TPR Pizzeria Restaurant

After getting our initial order wrong for a white pie, my husband has to go in the freezing cold to get the correct order. They put so much cheese, on top of cheese, that it was inedible! It was a pool of sloppy, spewing cheese, soggy dough, no crust to see because the entire pie was embedded in all sorts of cheeses.
I specifically asked for a little fresh mozzarella along with the usual Ricotta! I did not want pasteurized shredded mozz, only fresh!
We have never gotten a bad pie from them, but this, was disgusting!

Damn, I’ve had a long experience with TPR, and would prefer to give them only good reviews, as I really like all the counter people.
Stopped in for my boring old usual, sliced onion & garlic slices
(Yea, yea, I’m unkissable for at least 24 hours), and a Chicken Parm Hero.
Pretty simple right?
TPR is another joint, where if you want onions on a slice, they use chopped. I always ask what kind do you put on an Italian Hero, they always say sliced, and those are what I get on my pizza (…it’s just my idiosyncrasy, deal.) it’s common practice for those onions to be sliced on the meat slicer, they’re super thin, held in a cold table for sandwiches, and when baked at 500 °F. on a slice, become translucent, and impart a bitter — sweet onion flavor to the slices. Well they couldn’t get it right, but I commend them on thick slicing the onions for my pizza by hand.
Here’s my real problem.
I swear, they either made my Chicken Parm on a stale hero roll, or finished it (melted the cheese) in the friggin’ microwave…
Have you ever put leftovers ij your home microwave, and when they first come out they’re OK, (not great, OK) but then start to harden into something you give your dog to strengthen his jaws?
That was my Chciken Parm. Wjile I was waiting for my order, I never saw the sandwich go into the Pizza Oven (Traditional) to be finished.
Eating out is really becoming a dissapointing buzz kill…
The original Tenafly Pizza was located where Celebrity Bagels is now, next to the Stop & Shop in Tenafly, and operated by 3 brothers from Italy. It’s where I learned how to wait tables, fold pizza boxes, and make meat balls. A far cry from today’s TPR.
But seriously, with all that’s going on in the world I feel like a moron taking time to gripe about my inexpensive takeout orders…

The hostess is by far the most rude woman in the food service industry. She yells at children and makes you feel uncomfortable in the restaurant. I wish I could give negative stars!!! The food is average. Unfortunately, there are not many other options for dining w a large group including children in the area

Pizza is always delish staff is always friendly and since it’s right next to stop and shop it’s so hard for me not to come in a grab a slice in tenafly this is one of the more decent pizza spots

Pizza is just ok. Fries were good. has cheese that falls off. My kiddies said deff not their favorite pizza,

When I’m in Tenafly and I’m in the mood for pizza, I’ll almost always order from TPR. I haven’t dined here but as far as take out goes, I’m not complaining!

They have never, ever gotten any take out orders I call in correct. I’ve asked for fresh mushrooms and gotten canned mushrooms (and when I ask them to remake it, yes, it has fresh mushrooms. They have them. Not sure how you mess that up when I specifically say «fresh mushrooms not canned please».) I’ve asked for spinach in my calzones and gotten ham. I’m really not sure how that mistake was made.
They only seem to get the order right when I STAND THERE and STARE AT THEM while they make stuff. Maybe it’s the girl who answers the phone but is mysteriously never present at the counter when I go to pick up so I can ask her what the hell is wrong with her hearing aid?
Why do I have to babysit them to do their work?
The two star is generous. When they remake the food, it’s delicious, but NEVER what I ordered the first time… Making it a huge waste of time and very aggravating. Not to mention the attitude when I tell them I won’t accept what I didn’t order.

Awesome pizza! Large slices and quick service on my last visit. My family that lives in Tenafly goes there all the time and I stop by when in town. Definitely recommend it!
Tip: Avoid this spot after school. Hangout spot for kids and it tends to get really crowded.

Once again, my takeout order was incorrect! This time I chose not to wait for the staff to make what I actually ordered and walked out. When I called them to speak to the owner, «Mario» told me that there was no ticket for the calzone that I ordered. So? When I asked what the hell goes on there, he asked what I do for a living. I’m done with TPR!

