Taste of Italy — Restaurant in Woodbridge Township

My wife and I have lived in Woodbridge Township for over 4 years. We used to be regulars and order primarily from Taste of Italy via delivery at least twice per week. I'd say, the delivery person is the ONLY good thing about this restaurant. From the food to the owner, everything has dropped substantially. The food used to be wonderful, but it has become some of the worst pizza within a 5 mile radius. Usually, we order two pies, salad, garlic knots and some wings. You'd think the owner would be a nice person, considering if the food isn't great, maybe the service makes up for it. The owner is possibly worse than the food. He is obnoxious, disrespectful and arrogant man. On occasion I've stopped in to place an order rather than ordering delivery . Each time I have stepped in the place, it's empty to the bone. The reason I presume is because when you walk up to the counter, you are first spoken to with a rude tone from the owner, almost as if he's doing a favor to you. If you expect your pizza to be remotely satisfying, you're wrong. I'm more recent times, you'll be hit with a glob of cheese that is thrown on a bunch of dough with near water for the sauce. I really wished well for this place, but it seems like it has yet to change in a positive direction whenever we've ordered. I hope everyone takes warning to this review, and I pray that the owner reads this so he can change; both himself and the...

We honestly order from this restaurant all the time! Pizza is really good! & the delivery guy with the long hair and glasses is always super nice both on the phone and in person. It’s just so unfortunate that it really takes ONE to ruin the reputation of the establishment. A male employee that seems to be manning the phones today is very unprofessional and super rude! I usually tolerate him to be honest, because he’s really short with you, but today was really ridiculous. From the beginning of the conversation to the end he was so rude. To give someone such attitude for simply saying they want to order “two boxes of pizza” was a little extreme. Conversation could’ve went so well if he just took the time to clarify if I wanted a slice or the size of a pie. “The next time you call here say you want a PLAIN pizza” as if saying “cheese pizza” was so mind boggling. And then proceeds to argue with me on how to order a pizza because apparently saying “two boxes of pizzas” is...

Outstanding.

Hosted a small 15 person party in Taste of Italy's dining room on a Saturday afternoon. All the food was great, from salads to pies to desserts. The salads were fresh and light with perfect fresh mozzarella. We had the House Special pie which was loaded with toppings but not greasy or heavy like other restaurants. The Sicilian pie was great, but my favorite as a pizza snob was the Margherita. The crust was very thin and crispy but not burnt. The sauce was lightly seasoned with oregano and the perfect amount of mozzarella on top. The kids loved the fried Oreos for dessert while the adults enjoyed excellent cheesecake and tiramisu.

The staff was very helpful when we needed them but let us the freedom to serve ourselves or move around as we wished. Taste of Italy will be my location of choice for hosting family and work gatherings as well.

Thank you Taste of Italy for a big part of a great family and...
