The Paninis are good, and the pizza is more eclectic than pure Italian but it is tasty, albeit a tad dry. Prices are more than they should be. Also, I gave them a gift card (only 15 dollars), and they said it was outdated which it was not. You lost a local customer folks. Wish the old owners were still there. They wouldn't have had this happen to me. Atmosphere- N/A read more

Didn't like their sauce, too sweet! Also I ordered grilled chicken over broccoli rabe and the the chicken was like chicken jerky and I couldn't chew it! Sorry will not return. read more

Surprisingly good pizza. This unknown hole in the wall really is a winner. They had a variety of pizza types and toppings. The pepperoni and sausage slice ($4) was flavorful, oily but not too oily, thin but not too thin, crisp, and flavorful. The consistency was just right. The toppings were also flavorful. Crust could be a little more flavorful, but everything else was solid. 8/10 pizza. read more

Marino's Trattoria - Grandma 's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Watchung, New Jersey

You know, this place keeps me alive and I never reviewed them. All around, its the best food in the area. I've eaten the food at Marinos at least 100 times. I am so lucky to have a great Pizza Restaurant 5 minutes from my house. Everything I've ever ordered from them was excellent. Their gourmet Pizza is very creative. The Cannoli is perfect. The Chicken Francese and Marsala are top notch. The Vodka sauce and Bolognese are better than what I make at home. The service is EXCELLENT. The adorable Spanish girl behind the counter, (I should know her name but I never asked), is my favorite. Even the Tuna sandwich is outstanding! Come on, stop the BS. There is NO WAY anyone can rightfully give this place a bad review .. Be honest and give them the 5 star review they deserve! Joe D read more

Food was horrible. I had to wait 30 minutes for my meal to arrive and when it came, the food was salty as hell. The cook there has a heavy hand with the salt. Food is uneatable. It was a waste of my money to eat here. read more

Sauce is overly sweet. Their pizza tastes like terrible fast food style where the crust is bread and the sauce sweet.. tried some of the pasta dishes where again that sweet pasta sauce was used... super disappointed since this is the closest pizza shop to me and would've been convenient to have. read more

Nice place, nice decor. Customer service was weak. Don't think I even got a hello. Pizza was okay, but what killed it for me was that the pizza was sort and floppy. I couldn't even fold it to eat it. Disappointed with the pizza, but could be great for other things. My first time patronizing. read more

Came here for a private family get-together. I am a big eater, but I was overwhelmed by the quantity and quality of the food. A cold meat and cheese plate (several for our table for 24!) followed some of the best bread I've had in a long time. 2 types of Calamari, grilled vegetable skewers, penne vodka w spinach and prosciutto (outstanding!), a very interesting and tasty couscous side, grilled chicken leg pieces, salmon fillets in a delicious sauce, escarole & beans--all top notch, and plenty of it! Then, they brought out plates of Italian pastry---cannoli, cookies, biscotti----and offered up espresso with it. The group was VERY Italian, including a couple of former deli owners, and all had high praise for the food and service. And our paying hosts were very pleased with how reasonable the tab was! Grazie Mille, Marino's! read more

One thing that is consistent about Marino's... They always disappoint! Their pizza is not good. Soft, mussy crust, pastie sauce. Their dinners are decent at best. I live just a few minutes away so location is convenient. A few weeks ago I order a chicken cutlet sandwich. It was sopping with grease. Went yesterday for an Italian sub, figured how bad could they screw it up. The sandwich was all bread! Hardly any meat! Its just not worth it when I can go 5 minutes away and get a great sandwich every-time at A&G in Warren. read more

Been a satisfied customer for over 10 years! These guys make a great pizza, delicious dinners, and it's all authentic and crafted right. You won't be disappointed! They deliver and are a staple of the community! read more

Grew up going to the original Marinos in Watchung: lovely, authentic Italian family and food ! Several years ago, the business was bought by someone else. Since then, prices have gone up a bit, and food quality has gone down considerably. It's worth giving the place a shot if you're in the area, but I've had overpriced pizza that was for too greasy for my tastes on multiple occasions. read more

A friend recommended it and I stopped to try some. Got a slice of Marguerita and a slice of White with broccoli. I was very happy with the appearance, texture, flavor. I've decor of the place as well. Will come back. read more

Best find. Didn't show up when I requested something from Waze. This place has amazing different pizzas and salads. Best drop in find, that we have come across on ages. read more

When the original owners left we were devastated. Santa made the best marinara in town. The first time we ate under the new owners we vowed never to come back. The food was terrible. They MUST have changed hands because the food was SO good the next time I ordered. About 3 months ago I went back in for a quick slice and was amazed at how good my pizza was! They make a thin crust mesculin salad pizza with cranberrys, goat cheese, pine nuts and dressing. It's the best salad pizza I've ever had. The owner is really nice and will pretty much make anything you want. I haven't tried their entrees, but it's on my to do list! Try it, you won't be disappointed. read more

Salty!! Too salty!! They also charge a "3.9% cc fee" the pizza tasted like salt was dumped on it. Sorry.

