The food is always amazing., I had the Veal Parmigiana tonight along with the Zucchini Blossoms that our waitress,Leslie, recommended! They were so delicious! The veal was very thin and crispy.., Perfectly cooked too!! Leslie also recommended the Chocolate Mousse cake for dessert! It was so light and airy! Perfect way to finish off the incredible meal! Leslie was so professional and incredibly friendly and helpful ! Kudos to the owners for having an amazing staff! We will be back soon for sure!! read more

Not my first rodeo here, overall good. Food/Drink: Pizza by the slice! Pretty good New York style pizza. Good amount of options and combos. Full Italian style menu, appetizers, entrees, pizza, soups, salads, and desserts! Pizza: Great crunch, Very flavorful, not super oily though, Sauce was good not too. Dinning Area: Pretty decent amount of seats, open. Prices: Relatively cheap. 2 slice and fountain for $12! Parking: Plenty of space. Bathrooms: Bathrooms were clean and regular size. Atmosphere: During the weekday lunch rush, busy but quick and easy in and out. Staff/Attendants: Staff overall was older, and actually sociable. Not like the children I've seen in a lot of other places. I like to be greeted and chat a bit. ‍ Good experience...def one more try! 7/10 read more

I missed this place when they had the fire. The owners were always there and the food and service were on point. Since they reopened after the fire I've been back twice and they have lost something in the process. The food is not as good, not as well prepared or served. Been back twice since the fire but I intend to give it one last chance and three strikes and you are out. read more

We ordered the EX Large Everything pizza and delivery service was quicker than we thought. First of all, we were surprised to see that our pizza was hot, unlike other pizza delivery places in the vicinity. When when we sat down to eat we had the best pizza we have had since we have been in the area around 11+ years. We will be ordering pizza from Carmela's again. read more

Food is amazing and so tasty with great presentation. Services were excellent, making you feel at home , went above and beyond to make our dining experience a special one. The ambiance is so warm and pleasant and the addition of a bar with a wide variety to make our dining experiences even better. We highly recommend!!!! read more

Such a nice low-key local place! I was visiting Sullivan County for work and needed two nights of dinner. We came on Monday because not many places were open and it was good! I came back the 2nd night because I knew it was comfortable, super clean, well prepared simple Italian food and nice staff. Well done! read more

Absolutely loved the Carmela's pizza! And the indoor atmosphere was polished and cozy. I visited here for lunch at a time that was not too busy and I appreciated the server bringing out my food in a timely way. Looking forward to more good eats at Carmela's! read more

Best Italian food to go in area Try a pasta dish. You will NOT be let down Coming from a picky eater/ raised by italian chef grandma read more

First time I tried this restaurant, the food was good. I tried their pizza not too long after and it was good. Not great. But good. I went back and ordered the same meal, chicken parm. The chicken is cooked perfectly but their sauce is super bland. It needs more oregano, basil, and salt. Perhaps a little longer of a simmer as well to deepen the depth of the flavors. Their garlic bread is awful. It's dry. Please add butter to it to make it palatable. The pizza is definitely not consistent. The crust is not bouncy and flavorful like it should be. The dough should have little tiny bubbles and be golden brown, night light with flour dusting. I'll try this place one more time to see if it's any better. But definitely not consistent. The service is ok, could be better. They seem to heavily focus on service behind the counter . They seem a tad overwhelmed by a few customers. The few times I have been , they had maybe 6-8 tables . It's was slow. I will say the ambiance is nice. But this place could be better with being more consistent with their food quality, making better pizza, adding more flavor to their tomato based dishes, and having someone to greet people . read more

