Pizza Vita

Great fresh and flavorful tartufo pizza from the wood fire oven pizza truck. The crust is so fresh and good! Will have to travel to the restaurant for more!

These guys come out in their food truck in 90 degree weather to the office I was visiting on a work trip. They had a rough start with some wet wood, but powered through and sweat a bunch. I didn’t mind the wait, and the pizza was incredible. Great crust and char. The flavors were amazing. I highly recommend it.

Owner Rocco Flores is a gem. We often order their Two for Tuesday pizza special when we don’t feel like cooking. There’s more than pizza here, though. Last night we attended their Pasta-Wine Pairing pre-Valentine’s Dinner. Fresh pasta dishes were delicious and creative; the wine pairings were fabulous and thoughtful. We love Pizza Vita’s connection to the community and their creative spin which use fresh ingredients (& local when available—menu changes with seasonal specials). If you see one of their pizza trucks at an event, try them. Better yet, come to Summit and experience their cozy BYOB restaurant’s full menu.

I hired the Pizza Vita truck for a party. They were fantastic. Even in terrible weather, the team arrived early, set up a great display, were super friendly with our guests & the food... Wow! It was so, so good! The guests loved getting to pick their own pie and watch it made in front of them. I appreciated that they had gluten free options for the few guests that needed it. My personal favorite was the "drunken" vodka pie! I can't wait to have them back and definitely recommend Pizza Vita catering!

We are Pizza Vita fans. Experience - the online ordering is easy enough. Service - the delivery service is good. Food - the pizza is very good, one of the better pizzas in Summit. Salads and pastas are very good as well. We like that it is all prepared with fresh ingredients. Overall, given the food quality, the value is good. Update I’m updating my review, from 5-stars to 3-stars, after a “cold” pizza delivery.

The food was amazing and the service was perfect. Loved the pizza and calamari. Will definitely come back again whenever I am Summit. Definitely recommend it.

I have had the pizza truck at both a private event at my home, and at a school event through the PTO. At both events, I have gotten SUCH positive feedback - both for the pizza (the best in my and many other's opinions!) and for the friendliness of the staff. Even though it is made to order, they are so efficient and have such a great system, no one is waiting for an excessive amount of time for their fresh hot pizza!! Other people were very impressed with their gluten free options too. I can't say enough good things.

So good!! Got the drunken pizza with ricotta

They had a stand at the summit Farmers market, pizza in 90 seconds, it was actually quite good, very crisp and not overcooked for the dough, and the margarita pizza was very balanced and tasty with fresh basil and mozzarella and tomato sauce. Definitely enjoyed the pizza, personal sized for $13; cash only.

One of my favorite places is Pizza vita ! The vibes are always up and the food is absolutely delicious! The staff always checks up on you to make sure your satisfaction meets their service standards !

Great Neapolitan pizza, fluffy and light dough, great ingredients. Good variety of specialty pizzas

We have ordered take out from here a few times. Finally we were able to eat dinner here, outside. The staff is very friendly. For the outdoor dining, you use the QR code to order and pay on your phone and then they bring the food out to you. We did have to wait quite a bit for water. We ordered the buffalo cauliflower - delicious, spicy! We also ordered the eggplant meatballs - delicious, my favorite! For the first time we ordered the veggie Jackson pizza - kale, eggplant, mushrooms, caramelized onions, fresh homemade mozzarella, truffle oil - did not like it, wouldn't order it again. It was dry and underdelivered on flavor. Will be back - I love the eggplant meatballs and buffalo cauliflower! Maybe ill try the margherita pizza (however I really like Zappia's for pizza).

October 8, 2020 - I give Pizza Vita three stars because of the lack of customer service! Pizza Vita would not allow my friend and I to order at the computer, but we had to order from our phones. Additionally, the Two Way Calamari should be called the One Way Calamari and the way should be down. The Pizza, however, was delicious!

Artisan pizza that is weak at best more like bread with tomato sauce. Asked for well done twice and didn't hit the mark. Grandma pie is not a traditional that you would get anywhere else. Service excellent but pizza misses the mark by alot. Sorry.

I enjoyed an early dinner with my daughter and son-in-law last night which was very good. Ordering was quick and easy using their app and the food came out hot and fast. We enjoyed a Grandma and a Bee Sting pizza and 2 salads. We all agree that the Bee Sting could have used more hot honey, but that said both pies were very tasty. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the interior was open, bright, and clean. We'll be back to try more varieties.

