My favorite Italian restaurant! The tomato sauce is delicious. I could eat it with a spoon.

Last night, we ventured into what I thought was a simple pizzeria, only to discover it was, in fact, a full-fledged restaurant--with ambitions far greater than its nearly empty dining room suggested. In a space occupied by exactly four diners (including us), we were promptly asked if we had a reservation. I almost apologized for not booking six weeks in advance for this exclusive, high-demand experience. Then came our server, who seemed to believe we were all running a construction site together. Every sentence was punctuated with "boss," to the point where I started wondering if I was about to get assigned a shift schedule. I half-expected him to hand me a clipboard and ask if I approved the latest inventory order. Despite the unexpected managerial responsibilities, the food was solid, and once the initial awkwardness faded, the service landed somewhere between "acceptable" and "I guess I'll allow it." Overall, it was a good meal with a side of unintentional comedy. Would I return? Absolutely. But next time, I'll wear a hard hat and call ahead--just in case. read more

If you are in the area, you must stop here and eat! The food is perfect with very generous portions. The chicken piccata, personal pepperoni pizza, bread trio, Italian blood orange soda, finished it off with a cappuccino and almond cake. The ambience, quiet, clean open and airy with actual cloth napkins and table cloths. read more

La Terrazza - a plate of clams with a glass of wine - Pizza Near Me - East Windsor, New Jersey

Went here recently after a hard week at work to treat myself, got 2 slices for the drive home and some calamari after i got back. Slices were alright, not greasy and decent taste. When I got home and popped open the calamari, what one earth was that. Absolutely no breading or seasoning whatsoever. The little bit of sauce I got was the only thing saving it, but there was barely even enough of that. Wildly disappointing. read more

Zero hospitality. Very rude person at the front desk. Just came here to try this place out and asked if the slices in the front are the only ones they have for the night. Was answered so rudely and told me to order a fresh pie. Just wanted a pepperoni slice. So rude! Laugh as you turn your back. Never coming here again. read more

Absolutely love this place! We usually order take out or pick up. It looks very cozy and nice inside. The staff is always very friendly and helpful! Their food is absolutely amazing! I also love buying their pizza dough it's always so fresh! read more

The food was very good. It isn't just typical Italian fare, it's a step above! The service was very good as well. Try it out, you won't be disappointed! read more

Excellent food and atmosphere! We enjoyed their generous helping of veal Parmesan and eggplant Parmesan, along with calamari for appetizer. BYOB! read more

The food is decent, but customer services and accommodation is awful. Went there once with the family for a sit down dinner. Mind you that this place isn't anything fancy. Just a regular pizza joint you can find anywhere in jersey. We were a large party. 10 of us. The place was near empty and yet they begrudgingly sat us down. The vibe was as if they didn't want to have a large party at their restaurant and that they didn't like having little children there as well. Either way, food was decent enough to return back. My second attempt to visit the restaurant I called a head to make reservations at this pizza joint. Who makes reservations at their local pizza joint? Ha! Exactly...Oddly enough though, the person whom answered the phone at the restaurant wanted to know the party size (12) and if we had children (5). After replying, we was told there were no reservations left for the night for my party. Little weird considering we were trying to have dinner at 5pm...but OK, a little strange, no problem. Since we legit live around the corner we happen to drive by the restaurant and saw that the place was near empty as we were going to another location for dinner. And as we were heading back home from our other location, the same thing! Their restaurant was near empty! After talking about this with other people, this establishment has not only done this to me, but other members of my family who attempted to eat there and other members of the community. It's a very bad look for a small local joint that isn't anything fancy. The way they handle covers you'd think their some fancy modern Italian joint in Princeton or NYC. It's comical. Its a local pizza joint! Not even brick oven for crying out loud. Ha! Either way, never going back there. These guys don't like money nor do they like to work. Go to scottos instead if your in the area. At least theyre legit off the boat Italian with better food and no issues with seating. Just walk right in and grab a bite. No issues. The way it should be. read more

Not bad, but very expensive for the quality. Service was a little slow but polite. Food was hot but nothing special. Not a terrible experience but not in a hurry to go back. read more

Great food Great Service Great Music Playing just bring your own wine they'll bring the rest read more

I've been here twice. Once to buy a gift card and the guy asked me if I wanted a slice while I waited. The second time was for a little lunch date and the food was amazing. Place is cute inside. Service is great. read more

I been bring my family at La Teraza. Beautiful place. Starting from the minute you walk in to the time you leave...excellent...

