Decided to give this place a try one day and I was immediately hooked! The atmosphere was great and the food was even better. The service is amazing and I have never had a bad experience here. The staff always made sure I was well taken care of. This quickly became my go-to spot for good food and relaxation. Definitely give it a try if ur in the area! read more

First time pre ordering through grub hub... chose this cafe, left specific instructions, potatoes well done, they are burnt, ordered 2 black coffee, only sent 1 and it had milk or creamer in it. Yes, Pronto is sending the missing coffee however, I am a coffee drinker, I need my coffee now. Asked for extra butter on my rye toast, love the bread but it's dry... didn't get extra butter.. lesson learned. Portion of Spanish omlette looks good... read more

I ate both breakfast and lunch here before. The price for most items are reasonable and I like the availability of a large sit-down dining area. What was memorable was their mushroom pizza I got once at lunch. May be I was really hungry but it was pretty awesome. I would recommend come over to this place for a down to the earth breakfast without breaking the bank. read more

I love Prontos, but I can't believe I got charged $14.88 for this slither of salmon & half a container of rice. This is ridiculous. I personally don't feel like this is worth $14.88. I'm so disappointed because this isn't my first time ordering this meal. However, this is the first time I was played. Flavors were ok though. read more

I ordered through Grubhub and the delivery came pretty quick. I had an order of five wraps. I ordered a chicken chipotle wrap and it was delicious. It had sauce with lettuce and tomato.There were a lot of orders and it was all correct. I am pleased with this order. For the price it was, it was very pocket friendly. I plan on ordering from this place again and I will tell my family friends about it. read more

Pronto Cafe - R3. Chipotle Chicken Wrap - Sandwiches Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE! 50 minute late delivery (should probably tip cash to offer a promptness incentive, I suppose - lesson learned). Cold food (probably because of the extra hour of delivery time, I'm guessing). Missing toast from one platter, along with oddly mushy hash browns. Will not be reordering. Will be leaving this review everywhere. read more

I Love Me Some Pronto! When I first moved to the University Heights area in Newark, I had no clue where to go to get some tasty food! When I asked people in the area for suggestions, the one place that constantly came up was Pronto Cafe. This recommendation was a home run! What i love most about Pronto is their cheap "create your own salads". One can choose between lettuce or spinach and up to four veggie ingredients, meat is extra. And you cant beat their delicious garlic knots for $1.50. If you are looking for something on the savorier side, try the beef gyro. The beef gyro is tender, juicy and filling! Pronto provides a great fast-casual atmosphere with tasty food and fair prices. It's an excellent place to grab a quick bite to eat with friends and or to-go. read more

Pronto Cafe - waited at counter for 5 mins to ask for a slice of this scilian pizza 2 men at counter ignored me so i walked out - Sandwiches Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

They knew what they were doing when they called this place Pronto Cafe. I was able to order, get my food, and pay within 7 minutes. I ordered a chicken caesar wrap, which was okay. It tasted like any quickie chicken caesar wrap with lettuce, an oil-based dressing, chicken, and store-bought crispy croutons. They are generous with their chicken and heat it on the grill, which adds a nice touch. They also have a lot of variety from pizza to salads to sandwiches. I would come here again to grab a quick meal, but I would probably try a different order. read more

I am rating Prontos based on their "OATMEAL". I've tried Famous and Annabella's and nothing compares to this oatmeal. It's nice and creamy and has great flavor to it and the best part it tastes homemade. A small costs $1.95 and a large costs $2.95. Definitely a must try. Don't even have to add anything on top of it. read more

Pronto Cafe - Love this oatmeal - Sandwiches Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

Oh! How I miss this food! Every time I eat there I get not only a healthy portion but wonderful options for a very reasonable price. They offer good food and a great attitude. Sam, the owner always welcomes you with a smile. It's nice to know that in a town where eateries come and go, this one is here to stay! read more

I love their oatmeal, home fries, and salads! It's a shame that their customer service isn't the greatest. read more

You simply cannot get a much better deal. This is just excellent. I tried their special drink and it was solid! Great customer service at Pronto Cafe, I've experienced hospitality at its best! It's totally worth it! read more

