Houdini Pizza Laboratory - Fanwood

The food at this restaurant is consistently good. However, I recommend updating their hours of operation. They have their closing time listed as 10:00 pm, but when we arrived at 8:30 pm, we were asked to pay twice by two different waitresses while we were still eating (we were the last table at that point). I understand that everyone wants to go home early if possible, but just like they work for their pay, I work for mine in order to pay for our food and their tip. If they are going to rush customers out, they should update their hours of operation, stop seating people at a certain time, or train their staff to not rush paying customers.

The quality has definitely declined compared to three years ago. We were very disappointed with our experience. The calzone we ordered was extremely soggy and undercooked. Eating out is a rare treat for us, and it's frustrating to have to waste food. Additionally, we were surprised to be charged a credit card convenience fee when we paid cash.

The Napolitan wood-fired oven pizza at this restaurant is excellent. The service is nice and good. I returned again and it was still excellent with great quality and good service.

I ordered 3 pies and they were disappointing. Perhaps it needs more tomato sauce and lots more toppings? I am not sure but all I tasted was the cheese and the crust so overall salty. The service was excellent though.

Pizza was pretty good, not great, but not bad.. Service was good as well. Menu is very limited, with focus on the pizza. With that supposedly being the star of the show, it could be a little better. Price was a little high but not terrible. 2 bucks fora small side of sauce (maybe 3 or 4 oz) was a little surprising considering we ordered 3 pizzas. It's probably more of a 3.5star rating than a 4, but a 3 I think would be unfair.