Their hot subs are fantastic here... the godfather blew me away on long crispy garlic bread with a sweet balsamic glaze. Would recommend the meatballs here, very tender and tasty. Pizza is hit or miss on flavor but has potential. Clean, nice interior for dining. Prices are a bit higher than long-standing Scotto's down the road, but more interesting entrée options here that I have yet to try. Service has been both rude and friendly at times. Would just ask for better consistency overall since there are a plethora of pizza places to choose from in the area. read more

There is an important part to a neighborhood restaurant that not many people see or talk about, and that is heart. Not only is the food and pizzas great here. The owners have heart. My family has started a foundation in honor of our little warrior who left us at the age of three from Leukemia. When my daughter when in to see if they would be willing to donate a gift card, they did not even hesitate for a split second the generosity and down right love they showed is only equaled by their great food. We have been eating here for years , but I can tell you we will not even consider another local Italian restaurant   Come for the food, stay for the love. read more

If you think you've had the best pizza ever, think again. This pizza was an absolute treat! Such a great place to go when you want good vibes and the most friendly staff! My family and I enjoyed this place so much, we might have to drive up again just for the pizza. read more

Amazing food! Ordered a calzone which was huge and delicious! Ordered an antipasto which was amazing. We also got 20 wings extra crispy, not sure how they do it but crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside! Highly recommend! It's now my new favorite Italian restaurant in the area. Can't wait to try the other menu items. read more

Pizza good but very very Overpriced for toppings $ 6 for broccoli that costs $1.49 and guy bitching to me about how things went up. Don't rob your customers. Won't buy again! read more

Ordered a few dishes to go and was quite impressed with the portion sizes. Loved the chicken parmesan over linguini. It came with multiple slices of chicken and a side of salad. We also got the chicken wings which were excellent. Unfortunately though, the calamari was soggy by the time we ate it so I can't give an accurate review of that. My dad ordered the veal parmesan which he devoured. We also ordered 2 kids meals: butter linguini and pasta with 1 meatball. Everyone kept complimenting how good the food was. This was the first time for most of us since we heard it opened not to long ago. They were very generous with the bread and when they found out our order was in celebration of my dad's birthday, they threw in 8 cannolis, one for each of us. Now that's great service! Also, since the order was so big, they put everything in one big box and one of the workers carried it to the car for us. Looking forward to trying their pizzas one day. read more

One of our fav places lately! Fell upon the place while visiting a Christmas lights display up the street! I decided to try it basted on the fact that they have taken up 3 spots in the plaza! No one would pay rent for 3 if it wasn't good food! We loved it! Last night was our second! I notice everyone there is treated like family! Owner and his wife were so kind to us the first time and just as nice this second time! Place is immaculately clean and has superb food! Def not just a pizza join! I had wings dry and they were perfectly cooked, delicious! I also had a Stromboli that was delicious! My bf had the chicken parm which was great! His brothers had chicken Picatta and grille chicken Cesar wrap! They loved it! The ones wife had chicken tenders and fries! We can't say again how great it was! The dinners came with a nice little salad too! The bread on the table is amazing! Tiramisu, almond cream cup and chocolate pudding and cannoli delicious too! Espresso machine is great too! I can't wait to go back honestly! Last time bf had the seafood broiled combo with shrimp, salmon and squid! He loved it! Next time I'm going to try the mussels! read more

La Terrazza is a cozy pizzeria located in a quiet shopping mall along Rt. 33. The interior is very clean and well kept and the staff is super friendly. I ordered three slices: a plain, a marinara, and a Margherita. All of the slices were great! The marinara slice had a rich, tasty sauce with delicious fresh garlic and a nice, crunchy crust. The bottom of the slice was perfectly golden brown. The plain slice featured a slightly sweeter sauce, an excellent thin crust, with a pleasant, salty cheese. The plain also had a crispy, brown base. The Margherita slice had a gooey, milky mozzarella with the same fresh and delightful sauce as the marinara slice. I was very pleased with the pizza at La Terrazza and can definitely recommend it to you. read more

Absolutely delicious!! Could not have been better!! I have not had a bad meal here. We had the Haddock/Shrimp Francese special

