The good reviews of Coliseum Pizzeria are well-deserved. I live in the DC area and I come to Hackensack frequently on business. I always look for special places to eat, from diners to high-end restaurants. This evening I felt like pizza so after checking the reviews on GoogleMaps I bought a bottle of wine at Santa Fe Wines (which I just reviewed) and went to Coliseum. The place is simple with counter service and a few tables toward the back. They provided a menu, a corkscrew, a wine glass and a table and I ordered. The salad was made with obvoius care from perfectly fresh produce. The pizza was light, tasty and also had a range of very fresh ingredients. The owner and I discussed his approach and he seemed interested in providing thin-crust or other types of pies that I requested. I have some favorites that I will ask him to prepare on my next visit.

Oh and lastly… Mondays used to be great, $7.99...
Read moreI placed my order with very specific instructions and was told no problem. They then send me a sandwich no mayo after I directed it be on the side. I call back and am told they will send. Here it is 40 minutes later and they tell me they can't send someone for just that. At this point I have informed them my sugar is low and I need to eat something. All I get is I'm sorry. Now I have to find something else to eat after spending $32. They can't get orders correct, customer service sucks, and they for sure didn't give a damn about me going into hypoglycemia. Mind you the delivery person was tipped well. Not my first encounter with disappointment with this...
