The Most Scrumptious Pizza in Newark

Luigi's Pizza & Pasta

★★★★☆ 4.3 (847) • $$

"I was in the area and came across this restaurant while searching for "pasta"I'm so glad this place was recommended because the spaghetti and meatballs was delicious! Service was friendly and super quick. The place, the food, the ambiance, it all felt authentic Italian.I will for sure be back and try other menu items and the pizza as well."

Lo Coco's

★★★★☆ 4.2 (822) • $$

"What a quaint little spot for amazing Sicilian food. If I could describe the ambiance, I would say it is cozy and small, consisting both indoor and outdoor seating.The flavors are spectacular. My friend introduced me to this location yesterday, but I feel like I will definitely be back again, even though I live a bit far from this restaurant. Apparently they have another location in Marin County and also Berkeley! The service was wonderful. The host was on top of it, making sure we received our orders correctly, are enjoying our meal, and constantly ensuring that our drinks are refilled. FYI They also sell wine and other goods, located on their back wall."

Mission Pizza & Pub

★★★★☆ 3.9 (938) • $$

"Small 40 Special Chicken pizza. Last nights dinner. Fremont Mission Pizza and Pubs 40 Chicken Special. Ranch sauce, grilled chicken, spinach, bacon and chopped red onion and CHEDDAR. Super crunch to the crust. Unbelievably good. Had to wait an over hour though. Told by other neighbors its best to call ahead to order on weekends. Definitely worth the wait. I removed one star for having to wait 85 minutes for our pizza, which is three times the normal wait. If I didnt love this place so much, that would definitely be a deal breaker for me. What can be done to improve the wait times???"

iTalico

★★★★☆ 4.2 (785) • $$$

"I had dinner here with a couple of friends and it was my first time. We ordered the San Daniele pizza, paccheri, and the spaghetti di mare. The pasta dishes we ordered were perfectly al dente. The paccheri was a bit salty. The San Daniele pizza was cooked perfectly and was well balanced.The service here was friendly and attentive. The interior has a sophisticated feel with the slightly dim lighting."

Fournée Bakery

★★★★★ 4.6 (651) • $

"The best French style bakery I have ever been to.The olive bread knot was amazing. It's all good."

Pizza Bocca Lupo

★★★★☆ 4.1 (815) • $$

"I am updating this review to a 3 due to the SLR (Service Level Recovery) of the owner. He reached out to me, we discussed the issues, and then he provided me a refund.I still will never eat here again, but the spouse did enjoy his pepperoni pizza."

Vito's Trattoria

★★★★☆ 4.1 (807) • $$$

"A welcoming place amidst office complex, sjc airport, 101 and Kaizer! Love the free parking around it and welcoming outdoor and indoor seating.As you enter, you are greeted by friendly faces! You can make a reservation at "open table" if you plan to be there between peak hours.In $55 (before tip), we got:- your choice of 2 topping pizza - 4/5 - we got jalapeño, mushroom, olives. Bell peppers. They charged $1 for each extra topping. The pizza was loaded with veggies on a thin but tender crust.- veggie primavera pasta - 5/5 - we swapped the sauce from creamy white to vodka sauce for an extra charge and it was totally worth it. Bomb pasta and heavy/ huge portion size. Good to share!- garlic bread with cheese - 4/5 - huge portion and good quality cheese. I wish they added some herbs/ etc too on it to add a kick- complimentary sour dough rolls 5/5 are served on request. Loved it! - garden green salad - 4/5 - side plate of salad with greens, carrots, a big tomato slice and vinegar drenched onions. Pairs well with the sour dough rolls.Service is impeccable :) and it's a pleasure visiting them! #supportlocal"

Palermo Italian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (765) • $$

"LOVEI went here for a memorial celebration of a lovely man. This was his favorite restaurant and I can see why. The food was excellent, as was the service. The buffet luncheon was wonderful. I liked the chicken, loved the potatoes and perfectly cooked vegetables, and of course the pasta, a lovely tortellini in cream sauce. The dessert buffet was epic. I especially loved the intensely chocolate cake.LIKEI really appreciated the covered open patio seating. As someone still trying to avoid Covid and all the other viruses floating around, the airflow helped me feel safer in a crowd of a few hundred people. I will return when I'm in the neighborhood."

Centonove

★★★★☆ 3.9 (855) • $$

"Centonove is one of my favorite restaurants in Los Gatos. It's our go-to spot for my friends and me. Our favorite drink is the Pear Martini--it's so delicious and dangerously easy to have too many!The first time I went, we ordered pizza, which was a great choice, especially since they offer gluten-free and vegan options. However, since then, I've become partial to their Fiocchi di Pera--pasta pockets with pear and cheese in a Gorgonzola cream sauce. Absolutely divine!The staff is knowledgeable and super fun, adding to the great atmosphere. I highly recommend making a reservation, especially on weekends, as seating--both indoors and outdoors--is limited. But even if you have to wait, it's definitely worth it!"

