Panatieri’s Pizza & Pasta

My partner and I love going to this place. The staff are always very friendly. They have dozens of pizza options. I love the penne pizza and chicken panini and my partner loves the NJ Famous. There are several Panatieri locations but this one is the best.

Went for a pizza pie and calzone.
The plain pizza was better than
La strada, but the onion and pepper
Topping was undercooked.
Lastrada used much better cheese
In their calzone, the cheese was like
Rubber. Was also surprised to have
Paid $ 25 for what I got.
Good for plain pizza and the Italian
Chicken wings are good too.

Walked in yesterday evening to the restaurant for dinner. The place was very warm, and as we sat down the waitress to our drink order and walked away without giving us menus. As we sat there waiting and waiting we just didn’t get a feeling that anyone cared that we were there. We got up and left…

My husband and I ate in the restaurant part of this pizza joint with a few friends… food is good… pizza is fresh but the penne vodka was the best! Service was good… food came out pretty quickly… clean environment… but the only complaint I have is the logo…“pasta & pizza” r in huge letters but «panatieri’s» in tiny letting? It was hard to find because of that factor…

Surprised ratings are this low for this place. It’s hard to find a great pizza place in the area and this is one of the great ones. Quality toppings for their pizza, tastes great and has good variety. Never had a bad experience here and anytime I want pizza or Italian food for lunch this is where I go

My favorite place to grab pizza. There is even a restaurant in the back which I have never been to but lot of people go there to eat. The kebobs and garlic knots are the perfect side to a slice of pizza. Bound Brook also has a Panatieri’s which is just as good as this one.

This review update is actually long overdue. I’m a huge fan of this Panatieri’s and pretty much every other location. I was down on this place for a while because the service used to be an adventure but the guy they now have running this location does a good job. My wife and I come here almost every weekend, as it’s definitely one of the better spots in the area to run in and have a quick lunch.
Like I’ve mentioned before, the slice pie selection is fantastic. They usually have at least 25 – 30 different pies to choose from. I’m a huge fan of a number of the slices. The following are all very good:
Cheesesteak — excellent, usually a ton of meat
Chicken Parm — I really like this slice. However, sometimes it can be a little on the dry side. Just ask for a side of sauce if it’s a little dry.
Eggplant Parm — very good
Buffalo Chicken — you can’t go wrong with this slice, either. This particular location does not put blue cheese on this slice but it’s always nice and splcy.
You also can’t go wrong with their other slices like sicilian, sausage or meatball. It can definitely get crowded around lunch time but you can usually snag a seat. Give it a shot and I’m sure you’ll be pretty impressed. It’s also kind of cool how each Panatieri’s location does it a little different than the others.

I frequent this place all the time. I usually go to the pizzeria side. From the minute you walk in you realize this is not your average Pizzeria. There is an entire counter of every imaginable combination of toppings on a pizza. They probably have over 20 styles lined up at any given time. From you basic pepperoni, sausage, or plain to several different types of white pies. My favorite is the white pie with broccoli and ricotta cheese. My daughter loves their baked ziti pizza loaded with pasta and cheese on top. They also make buffalo chicken pizza, and pizza with fresh tomato and veggies on top like eggplant. This place doesn’t skimp on toppings.
You can order by the slice, or an entire pizza. They make Calzones, Stromboli’s,
hot and cold sandwiches or complete dinners to go. You can eat in or take it to go. My favorite hot sandwich is the chicken parmesan.
I get mine to go. They use a long narrow container to put the sandwich in. This keeps it from smashing and becoming cold. The chicken is tender and it has the right amount of sauce and cheese on top. I sometimes get their antipasto salad to go with my pizza. The salad is loaded with meats and cheeses, peppers and different veggies. The house dressing is delicious. You can even throw in hot garlic knots. I have also eaten several times on the restaurant side next door.
I recently came in for lunch and ordered their eggplant parmesan. It came with choice of soup or salad and choice of pasta with the the eggplant parmesan. Hot fresh bread was placed on the table with olive oil sauce for dipping. The portion of eggplant was a good size. There was plenty to eat.
The dining-​room is a nice size and decorated with neutral colors. All of the staff from the guys in the pizzeria, to the wait staff in the dining-​room are all very nice and friendly. Every-​time i go i try to get something different. This place is frequented by a lot of locals. It is located in a large strip mall. There is plenty of free parking. I would suggest coming in a getting a slice or two and judge for yourself. I will definitely be back soon.

