    Cheesesteak and fries.
    M. B.

    I ordered here for the first time today. My cheesesteak was delicious and the staff is very nice. I'd order again.

    Stopped in for lunch a couple of times and enjoyed both the sandwiches and pizza. Counter service was very good, dining area was generally clean (you may find a table that has not been cleared yet but the employees will get to it) The decoration is basic and utilitarian for a pizza place.

    So let me start by giving the positive first. The pizza was really good, they definitely didn't disappoint in that area, I also ordered a cheese steak for my coworker and that was good as well! The reason I gave them three stars is because I walked into their restaurant after placing my order on the phone and when I walked in I was the only customer. There were at least 6 ppl in the grill area and one guy talking to his driver about transactions. NO one said anything to me, 2 minutes later another woman walked in and she was leaning against the counter, again no one said anything and at this time I actually made eye contact with the oldest man behind the counter but yet he said nothing. A white woman walked in and less than two minutes the older man asked if he could help her? I'm thinking to myself like wow. After he cashed her out he then helped the lady that was leaning against the counter then she left out. At no point does anyone say anything to me. A woman was into the restaurant and he ask can he help her and then finally I'm like Sr I'm waiting as well, so he mumbles something and then ask me what did I order. I tell him and then he says you don't say anything. ‍, neither did the other two women but you did your job then. He gives me the total which was different from the total that was given to me on the phone and his accuse was its taxes. I'm completely fine with taxes but my issue is when I asked at the end of me placing my order, I didn't say oh give me the total before taxes, I said what's my total? Then when I asked for my receipt, again he made a comment but it was very low so I couldn't make it out what he said. The last thing that irritated me and I'm starting to see this with a lot of places. Why don't restaurants like to give napkins any more, they literally stuff your food in these containers and there's no utensils along with any napkins so I'm suppose to wipe my hands on my clothes or something.

    The pizza is pretty good. The bread is soft with a crunch from the bottom. The workers are mostly middle to older Italian men. They are nice and try to keep the line moving. They have a decent amount seating, which I sat in and the pizza had stringy cheese (I love it). Very clean and a nice interior design!

    Cesar Salad. Huge!

    This is an update since my last review. I went to Covello's once, before the pandemic. I ordered a chicken parmigiana sandwich and French fries. I paid for it and then sat down and ate. The fries didn't come out with the sandwich. They never were served to the table and I wasn't given any to go. So, I was ripped off for fries and I didn't think the sandwich was that fantastic for the hype of the place. Well, I went a couple days ago and it was a very different experience. The man behind the counter was friendly. This time I wasn't asked to pay until I was finished. They didn't have veal parmigiana, so I ordered the chicken parmigiana, instead, despite my experience a few years, earlier. It was excellent. Great sauce. Lots of cheese. Nice breading and a good sized sandwich. I also ordered Cesar Salad which was also fresh, topped with crisp croutons and shaved cheese. Loved the shaved cheese on it. All in all, a much better experience. The dressing was very good. The sandwich and salad was $20.50, but considering the size and quality of the portions, and that inflation is very much alive and well, it was well worth it. I took half home for later.

    In Trenton for a state house meeting and as noon time rushes all I can think of is Tomato Pie. Trenton's Italian community for years has produced awesome Tomato Pie. Janet Evanovich always makes sure that Stephanie Plum not only gets Ranger but that she gets some Tomato Pie. So, I did what any good YELPER does ... I did a YELP search. A 15 minute walk from the Gold Dome was Covello's. Reviews mentioned their Tomato Pie and it was off on a fast pace ... each step had me savoring that special "pizza" that is created from gravy or do Trentonians call it sauce topping a nicely baked dough crust. Perhaps some oregano ... romano ... simplicity in the flavors but when done right oh so special. What a great look from the street ... my mouth started to water this looked like a classic Italian ... you know the kind of place where the guys from that now out of business family group used to hang out ... pizzeria. I walk in ready .... I stare down at the pies on display .... where is my classic Tomato Pie? I see something with basil across the sea of red but more basil than tomato .... where is the simple pie. I almost said can I speak to the pizzaiolo but instead with a look of sadness I asked for tomato pie as if it was kept in a treasure display case elsewhere. The young woman said ... 'that's it.' That's it???? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Having been ready for a couple of slices of TOMATO PIE I really didn't want a basil thing. If I wanted a TOMATO PIE with basil I would order it just like I would order mushrooms on one (Ok, so I wouldn't ever order anything on a Tomato Pie but I just want you to get a sense of what seemed so wrong to me.). So, give me a slice ... and ... she warned me off of their Alfredo pie and I am not quite sure why but perhaps I didn't seem like a creamy sauce type. But, I picked a slice of Buffalo Chicken, which looked like Buffalo Chicken Pizza. And the slices were brought to be table nice and hot. The Buffalo chicken slice was the winner and tasted just like Buffalo Chicken pizza should, which made me happy. The BASIL tomato pie ... well I do like basil it's just that I wanted a TOMATO PIE but the slice was good too. So, the 3 stars are wrapped in my disappointment but lets just say 3 1/2 leaning slightly towards 4 but I won't be back. Next time in Trenton I will again search for a real TOMATO PIE!

