Cheese Pizza...Yuk!
AJ T.

They've gone downhill. It shows in the owner's face. The pizza tastes and looks like Dominos. I'm done giving them chances.

Donna's Pizza may be the heart of Old Palisades Park and holds a special place in my heart. We're regulars, and the vegetarian pie is always our go-to. The crust? Hands down, the star of the show. It's got that perfect balance of crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside - honestly, I could just eat the crust alone and be happy. (And I'm not even a crust person!) The ingredients are always fresh and I love their combination of veggies in their vegetarian pie. I always ask to replace the eggplant with mushrooms though (I don't like eggplants.) They are extremely generous with portions. With 8 slices in a pie you can comfortably feed 4. A steal! There's just something about this place that feels like home, and every time we order, it's like we're getting a little taste of comfort. Probably stems from the nostalgia from my school days where my friends and I would hang out after grabbing a slice or two. It's a kid wallet friendly place and serves awesome specialty pies. They have other Italian staples like pasta and subs. Recently, I tried their meatball and tortellini soup. It was so good!!! (Local tip: their Sicilian pizza is also really good) If you're ever in the area, don't miss out on Donna's - it's the kind of place you'll find yourself coming back to again and again. They don't make places like this anymore. You get speedy service at the counter.

Ordered calamari, chicken parm with spaghetti and a plain slice for my toddler who loves pizza. Picked up food which seemed fresh considering how hot everything was. Spent about $40 which ultimately went down the drain. Calamari was okay tasting, a little chewy.. but there was just something off about the red sauce. Even my son only took a couple of bites of pizza and left the rest which he never does. Chicken parm wasn't very flavorful and the sauce just left an aftertaste like it had been in a container for too long. A shame cause it actually looks really good. Pics are after we finished cause we just didn't want to continue..

Great pizza!

I stopped in to check this pizza spot out and it turned out to be great. This place has been there since 1965 when things were very different in the area. The pizza though took me back to the Bronx in the 60's and 70's when the pizza was so good it made you want to eat a whole pie. The crust was delicious toasty and chewy at the same time with so much flavor. I just happened upon this spot by accident and now it will e my go to spot for pizza. We met the owner while there and he told us about how when they first opened people used to be out in the street socializing and enjoying the company of neighbors. I remember those days and I truly miss them. Nonetheless, I will be back!

#6. Turkey and Provolone Sub with pepperoni
Cris K.

You haven't had a true Italian American sub without having walked in Donna's. Don't let the rundown and outdated appearance without a proper menu on the wall fool you. The recipes are original as they get and true to ones that have made this institution last as long as it has (55 years). My sandwich was loaded, dressed up with lettuce onion and tomatoes generously, and eons better than Subway or any sandwich franchise place can ever make.

Mavi's is easily in my top ten restaurants within the tri-state area. Each visit is memorable, the…read morefood is ALWAYS spot on, and the service is quick and cordial. I noticed that Mavi's has installed wall mounted televisions, which scroll menu items, specials, and upcoming events. This was my first time ordering from their brunch menu and it was outstanding. My Western Omelette (ham, onion, mushroom, pepper, egg, potato, arugula, almond slices) was an excellent choice. Every ingredient was fresh, the eggs were fluffy, and it was accompanied by a side salad and two large slices of multigrain bread. The other items were the artistically presented Avocado Salad (Avocado, tomato, onion crisp, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, arugula mixed salad, almond slices with balsamic glaze and sesame dressing) and the Toowoomba Shrimp Donkatsu (crispy, golden-fried cutlet smothered in a rich, creamy, and spicy Cajun Toowoomba sauce with shrimp, onions, and mushrooms, served alongside a half-portion of pasta). This dish is succulent, creamy, pleasantly spicy, and thoroughly enjoyed. I'll never dine at Mavi's without ordering a Kimchi Bulgogi Pizza (tomato sauce, mozzarella, onion, mushroom, bulgogi beef, kimchi, scallion, spicy mayo drizzle). Not only does every ingredient dance in your mouth, but the soft beet infused crust makes this one of the best pizzas I've happily savored.

I've always wanted to try this place out and finally had a chance to order takeout…read more I ended up ordering the Kimchi Bulgogi Pizza ($20) without onions or scallions. This was a solid Korean fusion pizza. The pink dough was good all the way down to the crust. The Tomato Beef Sausage Pasta ($18) was a little misleading. The beef sausage turned out to be a hot dog. Now, they're not lying since it technically is a "beef sausage," but when I hear beef sausage, I'm thinking of something more along the lines of a meatball or traditional sausage. Had they mentioned in the ingredients that it was a 100% beef hot dog, I would NOT have ordered it. If you like hot dogs in your pasta, then this dish is for you. Overall, I had a good meal, especially the pizza. I'll be back to try their rosé pasta dishes. * The Tomato Beef Sausage Pasta is made with hot dogs in a tomato-based sauce.

The place has been nicely updated and kept fresh with tasteful renovations without loosing its local pizzeria restaurant touch. Service was delivered with a smile and it was good to hear about the original owners Mr and Mrs Franco. My son and daughter had to have a NY pizza in NY - but stated this was better and without the hefty cost and the crazy wait My personal favorites from the past are the cheese pizza and the mussels, and the sausage and pepper heroes This time only was able to eat the pizza since we had already had dinner, honestly it tasted great . Unsure when I'll be back but will definitely make a stop. For reference had gone to school in NYC for 9 years and had plenty of Rays or other NY pizza and Franco's was always my goto. And currently living in Az -- I have enjoyed pizzeria bianco but know what it is like to miss some good old fashioned pizza Thank you Mr and Mrs Franco for the memories

I had been wanting to try the Oxtail pizza for a while when I used to pass the Edgewater location…read moreso I traveled to Englewood. I ordered the oxtail pizza and it was delicious!!! The crust is thin with a sesame sprinkled crust and it was so good that I even ate every single bite of it, which is unusual for me. The oxtail was so flavorful and rich with the cheeses (mozzerella, Parmesan and goat cheese), meat, hot honey and spinach. The ladies asked if I wanted cilantro on top, which was the perfect add of even more flavor. They were so sweet and welcoming. Parking in downtown Englewood can be tough but I took the side street behind the row of stores and found the back entrance to Wahizza. I'm not sure if that's allowed but it made the pizza pick up a very quick and convenient experience. I plan on eating in next time bc the inside was so cute and looked very comfortable. I am definitely coming back.

Most of the staff was very friendly and welcoming, especially the manager. We arrived about two hours before closing and asked if we could sit at the bar to watch the next soccer match after the hostess told us there were no available tables. What was confusing was that the same tables that were empty when we arrived remained empty the entire time and were still vacant when we left as the restaurant closed. Overall, the food and most of the staff were enjoyable, but the experience at the front of the house could definitely be improved.
