Conte's Pizza In Pr - Wyanett

Very great food and amazing staff who are constantly ready to help.

I’ve heard about this place for years. Rave reviews, local media. We even tried to get in here one time on Saturday and there was a multiple-hour wait. It must be amazing. Right? My wife and I finally got to try it. We were excited. It was delightfully old-school. The decor is dark and dingy, not updated since Eisenhower was in the White House. Okay, we thought, legions of fans can’t be wrong. Especially in a first-rank food town like Princeton. My wife had the small plain pizza and I had the pepperoni. Our check was $36 for lunch amid dumpy surroundings. What a rip-off. Let’s just say we were underwhelmed with the actual pizza, especially at this ridiculous price point. As other reviewers have noted, the crust was BLAND. No flavor whatsoever. Cardboard. Why do people return to eat here? Again, I went in with a positive attitude, embracing their old school aesthetic and attitude. How does a place like this achieve legend status? How does it even stay in business, let alone be a gold mine?

This is the worst pizza I've ever eaten. An insult to a great casual food. All over Italy (Sicily, Rome, Venice, Florence, Naples the Amalfi Coast) Italians would laugh at this tasteless version. Flavorless, bland, boring. No herbs, not enough salt in the sauce. Few toppings choices, all boring. Crust was overcooked, thin hard, crunchy like crackers. You could break a tooth! Two small pizzas, one glass of wine, one beer $63. Glad we didn't order salad, which is iceberg lettuce onions. Restaurant dark, loud, 3 TV screens, plastic plates, paper napkins. Restaurant in business for over 74 years with THE SAME MENU and INGREDIENTS (they proudly proclaim). Huh? In 74 years generations of Italians Italian food lovers (everyone) have added more than the pitifully few ingredients available to the Conte family in post WWII America of the 1950s. Prosciutto? Eggplant? Arugula? Asiago? Fontina? Broccoli rabe? Basil? Balsamic? Pecorino? San Marzano tomatoes? Capers? None in Conte's. Go instead to Proof, Tino's, or Teresa's for healthier, interesting, delicious pizzas real salads...with real ingredients. This food is an insult to the glories of real Italian food, and pizza all over Italy all northeast America. Don't waste your time or money at Conte's.

Great pizza! But closed on Labor Day. Call before you go if it's a major holiday. The hours are not adjusted on Google Maps.

A very bland and greasy Drove 2 hours because of Portnoy's review.
