      My teen son and I ordered a grandma pizza and wings from them. The food was delicious! The tomato pizza sauce was very flavorful. They even gave us free garlic knots in our order! Thanks!

      We look forward to trying their appetizers, salads and pastas later on. Their menu looked interesting and even included calamari salad.

      I wish they also had Italian desserts.

      This place was fantastic! A cozy, family run Italian restaurant, that serves really good food. And you can bring your own bottle to dinner!

      Very reasonable, and delicious...We were visiting friends from out of town. This place is worth driving back to NJ just to eat here. Try this place!

      Went here for lunch for a quick bite. We ordered our slices and asked if we could sit and eat in the restaurant. We wanted it to be fresh and knew we wouldn't be staying long.

      My Margherita pizza slice was a true, fresh taste. It came straight from the oven, I bit into it too fast, however I couldn't help it because it did taste delicious.

      Service was okay, the main guy at the front we didn't think was too friendly. We got our slices once he told us it was done. Maybe because we chose to stay and eat there, it was an issue? I don't know. We ordered here on doordash a couple of years ago, not what we expected on being approached, but good pizza can be a saving grace.

      Parking can be tricky. Watch out for the meters. Within walking distance. Minimun $10 to use your credit card.

      I cannot get enough of Big Red Tomato. 100% of the time, they get my to-go orders correct, present me with fresh, delicious, and food at the prime temperature.
      Once I arrive, service is quick and they always give me a complimentary bag of garlic knots.
      Walking into the restaurant, I can tell that the ambiance is very relaxing and I see a lot of happy customers enjoying their meal.
      For this to-go order, I ordered their renowned Margherita Pizza (TRY IT!!!), garlic & oil penne pasta, and a Chicken Parm platter.
      Thank you, Big Red Tomato, for always preparing fabulous food and for always making it a stress free business transaction. Now...... go and enjoy it, as well.

      Went to Big Red Tomato for my mom's birthday and we were seated right away with a party of 8. We ordered the calamari for an appetizer and the calamari was served in big pieces. It was nice and crispy. I ordered fettuccini Alfredo with chicken and it was good, but the star was the pizza! Lots of pepperoni and the crust was crispy yet soft on the inside. Service was great too. Definitely recommend!

      We've been here before and it was much better. I'll try to mention the good, the bad, and the ugly. The bread was hot and fresh. The garlic knots were delicious. I wish they brought more.
      My husband's dish was good and so was his daughter's. She had chicken Marsala. He had chicken with brown sauce.
      I'm had grilled chicken Parmesan. It was a huge portion but the chicken was dry and hard as a rock. The broccoli was way undercooked and very hard.
      What made matters worse was that they didn't give us sharp knives to use and I was unable to cut my food.
      Had to ask several times and they gave me an attitude saying they had to clean them. So while my food got cold by the time they brought the knives it was too hard to cut anyway.
      I also had to keep asking for refills for our water glasses.
      The service was not very good.
      Like I mentioned, the other two dishes were good. Only mine was not.

      My family and I came here for dinner after a friend recommended it to my uncle.

      We started with the calamari and the stuffed portobello. We also got compliments bread and garlic knots. The bread and garlic knots were tasty. The appetizers took SO long to arrive to the table. The calamari wasn't like your the typical calamari dish. We got a plate of the huge rings that weren't very. The rings were too big and the app was so underwhelming/disappointing. The stuffed portobello was ok.

      To eat we got fettuccini Alfredo, penne vodka with crispy chicken, lasagna and spaghetti with meatballs. When the entrees arrived, they didn't look like they'd be that good. But the food tastes a lot better than it looks. We all agreed that our dishes were good.

      The servers were really nice but they seemed a little overwhelmed. Overall we left feeling underwhelmed.
