We ordered a variety of dishes, including the pizza, which was delicious, a fresh grilled chicken salad, and the penne, which ended up being everyone's favorite at the table. The portions are generous, so you'll definitely leave satisfied. I also have to mention the bread basket. One of the breads was topped with an incredible tomato sauce, and I honestly haven't stopped thinking about it. It was so simple, yet so flavorful. I could have eaten an entire basket of just that alone! It's also BYOB and has outdoor seating, which makes it an even better spot for a relaxed meal. We'll definitely be back!

We had the Crispy Calamari and Salsiccia (sausage) as starters. Both starters were very tasty. Calamari was extra crispy. The Sausages were good, covered in the same marinara sauce used for the calamari dipping. We ordered a meat lovers pizza. The pizza was amazing. Crust was nice and crispy and great amount of meat. We had the chicken parm with spaghetti. It was good and the portion was decent. Here is why I had to knock it down a star. I personally had the pasta with bolognese. They use the same sauce as our starters except they were a little heavy on the salt. I couldn't finish the dish because of how salty it was. Other than that, the service was great and owner and staff seem very friendly and always came to check on us.

The inside of the restaurant nice but haven't really gotten to experience eating inside. I've mostly ordered to go, but I have not been disappointed any time ive gone! I love their cheesesteaks, one of the best cheesesteaks in NJ ive had so far! I can't wait to try other food items on the menu. I convinced my group yesterday to order cheesesteaks as well. Some did, and one other person got an order of shrimp scampi, which she enjoyed. Another got a Chicken Parm Sub & he said it was chef's kiss! The staff were super quick & friendly!

The bread they bring you before meal was fresh out of the oven. I was like oh no. I don't want to fill up on this but it is amazing. Warm and fluffy and cut into fingers. We got a Cesar salad as a starter to share too. That was very good. For my meal I got the tuna steak medium rare. They cooked it perfectly. The orange sauce they put over it too was amazing. I don't know how to describe it. Some sort of tomato base. Which I wouldn't think of for tuna. Then I finished the night with a cappuccino. I was too full for desert but we weren't in a rush. That hit the spot. This was a business meeting and they moved us to a larger table to give us more space which was super cool of them. We got to sit in the tented area where it was easy to talk to one another without yelling.

However, there was one time I had called to order for pickup and asked for a bacon pizza pie. A female had picked up the phone and told me they can't make it for me. Super weird and suspicious as my man bought a bacon pizza pie the week prior and no one refused him. To make sure I wasn't going crazy, I had my bf go back to order a few days later and the guys there did not blink & made us the most delicious bacon pie.

Updated review from two years ago, I tried the a margarita pizza yesterday after taking a…read moresabbatical. I am lowering my rating because the pizza crust isn't the same. Please note that you may like this type of "thin crust". The bottom of the crust felt and tasted like maybe it's over coated with cornmeal; the texture felt gritty crunchy. This would work if anyone prefers this texture. The sauce just tasted like it was freshly ladled over (no oven baked in flavor). The topping left very little space for the crust edge. I am still stuck on how unfamiliar the crust texture was. I am used to thin crust texture from raised bread dough not a corn-meal like feel. Another reviewer was also baffled with the crust. Reheat review: unfortunately, was not convincing to nudge up the rating. From tip to mid way of the slice, the structure was floppy. From mid way to the edge of the slice: structure held up. Flavor was still good, maybe now better tasting bc sauce now tasted baked in because of the re heating. Service was on time.

It was the first time I ever had a chicken Caesar salad slice, and I was surprised how good it was! The chicken was moist and well seasoned, and the salad on dressing on top was so tasty! I also tried a plain margarita slice which I didn't like. There wasn't enough cheese or sauce on it, and I didn't like the taste on the margarita either. My husband also tried a plain slice and a sausage slice, and he thought they were just ok. They had a big selection of all different specialty slices that all looked great. I'd like to try their bbq chicken slice next time. I'd skip their regular slices, but I highly recommend coming here for their delicious specialty slices!
