I had loved Il Porto in this spot so when I saw a new place opening on Lake Mohawk I had to give it a try! Still a nice cozy interior with gorgeous views (big win if you're there when the water ski team is practicing - great entertainment!). Service was great, polite and timely! The star of the menu is the pizza - the "thinny thin" had a great Barstool Pizza rating and I see why! SUPER thin and crispy pizza with great cheese all the way to the edge. Also had the risotto and penne vodka and while good, the pizza is for sure what you should go for. Will definitely return! read more

My vision of tonight's (Saturday) dinner with my wife was: outside table to watch the sunset. Had reservations for inside at 7:30pm because they don't take reservations for outside (??). They say if something is available at 7:30 outside you can have the seat. We arrived 30 minutes early to hopefully sit outside. Reality: they sat us inside at a small table next to the wait staff area entrance. I had my back to the lake so I didn't see anything but waiters and waitresses bringing dirty dishes into the kitchen area. We waited 15 minutes before our waiter came to our table. We ordered Cesar salad for 2 and a large thinny thin (half plain, half pepperoni). We never received bread and butter while all other tables did. I tried to ask our waiter or any but they wouldn't make eye contact (all busy). Our waiter nowhere to be seen. We received the pizza. We did not receive the salad. When our waiter finally showed up again, we told him to cancel the Cesar salad. Which they did. He was apologetic but the dinner was ruined. Crappy experience. Angeloni's service in Caldwell was much better. Pizza was great though. 0 stars for service, ambiance, salad and bread&butter. 5 stars for the pizza. read more

Was attracted by a clever video of Angeloni's on social. Then noticed average yelp reviews of both locations and did not have much expectations. Disappointing to see because I was hoping the place would be as good or better than the video. Last Wednesday after my wife Sabina's final students left her arts school, I took her to try the restaurant anyways. Reached there late, the final half hour before closing and they accepted us. Honestly, we were pleasantly surprised. Sat at a table outdoors on the boardwalk overlooking Lake Mohawk on a beautiful evening. Restaurant was still busy as all tables were full. Sabina captured and shared videos of the lake views like we were at a destination in Italy 1. The waitress was not bubbly just kind, helpful, and honest about the food ingredients since we are vegetarian. Checked with chef on one item in particular to clarify/confirm whether it was made with meat before giving us a wrong answer. She was pleasant 2. First time here and first time taking a chance on an eggplant pie, the "Gina Marie." It was great in our opinions, worth the trip, wait, and money. Could not find anything off with it really. Enjoyable 3. They have an affogato which was not the best in the game but done right the traditional Italian way I think. I once went to an Italian restaurant in Florham Park where, wildly, no one in the staff knew what an affogato was and said "We are not Starbucks" like I was an idiot. Couldn't stop laughing inside at those morons. Great affogato I have tried is at Eataly store which has diff flavors like pistachio gelato and pistachio crumbs 3. Leftover slices in the air fryer the next day tasted similar to the day we ordered it. Definitely a plus as pizza from some restaurants taste terrible next day. Prices are elevated which is fine as long as the experience, depth of flavors (as an Indian), and quantity of food reflect. Did not try other pies so cannot share review/judge of them. Not sure why the reviews and rating are opposite our experience because we were fully 5 star satisfied. read more

Angeloni's on Lake Mohawk - Large Gina Marie Pizza half leftover. Depth of color, textures, and flavors on it - Pizza Near Me - Sparta, New Jersey

Perfect place to sit down for lunch or dinner on a warm Spring/Summer day. I specifically went to try the 'thinny thin' pizza. Situated on the 'boardwalk', we ate outside with a perfect view of the lake. The staff was very welcoming & friendly. We ordered 2 thinny thins (one pepperoni & one meat lovers) & wings. The wings came out first; they were golden & crispy and had good flavor to them. The pizza truly lived up to its name. Oddly, both pies arrived at our table room temperature. Despite not being piping hot, it was tasty. read more

A beautiful location overlooking Lake Mohawk in Sparta and known for crispy very thin crust pizza. The servers were pleasant and efficient, the outdoor seating lovely. The Caesar salad was shared by 2 of us along with the pizza. This is not a traditional pie but rather very thin with a crispy cheesy crust. Bring the kids and sit near the door...every time the door closes it sounds like a fart! The kids will love it and we got quite a chuckle out of it! Enjoy. It was fun! read more

The doors were open so there were flies in the dining room and it smelled like dirty floor along with A DIRTY FLOOR. There was food under our table and on the chair that I had to clean off before sitting. Not a good first impression. Ordered eggplant parm and chicken milanese. In the mean time a basket of stale bread came to the table. The marinara sauce had no simmered taste to it. Like tomato out of the can. The salad on my chicken was dressed flavorfully but the chicken underneath was breaded to the point of which it was coming off in my salad. No need to go back. read more

Pretty good pizza spot, pulled up to the board walk from the boat to grab a regular Plain pizza surprised how good it was, doesn't seem to be like a normal pizza place where they have a counter for individual slices ect, I would definitely choose this place over casa Mia any day read more

Very delicious thin crust, pizza and a great location right on Lake Mohawk. Beautiful sites.