This place had a really cute ambiance while we were walking by! Outdoor seating and lights with a man playing some acoustic guitar tunes, made the for the perfect atmosphere on a warm fall night. It took us a while to get seated, they seemed pretty busy but the food was really good! Mushroom truffle pizza I got (fungi?) had amazing flavors and the dough tasted fresh! It was a little soggy in the middle areas- thin crust with the weight of the toppings did not fare well but we still gobbled that down very quickly and it was delicious! Fresh mozzarella added a very nice touch as well as the truffle oil. The cauliflower gnocchi was the definition of comfort food! Soft and pillowy gnocchis with a light balsamic type sauce on it. So good! I do want to come back here and try the drunken pizzas, they seem to have great reviews!

Consistently good pizza. Love their marinara, it's perfectly balanced with the right acidity and not sweet!

I love this place! My favorite is the drunken grandma. They have great desserts and really good pizza! It's amazing! I definitely recommend coming. The pizza is made in about 2 minutes! It still tastes great and not rushed!

We have eaten here a few times, both in person and for takeout. We love the spicy cauliflower appetizer and the eggplant meatball appetizer. Their salads are also good. The pizza wasn't our favorite however when we had it. The flavors just seemed a bit lackluster when we tried it. Maybe we caught them on an off day as we always see people walking out with pizza takeout orders when we go by there, so it is pretty popular. There are a lot of other pizza places nearby that we like more, but I would give it another shot.

Sunday night hanging out around summit area. This restaurant has plenty of outdoor dining area. Craving for pizza. We requested pizza with mushroom and arugula as topping. Goodness pasta is yummy as well. We will be back again.

Amazing pizza! I love the margarita and it's amazing with whole wheat also. They have great pastas as well. This is an amazing place with servers who are so nice! This is also very family friendly. Highly recommend!!

Stopped by for dinner since we were passing through and I was in the mood for pizza we figured we try a new place out. After looking over the menu we went with a Drunken Pizza- Vodka sauce, ricotta, fresh mozzarella, and basil and a Fun Guy- Mushrooms, Bufala mozzarella, and truffle oil $14 each. We shared the pizzas and they were both very good. I would have just preferred the crust to be a little more crisp. But I really enjoyed the flavor of the vodka sauce and the mushrooms with the truffle oil were a great combination. Even though they are meant to be single serving pizzas we still brought home 5 slices which were still quite tasty heated in the toaster oven. The service was great as well and I recommend paying them a visit.

Im usually here for take out lunch. The personal pots are plenty of food for lunch. Parking could be challenging but it's doable. The restaurant is quaint. I'd love to come for dinner one night but it's such a hike from my house. For now I'll stick to lunches. For more delicious places around nj follow me on Instagram @foodtourwithlaur

The person at the frontdesk wasn't polite. Then after she gave us the wrong order and we called from home to express our unhappiness and if we could get a refund, she refused and was pretty rude. We had asked for a regular cheese pizza, and she literally handed us a pizza base with just cheese on it (no tomato base at all,lol)!

A more modern place in summit with a clean feel. When we came in late (around 8pm) there was no one else around but the waiter still seated us promptly. The pizza was definitely fresh made as we saw them toss the dough in the back right after the order. The crust was quite crisp though it was very thin in the middle and much thicker at the edges. The vodka sauce of the drunken pizza was an amazing touch. I the grandma pizza was alright but the meatball was not the best I've ever had. However, the service was mediocre as she did not come back to fill my water once that night. Also, my one personal pizza ended up adding up to around $20 which is a bit more than I had expected.

Good pizza but TERRIBLE customer service. I gave them several chances, but these were my last 3 experiences: 1) Refused to sit me on a Friday at 7:35pm (close time is 8pm). 2) Didn't honor an offer they had on their own online ordering platform (2 pizzas for price of 1 - made us pay for the second pie when we got there to pick up) 3) Messed up the order and argued with me about it All 3 times staff was rude. By the way, I used to love this place and was a weekly loyal customer. They used to have good food and great service. I don't know if they changed management or what happened, but I am definitely done with this place.

Tried 3 pizzas today... The toppings were deplorable ... the mozzarella was cubed in tiny pieces,, mushroom was chopped in tiny pieces and the pizza with the hot peppers was ridiculous ( out of a jar and thrown on the pizza ) ! They should be ashamed of themselves ! Their pizza is an insult to Neopolitans!

