Been coming here since I was a little girl. Pizza taste has never changed and pricing remains reasonable ! Service was quick considering I got one slice during lunch time . Good ambiance there's seating space to eat in or take to go. Haven't been here in a while but today reminded me why this place is worth stopping by! read more

I'm have been getting pizza here since my childhood. Hadn't been in a while so decided to stop in for a slice. Still decently priced considering the economy. Got one plain slice and took it to go. Good service has always been my experience even when they are busy. There is space to sit inside. Has a small parking lot and there is street parking. read more

Since its National Pizza Day 2024 friends Adam Ginnotti, Dave Cavaliere, and I headed to Paterson to one of those bucket list, iconic pizza places, that I always say you have to visit before they're gone. Taormina Pizzeria & Restaurant was established in 1981, and is still owned and operated by the same family, who emigrated here from Italy. It has been rated as one of the 3 best Pizzeria/Italian Restaurants in Paterson. Old school, small, red-sauce, unpretentious, store front joint serving New York style pizza and other Italian favorites. Portnoy gave them a visit a couple of years ago and admitted he liked the pie despite it not being his style. We were welcomed with warmth and hospitality by the busy counter staff, and had the opportunity to discuss the eatery's history with the son of the original owners, 2nd generation Pizzaiolo. The pie was excellent. Unique in its own way. Heavier, chewier, doughier, and slightly thicker than most, but it all came together to create a delicious pizza. Nice, tasty sauce, with just the right amount if cheese, and perfectly seasoned. I always prefer a plain-Jane cheese pie over one with all those toppings, which I think can ruin a well made pie. We had a great time celebrating "National Pizza Day" at Taormina's, 43 years and still going strong. read more

Wow, probably some of the best tasting pizza I have ever had. I was a bit amazed of the taste and style of the pizza here at Taormina. My first time here, and we ordered some Pepperoni pizzas. The cheese and dough was so fresh and clear of greasy taste and filling. Nice owners and friendly staff here. It looks like your typical Mom and Pop Pizza place with the hole in the wall feeling. Will be our go to spot whenever we are in town. read more

Solid spot, 2 slices, 2 garlic knots sauce and bottle of water for 8.25. Pizza is a little thick, but a nice crust and def not heavy. Sauce was the star which you don't see very often. But the sauce on the pizza and with the garlic knots was really good. Cheese wasn't over whole slice, or else I might have enjoyed this more. read more

Love the chicken dinner special with penne, broccoli. And spinach. The salad is always fresh. The beef Pattie's with cheese are mouth watering. And the pizza is as classic as it comes !! Much love to the owner of Taorminas who always smiles, says hello, and is warm and welcoming read more

Best pizza in town, i have been going to this place since my grammar school years and i never get tire. Love their food.

My first time, and I'll definitely be back! I kept it very basic with two plain cheese slices. I like that they do NY style pizza their way. The crust is a bit thicker than I expected, but it has great chew, and a satisfying "doughiness" with a wonderfully crisp underside. Their crust also provides more structure to accommodate a generous serving of mozzarella. The sauce tasted so fresh, tomato-y, and deliciously well balanced, with some sweetness to counter the acidity. The service was warm and gracious, and I have such respect for how reasonable they've kept their prices! I really look forward to returning to Taormina's to try the rest of their menu! read more

Was coming to this Pizza spot when the Owner the Dad was working there I don't go anyplace else but tonight was extremely Disappointed The Lasagna was Nasty Oil and sauce One brother cook better than the other should had went to ShopRite purchased a frozen Lasagna and had changed spent $13 for oil and sauce WOW read more

A hidden treasure in Northern Jersey. It's been a business for over 40 years their food is spectacular and pizza family owned great place

been going here since i was a kid, still the best!!!!!!!, the taste is very distinct, i love coming here

Many things make me nostalgic: Old Barney episodes... Men In Black... Trips to Dutch Country, PA... And OLD pizzerias from childhood that are still standing... Well like an old hip-hop duo (MORE nostalgia), I'm gonna channel their famous single to tell how many stars I'm giving: I got 5 on it! I grew up eating the pizza from this joint, from the time I was about 4 and lived across the street from them. Their pizza hasn't changed, and I still feel like a measly kindy-gartener when I bite into a slice. It's so thick and chewy. #Pause. Between the thick, soft layer of cheese, and the crust that's thin enough to still be called NY-style, but thick enough to be chewy and not overly crispy? Yeah this slice is a winner. They've got some dope combos on their pizzas that are pretty modern, but have still maintained the amazing food of yesteryear that have kept many people coming here for decades now. No frills. Just good pizza. Some say it's too thick. But those are the same people who find models with 2-inch waists to be sexy. Nope. Gimme my thick'ums... Well, PIE that is... Oh, wait... Ummmm... #PhrasingBoom #ArcherVoice #DoubleEntendre #Innuendo #idc read more

