    Pepperoni pizza

    Classic pizza, thin crust- not bad actually. Compared to the rest of the reviews I feel a bit lucky that it wasn't burnt or undercooked. We went to a friends bday party on Sunday and they had 6 pies delivered. Plain, pepperoni and sausage. Pretty good! Not sure about service or cost...

    I came into Big Apple after taking a yoga class up the street so I had a big appetite! As soon as I walked in I was greeted by their friendly cashier and the inside was very clean. She explained each of the slices they had because they had a good amount of non traditional slices (loved that)! I ordered a regular cheese slice and their cheesesteak slice. It was a reasonable price for sure especially considering how large the cheesesteak slice was. They have me a cute little to go box, which I appreciate over the brown bags so that oil doesn't seep through as I made my commute. Both slices were really good. I'd be curious to see what a fresh slice of their cheesesteak pizza taste like because I'm sure the cheese would be extra gooey. Thanks Big Apple pizza!

    Ordered from Big Apple for the 1st time tonight. You use the online ordering option. Very good Veggie pizza. I also liked it because it was very easy to order exactly what we wanted. You also receive emails when your order was received, that your order is in process and finally when your order is available for pick up. We had the Gourmet Veggie Pie ($17) & a Large Plain Pie ($12.50). The only issue is the parking as there are not many spots available at dinner time on the street. They do have delivery though & coupons on their menus. This place was well staffed with very helpful & friendly staff (unlike other pizza places where they appear to feel "bothered" when you interact with them. Update: (10/21/17) We ordered the gourmet buffalo chicken pie tonight, it definitely has some kick to it but at $23, I think it's way too expensive for what you get. The mushroom pie at $15 is also good and priced appropriately.

    I love Big Apple! Their pizzas, salads, and subs are very tasty and their quality is consistantly good. Their pizza is better than other places in the area, in my opinion. Big Apple always delivers quickly, and the food is always hot and fresh. Their pan pizzas are my favorite because the crusts are so buttery and thick. They offer whole wheat crust as an option for their gourmet pizzas, which is great for when I'm trying to pretend that pizza is healthy haha. No, but seriously, I've found that most pizza places don't make a whole wheat crust, so this is really nice. They have a pretty impressive menu, which includes a number of Italian entrees. I haven't tried any of them yet, but I plan to!

    Vodka Sausage pizza - runny??

    Ordered two pies on a Friday night. Placed around 550 and received an hour later. Pick up was slated at 630. Yes its busy and yes i totally get it and was patient. But.. One pie burned and the other a sauce and cheese mess that was undercooked. If i was made to wait for the pizza it should have been worth it.

    Delicious pizza! Great staff! Fast service. Always a pleasure to come. Best local pizza.

    We ordered our pizza online around 9:20pm. I got a notification that our food was sent out for delivery around 9:50pm. In the notes, I put the access code for the building so they could get inside. Around 10:30pm we started to wonder what was going on. My girlfriend went to look outside while I tried to call the store (even though now they were closed) and no answer. We both haven't eaten all day and we're worried the driver just went home and never showed up so we ended up walking around the building again before going around the corner to pick up food. We came back within 10 minutes and still, we checked and nobody was around. All the sudden, there was a knock on our door and it happened to be a disrespectful delivery boy who just opened the bag and made me take the food out of the bag for him. We called the store the following morning to complain because the pizza was frozen cold and the other food we got was soggy and clearly was miss treated since it was all fallen apart. I spoke to a completely rude and unprofessional manager who told me it was my fault and that I should be more responsible. This is coming from the guy who didn't even apologize for the mix up and who is representing his bosses business. He then also told me that there are several addresses under my phone number (even though he confirmed delivery to the right address) and that I should stop ordering from so many places. I can't believe he would say something like that because all I'm doing is giving this place business. Safe to say, I'm done ordering here after this. Edit: Also forgot too add that the keypad to get inside the building has a directory with my name (same name on the order) to call my phone in order to buzz someone in. Manager also said: "I don't give a sh*t about your review" so here it is.

    Enough Said....  figure out how to deliver w/o this happening again for anyone.

