Emilia Romagna Pizza

Found this restaurant years ago after moving into the area. Having grown up on Manhattan's Lower East Side and then living in Hoboken for a number of years, I'm a bit of a "Pizza snob." When you've become used to the likes of Rays and Mario's, it pretty difficult to find local establishments that compare.

Interestingly, our family first tried Emilia's not for the pizza but rather because someone mentioned to us that they had really good veal. (A lot of the pizza joints around here serve up breaded veal like substances when you order veal.)

The first time I entered the place I was a bit skeptical but quickly found out, to my surprise, that not only was the veal quite good (and actually veal), but so was the sauce and everything else we ordered. Been going back for over a decade now and consider Ronnie and Chris, the owners, friends. and that is how you are treated when you walk into the place.

As for the pizza, it's the best in the area, hands down.

Would highly recommend to anyone in the South Bergen County area looking for a good meal at a reasonable price.

It's taken a bit of a downward turn. Recent renovation was to facade of building, not inside where it is desperately needed. Food is consistent, but it's pizzaria fare not great food. But my consern is cleanliness. Salad with flies made me go away for good. Used to be great, not so anymore.