The Garret of Campbell

★★★★☆ 3.7 (937) • $$

"I'm torn.Everything is very "four-star" about this place. The Garret reminds me of old-school Pizza Hut, this one being cavernous, dark, divey, and woody, with a bar area. All the workers were pleasant and attentive, which is why I am not giving it three stars. The food was not bad. We started with garlic fries, getting a decent amount of hot fries covered in a creamy diced garlic for $5. The build-your-own pizza wasn't cheap, but the medium seemed big. The pizza seemed flavorless, though we think the garlic fries had something to do with that. With a little parmesan and red pepper flake, I enjoyed it. I loved the crispy but doughy crust. The leftover pizza was better than any other leftover pizza. No self-service sodas, but refills are free.The problem is that we went at 5:30 on a Saturday, and it was full of kids. That makes it great for families, but not for people who aren't used to eating while kids scream talk at the top of their lungs. These unnecessarily loud kids all seemed to have Raiders fans for Dads so I couldn't really go up there and ask them to leash their kids or give them peanut butter to keep them from barking a while.If you think I'm being an old man, other reviewers agreed: "noisy kids" (Michael R); "a little too noisy to have a quiet conversation" (Rakesh B); "good for holding large gatherings but can be noisy." (Ed H); "ridiculously loud everywhere that the noise becomes UNTOLERABLE" (Yvette R); "arcade makes people feel they can let kids run free." (Anonymous); "Expect it to be loud with kids running around." (Lorraine C); "a lot of kids during the dinner rush." (Barney T); "People think it's Chuck E Cheese and let their kids literally run wild through this place...kids squealing and running through the table." (Jon C). "A ton of kids." (Killer Kitty). "The only downside of this place are the unattended whiny little snot-nosed kids that run around high on caffeine." (Patrick J)I loved the atmosphere, service, and food, but I would only return super late at night or while kids are in school or once I lose my hearing."

Honor Kitchen & Cocktails

★★★★☆ 3.8 (846) • $$

"My first time back at Honor Kitchen since they reopened after the pandemic. I came in expecting a solid meal, but they took my expectations, deep-fried them, and drizzled them with deliciousness.I ordered the chicken and waffles. In turn, they ordered my taste buds to the culinary dance floor. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and nomtastic.My friend had the huevos rancheros, and from the way she was aggressively defending her plate, I assume they were also fire. Speaking of my friend, it was her birthday. Honor Kitchen came through with a next-level bread pudding with plantain and even included a birthday card signed by the staff. That definitely earned me some free brownie--I mean bread pudding--points. :-)Service was solid. The restaurant is beautiful. Apparently, the speakeasy bar in the back is open till midnight? It's a great late-night date idea.If you're in Emeryville and NOT eating here, my condolences!"

Pizza California

★★★★☆ 4.1 (710) • $$

"I've always passed by here to Hmart but never visited. One parent had organized a team basketball dinner here and I was surprised. Clean, decent seating, draft beer and wine. Cashiers were very pleasant and really accomodated our large group that consisted of 40 people. Ordered a half steakhouse/ chicken pesto pizza and it was delicious. Highly recommend."

Cato's Ale House

★★★★☆ 4 (740) • $$

"I really enjoy Cato's vibe. It has a neighborhood feel that welcomes anyone and everyone. They also offer an outstanding beer selection.Their food is expensive and, at best, average. During my last visit, I ate a cuban sandwich with dry bread and subpar ham. I think it cost me over $15. They also default to a 22% tip up front FOR COUNTER SERVICE. My family bussed our own dishes when we left..."

Pizza & Curry

★★★★☆ 3.9 (749) • $$

"The most authentic Indian curry topping pizza. Plenty of vegetarian choices, and custom orders available. Family owned business. Hosts/owners are caring and thoughtful people. Tandoori Potato, Paneer Tikka, Pav Bhaji, Aaloo Gobi have generous amount of toppings unlike other pizza places where they throw a few on top to check the box. Think crust makes it more like sabzi on chapati, which is light and delicious."

Willow Street Wood-Fired Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.7 (790) • $$

"Very cozy, inviting and pleasant atmosphere. The food is really good and the pizza from an oven wooden is super tasty. The good thing is the happy hour has great deals! The service was excellent and super fast - no long waiting to be seated and served."

Marzano

★★★★☆ 3.8 (733) • $$

"Loved this place! Beautiful interior, excellent service, delicious food, quality wine, and fair prices. We ordered the meatball appetizer, polenta, chicken and potato pizza and were thoroughly impressed with the quality of the food and freshness of the dough. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!"

