This is my favorite local BYOB! Excellent food with very healthy portions, cool vibe atmosphere, great service, and a very nice owner. If you go at peak hours, expect a bit of noise....just adds to the atmosphere. In the nice weather, you can eat outside under the pergola. A must try!! read more

Waiter had to be reminded 2-3 times for anything. Pizza was luke warm not hot. Mixed up my wife's order and she had to wait 20 mins for her food. First said they would take 10% off Bill then said they can't do anything. Won't be back. read more

Too small to eat In and by the time you take out it's soggy. Food was okay but nothing special. Service was curt because they are too busy to be nice...or so it seemed read more

Second time here, pizza is excellent (although mine wasn't very hot). But like last time, service is terrible. I would give 1 star or less for service. Just two of us this time tucked back in by the wall. We couldn't get water refills, no bread brought to our table (all tables around had a basket), wanted cracked pepper, couldn't get attention of any server and gave up. Then when we had to leave I absolutely could not get the servers attention to get the check. I swear they avoid you when they are busy and don't want to turn the table over. I got up to put my jacket on and he finally had to connect with us. It still took forever to get out of there. Seems like an easy fix by adding another server, and maybe they would all have more positive energy? read more

First time here last week. Appy and a margherita pizza. Too much balsamic on beans and asparagus, most of which were stalks. The pizza was good but scarce on the basil. I will try it again one more time. read more

Similar to other reviews, while the food was okay, the price was very high for what we got. We ordered delivery and all four containers had been placed sideways into two bags, which were left on our porch with the bags completely open. All the sauces had of course drained out into the bag. When I called to inquire, spoke to two people, including one who identified as the owner's daughter. Neither offered anything near an apology for the experience. Both kept insisting the bags were carefully packed and the edges securely closed and delivered right side up, and that the driver must have turned all the food containers on their sides! No food is good enough to be treated so incredibly rudely. read more

Really disappointed with this place. $15 for a burnt personal pizza with hardly any toppings? No thanks. Not to mention I heard the owner/manager talking to the waiters about up-selling the customers into buying personal pizzas and not sharing. The place is nice inside, but not the worth the $. read more

Believe it or not, there are people who actually know what and how the taste, texture and making of these "wood" fired pizzas are supposed to be. I am one and I certify myself as such based on my culinary knowledge, traveling to Italy/Europe and my many years spent here doing "pizza crawls" throughout Brooklyn, NYC and the boros, to most of the places known for their great pizzas. I've done the so called "best" of pizza in regular, brick oven, coal oven, wood fired, all that runs the good to great pizza gamut. I can tell you each type is similar in some of characteristics to the end result. Epic fail to any pizza making and pizza maker, is when these places stick a pizza inside of an oven that is just NOT HOT ENOUGH degree wise, and there is going to be a true quality and texture issue if not cooked at the right temperatures from start to finish. Much of it is the same concept of placing food into a fryer of oil that is not hot enough temperature wise, the end results are immediately evident in appearance and taste and texture. In pizza, a thin crust (which all of these pizza styles are) should NEVER be soft and doughy which will produce a lacking, floppy pizza when you pick up your slice. This is the FIRST and clear indication of temperature in the oven issue. Undercooked cheese, not fully melted, is the second indication. After that, you can judge ingredient tastes of the sauce, typically crushed plum tomatoes are used, then varies, where a sauce tastes better than another, i.e. one sweeter, one not, one seasoned, one bland, and is since many do not add any seasoning to a sauce to excite it, which can be as simple as a dash of salt, pepper and garlic powder. San Marzano plum tomatoes (sauce) are the norm for these pizzas and if not, you're getting shortchanged as well. This place charges $12 for a 12 inch pie, well, they'd better be using those. First visit and very disappointed by it and will never return as a result. Lost a new customer you could've gained. This place simply failed on all points and I'll predict they won't be in business for that long, in that location, paying that rent, for that space, just for people who enjoy the allure of dining outdoors with BYOB. That can't make the food taste better in my opinion, or maybe a bottle of wine helps you to think it is. So with the pizza ratings both my friend and I give based on our visit there (and how I've read many other reviews stating their entrees were not good and over priced) I think this place is very deficient in their approach to pizza making and/or it is being done and run that way. I will say I didn't see any presence of a person working there over 25 yrs old, where I do assume a restaurant manager would be not such a very young guy, who is all we saw working there during our visit. Who runs the place I wondered? Wait staff were missing for periods of time and the place isn't that big, nor was it that busy. I will say when food and (service) is lackluster consistently, as is here, there will be soon down the road issues. Reading other reviews of this new place, the service was also a featured complaint, besides the pizza and food quality and price point for it. Not hard to see the trend downwards has already started and continues to head down fast. Note that the place only opened earlier in 2015. They need a new approach to things there and train your staff to care and show it and make a pizza right. They need to have someone truly experienced in it to come in and show how to make the proper" wood fired pizza and one in an oven that is truly 900 degrees!! When we left, we noted the fire inside the oven was SO small where we laughed and said that could in no way even be a 900 degree fire! Save your time and money. I can honestly say, compared to this place, I get better and (crispy) pizza from my local pizzeria for much less money and a much bigger pie. Wow. read more

