When I walked in the owner was super inviting, full of smiles, and very helpful. I tried the calzone. I opted for pepperoni with the mozzarella and ricotta. It was cooked perfectly and it was gorgeous to look at. The cheese could have used a little salt and the dipping sauce in my opinion wasn't good. Tasted like tomato sauce out of can. Overall it was good and I would try again. Nice size for $10. If you're in the area and craving pizza, Lefty's is a good option. read more

food is good make sure you ask the price when you order. Their menu price is not what you pay for even if it was taxed . I get it economy is hard but being transparent with customers about pricing on a menu is something that should be done. read more

Food is excellent. The delivery is on point. If they are out of something they call and ask you for a substitute.

Food always perfect!! Love their pizza and hot subs ! High quality service! Delivery is always hot .

Perfect Chicken Cutlet! Crispy, golden breading with a satisfying crunch and tender, juicy chicken inside. Perfectly seasoned and versatile--great on its own or in a sandwich. A must-try read more

Really great pizza. Crust is somewhat hard to describe. Not classic super thin tavern crust but unique and somewhat chewy. But a nice kind of chewy. And the sauce and cheese were delicious. A little off the beaten path and is overshadowed by that more famous Paterson pizza place but well worth the trip. I wouldn't put it in my top 5 in NJ but it makes a pretty exclusive list. Definitely look forward to going back. read more

Had a few people tell us to check this place out so on the way to a ballgame in the city we figured the perfect time is now! We had no suggestions on what to order but we were in a hurry so we figured just grab a few different pies and munch on that. We went with a pepperoni and a margherita. Since we have been there though, we've been told their Italian entrees and the Grandma Pie is excellent as well. The crust on the pies was solid. Nice thin crust with a bit of a snap and some char on the bottom. Exactly how I like it. The pepperoni was a pretty standard pie but the margherita was different, but quite good. There were large chunks of a high quality tomato on there and they didn't just toss whole leaves of basil on there like a lot of places do. I much prefer this to a normal margherita pie. Typically it's a pain to chew the basil and you get many full bites with no basil at all. Price is pretty much what you'd expect and the food was solid. Cannot complain one bit. I'd definitely go back. Also the bakery next door had some excellent Pistachio Baklava. read more

Ordered a cheesesteak with mozzarella for delivery. Arrived on time , but with American Cheese instead. Honest mistake. But then, a staff member called me on the phone requesting the original cheesesteak back!!! I wonder why? Makes me wonder what they're going to do with it? Resell it? Who does that? read more

Amazingly delicious food with consistent quality and affordable prices. You will get every cent of your money's worth with the portion sizes and the taste (the flavor is always there). Very pleasant if ordering over the phone and even more pleasant once you arrive. read more

My clients were in the mood for some fast food Italian and ordered from this place. For myself I ordered linguini with marinara and vegetables. I paid via phone with a nice man. I paid around 11:25am and the food didn't come til about 1:05. When it arrived everything looked good. I ate my food when I got in and the pasta wasn't bad. The only vegetables they had in the pasta that I enjoyed was the mushroom. I picked out a lot of the onion and pepper. The flavor was good though. All in all I had an ok experience. read more

Lefty's Restaurant and Pizzeria - a close up of a dish of food - Italian Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

So a little over a year later and this place is still great. Stopped in today for a late lunch with my husband. The gentleman (owner maybe or manager?) greeted us and was very pleasant. We ordered a cheeseburger with fries and a chicken parmigiana sandwich. He was kind enough to let us know we could get whatever toppings we chose for the burger. The place is cute with all the pictures all over the walls and they play a steady stream of what I guess would be called old school swing music -which totally fits the atmosphere. The food was good- the burger was a little well-done but we didn't state our temperature preference so I can't fault them there. It seemed to be charbroiled and was actually very tasty. The chicken parm sandwich was huge and we could only finish one half. It was $8.99 or $8.00 and for the price it was huge! I actually went in for a slice of pizza but there were so many things to choose from on the menu I changed my mind. The pizza did look good though and eventually I'll try it! The restaurant is very clean and the tables were bused right away. It's not super fancy but the food was great and it's a perfect spot to grab lunch or even a casual dinner. I'd definitely return. Service was good. Food and value were also good. read more

Great food!!! The staff is very friendly. I would definitely recommend. You won't be disappointed.

