El Hornito Pan Pizza — Restaurant in Newark

DISCLAIMER: The dough is not your typical pizza dough. It's more like a Mexican sweet bread. (not saying it's a bad thing, just so you can align your expectations)

THE GOOD Pepperoni Pizza (4.25 out of 5)

• I like the pepperoni chosen. Oily but not overly oily. Hawaiian Pizza (4.25 out of 5)
• Good quality ham and pineapple toppings. Cheesy Bread (4 out of 5) The dough is sweet but it blends well with the cheese. Also good to note that the interior is nicely decorated and clean. Staff was very friendly and welcoming.

THE BAD Also, the dough.

• I got to double, triple stomp on the fact that the dough/crust is sweet. If you're not expecting, you could be blinded sided and it might not be you're thing.

So, so good! I ordered through Doordash while staying at a nearby hotel and it was amazing. I'm talking Naples, Italy, kind of amazing. My pizza was delivered steaming hot, so I imagine it's equivalent to what you'd get in the restaurant itself. Once it cooled down it was still tasty, but it was at it's height when it was hot.

The pizza has a good amount of cheese, more than most places put on their pizzas, making it gooey and delicious. No skimping on the cheese here! The crust was awesome, soft and flavorful with a terrific chew. It was like biting into a savory cloud. Honestly, it was one of the best crusts I've ever had. I had the Bonus Pizza with pepperoni and jalapeños, though it wasn't too spicy.

I cannot recommend this...

Craved for creamy pasta and the sensational shrimp pasta hits the spot. But sadly, the bag tipped during delivery and lost almost 1/2 of the cream sauce. Plenty of fully peeled shrimp in the pasta. The pizza looks really neat! Their dough tastes sweet but I think it makes the whole eating experience pleasant cos you get the sweet dough, savory cheese and the tomato sauce. The garlic cheese bread looks like burger buns from the posted pictures, they are NOT. They are the same sweet dough. Manage your expectations but if you want something different, give them a try. We were definitely...
