Love going in the warmer weather when they open up the doors and have the bar serving on the patio. And let's face it, if you know anything about Arite's you know that there will always be a wait on the weekends. Having the bar and the patio makes waiting a breeze! The food is seriously better than ever. I actually think the pizza is even better at this new spot than the previous location. The sleeper favorite for me is the maple bacon pizza. Takes the white pie to another level and has become a go to for me. Always, I repeat always, order the meatballs and save the sauce for your pizza crust. The farmers salad is always a must for me as well. No one does a salad like Artie's. Give this place a shot because trust me, you won't be disappointed.

This place checks every box. My guys and I kicked things off at the bar with a couple of vodka on the rocks, setting the tone before sitting down for what turned out to be some of the best food I have had in Jersey City. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the history. Tucked away on a quiet side street with barely any foot traffic, yet still thriving. That tells you everything you need to know. They are doing it right. I will not run down every dish because honestly it does not matter. Everything that hit the table was on point. Do yourself a favor and trust the wait staff. Let them guide you. They know exactly what they are doing and will not steer you wrong. This is the kind of place you keep in your rotation. I am already looking forward to coming back, next time with the family.

I've been born and raised in Jersey City and ,come to just, recently, find out about this hidden…read moreJersey City gem! It's a small, house like ,Italian restaurant and it's a Must Try!! I loved the fact that it's a small house like,cozy restaurant with a valet parking lot, which makes it even more convenient . I did, however, find parking on the side street and was even a pleasant little walking distance away. Since we were just a party of two, we did not need to reserve a table , but, if you do have a large party of people, you should definitely call and reserve! The restaurant isn't that big at all, so, there might be a little wait time, if you're there at a busy time. We were there on a Saturday night( two people) and waited for about ,not even 10 minutes. However, it's definitely worth the wait! It's a family friendly atmosphere and the service was very good! Very friendly staff and pretty fast service. I loved how it's all bricked wall and just so cozy! I have heard that their Chicken Parm was absolutely amazing and delicious. And so, we ordered the Chicken Parm and comes with side dish of pasta.( I had the linguine). I didn't expect the Chicken Parm to be a pretty big portion, so that made it even better! (Especially, when you're hungry and have been waiting to try this Chicken Parm I've been hearing about. lol!). Since the portion of the Chicken is pretty big, the side dish of the spaghetti, is just PERFECT! It's sauce and cheese is just mouth watering and a must have!! Now,Let's talk about their House Salad! DELICIOUS!! Their house dressing was so tasty and fresh and definitely makes their salads stand out! That homemade tasting bread was also very good and crunchy! I definitely Recommend, trying their House Salad and Chicken Parm! The house salad portion ,was just perfect for two people. As we loved everything about Laicos, and were completely Stuffed, lol! We couldn't leave ,without having and trying their Dessert , which is the Italian chocolate round like ball,stuffed with ice cream! That just made everything ,even better, before leaving for the night! I highly Recommend and must try!!

We stumbled upon it on TikTok and Yelp and almost immediately knew we had to go. We are so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted with a friendly hello and genuinely attentive service. The staff took their time explaining the menu, encouraged us to look things over, and offered recommendations without making us feel rushed. One of the best parts of the experience was the atmosphere. You can instantly tell Tony's is a true neighborhood staple. People were constantly coming in and out, and it was especially sweet seeing kids stopping by after school to grab a slice. It gave the place such an authentic and welcoming feel. The food was exactly what we needed. It was fresh, delicious, and full of that classic pizza-shop comfort. This ended up being the very first place we ate on our trip, and it set the bar high. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. With love from Georgia

The food was absolutely amazing really flavorful and well done. Just be a little prepared that most dishes come in smaller portions. But the quality definitely makes up for it. I ordered the paella, and it's easily enough for two or even three people and it was well worth it. Really delicious. The drinks were also definitely worth trying while you're there. The only thing I wasn't big on was the desserts they didn't quite live up to the rest of the meal. But overall, great atmosphere, excellent food, and a fun experience. I'd definitely come back.
