Top tier pizza for a reasonable price…read more Appetizers and drinks came out quickly, but the pizzas took a bit longer. Our server was very attentive and offered great seasonal recommendations. *Squash Salad: a seasonal dish that perfectly captured the feeling of autumn, served in a hot cast iron skillet. The squash was sweet, garlicky, and buttery, topped with smoky breadcrumbs. The blistered tomatoes paired well with the balsamic glaze, adding sweetness and juiciness to each bite. *La Pina Loca: perfect mix of salty, sweet, and spicy. The pork was rendered beautifully, creating a savory oil that blended well with the pineapple. The jalapenos added mild heat, and the hot honey was subtle. The crust was thin with a good char on the bottom. If I lived closer, I would come here all the time. It is unfortunate that the squash salad is only a seasonal item because my group kept talking about how much we craved it afterward. The beverage menu was a bit limited, so I hope to see more beers on tap or additional mixed drinks in the future.

I've been meaning to come here for a while because I heard they made amazing wood-fired pizza, and…read moreI was not disappointed! Cranberry and tomato burrata salad: it's a caprese salad, which I have nothing to complain about :) I did wish there were more tomatoes though, since the burrata was so large La pina loca--what an explosion of flavor!! I liked the hot honey with the pineapple, and the crust was really good Black garlic and funghi--Because we had the La pina loca first, this tasted a little bland in comparison. The crust was much crispier, but I felt like it missing something. But all in all, would definitely come back for good pizza, I want to try all the other flavors! Honestly Ardor Park was super close to 5 stars, if there was a 4.8 I would give it out!

The pizza is pricey and small compared to their competitors. Ventured back after seeing a questionable Tik Tok video. I was curious if things had gone down hill or were not as great as the last time, but I can only say positive things. For a feeding a family this is not the most economical option or best, but for the occasional special treat it works. Knocking off a star for the price. Also they charge $1.50 for blue cheese.

Pizza was absolutely amazing. PW is the best in ROC!

We were quoted about a 40-minute wait for a table, but told bar seating might open up sooner (around 30 minutes). They took my number and we stepped outside to take a walk around the block while we waited. We ended up getting a text about the bar seat availability in about 15 minutes. Once we got seated at the bar, things turned around quickly. The space has a really cozy, intimate vibe with dim lighting, warm atmosphere and overall it feels thoughtfully put together. We ordered hot toddies to drink, which were perfect for the weather, and for food we got the Japanese sweet potatoes and the cavolo nero pesto. Both dishes were incredibly delicious - flavorful and well-balanced. Just be prepared for a wait (and maybe stay nearby instead of wandering off), but once you're in, it's a great experience!

Our waiter was really attentive and good with recommendations. We got the spicy lettuce and crispy chicken for appetizers. Unfortunately, both fell flat for our taste buds. Way too much sesame on the lettuce! I got the autumn pizza, whereas, my friend got the bee sting pizza. We both really enjoyed our pies. Their selection of desserts sounded great, but, we ended up choosing the bay leaf panna cotta which was bomb! Overall, we enjoyed dining here. And I would recommend this place to a friend.

While waiting, I sat on a few chairs outside in front of the garage. It took about 15 minutes, and my pizza was piping hot. My ricotta melted due to the steam, but it was still very good! The portion was generous, I could only finish one slice and took the rest to go. It's not a sit-down restaurant, it's perfect to take to-go; however, there is a table that you could stand and eat at, if you needed to. The decor was also nice and bright, with a unique twist with decor. Louis also mentioned they source most ingredients locally, which is noticeable in the freshness of every bite. He was kind enough to offer me a New York-style cheese slice, which was also delicious! While a little pricey, the quality justifies the price. I can't wait to return! If you're in the area, definitely check them out!

I ordered two sheet pizzas to be picked up at 7 a.m. for my high school classes. I arrived around 6:45 and Kellyn greeted me. The pizzas were just going in the oven. One was a breakfast pizza, half bacon, half sausage, the other a traditional pizza, half cheese, half pepperoni. THEY. WERE. DELICIOUS!! My students LOVED the pizza! I had about 7 small slices left which I brought home and my daughter, who is particular about pizza, ate two of the slices without thinking! I want to thank Joe (the owner) for allowing me to order the pizzas and Kellyn for getting up so early on a Tuesday to make the pizzas. We will be using Brandani's again for our daughter's birthday party this summer. p.s. the night before I stopped to order and picked up two slices of their Buffalo chicken pizza for $9. They were so big, it was dinner for a family of three that night. And delicious?? *happy eye roll* I've heard their country sweet pizza is also delish - my next take out slices order, perhaps.... read more
