    I’ve been here over 3 times and I can definitely say the pizza is good. If somebody called me up and asked where could they get a good slice this Pizzeria would definitely be one of the options.

    This place is the best pizza stop in Passaic county. Their pasta tastes like it's from a gourmet Italian restaurant and I would know bc I worked in one for years. They always remember my family and I & they never mess up my order. I dream of eating there everyday or at least tell how to make my pasta so I don't gotta order it from you guys all the time. I wish they delivered 😩

    This place isnt as good as people are claiming. Obviously they have alot of friends. The only reason this place does well is because its the only Pizzaria in a 3 to 4 family residential area. I like seasoning my pizza with Garlic Salt, Crushed Red Pepper, and DEFINITELY PARMESAN CHEESE!! If you are like most people I know and like doing the same, this place isnt for you.. I asked for Parmesan Cheese after ordering a specialty pizza and was told, "We dont have Parmesan for slices". IT WAS AN ENTIRE PIE!! Definitely will not be going back.... Dont waste your time unless you live in the area and it's a matter of convenience not quality.

    This pizzeria is so overrated. People from Paterson swear on this place as the best pizzeria ever. The pizza is not good at all, the slices are small and taste like cardboard. The pizza has no flavor what so ever. Also, I asked for the largest pie they have and it really looked like a small or medium pie. I asked cashier if that was the largest pie they have after they gave it to me and she said yes. To be honest people swear on this pizza because it's the closest nearby in the neighborhood. If I can give them a zero or a negative zero I would.

    I love the pizza!! Nice people, good food. If there's a soccer game you can enjoy watching the game while you eat a good pizza.

  • 3/5 Brin K. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm being generous with a 3. The LAST order there was under cooked mess and they didn't care to make it right. Their pizza and is far from the best in the area. The best pizza in Paterson doesn't even come from a pizzeria, It comes from Patsy's Tavern which does have take out and great dinners

  • 5/5 DEAN H. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 BR B. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been coming to this place since I was 8 yrs old. It's been the same great taste and consistency forever. 😊😋

  • 4/5 Leesanna M. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this pizzeria. The sauce on the pizza is one of a kind.

  • 1/5 Ikee K. 1 year ago on Google
    Shrimp and chicken Alfredo. Scraps of burnt chicken pieces that made the whole dish tasted burnt char. Shrimp overcooked and rubbery. Pasta undercooked. Alfredo sauce watery with no flavor at all. Taste like a frozen TV dinner but TV dinner is edible. Overall a waste of money. Couldn’t get pass the burnt chicken chips and watery tasteless sauce and chewy little shrimp

    I love their pizza. It's a big old pie for like $12-15 depending on what you put on it. They also have pasta dishes and hot sandwiches. Such a busy little place too. People in that area live that place. They are friendly and know customers by name.

  • 5/5 fuzzup123 1 year ago on Google

  • 1/5 Asil S. 1 year ago on Google
    No wonder they where named the worst Pizzeria restaurant. I asked for a tuna sub with Lettuce, tomato, onion oil and vinegar. I got barely anything down to the mayo. Never again!

    Me and my family are great friends With the owners They are so sweet and nice The food is great My favs Is the Pasta special , so great It comes with veggies and some chicken ( grilled ) Also THERE SODA IS ALWAYS SO GOOD ?!?! LIKES ITS BRAND NEW BUT OVERALL A 5/5 PLACE DEFFF GO TRY IT OUT :) Also one thing that bugs me is the ( Take out service ) Don't get me wrong everyone makes mistakes with orders But me and my family mostly do Take out and the orders are always like " someone didn't get this or that's missing " But it would be best to check if everything's are in the bags !!

    Officially my new favorite pizzeria. Friendly service and delicious pizza. Sauce is amazing. I'm mad at myself for not having gone sooner. The other nearby pizzeria is overrated.
