    Yellow margarita pizza
    Mariaté G.

    We had not made reservations in advance, so we purchase pizzas and eight in the seating available in front of the restaurant. It was nice to have this options since we had wanted to try this pizzeria. The service was pretty prompt considering they were very busy and we ordered 'to go' food. But I would have to say that the visit was completely worth it because the pizzas were delicious. Most amazing of all is the hazelnut with ricotta cheese with honey pizza. I like hazelnuts, but I'm not sure I would have ordered this one. Somebody else in my group ordered it and we had to order two more because it was so good. The ambience inside look nice but we didn't get a chance to enjoy it on this visit.

    I think the outdoor seating is great vibes in the summertime, but we thought the pizza was just meh. Like really nothing special about it. If you've had Lindustrie or Bleeker street pizza, those are still my top picks - for char, crisp, and doughiness.

    Absolutely amazing! I absolutely loved the pizza here. The servers were some of the nicest I've had the experience of having. I don't live in NJ anymore and the pizza is exactly the way I remember it. We ordered three pies, and each one was as good as the last. Can't wait to come back next time I'm back in NJ.

    The drink that they forced me to either leave there or chug

    Paid 180 dollars for dinner: 2 little bar pie pizzas and 4 drinks; as soon as I finished my meal I payed but I was still finishing my drink ; no more then one second after I payed the bill as I was drinking my drink mid sip this Asian woman hostess came over to me as rude as possible as I was finishing my drink and said "we have other patrons you have to get up" I was still finishing my drink and literally just paid 180 dollars. So utterly disrespectful. This is a photo of how much of the drink I had in my hand that I had to chug or leave it there. Never will be back out of the pure disrespectful behavior. Get thrown out mid drink right after paying 180$. Hostess should be fired for not using decent discrepancy.

    Great little pizza shop off grove. Good option for sit down or takeaway. Loved the Di natale pizza. I have had the meatballs when i sat down, i highly recommend. Takeaway pickup is smooth and efficient. Great staff!

    MEATBALLS WITH RICOTTA
    Richard S.

    Delicious pizza, attentive service and well organized restaurant. Razza has serving pizza down to a science and their expanded interior really allows for a more enjoyable experience that doesn't feel as tight and cramped as other pizza spots in NYC. We went with all-classics for our trip here including the Kale Salad, Meatballs (with Ricotta) and a FUNGHI + SANTO pizza. To me, the meatballs were the star of the show. Rich, flavorful and a generous portion of ricotta surrounding a handful of delicious balls of meat. It felt perfectly seasoned and flavorful without being overly heavy or meaty. Our server recommended keeping the sauce in case we wanted to dunk any of our pizza crusts. That was a great idea, though his suggestion for a FUNGHI pizza fell a bit short. I've heard great things about it online so was a bit disappointed that it felt a bit bland and the lack of proper red sauce made it less attractive compared to the meat-forward Santo. Still, based on the number of reviews raving about the FUNGHI maybe it's just me and I think if you have enough people to split a few pies it's worth trying and seeing for yourself. Finally, I also liked how there were separate entrances and exits for pick-up / delivery orders that was separate from the main dining area so the space didn't feel crowded by Uber Eats and people waiting for pick-up. All in all, I found NYC pizza, especially from Massara (the sister restaurant of Rezdora) to be better. But still, no knock to Razza here and worth a visit if you live in NJ!

    Lager "Green State"
    David Y.

    My friend mentioned I should try Razza out since I love pizza. I had this place bookmarked for some time and finally was able to stop by. Made reservations via Resy. There are two entrances, facing the building, the door on the left is the entrance to restaurant and the right is entrance for pickup (I went to the door on the right.. that's how I know). Place is dim but not too dark. Ate at the bar and it was nice. Ended up getting the Pepperoni ($28) and Burrata ($26) pizza. The pizza is Neapolitan-style. Both pies were solid especially the burrata, it was really interesting bc it didn't have a cheese pull but it was burrata cheesy. The dough was good and chewy. I obviously had a Coca Cola ($3) to wash down the pizza. Overall had a good experience and will try to get a table the next time I come back. * Highly recommend making reservations * Good service

    BREAD & BUTTER TASTING
    Riddhi S.

    I've been here 4-5 times already, and the experience has been consistently excellent every single time. We always start with the bread & butter tasting, which comes with three different flavored butters. The bread is served fresh and warm, and it's such a simple yet perfect way to begin the meal. Coming to the pizza -- absolutely amazing. We've tried the Margherita and Funghi, and both are outstanding. The pizzas are thin, light, and full of flavor, with a crust that's just perfect. It truly feels like authentic Italian-style pizza, and it's easy to see why this place is often called one of the best pizza spots around. I hype this place up all the time in front of my family and friends because it genuinely lives up to it. One thing to note: last-minute reservations can be difficult, so planning ahead is definitely recommended. Consistently great food, great quality, cozy vibes and a place I'll keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

    Yuelin L.