We were so looking forward to trying this restaurant since we heard so many good things. We went for the first time this evening and we quite disappointed. Our appetizer (Mozzarella In Carrozza) was not cooked through. When we said something the waiter looked at us and walked away. There was no apology and it appeared he told the owner and he didn't even come over to our table. Our entree's were tasty, but very over priced and the portions were far from generous considering the price. The service was average and the visual atmosphere was very pleasant. Since we live in Montville we were hoping for a new place to go regularly, this will not be it. read more

We went here the first week it opened. We were excites to try this new local restaurant. There were 5 of us and we went for lunch. There was no other table when we went in (one or two other tables showed up). We ordered 2 of the pizzas, one was pepperoni and the other was their funghi pizza. They were ok.. nothing special and for being there at lunch they were definitely over-priced. Very small for how much they cost. We also ordered the Ceasar salad app. And that was very good. Also, they allegedly have gluten free pizza (that was not available when we went but it was on the menu). The major issue that I have with this is, if you truly cannot have gluten do not order this pizza. They cook it in the same brick oven as the others. So there is co-mingling. We ordered a few other items. But nothing that was a major WOW...and for being that it was lunch it cost us over $100 (with tip)...I know people think that just because this is Towaco, prices should be higher...but that's insane! That was the first and only time we will go there. Not impressed! read more

Friendly Staff. Dylan was a great server ,He was always making sure everything was ok. Delicious meatballs. Excellent pizza.

I've been here a few times now, and very happy to have proper wood oven pizza close by in Montville. The pizza here tasty and is pretty close to authentic Neapolitan style. This means a few things: 1. They are personal size. 2. They are well done and will have some blackened char spots on them. This is part of what makes them tasty. 3. They use real mozzarella cheese and not the industrial grated cheese that comes in 50 pound bags. If you are going in expecting something similar to the typical NJ pizzeria, or something from a nationwide chain (shame on you), you might be disappointed. This is a step up and more like a nice meal. I still get pizza from the local takeout when I want something quick and cheap on a Friday after work, but I go here when I want something better. I've only really had the pizza so I can't comment on the entrees. I'm a bit of a purist so I only get the margherita, but I've tasted a few others and they were good. I did have a bread pudding for dessert the other day which was fantastic. The only grumble I have is that when they first opened they would sprinkle the pizza with a little bit of grainy sea salt which was really tasty. This seems to have stopped. read more

Have been here at least once a week since this place has opened. The owner and wait staff recognize us and make us feel welcome every time. This is not your typical pizza joint. You can't order by the slice, but you won't be disappointed by their gourmet pies. It's a BYO and a desperate need for this town that does not have quality restaurants. This restaurant offers out door dining as well. Their food is consistently good. Some plates are excellent. This is a nice place for dinner. The food is not cheap, but you are paying for good ingredients and creative food combinations as well and traditional foods. read more