What a fantastic meal we just had. Our table shared, Caprese salad, fried artichoke hearts, and cheesy garlic bread appetizers, all of which were fresh and fantastic. As an entrée one of our members got the lobster ravioli with vodka sauce with baby shrimp, and it had so much shrimp in it. It could've been a meal on its own, and then I got the grilled jumbo shrimp over rice with spinach with a side of meatballs, and the spinach was so fresh, and the shrimp and meatballs were cooked perfectly. Be aware that you have to BYOB if you want wine or anything like that We finished our meal off with two chocolate mousse cups, and cappuccinos that were fabulous. The owner, waiter, and trainee waiter were attentive, friendly, and could not have given us better service. It was a fantastic meal overall, and we cannot wait to come again. read more

I must preface this by saying that I've only had pizza slices from here. I've never tried any of the entree's or sandwiches, nor did I have the urge to, because this is just a place by my work to grab a quick bite once in a blue moon. Having said that - plain slice is solid, meat lovers is ok but kind of whatever, and the gourmet slices (not much to choose from) are average at best. This is definitely more of a place to stop by if you just so happen to be driving past and you want a quick slice, it'll do the job. However, it's not the type of place you excitably talk with your coworkers about getting for lunch. Side note, not their fault, but the parking lot exit to the strip mall it's in is ridiculously inconvenient. Hard to explain, but you'd understand what I mean if you ever went there. read more

At this restaurant, you are treated like family. The service is great and the food is amazing. Make sure you check out the specials, because while the main menu has delicious classics, the specials are on another level. read more

After countless orders and chances, to say this place is "hit or miss" would be a huge understatement. Prices excluded, I don't think anyone would mind paying higher prices for food, as long as they get what they paid for. Wouldn't consider myself a "regular," but have been there more enough that some of staff recognize me, which would lead me to believe that I would at least obtain a quality product. Nothing more, nothing less. I wanted to be sure, so I had someone else place an order for me, and then I compared the product, which was a rib eye steak sandwich. The sandwich that I order contains more filler (peppers, onions and potatoes) than meat, and the "meat" is mostly fat. So very disappointed. Message received. read more

Very good pizza. Fried calamari and rice balls are also good. Called ahead and order was ready in 20 minutes. Staff were all wearing masks and they have plenty of room to social distance while waiting for your order. read more

Ordered food to go (on a Friday). Arrived in 15 minutes as quoted but food wasn't ready, which is okay we did not mind waiting. Especially since they were clearly busy. Front desk girl was nice and rang us up as soon as we arrived. The dining room looked busy. As they handed us our food the manager or could have been owner we aren't sure, started yelling and cursing at one of the cooks to stop whatever he was working on and "f****** make the pizza that they have been waiting for an hour for and that you f***** up on." Awkward and unprofessional, the girl in the front hurried and handed us our food at that point. You don't yell and curse at your staff, especially in the front ( he was right where the pizzas are behind the glass) where customers are waiting. Margherita pizza was okay not worth how much they charge and the fried sliced mozzarella was soggy and not seasoned, again for how much it costs not worth it. Also the bread that they give you is literally pieces of pizza crust. The wings weren't tossed in the sauce we had to toss it ourselves. I'll go down the street to scotto's. read more

Overall a good pizza,'especially the works. I would recommend delivery or pick up. Call ahead because they seem slow to address customers when you walk in read more

By far the best pizza in the area. Don't believe it is even close. Have yet to have a bad pie and have tried many different ones and many times each. Always perfect crust, no flop when you pick it up, crunchy on the outside. The toppings are top notch. We also love their hot subs and salads. Our go to place for Italian since they opened up. Staff is always very friendly and courteous. read more

I wish I could give 2000 stars. I cannot say enough about Sal and his restaurant! The food is always delicious, service is amazing and Sal and his wife are just genuinely good people. I will pass 5 closer Italian restaurants in our area to give business to La Terrazza. You will not be disappointed! read more

I have been going to La Terrazza since it opened. I was desperately seeking a local alternative to a neighboring competitor because, as a Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, NY native, that other place leaves much to be desired. So when La Terrazza opened, I just had to try them out. I haven't had a chance to enjoy a sit-down dinner yet, but I have tried two meals. The first, a simple meatball hero which was custom ordered and served to perfection. Then their pizza which is probably the best I've had in well over 15 years. My pizza order is usually the same, give or take a topping here and there, but for the most part I order a large pie with slightly less than normal mozzarella. I omit any extra grated cheese that is sometimes sprinkled on your average pizza. Toppings are usually pepperoni, mushrooms and black olives. Maybe an extra sprinkle or two of oregano. I request the pizza be cooked on the light side, then when it comes out, I add cold marinara sauce to the entire pie. The heat of the pizza not only heats the extra sauce, it helps blend it right into the toppings. By now, the guys all know me by "order", especially Giuseppe who usually declares my order as I walk into the store. I really have to praise Giuseppe who is such a kindhearted young man and who is not only a credit to the business but a very helpful employee who always makes everyone who walks in feel like family. Lastly, when they first opened, they didn't offer delivery. The good news is they do now! Delivery is available between 4:00 PM and 10:00 PM daily. So I'm definitely going to give that a shot very soon. My only concern with delivery is the potential of receiving cooled or cold food. I'll post a delivery update -- maybe tomorrow or sometime over the next few days. **DISCLAIMER** I am in no way affiliated with La Terrazza nor am I a friend or relative to any persons who work there. I'm just a customer who appreciates businesses, and especially employees of those businesses, who truly go out of their way and take that extra step for their customers. It makes a world of difference to me, and as such, this is how I show my appreciation and gratitude. read more