Burnt pizza and drunk employee knocked over and broke a wine glass, getting wine all over my daughter's pants. No apology and got all up in everyone's face, refusing to clean up the mess. read more

This restaurant got one stars for its location. Our service was very close to the worst I've ever had and the food was mediocre at best. Where do I start? We reserved a table for 5 for outdoor dining. When we arrived we were told that outdoor dining was not available or for reservation. We were never told this when we made the reservation. Our indoor table was spacious but it was disappointing. It is a bring your own alcohol which is great but I don't drink so I'm usually perfectly happy with water. There was 1 smaller glass container on the table with water and 5 very small plastic glasses. The water had a foul taste that I've never experienced before. Our waitress finally arrived to take our order and I asked for a soda. At the waitresses recommendation we only ordered our starters. She said she would be back so we continued our conversation. A bread basket was quickly dropped off by someone else with no expression or words. No bread plates to eat on and I was also missing a set up of utensils and a napkin. I waited long enough before I had to get up and take a setup from another table. Never got bread plates. We still had our menus when the first course came delivered my kitchen staff. I quickly gathered all 10 of the menus (5 regular menus and 5 specials menus) and had to place them under my chair on the floor. No one offered to take them, they just dropped the food with no words and turned around and walked away. We were sharing and had no side plates. It was awkward. I had to stop another waitress and ask for them. She was less than pleased at my request. We hadn't seen our waitress since we ordered the starters. Our waitress finally arrived to empty starter plates and my empty drink glass. She left everything behind as she took our dinner order and quickly left and we never saw her again until it was time for the check. The food came out to a loaded table of dirty starter plates. We had to pile our plates up to make room for our dinner. This was again delivered by very rude kitchen staff who just walked up to our table and stared yelling out our meals waiting for one of us to claim it. Then the left without taking a single thing Or asking us if we needed or wanted anything more. Some of us wanted grated cheese and salt and pepper would have been nice. At this point I still had nothing to drink other than the stinky water which I wasn't take that chance with. Our food was just terrible. Two of us ordered lobster ravioli. There was zero taste to the ravioli and I do not believe there was any lobster in it at all. Two of us ordered cavatelli and broccoli. The pasta was very undercooked and the broth was very very watery with no taste. The final meal ordered was a chicken dish with pasta. This meal was inedible. The pasta was so undercooked it was still crunchy. Just terrible. My friend took her meal home with the intention of finishing the cooking process for dinner the next night. I never did get another drink and all the dishes from start to finish were still on the table. Our waitress finally appeared to ask us if we wanted dessert. We cut our losses and just asked for the check. Of course check came out in a flash. I really can't say anything was good about this experience other than their location. They have beautiful view of Lake Mohawk but unfortunately they need to get it together. I really wanted to like this restaurant. read more

Rude service, super long wait of over an hour for a pick up order of just 1 pizza, and pizza was a burnt mess.

This place is a solid 5 all around -- from the views of Lake Mohawk to the food. I have been to some of the best: Totonno's Pizzeria Napolitano, Di Fara Pizza, L&B Spumoni Gardens, Juliana's Pizza, Patsy's Pizzeria, L'Industrie Pizzeria, Taglio, and Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana -- so expectations are high. We stopped in for an early dinner, and the thin crust pizza did not disappoint: crispy, crunchy, and full of flavor. The hot vinegar chicken was also excellent. Nick and Mike, the owners, couldn't have been friendlier. They took the time to come over and chat, which really elevated the experience. You truly couldn't ask for better hospitality. If you love Thin Crust pizza this is a must try!! read more

Great food...great service. love this place. pizza is awesome and what a view outside...

