Clemente's Pizzeria & Cafe Italiano — Restaurant in Berkeley Heights

TL; DR - Get delivery.

Decent food, super nice staff, and reasonable prices. Sit down service was super slow on a busy Friday night, so I'd recommend call ahead take out. Tables are also right next to the door and super drafty.

I'd have probably gone with four stars if we'd have done delivery or take out. The selection was pretty impressive, and the food really wasn't bad, but between the long wait, uneven delivery of the food, and constant cold breeze from the door, it was a disappointing night out with the kids.

The focaccia was a little bland, and the pesto a bit lackluster, but the subs were huge, the chicken noodle soup was a hit, and the pizza was very good. All in all, would like to get their food again, but they don't deliver to me, and I don't know that they were that much better than my local place to be...

Great pizza. We really like the grandma's pie, but we frequently get a standard pepperoni/mushroom and it's also good (and the mushroom is fresh, not canned). The one problem is wait times. Not usually a big deal since it's mostly just them being busy, but they're honestly incapable of getting delivery right. We've been ordering for years now and every few months we take another chance at delivery and it's never taken fewer than 2 hours. The time estimates are a joke and you should expect it to be at least 45 minutes longer than quoted. The pizza is usually cold by the time it gets to you, and the tip size doesn't seem to make a difference. As long as you pick up you'll be...

Made a delivery order at 6:15 pm on a Friday and called back at 7:30 pm to see where my food was and apparently it had just been “sitting around.” When the food arrived, it was cold and the driver never apologized for leaving my order behind earlier. Plus, I prepaid and already have a good tip to the driver which I wish I could undo. Upon eating, the food WAS DEFINITELY NOT WORTH THE MONEY....and this place is cheap in comparison to some other Italian places!! If you want good Italian food, walk down to Dimaios because this companys is not worth the time and effort. Will never order from this...