Fresh High Quality Ingredients! While working in the area we chose to grab a Pie one day & the next day we dined in for lunch. With so many Pizza choices in the area, this restaurant stands out just a bit more. The Pizza crust had a delightful crunch & taste unlike many others. The sauce tasted like the tomatoes were picked straight off the vine. The Mozzarella Cheese was perfectly creamy with no bubble gum consistency. We ordered half mushrooms & they were very tasty. The next day we ordered the Garlic Bread with Mozzarella appetizer it was worth every naughty calorie! My coworker & I both got the Chicken Francese with Sautéed Spinach. I opted out of the pasta because they don't have angel hair; (And gave us room for dessert !) The chicken was very tender & the sauce was less lemony but not a deal breaker. The Spinach was perfect & tender as well. (No chewy or stringy stems here). We got a Cannoli & the Tartufo. (Yes we indulged!) The cannoli crust must be homemade because it's unique to this restaurant. The Tartufo had chocolate, strawberry & pistachio ice cream & having had this dessert in many places, it was a cut above in flavor. I didn't see Caesar salad on the menu but the garden salad that came with our meal was cool & crisp with tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes (which normally I dislike but these were good) cucumber & romaine lettuces. We ate in the Pizza side, which has a nice decor overlooking an Roman style patio. It's BYOB & if having dinner it would be worth bringing some wine to enhance the delicious food. read more

Girl who took order had zero customer service skills. Sounded beyond bored and hung up before I could give her my name for a pick up order. Pizza is good. Nothing special. The large pie is huge though. Their garlic bread is downright awful. Bread is not only stale but some pieces had no butter or garlic on them! We were seriously disappointed. Expensive prices too. read more

Very simple. Ordered a chaser salad to pick up. When I got home I found that they used iceberg lettuce instead of romaine. That's not a Caesar salad. If they didn't have romaine they should have told me when I ordered read more

Finally, a good pizza place on this side of Monroe! We've been in the area for 4 years and have always gone to places in either East Windsor or Cranbury for pizza. Decided to order from La Terrazza this weekend and we are so happy we did! We loved The Jersey Special pie we got, I even ate the crust (which I never, ever do)! Would definitely recommend them! Really looking forward to going back and trying their appetizers and pasta! read more

My husband and I booked the banquet room for a baptism reception for our son for today. I can not say enough things about how incredible the food and staff were! It was absolutely amazing and perfect! Everything went off without a hitch and it was the perfect ending to a great day!

It's official! We've ordered take out 3 times from here just to be sure, and it's good!! The first two times I ordered he same thing - mussels in red sauCE and chicken Parm for my husband. Mussels were great and portion was awesome. My toddler and I shared it. Husband loved his Parm. It was also a good portion! Their bread is good too, my sister in law jokes about how she can't stop eating it. Tonight, we ordered 4 pizzas, 2 anti pasta salads and mozzarella sticks for a family birthday get together if 13 people. Everything was great! Even the connolis! If you're looking for good comfort Italian food, this is a great choose. AND THEY DELIVER. read more

Decided to stop by this place since I live in Twin Rivers, and I was looking for a decent meal to finish my day. I was served a house salad, warm bread, a huge dish of gnocchis with a light sauce, fixed with capers, kalamata olives, shaved parmesan and eggplant. Everything came to $24 with my drink. I was highly impressed! The owner even offered me a glass of wine and cannoli before I left (I mentioned that I had a long day and was excited to finally sit down and eat). These are true Italians who understand the importance of family, because they treat their customers as such. For all the other reviews saying that they're harsh, rude, mean etc... you obviously are not from Jersey or NY! I can't wait to go back. read more
