Ordered Francescas for our company lunch and they really took care of us! Pizzas were hot and delicious and their garlic knots were out of this world! Definitely the best traditional pizza place in Edison hands down!

SO GOOD! I walked in and was a little overwhelmed but they explained all the pizzas and recommended grandmas pie. It was phenomenal!!! 10/10. I forgot what the cheese pizza was, white maybe?, it was good too but I don't think anything will beat grandma. If I'm ever back in the area, I'd make a point to return.

We picked up pizza to go next door to Canvas and Grapes event! Everyone raved about the pizza! It was yummy! Parking on site

Another stop for The Pizza Beast, this time in Edison, NJ, checking out Francesco's Pizzeria. The place has that classic Jersey local feel--tight interior, a bit chaotic, and the crew knows everyone by name, which gives it charm despite the awkward cashier setup and cramped shared parking lot. The Chicken Caesar slice came out strong, stacked with full grilled chicken pieces and great flavor. But the Shrimp Scampi? Mid at best--too much cheese, soft dough with little crunch, barely any sauce, and light toppings. Friendly vibes, but uneven execution. The Pizza Beast verdict: solid local stop with heart, but not top-tier--6.8/10.

I can write a dissertation on this pizzeria but I will digress with a paragraph. Let me start off by saying this pizza, the staff and the restaurant were beyond expectations. The place was busy and I see why, the pizza was absolutely phenomenal. Just the right amount of sauce, cheese and the crust was perfect. We also ordered a grilled shrimp caesar salad which was by far the best freaking salad I've had in a while. The only downside was the wait for food that wasn't pizza but it was definitely worth the wait. Would come here every day if I wasn't trying to watch my figure lol.

So here we go again! Menu said 14 inch sub, got 12 inch. Called about the difference and they stated new bread supplier. Ok! The bread was terrible! Not only shorted but bread roll was very hard! Less meat as well. Will not order subs here.

I was in the area for one night and was craving a chicken parm sub. This place is on GrubHub and it did not disappoint. I also ordered a zeppelin, because why not? They're delicious. The sub came hot as did the zeppoli. Both portions were huge; I could have split the meal with someone! One thing I really liked about the sub is that the chicken was in slightly larger than bite-sized chunks so it was easier to eat. The sauce was excellent and there was the right amount of cheese. The bread was delicious anddidn;t get too soggy. The zeppoli was so good; you can tell they make their own dough. It was lightly fried, so really soft interior. I was full from the sub, but there was no way I wasn't going to finish this delicious treat. From order time to delivery, it was 25 minutes. They have an extensive menu for all appetites and desires. I you want great Italian-American cuisine, or even a burger, they have you covered.

Absolutely the worst pizza I've ever had. It was cheese and crust. No tomato sauce anywhere.

I cannot explain why it took 7 years after Florence, Italy natives Alberto Buglione and Ivan…read moreGuarducci took over this restaurant for me to visit. It is outstanding! Over the years I have heard nothing but good from friends -- "Excellent" "Exactly like they make it in Florence!" "Best Italian food I've ever tasted." I went with a party of four. For appetizers we split the Polpo E Patate (grilled octopus & potatoes) and Patate Fritte (French fries). The octopus was amazing, tender almost like perfect scallops with a tasty pesto. The French fries with herbs, garlic bread crumbs and pesto were crunchy, tasty, delicious. For mains my companions had Branzino with eggplant carponata, an amazing 4-cheese Gnocchi, and swordfish. I tasted all, and all were spot on; everyone loved their main course. I had Linguini Vongole (clams and linguini); the clams were perfect - tender and tasty; but the star of the show was the homemade linguine, seasoned perfectly and cooked to al dente perfection. We finished with cappuccino and Tiramasu. The service was excellent. Attentive and quick, and our waitress, Merin, was able to answer every question about the menu with authority, and even about the ingredients and preparation. The ambiance is understated, relaxed, and what you hope for when enjoying a special meal. I am quite stingy in passing out 5-Star ratings; I reserve them for the best of the best, for restaurants where I'm confident readers will also enjoy an outstanding meal. Mangia Toscano is clearly 5-Star; it is *the* must-do restaurant in Metuchen.

The food, service, and atmosphere were definitely a vibe! Everything about the experience was…read moreenjoyable from start to finish. I had the Salmon and the Gnocchi Al Pesto, and both dishes were delicious, savory, and full of flavor. The staff was attentive, the ambiance was great, and the overall experience made me want to come back again. Highly recommend!

Brooklyn Boys is my favorite pizza place of all time! I drive from Virginia to eat there and pack…read moreup a few pies to bring back home. I have family members that aren't partial to pizza, but they try to fight me for the last piece of a Brooklyn Boys pie. If I'm visiting NYC, I stop here first for good pizza. The crust, cheese, and sauce-on-top is what makes this pizza the best. I've never had a pizza crust like this, and I love how crisp it is. I usually have to ask for pizza "well done" at other places, but never here. I love the taste of the sauce (not too herby or too sweet) and that it's put on top of the cheese. The cheese is the perfect texture, has a great taste, and always comes out nicely browned. The interior of the restaurant is small and seems more geared towards lunchtime diners grabbing a slice, but there are at least 2 tables that sit 4. There's also a few tables outside. They don't sell any alcohol but I can forgive that. It can feel a little off when you walk in (usually no one greets you and it's quiet like a library) but it's not a big deal. On my last visit, the entry door was propped open so it was pretty hot and humid inside. Of course, this didn't stop the pizza from being the best. I am eagerly anticipating my next visit to Brooklyn Boys pizza. I wonder how many pies I can fit in the car next time.

Updated review from two years ago, I tried the a margarita pizza yesterday after taking a…read moresabbatical. I am lowering my rating because the pizza crust isn't the same. Please note that you may like this type of "thin crust". The bottom of the crust felt and tasted like maybe it's over coated with cornmeal; the texture felt gritty crunchy. This would work if anyone prefers this texture. The sauce just tasted like it was freshly ladled over (no oven baked in flavor). The topping left very little space for the crust edge. I am still stuck on how unfamiliar the crust texture was. I am used to thin crust texture from raised bread dough not a corn-meal like feel. Another reviewer was also baffled with the crust. Reheat review: unfortunately, was not convincing to nudge up the rating. From tip to mid way of the slice, the structure was floppy. From mid way to the edge of the slice: structure held up. Flavor was still good, maybe now better tasting bc sauce now tasted baked in because of the re heating. Service was on time.
