10. Conte's Pizza

As a native of Princeton, NJ who dined at Conteâs recently with my family I am always amazed at how such an oddly located pizza joint that hasnât changed its decor for decades can attract so many ( it usually requires a long wait..) The answer is simple: very good pizza. Conteâs, a Princeton institution for decades, is located in a residential neighbourhood in Princeton a few blocks from Route 206, but not that easy to find. After an afternoon of Christmas shopping on a Sunday, I drove to Conteâs with my wife and two college-aged kids for an early dinner at 5:50pm on a Sunday, hoping to avoid a wait. Amazingly Conteâs was already packed and the line got bigger â we waited 25 minutes for a table. When we left around 7:30pm there were about 20 people in line, likely facing a 45-minute wait for a table.Conteâs is like a factory that cranks off pizzas and pours beer to its devoted patrons willing to endure a long wait for pizza, or pasta, and beer. While the staff is pleasant, itâs clear they are eager to turn tables to move diners in and out to optimize profits. It occurs to me that the old tables and uncomfortable chairs ( circa 1970 ) are not conducive to a lengthy stay.. they donât want you to linger but free up your table for the next guests. Conteâs serves very good pizza and they offer a decent mix of menu items plus a nice assortment of beer on tap or bottled. Donât go for the ambiance nor a fancy meal, but if you are looking for a unique pizza joint and you can tolerate a long wait to be seated, give it a try!

Been coming here since it first opened and always had a delicious meal with wonderful service. Ordered our two favorite pizzas today. Skimpy ingredients and no flavor at all. Seems to be under new ownership. Truly disappointing, especially when compared to its former excellence.

Driving through NJ and saw this place and stopped in. Wish we kept driving. They welcomed regulars with handshakes and backslaps - wow we thought- we might have stumbled onto a friendly jewel. Nope - we sat ten minutes with no attention as they chatted with regulars and asked after family etc. Once we ordered the food it took forever and no eye contact from bus staff, other waiters we tried to flag down to get more bottled water. Nothing. Ate our appetizer and took the rest to go. We get it - this is a place that caters to regulars. Donât let the tablecloths fool you. This is not a restaurant that welcomes you with the promise of good service. Read other reviews and wish this place the best. Good food does not mean good restaurant. The hostess apologized saying they were busy. Funny, I noticed plenty of empty tables.

Simple Italian inspired fare in a neighborhood trattoria style atmosphere in Princeton's Palmer Square. Fresh, local ingredients, seasonal pasta dishes, pizzette and a predominantly regional Italian wine list.

Our family went to celebrate a special occasion. We were seated outside in a very makeshift patio. It was a cold, rainy day, and the wind was blowing through the sides and of the plastic sheets hanging as outside âwalls.â No more ne thought to tape them done until we suggested it as we were reallyfreezing. Our table was squeezed into a small platform with a tricky step down. The food was good, but we didnât linger too long because of our physical discomfort. We asked twice for bread and never got it. Very disappointing.I am disheartened about your experience and glad your food was good. Unfortunately Mother Nature did not cooperate with the day. During the spring / summer season the side panels are removed. The restaurant confirmed all reservations in advance mentioning the forecast would call for 100% rain and high winds if sitting in our patio. The restaurant staff made everything possible to accommodate with overhead lamp heaters and fire towers making the environment comfortable for outdoors dining as much as we could. We welcome you back Chef Salvatore Scarlata

To get the best tasting Italian food in the area Cugino's is the most authentic Italian Market I have been to. Take home meals taste like you had at an upscale Italian restaurant or the best home cooked from an Italian family .Their menu is extensive. From dozen of choices of Salads, Bakery, Panninis, or just side dishes. Take home is serious business in which you need to know or see the Cugino choices before you call or stop in. If not you will be awhile before you order if you decide to make your selections at the store. Everything will look scrumptious .I choose the Italian Cheesesteak, The Best I every had. Service was excellent, friendly and informative. They really took their time in answering our questions and explaining the different choices. It is worth to stop by even if it is just to educate yourself on the immense selections Cugino Italian Market offers.

We visit Franco's once a week, probably more for pizza and/or take-out dinners. It's the closest "Italian" food we have been able to find to our New Haven roots. Even our relatives from back home comment on the quality when they visit.The place is little more than a hole in the wall for locals. I highly recommend the Onion & Mozzarella pizza or the White Spinach (no ricotta). I really enjoy the Antipasto Salad and the meatballs are super garlicy (a real treat)!

A good friend and I decided to try this restaurant, which has changed hands numerous times in the recent past. We were curious about this garden- to-table restaurant. Though my friend was waiting at a table outside, I thought it was too hot and asked if we could move inside. The waiter (turns out he's the owner's father) was very gracious and took us inside. My friend got the Fried Green Tomatoes, and I got the Eggplant parm without the bread, so I had salad greens. I asked for extra mozzarella cheese. Her dish came with some jumbo lump crab. My dish was comprised of two slices of eggplant. Really? for $15? While everything was delicious, I was stunned at the skimpy serving. I can get an ample serving of eggplant parm with a side of salad and pasta down just a few blocks from them. Yes, I understand that this is home grown eggplant, but still. You are cutting up an eggplant - be more generous. Otherwise, you are doomed to the fate of your predecessors that just didn't make it.

We were thoroughly pleased with our food as well as the service. We also enjoyed the ambience -- that is, the clientele and decor. However...the noise volume was near deafening. The main dining room could benefit from a few sound baffles. The room is all stone and plaster, so there is no where for the sound to go. It just reverberates.
