    Slices
    Thomas A.

    9/16/25 - We pre-gamed tonight at Prima Pizza Kitchen in Somerville, NJ. I've had mixed experiences at the pizzerias of that area so my expectations were pretty low. But tonight I was pleasantly surprised. Prima Pizza Kitchen definitely specializes in thin crust pizzas. There's not a great selection in the slice case up front, but I was able to spot a sausage slice to go with my plain slice for testing purposes. The plain slice had a super delicious sauce. Whoever made the sauce has a heavy hand when it comes to the Italian spices especially the oregano. And I certainly have no complaints about that. The cheese is a wonderful premium mozzarella and has great flavor. I loved the thin, crispy and crunchy crust. The knock on this one is it's a bit limp. The toppings don't slide off but you definitely have to get underneath it to take a bite. The sausage slice has all those same delicious attributes but the slices of premium sausage add wonderful flavor. Again, this slice is a bit limp but like its plain cousin, there's no toppings sliding off. Most importantly, both slices are top-ranked when it comes to flavor. Garlic knots were just what you'd want. Slightly crispy on the outside. And chewy, moist and doughy on the inside. Each had a wonderful garlic flavor inside and out--- and with each bite. The front counter guy wasn't the warmest fellow I ever encountered but he was efficient and served the slices and the garlic knots quickly. And all the food was served hot. Overall Rating: A-

    Prima Pizza Kitchen cauliflower pizza, mushrooms, peppers & onions.

    I promised I'd come in my next review for Prima. I opened the door and the heavenly smell of cooking pizza filled my lungs. Wonderful fast service. I got the same cauliflower pizza with onion peppers & sausage. Completely NOT in my diet . But it's Friday. And I happen to be in the neighborhood. Come in or order delivery

    Portnoy Barstool 8.1 Pizza

    This is the biggest hidden pizza gem in all of Jersey. Top 3 slices I've ever had arguably the best plain slice I've ever had. Depends on what type of style I'm in the mood for Very very very New York style pizza. Owner is a super nice dude that my brother in law is friends with from the gym. Always kept telling him to come on down and I'm sure as hell happy he decided to. The sauce has a great savory flavor, cheese isn't overpowering that the crust?? Oh my god

    Slice of Plain Cheese Pizza and Tuna Hoagie
    Mike A.

    Really enjoyed trying out Prima Pizza Kitchen! As followers of the One Bite from Barstool we knew we needed to try out their pizza because of the high ratings, and just as promised the pizza did not disappoint! It was thin crust with a healthy amount of cheese, and it was neatly made without it being sloppy. So definitely enjoyed. What I liked better however was the tuna hoagie. The lettuce and tomato were fresh, the seasoning was great, and the roll was fresh. The tuna salad itself was also wonderfully seasoned, and just like the pizza was neatly made. Highly recommend!

    Ordered the Portnoy thin crust. The pizza was horrible! It tasted like your everyday local chain plain pizza. Not to mention, the crust was from the prior day because it was stale and the crust falling apart when you ate it like it was chaulkey. It was not fresh dough and not worth $19. This will be the last time I come here. Their food is always hit or miss. I only came here because my typical spot Delucias was a 3 hour wait and wanted to give the Portnoy pizza a shot because it was rated an 8.1. My best guess is they made a special pizza just for him because they will never recreate it for anyone else! I guess I'll have to wait to get a good pizza at Delucias! IL Forno in Raritan even has a better pizza than this! I'm highly disappointed!! I would have eaten the whole pie if it was good. I had to at least fill my stomach because i was not going to buy another meal! I'll tell you where the rest of the pizza is going! Take a good frekin guess!!! It honestly tasted like they gave me a plain pie that was sitting out for walk-ins that they didn't sell!

    Eggplant Marinara Pizza
    Brittany D.

    This is my go-to spot for pizza. I tried it for the first time when I had out-of-state friends in town last summer since it made it on one of those Best of lists. And now I've ordered it pretty much every week since. Always great food. The pizzas are always packed with toppings and flavor. While I've tried a bunch of different pizzas from their menu the absolute best is the eggplant marinara. It's very saucy and some find it spicy but it's the best.

