“ Was visiting a buddy of mine who lives in SP and he suggested grabbing a pie from this place which happened to be right next door to a bakery my mom always brought us to when we were younger. Small world. They left the decision up to me and I'm typically pretty indecisive, panic then make a terrible choice but it's safe to say this was a successful order! Went with the drunken grandma and added pepperoni to half. Gorgeous looking & phenomenally tasting square pie. ”
“ I was picking up an order for my aunt and as she raved about their food, I decided to try their penne vodka with shrimp. It wasn't bad, it wasn't the best I ever had either. I'd probably order it again if I was picking up food here again. Great service. ”
“ I've been coming here for years I do love their Sicilian slices. It's always the right mix of good quality cheese, sauce and dough. I have never gotten a bad pizza from them ever. You can order at the counter or if you want you can sit down restaurant style and they do have a restaurant style expanded menu of pasta and etc. The service is very good be it at the counter or the waitress. It's a nice casual place to bring a date or a group They usually have soccer on TV if your fan of that sport. It's definitely worth a visit ”
“ Hard to believe this restaurant is in a strip mall. It deserves it own building and truly be a "destination" eatery which it now has become for me. I have not tried its pizza, nor have stayed for in person service. Thus, can not comment on pizza or service. But, I have had over ten items on its rather large menu during past three months, and All not some, were wonderful and noteworthy to write about for others to enjoy. First, and probably most importantly, the taste of the food has been most appealing across the board. Whether a tomato sauce, vodka sauce, Marsala sauce, white wine, etc, all have been fantastic. The meats, beef, veal, and shrimp were cooked to perfection. All ingredients were placed together at the same time, as the dishes were still hot when I get home, even though I drive old man speeds away. I enjoy little things like the breads being toasted with the entree and the pretty garnishes with some dishes. I've come here different days of the week and different times of the day, and the food was consistently great. Last the prices are a steal. You get NYC upscale cooking at pizza parlor prices. I'd urge all to visit before this store goes Manhattan bound. ”
“ I don't frequent this place as much as I should. Food is always good/fresh and the staff friendly...but for some reason I end up getting pizza closer to where I used to live...I guess just out of habit and familiarity...Last weekend however I didn't feel like driving far and Rodolfo's was one of the few places open without the shortened holiday hrs on Sunday. Ordering thru their online portal is very easy. I like the fact that the online menu has a picture of the items so you see what you are getting. I ended up ordering a vodka grandma pie and a grandma half sausage and half pepperoni. The times I have ordered here I generally get round pies...this was my first time getting their grandma. Rodolfo's didn't disappoint. Vodka sauce was amazing as well as the toppings on the other pie. A little different from other grandmas I have had...Brothers Pizza in Staten Island and Joey D's in Metuchen both have very thin grandmas pie crusts which is what I am used to...Rodolfo's is a little thicker. Not think like a Sicilian slice (I am not a Sicilian slice guy) this grandma probably 1/2" thick maybe 1/3" thick...crispy and a little airy towards the middle of the slice...Their red sauce is very flavorful and garlicky which I like. They also pack their pizzas in a Rodolfo's branded box. It's all about the details. Most run of the mill places just use a Roma paper products box...never understood why more places don't put their name on pizza boxes...it's advertising all the way up to the time the trash man picks it up...but back to the pizza...they have a really good slice here. I sent some pictures to a friend of mine and she ended up going this past weekend to get a few grandma pies for her kids and husband all the way from North Brunswick just based on my pictures alone...I have only gotten take out here but there is in door dining. I have never tried it but they sell gelato here too. I highly recommend grabbing a pie from here. South Plainfield gem. ”
“ Tried this place out today for the first time and it was great!!! Best thing about it is that they have a dedicated keto menu for people on that diet. It is a very low key place that serves dine in, take out, delivery, and they even have gelato. Definitely going back again. ”
