    Meatball Parmesan Sandwich - Sandwich
    Kacy W.

    Seen this spot in passing & it had everything from, nostalgia & great food. Service was excellent. Food was amazing. I see why they've been voted best in Jersey. Felt like I was in an old gansta hangout. Lol

    The meatball is definitely homemade and has that unique taste to it. But I preferred it to be more well done, that's just a personal preference. The cheese used is worlds better than a lot a pizza joints who makes save type of subs. The sauce also was good. I'm not a fan of the hard roll and like I said earlier I would have preferred the meatballs to be cooked a bit longer. Other than minor differences, this place is legit .

    Five stars for Pizzamore. The meatball parm might actually be the best in Jersey. The cheese was perfectly melted--gooey, rich, and packed with flavor. The bread? Unreal. Crisp on the outside, soft and chewy inside, holding everything together without falling apart. The meatballs and sauce were great too, but honestly, the cheese and bread steal the show. Winnie, our dog, loved the meatballs--she was all over it. The cheese pizza was excellent too: great balance of sauce and cheese, a little flop but mostly sturdy, and the undercarriage had that slight char that hints at wood-fired. Crust was so good Winnie went back for more. It's a tiny hole in the wall, easy to miss, but that's part of the charm. Some guy was just chilling there on a Sunday--might've been the owner or just a friend--but it added to the authentic, no-frills vibe. Nothing fancy, just damn good food.

    PizzAmore is a small, hole in the wall joint located in a quiet residential section only a few blocks from Route 17. Be aware they currently close up by 8pm ( 7pm on Sunday). One of my proudest moments in almost 300 reviews... Owner John Speciale, from the old neighborhood I grew up in, is an infamous Foodie Savant. Owner of multiple pizzerias over the years, his current place is on the money. He has created the best meatball around and not just in my opinion. 3-years in a row award-winning best meatball in the state of NJ! (and I heard NY wants a challenge) If you grew up here in NJ , you know this is no easy feat. And this reviewer has had more than his share of Italian pizzeria food. Small menu but has everything you need. He must bake the bread he makes his sandwiches on because between the loads of fresh mozzarella, the tomato sauce, and those big, perfect meatballs, its the Best meatball hero. AND PIZZA ? I grabbed a few slices of Grandma-style pizza to go. In case you don't know, Grandma pizza consists of a sheet pan style pizza baked with mozzarella, plum tomatoes, fresh garlic, Pecorino Romano, and oregano. ( Note: he uses REAL deal Pecorino Romano, something that you may not realize can make something good into something excellent.) It was perfect. Even when boxing it up he added some nice basil leaves and sprinkled some olive oil on top. That's someone who knows how to serve the product the right way. Top shelf ingredients on everything. I gave up bread for Lent....I'm counting down the days to get back there and try other items, but I will never leave without some of those meatballs. Bueno! Mangiamo!

    You know those meatballs your great grandmother sometimes made on Sunday after church that sat in the pot with the tomatoes, sausage, and braciole for what felt like hours while you and your cousin tried to hot wire your uncle's Camaro because he was too busy with his new friend Angelina to be bothered to take you to Toys R Us to get some new He Man toys before we ate dinner? Well, if you want to be transported to that moment in time, try the meatballs here. They're that good. Get a meatball hero. Bring cash. You can thank me later.

To start,…read morethey bring out some ciabatta (?) bread, which was crusty on the outside but soft on the inside. For food, we decided to order a bunch of things to share: -Zucchini fritte (with lemon aioli dipping sauce) - this was thin and perfectly crispy but somehow not oily. It was addicting -Arancini - these were okay. Could have used more meat -Margherita pizza - can't go wrong with a margherita. I do wish the actual crust was thinner -Meatball & Co pizza (meatballs, sweet sausage, cherry peppers, tomato sauce, mozzarella & ricotta cheese) - same with the crust situation. The description also said cherry peppers but they also added jalapenos, which is not a big deal - just a call out. The sausage was alright -Seafood fra Diavolo (sauteed clams, calarami, mussels, spicy tomato sauce) - sauce could have used a bit more spice. They don't skimp on the seafood though. I was pleasantly surprised by the calamari, which can taste rubberband-y but that wasn't the case here -Tiramisu - tasted fridgey/supermarket-bought -Affogato - a nice way to end the meal. Made me wonder why I don't make more affogatos at home Overall, it the meal was fine. Is it something I'd crave for? I don't think so. Well, maybe except that zucchini fritte. I wouldn't mind ordering that again. Tip - BYOB (there's a liquor store across the street)

The crust had that perfect crisp while still being light and flavorful, the sauce was delicious, and everything came together perfectly.

The quality really speaks for itself, and this is easily a spot we'd come back to again and again.

I ordered the buffalo wings, garlic knots, a small cheese pizza with vodka sauce instead of marinara & mushrooms, and a cannoli. The wings were not Buffalo, they were a mix between Buffalo and bbq. If I had known, would not have ordered. Did not like the bbq sauce flavor. I also asked for ranch as I despise bleu cheese but alas, I did not get ranch and had to eat my wings plain. Garlic knots were perfect. The pizza tho. Ugh, it was so bad. They made a cheese mushroom pizza with way too much cheese and then put the vodka sauce on top after!!! Like a drunken grandma pie. That's not what I wanted. I asked for, "a cheese pizza with vodka sauce." It was so soggy that it soaked through the bottom of the box. Stayed soggy even after reheating in the oven. I ate half a slice and tossed the rest sadly. I won't be ordering from here again. The cannoli was fine but wouldn't order again either. The only thing I would eat again is the garlic knots. Very disappointing for Jersey pizza.