Arrived 20 minutes before closing but kitchen couldn't take order. That's what you get she high school kids run the town. #neveragain

Service is okay... if you are looking for good gluten free pizza with vegan cheese.... keep moving if someone knows someplace with a decent gluten free vegan cheese pie please respond... This one was unholy. And stay away from the harvest saladd Inedible... the buffalo cauliflower ... which is not gluten free was delicious as were the roaster brussel sprouts which are gluten free.... memorable night with my kids... the company was excellent!

Came here on a Saturday since I was craving pizza. The pizza here is delicious! The crust is light and fluffy and flavorful. I added a balsamic drizzle to my pizza and wow that was a game changer ! The only thing I wish is that the pizza was a little more crispy, especially in the center. The slices fell apart in the middle.

I didn't get the chance to actually eat here because I was turned away at the door. The hours listed online say they are open until 10PM. When I walked in at 9:05PM I was told the kitchen was closed, despite there being customers sitting down waiting their food to come. False advertising on their end. If you're open until 10, that means you can serve your customers til then. Very unprofessional.

I love this place! Pizza is thin-crust, baked in a super-hot brick oven, so it has a delicate crunch. Toppings are so creative, fresh and tasty, never heavy with grease. Names are clever, too: e.g. "Drunken Grandma" is meatball with vodka sauce, "Fun Guy" is mushroom (fungi, get it?). Specials vary by season, and are always interesting combinations that are worth a try. We cry every year when fresh corn is gone, and with it our favorite "Maize" pizza. Appetizers: A must! "Balsamico" is the only calamari I will eat any more--cannot be beat! Grilled vegetables--mmm! Sharing plate--yes, we will! I love to see what new salads they'll come up with, based on what's in season. They're really nice about making substitutions, too, say, when we arrive with an arugula-hater or a vegetarian in our party. Don't even get me started on desserts. Or pasta. Foodie-snobs to picky little kids are all equally happy with their reasonably priced meals.

Great pizza! Third time coming here. Decided to order some pizzas to pick up for Two-For-Tuesday tonight (Buy 2 pizzas for the price of one). We ordered the Broccoli Rabe pizza and a Drunken Grandma pizza. Came to pick it up since they don't deliver, and they were packed as usual! Brought the pizza home and it was delicious! They forgot to cut the broccoli rabe pizza but it was still really good. The center of the pizzas were definitely a little softer and not as crispy as the outsides, but that seems to be typical of their pizza. Cute inside also, and it's byob which is always great. Can't beat the Tuesday deal! Will be back!

Worst service. Worst salad. Worst quality. Not sure how a restaurant like that is surviving in such a beautiful town. I'm very disappointed After trying to put in an online order and it did not work, I called and the girl on the phone told me "sorry, we don't take phone call orders. you have to go online. just refresh the page" once figuring that out (on my own) I walked in and out if the 15 people behind the counter, not one acknowledged me. After 4 minutes of standing there while they socialized, another man walked in who finally gave me my order that was sitting there the entire time. and the food was awful to boot

The pizza here is disappointing, especially for the price they charged. The only sell personal sized pizzas, starting at $13 each, and the ingredients are sparse. The center of the pizza was soggy, and some areas of the crust were charred, which killed the taste even more. We ordered 5 for lunch, and all were similar: a bit soggy, not quite hot enough, and a bit charred.

Yum...our Tuesday night visit remained consistent. Split burrata salad and 2 pizzas. Very good Regina and melanzana...a new one for me. The latter had creamy rich fresh ricotta, caramelized onions, thin fried breaded eggplant, crushed tomatoes and mozzarella. Yum. Oops, I already said that. .. As usual, service was excellent. ;))) Word of caution. ..yes, I love crispy pizza. Note that the end of the crust is crispy, but as you eat the center part, one could describe it as soft or even soggy. If you don't enjoy that, this pizza is probably not for you.

i called to order and they won't take orders over the phone.Have to go online. I had issues online with my Password and they still wouldn't take my 'voice' order. Great for business.

Two for Tuesday is the best day of the week!! Love their fun guy (mushroom) pizza, I usually ask to add sauce to it. They have great calamari and meatballs. Their homemade cheese is delicious

I go to pizza vita because it is the closest Iv had to a legit Italian styled pizza from Napoli. looking at some of the passed reviews I see people commenting on being too soggy, pizza vita may have a bit more sog in the center then Napoli pizza but it's really not that far off and I guess it just boils down to personal preference on how you like your pizza made. I would like to add that the fried zucchini is amazing! The dip along with it is mouthwatering I can gulp it all up. Soda is straight from a can and your cup is full of ice, Always cold and bubbly just how I like it. we always get a really nice young lady serving us and she's delightful! -

This place was a god send last weekend. I was craving artisan pizza but my usual place had a 2 hour wait.. which is why i ended up here. BYOB with a cute bright seating area. I ordered the grandma pizza and the antipasto appetizer. Both were awesome! The crust was puffy and crispy on the outside. The antipasto came with a fresh baked flatbread and the burrata cheese was the best part.

