Davila's Pizza & Restaurant

Stopped in the new pizza place where Mezza House was today. They are having their soft opening. Hubby got a slice of honey mustard chicken pizza and I got a slice of chicken parm pizza. They were both very good. He makes his own dough, I'm not sure if that is the norm or not. We'll definitely try it again. The crust was thin and crispy but they also have a thick crust and I will be trying their Nonna's soon. They have a full menu of the typical pizzeria restaurant offerings. I hope they do well.

I'm sorry - this place is just a run of the mill pizza joint. We didn't need this. We needed a real Italian restaurant (like Cara Mia). Sad to see this town has such bad Italian options. And please please don't say Mama's.

Disappointed to see.

Yes they deliver. Calico, they told me this evening they plan to have their website and FB page set up by their grand opening of this Friday. We ordered take out tonight and really enjoyed it. We got a meatball pizza and a Nonna's (so good) plus an eggplant rolatini entree. We will continue to get our pizza from here. They are the only local pizzaria we like. We usually go to Carmine's in Netcong.

Thaimaster, I miss Cara Mia too and I agree we didn't need another run of the mill pizza place but they're here and they're actually really good. Well, what I've had so far at least. I wish them well as I don't want to see another business fail.

Just had two plain slices and they were quite good in my opinion. Nice thin crust. Not a place you would go for a sit down meal but the pizza was better than most places around here. Menu has your typical Italian fare and looks reasonably priced. Will try the Hero's the next time.

Looking forward to trying some. I really miss DiMaios, his was the best in town and certainly the best on Main St. Maybe this place will reinstate that spirit. But I agree I don't know how Mama's stays in business, overpriced, lousy food by Italian standards and some of the worst pizza I've eaten.

There is not one authentic Italian restaurant in this town. Think about it. When I saw the banner hanging above Davila's " Italian restaurant coming soon" I thought to myself.... maybe just maybe something unique would be built here.

Nope, a pizza place that has one table to sit at.

For the lover's of Mama's - leave the county, see the world.

Seriously, Hockey mom, I did not taste any presence of garlic in the plain pizza slices I had today.
The pizza is very good -- a lot like the slices in NYC.

To verify ThaiMaster18's vision problem, there were 5 tables on my side of the room at Davila's. I couldn't see how many on the other side. There were also tables outside.
Servers were very nice.

Stopped at that new cafe next to James on Main on the way home. Wow, some really nice looking stuff in there. Brought home some pastries to try tonite. The 2 lovely ladies working there also told us all the things they make for vegetarians.

I hope they will have excellent eggplant parmesian. The former Cliffdale Inn on rt.57 made it properly and it was sooo good --- it was constructed in individual metal serving dishes and *baked* and brought to you in the metal dish , with cheese oozing out over the top of the dish, bubbling and nicely browned. Most places take the short-cut and just put the eggplant on a dish and top with sauce & cheese and melt it...... I guess in a microwave. Just not the same.........

calico -- very interested to know your method. My mother made eggplant parm that has yet to be matched in my opinion. We are not Italian - but she was taught many recipes from Italian neighbors.
She sliced it thick (about 1/2 inch thick) and only dredged in water or milk, then flour. No egg, no breadcrumbs. After frying, then into the pan with sauce & cheese and baked. Absolutely amazing.
She also makes amazing mac & cheese (red-sauced based, also taught from the neighbors ...)

We got a chicken parm pie from Davilas yesterday. Very good! The crust is pretty similar to everyone else around town, standard NY style thin crust. Loved that the bottom was nicely brown and no burnt patches. Sometimes some other places make me wonder how often then clean the ovens.

Topping was very good. We will go back again.

"The crust is pretty similar to everyone else around town, standard NY style thin crust."

Where is this thin crust all around town? Almost every pizza joint I have tried in H'town and Warren Co. is thick and doughy. This is the reason why I always ask for it to be well done. That way it's not like chewing on bubble gum.

I am wondering how Davila slices their pies. When I got 2 slices they were both large --- like NYC slices. The picture Davila posted seems to have the pie cut in 6 slices. But the 2 slices in the picture posted by Greg seem much smaller -- like the pie was cut in 8 slices. One thing I hate is getting a chintzy slice.
Maybe Davila can answer if they slice the pies differently for eating in, as opposed to take-out?

I stopped in today. They are just another pig in the pen - typical pizza for this area. Nothing special, and certainly not thin crust.

calico --- if you look at the size of the 2 slices in Davila's picture already cut -- it seems obvious that there will be 6 slices. At least that is what I see. The portion of each 1/2 pie remaining is 2 more of what was already cut..... not 3 more, at least to my eye.

Can someone bring a tape measure the next time they go and report back the width of the large pie. A true pie should be 16". If it's 15.5" forget it I'm not going. Also how many cubes of ice do they put in the soda. Shouldn't be more than 4.

Never heard of a *true pie* and the size of it being 16".
Do the chef's actually measure the dimensions?

"Eye roll" (to match Jim L's "eye roll")

By the way, mama's pizza is so large it crawls up the sides of the box and they have to tape it closed!!

Must be 18"- 20" inches.

Burn the crust? .... may as well throw it away. Browned, is Ok.
Nothing worse than burnt garlic; burnt bread / flour / crust, and especially
burnt Tomato sauce / gravy.

There are a lot of variables, that can make or break a good pizza.
The moisture of the dough is the #1 factor. Then, the oven type, and temperature, has
an effect on how the pizza will come out.

Sometimes, the amount of the tomatoes / sauce on a pizza, will have an effect.
Too much sauce placed in the center of the dough crust, will make a soggy droopy
center crust.
I can go on and on, and there are many ways to make or break a good pizza.