The food was good, very good fries. Excellent young man was our waiter, very personable, friendly, attentive and efficient. (maybe Devon?) ir was a beautiful day but we had to sit inside because the woman at the door refused to seat us at 1 of the 2 tables outside in the shade. 'They were reserved', she said. We were told an hour earlier that they do not take reservations for outside tables.. I was really annoyed with her. I'm still annoyed. Ii's so obnoxious to just lie in someone's face! read more

The pizza is phenomenal. If you like thin crust, pizza, and I mean, cracker thin, then you must try Angeloni's. I had half plain and half sausage and mushroom. Pizza was cooked to perfection. Do you have to wait a little while for your pizza because they cook it fresh to order. Just incredible! I forgot to mention the great service. My waitress was super attentive and brought me a free sample of the garlic knots that she was raving about. They were amazing too. :-) read more

The service. Oh my god. TERRIBLE. The woman that was acting as a "hostess" was horribly rude. We showed up for our 7:30 reservation and the place was packed, to be expected on a gorgeous night during the holiday weekend. When I told the hostess that we had a reservation for outside she snapped at me saying that's not possible and they don't take reservations for outside. She then stormed away from hostess stand to see what tables were available. When she came back she said she had a table inside for us. I asked her how long the wait was for outside because that's what we wanted and she replied nastily "we close at 8 so I don't know" and I was like "we have a 7:30 reservation I'm confused as to what you mean you close at 8:00" she then said "it's going to be 40 minutes wait for outside but we close at 8pm" and I said "okay, we can just sit inside, do you still have that table available" and she very rudely said "so you want that table?" And I replied at this point almost in tears from how rude she was being and her tone with me "I'm sorry, did I do something to offend you? We have a reservation for dinner here I'm just asking about table options" and she replies "did I do something to YOU?!" Very aggressive tone. "I said it's fine we would just like our table now" and she snatched up menus and stormed us back to the back of the restaurant to sit, throws the menus on the table and storms away. She was SO AWFUL. I understand that working a holiday weekend on a gorgeous day must be hard and I can imagine she was stressed but she made me and my family feel Terrible and was soooooooo rude. My husband made us that reservation for my birthday dinner and she treated me so badly we got up before we had water on the table and left because she was so nasty. If you're going to have a restaurant on the water during a holiday weekend and can't handle the amount of people coming to try to patronize your business, then you're in the wrong industry. read more

Love the pizza and sandwiches at Angeloni's. The only problem is that sometimes, there is a long wait for the food so it is best to go on "off" hours if you can. Or just be prepared to wait. I enjoy it there. read more

Sorry... if you are going open the 29th pizza spot in Sparta it better be good. This was 1 out of 10. Understand delivery mishaps can happen but the pizza was just terrible. Had a weird after taste (kind of like that tallow taste you get from Burger & Butcher - really off putting) and was burned. On the delivery front... first attempt was missing one of two pizzas. Second attempt... pizza comes and is burned and completely tilted during delivery. Thanks but no thanks. Place is done read more

This was the worst pizza in the world service was horrible I went to pick up a pizza and a man was waiting 25 or more minutes when I got there without even a hello from staff shame on you !The pizza was cold mozzarella stick 4 for 12.95 without a lid not bad but cold tho! Kimberly was a horrible representative for the front desk helping customers she had no personality I had to go in the kitchen to get her to ring me up! Pathetic place, never going there again! And I'll tell all my friends. 36$ for a pizza and 4 mozzarella stick def not worth it . Shame on you ! And the restaurant looked like a whole in the wall, oh wait it gets better when you call there no one answers the phone. The phone was ringing off the hook with no one willing to answer it. Kimberly if you don't enjoy your job you should quit bc your personality sucks. read more

Had a reservation for double date night with a couple. Sat us at reservation time. Tables were small and cramped. Food was tasty but small portions for price. Veal parm was double the size of chicken parm my guest had. Servers kept bumping into us as table was placed right where staff enter/exit kitchen. Servers were inexperienced for prices. $30+ entrees and I was chasing down server for cheese/pepper and refills. I reached out to restaurant via their instagram page to provide constructive feedback and the reply was thanks! The way a business handles a guest with an "off" experience in the restaurant/hospitality industry is EVERYTHING. Sorry, but I wont be recommending them to friends, family or clients now. Hope they can get their act together. Beautiful location. Good food, but service, setup doesn't dictate pricing they're asking. read more

After seeing so many videos about Angeloni's Thinny Thin Pie, I had see what it was all about. I stopped in today around lunch time. I was welcomed by Michael who quickly sat me down, took my ordee and brought me a drink. He then introduced me to his Brother Nick who was just as welcoming as Michael. I told Nick, I hope the Thinny tin is as good as you say on Facebook. Well, it was, and more. My wife and I have lived in Sussex County for 40 years and it was by far, the best pie I have had in the county. And this is coming from a guy from Essex County that still visits that other thin crust pie place that will go unmentioned. Welcome to the Sparta and Sussex County. read more

Food and service awful!! My pasta was swimming in tasteless vodka sauce and the pasta was over cooked. I've had better Italian food at chain restaurants! The wait for your food takes forever which is fine if you're getting fresh quality food which this was not. The staff was unfriendly and look miserable to be there. For the price of this place there are so many better options in the area! read more

