This is another pizza place we love visiting. We came here twice in just two weeks of time span, because it was too good the first time. It's a small place with outdoor seating. We didn't have any issues as it was only two of us. For large groups, it would be much better to get it to go. The service is prompt. Food delicious. read more

This is definitely a spot worth visiting. I love that everything is made in house -- you can really taste the freshness in the food. The restaurant itself is beautiful and aesthetic, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting enough to keep you coming back. The meatballs were incredibly tender and full of flavor. While the pasta wasn't the best I've ever had, I did appreciate that it wasn't too heavy on my stomach. Overall, it's a great place for a nice meal and a great dining experience. read more

Very nice Italian restaurant in Ridgewood ... brick oven pizza was very good and the pizza Nutella to die for ...service was really prompt and personal very friendly read more

This place was in my list since a long time. I tried going here a few times but since they don't take reservations, I was put in a long wait time and couldn't try. But finally the time came! During winters the restaurant seems so cozy, rustic and perfect for a date night. And with summers they have outdoor seatings which looks a lot of fun too! It's a BYOB place. Coming to main part - FOOD We started off with a nice refreshing salad Siciliana - we gobbled up on it and it was finished within five mins! :) For pizzas, we ordered with class Margherita and Nostra (without the meat) - devoured both the pizzas! The wood fired pizzas were mind blowing and outstanding! The ricotta was so fresh - absolutely amazing! The staff is working continuously with a smiling face and so friendly! read more

THE GOOD ---------------- + Pizza and food in general are delicious!!! ++++ Polpette (meatballs in marinara) were amazing. Lots of marinara and came out piping hot and there were 6 in total. ++++ Gamberi (shrimp, garlic, breadcrumbs, lemon) was also fantastic. The shrimp were buried underneath a layer of baked breadcrumbs and the garlicky flavor of the appetizer was soooo good. ++++ Regina Margherita was an EXCELLENT artisan-style pizza. Pizza was super fresh and hot when it came out. It was slightly bigger than a personal pie and delicious, however, it was a bit floppy in that the dough gave out to the heaviness of the cheese. The only difference between this and the regular Margherita is the cherry tomatoes - feel free to skip the tomatoes. ++++ Capricciosa (basically a Margherita pizza, but with mushrooms, artichoke, olives and prosciutto) - Once again, excellent, excellent pizza. It was a little bit top heavy in that there were so many ingredients on it, which made it extra floppy. Would have preferred the dough to be a bit sturdier to support the cheese and toppings. + Service was 10/10! All of the employees were friendly including the manager, who took the order of every table! Food arrived fast and empty plates were removed fairly quickly. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Spacing, spacing, spacing. Restaurant was VERY tight. To get in and out of the inside seats of the tables, the tables had to be moved out so room could be made to walk in and out. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = No reservations are taken and you must arrive in person to put your name down for a table. = Was crowded on a Friday evening right after opening for dinner at 5 PM. If you're not present when the doors open, you'll miss the 1st dinner seating and have to wait about 1 hour for the 2nd dinner seating. read more

- Restaurant was already packed when we arrived at 5:20p on a frigid Friday evening--if you miss the first seating at opening, be prepared to wait close to an hour; tables did open up throughout our meal but were immediately filled by new diners - The outdoor fire pit was a lifesaver and kept us warm and toasty while we waited outside - Very small, cozy, intimate space--tables are close enough that you're essentially sharing with your neighbors; removing even one table would make things more comfortable, as servers currently have to pull tables out to let diners in and out - Holiday music was playing in the background, but mixes in and out with the neighboring conversations - Service was extremely friendly from start to finish--genuinely warm hospitality - Food was PHENOMENAL--everything we ordered was absolutely delicious: we initially wanted the Polpo (octopus), but since they were out, our server recommended the Gamberi (shrimp), which was EXCELLENT--succulent shrimp topped with savory toasted breadcrumbs; Polpette (meatballs) were fresh, soft, and moist; Regina Margherita pizza arrived hot and loaded with a light, tangy tomato sauce and gooey mozzarella; Capricciosa pizza came out just as hot and fresh, offering a more earthy, savory flavor--personally would've preferred more mushrooms and fewer olives, but the flavors still married beautifully; we customized the Rigatoni by removing the spice and adding ground sweet sausage--the pasta was cooked PERFECTLY al dente with a satisfying bite, and the sauce was rich and flavorful without being overly heavy - Pizza is quite floppy, though the crust itself is soft and pleasantly chewy - A credit card fee applies here read more