A little taste of Italy!! Incredible, incredible pizza! I can sit here and talk all day about the dough and how it reminded of me of my trip to Florence! Will be my "go to" place when I'm in the mood for really good pizza (this says a lot, being that my favorite food is pizza)! Excellent service, highly recommended!

The pizza is delicious! The service is disgusting. The receptionist/cashier (long black hair in a braided ponytail) was very rude when i came in and ordered a pizza to go. Her attitude was nasty for one. She became annoyed by me asking for balsamic vinaigrette. She snatched my debit card out of my hand. Then wraps the receipt around my card and puts my card on the counter. When my pizza was finished she slams the pizza box & cup of balsamic on the counter and walked off. I didn't get a thank you for your business, here you go, Is everything okay? NOTHING! This being a predominantly caucasian town you can definitely feel the racial profiling and discrimination when at many of these restaurants. Unacceptable! I will NEVER return again

Wow we were so disappointed. Especially now with restaurant business down all establishments should be on their A game. Mushy pizza after asking for it extra crispy. No goat cheese in their $9.00 salad and was given a time to pick up and they said sorry running 20 mins behind. We live 3 mins away and the Pizza was cold when we got home so obviously it sat there.. We will not return. Too many other places to spend our money at.

A lot left to be desired. We decided to check this place out based on its decor and curb appeal. We ordered a simple pizza, and were essentially served a flat pita-tasting crust with some sauce and 3 (yes, three) small pieces of mozzarella. The owner and staff seemed friendly enough, but there's far better options for the price nearby.

Very good Pizza, balsamic calamari, and vegan pasta bowl..I will definitely go back. A small casual pizza place that's clean with good food.

Fan-tas-tic!!!! Same owners as Honey Browns (which I absolutely loved) I wasn't sure (despite the different food style) the new place would be able to live up to it's predecessor. It did and even went up a notch as well. :-) The totally redone restaurant has a great new decor...and...wood burning oven to boot. Pizza is cooked in 90 seconds. The food is prepared fresh. The ingredients are from the motherland, Italy (at least the oils and cheeses). The 3 most important qualities in a restaurant were exceeded! Service, A +. Food, A++ and Price, A. It's Summit so the prices are on par with the area. The food, holy wow it was outstanding. Started with the cold anitpasto which had an assortment of cheese and meats...the mozz with ricotta inside was moutwatering awesome! The meats, cheeses, olives, artichokes...yummy! Had their 4 cheese pizza which was the best I have had in Jersey. On par with Frank Pepe's in CT. The 4 different cheeses went so well together. Their dough was superb. Doughy crust, thin pizza. Pie's are 9" and they do not sell by the slice. This is not a pizzeria, it's a classy brick oven restaurant. :-) Service was attentive, quick and friendly. I had the same waitress at HB's and she was excellent once again. I recommend going here even if you need to go out of your way. It's a BYOB which saves you a bunch of cash. It's a medium size place and gets busy. What are you waiting for...GO NOW! ENJOY!

#CrustFail they served us undercooked pies. Four of 'em, raw dough still visible on the sides of every crust, unpleasantly soft, slimy and limp in the middle despite some notable char on the bottom, ouch. My teenager said it was like eating a donut. :( I think the pizzaiolo who was working the oven the evening of Tues, 5 August needs a WHOLE LOT more training. So it was Not A-OK, it was meh in the end, argh. Unbelievable that a wood-fired oven turned out these mushy pizzas, because buffalo mozzarella cheese this creamy, pepperoni this thin and yummy, meatball slices this juicy, cherry tomatoes this ripe, mushrooms this flavorful -- in short, toppings this fine deserve 5-star pizza crust. The meat toppings truly are outstanding, none of those standard round pepperoni slices, these look sliced in house and were extraordinarily tasty. Service? Friendly and working hard, A-OK. Oh except when we asked why the pizzas weren't quite done in the middle she sorta said "oh yeah..." Noise level? Somewhere between loud and intolerable, speak up sonny I can't hear you. Prices? About $15 for a personal pie, that's a little spendy but for a properly baked pie, well it's Summit, nobody cares about money. For an underdone pie that price is criminal. Vegetarian rating: 4 stars because of the many veg pie and pasta choices, you can do very well here. If you're not local, please note that parking in Summit can be a scr3aming b!tch so leave time for the hunt, bring money, etc., and just don't let it rattle your cage. The buy-one get-one deal on Tuesday evenings brings the price well within reason. Did they undercook the pies because they knew everything was half off? Uh I hope not. BYO. Foolishly I did not.

