I've eaten the delicious gourmet pizza here a few times. My friends live down the road and frequent this place. Frankly, the pizza is amazing. The toppings sound like combos that wouldn't work well together, but it's simply the opposite. They taste great! However, we recently had a bad experience with the customer relations of this place and it's put a bad taste in our mouths. This past weekend evening, the wait was a hour (they didn't take reservations). We put our name on the list and asked if we could be called when the table was ready. There's zero space for waiting for your table, so waiting at the house down the street made more sense. They agreed and said yes they'd call us. After 90 minutes, we called to check on the table and they told us sorry but they aren't honoring that anymore because it's first come first serve. We asked them to clarify since they literally told us they'd call us. The girl on the phone just said "I'm aware of that but my boss said we aren't doing that anymore." They never bothered to tell us otherwise though. Bad business practice! We took our business elsewhere. read more

The food is ok. Nothing to write home about. And definitely not worth the price. The part of the meal that proved I will probably never come back is the service. I came with my two girls. We ordered apps and entrees. We were completely ignored. Another table came in afterwards, and knew the owner. They were fawned over. Yeah I'm sure it happens all the time, but try not to be so obvious. The waiter had to walk past our table to get to them for goodness sake! I'm still sitting in the restaurant. No one came to see how we were after plopping the food on the table. We have been waiting for 25 minutes and no one stopped by... The other table? Been catered to twice! I guess you need to know the owner to get decent service. read more

I've dined at this restaurant 6 times in the past 12 months. It's located in my hometown and I do my very best to support local small business. That's why I have made 6 attempts here. If I based my first experience on future visits, there would not have been 5 more tries. Here's my opinion of 900 degrees. Food- it's good. Tried the pizza, salads, salmon, rice balls, cappuccino and a few other dishes. All were very good and a fair value for the money. Service- needs improvement - Mr. Owner, here is where you need to turn your focus. If the kitchen is off one night, I can deal with it, that happens sometimes.... But consistently poor service is unacceptable. My first experience in your restaurant was horrible and uncomfortable. I felt like an outsider to your club. The server had no idea what he was doing, it was obvious that he was not trained or even showed interest in the job he was doing or us as a customer. As we were leaving you happened to be standing next to me and asked how was everything. My response was it could be better. Your response was "Was it the service", and I said yes. You kind of shrugged and that was that. After that experience, I waited 5 months to return to see if anything had improved. Again, I'm trying to support the local independent. My follow up visits were still a bit challenging with respect to service. Finally the last visit, last weekend, was better. I wish I could remember the servers name so I could call ahead to see if he is working. He did a great job, however, the other servers were still terrible. I don't know the history of his restaurant. But it appears by the lack of professionalism and clumsy unprofessional service by both the owner and waitstaff that this must be their first rodeo. I really want this restaurant to survive. So my suggestion is to go to the outside and either hire a consultant or hire professional waitstaff, or both! So, the food and value is good. If you're not hyper focused on service, then you should give this place a try. I'll give it another try in 2 months. read more

Good food, rude staff/owner. Was told over the phone they didn't take reservations, only to find out when we got there they did and were booked solid. Take your $ elsewhere. read more

I honestly wanted this place to be a great new neighborhood gem, but it's far from it. In the beginning the place was ok... Pricey but the pizza was cooked perfectly. The buffalo pie was awesome!! Cooked and mastered to perfection. Now they just destroyed the whole concept of a 900 degree oven. Anyone with knowledge about this oven knows that the pizza only cooks for a few minutes and the crust is supposed to be blistering and bubbled with some charring. Sad to say, but the pizza at a local pizzeria tastes better. Want REAL authentic fire/coal oven pizza!? Then try Coney Island Pizzeria in Riverdale. Much cheaper and tastes like the real deal. Small pies but cooked the right way. It's sad because this town has NO good restaurants. read more

Colombo’s 900 Degrees Pizza - This is what the pizza is supposed to look like - Pizza Near Me - Towaco, New Jersey

