Roxanne's Brick Oven Pizza — Restaurant in Mahwah

Don't believe the hype this place is one of the worst in the Hudson valley. Wasted my money here twice now . The first time I pull up and had a borderline drug addict seeming lady valet my car but we'll get back to that later . I went in I ordered mozzarella sticks as an appetizer and a chicken parm with spaghetti (both simple Italian dishes ) mozzarella sticks had an odd taste I assumed was because perhaps they cooked them in their brick oven. I finished my sticks I'm WAITING 40 mins or so after when the waitress approaches me and offers me dessert , I kindly laughed and said I'd enjoy my éntre first she laughed embarrassingly and disappeared 20 mins after that my chicken parm arrived . It had same foul taste as mozzarella sticks I realized it was the sauce they use here . It's a mix between salsa and marinara sauce 😔. I go to get my car from the valet I tip the woman but she had to break a 20 she ran around the parking lot frantic like a dope feind for about 5 mins before she eventually found change and returned. The second time I went in simple I wanted pizza and a salad the food arrived briskly then the waitress disappeared was about an hour when I finally asked another waitress for a drink refill for myself and my family that waitress apparently delegated that order to someone else who arrived about 25 mins later with our refills .. Now we are there over an hour so far for just something simple as pizza and salad . Waitress still nowhere in sight had to wait an additional half hour to see her and demand my check. In all food is blaaaa borderline strange but the staff is probably the worst I've ever seen I will never return !! DONT...

Went here yesterday with a group of family members to celebrate my aunt's birthday. It was my 1st time here, but my family members have been here many other times before. Was Greeted promptly by a host, we also had a reservation being that we were 25 people. However, an suggestion is to call ahead to make sure one can accomdate the party. Anyways, we arrived at the table which was all set. We waited until our party came to start ordering appetizers, as well as food and drinks. As people came in, i ordered a cherry vodka with sprite. Had about 2 of them the whole time, liked it. Finally the whole party was here! So we ordered 3 fried calamari, fried eggplant/squash, and Salad as family style. The salad and the fried calamari was really good! The salad didn't have too much dressing, and was perfect. The fried Calamari wasn't chewy at all, and even the sauce was good! Next, for dinner we ordered all separate entrees. i ordered the chicken marsala with penne pasta, and it was really good! The Chicken was nice and tender, and the pasta was okay. Side note: This place was fine with us ordering family style apps, and separate entrees, so it's good for those who may not want family style meals completely! We also brought our own cake to the restaurant. Overall had a great time, and hope to be back soon! Also prices are a bit high, but it's due to covid rising prices...

I have enjoyed going to Roxanne's for many years, but I was quite shocked by our bill during our last visit. With the credit card fee, our bill was close to $250 for three adults, a teen, and two kids. With tip, we were almost at $300. I think we paid significantly less at the Lobster house in Cape May for also 6 people, and I actually had lobster in my dish down the shore. We had two pizzas, 2 mozzarella sticks, 1 garlic bread with cheese, two individual salads, an individual baked ziti, and an order of meatballs. We didn't have steak or seafood. We didn't have alcohol or dessert. They use quality ingredients like fresh mozzarella instead of shredded, Kalamata olives instead of canned black, fresh mushrooms. All are worth a premium price but they just seem exorbitant. My child's baked ziti and meatballs, although adult sized, were OVER $40. He didn't even eat the pasta because there wasn't enough sauce or cheese. He did enjoy his meatballs. Soft drink refills are not free like most restaurants. The atmosphere is absolutely lovely and the service is very attentive and excellent. My one complaint about staff is one of the young ladies at the counter was in the restroom with my daughter and I and left without washing her hands. Overall most of the food and experience was very enjoyable, but I just can't justify steak and seafood prices at a...
