Clemente’s Pizzeria and Cafe Italiano

After getting poor service at Marcello’s multiple times when being a long time customer, I tried Clemente’s for pizza. They are worse. Not only weren’t the pizzas in the oven multiple times when showing up after the time they told me, there were multiple times when the got the order wrong. They all had an attitude and did not even apologize. I am now going to Dimaio’s and getting much better service.

I always used to see Clemente’s when walking into Strega Bistro, so once I found out both venues are owned by the same person, I HAD to order from Clemente’s considering my amazing experiences in Strega.
The proud and joy of this place… GRANDMA’S PIE. Trust me. You will not be disappointed.

My favorite pizza and go-​to for special occasions, the grandma pie. It’s a large, square, thin crust pizza with crushed san marzano tomatoes, homemade mozzarella, garlic, evoo, and fresh basil. Delicious! !! Every bite is just pure heaven.
The crust has a nice crunch, but yet has a bit of chew to it. The tomatoes are just heavenly with the most amazing taste. Ah, the cheese is divine. And all of this has fresh basil as the final flavor to complete the perfection. Yum!!!

This pizza was incredible, almost was like being in Napoli, the crust was perfect. Thin well done not too much cheese. Can’t say there are many I have been to in this area I like this much. Just make sure you tell them how you want it. It has a nice vibe and not overpriced. I’m not local but it was worth a visit. Its a pizzeria, order pizza its probably what they do best, just crazy hunch. Better to wait a little than have doughy half cooked blob.

Best pizza in our area! Thin crust. We get cheese pie or garlic and it is amazing! I’ve gotten slices during lunch and they are actually better than the whole pie. They have an area to sit that seems recently renovated, but I usually pick up and go. I ordered a basic pasta dish here once and it was alright. Pizza it is then! Never any hassles — in and out!

I recently moved to the area from out of state. I decided to make this the first pizza delivery place I try. This was a huge mistake. The pizzas crust was alright– very thin. But the sauce on the pizza was almost nonexistent and the cheese had far too strong of an orange cheddar taste. I also ordered garlic knots. Those were equally disgusting. Covered in minced garlic, it was like taking a spoon full of minced garlic to the mouth… And I usually say the more garlic the better. The dough for the knots very bland and not buttery at all. I’m really hoping not all pizza places in the area are this bad since I did research to determine this was the best pizza in the area.

The grandma’s pizza is amazing!

The only place where my son will order pizza. The best Grandma’s pie and now great salads too!

Nice pizza place for take out.

Grandma’s pie was delicious. I didn’t think I could get this kind of pie in the suburbs. The ingredients are fresh and the sauce was amazing. Good crust. Overall a hearty meal at a reasonable price and fast delivery.

Grandma’s pizza is by far the best of its kind. No one can make it better than these guys. The only issue with it, is that you will not be able to stop eating ! Must try

I ordered for our office around 11am I was told it would be an hour before the pies were delivered. At 12pm no pizza arrived. I waited till 1230 to call. I was told we had to wait due to a big order before ours being delivered. The pizza finally arrived at 1pm…2 hours after the order was placed. The pizza was cold like it had been sitting out for hours…2 to be exact! Had they not planned on delivering for two hours this should have been told to us at time of ordering and they should have waited to make our pizzas till time of delivery! The taste wasn’t that great either. We ordered a plain, pepperoni (which tasted blah), buffalo chicken (which had no sauce on it), and a ½ mushroom ½ sausage. We definitely will not be ordering from this place ever again! I want my money back in fact!

Grandma pizza is out of this world!!! Staff is great also.

There are a few really good pizza places in the area, but the Grandma’s pizza at Clemente’s is one of the top 2. I wish the crust was crisper, but the sauce! The cheese! ! You have to try it.
It would be nice if the staff was a little friendlier..

Their gluten-​free pizza is really good and the people who work there are always friendly.

I gave Clementes a try based off the ratings that I read here and it was great. The Grandma pizza was wonderful. I’ll be back again for sure.

The best pizza around. In fact, this is some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. The simplicity is what makes it perfect. Thin foldable slices with the perfectly flavored sauce and just the right amount of cheese. I would say don’t even bother with toppings because of how good the basic pie is. The only topping we ever get is garlic, which will leave your breath kickin but its definitely worth it.
This pizza is even better reheated the next day. The grandma slices are also fantastic, but the real winner here is the standard pie.
I’ve never eaten in the restaurant, but the take out is always ready within 15 min of calling. Prices are pretty reasonable too. I have a feeling that I won’t go anywhere else for pizza in this area!

Want a good pizza? Come here. Want some good calamari, Orichetti with broccoli rabe and sausage and other reasonably priced Italian specialties? Come here.
Not really a dine in location. Come load up and enjoy at home. We have for years. Delicious.

Stopped by here after visiting the area and unsuccessfully having a night out (we tend to forget to make reservations). We tried Delicious Heights as our fifth or so stop in an attempt to eat out in Berkeley Heights, and we were slapped with another ridiculous wait time. So back to the car we went when I noticed this tiny place and that was that. I HAD to eat then and there (hangry) and I’m glad this was where we ended up. Sitting at their one dine in table, we had the best slices we’ve eaten in awhile. Very, very good pizza, and extremely friendly staff. Would absolutely recommend for their pizza/​takeout.

I was in the mood for a cheese pie so I decided to try Clemente’s. I placed my order over the phone and pick it up instead of eating there. (I wanted to watch the Heat playoffs.)
The girl who took my order was very friendly. She told me it would be ready in 15 minutes and it was. The aroma when i entered was amazing! There are two sections to Clemente’s. One which is the pizzeria, it has 4 tables and Café Italiano which is part of the same place but a sit down restaurant with waiters.
The pizza was large and baked beautifully. It had a crispy crust with lots of mozzarella cheese on top.. It wasn’t thick and it wasn’t thin just perfect. The sauce was tasty and u could taste a hint of herbs and garlic. YUM!
Next time I go back I want to try the Grandma pie. Everyone tells me it’s outstanding ! There prices are very reasonable and for a pizzeria they have an extensive menu. Looking forward to next time!
