    When I'm in the Tri State Area, pizza is an absolute must. And had many people recommend me Garden Pizza. Located inside a shopping center on Bergen Blvd there is plenty of parking. It's not a large place inside but you definitely get the local Italian pizza spot vibe. It was early in the day but it's never too early for a couple of slices. I also grabbed one of their own sodas. Gotta go with Black Cherry all day. The slices are a good size for folding. The flop is almost non-existant. Sauce was tangy and you can hear the crisp on the bite. It was spot on. I even had to hold it in front of me after the first bite just to admire the perfect balance of thin and crispy and not flop. It held steady until I went in for another bite. The Dark Cherry soda was "the cherry on top" as it was another winner. Overall this was a great pizza that I would come back over and over again for. Garden Pizza you got my vote! Great Job!

    We have never had an issue with Garden Pizza until recently. On June 17.2025 at 19:47 we ordered a medium pizza and mozzarella sticks. The pizza was burnt and dry. The mozzarella sticks had breading on them that was raw. It looks like they were dipped in eggs and bread crumbs and never fried. They were cold. We had to throw the entire order out. The food was such a disappointment and we would be hard pressed to order from there again even though we have been long time customers.

    FREEEEEEEE you say???? Yes please! I think I love this place even more than I already do!

    A couple weeks ago when I was I NJ for a work trip, my buddy and I went to hang out at Bar One Public House - it was a Monday night - to watch the Raptors play against the warriors over drinks & eats. EXCEPT when we got there and asked to order food, we were told that the kitchen was actually closed - later found out that the place was just bought out by the new owner who was serving us drinks and the kitchen wouldn't be open until Thurs night - but we were told by the nice and awesome new bar owner that we could order food from anywhere and have it delivered there. So we asked for pizza recommendations and Garden Pizza was one of the top two. We ordered just a plain pepperoni pizza cuz my buddy's a kinda picky eater. 20 min later, the pizza arrived and O. M. G. that pizza was AH. MAY. ZING. I've always been told that pizza from LA is nothing compared to pizza in the east. And God are they right! The pizza from here was super legit. By far, one of the very best pizzas I've ever had! Two nights later, we went back to Bar One with a couple more friends, and we did the same - ordered another pepperoni pizza! And when it arrived, we were so pleasantly surprised because we were also given a free Marguerite pizza (I think that's what it was but I'm not 100% sure cuz I was 3 drinks in by then LOL) - BUT they were both AH. MAY. ZING. Here I am now, yelping while sitting in bed back in California and I am craving their pizza! I cannot wait to go back to NJ cuz I'm definitely gonna indulge!!

    Jimmy took my order over the phone and he was so nice! He introduced himself, where he came from and gave me a little history of the family-run business. Not that he offers this information to every caller that places an order, but I happened to be interested in learning more as I've heard so much about Garden Pizza! The food is delicious and the service is even better. I have absolutely no complaints about this place. It was raining and we didn't want to leave the house with the kids and all. That Philly cheesesteak sandwich and chicken noodle soup really hit the spot! Excellent.

    Does anyone know since they have new owners if the food is still delicious?

    Same family has been running it since it opened.

I know this is an absolute staple in the area and it has its own regulars and cult following. However, if I wanted to go out for Italian food, I would not pick this place. In fact, every time I go here, it's always because of someone else's suggestion. There are some things on here that are fine - the pizza, for example, is sufficient. Their salads are also decent - usually large and fresh. But I've had some of their other hot foods and have been majorly disappointed. The calamari - from a bag, greasy. The grilled chicken panini - no flavor at all. I asked for balsamic vinegar and they had none, which is wild for an Italian restaurant. Even the wine tasted stale the last time I went here. I will give props to the waiters who are always very accommodating and pleasant. The vibe here is nothing fancy - more like a step up from a pizzeria, great to go after a movie or another activity. Like I said, this just wouldn't be my first choice for Italian food because there are much better places in the area, IMO.