Stuft Pizza

★★★★☆ 4 (633) • $$

"Perfect amount of food for a group of 4 people! We got a medium size pizza, the hot wings and potato wedges. Pizza is thick but crispy at the bottom, not too soggy. Wings are juicy and the hot sauce on the side is a good combination. I like it that they put sauce on the sides since I like to dip my wings. My favorite is the potato wedges because it's the perfect consistency/ texture that's crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. Highly recommend! Location offers countless IPAs and a perfect place to watch sports games or just hang out with friends. This place will be my favorite pizza spot! I recommend dining in over take out, so food won't be soggy. Easy transaction as well since you can just pay bills on your phone."

Gumba's Italian Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (912) • $$

"We ordered the Linguine Pesto Chicken, Fettuccine al San Francisco, Sausage Polenta, and cannoli. Everything was delicious! The service was amazing and the servings were generous, not like other restaurants. We will definitely be back."

Willow Street Wood Fired Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.6 (749) • $$

"What a great pizza place for your family or even for date night. It has pizza, pasta, and more. I love the thin crust on their pizza, and I recommend the margarita pizza and any of their salads. Also, they have great desserts, and mud pie from Marianne's ice cream is in Santa Cruz! Which is my favorite. The restaurant itself is clean. They have great staff. It's pretty quick and we didn't wait very long. I definitely recommend this place for a birthday. Quick dinner, maybe lunch, or a night out for drinks."

Tomato Thyme

★★★★☆ 3.7 (707) • $$

"Went in Sunday 5:30 and they were able to accommodate our party of 12. Ordered the Fettuccine Chicken Tequila, as was recommended by our server and asked for it to be made less spicy. It came out perfect! It was quite tasty with just a slight kick to it. Everyone at our table seemed to like what they ordered. Even tasted the pear salad and two desserts - tiramisu and an apple bread pudding served with a scoop of ice cream. All were very good as well. Service was excellent. As we left, it was pretty much a full house. Would definitely recommend this restaurant."

Falafel Fremont

★★★★☆ 3.9 (635) • $$

"Another update as it's been a couple years since. Falafel Corner has changed its name to Falafel Fremont. Same people, same place just different name. No more check in for a free baklava but that's ok, it was just a nice little perk.The parking here is always hit or miss as depending on the peak eating times can be challenging with Kakuna Sushi nearby and now Dope Pho. Recently we actually had to park in the middle section instead of right in front, but that's okay. There are still spaces. They can get a bit busy at which times, they may not even pick up the phone which can be frustrating. We did come after not being able to reach them over the phone and saw that there were large groups waiting for their food and so we ended up going somewhere else.Inside is pretty spacious with tables.We have yet to try their pizzas and we've been meaning to. Their gyro meat is just too salty and oily for me for some reason so I avoid it as well as falafels. What we do come here for is the burgers. It's always a place we come back for the burgers. The fries can be hit or miss, sometimes we switch it up for the curly ones.Just drop by, try them out and perhaps I'll eventually try their pizzas."

Jake's of Willow Glen

★★★★☆ 3.8 (655) • $$

"Tonight was my last Bible Study class before summer break. We decided to order pizzas and I was in charge of purchasing & pickup. I called Jake's to check if they offered a discount on large orders. I figured maybe 10%. Juan answered my call and after I shared the reason for my order he immediately offered to cover one of the large specialty pizzas!!! WOW I didn't expect that. The restaurant offer's a variety of food, not just pizza and the ambiance is perfect to watch a game, order wings and drinks When I arrived at Bible study with 5 large pizza boxes everyone was stoked when they saw Jake's Pizza!!! Their pizza is SO GOOD!Shout out to Juan! Thank you for your generosity and kindness!!!!"

Lo Coco's

★★★★☆ 4.2 (517) • $$

"Everything was outstanding. Greeting at the door,wait staff and recommendations, food, vibe, etc. I had the special (linguine with clams, mussels and calamari) and my wife and friend had a pizza and salad and I shared a salad with my buddy who had egg plant Parma. Everyone raved about their dishes. Lo Coco has been at the Berkeley location 41 years!!! Only thing you should be aware of is they don't take reservations unless your party is 6 or more. We arrived at 5:30 on a Sunday and the place was full and stayed full."

Rosie's New York Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.6 (693) • $$

"Do you need a quick fix for a slice or perhaps scratch that pasta itch? Rosie's will make it happen for you. The pasta portions are super generous (easily 2 meals for me). The pizza is definitely NY style, thin crisp crust that are large enough to fold and consume with much gusto. The dine-in vide is not NY neighborhood pizza joint though, more of a sports bar vibe.The garlic knots are delish but best eat fresh."