    Buffalo wings
    Jason N.

    Ordered from their catering menu for wings and pizza during super bowl. Called a few days in advance and it was ready for pick up. The food was hot and ready to go before I even arrived, wings were saucy and flavorful, my only complaint was that it was soggy by the time my party enjoyed them. Pizza was great. I wish the prices on their website reflected their actual prices because the lady on the phone told me that those weren't right and had to keep checking what they were so I knew what I was paying.

    We tried here last night (Halloween) after a lot of positive reviews from folks around Somerville. We called ahead of time and we're able to get through after multiple attempts. It was clear they were extremely busy. We were able to put an order in and they told us an hour and half for pick up. Totally fine. It was Halloween. We waited the hour and a half and went to go pick it up. Unfortunately when we got there, the food was not ready. We had to wait an additional thirty minutes or so. Ended up being little over two hours. The pizza was awesome! We got half grandma and half drummed grandma. Really good flavor. I bit into and instantly said: "this is the best pizza thus far in the Somerville area" since we moved here recently. The only thing we were a bit unhappy about were the wings. Not because they tasted bad. I feel they could be good. It's just that they were cold when we got home. I guess maybe they were made prior to the pizza. The pizza was completely warm. The wings were not. We heated them up in the oven and they ended up tasting wrought I want to point out, I can't fault them too much. They were working extremely hard in there and it was a holiday night. They were bound to be extremely busy. The only thing thing we minded was the wings. But mistakes happen. That's why we're going four stars on this one. I want to try them again. But probably not on a night like Halloween. Overall - pizza was amazing.

    Half salad pizza and half eggplant  Pizza was delicious!!!!

    See all

The strip mall itself isn't anything special, but the surrounding area is beautiful , and once you're inside, the restaurant feels warm and inviting. The food is fantastic, and the variety on the menu is impressive. The chef clearly knows what they're doing because every single dish we tried was genuinely delicious. It's the kind of spot where you can't go wrong: date night, dinner with friends, or anything in between. We brought our own bottle and had a great time. Our waiter was super knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. The staff even joked around with me when I forgot my to‑go bag, and yes, I absolutely took it home because the food is that good. I also appreciate that they don't act like offering takeout is beneath them; even the takeout bag was nice. I honestly wish my meals were this good every night. I hope everyone who works here is paid well and enjoys what they do, because they're running the place exactly how a restaurant should be run. It feels like a true community staple somewhere that transports you a bit and makes the whole experience feel special. Lovely all around.

It's tuck in a nook of a strip mall, but you will notice that the parking lot is packed. Seating has intimate small tables inside or larger tables for groups. Also, they have outside seating for those warmer days. I do suggest you make a reservation just because of the limited overall seating. I always like to start with a good calamari but what made it was the homemade sauce to dip them in. I also decided to go for the special which today was a crab cake stuff pasta. Luca's Ristorante is a hidden gem in Somerset, combining great food, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere. It's perfect for a casual night out, a family gathering, or a romantic dinner. Whether you're a fan of traditional Italian dishes or looking to explore new flavors, Luca's is sure to impress.

The service is quick too, I felt like our food came out quickly for the size of our group. One thing to note is that this restaurant is BYOB. The food - it was okay. The eggplant rolatini was fine, although I think the eggplant was sliced a little thick for the dish. The lobster ravioli sauce was good, but the ravioli itself was extremely thick (the pasta part). It felt like more ravioli than lobster. I was really excited about the tri color pizza, it sounds so yummy with all the sauces! I was disappointed to see that the stripes however are all of the 3 sauces you get. So I felt it really lacked in sauce. What I think should have been done, is thick stripes of the sauce, cheese on top, and then the stripes for the plating. My sister got the pesto pizza and the also complained that there was a lack of sauce. Overall, I think this restaurant is okay. I'm not really sure I would be back as there are other pizza places in the area where I've had better pizza.

Would we order them again? Probably not. But honestly, we're coming back for that pizza. Their pizza flavors and that perfect crispiness of the crust have us hooked. We definitely want to come back to try their appetizers and salads as well.
