Aquila Pizza Al Forno

Aquila Pizza Al Forno in Little Falls is such a hidden gem! Their hand-shaped, personal-sized pizzas are cooked in a 900° wood-burning oven and what really makes this place special is that everything is cooked in that same oven, not just the pizza. The wings, meatballs, and even the chicken for the Caesar salad all come out perfectly smoky and flavorful. The cozy atmosphere and BYOB setup make it the perfect spot for a relaxed night out. Highly recommend!

Good people creating great pizza! This place is a hidden gem and absolutely delivers the best pizza in New Jersey. The crust is perfectly blistered, toppings are fresh (shoutout to the mushrooms and pepperoni combo), and everything is balanced with just the right touch of char. Paired with a glass of Pinot Noir, (BYOB) - it’s next-level. Cozy vibes, friendly staff, and a clear passion for the art of pizza! Highly recommended!

Very small but one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had! Long hot peppers are always ridiculously hot! One of my favorite meatballs too. Highly recommend!!

UPDATE. Oh dear! There’s a new pizziola making pies now on Saturdays. Apparently the owner trained him, but not well enough! The dough was raw (yes, raw) the toppings were excessive (literally the entire top of the pizza slid off when picked up) and the pizzas overall lacked the usual exceptional flavor. Go on a Friday when the owner is working the oven!!! Old review- Believe the hype! Tiny menu, big flavor. This is true Neapolitan pizza. Notoriously hard to get into… because they’re never open! Always get the daily special- it may sound weird, but trust me, whatever it is it will be fantastic. BYO. Zzz
