OMG, I do not have words to explain. Let’s start with Service. It was horrible, never saw this kind of service before ever. We had to wait for 45 mins to get our pizza on table. On top, no one come to ask how the food, or it was come out right. Food was cold when it was served on table. Had to call our server four time to get water & olive oil. If I had choice to give less than 1 star, I would happily do that. Even manager only came one time on table. The place was not that busy, but they all busy talking to each other, clearly, we can see. Only 3 table our server had, but still no visit on table at all. Atmosphere was okay too; they all take their sweet time to visit on table. After I paid the bill, my wife saw in back and see they were making nasty expression and faces. Visiting a shop in area like Short-Hills mall was expecting at least staff would be better and helpful but was disappointed. Next is Manager, he came to explain that to get the Kids Eat Free promo, he had to do 3 separate checks. Understood but I had another promo $10 off of $50, and they did not use it at all, instead they were giving us excuses. Using a gift card to pay the bill, they were giving us hard time. I had to visit to counter to pay the bill. – Overall, I say they should close this location. Does not deserve to be having a shop at the location they have specially with service and nasty atmosphere created by the servers and store manager. Unhappy customers.

I was there for lunch and was glad to have healthy choices like salad. I was disappointed the cauliflower had dairy…this could have been a great vegan option with little effort it felt like a missed opportunity.

They were great. The hostess was especially nice and she got me seated quickly. Then they accommodated my request for a gluten-free pizza with no cheese on it. Not too many places will do this and it was absolutely delicious. I had the veggie pizza and my stomach thanked me. It was really really tasty. The waitress was nice too. Thanks CPK for allowing people with food intolerances to enjoy pizza too!

It’s overpriced and not worth it when there are so many local spots that have better quality food. The pizzas are small and underwhelming for $18-$22.

Ordered soups and the fish tacos. Soups were delicious, the salsa for the tacos, although it was fresh, it lacked salt….it was very bland. The waiter was very nice, and we were too hungry to complain….lol