My husband and I were trying to familiarize ourselves with the Montville / Towaco area. So we went to Yelp and found 900 Degrees. We went in for dinner on a Saturday night. They offered us a table in the dining room, then we noticed the window and that they offered outside seating. We asked to sit outside instead. The outdoor seating area is plentiful and lovely. The restaurant is BYOB, so we brought a bottle of wine which the waiter opened and poured for us. There are so many options listed on the menu that it was hard to choose. There were four of us, so we decided to split one appetizer and two pizzas. We started with the Baked Meatballs over Ricotta. The dish contained 3 large meatballs which were delicious. I highly recommend this hot appetizer. For pizza, we ordered the Margherita and Pesto pies. They were cooked to perfection. Both had wonderful flavor and crispy crust, but the Pesto Pizza really stood out for me. This was the perfect amount of food for the 4 of us. We figured if we needed more we'd order it afterwards. I would have loved to try the Nutella Pizza, but I was stuffed. Overall, the food was great, but the service was a bit lacking. Our waiter forgot which pizzas we ordered and came to ask us our order again, so I think that delayed the food a bit. Plus they only had one waiter for the whole outdoor area and I think he was a bit overwhelmed. If the service were to improve, this restaurant has the potential to be 5 stars. read more

I have never had a pizza so bad. In all honesty i got 2 pizza's and they both tasted like there was nothing to it. The portion of cheese and sauce was off and super skimpy. Ive rather of mad pasta w butter for 2$ rather than 29$ for 2 12inch pies. Disappointed i just ate plain pizza dough w no flavor. read more

My husband came home with 2 pies. The crust was not done; it was inedible. I can eat pizza for every meal, however I could not muster the courage to attempt to finish one slice of this margarita pizza. For what it's worth, my husband didn't think it was terrible. I gave him my slice. If you enjoy watching your husband eat while you starve, this may just be your hidden gem. read more

Just dined here with our friends. As this was our first visit, we used a Restaurant.com credit. Overall, the decor and wait staff were very pleasant and attentive. We found the food to be on the expensive side. One specialty pizza and three entrees with three desserts was nearly $100. I found that expensive for overall simple foods. I will note that hot foods should be served on warm/ hot plates. My wife ordered a dish made with a cream sauce. The sauce got cold very fast since the plates were cold. So the meal becomes unpleasant quickly. The kitchen needs to work on their timing and include the pizza guys. I received my pizza first, then about 8 mins later two entrees came out, then a few mins later, the final entree arrived. This was at 530pm on a Sunday and it wasn't busy at all. So if you're OK with waiting for everyone to get their foods at different times, then this is the place for you. Our group agreed that we won't be returning. read more

All of those who complain about the pizza prices should go to Joe's Pizza. If you can't appreciate the difference in quality, you shouldn't spend the money. For the rest of us, it is worth it to have the best wood fired pizza in the area. They make a very good rigatoni bolognese too! If you have room, try the Nutella pizza for dessert. You won't be disappointed. read more

This is a convenient and tasty place for take out. Yes, it's a little more pricey than the average pizza place but, your pie is made with fresh gourmet ingredients and is not sopped in oil. They are usually very friendly and they stayed open late one night when we ordered take out right at closing time. We've had over twenty pies since they opened and we continue to go back. The food is above average and if you don't like something, they are more than happy to accommodate the customer. Order the Salciccia pie and you'll be happy to pay a bit more for the quality ingredients they use. read more

If you like fresh, homemade food- this is your new favorite restaurant. Great food! BOYB. Beautiful space. They have just finished doing a soft open and the place is cranking! Worth the wait. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Great food!! Awesome environment. Food always good. Great for big groups and BYOB.. which is always great. Employees are friendly and fun. I of course recommend their pizza, 900 degree oven does the trick ;) read more

Pretty bad. Service was extremely slow. The wait staff was mostly MIA during the entire time. Waited over 90 minutes to get less than average pizza that was barely luke warm. Won't be back. Much better places to go to. read more

I did enjoy the food I got there yesterday but the wait for everything was so long. I am glad we were just hanging out and not in a rush to go anywhere. It was very crowded so I will blame it on that. the waitors didn't circulate enough around the resturant in my opinion. With the waiting long, I will specify and say that it took a while to place our order with the waitor then a long time between taking the order and recieving the food. at least my dish was good. read more

Second time at 900 degrees. First time was right after it opened and it was not good. This time was also poor. Soup was cold, calamari undercooked, eggplant cold...... The service was good, server was attentive but didn't ask if all was ok. Will not go back, even though it is only a few hundred feet away from home.... read more