We had a fantastic experience! This cozy Italian spot is a BYOB gem where the food truly shines. For just $100, we enjoyed a full spread: a fresh arugula salad, savory meatballs, pizza, pasta, and dessert--everything was delicious. Though they don't take reservations, we were seated immediately. I can't wait to go back! read more

We visited on a Saturday night, knowing that this place doesn't take reservations and tends to get very busy. We arrived around 5:45 PM and were told there would be about an hour wait for a table. Although there were outdoor tables available, it was too cold to sit outside, so we decided to wait. To pass the time, we grabbed a drink at Steel Wheel nearby, and sure enough, our table was ready in exactly an hour. The restaurant is a bit tight inside, but our waiter was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The four of us ordered three pizzas, an appetizer, and two pastas to share. The pizza was just as delicious as I remembered. I hadn't tried the pasta before, but the vodka sauce pasta was absolutely outstanding--the spice level was perfect, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. Overall, this is a fantastic spot, but be sure to arrive early to avoid a long wait! read more

S Egidio - Pizza Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

There's a LOT of pizza in New Jersey. A lot. And most of it is good. But S. Egidio is special. Here's why: They have an inventive menu. Supremely fresh ingredients adorn a crust that's got great chew. Sauce is on point with the right balance of simple flavors. Meats, cheeses, herbs... the best. But the thing that really separates them from the pack is their oven. It fires pizza like you'd find on a side street in Naples. Be prepared for a bit of a wait. The cozy place is popular but the service is as excellent as the pizza so it's all worth it! read more

It is like being in Napoli, Italy! Fresh homemade pasta! We were a party of 10! For appetizerswe had gamberi, torreta, and polpo! The shrimp, eggplants and octopus were all delicious. Octopus was tender and soft! Eggplants and fresh mozzarella was to die for! And the shrimp in cast iron was so tasty! For pizza, we had a margherita! It was like being in Napoli Italy! The dough was soft and airy! The pasta was freshly made! We had the tagliatelle. The bolognese sauce was perfect! Not sour or sweet! The pasta was soft, thick, and al dente! , We had the menu special, steak with potatoes seared in the pizza oven! We had it medium rare! It was cooked perfectly! We brought our own birthday cake which they charged a $25 cut fee! We wished it was waved off for the amount of food we ordered. We had two of each appetizers we ordered and a pizza and pasta for each couple! The place is a BYOB and we brought 5 bottles of wine that we finished! This saved us a lot on the alcohol bill! All and all, this place had great service and great food! Also, the olive oil tasted fresh from Italy! It was great with the bread! read more

Our friends had hyped up this place so our expectations were high! Thankfully we got seated right away and ordered Nostro and Bianca . The place is small and the seating is very tight so we relished the smell of the nearby pizzas while waiting for ours. The service was fast and the pizzas no doubt were one of the best and I see myself coming here over and over again in future. Completely blown away with the taste and freshness of the cheese. I gobbled them within minutes. Wish they took reservations, heard they are super busy almost always. Anyway perfect carb load for a Sunday afternoon read more

service was great - was recommended this place by coworkers and it was such a let down :( my mozzarella was actually frozen with ice on it and the pizza was beyond watery. Did not understand why this place has the hype i left feeling ill and unpleased read more

Ordered to go - the pizzas we had were unimpressive from both a flavor and portion perspective. The pesto pasta was the worst pasta I've had -- odd texture and flavor was off. Disappointing, because everything we ordered looked good. Given the relatively high pricing, I expected better on multiple fronts. read more

Too cramped. They tried to set my family at a table with a random group of strangers. I couldn't even get up to use the bathroom or wash my hands because the tables were touching. Ended up leaving before we ordered because of the poor service/atmosphere!!!!! read more

Casual pizza spot with great service and good music. The ingredients are so fresh. My one feedback is that the pizzas can be very soggy from the toppings. The center crust was very floppy and soaked in oils from the toppings but the flavor was still excellent read more

This spot is small and cozy gem. The staff definitely gets workout pushing tables out to let people on bench in comfortable manner before pushing it back. This spot felt very much like a date night the day we went but needless to say my friend and I still enjoyed ourself. This place is byob and they have sangria mix I believe on the menu if you wanted to add your wine. For appetizer we ordered caprese di bufala and it was yummy. For entree we got spicy rigatoni and toscana pizza no sausage. The pasta was a little el dente for me but sauce was good however the pizza here won me over as it was delicious. I would definitely come back here to try the other pizza. The service was great and attentive. They do not take reservations so the wait can be long. read more

