Top Italian restaurants in Fort Lee, United States

Pomodoro never lets me down. Pizza 👌 baked Clams 👌 Diet Coke 👌 Penne Vodka 😍 and the Lasagna & sauce is out if control delicious and the whole staff are excellent. Zero complaints. This place is perfect indoors and outdoors! They never disappoint!

Since I moved to the area and tried several different pizzerias all with bad disappointment, this is my favorite place. However they have shrunk the size of their small pizza, baked entrees and baked calzone. Their desserts like tiramisu are insanely overpriced. I will not order these items again.They still blow away the competition though.This does not say much for pizzerias in this region.

Hands down, one of the BEST PIZZA in North Jersey. I have literally been to almost every restaurant in the downtown area of Fort Lee and have missed this place until now. I am someone that loves a good authentic, thin crust, flavor bursting slice (or pie if I'm really hungry) and that is exactly what I got from Baggios! They have a great list of specialty pizzas, which we ordered the Pizza Pesto small 14" pie (6 slices) and OMG it was delicious!!!! Amazing pizza doesn't always need a million toppings, most times being minimalistic allows for the tastiest flavors to shine and I savored every last bit. We only ordered pizza but they have tons of other food items, which I will definitely be back to try!
From the moment we walked in, service was friendly and attentive. The inside of the restaurant was traditional , a good amount of tables, and had a social atmosphere. Due to the restaurant being right downtown, parking can be a little tough and is metered in most areas. However, this pizza restaurant is a must try and bookmarked!!

*We were starving and the pizza was so delicious, we only captured one quick photo!

I’ve picked up and now gotten delivery, their sandwich specials and menu in its entirely is amazing. A++ also the Dining area upstairs, so cool. Low key best Italian food in Fort Lee

Taste of pizza is random depending if they burn it or not. But the pizza is expensive and they do not have coupons or discount.

Hey Linwood friends, we’ve been coming to Linwood Pizza for the past two years and my two boys love it. The cheesecake is pretty good also. James and the staff are really sweet to my boys. Thank you ☺️🍕

I left them such a great review on Grubhub because I just ordered from them yesterday, I loved my experience and food so much that I ordered the same exact item today. My order arrived and wasn’t the same as yesterday, the delivery man was so sweet and amazing but the food was disgusting. The eggplant tasted old and left a sour after taste. I took two bites and immediately called the restaurant to tell them about the experience. I was offered to have the item replaced (no apology about the order I already placed that was rancid) I don’t eat meat so I requested a penne ala vodka , I was then told that I had to pay another $10 and wait 35 minutes for the order to arrive. I explained that this wasn’t my fault and I just ordered yesterday so why wouldn’t you just replace the item no charge. Then Male on the phone was very dismissive and solely cared about collecting the extra $10 before making their mistake right. I live in fort lee four years, I would never ever order from baggios again! I understand that things happen so that wasn’t even my concern as far as the order…. It was the way the guy on the phone handled the situation. No regard for the customer who clearly enjoyed the food and ordered again the very next day!

AWESOME place! The owner was very cool and respectful of the person doing some public filming from the sidewalk in support of 1st Amendment rights. The proprietor really represented Baggio's and the City of Ft. Lee in a positive light. I recommend everyone stop by for a pizza if you can.
A+

Love this place. Nice spot with big menu. Sat upstairs and ordered a Large pie with two orders of buffalo wings. Everything was very tasty and food was on point. Server was very nice. After Vinny’s closed in CP, this is my go to spot as the pizza tastes authentic and fresh.

Almost $20 for stuffed shells. Meal included 3 shells and very acidic sauce. This is the cost of research.

These guys not only make delicious pizza, but have the classiest customer service. I ordered through Slice, but accidentally ordered for pickup at their newly-opened New York location. When I arrived at the Fort Lee location to pick up my pies, they made the same pies and didn’t charge me for what I paid. Top-notch!

This post is specifically for the Garlic Knots and the garlic drizzled on them! They are the best I’ve ever had! I’m not finished with my lunch and I’m already looking forward to going back!!! Thank you!

Amazing pizza and service. Top tier. I try all the top pizza joints in the Tri state and this is up there with the best. My server Anna was very friendly and accommodating.

Great pizza, I love the pepperoni, crispy crust. Perfecto👍❤️

The service is typical high energy slice slinging, the location is in a strip mall with ample parking, but the pizza is just ehhh…

It’s also unsettlingly expensive, but then again a lot of things are these days. The north end of Fort Lee lacks great pizza. Whereas folks on the south end of town have Urban Tomato. (Shakes fist at sky).

The salad pizza slightly heated is incredibly delicious. I was lucky to be here the first day he tried it out. James is so personable and takes pride in his pizza creations. I’ll be back for more.

I've had a couple of experiences ordering from this place, the food is okay, but it seems like the portions are getting smaller, the lasagna rustica was ok, the chicken parm with marinara sauce is decent. The deliveries are always on time. It could be hit or miss here.

I rarely do these reviews, but anyone who gives this place 1 or 2 stars without a very good reason is just hating. I’m from CT, and every time my family comes down this way we make sure to try and swing by because this place has some of the best thin crust pizza we’ve ever had (not to mention their award winning garlic knots). The pizza dough has an incredible lightness and crisp to it, and I’ve never had any pizza here that is greasy. Don’t sleep on this place, it’s not New Haven or NYC pizza, but please stop hating on it lol.

My favorite pizza spot in Fort Lee. The pizza is thin and crispy here. I usually get vodka, cheese, and margherita if I get by the slice. If I order the whole pie, I like their pizza baggio (white sauce) and pizza milanese. If you are dining in, there is a nice outside sitting area in the back.

