The food tasted delicious and fresh. I pleasantly satisfied with how fulfilling it was. The temakis are wonderfully balanced with texture and flavor. But unfortunately, much like any other good restaurant in Montclair, I couldn’t enjoy one single glass of wine, which was disappointing.

Enjoyed the restaurant. Ambiance was great and cozy. Food was delicious and service was superb. My only criticism is that they didn’t have the fillet so I ordered rib eye, which turned out just fine. Happens. Other than that, would highly recommend.

Food was very good during both recent visits to Ah Pizz. Salads, Pizza and Chicken Parm were all very good and priced very reasonably. Considering how busy the restaurant gets especially during an evening when there is a Wellmont Theater event, the wait staff and hostesses are very friendly, calm and accommodating. Food was also brought to the table in a timely manner.
