The Original Grandma Pizza
Drew O.

I've been here over 20 times. Sometimes they have school orders and can't fill locals orders for hours. They were out of pepperoni today. At least a half dozen times they overcharge $2.50-$3.50 for a topping on a personal pizza and neglect to even put the toppings on the pie. I make a lot of money and would never complain but i won't spend money here anymore. Dominoes is down the road and better.

What I ordered

My order was not what your picture shows. Boiled pasta drowning in jarred vodka sauce, more like pasta vodka soup. Maybe you should change your menu pictures to reflect your actual food. Not ordering from here again.

Amazing slice of grandmas pizza. Soooooo good. Best grandmas I have ever had.
J W.

Recently moved back in the area and the grandmas is better than ever. Now live farther away than before and still make the drive to get it. There is more cheese than I remember from back in the day. It is topped with chunks of tomatoes, which I sometimes don't like at other places but they stew them or something because they are perfect. Nice seasoning and great overall taste. We almost always stop in for a slice now and they do a great job with that. Always a perfect crunch on the bottom. Moving up the list of favorite pizza in the state.

Grandma pizza
Mike H.

My favorite pizza place in town. The Andrew pizza is an insanely rich delight with bacon, vodka sauce, and ricotta. The Grandma pizza is also fantastic. Both are 10/10 and the rest of the slices are 8/10. The trick is to arrive right when the pies come out. Also, incredibly low prices.

Clementes specialty
Gladys R.

Yummy Hawaiian personal pizza. I was looking around the area for a small personal Hawaiian pizza but they usually only make large pies because it is a specialty pizza but Clemente's accommodate my order . They are very friendly and the service was great. The pizza was delicious and I was able to try one of their rice balls I totally recommend them yummy

Half pans of broccoli with cavatelli, penne alla vodka and chicken parm. Yum!
Amy O.

Clemente's does a thriving pizza business but we ordered 3 half pans of pasta/chicken to go. The penne with vodka was remarkable. Adults loved. Finicky kids loved. We demolished that dish. Chicken parm was also great and we liked that they cut the chicken breasts in big pieces which was good for a big group if some folks just wanted a taste (but you WILL go back for seconds). The third dish of cavatelli and broccoli wasn't bad. It just lacked a little flavor (that could be fixed with a little more garlic, olive oil and salt). Honestly, it was probably just the contrast to the first two dishes that were so rich and bursting with flavor. We would look forward to ordering from here again and definitely will add a pizza next time because I fully expect the buzz is worth it. But don't overlook the pasta alla vodka and chicken dishes which were pretty impressive. I hope there are leftovers for breakfast.

We had the Grandma pie. It was tasty. A lot of the pizza in this area is like cardboard. This was good. I would totally come back here.

I was looking for a well rated Italian restaurant in Union County and Lupa Ristorante came up on…read moremany lists so I decided to check it out with friends. Lupa is located in a section of Berkely Heights that has seen a lot of recent construction, so it is very pretty and clean. You couldn't be blamed if you bypassed the restaurant. It is not very flashy looking and that is part of its charm. Be warned, there are not a lot of parking spaces behind the restaurant so you may wind up parking in the bank parking lot next to it (when the bank is closed of course). The staff at Lupa is super friendly and treats you like a regular even if this is your first time. The host was super nice, the waitress fantastic and the chef even came to our table to talk to us when we were done eating! The interior is very clean and modern looking. It's elegant and perfect for virtually any event including dates, anniversaries and family get togethers. We wound up sitting in the same area as the bar, which mostly has 2-4 seater tables and of course you can sit at the bar as well. The other side of the restaurant is where the larger tables are located. Here's a rundown of what we had: CLAMS ON TOAST Baby clams. crispy ham. thyme When I ordered this, I expected to see slices of toast with crispy ham and baby clams on top. Instead, it is two large pieces of wonderfully toasted bread with crispy ham on top. The actual clams sit in a *delicious* broth. Taken altogether these various components form a delicious bite. Be sure to dip that bread into the broth! SQUID INK SPAGHETTI lobster knuckles and claws. broccoli florets. grape tomatoes. Sherry Cream Sauce This dish has a wonderfully deep and earthy flavor. I've had squid ink pasta before and this was a wonderful example of it. The sauce was perfect and it was cooked beautifully. HANGER STEAK Truffled pomme frites. Chimichurri The steak was beautifully cooked (we had it medium rare) and the chimichurri sauce was great. However, the steak needed a bit more salt (and I'm not usually one to add salt to food). The pomme frites were wonderfully crispy and tasty. BROCCOLI RABE lemon. Kilos Broccoli rabe is a simple side dish but it is one of my favorites. It is also one that can easily be overcooked. These folks cooked it perfectly and it made for a fantastic side dish. My party and I loved our experience at Lupa and we all agreed we would happily return any time!

I had the Dover sole and it was one of the best Dover soles I've had. Also extra credit for providing a proper fish knife and fork. Octopus had a spicy sauce that was excellent. I appreciated the fact that they don't over season their food like many restaurants do. Inside was modern and nice. I liked the rose on every table. Service was so very friendly without it being overbearing. The chef came out twice to say hello and check on us which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Lupa.

From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Our server was attentive and professional, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and quietly classy--ideal for a relaxed lunch and conversation. I started with the Candy Roaster Squash & Coconut Soup, a vegan dish with a warm, sweet, and hearty flavor profile. It was absolutely perfect on a cold winter day. For my entrée, I ordered the Brewer's Burger with pepper jack cheese, caramelized onions, pickles, lettuce, tomato, rosemary aioli, and a side of frites. The flavors came together beautifully--salty, sweet, and savory notes all working in harmony. Truly a dance in your mouth. One additional detail worth noting: the gender-neutral accessible restroom was spotless and had a very pleasant odor. It was top-notch, just like everything else about this restaurant. I would absolutely return.

The Nashville Hot Fried Chicken Quesadilla had solid heat, melted pepper jack, pickles for snap, and a ranch drizzle that kept it balanced. The food was strong across the board, and their lineup of in-house brews added a unique twist. We enjoyed the visit and will absolutely come back to explore more of the menu.
