this is my go to place for pizza when I'm in the area. I've never ventured out with their pizza either; I've only ever had pepperoni or cheese but either one always satisfies me. it tastes so good, isn't overflowing with tomato sauce like some other places so I love that. also, when I reheat the pizza it comes out of my microwave fresh as if it was just made compared to other pies that give you a weird taste when reheated. overall, I'd recommend this place for pizza; I can't say anything for the pastas or salads since I've never tried them. read more

over the years I've tried different things there. their garlic bread and garlic bread with cheese is really good. it's not overpowering with garlic which is great. their margarita pie is delicious I love how plump the tomatoes are. The Philly cheesesteak pie is one of my other favorites. amy's favorite pie is very good. I love their pasta dishes especially the marinara sauce. they give you a nice salad and bread to go with it. The garlic in oil dishes are also delicious. I also love their Panini's and their wraps. I had their Mediterranean wrap, their chicken Caesar Panini and I had the Panini that had the chicken cheese arugula and peppers on it. I forgot the name of that one but that's my favorite. I had a few of their appetizers including mozzarella sticks buffalo wings french fries. all delicious. A few months back I did have their cheese calzone it's all ricotta cheese and mozzarella cheese. I am a cheese fanatic so that was definitely my favorite thing there so far! it's so hard to pick my favorite item because all of their food is just perfect it's hard to compare a pizza place to them. no one comes close! read more

I give it five stars for consistent good takeout italian food.... the pizza is great as well as the entrees. My wife and I order from here once a week and have never been disappointed! read more

I bought a 'restaurant' coupon to try this place. I had the "Big N Meaty" pie thinking it was going to be massive. It seems just like a regular pie- no more toppings than you would normally get. 3 pounds worth? highly doubtful. the garlic bread with cheese was decent but overall, just a another ordinary pizza. I won't go back- nothing great here. the sauce was ok- crust was ok. I went home and reheated it to make sure if was cooked enough. read more

The entrées are horrible there would never order food from there again there would the chicken tasted horrible wasted 50$ on food

The food here continues to get worse and worse. I can't describe it but the pizza just tastes cold and old, even after being warmed up. The people that work there really aren't that friendly either. There's been a few times I've caught an attitude. Basically every time I go there I tell myself that's the last time I will go. It's convienant because they don't have a credit card limit and I never have cash, read more

So, every once in awhile you get that hankering for your favorite Italian sandwich. My regular sandwich order from Proud Papas had always been the shrimp parmesan or sausage pepper and onion. The new bread they are using is so awful I could not order it again. I just ordered a sausage pepper and onion sandwich from Valentino's in Roselle Park. I asked for a whole sandwich I paid almost $15 and I'm happy to pay the money for quality sandwich with real Italian bread. Come on papas.. go back to the quality and the xhocenof whole or half. We'll pay the extra cost . read more

Proud Papa's is our favorite pizza place...good, clean tasting food and quick delivery. We like to order the buffalo chicken pizza (well done). Yummy every time. Worth checking out. read more

It's rare that I leave a review unless it's bad.. But I just wanna say that their caesar salad's are the best freaking salads that I have ever had in my entire like. Full of dressing and full of flavor. read more

I've been going through this epic journey of finding GOOD pizza in Union ever since my favorite place switched owners. Let me tell you, I think I've tried every pizza place in town and even surrounding towns. So happy to finally settle on Proud Papa's as my new pizza place. The crust on their pizza is fantastic. Perfect texture, perfect flavor. The sauce is awesome. I've tried their magherita pizza which was very flavorful, basil could be fresher but that's a rarity here in Union. The pasta here is really good too. Tried their shrimp scampi and lasagna, both were very good and surprisingly fresh compared to other places. Sounds like they have a lot of jaded customers but my experience has always been pleasant, everyone's been super nice. Thanks Papa's, looks like you have a new loyal customer! read more

This place has the best food ! From soup to salads , hot subs or entree's your definitely getting something great . Love the chicken soup and chicken parm is my fav's give them a try , you won't be sorry read more

The delivery is the worst! You could probably get NY pizza place to deliver faster to NJ