Taormina Pizzeria - We finally gotta pizza the pie. #Badumtsss - Pizza Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

I love this place, my go to for fresh pizza! I have been going here for years! Same faces and always cheerful! I wish they took credit, that may be a good thing they don't because I would always order from there if they did. read more

Placed an order for a chicken Parm pasta and Italian sub, was told it would be a 15 min wait but I showed up after 30 to give them time . I got there and was told to wait 10 mins . I gave them the time and returned and someone else told me to come back in 15 mins . What kind of a business are these people running ? I would've had no problem waiting an hour for my food, if I would've been told it was going to take an hour . Why waste peoples time? read more

Best pizza ever. Best wings also. The way this place has such a family vibe to it makes the food so much better.

monster morzetta best pizza of all time. lets f'ing go! this is da spawt! never fail and will always be the greatest eve!

Pizza is too thick but the sauce was surprisingly sweet. No garlic knots here. No delivery either-this is Paterson people. You probably need extra insurance to offer that. Parking can be challenging so try to make your visit during the day. The dining room is large enough for a group and there is a tv so you'll be ok dining alone as well. My advice to you would be to order a pasta dish with the marinara sauce. It's sweet. If you like sweet... read more

I've been coming to this Pizzeria for 20+ years and they continue to make the best Pizza in the Paterson area. I really can't recommend anything else from the menu since all I ever ordered from here was the Pizza. If you are in the area, or looking to get some Pizza with fresh mozzarella, this is a place you must try. read more

Great tasting pizza, friendly service and comfortable atmosphere, but damn it, it's winter time and they don't serve hot tea or coffee. You need to warm up your customers! read more

Why go anywhere else you're sinning upon yourself if you do. This place is so good when they go on vacation crime rate goes up in the neighborhood read more

This place is amazing, I've been to all the pizzerias in the surrounding towns and I have to say this place makes the best pizza. But that's not what's amazing here, try the grilled chicken spinach and broccoli in a garlic and oil sauce with penne , it's heaven. The chicken is always great quality, the garlic is fresh and they use the best olive oil. I'm a health nut and this is very important to me. Everything on their menu is of the best quality. I used to go to Hackensack to Brooklyn brick oven for a good slice but this place out does them all. The service is great but the food is amazing and the prices are reasonable. 5 stars all the way. read more

This is my Favorite Pizzeria in Paterson. I've been going here for years. Not only are the people they're friendly and helpful but you never need to order extra cheese. Their sauce to cheese ratio is perfect . The Sicilian pizza, regular pie, chicken caesar salad and antipasto If I had to complain about something it would be they dont deliver. But I'll continue to drive to them its worth it ! read more

From a NYC Girl this pizza is the best I've found In jersey. The females at this establishment seem to be off. The elderly woman charged me for my soda and didn't give it to me. I asked for it and she said she didn't charge me for it. Which she in fact did. Gave me a sigh for wanting what I paid for. Although that experience won't stop me from enjoying their pizza from time to time. Still a great place so far read more

I grew up in paterson .Moved to florida and every time I come back to this place.Still awesome. I think it's the sauce which makes the pizza awesome. read more

The pizza is good, the salads are good, and I tried the shrimp Pena vodka last night and it was delicious! I am never disappointed. I look forward eating here because I know I'm going to enjoy it. Really good service. read more

Ordered: one large pie, 1 order of calamari, 2 lasagnas, 1 penne & vodka with chicken, 1 pasta special ( ziti pasta with chicken, broccoli & spinach). I can say their pasta dishes are good. Their pizza, not so good. Neither was the calamari. Reheated, old & chewy. We waited at least 45 mins for our order, figured they would be fresher. This place seems to be quite popular as it got more crowded as we sat there. read more

Nice family owned restaurant. Been going here for 10+ years. Great pizza! The best tomato sauce by far. People come in and buy just the sauce so, that just goes to show you! Their beef patties with cheese are pretty addictive. Also, their Philly cheesesteak sandwich is good and is a pretty big sandwich for a great price. Definitely a place worth visiting! read more

Great family owned business, great food and service however an inconvenience not to take atm/credit card it is 2018 , not only is it convenient for clients they are in Paterson it's also safer for them i know many businesses in Paterson are concerned about fraud and identity theft however there is risk in every thing and they should do their research on how they are protected, that is how businesses grow , ugh it's just sometimes I want ur delicious pizza and I don't carry cash and opt for something else instead ..... I wonder how many ppl do that on a daily basis ..... your are losing money ppl read more
