    MARGHERITA pie
    Ashley D.

    Upon walking up to mozzarella, you're greeted with this corner property that is dark and alluring with beautiful lighting & red napkins, first thing through the windows. When you enter the front is like any other pizzeria where you can order a slice for take away. Once you come around there's a full seating area, equipped for small and large groups. My partner had a margarita pie and a kale Caesar salad. Both were beautiful and tasty. I had the pesto with homemade pasta and grilled salmon. Also beautiful and tasty. I think the food is reasonably priced and the servers mean well. They want you to enjoy your experience and get exactly what you want. Although our server missed the mark a couple of times everything was OK. I'll be back to check out other items on the menu.

    Mozzarella is truly one of the best italian restaurants I have been to in New Jersey. Everything is made fresh, the atmosphere is calm, intimate, and super clean. I have to commend the team for making us feel so welcomed. The pizza was my favorite, and the entire party enjoyed everything that was ordered. I highly recommend their black cherry soda along with ordering a nice pizza pie. I was very surprised to see that this place hasn't been reviewed on here yet!

    Penne alla Vodka
    Patricia M.

    Service was amazing. My friend and I went here for lunch on a Wednesday and they were empty. You walk in and it's a pizza counter but then to your right is an elegant dining area. My friend said they mastered a balance of casual and fancy dining. He also said he'd give this place five stars based on service. Andrew was our server. He was super informative and personable. I got the crispy eggplant sliders and penne vodka. The crispy eggplant sliders were delicious. I enjoyed that the slider is on garlic knots. I would get this again. The penne vodka was good, but I'd try something else. My friend got a salad which looked super yummy. This is a good place for a date. Just a heads up, there is service charge of 18%, and tipping is optional. Excited to go back and try something else!

    Mozzarella has amazing food, service, atmosphere, and decor. Inside, outside patio or enclosed patio expect expert friendly service serving decadent and lavishly presented food that is consistently delicious. I love this little gem in South Orange.

    Pesto Pasta
    Madaline C.

    Love this spot! Mozzarella in South Orange is such a gem -- cozy, welcoming, and BYOB (which is always a win in my book). The service was super friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We tried a few comfort food staples and everything hit the spot. I'm definitely coming back to try the pizza and mozzarella sticks -- heard they're a must. The interior is really cute too, and it works well whether you're coming with a date or a small group. Great vibe all around.

    Mediterranean confit pappardelle
    Krista B.

    I've been to Mozz two separate times. I enjoy the modern Italian menu. I like a good red sauce joint as much as anybody else but we have enough of 'em around here. I think I accidentally got the same thing or similar both times because all the ingredients appeal to me so much. I ordered the Mediterranean pasta (I chose the pappardelle) which is tossed with a slow-roasted cherry tomato confit, capers, Kalamata olives and crisp, seasoned toasted breadcrumbs. I've also had the same server twice and he is VERY attentive and will carefully describe items to you and suggest his recommendations. The ambiance is casual and the decor is a sleek clean modern situation. There's a lickee store right across the street if you want to BYO. I also appreciate their eco-friendly to-go packaging.

    We visit Mozzarella for lunch on a Saturday. The space is very sweet and elegantly decorated, especially for the holidays. The lunch was fine, it wasn't anything we would have to return for. We had the ribeye ciabatta and the blackened caesar wrap. It all tasted like anything from a local deli would taste. The service was friendly. I would come back to try dinner, as the pasta plates looked great.

    Date night
    Jonai A.

    Our Favorite Neighborhood Date Night Spot. Great service and healthy servings of all the items we order. BYOB.

    Eggplant parm soooo good, fries are okay
    Evin G.

    Beautiful interior and the service was very friendly and attentive. We made a reservation and they were very kind to accommodate us with little notice. We ordered the eggplant parm, chicken Marsala and the fish with risotto and veggies. Everything was delicious and the prices were extremely reasonable. A quality sit down family restaurant. I would absolutely come back.

    Brownie - not their strong suit
    Lauren H.

