Lido Restaurant

It's hard to believe it's been at least 50 years that I've been eating this wonderful pizza and other items on the menu. This particular visit the pizza was positively the best ever. How do they do it?

Voted the best old school restaurant in NJ the last 5 years by NJ.com. It’s like stepping back to the 50s. Really unique restaurant that even has a jukebox. The music is fitting and all circa 1950s. We had a late lunch. My eggplant parmigiana was delicious as was the thin crust pizza. Street parking can be a little difficult and you may have to walk a block or two. Great service and reasonable prices.

Nice old fashioned restaurant with tasty thin crust pizzas and cold draft beer. Pizza, mozzarella sticks, and garlic bread were very good, though the mushroom topping was flavorless and tasted like they came out of a can. Will skip mushroom next time I go.

My boyfriend and I went for dinner here on a Saturday evening. This was our first time at the restaurant. The pizza was absolutely amazing. Dave Portnoy voted 8.1. In our opinion it is a 9.1. The sauce/cheese ratio is perfect. What is the best is how thin this pie is. The photos show how thin it is. Our server Joanne was so sweet and very accommodating. We had a very nice dining experience! The only thing I would suggest to management is to use fresh sliced mushrooms and not canned mushrooms. It is a whole different thing! The canned ones have a different texture (slimy & rubbery) Fresh is best especially with your name attached. We will definitely be back!! Edit August 2025: Came back for my boyfriend’s birthday and Joanne was our server again. Great service! (Still no fresh mushrooms lol)

A group of friends and I visited on a packed Friday evening, and as always, the food and service were outstanding. Our waitress was attentive, checking in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. We started with the Buffalo Chicken and Meatlover pies – both were fantastic and highly recommended! Their thin-crust pizza truly lives up to its 8.1 Barstool rating. Next came the soups, and the French Onion was incredible – enough said. For my entrée, I had the Chicken Parm with vodka sauce over spaghetti. The sauce was perfectly cooked, the pasta was al dente, and the chicken was breaded to perfection. If you're in the Hackensack area, Lido is a must-visit!

Great to go back in time at Lido's. Pizza is excellent thin crust and sauce is very good. American style overcooked pasta if you are looking for the classic spaghetti and meatballs.

Was extremely disappointed on Wednesday night with our order. We have eaten in this restaurant dozens of times and never had a problem. Ordered our food to go and picked it up around 3:30 pm. Had a large pie half pepperoni and the chicken fingers platter. The pizza was lukewarm. But the chicken tenders and French fries were ice cold. Had to be the worst dinner ever. Probably won't be ordering takeout from there again.

Retro decor, with all vinyl quilted booth seating, appears to be original circa 1960. Very dimly lit and therefore somewhat cozy. Pizza is great thin crust style. Sliced steak sandwich is their specialty although tonight I had the 7oz strip steak and it was good but not great. I thought the Manhattan clan chowder to be just okay with hardly any clams. I liked their Italian house salad dressing. Food came out quick but I had to remind the waitress for little things like sugar and then for steak sauce, which she never did deliver. In balance though it was a tasty meal. Bathrooms are still 1960 and need an upgrade. Even a wall mounted pay phone in the vestibule. When have you last seen one of those. Note: Cash only. Very little street parking.