We went to Carmellas for the first time last week. The lunch was good. We then went for dinner not knowing the menu is different and prices are way too high for the crappy food we ate. You can tell the food is not authentic Italian food as I come from a family that owned an Authentic Italian restaurant for 25 years. I got a Stromboli and there were dots of meet instead of filling it properly with actual meat. My husband got lousy 5 raviolis that were not fresh. Their paninis are only dried up old bread pressed down with barely any fresh Mozzarella or filling inside of it. One slice of mozzarella that was the size of a half dollar. What a joke. Save your money and go somewhere else. Oh and the coffee was old and cold! The can redecorate all they want. They are over priced and the food just is not good or for that matter enough. read more

picked up pizza for lunch...tasted like gas oven. Horrible aftertaste! basically inedible. threw it out. expected better from a newly rebuilt restaurant. won't return read more

We love Carmela's and it's a staple restaurant for our family. Be sure to try their Italian dishes and soups of the day. They are delicious and full of flavor. It's more than just a pizza place. read more

burned crab cakes not good at . Not happy at all with the crabcakes. I ate them anyway, but I did not like them. Also ordered again said don't burn my crabcakes all they weren't burnt but they weren't cooked and they were cold so I guess I'm done with you. and I really was happy to get crabcakes. Oh well. read more

So disappointed since their reopening. Slow service, dry salad, and sauce was like jarred Prego. What happened? Can't go there again. ( at least for a while). read more

We ordered two half trays on Father's Day. Penne a la vodka and chicken parm. They were delicious and we would definitely order from Carmela's again. They were authentically cooked as we are Italian and my guests raved about them. My husband picked them up and he said they were very nice. I read some of the other reviews that were negative and I can't understand why they had such bad reviews. We will be ordering again. Carole C read more

Used recently for catering. Prices are not equating with quality. I was given two half trays of food with nothing else, not even bread, and the prices were way too high for the quality of what we received. Just incredibly disappointing. read more

Smooshed between a busted up Dollar store and a sketchy Chinese takeout place..Carmela's tries hard to appear like a classy sit down restaurant but falls way short! Upon entering my family was not greeted, they don't seem like they care to do business at all really. You won't get a warm vibe in this place if that's what you seek. The girl with her ponytail behind the counter didn't seem like she wanted to be there. She kept touching her hair from the top of the ponytail to the bottom to smooth it, like a nervous tick. It was definitely an appetite turn off. The second thing I saw was a sign that stated due to rising cost our prices have increased too! Great. Everyone hiking up their prices and blaming the gov't...so sick of this b.s. She finally made eye contact and still didn't ask dining in or picking up. She had no idea how to be a hostess. We asked if we could sit. She pointed and still don't murmur a word. After waiting several minutes we ordered. The pizza is lacking seasoning, bland sauce and cheap cheese. It honestly tasted like it was sitting out as a slice pie and reheated several times over. The mozzarella sticks were luke warm and congealed. My kids didn't eat them. Crap service and food. Won't be back. read more

I was sad when I had learned that this location had a fire and we called their other location a few times to find out when they would be reopening but they could never really tell us. To my surprise I happened to notice on Yelp that it had reopened and had been reopened for over a month - how I didn't know was beyond me. As soon as I heard it had reopened I went. The interior is very nice with a nice ambience - especially the seating area as they added a few more tables near the booths. Was super excited to get my favorite food items. Enjoyed a slice of pizza as an appetizer - it was superb as always. Ordered my favorite entree which is the Veal Raphael with a caesar salad. The salad was a bit smaller than I remembered it to be and it was just ok. My entree came out, I took one bite and said it's not how I remembered it. I had asked for angel hair pasta with it and I got spaghetti which was fine but unfortunately I only had a few bites and didn't continue eating it and I was a bit sad. In the past the veal was crispy, the eggplant was crispy, the sauce was amazing and the pasta was amazing. This time it was just not that good as the veal and eggplant were very mushy, the veal tasted off, the eggplant was very thin, the sauce had onions in it and had an aftertaste and there was water on my plate from the spaghetti that seeped into the meat. I asked for a take out container to take it home. Hubby ordered his fave which was the chicken franchaise and there were two pieces of chicken on top of a huge bowl of penne and he said the same thing that it wasn't the same as he remembered it. The breading was very thin, there was not enough sauce and it was very thin and under-seasoned and the chicken was smaller than we remembered it. He ate much of it but didn't take any of the remaining penne home. We didn't have any dessert. We will come here again as we love this place and just hope that this was an off night. read more