Really wonderful dinner. So much better than when we went a couple of months ago. The Calamari was perfect - really delicious. My husband loved the mussels - they are spicy (a little too spicy for me, but if you like hot, they are the way to go.) Meatballs were really good and my little one practically inhaled then. The pizza was fantastic- fungi was delish and the 900 degrees really good. Service was extremely attentive and ambience was nice, but relaxed. Nutella pizza great and the bread pudding, too. Gelato, not so much. read more

Been here twice in like 2 weeks. The owner or manager , whoever is at the front is super friendly and helpful and accommodating , the family got a bunch of stuff the calamari is really good . I got the same pizza twice the New Yorker it's called , I'd love to try more of the menu but that pizza is just too good read more

Came here a while ago and thought it was great. Ordered two pizzas last night which cost a whopping $40 and they were terrible! Really disappointed. Didn't appreciate the attitude my fiancé got when he picked them up either. read more

Best pizza I've had in a very long time! Delicious food, efficient and super pleasant staff and very clean place. Definitely a must if you're in the area. The Buffalo Chicken pizza is to die for! read more

So so yummy! The family who owns the business is super sweet as well. Highly recommend if you're in the area!!

Eh. Food is good, but overpriced, and service is just...ok. I'll stick to the local pizza places. read more

Came here and I must say I am impressed!!!!!!!! Pizza was A-1 tear! Thank you 900 degree team especially Kevin!!!!!! That's a young man with some great manners! I'll be coming back just because of him read more

We love 900 Degrees! Outdoor seating is beautiful and food is always delicious. Love the service and the owner, John. We get here every chance we get. Try the seared tuna special. read more

It's nothing special, for the price just order a pie from somewhere good. Half the pie is just crust with nothing on it. Service was ok, but no point when the pizza is something you could make in your oven at home. read more

This was a great place when they first opened but lately it has gone downhill. The food is still mostly great but the service and atmosphere are terrible. Our last visit we were jammed in like sardines in a can. Way too many tables crammed into the space. This leads to problems like the waitstaff can't navigate properly and they are constantly banging into your chairs or leaning over you. Since they are so busy our food came out at different times, 2 appetizers came out and about 5 minutes later the other 2 were brought out. Same for entries, 3 were delivered and 1 came a good 7-8 minutes later. Never once did anyone ask if we wanted refills of our sodas or stop by with water. We ordered the pulled pork pizza by mistake ( or so we were told) and tried to eat it but the BBQ sauce was overpowering and made the pie not enjoyable. The waitress did offer to make the pizza we thought we ordered but everyone would have been done with their meals by the time we got it. I think you need to get back to basics and and handle a smaller number tables perfectly instead of trying to pack in too many tables and have them not receive the best service. read more

Went there Friday night for a girls night out. We ordered among other appys, the hot pepper sausage and potatoes appetizer. The sausages were burnt to a crisp and you could crack them with your fingers and the potatoes were crispy and hollow...clearly way over cooked. Showed it to the waitress who couldn't have been any nicer and offered to replace the order. She came back with the dish minus all the hot peppers. When asked why she said that her boss asked her to leave the hot peppers out since they were not the issue. Horrific customer service. We spent good money there and peppers are not that pricey that the owner decided to leave them out of the replacement order. I will never visit this establishment again and said to say, I live in this town and I will let my friends know of this restaurant owner's indiscretion. read more

TRASH CUSTOMER SERVICE. UNBELIEVABLE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME !! Unfortunately there is no way to leave 0 stars and I am forced to give it a 1 star. I am so disappointed tonight. I experienced absolutely the worst customer service. I called to place an order for pick up it took the girl 20 minutes to put my order in the register she was very confused and all I was ordering was a chicken Parm and pasta she got someone else on the phone they helped me place my order. I told them both girls several times please no pork and my pasta I am Muslim and I don't eat pork for religious reasons. I got there and waited 20 minutes for my food. when I went to the register to finally pay for my food there was a very rude man working at the register I asked him nicely to make sure that my food once again the pasta did not have prosciutto. he looked at me and laughed and said I know there isn't any because I packed your order I paid for my order $26 for chicken Parm and walked out. This food was going to be my sons dinner. I get to my car and I figured because I live in Mountain Lakes I should just check the food before I leave. I was so disappointed to see that my food was covered in prosciutto. I walked back into the restaurant and I told the man. I asked you to check my food and he told me why are you mad at me I didn't make it. I asked to speak to a manager because at this point I was so disappointed this was an hour later. I wasted my time waiting for the food I got charged for prosciutto I told him several times kindly no pork. Then I asked to speak to the manager they called him on the phone and told me that I can't talk to him because he's driving even though they were talking to him in front of me. they said to me "if you want you can wait 30 minutes for him to come back and close up the restaurant " ?? What! I couldn't believe that answer. I just spent over an hour and now I'm gonna wait 30 minutes for a manager. They wouldn't give me the managers number either they gave me the restaurant's business card to call back for a manager. Even though I already had a number because I'm the one who called and placed the order. I waited 30 minutes and called back 15 times and they won't answer the phone terrible business terrible terrible terrible do not go. Save yourself the trouble. So sad that people can't do there job correctly. read more

