It's a chain that is supposed to replicate Chicago style pizza. On Mondays, they have half off personal pies. It's a great deal. The bartenders were very friendly. Veggie pie was good. They are accommodating if you are vegan gluten-free, etc. My friend got the burger with sweet potato fries and said it was good.

I absolutely love everything about this place. The food is incredible, especially if you have celiac disease - their fried calamari is better than most places and it's gluten free! They have a lot of other GF options that are hard to find elsewhere. I've eaten here three times and every host, waiter, and bartender has been incredibly professional, accommodating, and happy to help. The whole staff actually seems like they were professionally trained - a novel idea in 2024. It's also physically beautiful - colonial farmhouse look with some twists here and there. I love this place so much that I have it booked for my wedding next year.

Do not eat here if you have a food allergy. My sister ordered gluten free pancakes, and was given pancakes sprinkled with graham crackers crumbs. My sister didn’t realize there was gluten until it was too late, and ended up having a very painful reaction. The staff barely apologized, and even though they mistakenly served my sister an allergen they did not comp the pancakes from our bill or check in to make sure my sister was okay. It was not taken seriously, my sister is lucky that this was not a life threatening allergy.

This has always been my husband’s favorite pizza place, but it recently became mine when I discovered they make gluten free pizza pies to order with whatever toppings you like. It’s delicious! I love the fries too. The best I’ve had and I’ve tried a lot! The workers are also very friendly, helpful and professional. Great and comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommended!

There’s a special establishment where it always feels like summer even when there’s a forecast of the returned polar vortex winds. Located on Van Houten in Clifton, we were greeted upon entering the Love of Grub by the staff at this bright and colorful Key West-esque vibe, very relaxed and laid back as first-timers. With the music of Bertie Higgins “Key Largo” playing in the background, my partner and I got a table immediately. The interior featured a cozy, vintage charm with its rustic wooden furniture and an abundance of natural light streaming through the large front windows. Their menu serves breakfast, brunch, and lunch with vegetarian, keto-friendly, and gluten-free choices available upon request. We decided on the cheesesteak with a side of sweet potato fries and the chicken pesto wrap with a small garden salad. After trying multiple cheesesteaks in Jersey and NYC, this restaurant came out a winner with the right balance of mushrooms, onions, and peppers with real American cheese, not from out of a can. The chicken pesto wrap was equally delicious with the fresh homemade pesto grown from the owner’s garden. The food was exceptional; one could tell everything was made from scratch, like you were in your family's kitchen getting food made with love. We were able to exchange words with the owner/chef, Tracey. She definitely puts her heart and soul into every aspect of her business and is dedicated to providing customers with the tastiest, freshest food possible. She’s a remarkable woman who gives back to the community by cooking for Clifton's warming center for people experiencing homelessness. From the moment we walked through the door, the staff’s friendliness and welcoming smiles set the tone for a memorable meal. They were attentive and knowledgeable and made us feel right at home, especially our server, Galvan. The price was comparable to the area. This is one of those places where, if one were to ask the locals where they recommend eating, this would be on their list, which we can recommend.

Denise was my server and she was super friendly and attentive. I got the veggie burger on a gluten-free bun — always so good! It’s been a while since I’ve dined here, and I’m glad to see the food and service are still great.

Great food, but online ordering can be tricky and may lead to mix-ups; calling in your order is the safer bet!

The food was good..however. online ordering needs improvement. When you order not all charges are reflected ... For instance if order gluten free .cannot add anything to pizza...same for regular pepperoni pie...I added in special instructions...however was told I don't pay for it..because system couldn't handle...I ended up not getting correct order...I will say they tried to reach out...but I was too late. When I did call back I was told I was looking for free items...that was NOT the case. I wouldn't order online...but since food was good...would recommend calling in order.

Best food! First time ordering and I was beyond pleased with the food. It’s hard for me to find places that offer gluten free alternatives. The GF bread was tasty and I will absolutely be ordering again!!