Can't wait to try Davila's Pizza..... "I'm hoping it comes close to "Star Pizza" in Orange.

Re: Davila's Pizza & Restaurant

@happiestgirl we make bigger pies when we sell slices individually. But when people order a whole large pie they get a 16 inch pie cut in 8 slices. We also sell a medium pie which is 14 inches and cut into 6 slices. Then we have a personal pie that is 10 inches. Hopefully that answers your questions. This is picture of a Medium Tortellini Alfredo pie.

I tried it earlier in the week. I thought it was pretty good, certainly may be the best we have in Hackettstown but that isn't saying much given the competition. Although people do get pretty worked up at what they feel is the best. I liked the crust, I thought the sauce was the most flavorful of the pizza's I've experienced around.

Fresh quality food prepared well and good size portions. Friendly attentive staff. Reasonable prices. We all thought that Davila's was much better than average (it may look like a typical pizza joint but don't let that stop you from going). We will all be back.
BTW, my standard for thin crust is Star Tavern in Orange... Davila's is not that thin but it is much thinner than most, and very light.


Pretty tasty ! Sonny's on 517 is still the best in warren county !!

Toppings are fantastic and varied. But the crust is still too thick for my taste. Closer to Hackettstown mediocre than Bayonne style super thin which I crave. I don't understand why people do not make this. It just takes a little bit more work stretching the dough thinner, which if it is properly made and proofed, will not tear. Easy enough even for me.

4catmom - I am now free from my responsibilities to my daughter and grandsons. Are you still "ready and hungry", and if so, what would you like?

Had a pizza from there last night. Thought it was very good - seemed to have more sauce than others around here. Definite will add this to the rotation for Italian food.

We tried one large pie and one Sicilian last night. Two of us enjoyed it and two of us did not care for it. We will try other items on the menu and will support this business since we want Hackettstown to thrive and not be full of vacant storefronts.

Had the pizza on two other occasions, and I can say I won't go back. It's all about the crust and the last couple of times a flat tasteless crust. Almost like there isn't enough proof time on the dough.

The search continues for good pizza in Hackettstown.

I've eaten there twice this week...once had a salad with chicken and tonight had a slice of pizza and a salad. Very good! We will be back! It's great to have a good pizza place right on Main Street.

Anyone living in or around Panther Valley. I recommend Terranova pizza. Never dissapointed in their plain pie. Also if you want to travel to Long Valley. Pezzo is amazing also as well as Cornstone.

The thin crust pizza is great, you have so many choices to choose from, everyone has there favorite, maybe some of them sound bazar, but try it, you may like it instead of the standard variety, the BBQ chicken one was great

The Man and I found the pizza to be okay, nothing special. Wasn’t all that impressed with the sauce. Thought it had a strange taste, actually. Generally not a fan of thin crust. We both like a little more “meat” to a pie but we figured we’d give this new place a try. Will continue to get our pizzas from Frank’s up by the old A&P.

We ordered tonight for the 2nd time, and we have been very pleased. The Chef's Salad was filled with lots of meat and cheese, as well as very fresh vegetables and hard boiled eggs. The alfredo sauce is among the best we've had, and a variety of sandwiches were delicious. Pizza is a very personal thing....what some love, others will hate. We liked it better than most in town. What I like most about Davila's, though, is that the people behind the counter are friendly. I've had two big orders and someone came around to hold the door both times. A pizzeria on a Friday night is a busy place, and the workers were still calm and cordial....to customers and one another. Good luck to the new business.

Will go back again.

I wish this place well, because last thing we need to see is another closed down store front, however, there is nothing special about this pizza. Also, let’s please refrain from calling this place an Italian restaurant, it’s a pizza place. Nothing more, nothing less. Being a pizza place is fine too. However, after a few visits, I can’t say I’d go back.
Oh, before people start with this being a restaurant, a pizza a place with a few tables does not equal restaurant. Italian cuisine (not pizza place food) is rather refined, it is not sausage and peppers at a place that puts pasta on a crust. Sorry! I find it unfortunate that many people do not know what real Italian food is.

Tried the pizza from here last night. Just a plain pie. Not bad, but not good either. The sauce and crust were very bland and a little too chewy. Like I said, not bad it's just kinda there. Nothing to make me want to go back for pizza. I'll stick with Gabby's.

Had a plan pie yesterday for lunch. Sauce was good, not high on garlic but reasonable oregano and seasonings. Crust was OK and it held up to the "drooping tip" test. Thin but not extra thin. I'll be back to try some toppings and maybe a sandwich or two.

Looked like Sunny Days was quite happy with their delivery. ;-)

Just because it isn't a sit down luxurious restaurant, doesn't mean they make bad pizza. Anyone from the Dover area can contest to that as M&S pizza on R 46 has been there since the 1970's and still going strong. Small, no bathroom, 4 people built in seating tables, maybe around 6-8 tables and looks like a hole in the wall. But wouldn't trade it for the world. this is Hackettstown, be proud of your community.
Hackettstown Strong!


M&S pizza is soooooooo good!

Re: Davila's Pizza & Restaurant

The Grandma's pie @Pezzo Pizza II in Long Valley is fabulous! It's more like a thin crust margarita but they will make it any way you want. The crust is fantastic!


I've been to davilas many times it's always been great. Ya that sounds like something a person shilling for their own would say. I don't like Nona pies but that looks good. Try to troll better.

Yup totally work there. Not just saying the obvious. Thanks womanupson you fixed my disability and got me a job! Honestly why not start a new thread bout the pizza they ate at pezzo instead of reviving a 3 month old thread?
