We've been going to Lidos for 30 years. The food is consistent-nothing special, but always enjoyable. Now, with new owners, they want to be a bar. Burgers undercooked, pizza comes to table warm if not cold. Of course the money is made on liquor, but serving a hot meal should be at the top of the list on running a restaurant. We'll hope for better results next time. read more

bar tenders very unfriendly. pizza very good price point great be a little more friendly

Great food and great atmosphere. Definitely a perfect date night spot or order for take out, either way you won't be disappointed. Service is great and very friendly all the time. read more

Love his place. Can't beat the prices. Best pizza in Bergen county. And and friendly staff. Been coming here for years and not a thing has changed. Sometimes that's a good thing. My first time back since the remodel and the place looks great. Very clean. The food is different but somehow even better than before. They take credit cards now. And the staff seems happy to be there. Service was great. Food came out quickly. Zero complaints ! read more

If Guy Fieri ever came to Lido's to film Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Lido's would be considered a dive. Lido's hasn't changed much in the 20 years I have been going here. Lido's is also a cash only restaurant, no credit cards can be used here. There is a bank across the street with an ATM machine, if needed. Lido's is very consistent with their food. I've never had a bad meal here. I always order a house salad and a thin crust pizza for dinner. They have the BEST thin crust pizza! The crust is crispy with a sweet pizza sauce and gooey mozzarella on top. It's seriously so good, I highly recommend it! I give Lido's a 4/5 because I wish they would update the look and feel of the restaurant. Even if they got new furniture, I feel it would bring new people to the restaurant and not just the locals here. Other than that the pizza is delicious and it will be the best pizza pie you will ever have. read more

So I haven't been to this place for about 5 years and it's always been known for its authentic old school cuisine. I wasn't in the mood for their amazing pizza. So I decided to get The Calamari and The Chicken Parm Entree. Calamari was perfect and crispy. The Chicken Parm was cooked perfect with super melty cheese. 10 out of 10 meal. Service was good. I see all these bad reviews on here after the place was slightly renovated. Don't listen to these haters writing bad reviews. This restaurant has never been better. read more

This is my first time ordering from this restaurant, I've heard many great things about their pizza and their food etc. but I am not satisfied with the pizza first of all very thin slices and it got to my home very cold. I almost waited an hour for my food to come. Not satisfied, never again. read more

Lido Restaurant - Plain slice of pizza - Pizza Near Me - Hackensack, New Jersey

What a disappointment. The decor is dark and poor throughout. The service slow and btw the rest only had 2 other customers The food was terrible a meatball parm on a round roll and with very little sauce which by the way was tasteless. I have been going to this restaurant for years under two previous owners but this new on is a thumbs down. No going back. read more

Ditto on everything that everyone else wrote with a couple of exceptions. Order the sliced steak sandwich with melted provolone. It's a cathartic experience. Also, who decided to rate this place $$? It should be rated -$ because it really is cheap cheap. I took 9 people out for diner, we ate quite a bit and the bill was under $120 including a much deserved 18% gratuity. Love this place!! read more

Lido Restaurant - Mmmmm - Pizza Near Me - Hackensack, New Jersey

First off, the FOOD is AWESOME. I don't usually like pizza but their thin crust is really great. Also, I had their eggplant parm with a side of pasta (which you have to ask for or else they bring fries - wtf? I don't eat FRIES with something Italian?!, which right there, star off, odd). So good. I also had enough leftover for the next day. One huge major downfall and why it didn't get 5 stars? We waited ... FOREVER for a table. If your party isn't all there (one person was running late), they seat everyone else that comes in before you. Also, they don't take reservations. So if you have a big party, best of luck (yet it seemed everyone who came in was a big party of families). Next time, I'm going to sit by myself if I have to because I was so hungry by the time I ate. Also, cash only (ugh. I hate handling cash, it's dirty). Parking can be a pain if the street parking's full. I'd go back but only if it's like this time where my friends made plans to go there. Otherwise, I personally wouldn't go back on my own. read more

