Santoni's Pizzeria and Restaurant

Santoni's Pizzeria and Restaurant is a beloved family-owned Italian restaurant located at 42 Outwater Lane in Garfield, New Jersey, serving the community since 1988. Founded by Ed Lewer and Joe Parillo, both veterans of the restaurant industry, this pizzeria has become a cornerstone of Garfield's culinary scene. The restaurant prides itself on using only the freshest ingredients and highest quality products, preparing every dish with the same dedication that has earned them generations of loyal customers. The menu features an impressive array of pizzas, Italian classics, and their famous sandwiches including The Gianna, made with thinly sliced fried eggplant, roasted red peppers, fresh mozzarella, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Their Creamy Pistachio Pancetta pasta has become a summer favorite, featuring a rich pistachio-ricotta sauce topped with crunchy pancetta at $14.95. The Chicken Caesar Sandwich offers a crispy chicken cutlet with melted mozzarella, romaine lettuce, Parmesan, and Caesar dressing for $12.95. Other highlights include the Grilled Peach Salad and Caesar Salad Sandwich. Santoni's also offers convenient online ordering through ChowNow,-catering services for events, and Tuesday-Wednesday night specials. The second location opened in Ridgewood in 2013, and both establishments continue supporting local community programs and fundraising initiatives.
