    Have visited numerous several times for their delicious pizza.  I decided to venture on their menu and ordered Suppa de Pesce.  Wow the sauce was amazing.  The angel hair cooked to perfection and seafood was fantastic.  Will definitely order another main course on my next visit.

    This was a review for takeout only so I can't comment on the rest of the menu.  We ordered some pizzas for Friday Night Movie Night a variety of toppings on several different 14 Inch (SMALL) Pies.   In short for NJ Pizza I found it to be average at best.  

    The Crust was average with absolutely no crispness to it.   The toppings and quality of the cheese, and toppings was very good, while the sauce was simply OK.  

    I was told that this was top shelf for North NJ, while it was OK this certainly was nothing special.

    Note Hot Wings were excellent.

    Since my local pizza place shut down, my family and I have been trying to find a new pizza place. Bell Paese will
    Not be it. We ordered a pie with extra cheese, and it was painfully obvious that this pizza had been sitting out awhile. They threw some extra cheese on it and put it back in the oven. The cheese to tomato sauce ratio was not equal, and the sauce barely tasted like anything. Not again.

    The garlic bread on the other hand was pretty good- crispy with a good garlic concentration. It could have used a little bit more cheese- but otherwise it is okay.

    This is pretty good pizza in a pinch. My friends family orders from here all the time, it's not my favorite but I have some once in a while.

    The sauce is incredibly sweet and just doesn't do it for me. I feel like some more basil and saltiness would do the sauce good. Their regular pizza is incredibly thin and that makes for a nice crispy crust. Their Sicilian is wayyy too doughy for me. I really just feel like I'm eating a thick piece of bread.

    Parking is pretty easy on the street and if not there are some spots in the back. They have a sign up warning you but I don't think anything can warn you for the way they speak. They are so incredibly loud and Italian haha, it's not a bad thing just prepare yourself!

    The only other issue is their timing. We always call to place our order and they say "20-25 minutes". They really only start making your order once you're there. I mean it makes for incredibly fresh pizza but it does waste your time too.

    The restaurant inside is pretty small. There's a few tables if you wanna sit and eat. They have a one or two pies on display if you'd like to just grab a slice. I would try their sandwiches next time because their pizza is definitely on the sweet side.

    Placed an order on a Monday at 6pm. Ordered Pena vodka pie mozzarella sticks and rice balls. Order finally got delivered at 730 mozzarella sticks was Nike warm and soggy and the rice balls was barley warm and hard oh and my pizza came with rigatoni instead of penne and even the pizza was just warm. Mind you I live 5 minutes away. Threw the sticks out and had to throw pizza and rice balls in the oven. Won't order from there again.