Such a great family spot! The food was quick to come out and tasted great. Only thing better than the food was the service. Our waiter Eric was attentive and had excellent recommendations. We will definitely be back. read more

When we first noticed that a pizza place was coming to Towaco we were excited. Having lived there since 1970 and not having a local pizzeria was something new to the area! The first day it opened we stopped to order a pizza. To our surprise there pizza is 12" personal pizza's. Since we are big eaters I knew 1 would not be enough. We ordered a Margherita with chicken and a New Yorker. Both were good but we were disappointed with the toppings. Love the concept of the wood fired pizza but we are traditional pizza eaters. Big pie in a big white box! Plus we thought thirty something dollars for 2 pizza's was very pricey! The place is geared to attract the so called "yuppy" folk of Towaco and not the old timers that have live in the area for a long time. read more

Quaint restaurant with a nice view of the Towaco train station. Food was terrific. I had rigatoni bolognese, which was great. And it was a huge portion. Others in my party had salmon and chicken parm. Everyone enjoyed their food. The servers were very nice and they never rushed us. Nice outside eating area also. Plan to return. read more

I've been dining here for years now and I've never been disappointed. Each time I order something different, rotating between pizzas and entrees, and whatever I order becomes my new favorite menu item. It's just all delicious. The service has also always been positive for me. The servers are friendly and they make an effort to have a conversation with you instead of simply taking the orders, the food comes out quickly, and any modification I've requested has been correct. Even living much further away now, I still go out of my way to eat there as often as I can! read more

The service here is poor and the server(s) are extremely unattentive. Also it took 45 minutes for three pasta dishes to come out when the resteraunt was not busy, I can't imagine it on an actual busy night. The food is okay but does does not own up to the standards it claims to be; overall awful experience. read more

The owner better take a lesson in customer service or this restaurant will fail. Great food, horrible owner. Yelled at wait staff in front of us, rude, and unwelcoming. read more

I recently stopped in for a quick meal and wow was I impressed. The food came out quick, hot and was absolutely fantastic. I've had other really great Neapolitan like pizza before but this place is hands down the best I've had thus far. You can really tell they're serious about their emphasis on fresh natural ingredients. It should be obvious from the upscale atmosphere in the restaurant that the food your getting will be equally upscale in both quality and taste. The service was great as well. The staff was friendly, attentive and quick. Upscale and quick normally don't go hand in hand but 900 and the staff really nail this concept down. Bravo. I'll be coming back as often as I can and certainly recommending the place. read more

First time there. Excellent caprese salad. Very good fried calamari, excellent marinara sauce. The pizza is the real deal. They use 00 Caputo flour making such a tender light and delicious crust. Margherita with mozzarella di buffala was outstanding, only wish there was a little more basil on the pie, but outstanding nonetheless. The New Yorker pizza was absolutely delicious and scrumptious. The server was very friendly and attentive, and the owner very personable. The only changes I would recommend is for the calamari to be dusted instead of breaded. I will be back again and I can't wait to enjoy eating outside on their patio. Bravo read more

Very good pizza, with top notch ingredients. The staff was very nice and receptive to suggestions the only fault we found is that the crust needed another minute which they took to heart and were very appreciative of the suggestion. This place is new and they aim to please. The mozzarella is fresh mozzarella and the sauce is their own. The peppers and soppresetta were really fresh and top notch. All in all I will be glad to come back. Ps it is BYOB read more

Got two pies takeout. They were small for the price and were skimpy on the toppings. There are local options.

Stopped in for a quick bite and it was great . Love the wood stoves !!

