Very nice atmosphere with cloth napkins but not pretentious at all. Jeans are acceptable. Food is always beautifully prepared and tasty. Wait staff is always accommodating and friendly. More of a couples restaurant then a family restaurant. Daily special meals are very tasty.
9. Giuseppe's Pizza-Green Brook
Reviewed By numbersguy79
Location/ease of access: Great! Giuseppe's is located on the corner of N Washington Ave. @ Green Brook Road, just 1 block from the intersection of Route 22 and Washington Ave. It has parking for about 10 cars in the rear.Food: The pizza is great. The crust is crispy and thick enough that it doesn't "wimp over" as I call it... you can pick up the slice without it drooping down. The cheese/sauce ratio is good. Also the cheesesteaks and fries are great. The cheesesteak meat is slightly less in quantity than some other places, but I wouldn't call it a problem. I haven't had a full dinner meal yet.Environment: This is a 'no frills' pizza joint. It is clean and neat but quite small. Mostly a take-out / delivery place. There are about 6 small tables with chairs and a TV, but its not a 'restaurant' environment. There is not a lot of separation between the pizza ovens and the customer area, so the place can be quite warm on a hot day.Menu/Pricing: This has a full typical pizzeria/Italian menu, what you would expect from a NJ pizza joint. Pricing is fair for the area it is in. Delivery minimum & fee and credit card minimum and fee are clearly posted. They have some nice coupons/specials applicable on certain days.People: Seems like a 'family run' join. Joe "Giuseppe" is the owner and works the counter (at least during lunch when I'm there). One day his youngest kid was there running around and his mom was there to visit with her. Joe is a nice guy to talk to if they aren't too busy and you have a minute.

The restaurant is a lovely white tablecloth kind of place, with excellent top-drawer service to match. We had excellent service from everyone from the host, to the bartender, to our waiter and servers, even the owner seemed friendly and engaging. Our food was good, but not great. I tasted fried calamari, fried zucchini sticks for appetizers. I had a pesto shrimp over angel hair pasta. Both the appetizers and the entree were good, but kind of ordinary. My wife and friends said the same about their food. The dishes were also a bit pricey for what they are. Full bar.

We went to this restaurant on a weekday night and it was not busy, therefore there was no excuse for the poor service. Our waitress was more interested in chatting with people she knew than helping my husband and I. After reading us the specials and taking our order, she did not reappear to ask if we needed anything...did we want more water? Did we want more bread? In fact, we had to get up out of our seats and find another waitress who promptly brought us some water. Our salad plates sat empty in front of us for over 20 minutes. The table next to us was left uncleaned off until almost 30 minutes into our visit. .when someone finally decided to clear it off and clean it...I had never seen that in a restaurant before. I do have to say our meal was very good and plentiful. So I can't fault the food...But the poor service did indeed put a damper on our meal....I would hate to see how awful it could be if the restaurant were busy! I do have to say the young waitress whom we found was very pleasant and tried to be somewhat helpful but the older waitress could have cared less. Nice parking and pleasant décor, but I'm not sure we will be back too soon.
6. Mr Assante Pizza
Reviewed By CapriGirl2015
I have been eating Mr. Assante's pizza most of my life. They make incredible pizza. My favorite is the vodka sauce pizza. It has vodka sauce that includes sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, and onions and cheese. A slice of heaven. The pizza is thin crusted and generous with the cheese. I like the Caesar salad too. My dad always gets the Sicilian with the works. The calzones look good too. Great pizza place! Reliable and authentic!

Having not been here in about 3 years we were apprehensive about possible negative changes as BUT EVERYTHING IS GREAT. Their pasta dishes all rock and they had a new berry sangria entry - We couldn't get enough if it - warning - we ordered a pitcher of the stuff and it almost doubled our bill to be aware. Outside that minor item, the experience was exceptional and we both walked out with enough pasta for another meal.

We like this cute BYOB and usually they delivery, sometimes things aren't as good as you would like. They bread is good, they forgot our appetizer we had to wait forever, we ordered a special we were not keen returned it.Smallish portions. Not too impressed will return to give them another chance, if we have another negative experience we will not return.

A regular destination. We come here in small to large groups often. The food is always excellent and we are treated like family. The proprietor has a wonderful operatic tenor voice and will lead a chorus of "Happy Birthday" or offer his rendition of "O Solo Mio" when appropriate. I recommend Sunday Gravy or Zuppa di Pesce.

A classic pizza place!!! We were walking back to the car after a few hours at The Break Arcade next door and saw this place. My little guy loves pizza so we stopped in for a slice. I love seeing the old school pizza place and having a little chat with the woman behind the counter finding out that they have been there over 50 years. Thats amazing!!! Any pizza place that has letter boards as menus is good in my book. The modern place can keep their damn flatscreen menus. I did feel a little bad as the place was practically empty on a Saturday afternoon. We sat and ordered 2 slices and a drink, which is a special for $4.50. The pizza was really good...Nothing beats good ole Pizzaria pizza. The prices were very fair about $2 per slice and even 20oz sodas about $1.85. I would recommend this place to everyone. Support the local businesses!!!
