We picked up for delivery (during COVID times) and the employees seemed to be acting very prudently, wearing masks and not allowing anyone inside. There were signs on the door directing customers how to proceed with getting their orders. I had the Chicken Caesar Wrap on a whole wheat wrap with an extra Caesar dressing on the side and it was very yummy. It did need that extra dressing though to be flavorful enough. And only $6.95! You really can't beat that. We also ordered sautéed broccoli to split amongst ourselves and with a little salt that was very good too. Overall, solid prices for solid meals! Would totally order from here again.

I've been a fan of Nola's since they first opened several years ago. The pizza - and everything…read moreelse - have been, and continue to be, fantastic. This review will focus more on the owner and his staff. Last week I reached out directly to Marc, the owner, as I've done in the past being a loyal repeat customer. My wife and I were hosting a get together at our house yesterday and needed to place an order. Sadly, we needed the order to be picked up before their usual business hours. Marc immediately offered to have his guys come in a bit early just to accommodate our order. When I got there yesterday for pick up, I was greeted warmly and offered an espresso on the house while I waited. What an experience! There are plenty other businesses in this area who would not do this, ever. Marc appreciates the support and loyalty and it truly shows. Of course everything was a major hit with our guests as well. You can pizza many other places, even in the former Nola's location coincidentally. What you can't get is treated like family. Thank you Marc, Steve, and the entire crew!

Easy to pick up with your hands. - Before this, we ordered a bunch of pizzas as takeout, and all of them were impressive. - The eggplant rollatini appetizer was good, and the calamari appetizer was well fried. - The staff is friendly and attentive, and the ambiance is perfect for a pizzeria; warm and casual. After getting takeout a bunch of times and now having gone in person three times, it's now our go to.

O Sole Mio is a gem in Cranford! They make excellent Italian food at very reasonable prices!…read more That's why this place has so many regulars. The owner is so gracious and hospitable. It's nothing fancy inside, but if you love Italian food you will love this place. They make one of best baked ziti's I ever had! If you love baked ziti you have to order it here! The pasta pescatori is another excellent dish here to try as well. The food doesn't come out fast so be prepared to wait, and their servers don't speak English well so that can be a bit frustrating. It definitely doesn't stop me from coming back to this gem. I highly recommend O Sole Mio in Cranford!

DoorDash Pizza Diaries - Calabria Pizza…read more Another dash, another slice--because if I deliver it, I have to try it. That's the rule. Calabria Pizza is one of those solid, no-nonsense neighborhood spots that knows exactly what it's doing. The pizza hits that sweet spot: a nicely cooked crust with just the right chew, sauce that's flavorful without being overpowering, and cheese that's balanced--not greasy, not sliding off the slice and ruining your shirt mid-bite (we've all been there). From a Dasher's perspective, orders were ready on time, staff was chill, and pickups were smooth--which already puts them ahead of half the places I visit. From an eater's perspective? This is dependable, classic pizza you'd happily order again on a random Tuesday when cooking feels like a personal attack. Is it trying to reinvent pizza? Nope. Is it doing the fundamentals right? Absolutely. If you're ordering through DoorDash or grabbing a slice in person, Calabria Pizza is a safe bet--and in the pizza world, that's high praise. Final verdict: out of 5 Reliable slices, good balance, and Dasher-approved efficiency. I'd dash it--and eat it--again.

The owner was friendly as soon as we walked in and told us it would be about 8 minutes for the pizza- super fast! I would be surprised if he even crossed the minute mark before it was in the oven. Great conversation with the owner while we waited, and learned he had a spot near Asbury Park before moving here and opening this location. They do some cool things like "2 foot slices" (for those days you only want a slice lol). Countless specialty pies if you are in the mood for unique offerings. A large cheese pie is less than what you would pay at a chain- that's a huge win win- support local! After getting our hot pizza, my wife and I knew 2 bites in that we would be coming back. Great flavor on the sauce and quality cheese. They cook their pies half in the pan and half on the stone and the crust is almost airy with just the right amount of crunch at the end. We loved talking to Joe about his fav spots in NJ and NY- and he is a pretty humble owner that gives flowers to the spots that he thinks are doing it right. Will definitely be back! Pro tip: Don't be embarrassed when Joe asks if you need a box for leftovers and you realize there are no leftovers!