When you are in Fort Lee and craving Pizza, you need to go to Linwood Pizza! The crust is crunchy and delicious! They use just the right proportions of cheese and sauce! You won't be disappointed! The team is friendly and the place is super clean! God Bless America! God Bless Blue & Gold!

It wasn’t bad for me. People are nice, dishes are great for me. They has their own sauce.

I stumbled into baggios one day by accident. And have been going ever since. Their pizza is absolutely amazing. Very thin, lightly sweet sauce, very flavorful with a beautiful crust. The staff is very friendly too.

Not from this area, so, Googled "pizza near me", and after a few moments, selected Presto's based on location, prices, and selections- the menu is super expansive, and the pricing is amazing! If you grab a menu, there are coupons that will save you a lot of money!

Menu offerings include standard fares such as standard pizza, Corleone style, gourmet and Sicilian. Dough creations include calzones, strombolis, and a variety of rolls, i.e., pepperoni, vegetable and cheese steak. Focaccia, Buffalo wings, salads, side orders, sandwiches, cheese steaks, cheese burgers, pasta dinners- the options are endless!!!!

Upon entering, I was greeted cheerily by the young man running the ovens. Pie was almost ready, so I took a few pictures while waiting.

Presto's offers online ordering, free delivery with $10 minimum purchase, dining in, and off premise catering.

I'm spoiled by the pizza that I get in my hometown, so I was extremely impressed by the pizza I got from Presto's- by my guesstimation it's a Neopolitan American pie, thin crust but chewy, and a great value (about $20 for a large pepperoni).

If I'm in the area again I will not search for any other pizza and pasta- Presto's will be my go to.

I would have given 1 Star but atleast the sauce tasted good, and the pizza was on time and warm, so giving 2 Stars.

Ordered the Corleone Pizza and for the 1st time in life experienced what people mean when they say the pizza tastes like cardboard. It was just too hard and I couldn't bring myself to get through the 2nd slice eventhough I was extremely hungry 😔

First time here and pleasantly surprised by the 2 excellent pies. Both crusts were cooked perfectly and have to say enjoyed the corleone better than the regular round pie. Customer service was awesome will definitely be back!

One of my favorite local pizza places in the area! My go to order is the Large Margherita pie!
Owner is friendly and puts personal touch in all he makes!
(Photographed is a large Margherita pie with added mushrooms)
The pizza was perfectly cooked and delicious!

Edit: (1/3/2023) Dropped to 4 stars due to 4% "Pressing Fee" (I believe they meant processing fee). I know some places do this, but if you're going to charge extra for credit card, state it over the phone as well instead of having hidden fees to purchasing pizza. Still amazing pizza, but seeing that on my credit card statement after the fact left a bad taste in my mouth. Also after purchasing a 2 liter soda, with cash, incorrect change was given after looking at the receipt. Total was $4.46, paid with a 20, got $15 flat back. 0.56 cents was not worth driving back for, but again not good business.

Located right on Main Street in the heart of Fort Lee, this is the best pizza place in and around. From the face of it, it’d look like a regular next door restaurant but don’t be fooled! The flavours are so authentic, and rich. They have an outdoor patio seating on the rear side (something I discovered after living in the city for 4years!) which had an amazing ambience and a great vibe. We thoroughly enjoyed our new find.

Delicious! Got the Corleone pizza with just sauce, onion and broccoli. Amazing. Thick but chewy, not like a dense bread. Perfectly crispy and charred just a tiny bit on the edges for a little extra pop of flavor. Owner is a friendly, hands on man, serving up hot pizza. I’ll definitely be back.

I am only giving 2 stars because the waitress was the only great experience we had at this restaurant. The food however, beyond basic! I am a huge foodie and my partner and I were completely disappointed in the food quality.
We ordered a mozzarella salad ( the mozzarella was not fresh , it was dry out of a pack, maybe from sorrento).
We also ordered the stuffed clams ( there was a dead clam that was rotten and of course that in itself was not delightful)
Also we ordered the Napoli brick oven pizza ( we were really disappointed since it clearly was not from the brick oven 😑, definitely made in the regular oven , there is a specific taste from brick oven pizza and this was just not it)

Staff was great, food below average.

Buy pizza per slice or the whole pie. Enjoy their very own soda with an amazing slice of pizza. I've always been picky with my pizza and this one just knocked all others down a notch. My new all time favorite. Stop in a grab a slice that will be fresh out of the brick oven. Don't be fooled by the pizza under the glass, it will be hot and delicious!!

Visited with my husband on a Wednesday night. We went upstairs to their dining room. Downstairs is where people order take out. At 7 pm the place was completely empty which I did not mind, having the place to ourselves. We sat by the window and the server brought us menus. We ordered a 12" pizza and the spicy pasta with an added protein (shrimp). While we waited for our food we were given some warm bread. I would have liked some butter or olive oil to accompany the tasty bread but that's all we got. I noticed there were some flies on the window so I let them out. No biggie, I guess they wanted relief from the heat, just like us.

The pasta was really good. It came with 4 large shrimp. The pasta was sweet, spicy and savory and the portion was generous. We brought back the leftovers to eat at home. The pizza, I thought, was mediocre. It lacked flavor. I could tell my hubby thought so too because he added pepper flakes and hot sauce to his slices. I am from Brooklyn so I am used to superior quality pizza. Since I liked the pasta so much I used the tomatoes and sauce from it to top my plain cheese slice and it made it taste so much better. If I lived in the neighborhood I would just get the pasta, not the pizza. I would not go out of my way to visit here.

the food was okay- the meatballs were a bit dry and salty- sauce kind of tangy- no plates or ice- 3.5 stars overall but rounded up