My fiancé and I have visited this location a couple times, mainly because it’s local and the food is not bad. A while back I ordered the baked ziti with sausage which was way too rich but decently flavored. I would probably skip this next time as it was a little too much for my taste.
This past weekend though, her and I revisited this location and ordered a pizza. I’ve ordered reheated slices for lunch before which were bland and lukewarm. The freshly ordered pizza out of the oven is actually pretty good and definitely the way to go if you visit here. The sauce is a little bland but the dough and crust are top notch. The small Caesar salad I ordered along with the pizza was blah, way too much dressing, drenching the entire salad.
There was also a strange odor permeating from the dining room which we couldn’t quite figure out what it was. I would describe the smell as a bowl of cumin mixed with a sweaty man and thrown together as an air freshener. Was very unpleasant and I almost asked to move. My fiancé even asked if I could visit the bathroom to see where it was coming from but I couldn’t quite pin point it. Luckily, the pizza had enough garlic to make up for this distraction and saved the day. We’ll be back again for some pizza when we’re having a craving; hopefully though, the smell will be gone.

Driving and stuck in some traffic, I stopped by this place. I think ive heard other folks talk about it or maybe it just sounds familiar. I tried the spinach cal-​zones they have in the front pantry and they were okay. A bit bland for my taste but the dough was nice.

We were here for lunch, the first for me, but my friend frequents this place. The lunches are reasonably priced and quantity is there. I had linguine with clams, the best I’ve had and I order this a lot when out. It comes with a large salad and hot rolls. The service was excellent and I would love to go back, but I was in the area visiting. Next time I visit, I won’t hesitate to go back and try other dishes. This place is also very clean, including the restrooms.

Don’t know where to start. I dined here more than five times and each time there is a problem. Last time there I ordered a Caesar salad and it came without any croutons and with processed Parmesan cheese. I told the waiter to tell the chef they need to find a recipe on the internet because they have no idea what they are doing there. I don’t know if it’s because none of the wait staff speak English or because the owner doesn’t give a crap. Never again.

Can’t see why some have given low ratings. I have been here several times — for pizza slices and dinner — and have always had a good experience. Excellent selection of pizza available by the slice. The restaurant section and available food is consistently well prepared. And the sauce is delicious — not sure where some of the negative comments are coming from. This is my «go to» pizza place and I drive past 5 other places just to get there.

I don’t know why this place only has two stars, the pizza is exactly right. And their crostino slice is the thing to have.

just tried this place for the first time, great cheese steak!
i was shocked to see the amount of pizza choices they had ready, at least 15 – 20 different optuons. definitely going to be going back for more!

Well, I had to try Panatieri’s in Warren one more time. The first two «attempts» were a bust! I’m sorry to say that It seems that they still can’t get their act together. The place is nearly empty and they have adequate staff but everyone seems very confused. So, we get there and are not sure if we just chose a table and sit outside or go inside but then which door do we enter (there are 3.) So, we go inside and are instructed to go back out and we can order from the table. Most of the staff do not understand enough english to help you out. I asked for oil & vinegar for my salad and of course they brought the house made vinaigrette which I specifically did not want. So, I asked for the oil & vinegar but only got the vinegar. I had to get up and search for a bottle of oil. My son ordered the buffalo chicken wings. They were terrible. We also had 2 slices of pizza which on a scale of 1 – 5 was a 2. Very disappointing indeed as Warren needs more good casual and family friendly restaurants. We have gone to their location in Martinsville and were happy with the food but I will never return to the Warren location. Three strikes and they are out!

This is part of the chain but each location is very different b/​c I think the owners make their own versions. Out of this chain the best location is flemington, next would be martinsville.
So as for this place.
Their sauce is gross/​bland in comparison to flemington and martinsville. So this directly screws up their pizza /​subs review.
Pizza–
Anything with red sauce I wouldn’t order again, my friend threw his out b/​c he though they were gross. I learned this the hard way when I had a plain slice to put them through their paces.
The only pizza I actually thought was good, was the arugula chicken pizza. Its thing crispy chicken cutlet diced, arugula and some white sauce which I have never had before. It was different and good for what it was. I would go back for this.
Sausage and broccoli rabe pizza– It tasted good except for the sauce. The only thing I would do if I were them, it would not have the broccoli rabe drowning in olive oil, the grease from the cheese, sausage and broccoli rabe was to much.
If you are in warren, this is a good place to goto but I personally think their sauce is way off. If you ever try this plain pizza, then if you are in flemington at their other location. Try it there and you post the difference.

When I first discovered this place, it was a friendly restaurant where you were recognized and alway felt welcome. You could walk into the dining room and order takeout from one of the waiters and enjoy a good meal. This Summer, an attached side area was opened where pizza is ordered and served, and it was all down hill. No longer is that friendly feel there… just another pizza place. Food, service and friendly feel all went out the window. No longer a place I will go to.

Good portions, decent price, friendly staff

Definitely decent pizza and wings in this area.
The pizza is brick oven style and excellent! Thin, yummy and just done how i love.
The wings were different but good! They were baked in the oven with some nice onions on them and they were delicious!
Highly recommended pizza spot in the area!
