El Greco Pizza

No frills pizzeria for sure. The restaurant is nothing to look at and the bathroom is absolutely disgusting. It looks very dirty and peaked my awareness in keeping my eyes open for unwanted critters. When asking for toilet paper for the restroom, I was met with the question of "there's no paper in there?"...uhh no, that's why I'm asking for some. There weren't enough rolls in the establishment to cover the toilet seat to even mildly invite me to sit down. My fiance and I have only eaten in-house once, it's not really my style to dine on lawn furniture, since the first time that we visited together we have only made pick up orders to eat back at home. Which brings me to why this is a 3 star rating given my negative feelings toward almost everything but their food....their pizza is mighty yummy. The crust is always crispy, always greasy, and not too much sauce. Their pizza tastes good cold the next day, which for me helps to divide the good from the not so good. Our typical order consists of a plain pie and an order of french fries so I can't speak much to the rest of the menu, but if you're looking for a good pie in the Maplewood/South Orange area, give El Greco's a try.

Actually, 3.5. Pizza is pretty tasty, but it was also a late night run. What's NOT tasty at 2 or am, right? Very lowkey for such a large space. No frills, just a good slice.

I have lived in Maplewood/South Orange since i was 12 years old went to the High School,my family still lives there even though i do not anymore etc etc. I love pizza and could eat it it every day in some shape or form. But if you are looking for GREAT pizza then El grecos is it. It kind a hole in the wall type place, not very flashy with bright signs and what not. It blends in to the surrounding neighborhood like i think most place should. Dont get me wrong, i like domino and other pizza establishments but when i get home from philly that is  automatically one of the first things i want to eat ...after my grandmothers cooking of course lol. If you decide to walk in they handle you order quickly and timely as it could be considering these are all hand made and not mass produced. This along with the aforementioned reasons add to the overall appeal of the both the place and pizza. So for whatever reason may have being in the area of Maplewood/ South Orange give El Grecos a shot. I am sure you will not be sorry...
