My friends and I visited for their first Girl Dinner night where they had a book mobile called…read moreAusten's Shelf in the parking lot which was the main reason for our visit. When it was first advertised on Instagram, my friend made a reservation. However, when we arrived the staff were confused and overwhelmed by the big turnout and made no effort to assist us promptly. They sat us inside since the patio tables were already taken, and we waited 15-20 minutes for someone to take our order. The ambiance was casual and the noise level was very loud. They have a bar on the main level and the place just looks like a casual pizza joint. The patio seats looked more appealing and I found out after we left that they were doing a giveaway which we weren't included in. The girl dinner menu options were very basic with no meat or seafood options. I probably should've ordered off of the regular menu. I started out with an espresso martini which was okay, not the best and not the worst. Next I had a Caesar salad that was drowning in dressing that was too creamy and rich for me. The cheese pizza had a nice dough but the marinara and cheese were below average. I've had better pizza from a gas station, but I was starving since I'd already been there for 45 minutes. My friend only ate one slice of hers. I suppose we got what we paid for since it was only $25 per person. By the time we got our checks and were ready to go check out the book store, there were very few options left. If it weren't for the great company and the chance to check out Austen's Shelf, this night would've been very disappointing.

When I reviewed the menu, there was no Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad, which is what I was hoping for. So I asked the server if they could make one, to which she replied, "No problem!"

The veal parm was a huge chop, bone in and butterflies. It was crispy and cheesy. We had a side of angel hair in marinara. The sauce tasted fresh but it wasn't anything that blew me away. The crab cakes were just jumbo lump meat and little else. The basil sauce on top gave it a little zing. The pasta and crab was good, but the sauce was a little under seasoned. The desserts were the best part of the dinner. The chilled pies were fabulous. We has banana cream and coconut cream. Neither would disappoint. Overall, it was good but not as good as the prices would suggest.

Booming Shrimp app was great. Short rib poutine was ok, but…read morepoutine needs "squeaky" cheese curds, this dish didn't have those. Main courses of fish and chips, chicken parm were good. Chicken francaise was ok, good lemon, but kinda sweet. Wait staff was attentive, but What was disappointing surprise was we were seated at 4pm, and early bird is 3 to 5. Chicken francaise was listed as an early bird choice. However we ordered 2 of those and both were charged full price at end of meal. When I asked if we ordered too late for the cheaper early bird price the waitress said "you didn't say the words 'early bird special' when you ordered" so you oay full price. Very surprised at lack of customer centric manner.. either ask the customer during order process since YOU know there are 2 prices possible, or assume if someone orders something on the early bird list, they want that price...... Net: future customers beware of that trick.... not sure I will ever go back.

I'm not sure if the man helping us was the owner or the manager, but you don't see that often. I love seeing someone in a higher position stepping in and helping out with customers. I honestly think that made the experience even better. And the food was definitely worth it! The pizza was amazing. We got a pizza, mild buffalo wings, and Bufalina coal-fired pizza, along with refillable drinks (seltzer and lemonade). The total was around $60, and I left a $20 tip. So in total $80-$90. The wings were nice and crunchy, which I really LOVE, and everything we ordered was delicious. I really enjoyed the whole experience! Btw there parking around the restaurant. It could fit about 15-20 cars and inside there is two sections to sit. If you want a little taste of NYC pizza or italy i highly recommend this place. Highly recommend if you're around the Egg Harbor or Atlantic City area!

Tonight my wife and I tried it for the first time and it was not just good but great. Clean, friendly, and well managed. Everything was fresh! Everything was made to order! Everything came out fast! Our server, Antony, was a pro server! attentive and knowledgeable of the whole menu. We started out with a red beet salad made with crispy arugula and a house made vinaigrette. The buffalo wings and panzerotti were deep fried to perfection. The panzerotti was a masterpiece of puffed up deliciousness, but not a bit greasy tasting. You can tell the mozzarella was a quality cheese and the marinara sauce had to be made from scratch. We are in the area a lot and just found our new goto pizzeria.
