Friendly staff, great service and great food.
The wings were delicious and perfectly cooked,
The pizza here is really good, all ingredients are perfectly portioned not too much of anything, the sauce is great and the cheese fresh, cooked to our liking, well done, was so good! If you in the area and want a great pizza this is the spot, trust me you will not regret it. Enjoy!

I have been a Slice customer for quite awhile. I try new places often and also have my fave’s. So tonight I tried Davinci’s in Montclair. I will not be ordering from them again. I received a call about 20 minutes after the order was placed. They ran out of ham and couldn’t make an Italian sub. I asked if they could substitute Prosciutto or Cappicola. They don’t have that. So I asked him to just add extra salami and pepperoni. Ok he said. Then another call that they no longer have Paninis. I was told that Slice hadn’t updated the menu to reflect that. So I said ok can you just make it a sandwich then. Sure he said. And then, oh we also don’t have the dessert you want. So I chose something else. Well, finally after an hour and 15 minutes the food came. My sub had 3 pieces of salami and one piece of cheese. No oil & vinegar. It was basically bread & veggies. The penne vodka with chicken was undercooked pasta with 4 strips of grilled chicken. The mozzarella sticks weren’t even cooked through. I paid $85!! And I paid for a chicken panini & got a sandwich. And the Italian sub I got was ridiculous. I’ve NEVER had any problems with any other pizzeria on your site. I just wanted someone to know.

One of the best $6.25 I have spent on a half sub. Taste 9/10 freshness 9.5/10 and the service was fast and super friendly. Plenty of parking and clean floors/tables

Boy, has this place gone downhill. I hadn’t been here for several years (not for any particular reason, just never in the area when I was hungry), but I had a positive opinion of it as an above average by the slice pizza joint. A bit overpriced for sure – I think each slice was about $4, which is almost twice as much as a Sicilian slice in Clifton – but decent margarita for what it was. Not anymore, which is really a shame.

I stopped by here for a quick lunch yesterday on an unseasonably toasty February afternoon. It was probably about 12:45pm and completely deserted. To be fair, they only had one table open for sit-down service, so it’s entirely possible that the carry-out business was booming. I ordered two margarita slices to stay, which were reheated and provided within a minute or so. Perfectly decent service in that regard.

The slices themselves were just not very good. The attached picture shows a surprisingly photogenic slice, in my opinion. You can tell though that the cheese is kind of hard and rubbery toward the top, and both slices managed to be both greasy (I had to mop them down with a napkin beforehand) and dry, likely because of the reheating. Have I had worse slices? Yes, but it doesn’t happen very often.

Beyond the actual pizza, there were a few things that just rubbed me the wrong way – and your mileage may vary on this. My understanding is that Montclair presently has a COVID mask mandate in place for all businesses. I’m pretty ambivalent about the masks; if a business requires it, I’ll respect their wishes and put one on, but if they don’t require it, I don’t wear it. I rarely get riled up about how businesses handle COVID, but when I approached the door to Da Vinci’s, there was not one, not two, but THREE signs stating that masks were required. Fair enough, point made, and I put my mask on before heading in. When I got into the restaurant though, none of the employees were wearing them, not even as chin straps. Given the sheer number of mask required signs, it came off as really hypocritical and just a bad look.

The other issue was the negativity coming from the guy behind the counter. He was perfectly friendly to me, but in the 90 seconds i was up there to get my slices, he managed to belittle a carry-out customer’s chicken parm order (rolling his eyes and commenting that the person didn’t want actual sauce on it) and criticizing the kids/teenagers that he expected to come by later in the afternoon after school (he said the reason that most of their tables weren’t open for sit-down was because those kids didn’t understand how to be responsible vis-a-vis social distancing). Both criticisms are valid in their own right, but I don’t think it’s a good look to badmouth your paying customers to other patrons.

I’m genuinely mystified that a place like this can stay open with so much competition in the immediate area. Needless to say, I’ll be going somewhere else next time I have a pizza craving.

The place is clean. You see people come in and out just the same for deliveries. Not a lot of people since we came on a rainy day but that did not stop the deliveries. We ordered the medium special pizza and couldn’t keep our hands off it. Highly recommend. Totally in love with the crust and the toppings were fresh.

The pizza here is stellar. Always has that authentic brick oven flavor and texture. Usually get Mushroom or Penne by the slice. Always cooked to perfection. Also, not a knock on the pizza, but try the Penne alla Vodka. Seriously the best in Jersey, their sauce is homemade and second to none. No one does it like Da Vinci’s.

Came in on a Saturday night at 8pm. Place is empty but every table is dirty. Margherita Pizza had zero flavor. Pandora station playing loud but buffering the entire time. Surprised because I saw alot of people here during the summer last year. Not sure if it’s under new management. The name on the business is Davincis now.

The pizza is fantastic. The dough is soft and chewy. The pizzas are truly brick oven and the Margherita was especially delicious.

The pizza is good, but the Sizes are always inconsistent. I shouldn’t have to ask for a bigger slice half the time

I was tempted to post a one-star review, after there was an annoying omission of the salad that we ordered.
But, the pizza was actually very good, so I can’t in good conscience post anything less than 3-stars. Maybe if the woman who eventually brought the salad didn’t demand that WE come outside to get it, my rating would have been higher. I mean really? YOU forgot to pack the salad, but WE have to go out in the cold to get it from you, as you warmly sit in your Mercedes?
I’ll stop there, since that type of action speaks for itself.
