I ordered the chicken parm which was delicious but for an Italian / Pizzeria they didn't give me any bread for the sauce. When the bill arrived they charged me a $4 service fee ( which is not a tip ) its not a big deal but at least put it on the menu. I ordered from them a week later , chicken parm $21 to go. when I picked up my order I was charged $24 ($21 for the meal $3 service fee ) and still no bread . Really a service charge for a to go order ! Even though the food is good I don't think I will be going back anytime soon. Both times I went, the restaurant was crowded with people sitting down to eat and people waiting for to go orders . Just think how much money their making with this service fee . Has to be hundreds of dollars a day .Thats just greed.

Thin but not cracker thin. Crunchy but can take the weight. We had a pepperoni/meatball and a sausage/black olive pies. So good. Say hi to Hillary!

Let's start with the only real challenge of the night: parking. Between regular White Plains parking adventures and the winter snow situation, it took a little patience. But once we got inside, the night immediately got better. The vibe is college-bar casual, but without the trashiness that sometimes comes with that territory. It's lively but still comfortable enough to actually enjoy a conversation. One thing I loved right away, there are games by the front entrance that you can grab and bring to your table. Drinks + games = instant girls' night upgrade. We were seated in the center near the kitchen, which actually gave us a great view of the whole place. Our drinks were really good, though if the bartender's hand had slipped just a tiny bit more on the pour, I wouldn't have complained. Still solid, still enjoyable. Now the food. Holy moly. Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. And the portions? I'm not sure if they thought we were feeding an entire soccer team, but honestly... I support the ambition. I don't think I've ever seen mozzarella sticks that size before. I love leftovers and this place clearly believes in sending you home with some. Another thing I appreciated was seeing a whole section of vegan options on the menu. I didn't try them this time, but I love when a restaurant makes it easy for different diets to find something without turning ordering into a complicated group project. Between the fun atmosphere, great food, and generous portions, this was a great first experience. Next time I come back, I'll just plan ahead for parking... and maybe bring an even bigger appetite.

Tucked away in Rahway, this charming pizzeria captivated us the moment we stepped in, seeking a slice each. Greeted warmly by who we believe was Michelino, possibly the owner, the ambiance instantly won us over. The decor, quintessentially pizzeria with a touch of elegance, from the thoughtfully placed decorations to the perfectly balanced dim lighting, made for a cozy yet vibrant setting for delightful conversations and dining pleasure. The proprietor, a figure of kindness, humility, and warmth, personally served our food, adding a special touch to the already stellar service. It's rare to find such attentive service in a pizzeria, and it left us pleasantly surprised. Despite a tough crowd, it's bewildering how this gem hasn't secured a 4-star rating at the very least. Our large slices were nothing short of spectacular. The sauce, perfectly seasoned, complemented the high-quality ingredients without being overpowering or overly greasy. While the pricing might be on the higher side, the exceptional service more than makes up for it. We left with a sense of gratitude for having discovered this place and are eagerly looking forward to our next visit. It's a delightful spot that truly deserves recognition. Thanks! read more

I last reviewed in 2021, having been pleasantly surprised by their chicken options, though some way…read moredisappointed by the pizza. For awhile, I felt like I solved the master equation - extra sauce on the pizza ended up giving us a perfect pie that was always done right. Unfortunately, we've hit a pretty consistent wall of...well, inconsistency. The last three pizzas have come out with about a third of the crust folded up, as if the pizza was made too big for the box. Trying the extra sauce on the pizza trick, which was formerly the way to get a perfect blend of sauce and cheese, now results in a pizza that is nearly impossible to eat without a fork and knife. Going the opposite direction and keeping the standard sauce leaves you with a large-scale version of cheesy bread, but not the kind you find yourself wanting to dip in marinara on a game night. I also must mention that my "extra sauce" was once erroneously made extra cheese, and it was far and away the worst pizza I ever ate. So whether it's a new pizza maker, a bad new recipe, or just the inconsistency finally showing through, there's something about the recent experience that would have me turning to most of the other options in the area.
