Rutherford Family Pizza

We tried this place for the first time last night, and while I wanted to like it, I just didn't. We ordered online for take out. It seemed far too expensive for what you get. $74 (plus tax) for 3 14" pizzas. One was cheese, one supreme and one "Piccante." The crust was a decent texture for NY on 2 of the pizzas (and one was undercooked - see below), but really flavorless. The cheese pizza overall was pretty bland (and pretty thin on cheese, even for a NY style pizza), so I added parmesan and crushed red peppers that I had at home. The supreme that my wife had seemed to have an ok amount of toppings, but she was pretty underwhelmed at the taste overall. The Piccante is supposed to come with Sausage, Roasted Garlic, Calabrian Chili, Kalamata Olive, but they left off the Calabrian Chili. The crust on this pizza also appeared to be undercooked. So just a mediocre or less experience overall for a relatively high price. The one positive aspect to the food was the garlic knots, which we also ordered for an additional $10 (so our total was actually $84 plus tax). My wife and I did like these, while her son said he liked Filippi's knots better. But I bumped the food rating to two stars instead of one because of the garlic knots.

The two staff members I briefly interacted with seemed polite, but I barely had any interaction with staff. The place seems pretty echo-y, and boy was it loud and a bit chaotic feeling inside, and people just sort of seemed to be everywhere. I'm really glad we didn't eat there, as people would have been hovering over us while we ate. And like I said, it was very loud. We love to support family businesses, but I don't know we'll be back here.
