    Pepperoni Pizza
    Jimmie P.

    I in the area and had a taste for pizza, why not. This place stood out. Rolled in with a large group. The staff was cool, pulling tables together so everyone could break bead. Now let's get to business, the food. To kick things off, wings (sweet chili and hot honey), Garlic knots and Calamari. The wings sweet chili for the win. The pizza both Meat lovers and Pepperoni were both amazing, full of flavors. The meat lovers was my favorite. Everyone was starving and ready to eat, but you can't rush GREAT food so I won't complain about the wait time. Overall it's a good spot and I would come back.

    We wanted to try a new pizza spot. Wahizza, from its original from Washington Heights, New York. It is a Dominican - Italian inspired food. We ordered the Margherita pizza and the Hawaiian pizza. Both personal pies. For our appetizer, Fried Calamari was our appetizer. We ordered the Orange soda from the Restaurant too. Fried Calamari, came with a sweet, chili sauce and marinara sauce. The calamari didn't taste as fresh - We were wondering could this be frozen before preparation? I love Margherita pizza. It was the first time I had pizza with sesame seeds on the crust. Sorta different, not sure how I feel about it. The pizza was too oily, more basil could be added, the sauce was not as strong as compareable as to other Margherita pizza. We tried this place, not enough to come back for another time. Some menu items are on a bit expensive. Wahizza is your local neighborhood place, comfy and clean. Service was attentive, parking available around Ridgefield park, all payments accepted.

    Chicken chimni pizza

    It wasn't until after we dined here that my husband and I learned that Wahizza Pizza had its shining moment in the social media spotlight for their unconventional offerings. Personally, I'm happy I was ignorant to the hype because I think it would have left me disappointed. Wahizza prides itself on fusion pies that incorporate ingredients and flavors familiar to a Dominican palate. Since we were clearly newbies, we asked for recommendations at the counter and ended up ordering the classic Wahizza pizza, which comes topped with chicken, cabbage, tomatoes, cilantro, corn, onions, and their chimi-sauce, which seemed to be some sort of a mayo-based sauce. See what I mean about unconventional? Never would I have thought to put cabbage and cilantro atop a pizza pie, but it was delicious. We loved the combination of flavors and felt decently light after polishing off an entire pie, maybe because we hadn't consumed the usual bread-sauce-cheese trio that we would've had at another pizzeria. My slight misgiving was in calling this a pizza. As a native Northeasterner, I have stereotypically strong opinions on what makes pizza good, and if I were craving a true blue pizza meal, I'm not sure the chimni pizza would've quite hit the spot. That said, the more traditional pies are offered here, and I'm looking forward to giving them a try in the future. Inside, the restaurant is homey and comfortable. Orders are placed at the counters, but we were pleasantly surprised to find that servers will regularly swing by your table to check in on you and ask if you need anything.

    Chimi Pizza

    Some of the best pizza I've ever had. The dough was perfect and fresh toppings. Highly recommend.

    Chimi Pizza was delicious!
    Edward K.

    Just checked out Wahizza with a couple of friends. Ordered eight wings, three pizzas, and three desserts and it was the perfect amount of food. We received excellent recommendations from the friendly and helpful waitress. The restaurant was clean and modern, with cool decor. The chimi and oxtail pies were our favorites but the third was good as well. The wings were nice and crispy and they provided two different dipping sauces. The desserts were tasty. Guava cheesecake was our favorite.

    We were looking for a place to eat in the area and stumbled upon Wahizza. The staff here and management are extremely friendly and welcoming! We wanted a pizza to share and it was absolutely delicious! I can't wait to come back to try out the other pies.

    When I lived in Washington Heights, I absolutely love getting the sandwiches from the Chimi trucks, now all this pizza has ground beef instead of shredded chicken it was just as good tasted like home to me! But they have so many gems there besides that yummy pizza you also have to try the oxtail wish the owner himself makes every single day. Oh my gosh, so tender so delicious. The server is there a super friendly, and let you know the pizzas going to take a few minutes to make, but came out very quickly nonetheless! All the decor is super adorable the feels of a pizza shop with a Dominican flare, you guys have to check it out!

    Love the specialty pizzas they tasteGREAT. I took a leap, and I am very scared to taste oxtail because I feel like it's a very sensitive thing that not everyone should be making however they nailed it.. Took everything to go.

    Margarita Pizza
    Shelby A.

    Came to Wahizza originally for the Yelp Elite event and was beyond impressed that I had to come back! No food is kept out like most pizza places. Everything is made fresh and to order and wow it makes such a difference. Their pizza is a nice thinner crust. I am obsessed with their margarita pie and garlic knots. So obsessed that I refuse to share my margarita and always order my own! So much flavor and freshness. The garlic knots are the perfect amount of crisp. They just hold in the heat so wait a little before digging in! Service is friendly and efficient. Unless you catch them at a busy time but even then I've never waited more than 20 minutes for my food.

