Avellino's Pizzeria Sports - Dunellen

Great food and even better people. The owner is a such a hard worker and good always tastes great. Proud of this restaurant!

Food is excellent! The pizza is amazing! The owner and staff always go above and beyond for everyone! The owner even discounted all his prices during covid to help everyone out.Very friendly atmosphere! Highly recommended!

I don't know what happened to this restaurant. As local Dunellen residents we used to visit often especially on Mondays for their half price pasta dishes. Last time we came, just before covid, the penne vodka was watery but we figured we just cought them on a bad night. Tonight, after I checked the website and saw their dine-in only, half price pasta still advertised, we thought we'd go back. What a let down. The pasta is clearly pre-cooked and then re-cooked so it's overdone. The chicken is no longer crumbed like it used to be, instead just plain chicken bits that taste like they're seasoned to go on a sub sandwich. No way do I expect fine Italian dining here, but I wish the basics of rich flavor and well cooked pasta would at least be there. Our waiter was great, he kept our drinks filled and brought us several servings of their crunchy garlic bread ? Lastly, we had to argue with the owner about the bill since they no longer have the half price pasta, eventhough it's still on their main page on the website (their website guy aparently hasn't replied to them in over 2 years). Take away pizza on Wednesday is still a good deal, but as far as an Italian pasta dish goes, $17 for overcooked pasta and dry chicken, which by the way is still being served on paper plates, just isn't worth it.

If you are looking for no-nonsense pizza and a Jersey Italian menu, look no further. This fits all the expected checks for a straight forward pizza joint. Their pizza deals on Wednesday are the best.

Since moving here from NYC, I've found this pizzeria to be the only place that serves authentic wings and pizza that really tastes like New York pizza! The prices are great too! I just ordered a chicken pizza and wings through DoorDash, and they were delicious. Highly recommended!