I’ve only done takeout from here, so this review is for that. The pizza is fine, but I really do like their meatball heroes — delicious! The food is heavy and greasy, as is often your typical Italian food, but it is delicious. There is parking available in the lot.

Everything about TPR is nice. Nice staff, nice good, nice atmosphere. It’s a reliable place and I couldn’t expect anything wild or outstanding to happen there, which is totally fine by me.

Great value, decent red sauce restaurant and service is always efficient. The pasta fagoli soup is quite good as are the wings.
We have never left without a doggie bag as the portion sizes are ample. If you are looking for fine dining this is not the place for you, however if you are looking for basic Italian food at a place that will not break the bank then you will be disappointed

Every time I come here with my son I discover another meal to Unilocal about! Pizza is delicious add a topping or two and it gets even better. Chicken parm is excellent! A must have imo. Staff is friendly and helpful when we have lunch here. My son likes the pan fried veal and the pasta dishes the most. Worth the expense for lunch or a special occasion. Portions tend to be big but plentiful. If you have not stopped by already do consider it!

Place is arrogant since they still get business despite we have asked TPR to put up a Menorah along with their Christmas tree during holiday season in the Jewish town of TENAFLY! I hope they eventually get the message and start considering their local customers more and I hope someone responds to this so they know the message about not being anti-​Semitic TPR is heard and understood

Absolutely love their blue cheese salad with chicken! The only bad thing is when I got a take out and I had someone get it for me, they forgot my snapple and they didn’t want to deliver it to me. But other than that, great!

Only plain slices, counter person not very friendly, offered me to go or to sit outside at one of two dirty tables. Pizza is nice and thin but oily as hell, which means they use crap cheese. On the bright side, me two year old liked it. Will never come back.

Typically Italian dishes, cozy atmosphere, friendly owners, good cleaning and fair prices! The best in Garwood!
Rudy’s does this really well. The staff are friendly to a fault, and the food is delicious.
Clean, good value for money, friendly staff, delicious food. Can’t ask for more than that.

I have been going to TPR for over 25 years. It is classic. It’s become my standard — like the way you compare food to the way your mom made it. Seldom do we ever find a veal parm to match TPRs freshness and quality. Not too much breading and it’s always crispy and perfect. The sauce is great. The cheese melted deliciously on top is perfect. I see some inconsistent reviews and I don’t know why. People must not be ordering the veal/​chicken parm because in 25 years they have never let me down.
They’ve upgraded and expanded several times over the years and it seems to me their upgrades always reflect what the community wants. There’s a casual, family side, a more quiet dining side. They have a section for parties. They have oversized, comfortable booths.
Service is so reliable. Some of the same servers have been there ten years or more. Even the bus
It’s on the MUST DO list when each of my three kids come back to town.

Tried it out last night and it was good pizza.
Positively surprised they have green olives as a topping.
Had to pick up as they don’t deliver.

I love TPR!
If you want Italian food cooked by real Italians, go to TPR. The owners are very friendly and
will quickly remember you. The best waitress at TPR is Joy. She never gets anything wrong, knows what we want each time we eat there and just knows what she’s doing. We also love Kelly and Sarah.
The food is amazing. Start with a Pasta e Fagioli soup. It’s sooo good. All of TPR’s pasta is great. My favorites: Rigatoni Bolognese with Ricotta Cheese and Penne a la Vodka. Try the calzone, it is not from this world. The pizza never disappoints. It’s exactly what pizza should be like. Thin crust, but not to a point where you still feel hungry after having three slices, and just the perfect amount of sauce and cheese. TPR’s Chicken Parm is insane! I love it. If you’re trying to go healthy, get grilled chicken with veggies. Their grilled veggie platter is amazing. I could go on and on about how much I love pretty much everything on their menu.
The restaurant has a great size. We never came here and didn’t get a table. It’s the perfect place for everyone. Families, dinner with friends… Even though it’s a great neighborhood restaurant, it doesn’t look like one. It has lots of comfortable booths to sit in, but doesn’t feel like a diner.
If the family is too lazy to leave the house, TPR is the place we always order take out from. It never takes longer than 25 minutes and the food tastes just as amazing at home. :-)