    Chimi Pizza & Oxtail Pizza
    Norberto F.

    This is one of the best pizza place I have tried with all honesty. Visited here with the family as we noticed this spot is super trendy in social media. I have to say that the pizza here is A++. What an amazing flavors and presentation. The owner "junior" was extra attentive. The spot is small and gets crowed really quickly, was this is more than a pizza spot but an experience. Definitely family friendly. These guys take good pride on their craft. If you want to try pizza but with a Dominican twist, you must come here. The chimi pizza live up to its hype. Keep up the great work guys.

    First time trying this place and they have great vegan options, got the veggie one this time looking forward to try the chimi, staff were friendly and they had great eat in place very modern and welcoming interior

    Salvatore V.

    I came with some friends last night. We had been seeing plenty of posts about this place. We were excited to try it out. Believe me when I say we were not disappointed! Food was flavorful. The Chimi pizza still has my mouth watering for more! Service was great. The owner was present when we dined in and he was very friendly and thanked us for stopping in. Look forward to checking out the other locations. Please check out my photos so you can try these pizzas

We walked over and were delighted to see the enomatic wine dispensers, with lots of wine in them. We started doing our own little wine tasting and started to like the wines we were tasting. Given that this was my son's 21st birthday and now legal to drink, I called him up and told him to finish his arcade experience. Since he doesn't really like drinking (I've tried to educate him at home at times) the tasting would be a good entry into wine. We had him drink a sweet moscato which we all liked. This is now his favorite wine . Not bad for a first timer. Elvis, I think he was the owner, heard our celebration and offered a bottle of Prosecco for the group. We all enjoyed a good toast and continued to go down the rows of wines. I love tasting flights of food and drinks so this place really was heaven to me. If you're thinking of hanging out and not sure of what wine to drink, definitely check out this place. You won't be disappointed.

    So, the comfort that I didn't quite find at my hotel? I found it here -- at an Italian restaurant…read more I wasn't so much in the mood for Italian food as I was for patio/al fresco dining and something delicious to drink. The food was an afterthought (initially). At Aumm Aumm, it (the food) became the main story. My rideshare dropped me off and I thought, 'This will do.' A large patio in the late spring sun was just what I needed. I walked in and said I was a party of one and I wanted to eat outside. Done. Soon, a very chatty and kind waiter was taking good care of me and offering a glass bottle of still water.* As I am wont to do, I ate in waves: appetizer and main course (and, if I have the room/interest, dessert). A drink and a solid. A began my meal with the burrata. Rarely can you go wrong with a ball of cheese but this was a silky, milky sphere of mozzarella, served with oranges, toasted walnuts & topped with truffle honey. Truffle honey. I tried to pair every bite with cheese, citrus, nut, and honey and each time I was successful, my mouth sang. To accompany my chews, my waiter suggested Rancoli Vermentino, a dry white with a crisp finish and enough adjacency to the fruit components of the burrata to make it make sense. Lovely. I forgot that I was in Jersey. For my main, I had a GF version of the pennoni alla genovese napoletana - slow-cooked caramelized onions & diced beef pasta. Simple but incredibly flavorful (which, I've learned, is what Italian food is all about). The plate was large and I could smell it before I saw it (a very good thing). To help bring the dish to life, my waiter suggested a warm red blend (earthy, cherry/berry forward). He was correct on the type of wine but I was a bit disappointed in the price point. Believe me, I know the ins and outs of the restaurant biz, but this glass should have been (at least) a couple of dollars cheaper (knowing what I could get a bottle for). This slight faux pas lessened my rating to a 4. Not the end of the world. Just know what you're paying for before committing. I was pleasantly full so I passed on dessert/coffee. Th NJ sales tax was less than I was used to but the dreaded credit card charge fee made an appearance. I probably spent more money on dinner than I would at present but I don't regret the experience. I slept very well that night. *There was a charge. Know before you go.

Yup, that's right, I told her what I liked and trusted her to pick my three dishes. And listen, when your name is on the menu for crafting a cocktail, I'm going to trust you to pick my meal too! Now for the food: the grilled octopus was amazing. Great flavor, perfect texture, and a really nice balance with the lentils. The shishito peppers were delicious, and the sauce that came with them added the perfect pop of flavor. The beet salad, however, was a little underwhelming. Unfortunately, it didn't have much flavor, so that one left me a bit disappointed. And then there was dessert. Oh man! Hailey did it again. She brought out the sweet corn cheesecake. Sounds weird, I know, but I had to try it. And yes, it definitely had sweet corn! It was a little too weird for my taste buds, but I'm glad I tried it.... Then came the Madeleines. Bite-sized, warm, and absolutely delicious. Fair warning: if you don't tell them to take the bowl away, you WILL eat the entire thing. Man oh man...so good!!!

Kudos to Hailey for the great service and for knowing exactly what to recommend! She definitely made my night.