Wow! The grandma slice is out of this world. Possibly the best grandma slice I ever had. The spicing. The (vodka?) sauce. Everything. And price is right too The plain slice was also delicious. I'll definitely patronize them again the next time I'm in the area. Bravo! read more

I have driven past Lefty's often and decided to give it a try. After cooking for what felt like the 100th day in a row, I called in an order. We usually order from Wize Guys, but not after today. The chicken parmesan hot sub was perfect. The bread was fresh. The restaurant was sparkling clean and the staff was friendly. The prices were fair, if not a steal for good food. Thank you! read more

Portions are very generous. Shrimp Parmigiano had plenty of pasta and shrimp. The sauce was a bit watery. I would've like it thicker. I tried the calamari fra diavlo but the shrimp fra Diablo is def better Both came with salad and garlic bread (not garlic knots) Tiarmisu is made in house and delicious Parking on the side No indoor as dining as of 03.13.2021 Credit card ok Def will return Pizza looks delicious also read more

Stopped in to grab some takeout on a Saturday night. Got a chicken cheesesteak and saw they had individual slices, so grabbed one of those as well. The cheesesteak was pretty tasty, good sub roll they served it on, maybe a little salty but all in all, good. The slice I got was a chicken parm slice. Crust was fine, but it was a little dry. I've seen other places serve a little marinara on top of the parm slice to mitigate this but they didn't. Friendly service, would definitely go back but probably try something other than the parm slice. read more

I order a couple pies for a meeting I had. I did not eat the pizza so I can not attest to the taste but those who did eat it were satisfied. I did deal with the staff who were super friendly. They had my food ready and super hot for me at the time I requested and even helped me carry it to the car. As someone who relies on the food being ready when I need to make a meeting on time this was a huge relief as I am not usually so lucky and I really appreciated it! The pizza also smelt amazing and I will come back for any other meetings in the area. read more

Ordered Thai Chili Wings a month ago. I raved about them to a co worker. We order again. Sadly, I can't say the same again. The wings lacked seasoning this time. Overall good place to order lunch or dinner. However, consistency is key! Definitely wasn't pleased with my Thai Chili Wings today. read more

First time ordering from here and it did not disappoint! I had a personal Penne Vodka pizza, a side of mozzarella sticks (6) and marinara sauce. I put the sticks on top of each slice of pizza myself and poured the sauce over it and WOW! I cannot believe how amazing this was!!! I didn't realise the pizzeria delivered themselves as opposed to delivery apps like UberEats so next time I'll definitely give the restaurant my custom personally and support local! read more

Gawshhhh must I say PIZZA?! Lefty's has probably some of the best pizza I've had the pleasure of tasting in northern Jersey. I can easily say they're my favorite pizza in Clifton & they're quality is A1, superb off the charts with the fresh ingredients. Love love love lefty's, also the vibe inside is very old school Italian, it's be a cute spot once opened again. If you haven't been here and you live in the neighborhood, stop missing out and go here now!!! read more

Ordered an Italian hero with ham salami & provolone. It wasn't salami, I have no idea what it was didn't even look close to salami. It looked like baloney. Would not order a hero from here again cheap and fake cold cuts read more

My co-worker and I ordered delivery from Lefty's when we were on a business trip to New Jersey. We ordered chicken wraps, cheese fries, and fried ravioli. Everything was really good, the fried ravioli was really good. The food was very good and good size portions. We'll plan to order go eat at the restaurant next time we are in NJ. read more

Top Notch! Food is consistently great. Stand outs: Greek Salad, Eggplant Parm dinner, any type pizza, calzones, sandwiches, etc. Their vodka sauce is one of the best around. Also, the portions are VERY large, so typically the eggplant parm dinner is about 3 meals worth. All in all, a great place. The owner (don't know his name but he's the tall guy LOL) is always personable and great for small talk. Lastly, if you dine in, there are a few tables and it is BYOB, which is always a great option to have. read more

I've been ordering from Lefty's for quite sometime. I'm telling every Yelper that this spot does not disappoint!!! I usually order their pasta dishes and so far they all have been delicious. I went with the Shrimp Scampi this time and what I loved about this dish is they didn't skimp on the shrimp, 5 Jumbo Shrimps that we're fresh ! My previous order was fettuccine chicken alfredo pasta and that also was very good. This is my goto delivery spot for sure read more

The place is very clean, the service is super fast. The pizza is PERFECT! I order pizza without fail once a week and have tried various pizzerias around the area. I can say that this one has the perfect consistency. I walked in for one slice but couldn't resist ordering a second one. Not too greasy, perfect thickness, crunchiness and delicious crust. read more