I have placed many breakfast and lunch orders, including office meals since 12/18. it seems the guy taking orders doesn't care at all about the customers. I speak very clearly and constantly remind him of the specifications to my order and he seems to not write down what you tell him and always tends to get the order completely wrong. I at times have requested for the ladies to take my order as they pay attention. The last order I placed was a breakfast order: 2 eggs over medium, burned (i specified this detail) corn beef hash, told him I would wait 20 more minutes if necessary, rye toast with butter no potatoes. Believe me when I tell you, I repeated it at least 3 times, and sad to say he repeated it back to me correct. It seems he put the order completely wrong, over easy eggs and none of my specifications. I received eggs with raw egg white, pale corn beef hash, untoasted toast. I called in to let them know, the guy answered and decided not to care when i spoke to him and brushed me off to one of the ladies. She dealt with it professionally and said I would get my order the next day "comped",. Since she was familiar with my orders she understood my frustration. Next day, its a different story, the owner says 25% off...I have thrown out my breakfast before and i have also come to the shop with it in hand to express my dissatisfaction, the staff there (the family staff) don't really care about making things right. They will tell you that the grill is no longer available for breakfast and not care. My office staff will no longer order from this establishment. Nepotism will bring down your business. read more

Great place friendly service a lot of variety. I love coming in the morning very good breakfast food!

Ordered a spinach salad and asked the server to add some crab meat salad from the menu. Long story short, I was sent home from work with food poisoning. I went to the store this morning to let them know their crab salad is spoiled. They had the left over salad from yesterday in the fridge, ready to be put outside today. I told the owner what happened, we spoke with the person who claims he makes the salad fresh every day. I asked them to show me the salad and it was clearly spoiled. They're looking at me like I'm crazy. I did not receive an apology, did not receive offer for my money back, nothing. I will never give them a red cent again. And truthfully, one star is too generous. I give them a -5 rating. read more

Pretty mediocre. The food is okay, but it's far from great or even good. The restaurant's ambiance is what you get when you try to do something as cheaply as possible--it makes a McDonald's look lavish by comparison. This place is fine if you're a student looking for cheap eats or a nearby office worker looking for something fast, but no one would go out of their way for the food or atmosphere here otherwise. read more

The food was disgusting!! It was late after I ordered at 10:30 am, for lunch time-12pm. The food had no flavor, the cream sauce from the tortellini spilled all over the bag. The beef barley was greasy. How can soup be greasy? Steer clear folks!! read more

I love the specials but you have to get there early. They run out quickly. The turkey bacon is a bit weird.

This is a great spot for good food. The service was great amd thw proces are very reasonable! I highly recommend this place.

Ok so this place is a toss up for me!!! There food is pretty good no complaints but they can't get there orders right. Every time we order from this place know matter how many time we repeat the order someone always seems to mess it up. Either they bring the food one order at a time or they always forget something or add there own shit to your food WTF! This is bad for business and a inconvenience for an office full of hungry women.. Prontos cafe please get your orders together!!!!! read more

The specials are pretty good, and I love me some Garlic Knots! There's always a wait, but they deliver relatively quickly.... however when you order by phone, they usually get something wrong or leave something out, so I prefer to walk over, weather permitting. The salad bar is pretty good too. And the wings are also good, though not hot. read more

My order took 1 hour and 51 minutes to arrive. I would never order from Pronto again, except that my cold strombolis were fantastic! Maybe they get better with age... read more

I order lunch here frequently and the food is fresh and it always tastes great. The customer service has always been very good and deliveries come quick. They have great salads and sandwiches. The gyro is also very good and they use real gyro meat from the cone. read more

Don't be fooled by their 99cent pizza specials on Mon & Weds. It was the greasiest pizza ever. I usually soak up the oil with napkins..I had to use about 10 napkins and there was still grease left. Gross. I feel the pimples forming in my face. Never getting pizza from here again. read more

Place is disgusting. Food tasted stale. Decor sucked ass. Spoke to the owner- what a prick didn't want to accommodate me whatsoever. I need to stay home and cook. Wouldn't feed this slop to a dog. read more

Hands down, the best pizza and Italian specials in Newark. Busy at lunchtime but the place is kept immaculate. Highly recommended!

We had these folks cater a 5 day event with coffee and tea and they sent us a bill for $600! When we disputed the charges the owner programmed his fax machine to call all of my staff's cell phones every night - I've had 300 calls from them since last week and they refuse to negotiate or stop. We're in Canada and the police told us they couldn't do anything because it's from an unknown number (even though the owner has told us he would stop when we pay) This guy is insane!! don't support this business! read more
