Grumpy's Sourdough Pizza Co. 522 Saddle River Rd…read more Saddle Brook, NJ 07663 Hot Honey Heaven Grumpy's Triple Threat Multiple people have reached out to me and suggested I explore this locally owned pizzeria located in the heart of Saddle Brook. As I entered the parlor, it is a hole in the wall with minimal seating and no AC unit. Regardless that it wasn't fancy, I still had a very gut instinct the quality of their pies was going to be on the money. When I arrived a weekday afternoon to place my order, the cashier informed me there will be a 40 minute wait. For the fact that the wait is this long indicates there are in demand and their pizza is top quality. I also saw framed plaques along their table counter showing they received positive media recognition from The Record, northjersey.com, and bestofnj.com. Hot Honey Heaven: I was initially skeptical about the appearance of this pie because it looks kind of messy. However, I took a single bite and was immediately hooked. This pie was topped with pepperoni, crispy chicken, and ricotta cheese. Mike's Hot Honey was generously poured over the top. It has a combination of sweet and spiciness. I never anticipated honey would enhance the flavor of the pie; I wish I requested an extra cup! Grumpy's Triple Threat: Named after the restaurant, this pie is prepared with pesto, grandma sauce, and pink tomato sauce. The sprinkled parmigiano reggiano added a nice touch. I especially liked the artistic appearance. The three colors were visually appealing, especially with the swirls of pesto. All pies are prepared with their signature sourdough pizza crust. Each slice had a perfect undercarriage and a firm crunch. Customers have the option to bake the pies may light, medium, or well-done. I chose medium because a majority of the customer base prefers this style. As a bonus, Grumpy's offer complimentary crust upgrades. I opted to add garlic butter brush; the outer crust edge was literally brushed with hot, garlic-infused butter. While it is common to throw away the top portion of the pizza, the upgrade is definitely an incentive to eat the crust. San Marzano tomatoes are the primary ingredient for the sauce. It's not overly sweet and has a light tang. This pizzeria is geared for take out, but there are plenty of benches only minutes away at Saddle River County Park. You can enjoy your pie while admiring the beautiful scenery of the park. The parking lot has limited spaces, but you can easily find a spot on the street. Grumpy's may be a hole in the wall, but the pizza was outstanding. I'm really exuberant that I had a pristine experience exploring sourdough crust for the first time! I was far from "grumpy" after dining here! #grumpys #grumpyssourdoughpizzaco #grumpystriplethreat #hothoneyheaven

I placed an online order while I was at work, and everything exceeded my expectations. My order was…read moreready quickly, right on time, served hot, and all of the ingredients were incredibly fresh. I ordered the Pineapple Express pizza, which included ricotta cheese, jalapeños, pork belly (if I'm not mistaken), ham, and fresh basil on the side. The combination of flavors was absolutely amazing, and it was one of the best specialty pizzas I've had. The customer service was outstanding from start to finish, and I have absolutely no complaints. This was a fantastic experience, and I will definitely be ordering again. They've earned a repeat customer!

Maybe I'd be less pissed off if there was any type of apology or any acknowledgment that they'd messed up, but instead they took their sweet ass time making these sandwiches(literally turkey and provolone and roast beef with provolone and lettuce. Why was this taking 3-5 business days, you ask me? I couldn't tell you.) . Maybe I'll edit this review when I'm less irritated, maybe not. Probably not.

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Solid pizza, not going to be the greatest or the worst, but hits the spot if you're just craving fresh pizza pies. Pizza pies come out super fresh and piping hot. + Individual slices are HUGEEEE, the size of 2 slices. + Inside of the restaurant is cozy and never gets so busy that you can't find a table. + Service is no frills and, if you dine in, they will serve you after you order at the counter. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - On weekend evenings, if you're just seeking an individual slice, the remaining slices might not look all that appetizing. - Parking lot is a bit awkward to get into as it sits right off of busy Farview Avenue. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Restaurant is super small and only has a few tables, but wasn't crowded even on a Friday evening.

I loveeeee chicken cutlet sandwiches in general. I had the American chicken which was good. Fast forward 6 years later I was craving a chicken cutlet sandwich and couldn't find anything closeby. I remembered Ted's and realized that it is now only 10 minutes from me so I tried again. It was mother's day and I ordered ahead. I was grateful that my food was ready upon arrival and it wasn't hectic. I've been struggling to find a good buffalo chicken wrap in the area. I tried Ted's and wow. Amazing. It was a large wrap but I really enjoyed it. What saddens me most about this place is that they close before I get home from work so my opportunities to enjoy it are limited. Their online system is easy to use. I used it both times and it worked great. Both times my food was ready when I arrived. Staff isn't mean but they also aren't chipper lol very straightforward in and out transaction. There is a parking lot for Ted's that is shared with Dunkin Donuts and a few other shops there. I am looking forward to eating here again!

We arrived a little after 9pm. The service of the young server was perfect. He was prompt, polite and attentive to our needs. The food was as good as you can get at a highway diner. We got what we expected and enjoyed it. Desert, however, is another story. D is allergic to anything that contains caffeine. That means no coffee, tea, certain pain medications and NO CHOCOLATE. She asked me to go to the display counter and see what kind of cheesecake there was. There were many different kinds: mango, orange, caramel, banana and more. Unfortunately, this diner's idea of garnishing a desert is with a creme topping loaded with CHOCOLATE STICKS, CHIPS, AND COOKIES! (see attached photo) EVEN THE DESERT LABLED VANILLA CAKE WAS FESTOONED WITH CHOCOLATE HOO-HAH! When I mentioned this to the management, I was told, "Well, we have rice pudding and baklava." No matter how I worded it, he just couldn't seem to comprehend that a good 90+% of his deserts had chocolate which was discriminatory against people who are allergic to chocolate. I even tried to put it in another reality for him. I asked if their baker made anything with peanut or peanut butter. He replied in the affirmative. I asked if they had a special preparation area so that there were safe deserts for a child with a peanut allergy. He didn't seem to understand the premise. So, if you, or your child have ANY food allergies, I strongly suggest that you avoid the Suburban Diner at all costs. We will be doing so in the future.
