The food here is fantastic! They have a bunch of custom made pizzas that you can buy by the slice or order your own. I had a slice of meatlovers pizza — meatball, sausage, ham, pepperoni and cheese. Incredible.

I went there twice because it was so dreamy the first time. The food is well seasoned, the staff is very friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxing. I would go there over and over if I lived in Jersey.

On a road trip and this was the nearest pizza place during a stop. Took a chance and had the literal best pizza in all of my life — my hand to God! The white pizza with spinach and mushroom. 10/10 freshest ingredients.

Local gem! I've worked in Carteret for almost a year and they are by far the best place I've found! Fresh, crispy and the flavor is so good! The staff is really sweet here. I'll be their new regular.

One of the best Italian food restaurants I've been to in Jersey. Great chicken parmesan, they also have a back room you can rent out for a nice party. Great espresso too.

Love the pizza from Riunitis. Sliced sausage topping is so good. Some creative options on the menu. Crispy, breaded wings are perfect... don't change a thing!