Some good things and some less good things. Most important was coming to try their Pizza since I am a big time Pizza snob from New York. Crust was excellent cheese was a little subpar sauces that I expected and it was a very good pizza. As long as you like that style. We got three appetizers. The burrata appetizer was excellent the shrimp appetizer was very good the octopus appetizer was terrible. Definitely not prepared the way any fine restaurant prepares octopus it was plentiful and it was tough. Our server was very attentive and did a good job we were happy to be able to sit outside. It's always crowded here clearly people love it I'd want it to come to see what all the fuss was about and it was pretty average at the end of the day read more

Good spot to check out if you are looking for good pizza. Even their appetizers and specials are very tasty! If you are ordering more than 1 pizza from here - I suggest getting one at a time as it can get soggy after a while, plus it tastes so much better fresh! Pizzas are made to order and you can see the staff making it in front of the brick oven :) Some entrees that I've enjoyed very much here are the Polpo e Patate (Octopus Salad), Caprese Di Bufala, Margherita Pizza, Pugliese Pizza and their Shrimp & Lobster Ravioli Special. Its a small spot so it can get crowded during peak hours. It's BYOB which is great. Service has always been attentive and excellent every time I've been here. read more

Pizza was floppy even when I asked for it to be cooked well done. All the toppings fell off when I tried to hold it, I felt it was expensive for the quality I ordered. read more

I am ecstatic, that I came across this restaurant. From the moment that we walked up to the entrance, they had a staff member waiting to greet us. The place is not large, but they do have outdoor seating, as well. Our server, Mark, was very cordial and accommodating. He gave us good recommendations and regularly checked to see if we were enjoying this blissful journey. The food.......the food...... THE FOOD! I've had hundreds of Regina Margherita pizzas, but I can place S. Egidio's in the top 5! Not only was it magnificently created, but they added small slices of tomato, and the crust was perfectly charred. The pie disappeared in, what seemed, seconds. The Marzano Pizza wasn't far behind. The ingredients were very fresh, the crust was pleasantly thin, and oh so flavorful. I cannot give enough recommendations for S. Egidio's. Come and experience this for yourself and enjoy the ride. read more

The first time I went to S. Egidio, it was phenomenal. True, the pizza was overstretched in the center and oversauced and subsequently fell apart, but the spicy rigatoni was the stuff of dreams. I felt it was the perfect blend of vodka sauce and Mac n cheese velvetiness. The beef ragu pasta was also above-average. The tiramisu didn't have any alcohol in it and was also lovely. I wouldn't shut up about it for weeks until my husband brought me back. My next visit at S. Egidio was unrecognizable. The service was...odd. We ordered one of the white pizzas, the spicy rigatoni, and the fra diavolo special. The pasta was undercooked although the sauce was still magic...I was so so sad. After ordering the fra diavolo, we realized there was no mention of pasta so we asked for a side of plain fettuccini. This fettuccini was clearly made from the scraps of other pasta or was otherwise seriously overworked. The ratio of egg to flour was way off, as if it must have been a mistake batch. It was thick and difficult to chew. We don't generally send things back to the kitchen, but it was simply inedible and we were forced to send it back. The seafood in the fra diavolo was cooked well, but the sauce was just not spicy and lacked sorely in salt/seasoning. Also, it did not even come with bread! The waitress suggested we dip our pizza crust in the sauce, which was a good idea but...no bread? The white pizza was better second time around. I opted for white to avoid a saucy breakdown like the first time. In all honesty, I should be giving S. Egidio 2 stars. However, my first experience with that spicy vodka pasta was so wonderful I just can't bring myself to do it. read more

Excellent food - on par with the best places in Manhattan. The music can be a bit loud and fast beat. But the service was excellent and fast. Friendly,, smart, and attentive waiter. Everything was cooked with care, meticulousness, with great ingredients. My favorite was the gnocchi with pesto sauce, soft with structure. The pastas are not too saucy (which tend to plague a lot of traditional Italian places). The pizza was thin crusted with a fluffy-ness to the crust (reminiscent of Neapolitan pizza places in San Francisco). I really liked the tirolo pizza with prosciutto and ricotta. Other ones that I would recommend: - arugula salad. Good complement to pizza - Panna cotta. Not too sweet. The right texture. - pistachio gelato, with some crunchy nuts. read more