Terrible... first of all, the prices are not consistent with the prices online. I ordered cavatelli and broccoli, which is listed at 17.97 online and it is $22 at the restaurant. Same exact thing for my mother-in-law's meal and my wife's mail. The Cavatelli and broccoli looked like soup, tasted like they dumped the pasta water in with the cavatelli. I've never seen cavatelli and broccoli served in a bunch of liquid like that.Barely any pasta for $22. I would say 1/4 cup. The beef, short rib, dinner, same thing. Barely any short rib meat in it.. my mother-in-law who is almost 94 and like a bird, wanted a slice of pizza. They said they can't give her a slice. She has to buy the whole pizza . Ridiculous.. bad experience from start to finish. Couldn't wait to get out of there. And from what I see from a lot of these reviews, they offer no compensation, the owner doesn't write back unless you leave a good review, and they don't seem to care. needless to say, will never go there again read more

We came for the Thinny Thin and now there's no going back. They've perfected a thin pizza, down to the sauce, crispy edges, and just the right amount of cheese. We ordered two and they didn't last long. I can't wait to go back already! read more

Good pizza, but I'd love an explanation as to why basically a personal sized pizza with half the amount of cheese and half the amount of dough is double the price of a regular pizza. Make it make sense. They won't last long with these insane prices, even in Sparta. read more

Luckily, I've never been to this place, but heard that this restaurant has staff that's dismissive, exclusive, and outright unwelcoming towards people of color. If families can't enjoy their (mid) food or receive the right customer service based on their ethnic origins, then restaurants like this shouldn't open their doors in the first place. read more

Was seated and ignored for 15 minutes. No menu, no water , nothing!! Got up and walked out. Locking the door would be a perfect improvement. , read more

The pizza is legitimately 4/5, there's not really many other good thin bar pie types around here and it's worth the high price. Calamari is also good. Everything else after that falls somewhere between you can get better at any other pizzeria nearby or straight up bad by any standard. The risotto I got recently had unmelted shredded CHEDDAR cheese in it and was clearly dropped under a broiler with some slices of other non-italian cheese. It's criminal that an NJ Italian restaurant would serve that. As other reviews here and elsewhere have noted, it is still a complete disaster inside as far as service and pick up. Multiple people have complained about the nasty and overwhelmed woman at the front for a reason. Hopefully they get it together because the pizza is good, the other restaurant is good, and it would be awesome to have a nice restaurant right on the water. read more

The Italian sub was average at best and the pizza was as advertised "if you don't like thin crust pizza with burnt edges don't buy" We tried and didn't like the pizza. read more

Fabulous for outdoor dining with lake vista. Staff was attentive & friendly. Burrata salad was great. Pizza is very good, but a notch or two below the original Caldwell location. My guess is the oven needs some more time & output to hit its groove. Parking is a challenge, but that's indicative of the area & not Angelonis alone. We'll be back. read more

We had a reservation for a Saturday night but apparently reservations mean nothing so dont bother calling. Patrons walk into a chaotic front space with a woman on the phone taking to go orders. After five or ten minutes an employee walked by and said sarcastically "welcome to Saturday "! A "hostess" came inside from the outdoor seating and asked where we wanted to sit. We asked for outside if possible since inside was noisy and crazy. She went outside and we watched through the glass as she waked around and chatted with people on the boardwalk. Some at tables and some passing by. She came back and we ened up at a noisy corner table behind a folding table of employees folding silverware into napkins. The food took a long time which we understoid for a Saturday but then appetizer, salad, entree, and "famous thinny thin pizza arrived all at once. Waitress said "that happens sometimes ". The clams in brodo were good but no bread with which to enjoy the broth. Waitress said "no one brought you bread"? after we ate the clams. Lasagna was mediocre and the famous pizza was black not crispy but black. Needless to say we will enjoy our many other favorite restaurants in Sparta and not return. Having both worked in restaurants and helped with a family member's restaurant in the past we are very understanding and tolerant about busy Saturday nights but this was too much! No one even asked or cared about whether or not we enjoyed our experience. read more

This is the best pizza i've ever had in my life! So delicious. Hospitality was amazing as well because I walked by the garlic knots being made and said "oh my god they smell so delicious" and 5 minutes later im greeted with a bowl of three of them!

He said he would handle it and nothing got handled. I am very disappointed as I have been to this place numerous times I have always been happy here before. The nasty server is tall with blonde hair is a nasty lady. I don't know if I will try again, even though I live in the area. read more

Average at best. We got a few pizzas and few entrées. The entrées were less than mediocre. The pizzas were OK, but they were not conscious of the allergies we shared with them. Many many mistakes and no apologies. Super crowded! Unfortunately, we did not need another Italian/pizzeria and Sparta . Hard to be excited about one that is below average. read more