    Honestly, the experience is hard to describe in one word. The pizza itself was seasoned well. The Margherita and mushroom pies had nicely balanced tomato sauce and good cheese flavor, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. However, the crust was burnt enough to affect the whole meal. The first slices were fine, but by the end it felt like chewing on charcoal. The smoky aftertaste stayed in my throat. The grapefruit cocktail didn't taste like grapefruit at all -- more like artificial lychee syrup. I took one sip and left it. Seating was also disappointing. It felt like they expanded into a neighboring café space without updating it. The lighting wasn't harsh, just very plain and flat, and the decor didn't match the main restaurant. The whole area felt unfinished and lacking atmosphere. The meatballs were just okay -- very standard, nothing memorable. In summary, while the pizza flavors were solid, the burnt crust, strange seating situation, and bad cocktail made the overall experience just average. Definitely reserve ahead if you're going.

    Got the Calabrese, burrata, di Natalie They were all pretty good, I'd give it somewhere between 3.8-4, I think the crust could've had some more flavor overall but the toppings Made it good

    We were visiting friends in Jersey City and they suggested we come here for dinner. Apparently it's very popular. Super cozy, intimate vibe with dim lighting. Seems like you definitely need a reservation. We had a 8:30pm Saturday reservation but weren't seated until 9pm. They specialize in Neapolitan style pizza. We started with the bread and butter and the meatballs with ricotta. The bread and butter was very fresh but not sure if it needs to be a menu item at $10. For pizzas, 4 of us shared the yellow margherita, calabrese, and burrata. They were all outstanding. The yellow margherita was unexpectedly my favorite. We actually didn't order the burrata, but it came on the house which was a nice surprise. They have a great drink selection as well. Two of us shared a bottle of vermentino and the other two had a few cocktails. I would happily dine here again and highly recommend.

    GET THE MEATBALLS AND RICOTTA. Wow I am still thinking about them weeks later. They were so soft and flavorful. The crusts of the pizzas were very light and had that wood fired taste. The food was phenomenal. The only reason this place is a 4 is because the price is insane. I'm not used to eating at this location often so I'm not sure if the pricing is typical but it was pretty pricey for $24-$30 for a personal pizza. Great experience though and would recommend :)

    Steph Y.

    Razza absolutely lives up to the hype. I love all of their pizzas, but the Cavolini is hands-down my favorite -- perfectly balanced and so flavorful (love the anchovy, lemon and brussel sprouts combo). The bread and butter tasting is such a fun and delicious way to start the meal, and the meatballs and kale salad are just as impressive. Cocktails are excellent, ambiance is warm and inviting, service is great and honestly, it's totally worth the wait. I never wait for pizza, but this is the rare exception. Without a doubt, Razza is my favorite pizza spot in Jersey!

    My wife and I took our kids (10 and 16 year old boys) to this place on our last evening in NYC. We…read morewere looking for a place that had a nice ambiance and good food. Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

It's better than it needs to be, which in this neighborhood counts for a lot. The room is the star. Brass, smoked mirrors, marble, wallpaper with burlesque dancers, very Gatsby cosplay but done with actual money. Think the Campbell at Grand Central, minus the $28 martini attitude. It's also LOUD downstairs. Ask for upstairs if you want to hear your date. Gin is the program here and they take it seriously, house-infused bottles paired with specific tonics, not an afterthought. My G&T was legitimately well built. Food from chef JC Colón is better than cocktail-bar standard: truffle fries in duck fat are worth it, the lobster mac at $31 is rich and fine but you've had it before. Skip dessert. The steak frites at $48 is where I'd tap out, that's real-restaurant money for bar food execution. Here's the move though: weekday happy hour, 4 to 7. Dollar oysters and $13 cocktails in a room this pretty is one of the best deals in Midtown, full stop. Service was warm and fast even slammed. Not a destination, but if you're near Bryant Park or seeing a show, this beats everything else within five blocks. Book ahead, walk-ins were getting turned away by 5:30.

Downstairs, skip the fried chicken (it's tenders, whatever the menu says) and get the fish and chips, which are honest.

No, and half the old bar team has scattered to open their own spots around town, Limo in the East Village being the latest. But a Guinness and an Irish Coffee here on a weekday afternoon is still one of the better hours you can spend below Chambers. Book the Parlor, treat the Taproom as the warmup.

