The Patio - Pizza & Provisions

"As many other reviewers have noted, there used to be a highly rated restaurant at this address. That restaurant closed, and the new restaurant somehow managed to keep the Google reviews from the old, unrelated restaurant. Those great-looking Nashville Hot Chicken sliders they show off in the photos? Those don't exist anymore. Instead, you can pay $5 for a single slice of pepperoni pizza with cardboard crust, store brand pepperoni, and gooey tasteless cheese. I only took two bites and threw the rest away. I'm in shock at how bad it was. The kid working was nice, but that was the only good thing. The interior was 90 degrees and dead empty."

"This place used to be your best downtown option for what they called authentic NJ style pizza. It recently changed ownership to a family who I’m not sure if they had ever tasted pizza before buying the place. It’s absolute garbage. Undercooked, soggy crust, flavorless cheese. When I complained I got a blank stare and a shrug from the kid behind the counter who inexplicably disappeared for 20 minutes during which another customer came in and waited to order their garbage. There are already a number of reviews recently confirming they have seriously tanked this place. The food service business is way too hard to just buy a place and not know how to make food. It’s a shame because we lost another good downtown establishment."

"I mean its alright. Pizza is pizza except they forgot the dough and subbed in cardboard. The sauce was great but I can also just buy Walmart brand pizza sauce to replicate 1 ingredient flavor. Cheese was... cheese can't really go wrong with cheese fantastic. Toppings were decent and the majority of the flavor. Onions tasted like onions so I guess that's a plus and pepperoni also tasted like pepperoni. I would probably go here more often if the price for cardboard with sauce wasn't $30. At least the people there were friendly and I could sit inside if I didn't want to inhale fumes from the street and see drunk college kids throwing up on trees"

"New owners, now it’s terrible. On a home game weekend, they served only slices and had just pepperoni or cheese to choose from. Lukewarm and tasteless. No liquor or beer on tap. When a line formed inside (on a game day), the owner kicked everyone out and said they had to order at the window. I hope a good business takes the spot when this place inevitably closes. Good riddance"

"Edit: 2nd visit... Pizza was just as great as the first time the cheese blend is very good and the pizza has a nice crunchy crust. I love how they do extra cheese so you see it on the pie. Although I might ask about having that under the normal cheese blend it get the classic look. Very fairly priced for the quality that is provided. I will definitely be a life long customer here."