    Italian/Latin American fusion has officially burst its way onto the New Jersey food scene, and all…read moreI want to do is ask why. Goodbye Vaporetto the Italian restaurant, hello Vaporetto/Patrona, the doubly named, odd fusion concept. If you jump in your time machine and go back to early January, Vaporetto was a quiet Italian restaurant with pretty decent reviews, a nice view of the city, and good food. Fast forward to now, and the classic white tablecloths and charming old school décor have been replaced with a plethora of neon art and lighting, as well as a gigantic red carpet backdrop when you walk in that you can take photos in front of, should the paparazzi follow you here. We had a reservation for three at 7pm on a Tuesday night. Having eaten here once before I knew it probably wouldn't be busy (the reservation was purely for 100 OpenTable points) but I did not expect so few people. Two, to be exact, sitting a few tables away. They left 10 minutes after we sat down, leaving us the sole patrons for dinner on a Tuesday night. We stared at the menu for a while, confused. Basically all of the Italian food is gone, and the menu now heavily favors the Latin American options. Drinks? Red wine, Montepulciano. As Italian as it gets. Great prices, nice bottle selection, and both of the ones we ordered came perfectly chilled. What better to pair with our Montepulciano than...chips and salsa? Nope. Not Italian. Super confusing for our taste buds. The chips were good but the salsa was too sweet. At one point we almost ordered a pitcher of sangria, but got a taste of it beforehand...also way too sweet. Apps for all of us? We decided to embrace the fusion theme and ordered two Italian and one Latin American dish. Eggplant pasta, grilled calamari, and a trio of mofongo. Working backwards, the mofongo filling was good (two meat and one shrimp) but the plantains were mashed and then fried or baked to look like cups in order to hold the filling. I've never had super crunchy mofongo before. The eggplant pasta was okay; the eggplant itself was nicely cooked, but the sauce was again too sweet and far too oily. The calamari were an interesting shape, and nicely grilled, just a bit bland. Three things that would have improved all three: more spice, less oil, lots of garlic. We ordered dinner after the apps were cleared, and we all went for three fairly different options. We got the parrillada patrona (pretty much a gigantic plate of meats, hot dog included), pechuga rellena, and a whole bronzino. Serving size? Gigantic. I was the one that got the fish, and though the sauce they put on it was bland and generally necessary, it was cooked very well and came with plenty of lemon for the meat. I love a good whole fish, and for $30, this was definitely worth having. The waitstaff was nice, but service was super slow. We got in at 6:45 and ate at a normal pace when food was delivered to us, but we didn't get out until almost 9. We were legitimately the only table there, so it's not like there was a backup in the kitchen...but we weren't in a hurry, so it didn't bother us too much. The theme of the night? Neon. As you can see from my photos, everything is highlighted in this odd neon glow from the lighting that spans the entirety of the restaurant. Vaporetto/Patrona, what are you? I came here for a stuffed artichoke, chicken parmigiana, and maybe some tartufo, but was disappointed to see those Italian classics are now completely absent from the menu. Your Italian roots, your staples, your bread and butter (and yes, literally, your bread and butter) have been abandoned in favor of an odd fusion concept that i'm still a little confused about.

    This review is mainly for their Sunday brunch. My job made…read morea reservation which was made about 1-2 weeks in advance. Price was great, $35 per person for bottomless mimosas (ends at 4PM) and a buffet. What was failed to be informed to us was the horrible service we would receive. Now it makes more sense, we indeed PAYED for what WE GOT! When made the reservation they also failed to tell us it was CASH ONLY. You can imagine a large party of 12+ people arriving and now having to head to a nearby bank, because the atm at the restaurant charges a ridiculous % fee. Our reservation was at 1PM and this place opens at noon for brunch however when we finally sat down at our reserved table around 1:20PM the food buffet wasn't even close to being ready for everyone to begin enjoying their meal. The only time someone came to our table was in the beginning to give us a bottle of champagne with a bottle of OJ, After that we kept having to get up to go to the bar to get a new bottle or juice, as well as any other service. The hookah guy was probably the only one who had attentive service (Hookah $30 and refills $20) The cutlery was pretty gross, some glasses we had to exchange because they had stains on them. The tablecloth was a mess and it looked dirty or simply washed wrong. This doesn't surprise me since the windows were filthy and it was such a shame because the view it's amazing. The food was mediocre, the only thing I enjoyed was the sauce links and thankfully the music was on point. The DJ and the hookah was the ONLY thing I truly enjoyed. They have two restrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs, which I was glad because I did not want to keep having to walk downstairs. I'm not too sure how this place is during the week or when they don't have this brunch special. I don't think I will be coming back soon unless it's a last minute thing just to enjoy the DJ and the mimosas and I will know what to expect.
