Luigi's Pizza & Restaurant — Restaurant in Ringwood

Up next for us... Luigi's Pizza & Restaurant in Ringwood, NJ. We are continuing our quest to find the best Margherita and Grandpa or Grandma pizzas in NJ! First, we were very excited to see the variety in Luigi's menu. Yes, it was tough call - grandpa or the grandma pie? Since we tend to favor the grandpa style... we stuck with that. We ordered the Margherita pie as well.

Up first the Margherita. The fresh mozz was melted perfectly; spaced out to show off the sauce and basil (cooked on). The crust was soft , not thick but not too thin (some love their margherita pies ultra thin). No complaints on this pie at all. It was very fresh, the sauce had a great taste; not acidic, and the hint of basil with every bite was perfect. The dough/crust was very soft, cooked perfectly. Overall, an excellent margherita pie, Luigi's! Well done.

The Grandpa. Again, we get very excited when we see this on a menu. Not all are Sicilian style pie lovers so it is greatly appreciated when we see this by name. Here we go... the pie was not your typical thick Sicilian but there was enough crust there to place it in that category. The mozz was baked right on the crust, the fresh sauce then placed over the cheese; followed by fresh garlic, basil (this was new to us!) and parmesan cheese. We have to say... the first bite is an absolute pleasure. The sauce and garlic with the taste of basil and even the parmesan cheese hits your mouth where you want to immediately take another bite! Our only negative, and its a small one... the crust. It did lack that fresh taste; it was definitely missing something (not soft but not crispy... sort of a middle of the road crust). Again, not a huge negative because the rest of this pie makes up for it. This was the first time we had basil on our Grandpa pie and it definitely was a nice addition to the traditional Grandpa pies wee had in the past. Grandpa Sicilian - loved it, Luigi's! We definitely want to try your Grandma style in the near future.

Until next time... we are making our way through Ringwood, Wanaque, and Haskell to find that perfect...

Every time I’m back in Wanaque visiting family, Luigi’s is a must-stop - and this visit marked my fourth time here in the last three years. It’s one of my favorite places to eat whenever I’m in town.

From the moment you walk in, there’s a sense of warmth and community. The wall of children’s drawings, the friendly counter staff, and the nostalgic charm of the space make it feel like home. And the food? Absolutely outstanding. The pepperoni and black olive pizza I had today was perfect - crispy crust, generous toppings, and just the right amount of cheese and sauce.

Luigi’s is a local gem that captures everything you want in a classic neighborhood pizzeria: quality ingredients, consistency, and heart. It’s no surprise they’ve been serving the community since 1968 - they’ve clearly got something special.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and grab a slice (or a whole pie). You’ll see why it’s always on my list when...