Went with another person, we byob so i can't comment on the drinks or prices. I did ask for ice and it was clean and cold, if that helps. Ordered the calamari, which I thought had the right amount of crispness. We also shared the house salad. This was delicious. Kinda wished I hadn't shared it. We went with the pizza with fried eggplant. I am not a fan of eggplant but this tasted good. I like brick oven pizza so this was right down my alley. The service was great. The waiter came over a few times and was responsive to our needs. My only issue was that we ate outside, which does have a nice atmosphere and there is some nice music playing. My issue was there were bugs, that like to bite, they didn't go after our food, they went after our legs. My date had several welts on her legs and I did as well. They didn't show up until the pizza came out so thankfully we weren't too taken back. I'm not sure how management could fix that since sometimes things happen like this is outside eating venues. read more

I live in town and just checked this place out. Great outdoor seating interesting menu but tonight the wait staff seemed clueless and our salads and thin crust pizza had to be begged for. read more

This place is great, authentic pizza and the service is excellent even when they are busy. We tried the Fried Calamari, Funghi and Margarita Pizza, they were all done to perfection. We will definitely return. Keep up the good work 900.degrees!!! read more

Went with my wife and 2.5 year old daughter. Tried two pies: broccoli rabe and margherita. Being originally from the east coast I love broccoli rabe, and living on the west coast I never get to eat it. I saw the pie on the menu and that was the reason we tried the restaurant. What a disappointment. The broccoli rabe pizza was flavorless. The broccoli rabe tasted like nothing, the sausage tasted like nothing, and combined on the ricotta the whole pizza tasted like nothing. Surprising the margherita was quite tasty. Essentially I ordered it as the safest bet for my daughter. She didn't like it, but she doesn't like anything, but I did. The sauce had good flavor and the cheese was quality. Good thing for simple! read more

Great specialty pizzas, appetizers, and sandwiches. Never disappointed when we go here. Summertime is the best because you can sit outside at their patio which is quaint. read more

Wonderful environment, great food and the owner John is royal to his customers. We usually get fried calamari to start, which is always light and crispy. Then for our main dishes we get two pizzas: the Parma & Margarita; Seriously some of the best pizza we've ever had. To top it all of, we get the Cannoli pizza for dessert! You guys need to try this place!! read more

Greaaaaaat pizza. All is made fresh and there are so many different pizzas to choose from. Trust me if you are into fresh creative pizzas come here. Also, the pasta was amazing as well. Pasta is made in the restaurant and does not use packaged pasta. Great experience over all! read more

1.5 stars at best. Tried three times out of desperation and convenience. Pizza is tasteless and dry. Toppings are average. Special dishes taste generic. Prices are high. Seating is cramped. BYOB. But, they draw a crowd. Location, location. location. See for yourself. read more

Despite an intense toothache I could not get over how great the "Salsiccia" was. I've lived here several months and regret waiting so long to try this place out. Great service and a very welcome environment. read more

If I didn't love this place before I certainly do now! I recently started a gluten feee diet and was so sad that I would not be able to frequent one of my favorite places. 900 degrees to the rescue! They have gluten free pizza dough!!!! I was ecstatic to find this out but even more excited when I went tonight and tried it out and it was delicious! Thank you for making it possible to continue enjoying your delicious food! read more

BURNT - After seated it took a long time to get the pizza and when we did the pizza was very burnt, when I told the waiter he didn't seem to care. It was so bad my very hungry kids couldn't eat it. They still charged us $15 each for these 2 very small pizza. Everyone was upset, I will never go back. Great idea but no quality control or care. read more

Pizza was yummy. The restaurant was REALLY loud. There was loud music blasting over head. Our dinner conversation was mostly, "What?", "Huh?" , "Pardon me?" Wheelchair access is inconveniently located in the rear and up an elevator. They serve unique wood oven pizza and more. read more

I really enjoyed the pizza and the service was great. Would definitely recommend it.

Great place. There's tons of brick oven pizza places around now but this one stood out. We got burrata for an appetizer and it was delicious! Shared a 900 degree pizza (spicy and amazing) and also a short rib pie with mozzarella and asiago which was phenomenal. Ended with a Nutella pie with marshmallows!!! Great service. Everyone we went with (all 8 of us) loved their food. Would go back again for sure. read more

Friendly, great homemade pasta, very good artisanal style pizza. Really happy this place came to town and always a stop in when I come home. read more