So disappointed. We saw the barstool review and we happen to be in the area. Ordered two large pies. Here is the problem, there was so much flower used in the dough that the under carriage of the pizza was terrible. It was difficult to eat without a gallon of water. Its super thin crust and one person could probably polish off a large pie by themselves. I'd rather have two good slices of pizza then that pie at Lido. I could never recommend the pizza from this place. read more

Good spot for family dinners! Open during COVID. Love love love the open face steak sandwich, chicken parm and thin crust pizza. I am only knocking a star off for not accepting credit cards and being cash only. It's so difficult these days to not accept CC. read more

I haven't reviewed Lido? Horrors! So, first of all, please note, this is not a fine dining establishment - you will not get white tablecloths, or mood lighting (unless you consider really dark mood lighting). What you will get, however, is delicious food, served in an interesting atmosphere with mostly locals, and served by servers who are no nonsense but great! The atmosphere is dive-y pizza...and I simply love it. Did I say I loved the pizza at Lido? Well, it bears repeating. I LOVE the pizza at Lido. when I am in New Jersey, I insist upon it and I think I actually went twice last time...in 3 days! It is so heavenly! The wine, but the way, is cheap and delicious (go ahead - get the carafe!). Everything is tasty, but I really go for the pizza (and salad). I love it, my parents love it, my grandma loves it. Seriously, it's an all ages, all tastes kind of place that has been there since the beginning of time. read more

Humongous cheap pizza slices right cheer. That pretty much sums it up. Dingy, take out joint. Seemed a bit of a throw back to 50's and still has half century old gum under the tables, lol. Bathrooms, hmm well let's just say to bring antibacterial. If it's a slice you want, especially if your heart's desire is a thin crust then you'll find it here. Huge thin crust slices and big ass pizzas await you. Less than average prices for a massive quantity and the pizza's pretty decent. Not exceptional and of course it's difficult to separate the surroundings from the product that's why I suggest taking home. Cash Only, boo! Not sure about anything else on the menu because as I said it's not really a dining destination. read more

Ordered by phone to take out. Whoever took the order screwed it up. When it was picked up the pizza was missing and while_2 double sliced steaks were ordered there was only one. Had to wait for them to make the pizza. We also ordered onion rings and calamari. I'm sure I don't have to explain what happens to fried food after it sits. Got home with the soggy mess, cold food from waiting and a barely edible meal for a large sum of money . Have been a customer at the Lidi for MANY years and not only throughly enjoyed the food but got to know most of the wait staff. Since they changed hands one, can only say the food quality is near average, at best. I sorry to say I will never go there again. The old Lido, sorrowfully, is just a pleasant memory while the current one is something I'd like to forget. read more

I used to live right next door to Lido and only went in this place once. I remebered it being really dark with decent food but it hadn't really been on my radar. I recently went back after giving another try based on the raving Yelp reviews and have been back 4 times since. The place is still as dark and dungy as I remember it but it gives it character. The pizza is thin and is almost as good as Kinchleys, almost. I was told to try out the steak sandwich and was really impressed with how good it was. It's pretty much butter and steak on white bread, but it's worth it. Lido is cash only and you can get it to go if you would like. You can sit right down during the week but may have to wait on a Friday night. read more

Amazing pizza! A must have, great local spot to have a drink and some great Italian fare mama Mia!

I used to go here and enjoy it I can say that the Mel's dinner attitude is wearing thin but usually the open face sliced steak was banging. Tonight was the third time in a row that the food didn't make up for the poor attitude. The steak was tough and so was the person serving it. She got her 20% as a parting gift Bye bye read more

Lido used to be great. Unfortunately, ever since new ownership, things have gone down hill drastically. Aside from a price increase, the quality and service has tanked. On three separate occasions, the food was not prepared as ordered. -The first instance, the double steak was less then a single order. ( never called to complain) - The second time, the portions were a little better, but they once again forgot the cheese on my steak. I ordered a side of onions and received mushrooms, which went in the garbage. - Tonight will be my last order. Aside from once again forgetting the cheese on my double steak, they forgot the fries. And I should mention that the steak was COLD. I additionally ordered a steak platter medium rare for my son, which came as well done as can be. My wife spoke to management, which took $10.00 off the bill. I'm insulted at best, being that I paid for a cold steak with no cheese, a steak which wasn't eaten being that it was overcooked and no fries. Too bad the business was sold, and the new owners don't live up to the quality, service and customer service that the previous owners provided. In closing, the food is fair, but much better options are in the area. read more