The Banana Split Sundae was so pretty. I loved how they placed all the little treats around the crevices/imprints of the dish (not sure how else to describe it ). It's huge, though, so definitely don't expect to finish it yourself. I'd recommend sharing it with 3+ people. I was also celebrating an anniversary, and they brought out a strawberry scoop for us. It tasted homemade and really fresh. I could actually see pieces of strawberry in it, which I loved. The restaurant is definitely on the pricier side, and getting a dinner reservation can be a struggle, but I'd absolutely go again if I got the chance. The decor is cozy and upscale, the food was excellent, and the whole place has a really nice atmosphere. My only real complaint was that our waitress kept pushing us to order more, which got a little annoying, especially since we had already ordered quite a bit. Overall: expensive + difficult reservation, but absolutely worth trying. And please get the truffle monkey bread.

    If you love great cocktails, this hidden speakeasy is an absolute must-visit! From entering with a…read moresecret passcode to the very last sip, the entire experience is incredible. It has easily earned a spot as one of my favorite bars of all time. The underground space flawlessly captures a raw, seedy, 1980s rock 'n' roll vibe, with eclectic decor that extends beautifully to the themed menus and custom glassware. Sitting at the bar was a highlight--the bartenders were fantastic, clearly proud of their craft, and they even humorously indulged my game of trying to guess the ingredients of each drink they mixed. The cocktail lineup is phenomenal. A few absolute highlights: the Purple Rain with its purple ice and peppercorn, the flambéed Dirty Dancing, a brilliant espresso martini riff called Flick The Bean, and Pure Temptation--which has glassware you just have to see for yourself. Don't miss this place if you're in NYC!

    The Woo Woo is loud and touristy--and honestly, that kind of sums it up…read more They market it as a speakeasy, which... technically yes. You need a password (easy to find online), and you go through a hidden door down a staircase. But it feels more like a novelty than anything else. NYC has way more iconic speakeasies, so this isn't somewhere I'd go out of my way for more than once. Nothing wrong with the vibe--it's Times Square, so you already know what you're getting--but it's definitely a one-and-done kind of spot. The drinks are good and super fun, but they're very extra (smoke, presentation, all that), so between that and how packed it gets, it can take a while just to get one cocktail. Didn't try the food. Overall, go for the pics and TikToks--it's perfect for that. I'd recommend checking it out once, but I don't really see it being a repeat spot.

    I usually go to Alamo Drafthouse in Brooklyn to watch movies but I got an invitation to a Soirée…read morehere for the movie, Wicked. I didn't know what to expect but I loved the Broadway show and I'm always down for immersive events. So I arrived at the Press Room and saw that there was a bar with a couple of tables surrounding it. It seems to be where the kitchen is for all the wonderful food that Alamo provides during the in-dining movie experience. I had to approach the bartender to find out where exactly this party was and he instructed me to look beyond the large curtain to the side just as if I were searching for the Wizard of Oz. As I tugged myself behind the curtain, I walked into a decent-sized room and with balloons and the words, "Welcome to Emerald City" in the front of the room with a DJ playing today's hits and of course, songs from the Wizard Broadway show. At first, I thought this was going to be a dance party but soon realized that it was going to be a craft party instead. There was a station for making your own broom, one to make a friendship bracelet, and another one for letter writing along with sealed wax to use on the envelope with different stamps. I sipped away an Old-Fashioned in my souvenir Wicked cup while singing along to the Wicked soundtrack and making a friendship bracelet for my daughter. This experience was relaxing and joyful so now I know my type of party consists of a craft night. Close to the end of the night, I participated in a Wicked costume contest. I lost but nevertheless, I had a good time. Ended the night with an order of burger before heading home to show off my creations. I can't wait to check out their other events and come here again!

    It's an enjoyable bar. It's slightly hidden away inside of an office building two flights down via…read morethe escalator next to the Alamo Drafthouse. Nice selection of alcohol, friendly bartenders and attentive service. Since it was tucked away it wasn't as crowded and I was able to spend an hour catching up with my friend and it wasn't overly crowded or loud.

Mood lighting, comfortable seating, great drinks in a cozy and Victorian-inspired space are the perfect blend of unique and. I always felt like I was part of something special the few times enjoyed creative, delicious, and strong libations from the pros at the bar. While it has always been pricey, I do feel like the excellent service ambiance, and drink quality warrant this, but may prevent more folks from becoming regulars so to speak. I love the clever and compact bathroom design, too. IYKYK Long live Apotheke!
