"52 years of Pizza excellence in New Jersey. This is a hidden gem as you have to travel to West Milford, NJ to find and experience. The Patscher family has been telling me about this place for over 4 years now for the Pizza Hunters App. Today I happend to be close and was able to stop for a classic cheese pizza. I was able to meet the legend himself, Michael, who at 87 years old in 95 degree heat, was working in the garden. The Pizza itself brought me right back to the style of slice you would get in the 80s. The sauce was outstanding and had the prefect blend of cheese and crust. The little bit of grease on the slice put it over the top. What an amazing story and journey for this Pizzeria. Not many like this left anywhere. Go now. Pie Ya. Pie Ya."

"Still delicious pizza. I moved out of state but was in the area and stopped for a couple of slices of good cheese pizza. It was good as always. They do have all the usual Italian dishes here also. Try it. You'll like it."

"Hands down the best slice in west milford. Sauce is made fresh, not canned like Frank's. Owner takes pride in his sauce and pies. If the rest of their food is anything like their slices, order and enjoy bliss. I'd go as far as saying it's a top 5 slice in the Tri-State area."

"Born and raised in WM. But haven’t been back in years. Was driving through and decided I wanted some pizza. 35 years since I have had Vesuvio’s. Walked in and the same owner was there. Couldn’t believe it. Got a couple of pepperoni slices. Took it to go. Got out to the car and demolished the first slice. Walked back in and told him “Still the best F-ing pizza”. Top quality service and great quality food. Will have to make my way back up there more often."

"Way to lose a customer over a side of ranch dressing. Spent $46 on pizza and the owner threw a fit when his counter guy almost didn’t charge me for $1.75 for a small HALF FILLED ramekin of ranch dressing then proceeded to complain about his costs and profit. As a business owner myself, these are things you do for your customers."
