Grilled Chicken with Prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich
Craig I.

Fantastic local pizza joint that has an upgraded fancy restaurant feel but a comfortable neighborhood vibe at the same time. I'm working my way through the menu but so far I've had the pizza, chicken Florentine wrap and the grilled chicken and prosciutto sandwich. Everything was excellent!

Plain pie

8/17/25 - Full disclosure: my intentions were to review the pizza and chicken parm from Rustoni's Pizza in Sayreville yesterday. But my issue was the generosity of the portions and the kind way we were treated by the staff. We placed our order and before sitting down, Andrew and I were admiring the slices in the showcase. Andrew commented how good the Margherita Pizza looked while I was probably drooling over the Drunken Grandma slices. We sat down to wait for our order and the manager called us over to pick up two slices of each to sample! He absolutely wouldn't take no for an answer. And those slices were spectacular! I didn't take pics because we were in the lobby and it would have seemed weird but we are definitely going back for a full pie of each. So, the chicken parm came with a side salad that was enormous. It would have satisfied Elaine and her search for The Big Salad I had a slice of plain so I could review it and realized there was no way I could eat the chicken parm. So that went into the fridge for Monday's lunch. The plain pizza (neopolitan style) can stand up to anything in this area and probably even places in Staten Island and Brooklyn. The sauce is so savory and the plentiful cheese meets my premium requirements. I don't want to call the crust the star here but it's definitely in top billing with the cheese and sauce. It's crispy outside and chewy and substantial inside with a great pizza dough flavor. I believe they may rub it with olive oil because it's not dry at all. And because of how substantial it is, there is no limpness at all. The chicken parm is as good as any in this area. Great breading, great sauce and more of that premium mozzarella. My only knock-- and it would be nitpicking -- is two or three of the chicken bites were stringy but definitely not the entire plate. This could be a result of reheating or simply being sliced in the wrong direction. Remember kids, slicing chicken against grain adds to making it tender. Slicing with the grain, makes it stringy. So pleased with this place. And business must be good because they grabbed the next storefront in the building, busted down the wall and opened an Italian cafe that looked pretty darn good. Andrew also commented on the foot traffic being on the heavy side as well. Overall Rating: A-

Guy is a complete jerk. Needs to be spoken to by owner

food is absolutely delicious. came here with my team and sat down for lunch. great atmosphere great service and extremely clean in here. however I was sitting down and a worker came over to my co workers and I and completely ripped us for having a reusable bottle of water. I then proceeded to order a salad for lunch. I was eating pre packed food I had for lunch and he then told me "no food in here, we sell food" in a complete rude way. Completely hawking my coworkers and I. I get it, we all have bad days. But this leaves a disgusting taste in my mouth. I don't appreciate being disrespected ESPECIALLY when I am patronizing your business

I stopped ordering from here because pizza quality went down. Last time I got a burnt pizza...pizza burnt again! O

Really, really good tavern pie, although I wouldn't necessarily call it a traditional tavern pizza…read more When I think tavern, I think crackery crust. That is not this. The caramelized ring of cheese around the edge is brilliant. The bottom was a hair undercooked and therefore a little limp but not too bad. One other reason for the limp is the very generous amount of cheese that solidifies into a shield atop the pizza. The sauce is a tad sweet but not too bad. I know I have nitpicked a bit here but it is still excellent pizza and worth a stop if you are in the area.

