I was born and raised just outside NYC (north NJ), and one of the things I missed dearly when I first came down here was a good pizza...a spectacular, authentic NY pizza. Picnic Pizza is the long-lost friend that re-connects me with my childhood eats. It truly is unlike any other pizza in town. Picnic Pizza is NOT just about pizza though...finding a full complement of italian food that is simply delicious is difficult. Simply...you need to eat here. My personal favorite is the manicotti, but trust me when I tell you that there is not a bad choice on their menu. The ham calzone is also a favorite of mine, and whatever you want in it, you just tell them.\r

As great as their food is, there is so much more to enjoying a trip to Picnic Pizza. My favorite reason for patroning Picnic Pizza is supporting the spirit of kind and wonderful people who do great business. For the last 6+ years, Angelo and Sara have given me the pleasure of enjoying any and every opportunity to eat at their restaurant. In the last couple years, Sara has passed her share of the workload to their son, Nick, and he has done a great job in carrying that torch. I can't tell you how many times Linda has waited on me when I have dined there, but she has always done her job magnificently. Bring your children, bring your grandparents, bring your appetite!!\r

To Angelo, Sara, Nick...everyone who has contributed to what makes your restaurant so special, I say thanks to each of you for all that you do. It is always my pleasure to patron you...to invest in you...because you care, and you do what you do with a passion. Your food is incredible and it is my wish that with every passing day, someone new gets the pleasure of coming to that same realization.\r
