Papa Vito’s Belleville: Reviews & Ratings
Every time we've eaten there it always seems busy. This due to the food and service. Pizza is great, salads are huge, and the French dip roast beef sandwich is big enough for two unless you are very hungry. We haven't had a bad meal yet. We usually have leftovers to take home.
Pizza is outstanding! Good customer service and reasonable pricing as well. We really enjoy this place
Excellent food and the specials are phenomenal and there is lots of seating and the table service is phenomenal. Great place for family functions. Awesome menu and food for everyone! Great desserts! 5
I haven't been to Papa Vito's for years so we decided to try it again. We had a house salad and it was ginormous. My wife and I both grazed on the salad through dinner and we still had a sufficient amount to take home. We also ordered a pizza and it was very delicious. I would recommend if you're in the area to visit this restaurant. Or server provided excellent service and the restaurant decor complemented the restaurant building which was a previous residence at one time.
Return visit, had to try those wings!! Hubby chose the Philly Steak with Mozzarella Cheese and Marinara sauce; first unacceptable thing we've had here. The beef was hard and crisp, being able to "break off" some of it. Thank goodness for the Au jus and Marinara; he would've never been able to get it down. I had to try their well known delicious wings, I selected the Papa's Preferred Wings. The seasoning was perfect, oh so delicious and moist with every bite!! The pizza, salad and wings are their forte!!!!!! Service was a little slow. Dining room had just a few other patrons, nice and quiet!
Food was excellent as always. Service minimal unless you are lucky enough to get the owners wife or Stacy. We keep coming back because of great food!!'nn
Still the best around. And better yet I'm still around to eat it. I do believe I'm addicted to the meatball sandwich.
First time to dine at this location. We went right after the St Pats parade and they were slammed. We waited just a short time before the waitress came to bring water and such. She apologized for the wait which really was not a problem. After ordering our food was pretty quick. The salad came out 1st. It was enough for 3 people!! But since our friend didnt want any I took some home. We split a large supreme pizza- hand tossed. All of it delicious! This location is in an old house so it kinda adds to the character. In the lowest level (sort of half basement?) they had a bar and live music playing.
Great staff even on busy nights. The pizza, breadsticks, and garlic bread were amazing! The salad is huge-enough for 2 to 3 people. House dressing is a must! Great for large and small families. The chicken Alfredo pizza was so good as well.
