About us

A cozy corner of Italy on West Market St

Cesare's Kitchen is a small, spotless takeout restaurant where classic Italian comfort food meets a modern touch. Every dish is crafted from fresh, high-quality ingredients — from slow-simmered sauces to hand-tossed pizza straight from the oven.

Watch the chefs work from one of two front-row tables, or take the feast home. Warm earthy tones, soft lighting and a genuinely friendly crew make every visit feel like dinner at a relative's house.

Dough tossed daily

Cesare stretches every pie by hand and seasons it the old-school way — the crust NJ critics rave about.

Gluten-free options

Some gluten free options available, such as cauliflower crust pizza with a variety of toppings, gluten free wraps and gluten free stuffed shells.

"Hands-down one of the best local spots around! Their pizza is always fresh, delicious, and loaded with flavor — you can really taste the quality in every bite. The staff is absolutely awesome: super friendly, welcoming, and always go above and beyond to make you feel at home."

"My husband said the Italian Stromboli was one of the best he's ever had. My margherita mini pie was the perfect size and pure perfection — I had to have a bite as soon as I picked it up before I drove away. We will definitely be returning customers!"

"The litmus test for me is always a pepperoni pizza — and Cesare's is spectacular. I'm a big pizza critic from NJ and almost never satisfied around here, but this place gets it. Cesare tosses the dough himself, the crust is so good, and everyone is actively friendly. Takeout only, but there are two tiny tables, gluten-free options, and it's cheaper to pay cash."

"Probably the best pizza I have ever had!! We heard this place was famous — sometimes they even run out of food. We were visiting from Florida and had to try it. The place was very clean, the service was on point, and the pizza was so good we ordered one to go!"

"Absolutely amazing. I have a gluten allergy — my bunless cheesesteak with onions, peppers and mushrooms was amazing. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the restaurant is so clean. You're right up front to see the pizza toss."