My family and I visited Carmella's this past weekend to celebrate my husband's birthday. The food was plentiful and delicious. Our server was pleasant and professional. Everything was great. We will be back. read more

Food was good, but not amazing compared to what I'm used to living in Schenectady, NY - one of the Italian food capitals of the Northeast. The bread was hot and delicious (I'd honestly come back for that alone), my seafood stuffed portabella was great, but the shrimp and scallop ravioli seemed to lack much seafood. Waitress was tremendously nice, but forgot to order my brother's gluten-free meal. Then made up for it with a free desert, but then forgot that. Was super busy, so I sorta get it, but not twice. Desert was good, but the coffee wasn't hot. Might have been poured and forgotten while the desserts we're prepared. There were 6 of us and the whole meal took a little over 2 hours with long periods of waiting. That said, I'd definitely give another try when it's not so busy. read more

I went the 2nd day of opening with my daughter. We both ordered a veal dish with angel hair pasta. The meal came with a salad. The servers were very attentive despite the busyness of the restruant. The atmosphere was pleasant in the newly styled dining room. The veal was flavorful and tender and the portions were large. We got to take some home for lunch the next day. Can't wait to try the pizza. We were regular customers prior to the fire so we are so happy they are open now. We certainly will be going again to try more of their dishs.!! read more

a friend recommended this place for great cold cuts, so I came by to order some takeout here for dinner. so, I placed my order with the counter person. so, I left for a few minutes to wait for my order. so came back and my order was bagged and ready, I had an Italian combo sub, garlic knots and limoncello cake. later on, I found out after I left since I thought everything was in the bag, they missed my limoncello cake, which sucks since I did pay for it, and they forgot it for my order. Beside missing the cake, the Italian combo sub, was very good, very generous with the meats, not too much lettuce and not too many tomatoes. The bread for the sub was great, it was very flat and not an oversized sub roll where its more bread in comparison to fillings. Garlic knots were lightly toasted and easy to pull apart to dip, marinara sauce was good, nothing more on it. will have to try their other menu item and will be sure to check all items are in the bag before i leave. read more

Carmela's Pizza Restaurant, man was it a good place to eat. Everything there was perfect! The service was good - especially the waitress that we had - and the food was excellent! My family also loved it! I had a BIG meal there because it was SO good! I had a whole plate of lasagna, chicken parmesan, and a slice of cheesecake. Wow, it was good! On a scale of 1-10 (1 being horrible and 10 being perfect) I would definitely give it a 10! The next time that my family and I are in Montgomery, we definitely know where we'll be going for dinner! I would highly recommend for people to go there! read more

Hands down best workers here I ordered she said closing in 30 minutes I said ok I'll be back ran to store got held up I'm stressing because they are gonna close and be left with my order so I called she said no problem I'm here. 15 minutes after closing my food was kept warm and she waited for me. Ok enough about the workers the Food was superb so good smelling I opened it and started eating as I drove home , sorry family didn't get the calamari but I did share the rest and it was delicious. Since then I've frequented several times and never disapointed if it's sit there or take home it's the same delicious outcome. read more

The pizza crust was like cardboard. Who made this?!?! The food was also way overpriced.

