Last summer, Hot From The Kettle visited Ah'Pizz, home of one of New Jersey's best Neopolitan Pizzas, to learn the secret to their Pizza Vera.
We are pleased to report that Ah'Pizz has recently expanded, adding an additional room for private parties, and a mozzarella bar.
Ah'Pizz is among the few Montclair restaurants to have expanded during a period marked by closings and empty storefronts. I asked owner of Ah'Pizz, Michael LaMorte, how that feels:
It’s a wonderful feeling. When I'm here, I go up to every table, and I’ve never had a complaint. We’re all about quality. It's a passion, not just a business - we really love it.
And the town has been great. Montclair has a lot of foodies, and we've had a great response from them.
The private room accomodates up to 42 people comfortably and Michael suggests booking a party a month in advance.
The menu for a private event is customizable, and pricing varies according to what a client orders. Family style parties average a very reasonable $24 per plate.
Ah'Pizz is a BYOB, off the street parking is available, and arrangements can be made to accomodate large parties.
