Food Quality
Pros:
"The pizza was amazingly fresh ingredients, love the specialties styles offered and awesome fresh mozzarella!"
"Pizza is amazing, the sauce is delicious and more importantly they're CONSISTENT."
"The thin crust had the awesome taste of a seasoned oven, the sauce was sweet w a hint of heat, the cheese actually had some color on it w/o being burnt but instead very tasty."
"One of the best pizzas I had since a while."
"The pepperoni, was so perfectly crispy!"
"The pizza is always fresh and delicious."
"The pizza was really delicious. I could tell the ingredients were fresh and they use local vegetables when possible."
Cons:
"Pizza tastes fine, cheese quality is on the lower side."
"Pizza quality remained the same, if not worse from the last visit."
"The worst one was the Besto Pesto. The bottom and part of the crust rim was burnt not yummy burnt but almost inedible burnt, yet the pizza itself was super soggy."
"The pizzas were very greasy on another level."
"Really disappointed with this pizza. The crust was dry and tough and the sauce had little to know taste."
"Pizza was overly cheesy and undercooked."

"The staff is very friendly and accommodating."
Cons:
"After coming home when I tried to call them they aren’t picking up the phone."

"I waited 45 minutes for 2 pizzas to be made. The pizza tasted good but I was not satisfied with the wait time."
"Only giving four stars because we had to wait an hour and a half, they apparently were very busy or short-staffed."
"I’m beyond irritated. SLOWEST pizza shop EVER."
"So we drove out hour 45 mins for my birthday to have dinner here with some friends and we ended up ordering two pizzas that were not our first options due to what WAS available."
"Ordered two vegetarian pizzas, however got the meat one."
Value
Pros:
"You honestly can’t beat the price."
"$$ is comparable to all other local spots in Newark and the pizza is better."
"Their 2 for $20 deal from 11am to 4pm cant be beat for the quality of pizza you will get."
"Really wonderful cocktail menu with very affordable prices."
"Service was really good and the food well priced."
"The prices are great."
"Best pizzas in Newark! They have lots of options and the people are very nice too. The pizzas are big and the price is good."
Cons:
"A little on the pricey side for a 12 inch pie."
"It’s basically the 12 inch pies with more crust and less toppings for more money."
"In my opinion, some of the pizzas could use more toppings considering the price."
"The pizza is good though a bit over priced for the size."
"Although it can be expensive."
"Prices are absolutely absurd. $20 for a personal 12” pie is robbery."
"They only have one size of pizza. I didn't like that because I spend double."

"The parking lot is very small, though, so be careful pulling in and out."
"Seating is tight, you bus your own plates."
Menu Variety
Pros:
"To accompany the pizza, they also have a few nice bottled/canned craft beer and handmade cocktails (Limoncello was awesome) options available."
"They have vegan cheese."
"New owners add some inventive touches to the old Wood Fired Pizza menu, keeping the brick oven goodness and supplementing the menu with solid pasta creations from Stone Balloon Ale House."
"Interesting specialty toppings, craft beers and sodas, and a sizable vegan menu."
"The menu is simple, yet contains everything that you might be craving from a pizzeria (plus a few delightfully unexpected items!)"
"Thoughtful selection of craft beers and some cool local liquors."
"Pizza for meat lovers, your standard carnivore, vegetarians, and vegans alike. Fresh toppings from local farms and organic when possible."
Cons:
"They don’t care about vegetarians' beliefs."
"We love that they offer vegan options but unfortunately they don’t always provide the requested accommodations."
"Almost everything we wanted to order was either not available due to not having ingredients such as the meatball bruschetta the butterscotch lava cake the dinner he won the show with and a few of the pizza option we were just simply also just not available to us cause they were missing ingredients."
"They do sell alcohol but their selection of drinks is pretty poor."
"Lots of options for those whole don’t eat animals."
"Unfortunately after eating from here the last 2 times My Fiancé and I BOTH got extremely sick!"
"When we were there most recently there were also multiple tables that hadn’t been cleared."
