  1. A solidly tasty pizza joint. I can't comment on the service as I only get take out when visiting.

    Pepperoni gives you a nice oily cheesy gooey flavor for pizza.

    The special salad has mozzarella and peppers and a good oil and vinegar dressing.

    I always request it when visiting family so something keeps me going back!

  2. Had two slices of pizza here cause I was hungry and I saw it on boozy burbs.  Got to say really reasonably-priced for a slice of pizza.  The pizza itself was really good really good balance of cheese and sauce.  Gives you a good mouthful without being to much of either. Crust was really crunchy not soggy even with the good amount of grease that was on it.  Which in my opinion is the best part.  The only complaint I had were that the slices were a little small I mean me personally I would rather pay a little more and get a bigger slice but, realistically two slices really does the trick as far as a craving goes.  They also had a large menu and a lot of different things to order besides pizza.  All and all great price really good pizza.

  3. When you are craving pizza, pretty much any place will do. I can't say that this was outright bad, but it is definitely not anything I will go back to given the other options in the area. The crust was crisp and therefore the best part, but the sauce was tasteless and the cheese felt more like the cheese off a frozen grocery store pie. The only thing flavoring my take-out pie was the pepperoni on top, which as unbelievable as this sounds, also left me unsatisfied. It was, meh. Overall, I think this place is meh, which is why I gave it 2 stars. I don't like that they don't deliver. A pizza place that doesn't deliver? Seems improbable and ridiculous, well it's definitely the latter. I didn't actually go inside myself to pick up from there, but was told their customer service is pretty sub-par. So what is keeping this place going? The world may never know. I certainly don't.

    There are plenty of other options in the area, stick with those. Or, pick up a frozen pie from the grocery store, which will undoubtedly have more flavor and be cheaper.

  4. I love Rudy's!

    Every time I visit Jersey there is an obligatory visit to Rudy's. I am not complaining at all – I look forward to it.

    This time around we ordered a pie for $15 – half pepporoni and half plain – to go. DEFREAKINGLICIOUS.

    From what I have heard, and I believe this to be in general true wherever you go for pizza, the pie here tastes so much better than when ordered by the slice.

    I did see someone that went home with slices – holy moly they are GIGANTOR!

    Rudy's is family owned. I believe it's been at least 2 generations owned by father then son.

    The people were real nice, down to earth. Being from California, I totally got a kick out of the Jersey accent! I just love the Jersey accent!

  5. Italian restaurants can be hit or miss, but Rudy's was good on all fronts. The customer service was good. Our server was very prompt and friendly. Their food is on the pricey side, but the prices are reasonable because the portions are large. They have one of the best spaghetti and meatball dishes I've ever had. The meat was tender, and the sauce was tangy and flavorful. Rudy's was also very clean and spacious compared to a lot of mom and pop Italian placed. I'd definitely go again.
