    Mortadella and margherita pizzas.
    Justin K.

    My family loves this pizza. It's real Italian style with fantastic toppings and the crust is great. He imports flour and sauce from Italy. It's excellent, you have to go!

    Mortadella, burata pizza

    Woah !!! Sometimes you find a spot that blows your mind. This is that kind of place ! We started off with the Cesar salad. Kids loved it !! I got the lemon chicken and it was very good. But the star of the show was the mortadella, buratta, pistachio and pesto pizza. It was exceptional !!! The crust was crunchy yet soft, everything was fresh. I true show stopper !!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    It looks like a normal neighborhood pizza spot. But the Pizza and Main Dishes are really good. I would say Top Five in NJ for Pizza, Pasta & Italian Main Dishes. Great value. No corkage fee when you BYO.

    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. Pizza was slightly better than average and could have been (more) well done. Great local place. Go local.

    My go-to pizza in the area. A level above the other million pizzerias in the area. Very good chicken wings too which surprised me.

    I've been coming for years- but had an appointment in the area and had to stop in. Feels like home…read morethe second you step inside. Nellies never disappoints. We got a 12" pie and calamari to start- both cooked perfectly. Then got a sandwich and a wrap which didn't stand a chance at leaving as leftovers. Our server was so kind and stayed on-top of refills in a packed dining room. Guaranteed a great meal at this authentic hometown bar.

    I just want to start off by saying we have been coming here for YEARS and it has always been…read moreconsistent and great. However the last two visits ( we go on Sundays and in the summer we love to sit outside there) were just not good and it hurts me to say it. A few weeks ago we went and I didn't really see anybody that we knew there's usually the same woman at the door every time we go and we always have a brief pleasant conversation with her. We didn't see her when we went in, but no big deal we were led to our booth. We don't even need menus anymore because we always get the same thing and it's always delicious. We always start with a salad and then we get the muscles medium and a large pie with half black olives. We waited about 10 minutes. We still hadn't been given water or even acknowledged at our booth. We just kind of waited patiently because we did see that it was busy but after 15 minutes past, we were kind of like what is going on a young woman came over she looked overwhelmed. She was helping most of the tables asked us what we wanted to drink and we said to her you know what can we just do everything now because we can see that you're busy. We gave our order and then we sat another 15 minutes just waiting for our drinks to arrive. Our salad finally came out and then our mussels . The muscles must've been made and sitting in the back for a while because for the first time ever we did not like them they were rubbery and cold. We ate them anyway cause we don't like to make a big deal then we waited for our pizza. And waited and waited and waited. No one was even looking over at us. No one came over to ask if we needed more drinks. It was like we didn't exist, which was very upsetting because my boyfriend is a person that tips 30% every time anywhere we go. Finally, the person that was running the front saw that we were getting very aggravated and came over and at this point, we were just disgusted and wanted to leave as my boyfriend's mom is ill and we can't spend three hours sitting at a local bar restaurant. We told the woman that we didn't even want them at this point and if we could just get them to go. Because we had ordered a second pizza to take to my boyfriend's mom. She did do the right thing and took the pizzas off the bill and we appreciated that and we chalked it up to just being a one off day, no big deal in comparison to all the great times we've had there. So we ended up not going back for a few minutes weeks and we finally went back yesterday. It was extremely busy so we knew we would be there a little while I want to say that our waiter Tyler was great. We have no complaints about him. He was friendly and he got our order correct. But it was the same thing where we sat there for about 10 minutes before anyone even came over with a glass of water. We then instructed how we wanted the food brought out first the salad then the mussels and lastly the pizza he repeated it back to us and we knew he had gotten it and like I said we have no complaints about Tyler. But then, of course the salad and mussels came out at the same time. We kind of just said to each other no big deal. We'll eat the salad fast and eat the mussels while they're still warm as we literally took the first bite of our salad our pizza came out. He told us that the back kitchen had just put everything in at once. I'm not really sure what's going on here why they can't get it together, but we ended up eating our food so fast because we didn't want anything to get cold. That's not an enjoyable way to go out to dinner. I really hope it can go back to being the way it was because it used to be phenomenal. I think we will be taking another little break until the weather gets nice and we can sit outside and hopefully the service will go back to the way it was as I stated Tyler was great. I really believe it was not his fault that it all came out at once. This is truly a local place that has been here for so many years and it's just kind of sad to see that it's almost like they don't care that they take for granted that they will always be busy, but that's not how the way the world works. Things are so expensive in today's world and going out to dinner should be a pleasure not a stressful event. It's a great place in general and I definitely do not want to bash it. That's not the point of this post this post is to let them know that they're good customers. Just want to be treated the way they have been since 1989.
