Taormina

Taromina Pizza in Paterson absolutely hits the spot! The cheese is just right, not too greasy and the crust? Perfection. Cooked to that ideal crisp without being overdone. I especially appreciate the sauce; it’s smooth and flavorful without that overpowering tang some places lean into. Every bite feels balanced and satisfying. My only gripe is the wait time. When I call in, I’m usually told 25 minutes, but realistically it’s closer to 35–45 mins. That being said, I keep coming back because it’s definitely worth the wait. If you’re craving pizza that nails the fundamentals, Taromina delivers!

Taormina absolutely delivered. I tried the spinach wrap and a penne vodka slice with grilled chicken, and both were amazing. The flavors were on point, the chicken was perfectly grilled, and the penne vodka had that rich, creamy sauce you crave. And let’s talk about the cheese pull — unreal. Gooey, stretchy, and exactly how great pizza should be. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to when I want something satisfying and delicious. Highly recommend! 🍕🧀

I get pizza here sometimes, but I had never tried a pasta, today I did, and it is amazing!!! I just couldn't believe it, everything was cooked to perfection and of course,the flavor is incredible. I highly recommend this little hidden gem here in Paterson.

I’m have been getting pizza here since my childhood. Hadn’t been in a while so decided to stop in for a slice. Still decently priced considering the economy. Got one plain slice and took it to go. Good service has always been my experience even when they are busy. There is space to sit inside. Has a small parking lot and there is street parking.

Prefer frozen pizza instead this place. Pizza cheese extremely chewy. Chew chew chew like bubble gum. So stringy was afraid would choke on it. Not melted felt nautous. Seems like slabs cheese instead shredded cheese. Pizza has screen marks. Amateur way cook pizza. Slice is smaller than a paper plate. Place was extremely Hot inside. Couldn't wait to get out. Poor fluorescent lighting and paneling. Would not go back again.