Love this place!!! Great food and nice people! Excellent night out with my love:-) Bring a nice bottle of wine and enjoy the specials! read more

Delicious Grandma Pie with extra. BYOB Great evening... Waitress is attentive. Hubby had seafood pasta with garlic oil... DELISH read more

Marino's Trattoria - Pizza Near Me - Watchung, New Jersey

We ordered a large pie and wings. First of all we asked for crispy pizza it wasn't crispy Second there was a black piece of burnt whatever on the back of one of the slices I guess the oven wasn't scraped?? The wings were mediocre I thought the hot sauce would be mixed in but was on the side.I could have bought wings from Shop-rite and stuck them in the oven myself. For 9.50 it def wasn't worth it. read more

Indifferent service, cold pizza. Told by the waiter " it was hot when I got it from the kitchen " kitchen was 8 feet away. Uninviting decor. Off my list for a repeat vosit. read more

I was going to give this a two star but as I was eating my pizza I couldn't even finish it. This pizza taste like it's been sitting out for days and it doesn't taste fresh at all. I honestly regret choosing this place.There are plenty of other pizza places in the area. I will not be returning and I will also be going hungry for lunch now. read more

Place was great in it's original spot (same mall area, different building) but has gone downhill since moving. the caprina pizza i had a few months ago was too sweet and difficult to eat, everything kept sliding off. too much sauce on everything, including the salad i ordered tonight with a request of dressing on the side (reminded them twice) which was ignored, and only discovered when i arrived home. soggy, limp, unappetizing, straight into the garbage. waste of money. time to find a better option... read more

Pizza was the worst. Scauce was gross,cheese didn't taste like normal pizza cheese. I don't what the heck I just ate. And the topping on the cake this mixture of a pizza didn't agree with my stomach. Never ordering from here again read more

My first time here since their move to the new location. I was very disappointed w the chicken parm sub. The breaded chicken was thin and the flesh was dark, which appeared to be odd to to me. Plus, it was sliced in small strips and not a cutlet. And they skimped on the mozzarella cheese. The pizza in the display didn't look very appealing, nor did the pasta sitting in the trays. I am doubtful I will be back. read more

I don't eat Italian often, but when I do, I prefer Marino's in Watchung. For lunch, the pizza is exceptional (specialty slices are key). The cheese-steaks and pasta fagioli are also very good. For dinner I like the antipasta appetizer and the veal parm. read more

This is my favorite pizzeria/restaurant. I love everything they make. My absolute favorite is their eggplant parmagiana and the Grandma pizza. Their salads are so fresh and flavorful, the Dante sandwich is amazing, I could go on and on, needless to say everything is amazing. The ambience is cozy and the staff is very helpful. read more

Definitely better options in the area. Tried two hot subs while I was there. Cheesesteak was one of the worst I've ever had - tasteless and really skimped on the cheese. And the chicken parm sub was underwhelming - way too much bread for the tiny amount of chicken. Chicken was steaming and bread was cold. read more

If you're looking for a solid tasting pizza that will top off and enjoy an amazing evening with family, this is the place you want

I went back today and there were different pizza makers and the pizza wasn't as good. Had to drop it a star. I guess the pizza quality here depends on who is making the pizza. Still curious to try their food which I have yet to do. read more

I've been going to Marino's now for 3 years and I have never been disappointed. The ingredients they use are always fresh and their food is prepped freshly every day. The Pizza, Capriani salad, and Chicken Lenny is by far one of my 3 favorite foods. I have tried about almost every dish and never had a complaint. Great job by the owner with consistency! read more

Loved my dining experience! Looking forward to returning soon:-). So thrilled this place is close to where I live!

Food is delicious and the employees are extremely nice...good customer service goes a long way

Food is pretty good! But I won't be ordering from them again. They don't know what menu items are what and just throw food on a plate. Tomato sauce and Marsala are two very different things. You can't just show one on the menu and serve another and just be ok with it! read more

Pretty bad pizza if you ask me. They also managed to mess up my pasta order. And they make the worst buffalo wings I've ever had. I certainly won't be returning. read more

I recommend the tuna and the wings. I love this little spot they are so friendly and the prices and food is great.

Our favorite at Marinos is the Grandma Pie! The service is friendly & quick. It's one of our regular go tos for pizza.

Fair pizza. Unremarkable sauce. Average toppings.