    To say I was disappointed in this place is an understatement…read more My spouse and I went there more than once and we enjoyed the atmosphere and the food very nice, quiet and respectful place. Unfortunately not today. The server seemed inexperienced and was not attentive to the customer's needs and when she was confronted , she didn't care. The Owner for some reason brought their children to the establishment and they were uncontrollable, yelling and screaming bumping into tables, not a good atmosphere for a restaurant. If you own an establishment, I would suggest hire a babysitter. To have children yelling and screaming, it kills the atmosphere. And ruins the experience. PLUS WE WERE SO CLOSE TO THE OVEN Where they make the pizza so they saw us waiting they LITERALLY served everyone else around us except for our table. Lastly when we were finally served, they only sent us one order MIND YOU only after we complained when we had 4 at the table who ordered and we were waited for said Orders for the past 35 minutes. I TOLD THEM NO...take it back please why would take one order after waiting that long..... That was the last straw for me, I asked for the check and left... No one said sorry and no one cared im hoping the color of our skin wasn't a factor but these days its not impossible. This was a very disappointing, disgusting and unfortunate experience. I will not be returning to this establishment nor recommend anyone to come.

    Garlic Rose really knows what they're doing. No, seriously. Having garlic in your name means that…read moreI'm entering with the mindset of garlic being the main event, and I definitely wasn't disappointed. Upon sitting down for dinner you're greeted with warm bread paired with their Garlic Rose dipping sauce AND an entire head of roasted garlic. I love roasted garlic, but that dipping sauce had me hooked and was what I kept going back for. It was bright, garlic forward, and just so addicting to the point I'm sure I consumed about three heads of garlic and a loaf of bread just to myself -- and that was only the beginning. For appetizers, you MUST get the Angels on Horseback. Shrimp, crab and bacon all in one dish - you can't go wrong. I just wish I ordered a plate of this for only myself so I didn't have to share with the table. I also opted for the pre fixe dinner set that came with another appetizer, allowing me to try their beet salad. It was a generous portion and exactly what I was looking for! Garlic Rose's menu has a pretty bold statement on it: that their pork chops are the best you'll ever have. After seeing a French onion pork chop on their menu, I just knew I had to try that one and put their claims to the test. One word: WOAH. Not only was the pork chop extremely juicy, it was packed with flavor and you definitely get the French onion soup feel. All the elements of French onion soup are on your plate, from the cheese, the deep beefy flavor of the broth, and even a piece of bread underneath to soak up all the sauce that you were missing. The surprise came when I cut into my pork chop and realized there were layers of sliced onion underneath the broiled cheese, allowing me to fully get that onion flavor. Safe to say there were no leftovers on my plate, as I licked it clean. Another star dish that surprised us was the Calabrian Shrimp, Spaghetti, and Filet Mignon tips. The sauce packed a punch, but the shocker was the filet mignon being tender and having a delicious, smoky flavor that perfectly complimented the dish. I'm still dreaming about it! I wish I had a larger stomach so I could try the entirety of Garlic Rose's menu in one sitting, but I guess I'll have to settle with multiple visits in the future. This is some amazing Italian food that you MUST try if you're ever in the Cranford area!

    Only the nose knows Garlic Rose. I met up with an old friend at the old Rose - we both reminisced…read moreabout going to the one in Madison, which is closer and thus why I haven't yet been to this one. Fortunately, I can say not much has changed. * Inviting atmosphere, a nice tone for a "casual formal" meal - low lit but not overly elegant. * Prompt and friendly service, refilling water whenever requested. * I asked, they delivered: refills on bread and garlic bulbs if you wish. Because if you're at the Garlic Rose and you're not devouring clove after melty clove of roasted garlic, why are you even here? Of course, I only ordered food with garlic. The garlic chowder, hot and full of flavor. Garlic pasta: beef short rib ravioli. Splurge a little. What a flavorful filling. Back in the day, we'd get a bunch of garlic pastas and entrees to pass around. The only caveat: no garlic desserts. I've had garlic ice cream before at garlic festivals. It can be done, Rose. Make it so. The verdict: Make sure to invite the whole family, otherwise you'll be sitting alone for a few days.