8/14/25 - Went to a pizza shop today that I have never tried. I am not sure how I never ate here…read moreconsidering that I've driven passed this place a thousand times taking Alex to and from dance class. TJ's Pizza and Catering is located in Parlin, NJ. I went in with the intention of ordering a large plain and a large Sicilian. But there's a sign on the wall that refers to this place as the home of the Tavern Pie. Tavern Pie? What in the world is that? Never saw that anywhere on Staten Island when I was growing up. But if that's your specialty, scratch off the Sicilian and add one Tavern Pie. The good: The plain pie was wonderful. It's the neopolitan style we all grew up eating. When I opened the box, the aroma immediately brought me back to Al's Pizza on Jewett Ave in Staten Island. I knew I was going to like it. And it didn't disappoint. The flavor of the sauce explodes in your mouth on the very first bite. The crust was pretty good too... crunchy and very little limpness. The cheese is very flavorful. And its real cheese with flavor.... not the cheap version. The foot traffic in this place is incredible. It took about 20 minutes to cook the pies and in that time, I easily saw 25 people coming in. The staff is super friendly kick-starting conversations about football with the majority of the people that came in. And to their credit, they knew everyone's names! In my mind, this definitely speaks to them having a loyal customer base. The bad: I was not a big fan of the Tavern Pie. As I am learning, Tavern Pie is a very thin crust pie cooked well. TJ's version isn't terrible, but it's not one that I'd run to buy again. The sauce wasn't as flavorful and all that cooking took the flavor out of the cheese. Not sure why it wasn't as flavorful overall if it's the same ingredients just cooked longer. Maybe this your thing? It's nice to try but its not for me. Overall Rating: C+ My score probably should have been a smidge higher but when I try your specialty and it's just average, you get points taken off.

10/24/25 - Watching New York Rangers hockey in 2025 will drive you to comfort food. So off I went…read moreto another pizzeria. Today's stop was a place in Sayreville, NJ called Mia's Pizza Restaurant. Mia's is located in a strip mall at the corner of Bordentown Av. and Jernee Mill Road. Normally, when you look at a front window of a restaurant and see two different varieties of food, you should run away. Mia's boasts both Italian and Mexican food. What I've learned thru the years is, if you say you can make great Mexican food and great Italian food, then you can't make great anything. I ordered one plain slice and one sausage slice and hoped for the best. I was actually optimistic because every table in this place was taken. The good: Both the outer crust and undercarriage were spectacular. Crispy, crunchy and stood up perfectly with no limpness whatsoever. The crust is not dry at all. And the slices are big. Thank goodness I ordered a sausage slice as the sausage added a flavor punch that these slices badly needed. The problems: the sauce is pretty bland. It has a slight hint of basil flavor but there was no other Italian seasoning flavors that I could taste or even see. It also wouldn't hurt if they used a bit more sauce. The cheese is premium but like the sauce, they could use a bit more of it. There isn't a menu in sight. They have a menu board above the front counter. There are no prices on it however. If you aren't going to put out paper menus, then you really need to put prices on the menu board so your customers don't get unpleasant surprises. As much as I wanted to like this place, it just doesn't cut it. They do nothing to differentiate themselves from the stiff local competition. Overall Rating: C

I ordered the Stromboli and the guy asked me what I would like in it. He handmade each one which was surprising to me for such a little hole in the wall spot. I chose to have mine with meatballs, broccoli and spinach. It took about 15 minutes but I got a huge, piping hot cheese filled bread along with the fillings I selected. It was pretty good I must say and add only $7 then just $.95 for each topping it was well worth it.

After…read morewatching my old softball team get eliminated and then learning of the untimely passing of Nick Mangold, I was in need of good comfort food. The place is cute and spotlessly clean and I read a lot of great reviews online so I was very optimistic going in. I went with a plain slice and a Sicilian slice and my daughter went with two grandma slices. The plain slice was very large. It is a very thin pie that has a delightful outer crust. The outer crust is both crispy and moist. The undercarriage was a little bit limp and you would definitely have to fold the outer crust to eat it. I would be ok with that if it had a nice flavor punch but the sauce was somewhat flavorless and lacking Italian seasonings. Premium cheese is used here but with bland sauce, the damage is done. The Sicilian slice is very thick and you would expect it to be heavy but it is surprisingly very light. The outer crust and undercarriage are both crunchy, moist and delicious. Im not sure they let it ferment enough because it did have Sicilian flavors but not quite enough of it. And the sauce again is way too light on Italian seasonings. I was all ready to write a bad review until my daughter insisted I try a bite of her grandma slice. And it was SPECTACULAR. Tangy sauce with premium cheese and an abundance of Italian seasonings. The crust is crunchy and stood firm with no droop at all. And the slice itself is a flavor explosion. If you want to go and try it yourself, the grandma slice is definitely the way to go. Overall, it's a mixed bag here. The prices are really good here but I'd gladly pay up for a better seasoned slice. Overall Rating: B-
