Great pizza and pasta plus its BYOB. Pasta is homemade in house. My usual go to spot for pizza in the area. Can never go wrong ordering from here! read more

We finally tried it and were very pleased with the quality. The hostess that greeted us was lovely with friendly and prompt. I wasn't thrilled with the waitress however . She wasn't bad but we had to ask twice for bread for our mussels and she finally brought it AFTER we finished them which was such a waste because the mussel sauce was delicious and we wanted to dunk the bread. This was the only negative but it wasn't major issue. We started with the vegan salad which was absolutely outstanding it had chickpeas, fresh avocado. It just was extremely fresh and so tasteful with the dressing. We moved onto the mussels, which were next level amazing they were a different sort of sauce that we've never tried before, and it was outstanding if you like mussels , you must try them. Highly recommend.. Hubby had some sort of a mixed fish dish over risotto. He absolutely loved it. He finished his plate within minutes lol I had the salmon. It was interesting, but I don't think I would get it again. Also, I like my salmon very well done which I had asked them to do and it came out pretty much poached so I couldn't really finish it. I would definitely try something different when we go back again. The pizzas looked amazing and I'm looking forward to trying one of those. I highly suggest a reservation as we had one and within 15 minutes the place was packed read more

I tried a slice of Perusia's Rucola Pizza at a recent party. The white pie was topped with fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, arugula, shaved parmesan, and extra-virgin olive oil. I thought the piece was just fine. Overall, I usually prefer pizza with marinara sauce, but I wanted an option with vegetables. However, the real thing that threw off my taste buds was the shaved parmesan, which had such a strong funk to it that it overpowered each bite. Unfortunately, I had higher hopes, but perhaps another variety would have been more to my liking, as others seemed to enjoy the plain cheese pie. read more

Ordered a margarita pie, which is supposed to be sweet and milky. What I got looked like a plain pie with basil, was greasy, oddly sour, and with a very unpleasant note of butyric acidity. I didn't finish, and regret even eating even as much as I did, as it's turned my stomach. By far the best part of the meal was the peach Snapple as my comfort between bites. I hate giving bad reviews when the service isn't bad, but I honestly regret trying this place. Sorry, cannot recommend. And in response to the business owner, I love a good personal pie and at $11 it would've been a very nicely priced lunch these days if it tasted good. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be mean, but read what I had to say in my review and note that it had nothing to do with price or format and everything to do with the taste. read more

Great pizza and good attitude from owner and staff. That's all we need. Reasonable prices. read more

Nice local spot. Stopped by with the family for lunch. Small place with polite staff but the food was good. Will stop by for lunch again.

Looking for a new pizza place and came upon this gem. Best mozzarella pizza with crispy/ doughy crust and fresh pasta bolognese. Calamari perfectly seasoned. Will be one of my go-tos!! read more

We've done sit down for lunch and take out during the weekend. The food is delicious! Pizza is the perfect amount of crispy and with the ability to do half and half pies. The pasta sauce, especially the ragu, is really well cooked and flavorful. Portions are also big. The location has plenty of seats and parking outside, and very friendly service. Finally, you can order online for pickup and the pizza is kept hot in the oven. What a great neighborhood gem! read more

Truly remarkable pizza in an unassuming strip mall in a quiet Jersey neighborhood. It's somewhere between an authentic pie from Napoli and a proper New York (New Jersey?) slice. I highly recommend the Bufalina and Diavola. (Proper spicy Italian Salami on that Diavola!) They've got great pasta, too... read more

Amazing gluten free pizza! Many styles and flavors. Uses gluten free flour from Italy . The flour for the regular pizza is from Italy too. The crust was light and airy. Would return even though I'm an hour away. From all gluten free people, thank you for including us . read more

I've been coming to this authentic pizza spot since it opened and I loved it every time. Sometimes we dine in which is BYOB, sometimes we get take out and occasionally, like for parties, we get delivery. I love it every time. The pizza and entrees here are really the best. I love the excellent, warm service. My go-to spot always! Highly recommend. read more

Perusia - Mortadella, burata pizza - Pizza Near Me - Waldwick, New Jersey

I've now eaten here 5 times and it is consistently excellent. First the pizza. My wife and I are huge pizza lovers and have eaten at all of the greats in the greater NYC area including all 8+ rated One Bite pizzerias, the new greats like Ceres and Chrissy's, and renowned joints like Una Pizza (consistently rated among best in the world). Perusia hangs with the best in the tri-state area. Maybe not top 5, but somewhere around top ten. In NJ it has few rivals. It has a unique crust that is in a class of its own. Not too thin, reminiscent of a classic hand tossed ending up firm with initial crispness leading into chewiness with a nice tang - with blistering of focaccia and chewiness of naan. I strongly recommend the pies that include drizzle of olive oil and try to sit down, order fresh in the restaurant and eat there. Highly recommend the one with burrata. Sandwiches: flatbread style and a must try. The veg one is best and does very well with added chicken. Like the pizza, highly recommend having it in restaurant fresh out of the oven. Salads are very good and go beyond the simple greens you get at most pizzerias; that is, thoughtful ingredients eg avocado, nuts, chickpeas, etc and add-ons eg chicken. Their branzino is a hit - nice presentation with a lovely touch of high quality olive oil and very good potatoes. In short - much more of a treasure than the strip mall location suggests. Also, very nice people working there. Feels like you're in someone's home. read more