Our usual Tuesday night Italian take out Joey's Italian kitchen closed a few years back :(. We have been trying to find a viable replacement. Seems that we try a new place and food is decent but after a few weeks, it is not so good. We have ordered pizza a lot from Proud Pappa's which it great, we decided to try dinner. My husband is a Chicken parm. fanatic really liked the chicken parm..one downside the last time we had sauce on our pasta which we requested not to have. (the good news is we really did not need the pasta) . Today it was perfect and the delivery was spot on( my husband usually picks up) and dinner was still hot. Overall a really great job keep it up. read more

I don't know what happened to this place the last couple months, but everything has changed. The bread on the sandwiches, the pizza itself, pasta dishes and all the prices went up with it. It's not just that the quality changed, the recipes and ingredients are flatout different, the dough on the pizza as well. It's all pretty terrible now, don't understand why you'd make so many dramatic changes. Heard a rumor the place was sold, but the new owners should have kept everything the same then. read more

I have had quite a bit of pizza in my day but sometimes the pizza gets to our house almost cold, tastes like rubber and not to good. They have a lot of other great stuff though. read more

My go to place every for Friday "pizza night". Pizza is good - there are better in the area - but this pizza can hang in my top 5 because their specialty pies are very good. Their sandwiches is what sets them apart from other pizzerias in the area. Veal parm, meatball parm and Italian sandwiches are some of the best I've had. I've served Papa's at many family functions and always get rave reviews. Never had an issue with service. The rare occasion when something was amiss, they've fixed it with minimal concern. read more

Terrible service and staff they sent the delivery driver to the wrong address and tryed to make it seem like it was my fault when they had the address in the system already . They are rude and not a good restaurant in union twp i will never eat there again!!! read more

Foods alright but customer service won't have me coming back! The waitress watched me walk in for an order then went back to talking to a friend. I stood there for a few minutes before I had to say something which she then told me to go to the counter. Not pleased. read more

Terrible customer service. Worst phone call to a pizza place I have ever had. Rude, did not seem to understand basic English. I hung up - the guy was so unpleasant I was not confident about what he would do to the pizza before sending it for delivery. read more

Customer service sucks. Girl at cashier was nice and accommodating. Cooks were not. Very disappointed.

Hit or miss ( and it misses quite often). They were much better when they were known as Genaro's. The last time I ate there I had a simple meatball pizza and it tasted like the meat had gone bad. It was just a really strange taste that I never want to taste again in my life. Delivery's slow as well and they will very unapologetically tell you your order of a single pie will take "at least an hour". read more

I've been ordering from Proud Papas since I moved to Union about 5 years ago ...I've tried other pizza place but they just didn't taste right...proud Papas Pizza is amazing as are the rest of their menu...the owners pretty cool... polite when I call and he answered the phone..and the delivery guys are pretty nice.. read more

So disappointed in the food and service I received yesterday. I am always ordering from proud papa's and was extremely upset to pick up my order and find that the chicken francese was literally three pieces of chicken the size of chicken tenders and it was placed in a huge container. When I called and returned I was not greeted very politely and told that it was fine! I was given two of the same size pieces in another container and sent on my way. I have ordered it numerous times and was impressed with the two large pieces of chicken and loved it. But now I will never order from here again!!!! Expensive small portions and rude!!! read more

If I were you, I would stay away! The scum stems from the owner chris (i believe his name is) and works it way down! You can see the kitchen when you walk in the back door, and it is FILTHY! The food is terrible. Your better off eating a frozen Celeste pizza rather then that CRAP!! read more

Seriously the best pizza, Paninis, hot sandwiches, and wraps in union. Plenty of variety of paninis and wraps for vegetarians as well. This place hits the spot. read more

Fast service and decent food. Love their chicken wraps. So much more than pizza. Give other menu items a try!

With a broken ankle, I was unable to cook our normal Italian Easter feast. I ordered from Proud Papa's catering site. We were extremely happy! The delivery came on Saturday, right when promised. The delivery guy was polite, friendly and careful with the food. Everything was super delicious and well worth the money ... I will definitely order from the catering menu again! We also order from the restaurant and love their pizza and sandwiches. read more
