    Definitely didn’t live up to my expectations. I ordered ahead for lunch the order was almost 20 minutes later than the expected delivery time. The food was definitely not worth the wait. I ordered the eggplant panini with fries. The fries were cold and not fresh. They tasted like they were thrown back into the grease to reheat them. The eggplant in the sandwich was soggy and bland. I was expecting fresh food. I could tell it has been frozen and thrown in the oven to heat. I was very disappointed in the quality of my meal. On top of that to have had to wait an additional 20 minutes for mediocre & cold food does not make me want to order again.

    Ordered 5 pies from here for a coworkers retirement party. Total was $85 not including delivery tip. They delivered the hot and fresh pizzas ahead of time. The order was correct. Unfortunately they dont offer any company group discounts or had any promotions that i couldve taken advantage of. Their grandma slice is so good.

    Lefty's is my go-to pizzeria near my office. Staff is extremely friendly and inviting to all, and the restaurant itself is just a great place to sit down and have a slice or two. Highly recommend the BBQ chicken, drunken grandma, and chicken vodka pizzas!!

    something isn't right about the taste vs before... no flavor really like the sauce isn't seasoned and it's imitation mozzarella cheese. They should also work on customer service and not ignoring people in the lobby. If you watch them there could be four people in the front and someone at the counter it's like they are avoiding eye contact with you and are looking for something that will make them appear to be busy. Laughable or maybe it's just me they do not want to serve.

    Refered to this place after complaining there were no good places to eat to a friend. Honesty been eating here once a week since my initial visit. This place has set the standard for Italian. I'm going again today, second day in a row. Best sandwich's around. Have almost tried them all. Entrees are equally as good. Can't wait to try the pizza. Grilled Chicken Sandwich 📷

    Best pizza around. Thin crispy. The only pizzeria that doesn't give heart burn. Love the gangster decor.

    A friend recommended to try out this spot and it was every bit of good. We ordered a pizza margarita, an Italian hot dog, a meat lover calzone and a Philly cheesesteak wrap (+++). The food was delicious, the pricing was very good and the attention was excellent. Would definitely recommend.

    Had a few people tell us to check this place out so on the way to a ballgame in the city we figured the perfect time is now! We had no suggestions on what to order but we were in a hurry so we figured just grab a few different pies and munch on that. We went with a pepperoni and a margherita. Since we have been there though, we've been told their Italian entrees and the Grandma Pie is excellent as well. The crust on the pies was solid. Nice thin crust with a bit of a snap and some char on the bottom. Exactly how I like it. The pepperoni was a pretty standard pie but the margherita was different, but quite good. There were large chunks of a high quality tomato on there and they didn't just toss whole leaves of basil on there like a lot of places do. I much prefer this to a normal margherita pie. Typically it's a pain to chew the basil and you get many full bites with no basil at all. Price is pretty much what you'd expect and the food was solid. Cannot complain one bit. I'd definitely go back. Also the bakery next door had some excellent Pistachio Baklava.

    Great family owned restaurant. Very friendly and the place is clean. Everything I've ever had here is delicious. Make sure you visit if you're in the area

    I have visited this location with a friend and also with my spouse on several ocassions today being one of them. The food is always fresh, and taste great. The pizza has a good ratio between dow, sauce and cheese, slightly crunchy just the way i enjoy it. So whether ur having the Chicken or Meatbal parm, saled or chicken quesadillas. Its all good, i def recommend this location, service is good, it's a warm and inviting atmosphere. if u enjoy company, good food and conversation. This is the place!

    Ordered online from a recommendation from a neighbor and OMG can I tell you how FABULOUS the food was!! I got the Eggplant Parmigiano and it is EXACTLY how I like it, not seedy, just enough sauce and LOTS of cheese on top. They forgot the garlic bread but it's fine, one bite of the Eggplant and I was HOOKED!! Oh, and I will be having that again tomorrow because the portions are HUGE!! THIS PLACE GETS A WHOPPING 5 STARS AND I CANT WAIT TO TRY SOME OF THEIR OTHER DISHES! 😋👍❤️❤️

    Classic Jersey. Jump in, get a slice, get back to your life. While you're eating, enjoy the impressive array of photos celebrating all the great Italian-American stars of some of my favorites: The Sopranos, The Godfather, Goodfellas, Casino, etc.

  • 5/5 Christina K. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow!!! Get the original chicken sub!! It literally blew our minds with every bite!! The crispness of the cutlet is married beautifully with the other toppings. I will getting two next time, one for dine in and one for later!! Not to mention, the place is super clean and the staff is wonderful. Go to Lefty’s, you won’t be disappointed!

    This place is excellent. That's really all you need to know. Their pizza is the best in the area. We also regularly get salads with grilled chicken all of which are amazing and filling alt dinner options. Edit 11.14.22- Still 5 stars after 1 year of being a very regular customer. My only complaint is that I cant order when my wife and I have a late night craving... But that's probably a good thing, and I still have much love for this place.

    We ordered garlic knots and sat at the table (when the whole restaurant was empty). They rudely told us to be quite a couple times, mind you we are not ‘loud’. They then asked us to leave. Very hostile environment.. would not recommend. They were upset we ordered just garlic knots… but the whole restaurant was empty. Very rude customer service

    Simply the best! I've been ordering from Leftys for a long time and everything is always on point. 🔥🔥🔥

  • 5/5 Maria Fernanda R. 1 year ago on Google
    Their pizza is spectacular. They use fresh ingredients (not canned as a lot of pizzerias do) and the flavor is AMAZING. Also, the place is very cozy and the workers are very friendly.

    My clients were in the mood for some fast food Italian and ordered from this place. For myself I ordered linguini with marinara and vegetables. I paid via phone with a nice man. I paid around 11:25am and the food didn't come til about 1:05. When it arrived everything looked good. I ate my food when I got in and the pasta wasn't bad. The only vegetables they had in the pasta that I enjoyed was the mushroom. I picked out a lot of the onion and pepper. The flavor was good though. All in all I had an ok experience.
