Super fresh vegetables and lettuce with olives - enough for two to share. Pizza choice was The Margarita with added pepperoni. Pizza was made perfectly with plenty of fresh mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce, topped with fresh basal. Pepperoni was a little sparse for me, but it didn't matter everything else was perfect.

The pantry is made up of carefully selected items that you would find in Joe's kitchen. He stands by everything that his shop sells 100%. The Gourmet Pantry represents so many regions as far as Argentina and as close as New Jersey. This shop is all Joe - an eclectic blend of tastes that suits all of your kitchen needs from balsamic vinaigrette, wide array of artisanal sweets, red peppers, butters, grits and so much more. And this is only the beginning! I'm in awe by Joe's tenacity to see his vision become a reality and am looking forward to seeing his brand at local markets across the city as well as the shop's special events coming in the near future.

"It is what it is - why expect more?"…read more Never have I gotten a gourmet meal at Favoli's - but never have I expected a gourmet meal at Fazoli's. If you go here with the expectation of something on the level of Maggiano's or Carraba's for that matter - even Macaroi Grill, you will most definitely be let down. Would you go to Golden Corral expecting a Morton's Steakhouse dining experience? Anytime you stand in line and pay before you eat - that should be your first major hint that you should not expect 5 star dining. Personally, I rarely go to Fazoli's, because that same meal I get there I can achieve myself at home. Does that mean the food is bad - no. Besides - Fazoli's is the Taco Bell of the "Italian" food segment. They use 4 or 5 ingredients, reshape and rearrange them in different configurations and create 50 different menu items. The desiding factor in what dinner you order is pretty much based on what shape you like your pasta. GREAT place for families with small children, because spaghetti and pizza are staples in the diet of the majority of children and the level of blandness in the sauces is perfect for them. There is a segment of our society that needs the option that Fazoli's offers. It's just that occasionally someone, who probably should never have walked in the door, dines there and is disappointed by the quality of the product or better put - expect superior quality at bargain basement prices.

The restaurant has a little comfy and cozy ambience with soft background music playing. I ordered chicken, chicken fresh rolls and chicken satay just to give them a gander. My order took approximately 10 or so minutes to prepare. I must say that their fresh rolls are not skimpy. Probably some of the larger ones I've ever had. Definitely a hit and I really like the sauce that they were served with. The chicken satay was nice and moist, but it did lack just a smidgen of seasoning. Overall, the food was very good and satisfying.

From the very first bite, you can tell everything is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, down to the marinara sauce, which smells like you just walked into your grandma's kitchen on a Sunday afternoon! We ordered the Stromboli, a manboli, antipasto salad, and a dozen garlic rolls and let me just say, the portions are no joke! I was genuinely shocked at how much food we got, and even more impressed with how beautifully everything was presented, especially for takeout. The garlic rolls? Absolute perfection. We were literally fighting over the last few so, do yourself a favor and order extra, and don't skip the side of melted butter and garlic for dipping. Trust me on that! And the salad! You don't always expect a salad from an Italian spot to steal the show, but this one was fresh, huge, and so good it lasted me three meals. It is so refreshing to finally have truly good, authentic pizza this close to home. We will definitely be back... probably sooner than we should be!
