To say I was disappointed in this place is an understatement…read more My spouse and I went there more than once and we enjoyed the atmosphere and the food very nice, quiet and respectful place. Unfortunately not today. The server seemed inexperienced and was not attentive to the customer's needs and when she was confronted , she didn't care. The Owner for some reason brought their children to the establishment and they were uncontrollable, yelling and screaming bumping into tables, not a good atmosphere for a restaurant. If you own an establishment, I would suggest hire a babysitter. To have children yelling and screaming, it kills the atmosphere. And ruins the experience. PLUS WE WERE SO CLOSE TO THE OVEN Where they make the pizza so they saw us waiting they LITERALLY served everyone else around us except for our table. Lastly when we were finally served, they only sent us one order MIND YOU only after we complained when we had 4 at the table who ordered and we were waited for said Orders for the past 35 minutes. I TOLD THEM NO...take it back please why would take one order after waiting that long..... That was the last straw for me, I asked for the check and left... No one said sorry and no one cared im hoping the color of our skin wasn't a factor but these days its not impossible. This was a very disappointing, disgusting and unfortunate experience. I will not be returning to this establishment nor recommend anyone to come.

I've been a fan of Nola's since they first opened several years ago. The pizza - and everything…read moreelse - have been, and continue to be, fantastic. This review will focus more on the owner and his staff. Last week I reached out directly to Marc, the owner, as I've done in the past being a loyal repeat customer. My wife and I were hosting a get together at our house yesterday and needed to place an order. Sadly, we needed the order to be picked up before their usual business hours. Marc immediately offered to have his guys come in a bit early just to accommodate our order. When I got there yesterday for pick up, I was greeted warmly and offered an espresso on the house while I waited. What an experience! There are plenty other businesses in this area who would not do this, ever. Marc appreciates the support and loyalty and it truly shows. Of course everything was a major hit with our guests as well. You can pizza many other places, even in the former Nola's location coincidentally. What you can't get is treated like family. Thank you Marc, Steve, and the entire crew!

It is hard nowadays to find such welcoming service in a first visit. The hospitality of the staff and owner was so warming and heart filling that I can't wait to come back with my parents.

This might just become our go to spot monthly.

I was born and raised in NY. There is pizza and then there is NY pizza: this is NY pizza! I moved…read moreto and lived in Cranford for 33 years and this was a consistent "go to" pizza shop (yes, they sell other Italian food, but I go to pizzerias to eat pizza). I recently returned to Cranford for a visit and had to make "my pizzeria" a stop. Upon entering, I was greeted by new and friendly faces. I got engaged in a conversation with Dad of the owner, a man who grew up in the Bronx - where you could find great pizza when I was a kid. I am pleased to say that the new ownership is upholding the New York pizza standard well: if you want genuine NY pizza, this is a worthy stop. Manga!

DoorDash Pizza Diaries - Calabria Pizza…read more Another dash, another slice--because if I deliver it, I have to try it. That's the rule. Calabria Pizza is one of those solid, no-nonsense neighborhood spots that knows exactly what it's doing. The pizza hits that sweet spot: a nicely cooked crust with just the right chew, sauce that's flavorful without being overpowering, and cheese that's balanced--not greasy, not sliding off the slice and ruining your shirt mid-bite (we've all been there). From a Dasher's perspective, orders were ready on time, staff was chill, and pickups were smooth--which already puts them ahead of half the places I visit. From an eater's perspective? This is dependable, classic pizza you'd happily order again on a random Tuesday when cooking feels like a personal attack. Is it trying to reinvent pizza? Nope. Is it doing the fundamentals right? Absolutely. If you're ordering through DoorDash or grabbing a slice in person, Calabria Pizza is a safe bet--and in the pizza world, that's high praise. Final verdict: out of 5 Reliable slices, good balance, and Dasher-approved efficiency. I'd dash it--and eat it--again.

The owner was friendly as soon as we walked in and told us it would be about 8 minutes for the pizza- super fast! I would be surprised if he even crossed the minute mark before it was in the oven. Great conversation with the owner while we waited, and learned he had a spot near Asbury Park before moving here and opening this location. They do some cool things like "2 foot slices" (for those days you only want a slice lol). Countless specialty pies if you are in the mood for unique offerings. A large cheese pie is less than what you would pay at a chain- that's a huge win win- support local! After getting our hot pizza, my wife and I knew 2 bites in that we would be coming back. Great flavor on the sauce and quality cheese. They cook their pies half in the pan and half on the stone and the crust is almost airy with just the right amount of crunch at the end. We loved talking to Joe about his fav spots in NJ and NY- and he is a pretty humble owner that gives flowers to the spots that he thinks are doing it right. Will definitely be back! Pro tip: Don't be embarrassed when Joe asks if you need a box for leftovers and you realize there are no leftovers!
