(Mind you I'm upstairs unpacking) he refused to give my food to my helpers and when we tried to tip him, he said he doesn't work for free and wouldn't accept the tip unless it was more than $5. He took the food back. I called the store to talk to the owner/manager and he immediately yells at me.... First and last time ordering from here.

The bread is toasted in the pizza oven first which provided a really nice crunch. There seemed to be pickled peppers and onions which was an interesting and delicious spin. The steak and cheese was exactly what you could want. Overall a really fun take that moves away from tradition but not too far. A good spot that I'd visit again.

10/22/25 - Lunch time! Of course, that means pizza at least once a week. Today's visit was to a…read moreplace called Pronto Pizzeria & Restaurant in South Amboy, NJ. If I didnt have Google Maps, I probably wouldn't have found this place. It's on Rte 9 you say? Yes, it is. Should be easy to find, right? Well, no. If you are on the Rte 9 Southbound side, you are on the correct side. But note, you CANNOT see this pizzeria from Rte 9. There are several restaurants and stores in front of it. It is in a back row of stores next to the Rte 9 Farmer's Market. (I didn't know this farmers market existed until today.) Due to location, I think Pronto may only be known to the locals and the patrons of the Farmer's Market. And that's a shame because the pies are excellent. I ordered one plain slice and one Sicilian slice. The plain was excellent. Abundant premium mozzarella cheese, tangy sauce and flavorful Italian seasonings make this a wonderfully tasty local slice that's worth your time. The outer crust and undercarriage were both crispy and delicious. There's just a slight limpness but the slice does stand at attention with a small fold of the outer crust which also prevents the toppings from sliding off. The Sicilian slice was even better. Great Sicilian flavor with all of the aforementioned attributes mske this slice a show stopper. No limpness at all. One notable observation is for Sicilian pizza it's not thick at all. But the flavor is so good, it's forgivable. The crust is extremely crispy and unlike any Sicilian crust I've sampled in this area. But dont let this stop you from ordering one or a dozen. With the odd location, this place is the very definition of a hidden gem. They have their own way of doing pizza here but it doesn't make the pizza any worse than its competitors. I'd recommend you give them shot to see for yourself. It is definitely worthy of your time and money.... if you can find it. Overall Rating : A

10/24/25 - Watching New York Rangers hockey in 2025 will drive you to comfort food. So off I went…read moreto another pizzeria. Today's stop was a place in Sayreville, NJ called Mia's Pizza Restaurant. Mia's is located in a strip mall at the corner of Bordentown Av. and Jernee Mill Road. Normally, when you look at a front window of a restaurant and see two different varieties of food, you should run away. Mia's boasts both Italian and Mexican food. What I've learned thru the years is, if you say you can make great Mexican food and great Italian food, then you can't make great anything. I ordered one plain slice and one sausage slice and hoped for the best. I was actually optimistic because every table in this place was taken. The good: Both the outer crust and undercarriage were spectacular. Crispy, crunchy and stood up perfectly with no limpness whatsoever. The crust is not dry at all. And the slices are big. Thank goodness I ordered a sausage slice as the sausage added a flavor punch that these slices badly needed. The problems: the sauce is pretty bland. It has a slight hint of basil flavor but there was no other Italian seasoning flavors that I could taste or even see. It also wouldn't hurt if they used a bit more sauce. The cheese is premium but like the sauce, they could use a bit more of it. There isn't a menu in sight. They have a menu board above the front counter. There are no prices on it however. If you aren't going to put out paper menus, then you really need to put prices on the menu board so your customers don't get unpleasant surprises. As much as I wanted to like this place, it just doesn't cut it. They do nothing to differentiate themselves from the stiff local competition. Overall Rating: C

I ordered the Stromboli and the guy asked me what I would like in it. He handmade each one which was surprising to me for such a little hole in the wall spot.

It was pretty good I must say and add only $7 then just $.95 for each topping it was well worth it.