Susie Q’s Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.4 (453) • $$

"So far we have DoorDash their pizza to Union City at least 10 times in the last few weeks every single time fire!! so glad they have halal beef options and turkey"

Bronco Billys Pizza Palace

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (735) • $$

"UPDATE: it's not very often the owner of a business takes the time out for a 30 minute conversation, but she did! Marlene, thank you for listening and taking the time to connect with me. I will take my kids back to get their pizza replaced, plus a 2nd one! Marlene you have what it takes to run a well loved franchise, hang in there the food service industry like many others is recovering from "after covid desocialization effects". Keep working with your employees, hopefully the hiring pool improves!You still have a loyal customer raising your next generation of Bronco Billy's customer s! I will update the pictures when we pick up the replacement s. THANK YOU Marlene!"

Got2go Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.4 (366) • $$

"Got2go Pizza is my family's favorite spot for pizza hands down!!We almost always order through the phone for pickup and it would be ready in just 15 minutes. The owner is super sweet and friendly as well!Our go-to is the supreme pizza. The crust has the perfect fluffiness and isn't dense at all. The cheese is high quality and just so soft and melt-y. You can tell that they use high quality ingredients for their toppings! We also enjoy the pesto pizza (I forgot the name).Overall, definitely check out Got2go Pizza when you have the chance!"

1400 Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (578) • $$

"Our neighborhood bar and grill...and we love them! Their back patio is the best part. They're so kid friendly - both inside and outdoor seating. But outside has fire pits, friendly crowds and plenty of space for the kiddos to run around (attended of course.)The menu is huge with pizzas always a hit, as well as their seafood. At least one of us orders their fish and chips every time we go and they even had a prime rib special the last time we were there. Spam fries are also another fun order.Drinks are standard but good. They used to have a spiked hot cider that I loved and the beer selection is big. Also, if you're there right at 5PM, make sure to take advantage of their whiskey special. IYKYK."

Seniore's Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.9 (463) • $$

"Came here for a few slices of pizza and met the owners. She was so sweet! Shout out to Tina! Thank you for the amazing service and chatting with us.The food was great! Decent price and great flavor."

Premier Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.8 (487) • $$

"The wife and I love this place. Most recently, we ordered "The Duke" pizza (Pepperoni, salami, ham and Italian sausage) along with a side of pesto cheese bread.Everything was amazing. Fresh toppings, great portions of meat with light fluffy crust. The pesto on the cheese bread was top-notch.Try the 'smokey ranch' it's the perfect pairing with your pizza.The building itself is super clean and the staff is friendly. They usually have the games playing if you want to eat in."

The Creek Eatery

★★★★☆ 3.8 (475) • $$

"The beer selection here is always good. I haven't had much to try on the menu to review the food.Service has always been great and the staff are pretty friendly. The bar area is nice and they have an outdoor patio as well.Will be back to try what's on the menu someday."

Straw Hat Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.9 (444) • $$

"I reviewed this place about 2 years ago and loved it. Just thought I would re-up my recommendation as I had lunch here today - gluten free crust, light amount of cheese, veggies - perfectly baked! Had that with a salad - perfect lunch at a great price!!"

Curry Pizza House San Jose Evergreen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (388) • $$

"Wow! Stopped here on a road trip with my family and loved it. The staff was super accommodating and even gave us a free pizza when they slightly messed up our complicated order. The food was amazing and the beer selection was a bonus surprise as well. Thank you especially to our server, Henry! That guy deserves a special award for going the extra mile."

Fibbar MaGees

★★★★☆ 3.5 (530) • $$

"We always enjoy going to Fibbars, and even moreso today on their 30th birthday party. The menu was limited--wisely based on the crowd size--but there were still plenty of food options, including the Irish standards. We shared the shepherd's pie and, because we were concerned that the pie wouldn't be big enough for two, we ordered the corned beef fries starter. We needn't have worried. The pie was plenty big, but the fries were so good we ate those as well. Our friend had the fish and chips and pronounced it as good as always. The beer selection at Fibbars is always good with several options of many varieties including ipas, dale's, loggers, pilsner's, stouts, and sours and fruited beer. Not to mention ciders. Most of the beers stay the same, but they introduce new ones frequently enough to make it interesting. My wife had a Pliny, which she always enjoys and I had a Mango Cart wheat beer. It was delicious as always. Our friend had the nitro red stout, which was very tasty and something I might get next time we go.Last but not least, the service is always friendly and helpful."

Benchmark Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 4.1 (370) • $$

"Excellent Napoli style pizza - thin crust and cooked fast. We're never waiting long to get food here. It can be on the louder side at times, so I think it's best for a meet up spot with friends. Will continue to come back!"