Reading these reviews i thought i would either love or hate this place but it turns out i just feel in between. I was not blown away by the pizza but it wasn't bad either . I was confused because there were reviews that it was being renovated so i thought that would be done by now but it is still not renovated. The bathroom is like omg bad. The service was really nice . I live really close so it is convenient too. So i might come back if someone really wanted me to or i might get take out for pizza But i would not go out of my way to come here if i lived farther away. read more

Lido's wait staff have probably all been working there for a long time. They're OK -- they're efficient, they know the menu and they'll get you what you need. Not too much for inciting conversation though. But, hey, that's OK by me. Stick with what they do well --- Pizza, Sliced Steak, Burgers. Don't ask silly questions either. I, in my suit still from work, was just joining my wife and our friends one night and I had the audacity to ask "do you make a white pie?" (you know -- no sauce but mozz and ricotta with garlic). The waitress, who must have been as old as the dust bunnies hanging from the ceiling, gave me an odd and disgusted look, as if I were some yuppie moron for asking, and said "We don't have dat heeere" in a north Jersey meets Long Island accent. Classic! Loved this place ever since! They're not afraid to just be who they are -- no pretentions, no apologies. Just consistently solid food at very reasonable prices. Hope they're around another gazillion years! read more

Brought my family to Lido for the first time today. We were all blown away by the quality. Everyone at the table ranked the pizza (at least) in the top 5 for best pies they've ever tasted. Barstool Sports recently scored it an 8.1/10, making it one of the best pizzas in NJ, but we think it should've gotten a higher score! The steak sandwich, billed on the menu as "World Famous," was also fantastic. Very lean, flavorful, and on very thin, crispy bread. We'll be back to eat at Lido for both indoor dining and pizza takeout. It's well worth the 20-minute drive! read more

I go to the lido maybe once every 5-10 years when I'm in the area. it's good but nothing special. The steak seems like a cheaper product than what you would get there 10-20 years ago. Pizza is good but nothing to go out of your way for read more

My friend was raving about their thin sliced steak and cheese. We were both very disappointed. When the server passed the hot plate near my face to place it on the table I got a quick whiff and felt it might not be very fresh. When we began eating it tasted as if they had reheated it in the microwave. It definitely didn't taste fresh or fresh cooked. The server was very attentive and very nice. The price was excellent. I'm not in a rush to go back though. read more

ZERO STARS if I could. I used to love lidos...my family and I would go there at least once a month. We loved everything on the menu. We tried it once it re-opened and I couldn't finish my meal bc the steak wasn't cooked properly and the pizza didn't taste right. We complained to the manager then(just like all the responses say on their site) with minimal response from him and the staff. We tried again after Halloween and it was terrible. My husband is a big eater and couldn't even finish his meal and again the response was, I'll tell my manager. The waitress told us "at least the jukebox works". Great!! What about my food!! So disappointed...lost great food bc of a new owner who obviously made minimal renovations. Well.... goodbye lidos!! I'm not going back! read more

The place looks like it is from the 1980's but Who doesn't love thin crust pizza!? Ask for it well done ;-)

Pizza, Pizza! It's the only thing I've tried here, and it lives up to being one of the best in Bergen County. Nicks in Bergenfield was my fav on this side of the GWB, but closed after the storm (sad face). If you like thin crust, well this has ultra thin crust, so thin the crust ends are crunchy, you may be able to eat a whole pie, it really is that good. read more

Amazing thin crust pizza, ambiance is dark and cozy with a nostalgic interior, and service is always good.