We've been here a number of times before when my daughter was younger, so it was a little nostalgic for us. Plenty of seating, a very nice size menu with a great number of salad options, which is what we were in the mood for. We ordered a chicken Caesar salad and a Cobb salad... both were huge! Enough for two portions in one. I loved my Cobb... everything was fresh, the chicken was perfectly seasoned, and well balanced. Goes great with their creamy Italian dressing, which is now a fave for me. They came out with a side of warm bread that was amazing. John, was extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome. So much so, that we are saying that this will be our spot to come and grab lunch or an early dinner more often. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu!

10/12/25 - Most of the time when I am out running errands, I will see a pizza shop that I didn't…read moreknow existed. I never have great expectations about these places because if a place is good, one of my friends would have told me about it. Today's find is a place called Stefano' Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria in East Brunswick, NJ. It's located in a strip mall off Rte 535/Cranbury Road. Apparently, their claim to fame is thin crust pizza which is not one of my favorites. I prefer a thicker neopolitan pie but I am open to trying all styles. To say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement. I ordered two plain slices mostly because that's all that was available in the pizza case. When a pizzeria has an empty case like that, it usually means they have zero foot traffic. And zero foot traffic usually means poor product. But, my assumptions were wrong. The slices were very crunchy with no limpness at all. The outer crust was crispy and moist. The undercrust had brown color and the slices stand straight out at attention when you pick them up. A delightful pizza experience overall. The sauce is tangy and well seasoned and the cheese is premium. Using a bit more sauce wouldn't hurt but it's not a deal breaker. This place is a thin pie lover's dream. If that's your style, you should give it a shot. The words "hidden gem" come to mind. The seating area is nicely appointed and the staff is very helpful. I believe the owner waited on me but I have no evidence to be certain. Either way I am glad I stopped here today. Overall Rating: B+

I'm so happy I found my new local pizza/café spot!…read more We've ordered from Rustoni's about 4-5 times now, and every single time they've been consistent with both the quality of the food and their counter service. So far, we've tried their Sicilian, vodka slice with garlic, traditional plain pie, penne vodka with chicken, buffalo chicken roll, and both of their eggplant wraps. I always judge how good something is by asking myself, "Would I order this again?" And my answer is yes to all of it! The staff is so friendly and welcoming. One time, while picking up takeout, I asked how long it would be since my kids were waiting in the car (ages 3 and 5), and they offered to bring the food out to me. Such a small gesture, but it was incredibly helpful and appreciated! Most recently, on their cafe side we tried a couple of their signature iced coffees and they were delicious! I can't wait to go back and try their crepes with the kids. It's such a cute little café--perfect for sitting down and catching up with an old friend or simply enjoying a nice treat with your family. You can really feel the warmth of this small family-owned business the minute you walk through the door. Definitely a local spot worth checking out!

Highly recommend this place!! More ppl need to come here!…read more - Great price - Great pizza!!! - HUGE portions! I came to this shopping plaza for a dance class nearby and spotted this pizza place with the same name as a great pizzeria in Staten Island that I have a soft spot for. Brought my partner here and I'm so glad we came!! There's a handful of fun arcade games as soon as you walk in and the ambiance in here is so delightfully and whimsical while still being very intimate. I really miss visiting casual spaces like this with friends and I think more people should find spaces like this to hang out and help support small businesses! We grabbed a slice each from the display case and were so pleasantly surprised by how HUGE the slices were! We were even happier with how delicious our food was! The crust was perfection and my barbecue chicken slice was so good that both my bf and I were gushing over how good it was. An even bigger surprise was that our dine-in pizza was only $8 for both of our slices which feels like an experience out of 2014. When we visited they had around 8-10 options in the display case. I wouldve liked to have had a few more options but I'm also SO happy with the choice I made in the end. They have some really interesting deluxe pizzas like a chicken Francese pizza and a mango Habanero one so I'm positive this won't be our last visit!
