I recently tried two pies here, the Diablo and the Margherita, and both were absolutely delicious. The service was solid and the pizza came out great. It was actually my first time having seafood on a pizza, and I was genuinely surprised in the best way it tasted different from the usual, but it worked perfectly and I loved it. Overall, this isn’t your typical “common” pizza spot, and that’s exactly why I’ll be back. Highly recommend.

I was visiting my home town of Rahway NJ and stopped in for a bite to eat. Juan the owner made us feel so welcomed, and even joined us for a moment at the table. I cannot say enough good things about Il Forno a Legna. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is cozy and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for anything from a casual family dinner to a special celebration. We had the chicken Parmesan, which is rated in the top 21 for all of NJ, but we think they should be #1! We also had a couple of woodfire pizzas which were delicious.

The beef lasagna yummy, arancini delicious and vodka penne great. The server was nice and the restaurant had a quaint atmosphere. We took the cannolis to go. I would go back. If you are in the area check it out.

Ordered three brick oven pizza. First was plain my wife liked it, 2nd was margarita which was very good and third was the tri color with pesto,vodka and tomatoes which we really didn’t like. We sat outside on a beautiful day. Music was good but to loud and hard to talk. Overall good place.

Il Forno a Legna will always hold a special place in our hearts. We hosted our intimate wedding ceremony here, and from start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. Juan and Robert went above and beyond to make our BIG day unforgettable — all while working within our budget. The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service from the entire staff was exceptional. They made us feel like family and ensured every detail was just right. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to Juan, Robert, and your amazing team for making our wedding day more beautiful than we could have imagined.

If you’re craving authentic Italian flavors with a cozy, rustic atmosphere, this woodfire pizza restaurant is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the warm aroma of burning oak and freshly baked dough sets the tone for an unforgettable dining experience.
The star of the show is, of course, the wood-fired pizza. Each pie comes out of the brick oven perfectly blistered, with a crisp yet chewy crust that strikes the ideal balance between smoky and savory. The Margherita is beautifully simple—fresh mozzarella, vibrant tomato sauce, and fragrant basil—while their specialty pizzas are thoughtfully crafted with high-quality ingredients that truly shine.
Beyond the pizza, the menu offers classic Italian dishes that feel both comforting and refined. The house-made pasta is tender and flavorful, and the antipasti selection pairs wonderfully with a glass of Italian wine. The tiramisu is a must-try: light, creamy, and just sweet enough to end the meal on a high note.
Service is attentive without being intrusive, and the staff are knowledgeable about both the menu and wine pairings. Whether you’re out for a romantic dinner or a relaxed evening with friends, this restaurant delivers an experience that feels both authentic and welcoming.
Overall, it’s a place that celebrates traditional Italian cooking with heart and skill—and one you’ll want to return to again and again.

The delicious cheese stuffed meatball appetizer includes 3 large meatballs with Sunday gravy. A meal itself. The fried calamari is typical. The chicken francaise was good. Slightly uneven tastes. Tasted better The next day. The penne pasta with vodka saucd had added shrimp and chicken was good. Attentive service. Good atmosphere.

It was my first time here this past Sunday 05/18/25 and the pizza was good. However, it was not done enough for me. Our server Xavier was good. The atmosphere was great! It smelled like you were back in Italy, and the decor was relaxing. I would definitely go back! I would just ask for my pizza to be well done next time. They have a few parking spots in the rear. Otherwise, parking can be a bit annoying, as you have to find street parking when they are busy.

A great place for pizza. We ordered 2 different kind of pizza and eggplant appetizer and they were all delicious except for the regular pizza which was little salty. The other specialty pizza was very good. I definitely recommend this place for a good dining experience.