Use to be the place to go idk if they have a new pizza maker but the last 3 times the pizza was not good

I ordered the Chicken Catiatorre. I specified that I would like the pasta to be separate from the main dish and be served with marinara sauce. They combined the order with no marinara. I requested onions on the salad. No onions. Isn't a restaurant supposed to attempt to please? The Chicken Catiatorre is excellent. But consequently due to their careless error, I was very disappointed. This is the second time this same exact thing has occurred. It's infuriating. Overall grade only a C as a result. Update on a subsequent visit: Asked again for onions on my salad. The young girl who was handling the cash register carried my salad container to the veggies bar (behind the counter) reached into the raw onion container with her bare hands and pulled out the onions for my salad. When I confronted her about it and asked why she didn't use gloves her incredible reply was "we don't use them here." OK. Never again! Overall grade now F. read more

Love it here! We have been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. The current owners have done a lot to improve the interior (not that it was bad before, just kind of dated.) The owner of the plaza has really spruced up the outside as well so overall it's a nice ambience. We almost always have great service. I do have a favorite server who knows our drinks by heart as well as what kind of foods we prefer. The food is always great. I don't think I've ever had a bad meal here. I'm a picky eater so I tend to want to personalize my dinners (usually wanting to leave something out!!) and it's never a problem. The owners are always sure to greet you at the table or as you arrive or leave, asking how everyone is. It's so nice to have a local go-to restaurant where we know we will never be disappointed. read more

Oh tonight, our server, our service. Gets one star but I won't give one because that will effect the whole place and they don't deserve that. But our server, she gets one. She forgot our app (no Big deal prob didn't need it) but didn't even acknowledge it even when I said "hey if that's still coming out you can just cancel it" (which was clearly not because we were almost finished with entrees before she even came back for the first time ) she didn't say omg I forgot I'm sorry! Nope she goes "um Ok". My pasta tastes like air, totally nothing even after I covered it in salt, cheese and lemon. Lemon I got after everyone else was finished eating because she never came to check on us. Bad food, not the servers fault duh, but you're shitty attitude and lack of service sure as hell was. Someone came out and apologized and offered me something to go, super sweet. It happens no big deal I get it. Theeeen the check comes. Not our check. She goes "ok so the ppl behind you paid yours so, it's cheaper anyway." Girl no! There was 3 entrees on there (three of us too yes) but the air pasta should have been taken off because I didn't touch it or take it home. She gives a tude walks away to do whatever with the check, comes back with it (minus one entree yes but still not the right check but ok) drops it walks away and said YOU'RE WELCOME as she walks away. Haha honey get a new job, you're not a server. And your snotty attitude isn't cute. I've been in this industry almost 15 yrs. We forget things, we mess up, food sucks we didn't cook it, oh well right! But you were just snotty and clearly didn't get a shit tonight. It definitely showed. So Carissa W. clock out babe this isn't for you. But typically great food! And thanks for the Zeppoli's manager chef guy. Your positive attitude and genuine apology was the best part of the night. Wait and the chicken Milanese! That was perfectly cooked and crispy and yummy. read more

I had 3 absolutely amazing slices of pizza last night from Carmela's .. I could have had more it was so good. I hadn't been there in years and I actually hit a detour omw home from work passing me by the Resturant and I was hungry figured check it out again. As I remembered their food is always reliable and always delicious. The service is great too! Everyone working there was very attentive and helpful! Great food great people great atmosphere! I can't wait to go back! read more

Definitely the best pizza in town and I've tried them all. My kids enjoy the plain cheese pie and I absolutely love their white pizza with broccoli. They actually add a lot (the right) amount of cheese and broccoli to the entire pie. Their curbside service is fluid and the staff is very polite. read more

I hate leaving bad reviews but tonight's experience really creamed my corn and I'll be going elsewhere. We eat at Carmela's weekly consistently for over 15 years and this was really upsetting. Maybe we're just hangry but I called to place an order around 8:25-8:30pm this evening and was placed on hold for just about 11 minutes. I hang up and call back thinking maybe something happened with the phone to only be told they close in 15 mins and no more orders are being taken. I told her I was holding from 8:30 for about 11 mins and she apologized. So I asked "can you please take one last order?" She said sorry I already took "one last order" two phone calls ago. So I said thanks! And hung up. Sorry Carmela's but I won't be back for a loonnnnnnngggg time, if ever. If you want to stop taking orders at 8:45. Then CLOSE at 8:45 not 9pm. read more
