Memories...

I grew up on Denino's pizza in Staten Island. What a treat to see Carlo's son carry on the tradition in NJ. A stroke of luck that I even found it. I was actually surprising my son with a Ralph's ice after a baseball game before our long ride home and mentioned how we would always get an ice after Denino's and I look up to see them three doors down. I'm so glad I went in. A chef taking an apple break and the three girls at the front welcomed me in. They along with another customer (Staten Island transplant) said I would not be disappointed. I immediately ordered five pies, uncut and underdone to take on my way. Huge shout out to the pizza maker for knowing exactly what I wanted and making it all to perfection. When we finally got home, we broke out the chicken, bacon ranch (ranch on side and added after heating) and a plain. Oh my gosh, just like I remembered, the crust, the sauce, just the right amount of cheese. Absolutely EPIC! The other three pies (plain, pepperoni, meatball) have gone into the deep freeze (after being completely cooled and re-wrapped outside the cardboard box) and will be savored for another day. Most likely the weekend, who am I kidding? Thank you for a trip down memory lane. And thank you for the friendly hospitality! Do yourself a favor and have yourself a taste of greatness. Trust the crust or as it's said the Denino way "In crust we trust!"

Came on a rainy Thursday. It was very busy. But we got a booth fairly quickly. Been to Denino in Staten Island and NYC. This one is real good. But not quite the other 2 But still real good pizza Waitress and staff were super nice. Also had the meatballs. They were good. Saw plenty of people bringing some wine to sit in dining room. Channeling my Dave Portnoy. I would give it 8.1. Worth the trip

I don't understand what the hype of this place is. We ordered a half margarita/half sausage both with extra cheese. The pizza dough didn't taste good, and the pie was too burnt. I tasted more charcoal then cheese or sauce. We just thought it was mediocre, and wouldn't come back again.

Stopped by to pick up some quick lunch on 7/5/24 and it was pretty quiet. It was easy to order and there is a very simple menu. French fries were great and so was the penne vodka. The penne vodka did have a sweeter note to it and wasn't as creamy as usual. The "garbage" pie was a bit on the drier end but this place did not skimp on the toppings.

Clam pie. So good.

My fav new pizza spot in NJ. We ordered the clam pie with sesame crust and the garbage pie. The crust was perfectly crispy yet chewy. Tons of clams and other toppings in each pie. Fresh ingredients. High quality cheese. Excellent. We will definitely be back! Easy parking as the restaurant is located in a large shopping center. Ample private parking.

Sesame seeeed!

I was so excited to finally try this place but my pizza was burnt and cold and had hardly any toppings on it. Major disappointment.

One of the best Pizzas in NJ. Best when your dinning in. Gets crowded but worth the wait. Get there early.

We stopped in for a delicious Italian dinner, and we were absolutely not disappointed. The…read morerestaurant was beautifully decorated for the holiday season, creating such a warm and inviting atmosphere. They also have a pizzeria conveniently located right next door, which is a nice bonus. The service was outstanding--Alessandro was the best! He recommended his signature cocktail, the Orange Cosmopolitan, and all I can say is WOW. Perfectly made and dangerously good--they definitely sneak up on you! He checked in on us throughout the evening, always friendly and engaging, which truly elevated the experience. The food was just as impressive: Pollo Milanese - a perfectly cooked chicken cutlet topped with fresh mozzarella, arugula, cherry tomatoes, onions, shaved Parmesan, and a bright lemon vinaigrette. Pollo Carbonara - topped with prosciutto, spinach, peppers, and fontina cheese, served over penne pasta. Alaska Chicken (special) - stuffed chicken with shrimp, roasted tomatoes, spinach, and cheese in a rich cream sauce, served with saffron risotto. Absolutely delicious. For dessert, we shared a toasted almond cake and a caramel cheesecake cone--paired with cappuccinos, of course. The perfect ending to a great meal. It was a wonderful evening shared with wonderful people, made even better by Alessandro's exceptional service. Highly recommend this restaurant, and we will definitely be back to try more dishes!

Really enjoyed the evening here the other night! Was celebrating a wedding here and the spread of…read moreItalian classics & pizza was delicious! Live entertained was an unexpected plus! Staff service was as good as the food.

First I would say the staff was welcoming and friendly. The food was good although some dishes were…read morenot as expected (which can be a good thing). The rice balls were made with black rice-quite a surprise when we cut into them! The pulpo was tender and excellent. Both appetizers were very good. If you are looking for spicy Fra Diavolo, I would suggest mentioning to the waiter you want some heat. The Shrimp Fra Diavolo was very good but not at all spicy. The mushroom risotto was very good as well. One of the specials was chicken cutlets with fresh tomatoes, olives, with a light sauce and topped with shaved mozzarella. This was served with roasted potatoes on the side, and it was excellent. The chicken was so flavorful and so tender you could cut it with a fork. Two of us had this special and it did not disappoint. We ended the night with coffee and two desserts. The creme brulee had a coffee flavor and was good. We also ordered a chocolate souffle, which definitely did not resemble anything close to a souffle. The flavor was fine but it flat, almost like a pancake. It was closer to a flatter molten lava cake. (Guess we should have been suspicious when we didn't have to wait extra time for the souffle.) Now for our main gripe. When one of us asked if the special chicken could be made without garlic (due to an allergy), the server said 'of course - nothing is impossible'. This was a lovely response to the request. However, when we received the check, there was a $4.00 charge for 'no garlic'. Really? We eat out in all sorts of restaurants from casual to very high end, and never have we ever seen this. This very small charge left a bad taste in my mouth (no pun intended). For this reason we gave only three stars - nice ambiance inside and outdoor seating under a gazebo, pleasant, friendly service, and good food, but the extra charge for omitting an ingredient was very disappointing.
