Gemini said Prima Pizza Kitchen: A Somerset County…read moreHeavyweight Located in the heart of Somerville, NJ, Prima Pizza Kitchen has become a high-stakes stop for pizza enthusiasts across the Tri-State area. Managed by the Becca family, this shop carries a legacy of Italian craftsmanship that has turned a local favorite into a viral destination. The "One Bite" Legend The shop gained massive national attention when Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports stopped by for one of his famous reviews. The visit was famously tense: the owner, Joe Becca, wasn't satisfied with the first "rushed" pie Dave tried and insisted he wait for a second, perfected version. The Barstool Rating: Portnoy officially scored the first pie a 7.7. The Controversy: After trying the second pie in his car, Portnoy admitted it was superior--praising the "tangy sauce" and "great undercarriage"--and unofficially gave it an 8.1. However, per his strict "One Bite" rules, the 7.7 remains the score on the record. Awards & Accolades Prima isn't just "internet famous"; it has the hardware to back it up. Pizza Bowl I Winner: They took home the trophy for Best Pizza in Central Jersey during the inaugural Pizza Bowl competition. NJ.com Honors: They are frequently cited in regional "Best of NJ" lists, specifically lauded for their Signature Pie, which features a secret marinara sauce and high-quality Grande cheese. A Legacy in the Making While the Becca family has been in the pizza business for over 35 years (with roots in the legendary "Joe's Pizza"), this specific Somerville location has been a staple of the downtown scene for years, helping anchor the borough's reputation as a foodie hub.

Ever. Parents got the Original with sausage, and they're STILL talking about it; both of them grew up in Northern New Jersey, so they KNOW good pizza when they taste it. This place is just THAT exceptional. Hours are a little odd, but service was spot-on, bathrooms are not handicap accessible and behind the kitchen, but very clean and in good working order. Overall, we all will be back again, when we have the time to make the hike over from Philly!

Naturally, I walked in expecting a life-changing pizza experience... maybe angels singing... maybe my taste buds ascending to another dimension. What I got instead was a good pie -- just not quite the legendary, internet-breaking experience I had built up in my head. First thing to know: this place is old school. When they sell out, that's it -- game over. We actually had to call in our order hours in advance, so there's a bit of a jumping-through-hoops situation if you want to secure a pie. Also, there's no table service. You order your pie at the counter, grab a table if one's available, and drinks are in that classic see-through fridge where you grab them yourself. Parking is street parking only (no dedicated lot), so be ready to circle a bit. One pro tip: cash is cheaper than credit card here. Now the pizza itself. The cheese had nice blistering and the ingredients tasted fresh. The sauce definitely leans sweet, which I know a lot of people enjoy. Personally, I'm more of a tangy / saltier sauce guy, so the sweetness stood out to me. The dough is where I had mixed feelings. It held together nicely, but felt a little dry for my liking. I also tend to prefer wood or charcoal-fired pizzas because that smoky flavor adds another dimension that I didn't quite get here. Overall verdict: good pizza, just maybe a little overhyped for the score it got. Still worth trying if you're in the area -- just maybe leave the life-altering expectations at the door. Good pie. Just not quite the pizza enlightenment I was promised.

I'm not here to talk bad on other pizza places, I'm here to let y'all know Russo's is the truth. You guys know I'm not really a Glazer like I will call the food bad if it is.

I had one plain and one Sicilian. The plain slice was pretty good. It's a neopolitan style pie which I grew up eating on Staten Island. The Sicilian slice was excellent.

Parking is in the back in the ShopRite lot, or you can try to park on the street. Somerville has become quite a foodie town, and street parking can be difficult to find. We had a party of five and were seated promptly at a round table, which was nice. We could all chat and see each other. Our server was friendly and professional and answered all our questions about the food. The meals were entree-sized instead of lunch-sized. Alfonso's doesn't allow lunch portions on Sundays. To start, we were given a family-style salad. It was mediocre at best. Boring. Mostly iceberg lettuce, no tomatoes, red onion on top, carrots, and cucumber. The complimentary bread was good, but it wasn't Italian. We were given another basket after we finished the first one. The butter was in those little plastic containers. Nothing fancy. Our entrees were: Dinner Giambotta (mild): Italian sausage, peppers, onions, potatoes, garlic, white balsamic parmesan sauce. Shrimp and Scallop Scampi Scallops & Shrimp Al Limone: Imported Roman artichoke hearts, roasted peppers, and green olives in a lemon butter white wine sauce. Cheese Tortellini Al Forno: Rose sauce, parmesan, fresh mozzarella. Eggplant Rollatini. My daughter had a Mediterranean Mule, which consisted of Figenza fig vodka, ginger beer, & lime juice. She enjoyed it! We all enjoyed our fairly large entrees, and most of us took some home. I would recommend Alfonso's. I've been here before and enjoyed it as well.

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.