    Chicken fajita and Brooklyn ( both solid)
    Vince S.

    This self admitted tomato pie snob enjoyed all three visits here during my several days of jury duty. When I saw Gerald's glowing review I knew this would be my pick for my first lunch break. Walking in I did have deja vu, but it had been so long since I'd been I couldn't recall any details. It was a few minutes before noon and the 8 or so pies looked very fresh. But the daily specials caught my eye too, I still regret not trying that flounder sandwich, it was only offered on that first trip. I selected a slice of Brooklyn and a white offering I had to inquire the pedigree of. It was chicken fajita, and for some reason it looked and sounded appealing( I don't usually stray from more traditional toppings). It was a gamble and the Brooklyn I felt was the sure thing, and it was. A square pie but not Sicilian( they have that as well) the crust was excellent and the red sauce was a bit sweet but the dollops of pesto added some zing. The chicken was even better, despite the ample toppings of roast chicken, onions, tomatoes, peppers,cheese and light white sauce, the crust held it's point with " nary a quiver"( sorry Jerry, had to borrow that phrase:)) All the ingredients were cooked just right and played off of each other well. I was actually surprised by how much I liked it. On subsequent visits I had a pepperoni slice that was very good, better than average meat and the same slightly sweet sauce and legit crust. I also had a nicely done chicken parm hero and considered if I should bring half with me for later. Great roll and great cutlets too. Customer service in all cases was attentive too, if eating in, you place your order and pay and they bring it to your table when ready. They reheated the slices perfectly each time. Had my case lasted longer there is no doubt I'd have gone again( cheesesteak).

    Sausage pie.

    We built up quite an appetite walking around the Grounds for Sculpture in nearby Hamilton so we went off in search of a good pizza. Delorenzo's is closed on Monday. Yelp reviews were excellent on Covello's and I had a vague recollection of grabbing a slice here when I practiced law. The old Mercer County Courthouse is across the street. We ordered a large sausage pie and a to go order of Chicken Francais over linguine. The pizza was really big and really good. Plenty of sausage. Hot pepper flakes available in a shaker were really hot. Much appreciated. My wife really enjoyed her to go order. It wasn't linguine, though. Some sort of broad flat noodle. But a real winner of a dish regardless. Garlic bread and a small salad dressed with a balsamic vinegar came with the order. Excellent. So, if you find yourself on Broad Street in Trenton, give Covello's a try.

    Brooklyn Style Pizza
    Tianna A.

    This is my favorite pizza spot. They have the best pizza in Trenton. I always order the Brooklyn Style pizza. If you wanna have a large gathering this is the best pizza. Especially for kids. This pizza is made to order. Fresh ingredients and the sauce is sweet. It's great for people who suffer from acid reflux. This the only pizza I can eat that don't make me have to sit up all night eating Tums. Please give this a try and they also make great sandwiches as well.

    I've been making my own pizza for 30+ years now, and it's good in its own way but more so really…read moreinexpensive. I wish I could duplicate the Jersey pizza I grew up on a love but hope springs eternal. From time to time I splurge and make my way to Salernos. It is everything I remember and love about pizza growing up in the area. I also enjoy the warm family atmosphere, quality food and reasonable prices, I've had other pizza in the area, not of my own choice, but I can say with all certainty that Salernos is the better option in the area. Buon appetito!

    While on business in the area, my coworkers and I decided to grab lunch here. It's a long time…read morestaple in this area. There were several tables & booths so you can dine in. The decor could use some updating. It was a bit dark, albeit clean. There were too women who appeared to be servers that came over to bring us our menus, which is quite extensive, and take our beverage order. Neither spoke much English, nor understood it very well. One indicated she was new. This place is owned by a husband and wife who are very much Italian. Accent and all. Maria, one of the owners came over to verify our orders since the waitresses were slightly unclear when presenting our orders to the kitchen staff. Our salads that came with the meal were fresh and good. You could also get the soup of the day. Two of us ordered the chicken francaise. One got the veal francaise and the other got a turkey wrap with french fries. Overall, the food was very good. I encountered a slight issue with one of the pieces of chicken. It was still slightly pink on part of it. I let the staff know, and Maria came out and apologized. She had us pick a dessert no charge. My coworker who had the veal said it was slightly tough, but still flavorful. Had my chicken been pounded thin it would've alleviated any under cooking. I digress. When back in the area, I will have to sample their pizza.