Ordered 2 14" 2 topping pizzas (1 pepperoni & mushroom the other 1/2 pepperoni and mushroom 1/2 Hawaiian) over the phone because all my friends tell me this place is so good. I directly asked the person "Do you put a lot of toppings on, because I will pay extra for extra toppings if need be" he told me they put plenty of toppings. The pizza was seriously below average, could've done better at Dominos, they put big clumps of cheese everywhere covering the toppings (I figure to hide the fact there wasn't much on them) tiniest little pieces of what I guess you could call "pepperoni" and not much at all. BY THE WAY, IT WAS $60.00 FOR THESE 2 SO CALLED PIZZAS...ugh, never EVER would go there again read more

Place was always a dive type of place that hadn't been updated or cleaned since it opened but always good with a nostalgic feel Since the new owner ship the kept the same look which was smart and they also just tuned up anything that was loose. Food is not 100% the same but close enough maybe missing a slight amount of soul. But this review would not really take focus on the food. The service is where things really changed things use to fly out the kitchen busy or not with a few older woman holding it down. Not they filled it with a bunch of young waiters that are running around pulling other order for their own tables. It took me about 45 mins to a hr to get my food order a pizza for my son to share and I got the famous steak sandwich. I watch 5 tables around me get my same order and they can 15-30 mins after me . Not gunna lie I came here out of tradition and it didn't seem to traditional. My suggestions to the business owner have less waiters on staff maybe 3 at a time and a food expediter you'll be good .. the menu with the cocktails is great just add the heart back into the food and don't be afraid to take what was good great. Adding your touch to the recipes is ok! Im 32 year old business owner if you wanted to get a better understanding of the clients that is writing this review read more

Love this pizza. Thin like bar pizza with traditional taste. Sauce is on the sweeter side love love this pie. Place is cool good ambiance old timers sure love it. read more

Absolutely horrible. The pizza used to be the best but since Lonnegan took over it's terrible. Service was horrible. We waited almost an hour for a pizza we ordered. Then we complained to the manager he was Condescending and didn't really care. The old wait staff were amazing the new stuff horrible. The food terrible. I can't believe that this place has been ruined in such a short period of time. We will never come back. read more

Excellent and reasonably priced sliced steak sandwich and thin crust pizza! Cozy booth seating too

Everyone has been saying it's as good as ever. Not so for us. Portions much smaller, our food was served lukewarm at best. My chicken parmigiana was thick and almost cold inside, with a very skimpy amount of cheese and sauce. Husbands sliced steak ordered medium was rare, cold and had approximately 9 French fries. Even the salad was brown, you no longer get bread with your meal. The first time we were told they ran out, even though they had just opened 30 minutes earlier. read more

Stopped in following visits to the breweries nearby. Sat at the bar and ordered a pizza to go. 4 drafts on tap, 3/4 were local. Pizza was very good, thin crust to be expected from the reviews. Definitely worth coming back. read more

I wish I had a better review. I think Lido may be trying to hold onto a tradition name for their business. Deco... fantastic...old school...nailed it!! Steak sandwich...uggghhh..meat not great quality. Pizza just fair at best. Onion rings exceptional!! Order for sure. Martini may be watered down. I'm sad to say not a necessary stop read more

I wondered what the appeal was here and after being a customer here I know why... the pizza is amazing. Unfortunately for my dad and I we learned the hard way. We decided to order an actual entree and a pizza to share on the go. The ambience is super old school, definitely needs an update- it looks dark and gloomy. But honestly who cares take a pie to go. We started off our meal with bread and salad- super fabric. Nothing special. Next we get out entrees- I ordered the chicken Parmesan and my dad spaghetti with meat sauce. All in all the tomato sauce was super watery and had no flavor whatsoever- like straight from a can without any effort to make it their own. I've had better tomato cause out of a jar. Anyways the chicken park was basically all tomato sauce nothing to it. It looked huge, but when I started cutting it up there was barely anything there. It was crispy but again lacked flavor. Same thing with my dad entree. I didn't expect much of the pizza but not was I wrong. That thing is so delicious. So cheesy and this is what saved everything. I would NEVER dine in again or order anything but the pizza. Classic thin crispy crust, loads of cheese, what can do wrong?! It was amazing read more
