Renato's Pizza — Restaurant in Ridgewood

I can echo reviewers regarding the sometimes bad service, and anger when using a credit card. Both are realities at this Pizzeria.

But they have some of the best Italian food in Bergen county, in my opinion. The eggplant parm is the thinnest, most delicious I’ve had. Their Cesar salads italian finger kiss, even their simple house salad is outstanding. The pizza is good. The Parmigana-anything’s are delicious, and their sandwiches are also so great. They make every appetizer so good, from calamari, to wings, to mozzarella sticks. And their marinara sauce...it’s outstanding.

Listen...who cares if they’re a little quirky? You want good food, right? That’s what...

Service needs major improving here at Renato’s Pizza. I ordered 3 slices from the glass showcase which had toppings and the man in the front fills up the boxes with the 3 slices I ordered plus 3 plain slices that I didn’t order and tells me I owe $21. I told him that I only ordered the 3 slices with toppings and that I didn’t even know he had plain slices since they weren’t displayed. I guess they keep plain slices tucked away in the back. He grunts very loudly and says “YOU SAID 3 PLAIN, COME ON AMIGO! NO YOU SAID 3 plain!”…. at this point I was completely baffled at the bad customer service. Definitely not a way to speak to...

The atmosphere was decent and the staff were polite. However, NOT ONE of the kitchen staff was wearing gloves. When I ordered 4 slices of pepperoni pizza, they took a day-old cheese pie (with their bare hands), put uncooked pepperoni on it (with their bare hands), put it in the oven, and when it was done they put it in the box WITH THEIR BARE HANDS. The pizza itself was way too greasy, didn’t even taste that good, upset my stomach within 10 minutes of eating, and even an hour after finishing I can still taste it in the worst way. Worst $25...
