I'm…read moredumbfounded that they sent meatballs in an unsealed container with a thin, watery sauce, and I'm dismayed that this awesome short rib and mushroom pie was so oily it saturated the pizza box. All of this, yet the food was still quite good despite all the misfortunes and mis-steps. I don't even know how to rate them ... 3.5 seems right, so do I go 4 stars for the solid flavors, or do l go with 3 because the pizza needed a third ingredient for complexity and a lot less grease, the white bean soup was made with red kidney beans, and the meatballs were in an ounce of this sauce... But that short rib pie could be something really special, I added a balsamic drizzle, even great with some horseradish. We definitely want to explore the menu more, am I right? Who else has tried em?

I had a couple of slices that were nice and thin, crispy and very flavorful. Dean, who is making the pies and doing the cooking, busy as he is, is one of the friendliest guys you will meet in a Pizza place! He says hello, welcomes you, and makes sure you know something about his offerings. Sure, its a small place and sometimes they are very busy and do not have all the time in the world to chat, but ask any question and Dean is happy to help! Maria is soft-spoken and kind, and the food is always top notch. Service can be slow at the counter, they have been understaffed a few times while I was there, just Dean and Maria. But the food is worth the wait. On another night, eight of us ate in the dining room, which is very attractive, and the food was excellent! We will be going back in a group again - especially after the Cruise Nights at East Wind in Wading River. Pete G.

The friendly waitress Grace promptly took our drink order and gave us time to review the menu.

My husband ordered the Sunday sauce complete either pork, sausage, two large meatballs and a huge dollop of ricotta. He thoroughly enjoyed it with plenty to spare. I had the lemon cream pasta. Very rich but needing more lemon. Such a huge portion I will be enjoying it again. Great to have a local place to sit down and enjoy a casual meal

Let me start by saying I live in Ridge. This place is great if you are in a bind, but by no means…read moredo I go out of my way to get food here. It is more of a pizza place than an Italian restaurant. Although they have a wide selection of different types of pizza slices, they are are very generic. Out of all of them I believe the OG Grandma pizza is their best. They try to overdo it with all these crazy flavors but if they stuck to the basics (6-10) different pies they can really take the pizza to the next level. Same goes for the dining food, I take quality over quantity any day. Again, its not BAD, but it wouldn't be a place I take my friends/family from out of state for authentic pizza/Italian. Something worth noting. I had a bad experience the last time I went there which unfortunately made me decide not to come back. If you haven't herd of 'too good to go', google it, it will help with story. I called Alfredos a half hour before closing to order 1 plain pie. I got a bad vibe on the phone like I was inconveniencing them. I arrive 15 minutes later I didn't want to keep them waiting and my pie is just getting 'sent' (Placed in oven) so I know its got a solid 10-13 mins (average) So I wait and while I'm waiting I ask the clerk "Do you do too good to go?" because I noticed a significant about of leftover pizza in display case. He replies "No" I then asked "What do you do with all of this pizza at the end of the night?" He replied "We throw it out" I know for a fact based on experience that MOST pizza places either give it to staff to take it home, or will sell it all for a cheap price opposed to just wasting it in the trash. So I ask and the guy gave me a really hard time. I said "If you're not taking it home, can I pay you (offer cash or charge whatever's easier) I don't want it free" He then rushed my pie out of the oven and said "Have a good night!" It really rubbed me the wrong way, what a complete waste. Take the cash and pocket it, share it as a 'tip' I don't care. Why would you not want to make MORE money and make a customer happy? Between that the the unprofessional delivery drivers in street clothes eating behind the counter and touching everything with their bare hand I said I'm done wit this place.

The food has always been good but this time it was excellent with huge portions. My wife had the clams and absolutely loved it. Only my dad could finish all his! It comes with some nice warm types of bread and real butter pads. If you aren't totally full they give you mini cannolis at the end. The service was prompt and attentive, our waitress seemed fairly new and inexperienced but she made up for all the little errors with a smile and " ill take care of that immediately". Since the full remodel the place is very elegant and very comfortable, beautifully appointed.Well the only quibble I had was and I don't know if its I'm from Tennessee or i its just I know exactly food costs but I'm guessing the menu was up 25 to 50 percent since last time we were here before the remodel.

They also worked with us when we ordered pizzas for a birthday party, which made the whole experience even better. This time we ordered an eggplant hero (with Alfredo sauce instead of red sauce), an eggplant rollatini roll, and a meatball hero. The eggplant hero with Alfredo was amazing. The eggplant rollatini is always fantastic -- easily our favorite eggplant out of the local places. And the meatball hero was great too. No misses. We also really like their pizza and end up ordering from here about every other week, which is probably the strongest endorsement I can give. Inside has that classic pizza joint vibe -- perfect when you just want to grab a quick slice while you're out and about. One small suggestion that would make them even better: it would be awesome if individual slices were available for online ordering. You can order slices when you walk in or call, but having that option online would be super convenient for nights when we just want a slice or two for the kids and heroes or meals for us. Overall, great food, reliable, and easy to recommend. We'll definitely keep ordering!
