I’m sorry I really wanted to love the place. I was in NYC for a few days and went out of my way to come here before driving home to Toronto. I ordered a 1964, The sauce is super cooked down and sweet it reminds me of domino’s. The crust is not airy at all, it’s very thin but super heavy/dense at the same time with weird cornmeal underneath. The oven here is fascinating and capable of a lot more but they’re using it to cook one dimensional boring pizza. There’s many better options within NYC itself, not to mention other place in NJ putting out much better pies Don’t get me wrong, this is decent local neighborhood pizza. There is nothing wrong with dominos flavour profile when you want cheap p...
I've been eating pizza religiously, one could even say obsessively for longer than I can remember. Jersey has absolutely amazing pizza with every pizzeria doing something slightly bit different than the next. The 1950 and 1960 style pizza was phenomenal. The grandma was insanely good. The only thing one bite pizza reviews got wrong was they didn't give a high enough rating. This pizzaria is one of the best in Jersey. Period. Thank you for your craft and hospitality!!!!

I was extremely disappointed with eating here. I've heard so many good things from family and friends alike. I'm from Elizabeth and there are just better options in my opinion. Not being able to dine in or order by the slice is disappointing. The crust of the pizza came out burnt where it was just inedible. The flavor wasn't that bad. It also wasn't something to rave about. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day. For me there are plenty of better options around the city for much better pricing Service: Takeaway Price per person: $20–30 Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 2

Went to Santillos a month or two before it burnt down. Sad to see and hope the shop gets back up and running soon. The pizza was absolutely amazing. Sauce, cheese and pepps were spectacular. The crust was nice and crispy. Definitely one of the best pizzas in New Jersey. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Met Al about 2 weeks ago and he let me see his brick oven. Very friendly guy and the 2020 style pepperoni with sausage was amazing (I liked that even more than the classic). One of the best pizza ever. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Update too those that saw that are closed. Fire has destroyed the business. Let's hope they reopen soon and when they can. The fire occurred just a few days ago.
We got take out a few months before the fire when visiting friends. It was delicious and the people were very nice. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
