Cheese slice and Margherita slice
Jbird D.

The pizza had no taste. They charged my $8 for these two thin slices. Like wheres the tomato sauce? Even putting garlic on the mergharita pizza there was still no taste. Save your money people, so much better pizza places in Lyndhurst and North Jersey. Like i couldnt taste anything on this pizza not even the cheese. First and last time here.

Broccoli Rabe,  Sausage and Hot Peppers
Pete B.

Finally made my way to A1 being that I pass it everyday. This started out like a rocket ship and slowly turned off course. We got the Penne Vodka pizza, ordered a Buffalo Chicken pie, Vodka chicken parm hero and broccoli rabe with sausage and hot peppers. The Penne Vodka Pie was phenomenal. It was SOOOOOO good. Crust was nice and crispy. Then my son went for the Buffalo Chicken and I'm thinking... that's odd that they put tomato sauce on it. But ok, maybe that's how they do it. He's eating it and he's like, this isn't spicy at all. So I had to try it and it was a chicken parm pie. Very disappointing. The Vodka chicken parm sandwich was average at best. The chicken was kind of dry and there was VERY minimal sauce on it. Definitely wouldn't recommend it. The broccoli rabe, sausage and hot peppers was a curveball. The sausage was done perfectly. I personally prefer mine a little well done and they were. Excellent. Broccoli rabe was awesome. The hot peppers were jalapeños. I wasn't expecting that. I was expecting Italian hot peppers. It just threw it off in my mind. It didn't flow well. My son also got Buffalo wings which he said was very good. Penne Vodka is definitely on point. The rest was ok for a local grab and go.

Grand ma pie...

If you like thin crust, then you will love this place!!! Crust crispy, Sauce is tasty and not to heavy. Delivery is always on time....Highly recommend!!!!

Hands-down, the best pizza I have ever tasted in my entire life. And just so you know before you…read morego....they only sell FULL PIES, and trust me, you're going to want the whole thing anyway! The pizza was absolutely incredible. The crust had that perfect crisp while still being light and flavorful, the sauce was delicious, and everything came together perfectly. You can tell they put so much care into every single pie they make. There's something about finding a pizza spot that keeps things simple and absolutely NAILS what they do, and Casano's is exactly that. No slices... just fresh, delicious whole pies made to order! The quality really speaks for itself, and this is easily a spot we'd come back to again and again. If you're in Rutherford or anywhere nearby and consider yourself a pizza lover, Casano's needs to be on your list. The chicken Parm is absolutely amazing too !! Here's a list of my favorite pies that I LOVE : Stracciatella vodka New Haven White Garlic French Onion Pie I also love the fact that it looks like stepping into your grandmas living room inside. The old decor, furniture, and everything else makes it feel so cozy!! Service is excellent and everyone is so friendly !!

I tired the cheesteak because he made it look so good on Instagram. What I got was not that. First we had to wait almost 30 minutes which is fine if the food is worth it. The cheesteak I got had maybe 2 ounces of meat and cheese. Very skimpy. Would not get again if that's how they always come out. If not these kids need to learn to make it the way the owner does. The place is awesome! He did a great job recreating the old feel and I love it. I still have to try the chicken parm. I'll be back if he is working. If not I'll probably walk out.

For food, we decided to order a bunch of things to share: -Zucchini fritte (with lemon aioli dipping sauce) - this was thin and perfectly crispy but somehow not oily. It was addicting -Arancini - these were okay. Could have used more meat -Margherita pizza - can't go wrong with a margherita. I do wish the actual crust was thinner -Meatball & Co pizza (meatballs, sweet sausage, cherry peppers, tomato sauce, mozzarella & ricotta cheese) - same with the crust situation. The description also said cherry peppers but they also added jalapenos, which is not a big deal - just a call out. The sausage was alright -Seafood fra Diavolo (sauteed clams, calarami, mussels, spicy tomato sauce) - sauce could have used a bit more spice. They don't skimp on the seafood though. I was pleasantly surprised by the calamari, which can taste rubberband-y but that wasn't the case here -Tiramisu - tasted fridgey/supermarket-bought -Affogato - a nice way to end the meal. Made me wonder why I don't make more affogatos at home Overall, it the meal was fine. Is it something I'd crave for? I don't think so. Well, maybe except that zucchini fritte. I wouldn't mind ordering that again. Tip - BYOB (there's a liquor store across the street)