    I wanted to like this restaurant but it fell short, especially for the price. The pizza (10" margherita) for $19 had a crust alike store-bought white bread and toppings that were flavorless. The two desserts, tiramisu and brownie were $8 each and pretty average. If the prices were lower I would be less critical. It's possible they shine with their pastas or other menu items, but I was dissatisfied with what I ordered.

    Mozarella sticks
    Rose C.

    Tried Mozarella for the first time tonight to meet up with friends. Pros: Convenient location Street parking available Accepts walk-ins Reasonable pricing Nice staff Nice ambiance Cons: - Bit of long wait for food - The food was missing seasoning/flavor - Known for their mozzarella sticks, but the breading was very dry and average I had an okay experience. I wish the food was better in the flavor department. The food wasn't inedible, but it was kind of bland and dry, in my opinion. Long story short, I would say i would grab maybe grab some appetizers for llunch if I was in the area, but the food doesn't really stick out to me, so I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here often.

    Mango Sorbetto
    Maria S.

    Good place, cute design. FYI it's no longer halal. Pros: - no reservation needed for a weekend group visit, lots of space - not that expensive for the amount of food you get - lots of street parking - food tastes good! The pastas and pizza are great, the dessert and mozzarella sticks weren't that great Cons: - no longer halal, and they didn't have that update advertised when we went. We just happened to be told by the waiter that it changed - took a loooong time to get the food - the mozzarella sticks were large but not that good tbh, tasted plain and dry It's a nice place to visit if you're in the area! But I wouldn't go out of my way to go again.

    Clam pizza with pesto
    Dena H.

    The inside of Mozzarella is very homey and decorated really nicely. I would suggest having a reservation, we went on Tuesday and it was empty on arrival but completely full mid dinner. The food here was alright which was disappointing. A lot of the dishes were missing flavor or salt. We had the mozzarella sticks, truffle fries, calamari for appetizers which were okay. For my entree I had the chicken fettuccine. The chicken was good but the pasta was very bland.

    After phoning in my order yesterday, I looked at my call history and hadn't been here since July…read more2025. So here is an updated review. I ordered an italian chicken cutlet sandwich (chopped), fries comes on it of course, along with mayo, ketchup, pepper (hold the salt), and grilled onions (hold the peppers). I usually go with a half portion is more than enough; a whole could easily feed two or more people. I am glad to see that that hasn't changed, despite the prices going up and the 3% surcharge if you do not pay in cash. Pro tip: if you can, pay in cash!!! My sandwich was delicious! Better than the last time. It was made precisely to my liking, just the way I ordered it. The service over the phone was friendly and in the store for pick up it was efficient and swift. I was in and out, thankfully, because it was crowded. If ever the craving strikes again, I'll be back!

A content creator's video popped up on my timeline, and I'm so glad it did. I immediately looked this shop up, and it absolutely did not disappoint. I ordered the #4 Half Italian Sub (pictured), and my fiancé got the Unlimited Cheeseburger Sandwich (not pictured), which was HUGE. Both sandwiches were incredibly fresh and packed with flavor. The experience was even better because of the staff. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted so warmly. They could tell it was our first visit, recommended their favorite sandwiches, and shared a little about the shop's history and how long they've been in business. Between the genuinely friendly service and the delicious food, they've already earned two repeat customers. This place is officially a new staple for us, and we can't wait to come back!

Anthony, if you read this, you seriously need to check what's happening at this location. You either need to replace some of these employees or take their phones away, because they seem far more interested in being on their phones than preparing customers' orders. And don't even get me started on the customer service. It's practically nonexistent. There is no sense of urgency, no accountability, and no respect for people's time. Customers shouldn't have to stand around watching employees ignore them while orders pile up. I've known the history of Tony Boys Sandwiches and Anthony for years, which makes it even more frustrating to watch this location decline. It's hard to believe this is the standard that's now being accepted. Poor management, unprofessional employees, constant mistakes, and a complete lack of accountability are driving loyal customers away. A successful business depends on discipline, customer service, and competent staff--not employees who seem more interested in their phones than doing their jobs. Anthony, if you care about your reputation, it's time to clean house and restore the standards that built this business. This location needs a complete reset. .

He let us sample everything we asked about and offered to cut up an apple and baguette for us to enjoy with our cheese selections.
