    Buffalo chicken pizza and ziti
    Yesenia M.

    If you're looking for some authentic cuisine, this is a must! COMETS PIZZA is the OG of pizza in Hillside! Totally worth any trip to come over and have a nice slice, a pasta dish, or an incredible chicken Parm! You don't want to miss this spot! The staff is incredibly sweet and the location is family friendly and also provides a separate eating space for a night out dining.

    The dining room
    Brett I.

    Quite possibly the best pizza I have ever tasted... well let's be honest it was the best. Not being from this coast I've heard tales of how the pizza on the east coast is better and obviously this place stands up to the hype of the pizza. The bathroom needs to be talked about specifically because it was immaculate and tidy and smelled so nice. I went to wash my hands before I ate and was so impressed on how clean it was. The dining room was cute and super clean too it was next to the place where you order so don't be fooled when you walk in I don't know why they had the other room but maybe it was for to go orders but it doesn't matter I sat down and they brought all the stuff to eat to me. One down side for me though I would have liked a soda machine like the ones that pour into the cup not the bottles, not a major thing but it would have made that feeling of being in a real pizza place like when I was a kid come back. We don't have those places anymore they used to be everywhere. But hey like I said GO EAT HERE! It was delicious and to the owner or people if you read this know I took my leftover pizza home with me on a 7 hour trip back to the west coast. It made it safe and sound and I kept getting asked for a slice from everyone on my trip home. But I held my ground pizza this good I wasn't about to share!

    Chicken Parmigiana, ziti, and garlic knots.
    Aisha E.

    Their pizza is good, but I come here for the chicken parmigiana it is soooo good, and the portion is huge. I've been coming here for 10 years and this is the only place I come to for the above meal. It's summertime and too hot to be turning an oven on, so Comet's is my place for baked ziti or chicken parm.

    Spaghetti

    Food was exceptional, Great Pizza, spaghetti and meatballs, tiramisu. Will definitely return next time I am in town.

We have been coming here for a while and always get the honey butter rice balls without fail. The crunch on the outside and chewy texture on the inside is perfect and we love the sweet taste. I would pass on the bibimbap next time, it was kind of bland and the crispy rice was burnt instead of golden. The japchae was the star of the meal. So much flavor, perfect cook of the noodles, and thin beef. If I wasn't sharing dishes, I would get this all for myself. Lastly, we got the regular size of soy garlic chicken, which was 12 pieces because they were out of the big drumsticks. The crunch was great with perfectly cooked chicken on the inside. I don't like that they charge extra for sauce but honestly this meal was such a bargain. A meal for 4 under $100 at a nice restaurant is rare. The service was fine, refilled our water on time but our waiter could've been more attentive overall. Ambiance is always great with a retro vibe and cool lighting.

I dared to try the cauliflower wings (half & half), which actually wasn't bad. Both flavors was good, although I personally like the spicy better (just make sure you can handle it, although it won't be too bad if you're used to spicy food). Garlic fried rice was okay, but not the best. Also seems like they don't give you a side of pickled radish at this point, but maybe that's because we're in Jersey. Also the kimchi fries weren't what I expected. What the fries were crispy and tasty, they just give you a tiny cup of kimchi cheese sauce. Maybe I'm spoiled, but I expected the fries to be way more loaded. I ordered for pickup and it did take a lot longer than expected. I also felt sorry for the hostess, who was running around trying to help. There also was 5 people just standing around chatting, but the music was just a tad too loud to hear anyone trying to get their attention. I'm sure dining in would be a chill vibe, but can still have that and have it all together yk? Last thing is I definitely asked for bacon mustard sauce and heard them confirm over the phone, a bit annoyed they forgot that!

This restaurant looks great. There is a nice counter area to order, a really nice seating area inside and even outdoor seating. Some of the decor makes you feel like you're in a household's kitchen. By the cashier there is a table you can wait at complete with local newspapers. It's very charming. This was my first visit and I ordered my food to go. I had two key dishes. The first was hummus with falafel, which is very standard for me whenever I go to any Mediterranean place. When I opened the take out box at home I was really surprised. Most places give you a good amount of hummus, but here it was basically a thin layer. Kind of like a layer of mayo on a sandwich (maybe a tad thicker). Then on top of the hummus was a huge layer of pickled vegetables and tiny pickles. This was a surprise. I've had hummus orders from a lot of restaurants before and I've *never* seen this on an order before. Then the falafel balls were on top and well...they were really dry and didn't have much flavor. Now, sometimes you can cover that up by just coating the falafel in hummus, but there wasn't enough hummus to do that. The dish was just disappointing all around. The other dish I tried were the Lemon Potatoes. They were good! The lemon flavor was strong and they were cooked well. Not the best example in the area, but they would do in a pinch. At some point I'll give this place another try. Maybe this was a fluke (at least I hope so).

All the dishes were fantastic, but the standouts for me were the seared octopus (deliciously charred!) and bacon wrapped dates (addicting little sweet & savory bites). When we were ordering, we were also curious about the paella, but in the end, the minimum order of 2 servings at $29-35pp felt too high. Drink options are plentiful, and we were surprised that not only do they offer pitchers of sangria, but also spritzes. We ordered the Hugo Spritz (light, refreshing elderflower spritz), and the pitcher was just perfect for sharing for 4. Lovely spot overall, and would love to come back again for a nice dinner out.

The photos and videos that you see on instagram do not match what you see when you arrive. The restaurant itself feels gimmicky and thrown together.

The drink selection (especially if you're a rum drinker) was limited. The rum cocktail that I settled on was awful. The manager/owner? stopped by our table and greeted my husband, shook his hand but completely ignored me.... Very strange. Not a big deal for us, but if you are not used to paying $10 for water, an included gratuity or an additional "service fee", get used to it while dining here. The reason for the three stars you ask?

Besides our assigned server Nicole and the manager, the staff at Casa De Lobo that we interacted with seemed generally friendly and happy to serve us.