I walked in and was immediately met with one too many religious relics. I mean not only was their a giant cross next to the front door, there was a Jesus fish ON the cross....awkward. My friend was raving about this pizza, and said they were really quick so we went to grab a bite on a Monday and there was about 10 other people in the restaurant- so not dead. What was disappointing is that the middle of the pie was soggy. Towards the crust was nice and crispy and the crust was doughy but cooked at the same time. But a soggy middle, and liquid under my pizza is unacceptable in a place that has Pizza in their name. The pleasant surprise was the speck of prosciutto on top. I was disappointed with the price. Most pies were $15+ and fairly small pies. I just kept thinking I could go to Arturos and get a better pizza for less, but it is what it is. You live, you learn.

Tuesday night is 2 for one pizza night. No wonder they were packed. Their dough is more of a pita consistency... Different which I like with the salad toppings. BYOB. Service was great until when I showed them the free gelato yelp check in deal and they refused to give it to me. One waiter bluntly told me NO! The other one was a little bit more civilized and told me she will speak with the owner. It's been two days and the deal is still posted here. It's bogus.

Overpriced, undercooked, in-eatable, bland (pizza). The staff is so incredibly arrogant; no regard for the customer. Hard to understand how they get away with it when much better service and food is readily available in town. Even the 7/11 has friendlier staff and better pizza. COVID is difficult for all of us. Some businesses will fail. Some definitely should.

I'M YELPING AGAIN I'M YELPING AGAIN That might be the worst sentence ever written, but after a year plus away from writing reviews, I'm going to try to come back. So, I figured I'd start with a place I've been going to WAY too often since I've been away. Pizza Vita is owned by the same group that runs Bona Vita Osteria down the street. There aren't really good all pizza places nearby so I was looking forward to this place, and it has not let me down in the slightest. First things first, Neapolitan pizza is kind of soggy in the middle. I saw the No Reservations where Anthony Bourdain had pizza, in Naples. The crust was kind of soggy in the middle. If you like really crispy thin crust pizza, you're welcome to like that, but you don't really like Neapolitan pizza. If I look at the toppings on a pizza on the menu, and I like them, I'll like it here. So I'm not going to go through the full menu. Pasta portions are hearty and that is always good too (the meatballs are excellent). Desserts are good too, I love the homemade gelatos they have all the time. And the coconut cream pie has been a staple at their restaurants for as long as I can remember and it's always been good. Is it a little more expensive than your typical pizza place? Sure. but you're also getting a better experience with much better ingredients than your typical pizza place too. Plus I'm always bringing home leftovers. The pizzas are probably not enough for two but a little too much for one. I also like getting the salads with flat bread underneath or the D'Tavola appetizer (meats, cheeses and vegetables) as a main course sometimes. Outdoor seating, BYOB Some notes: on Tuesday nights it can get a little busy for 2 for 1 pizza night. And it's a place that locals bring their kids as well, so if you want a quiet night out, I'd wait until a little later in the evening to stop by. But stop by.

Ordered Grandma Pizza was good but not what we expected. $17 gets you an individual size pizza. Not enough for two people. Barely enough for a guy. Cauliflower salad also good, average appetizer size.

Great location, clean and spacious. Attentive service and good pizza. You could clearly see that the ingredients were fresh so it was the quality of the pizza.

Really good after a long car ride. Crust could have been a little more crispy in the middle. I would It difficult to pick up the pizza at times. It had good flavor but the cheese could have been melted a little more.

Soggy mush, I think they steamed the pie! This is like my third time coming here and absolutely 100% the last! In the beginning it was a decent pie they've gone downhill very fast very quick! Go to Arturo's in Maplewood for a great Neopolitan style pie. Picked up the slice and the mozz fell off, at least I didn't need water with it, I just drank the pie. Go to FaceBook Jersey Joints for great food in NJ!

Great location, spacious, variety in the menu. We tried the peach salad and chicken sandwich wow! Fresh, juicy. Great :)

Popped in for a birthday dinner with my Aunt. Great overall dining experience. Ordered an appetizer that came with a large piece of flatbread and about 3 pounds of high quality antipasto. Food like that is a sure way to win me over. Pizza is original and excellent. Great service.
