• Pizzeria • Montclair
Booked 14 times today
At Bivio our passion is authentic Neapolitan pizza. Napoli... our love of the city, its cuisine, and in particular, its pizza is where our story began. We heard time and time again “It’s all about the dough.” True to Neapolitan tradition, and the passion of the pizzaioli, we construct our pizza using “00” flour from Naples, San Marzano DOP tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil, fior di latte or bufala mozzarella, and sea salt. Our dough is gently mixed using a 28 year old “lieveto madre” (natural yeast culture) then with intense heat is baked in our wood burning il forno. At Bivio all of our dishes are made with the freshest and highest quality ingredients.

    It was a late (9 pm) evening decision, to go out for a light bite, post a Jack and Jill Baby Shower. Where to go to get some healthy fare like salad, oysters, mussels and clams? Aha, La Griglia was the answer. And so we were off. As always we were greeted with big smiles and a “great to see you”. The service and food was spectacular. .Be it a quick bite or a 3 course dinner, choosing La Griglia is always a great choice!

    A fantastic culinary experience. Our waiter Luis was exceptionally attentive to my needs and even anticipated requests and fulfilled them. The chef Alex was not only thorough but repeatedly cleaned the grill throughout the experience which always makes the food taste better. Really enjoyable experience and I look forward to my next visit.