We had Perusia cater our club hockey event for about 30 people. The food was superb - everything from the Penne Alla Norcina to the meat options and pizza were delicious. We also had some homemade tiramisu made for the event which was truly amazing! I took some home for a second pass and wished I had taken more to go. All in all, I highly recommend this place! read more

My husband, Harvey, and I were there a few weeks ago with a couple of family members who are hearing impaired - we asked for a table that would accommodate their hearing devices for ease of conversation when our sign language skills were lacking - the staff was wonderful! They gave us the perfect spot in the restaurant and even added an additional table for us for more space. And talk about the meals! Superb in every way!!! We've found our favorite go to Italian restaurant, and so close to home, too! Go for delicious food, and the warm welcoming atmosphere - you won't be disappointed!!! read more

The pizza is amazingly delicious as is everything on the menu. The calamari is the best.. salads are fresh.. Our favorite pizza is the Buffalina pizza. This is a family owned business and each and everyone is very attentive... cooking to perfection.We have referred many of our friends and family.. The restaurant is becoming busier reservation is recommended Susan and Larry read more

This is a new business so I expected a bit more. That being said, I plan on returning in a few months and will update my thoughts then. The plaza in which Perusia is located is fine, but I found their retail space tucked in the corner near the exit and (kind of far from parking) isn't ideal nor easy for consumers. I used the Slice App to order a pizza pie and salad for pick up, so my experience and good quality could have been better in person? I found that the pizza lacked sauce. It was fine but too dry for my taste. The salad had very green avocados, not sufficiently ripe and the salad was probably a handful.. no value for cost in my opinion. read more

In my opinion, Perusia has the best thin crust pizza in town, we also loved the mussels, ravioli, bolognese, & tortellini. We were there for our Daughters birthday party today, and she and her friends loved the pizza, spaghetti & meatballs, & the pasta pomodoro and had a great time. The staff were incredibly helpful and nice, they held our birthday cake overnight for us and allowed us to decorate the table an hour before hand while the kids were at the escape room in the next shopping center. The restaurant is comfortable and clean. Thank you so much. read more

Just pizza. Margherita. Our 1st time here but a nice menu. Service was good and so was the pizza. . Same layout as the "previous" inhabitants so nothing to highlight any atmosphere. No dessert.

Perusia - Missing Pizza Slices;) - Pizza Near Me - Waldwick, New Jersey

Tagliatelle Bolognese was hot and tasty. Was watching NCAA basketball at GEAR BLOCK brewery, open three years now, and Perusia , Open two years, is around the corner in the same plaza. They do free delivery, just a short walk. They sell slices and have plenty of room for a sit down family dinner. Price seems reasonable. At Gear Block a group of 10+ people were having pizza salads appetizers, hanging out not really there for the game. The bar was pretty full as well as folks at a couple of tables. We'll try it again . read more

Real amazing Italian Pizza! Do not come here expecting to get "fake Italian" .. sorry but there is no Hawaiian Pizza or any other dumb flavors! This is like eating in Rome or Firenze! All the dishes are good but the best Pizza is the "Buffalina"!!! Bring your own Chianti or a good Cabernet and YUMMYY!! read more

I have visited several times including dining in. Everyone is friendly which is always a plus. The pizza they create is unique but they are very tasty. The crust is nice and not doughy. The fresh toppings like the buffalo mozzarella on the bufalina with arugula is worth the visit alone. We also very much enjoy the Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese though it could use just a hint more salt. The sauce for the Cozse All'arrabbiata (steamed mussels) was very tasty. Clean, bright and warm inviting atmosphere and again friendly welcoming staff makes a visit especially when hungry worth it. Plenty of free parking. ENJOY!!! read more

Nothing more than a pizzeria. If you think you can come here to have a meal (like I did) you will be VERY disappointed. Uncomfortable chairs and nasty wooden tables. The Caesar salad was a bunch of chopped lettuce with dressing from a bottle on the side. Mussels arrived with several broken shells but they were edible. Waitress got our order wrong so they delivered some grilled octopus thing that smelled terrible and my pasta dish was oily and cold. Had to wait over 20 minutes for my husband's dish. Did not bring proper silverware or extra napkins. I guess this is nothing more than a pizzeria but I won't be back to try it. read more

Amazing food! Definitely one of my fav in the area. From pizza to pasta and salads they never disappoint. Quality is excellent.

Amazing and underestimated. Highly recommend you go and order the main dishes not just pizza. Food is delicious and authentic. This is not your ordinary pizza/ restaurant. From grilled octopus and plentiful mussels as starters to branzino and Tagliatelle bolognese, the menu is authentic and worth going back to try other dishes. Highest recommendation from a family of foodies! read more

Sorry guys. Whole order pretty poor. Chicken parm was like an over cooked premade perdue cutlet from grocery store and didnt even come with bread or salad. Pizza was sad and doughy. A real disappointment and $70+ bucks down the drain.​ read more

I wish I could give this establishment no stars. First off I called at 5:55 and they told me the food would be ready at 6:20. I arrived at 6:20 and my food was not ready. Then as I waited they gave my pizza away to a customer that came after me. I adressed this concern and they accused me of lying. I will never ever go back to this horrible place. I didn't even get the pizza I paid for but 6 cold slices instead. Avoid this establishment at all costs. I waited 40 minutes for horrible food. read more

Pizza is too garlicky and salty. Adding some additional characters to finish the review.