Where else can you find multiple shoe repair shops ("cobbler" - there's a Scrabble bingo word for y'all!) rubbing elbows with state-of-the-art apartment complexes, and a smattering of 'hip' and 'hot' new restaurants that keep getting rave write-ups and making all sorts of "Best of..." lists. If you're a working stiff that doesn't want to break the bank to feed your family - you can't help but appreciate that there's a place like Da Mario's that's not chasing 'likes' but remaining humble and knocking out damn good food that's affordable and tasty. The pizza is solid. Good taste, a satisfying crust, it's not going to lure any 'influencers' their way and that's fine. (Da Mario's doesn't look like a place that has any social media presence and I'd bet they still have a dedicated fax line!) The garlic knots looked 'basic' but they had a serious smack of flavor that took me by surprise, I can't lie. (And their mozzarella sticks were a hit with my kids.) And - per the usual - I must order cavatelli and broccoli when I see it - and they absolutely nail it. Not the most comfortable chairs to sit in? A table you're expecting to be a bit wobbly? Generic maps and drawings of Italy on the walls? The place is bare bones... nothing fancy, exactly what you're expecting from an old-school pizza joint. Crew behind the counter - awesome. Metered street parking (but this block is incredibly busy, so you'd be keen to drop a quick prayer to St. Frances of Rome - the patron saint of car drivers - to help you find a spot). A family of four stuffing their mugs for about $8 a person? In today's economy? Cosa non è da amare.

To start: there's a small parking lot in the back but otherwise appears to be street parking. Both of our cars found spots in the lot since we got there a touch before 5pm. When we got in there, there was only 1 table of two people occupied but we were asked if we had a reservation which we didn't have. Admittedly, it was a bit of a last minute decision to go out so it completely slipped my mind to look to see if I would be able to reserve something but it was before 5pm so I'm surprised we were met with such resistance. Luckily, they were able to take us with warning we would need to be out by 6:45. For reference we left at 6 since we only got entrees. The place itself is somewhat small and has a little covered patio which saw had some tables. It's no frills and the menu wasn't all that extensive. I swear there is more of a menu on their Slice app for takeout ordering. Bread was placed on the table as well as a water pitcher. To be honest, I didn't think the bread had much flavor and my husband and parents agreed. We were pretty hungry so we did finish it (even when bread isn't great, it's still good in my book) but we weren't offered any more than the first basket. All of our entrees came with salad which were typical pizzeria salads-not bad, not amazing. My mom and I both ordered the Chicken Avellino (chicken breast sautéed with chopped red onion, red peppers, sliced hot cherry peppers, shitake mushrooms in a white wine sauce with a touch of plum tomatoes) which came with roasted potatoes. I'm not the biggest fan of spicy but I thought I could just take off the sliced hot cherry peppers and be okay. Wow was I wrong because the entire dish had a kick to it. Even my mom who gravitates towards spicy food admitted it was hot. That said, the quality of the chicken was phenomenal. It was thin sliced and very good. My husband very much enjoyed his Scaloppini Marsala and my dad liked the Pollo Francese but did wish the sauce was a touch thicker. I will say I think the quality of the food served is very good but the portions are not plentiful. I'm guilty of always taking home and making another meal or two out of what I get out somewhere but all 4 of us cleared our plates. At a $30 price point I just wish there were larger portions.

Margarita Slice (8.6/10) - Sauce was plentiful and savory, with a touch of sweetness that really brought out all the ingredients. The cheese had a nice pull and the basil provided your typical margarita taste. Combined with the crust that added nice crunch, this margarita slice fostered a harmonious combination of flavor town. Nonna Slice (8.3/10) - The nonna slice provided a unique twist on the typical margarita flavor town. With a chunky marinara sauce,, and squareness, every bite if done correctly gets the perfect of all its flavors (town). The flavor of the sauce was not quite as tasteful as the OG margarita, but still served for a fun slice of goodness. Rice Ball (7.7/10) - Although the rice ball was 70% rice, the flavor of it with the meat and peas came together to make a yummy mush. Along with the crispy surface and side of (sweet) warm marinara sauce, the rice ball is a nice dish to have in the coziness of your home. Drunk Sicilian Slice (8.2/10) - Exactly what you would expect from a slice of pizza made with vodka sauce. In its unique square shape, the cheese is melted nicely across the creamy sauce and the rich crunchy crust. The cheese was the star of the slice with so much all over, it's everywhere. Penne Vodka Slice (8/10) - Tastes like what it looks like, a lot of pasta with less room for the sauce to shine. The slice was gimmicky but was a fun attempt at combining two fan favorite dishes. There was some cheese present on the slice but was met with a mouthful of barely toasted pasta. The pasta itself brought a rather mild taste that could've been replaced with a more flavorful option. Still fun to try though.
