Culto Italiano Pizzeria — Restaurant in Bergenfield

A FOODIE’S FIND OF OUTSTANDING AUTHENTIC NEOPOLITAN PIZZERIA in Bergenfield 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩.

It’s run/owned by young entrepreneurs, one of whom exudes the energy and diction of Napoli that he says he comes from. Benvenuti in America👏👏👏.

🇮🇹 Notably, the pizza menu showcases Fiordilatte di Napoli (translated: “flower of milk of Naples”), the unique variety of mozzarella that is very light and very soft with so subtle sweet taste. … it’s the best cheese for pizza🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩.

Oh yes… they use Marzano tomato sauce: slightly sweet and slightly tangy that marries well with the Fiordilatte👏👏👏.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A DELIGHTFUL PIZZA DINNER that transport back to origin of this food:

⭐️ ⭐️⭐️NAPOLETANA: a true pizza di Napoli, simple yet delightful flavors of what pizza is, lifted up so heavenly with the surprise kick of anchovy…. WOW 🤩🙃

⭐️⭐️⭐️ CAPRICIOSA: a most delightful Parmacotta ham and artichokes pizza. It’s textural yet delicate… another WOW🤩.

And yes, Pizza dinner would be incomplete without fresh Italian salad like

😊 Insalata Romana: simple romaine with shaved Parmigiano cheese

😊Insalata Tricolore: 3-shades of garden greens, cherry tomatoes and Italian olives married together with a lovely balsamic vinaigrette.

Service is outstanding.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. In addition to pizza, the menu has panuzzo (Italian sandwiches), calzone, some antipasto and some pasta…TAKEAWAY...

I LOVE THIS PLACE AND THEIR FOOD! Everything is fresh, delicious, all the flavors go well together. I have had several pizzas, fresh homemade pastas, pillowy gnocchi, fresh salads, perfectly cooked chicken dishes, crispy calamari, tender meatballs, sandwiches, homemade lasagna with a bechamel sauce (so rare), dessert and everything is so delicious! Even the fresh squeezed OJ was sweet and fresh! The ingredients are imported and of top quality. How do I know? Bc Unlike other Italian restaurants or pizzerias you don’t feel that bloated full feeling after eating their food and as you can see, I do eat a lot! Also, dairy and cheese usually upsets my stomach, but from here; NOT AT ALL! That’s how I know it’s quality imported ingredients. I have introduced Culto to my family, out of town friends, New Yorkers and all of them loved it! One friend even said it was better than a very well known Neapolitan pizza place in NYC. I honestly don’t think it gets better than this, maybe being in Italy itself is the only thing that could top Culto Italiano. Angelo and the team are all so friendly, kind and humble. I’ve eaten at the tables outside, had food delivered, take out. All of it is good! If you haven’t eaten Culto Italiano, you’ve got to. Once you do, you’ll be hooked...

Please try this resturant as soon as possible. My family is from Naples and Sicily and this is by far the most authentic Neapolitan Pizza I have had since I returned from Italy. My mom and I went and tried the Margherita and Pesto Pizza, and they were both absolutely amazing and reminded me about my culture. They use high quality ingredients and traditional methods for their dishes. I took cooking classes at a very well known Pizza school in Naples when I visited last year, and the methods were so similar, as was the taste. As a foodie, you will love Culto Italiano. Eating here reminded me that I need to submit my final paperwork for my Dual Citizenship lol.

Angelo, the worker who was in today was so nice and you could tell that sharing his culture with his customers through food was high on his priority list.

I will be back, I have many friends...
