This was a nice surprise for a Bar Pizza. The crust was crispy, the cheese was super fresh and the sauce was excellent. Loved how its and individual pizza with mini slices. The perfect portion per bite. This was a surprise find and will definitely be back here for sure. Great Customer Service with excellent food. Great Job.
Came here in the North Jersey Pizza Tour from Kingston NY and the pizza and wings were great. Amazing service, the pizza crust so thin!
My wife wanted me to try your restaurant since she had just dined there a few days earlier with a friend, and highly recommended it. The food was excellent, and the server Linda was very pleasant to speak to which made the entire experience well worth the visit. Thank you!!!
Had my daughter’s College Graduation party in June of this year it was amazing out on the beautiful patio . We had over 70 people under the tent and it rained and not one person got wet . The outdoor bar was fantastic for our guests with two big TVs . The food kept coming out without ever having to ask for refills . Would highly recommend for any party big or small .
Been a while since I been back. Used to go here often with my in-laws when they lived in Waldwick. Place hasn't changed. Still great food, ambience and service at reasonable prices . The Nellies Pizza (everything) is still as good as always. Wife n daughter both had GF options and we all shared a GF lava cake dessert. Everything they had was awesome as well. And BTW very good coffee too. Like really really Good.
This is one of the best bar pies I ate. I would give it a 9.2 ⭐️ the sauce is full of flavor, the crust is perfectly charred, and it is just delicious. Perfectly bar pie next time I will order my way with some toppings.
Terrific local mom and pop joint. Pub pie style pizzas are great. Good friendly service. A bit loud but perfect place to bring kids, they have a dining room separate from the bar. Special include fresh seasonal fish and more.
Gluten free pizza was thin crust style and nice and crispy. Very tasty toppings. Solid 7/10 on my quest to find the best NJ style GF pizza, 10/10 would eat again.
Nice crispy pizza. It was thin, cheesy, but the Elkin style wings stole the show. We enjoyed this place more than we did Kinchley‘s Tavern, and the waitress here was absolutely phenomenal.
Nellie’s Place in Waldwick was excellent! I was excited to finally try it after hearing so many great things, especially since I’m a big fan of Kinchley’s. I got the breaded eggplant vodka pie, and it was delicious. The pizza had great flavor, and I was truly impressed by the space, hospitality, and overall experience. Everything was clean, the service was fast, and the staff made it feel welcoming. The parking lot was huge too! Definitely a 5-star spot, and I’ll be back!