I've only had take-out from the place before, but today was a nice day with good weather so the family decided to go for a walk in Ridgewood. This was one of the only few places that was not packed. Not sure why, but it was a good chance to go and try out their fresh pizza instead of take-out. I have to say, the food was waaaay better fresh. We order 3 pizzas and a salad. One of them was a spicy pizza, not too spicy but had a nice kick in the flavor. The place itself was a very small few tables along the wall type of layout. Makes me think of a hole in the wall type of restaurant that serves banging pizzas. Dim lighting and tables so close you'll think you're sitting on someone's lap. The service was good, no complaints there. Water was always filled, got checked on every once in a while. I'm sure that's because we were basically sitting in the kitchen being how small it was. I'd go back again, but I'd probably want to sit outside and not cooped up like a bunch of chickens. read more

The main purpose of coming to the area was to dine at another restaurant but they were closed. A quick search and we walked another 5 mins to S Egidio and it did not disappoint. I got the Regina Margharita and it was absolutely delicious. The only complaint is that the cheese slid off immediately as I took one bite and all that's left was the crust and bread. The flavor was great and I love the taste of the crust. I inhaled this pie in 10 minutes. read more

Three of us came on a Thursday night. We got seats at the bar. One friend ordered the meatballs and shrimp for appetizers for the table. I loved the ricotta and sauce on the meatballs but did not try the meatballs. I was saving myself for the pizza. They both loved them. Shrimp were great and very popular. I got my usual pizza- margarita with arugula on top. It was perfect. If I lived closer I would eat this every week! OMG the pistachio ice cream was to die for. Seriously - go for it! Our handsome waiter Anthony was so attentive and pleasant. Service great despite it being busy. Highly recommend! Wish I lived closer! read more

I know this place has received raved reviews and I have no doubt their pizza is delicious but when I stopped in, I was not very hungry so I ordered their Antipasto Della Casa Board. With this board, there were two types of imported Italian cured meats and handcrafted cheeses served with honey. The selection was underwhelming but I did notice the wood fire pizza oven and the pizzas being made, they looked delicious. I will have to come back here to try the pizza! Another reason why I gave this place 3 stars is because seating was very tight which did not provide the best atmosphere. read more

Great food especially their pizzas if you like Neapolitan style. I like this place for lunch because I feel their apps and pizza are better than the entrees and great for sharing. It's also pretty small inside so getting a table for dinner is somewhat difficult. Service was fantastic. Overall good food but wish they had better options and i just wish there was more room in there. read more

Amazing food and service!! We had the DSB pizza, Rigatoni, and the Regina Margarita pizza all super delicious! The star of the show however was the Nutella Calzone. STUFFED, perfectly fluffy and just AMAZING!! Highly recommend!! read more

We had originally made reservations at another restaurant down the street, but when we walked past the outside tables and caught a glimpse and the whiff of the amazing food, we HAD to eat here instead. We opted to cancel our other reservation and wait 35 mins for a table - worth it. We were impressed with the wait staff and food selection. You MUST try their pizza and can never go wrong with burrata. The meatballs were good, but a little pricey and perhaps unintentionally overly charred? read more

Came here again for a girl friend's bday and it was still a really awesome experience!! We came at 7pm and was able to sit right away! We got the blood orange sangria in a pitcher which was DELICIOUS! And I was able to try more types of pizza. The pugliese was definitely the star of the night! So delicious! The d.s.b. Was good if you like meatballs and vodka sauce on your pizza. We also tried the tagliatelle pasta which was better than the pasta I got last time! Thick noodle, bolognese sauce, very classic tasting. Service was attentive regardless of how busy it got. It does get loud and people start packing in bc of the wait. The seating arrangement is cramped and tight so prepare to squeeze in between two tables to get to yours. read more

We went here for a quick bite, and we're seated right away. The food was absolutely delicious. This is the kind of place. I have to come to multiple times because there's so many things on the menu that I want to try! The service was good, our server seemed a little bit out of it, but she was still attentive.

Stopped here to grab an espresso to go. The decor was excellent, as it was reminiscent of New York City. The brick oven is front and center and can't be missed, making a cool focal point for the place. The pizzas that were coming out were beautiful. They smelled great, looked great, and were clearly made with pride. For a rainy Sunday afternoon, we were surprised by the sheer number of people crowding this place. All great signs! Espresso was fresh, authentic, flavorful, and strong! Would come back for espresso, and definitely pizza, in the future! Staff were courteous and kind. Restaurant was clean. read more
