Nonna’s Brick Oven Pizzeria & Restaurant is home to good, not great pizza. Back when Nonna’s first opened in 2009, I came by often for a slice or two, or the occasional family deal of a pie, buffalo wings, and soda for a whoppin’ $20. But after exploring the neighborhood more, I’ve found better places to get pizza.
The pizza at Nonna’s is tasty, but the dough is chewy and not crisp, even if you ask them to make it that way. For plain pizzas, the tomato sauce is on the sweet side, and sometimes is a little bland. You can go for the pizza with toppings, but be warned, Nonna’s likes to OD on toppings regardless of what it is – Buffalo chicken, Chicken Marsala, or even their White Pizza.
Nonna’s menu also has the typical pizzeria items on the menu – wedges, rolls and calzones, as well as typical Italian dishes. Regarding the rolls, the chicken roll is decent – again, the sauce is bland, so you’re gonna have to bring the roll home and use your own dipping sauce.
On the plus side, Nonna’s got some good deals on the menus that are delivered to your mailbox, or on their counter, so be sure to take advantage of them before ordering. The use of coupons makes Nonna’s worth it.