If your looking for upscale pizza and a nice BYOB environment you can consider 900 degrees. The pies are either 10 or 12 inch bar pies that run about $15 each. The pizza was good, not like Sorrentina in North Bergen or Brooklyn Pizza in Edgewater, but those are the best in NJ. We also tried the meatball n ricotta appetizer and the meatballs were cold which was to bad. I should have known that this kind of app isn't made to order and selected something different so that's my bad. Nice wait staff and good service, so kudos there. By the way, "aj" from pequonock. Post a picture of yourself and when you give every restaurant 1 n 2 stars you lose street cred. ( but 4 stars for chick-fil-a???) Tell us where your a chef so we can try your food. Lots of respect here for restraunteurs and believe Yelp is a great way to connect business with customers, not belittle someone's profession. read more

Can I give like a hundred stars for best gluten free pizza ever? We had the new yorker pizza which comes with meatballs and sausage and then some... paid the extra $5 (i think) for the gluten free crust. It. Was. Awesome. We did outdoor seating cuz it was a gorgeous day out. Beautiful outside seating area with a nice covered porch. And there was pretty good service despite how the outdoors seating area is a hike from the kitchen. Def going back. read more

Wow best wood fire margherita in Montville (better then the one in Pine Brook). Best Penne Vodka with prosciutto and peas my wife and I have ever had. Best Caesar salad we ever had. Espresso was just okay... waiter was cool. We loved it. It's hard to eat Italian food now from anywhere else. Also had the Nutella pie, it's good but Parsippany's Best Nutella is better. Our favorite place, highly recommended. read more

900° is a great local pizzeria, especially if you're looking for pizzas that I have a little bit more culinary jazz than your normal pie. It gets four out of five stars because while the food is always on point, I have shared the same experience as other reviewers where the service is sometimes slow. However, I would prefer slower service to being rushed through my meal. read more

Amazing food as always! Still remains one of my favorite places. What stood out this tIme was the Level of service. The minute we walked in the owner was so nice. Our waiter was amazing as well. We were there to celebrate a friends pregnancy and another one buying a new house. They normally close at 10 but stayed later just so we could finish. They never rushed us and they were all so nice. I highly recommend. read more

My family and I absolutely love coming to 900 Degrees. We love the ambience and the cozy feeling we get each time we walk through the door. The food is delicious and the service is phenomenal. I have a lot of food allergies and I always feel 100% confident when ordering food from here. The last time we went our server was Eric and he took extra precautions to ensure that my food was prepared correctly and safely, plus he was a stellar waiter. Be sure to swing by 900 Degrees...you won't be disappointed! read more

Always fresh pizza, best rice balls and calamari. We continue to go back because of the fantastic customer service and great food!

Great food. I recommend the Funghi Pizza and meatballs. The staff was friendly. They have TVs to watch the games. Great local place

What a cute little place! The pictures make the restaurant look a lot bigger but the food is to die for. Our server, Alim, was an absolute joy. He was charismatic, fun and very prompt on service. We ordered the burrata as an appetizer and that was just ok (not the best we've ever had) but the 3 meatball appetizer was something to write home about. My family and I then ordered 3 pizzas for dinner: the burrata (5 stars), the clam one (another 5 stars), and the pesto (another 5 stars). All came out piping hot and were enough to split between 2 people if you were to share. We then ordered the cannoli pie for dessert and we are still talking about how delicious it was a week later! Absolutely would recommend this restaurant to friends and family and we'll be back! :) read more

Great restaurant! Large variety of pizzas, entrees and appetizers. Pizza is all great. Highly recommend the rice balls an as appetizer. They also have a large selection of specials. Can't wait to go back !! read more
