Portobello Restaurant and Pizza

Good food for a pizzeria with lots of variety but very expensive with delivery just not being worth it.

No exaggeration, the worst food I’ve had in a while. I ordered an italian hot dog, lasagna and a buffalo chicken pizza. The pizza came in a box that appeared to be old. Whereas the pizza in the box was at least 3 days old. The lasagna was completely tasteless and the hot dog was very dry. There are better pizza restaurants in the area. Well, anything has to be better than here.

HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE!
Terrible meal, and lousy service. Waiter Randolph tried to up-​charge $ 4 to change a lunch pasta from capellini to linguini. Seriously? A pound of pasta costs the same no matter the shape of the noodle. Also-​the pasta is not homemade. Ordered a blackened tuna salad-​extra rare-​came out OVERCOOKED, not even pink, and tasted extremely fishy. Sent it back-​waiter w/​attitude, and got a grilled shrimp salad-​slimy bad shrimp. Overall a disaster, and will never go back.

I don’t know what happened to this place. I used to get pizza from here regularly and my original review was 4 stars. Then I got horrible tasteless pizza on Labor Day and changed my review to 2 stars with no intention of going back. However, I did go back, with my 3 year old boy. I ordered a plain slice for him, and a slice of chicken parm pizza + 1 slice of chicken romano pizza for myself. Both of my slices were re-​heated (the norm) but completely dried out (old). They sucked really bad. My son ate half of his slice, and I tried a couple bites of his… still crappy, like the last time I was there. The server was nice, the experience of my boy & I having dinner «just us» was nice, and the dessert we shared (a slice of chocolate & peanut butter pie) was good.
But I judge a pizza place by their pizza. Especially their plain cheese slices. And the last 2 times I’ve gone there they’ve been tasteless and poor quality. Since Labor Day wasn’t a fluke due to the holiday, I’m dropping my rating to 1 star.
For the best pizza in Hillsborough, check out Angelos or Sals.

Good pizza and good prices. Definitely a great spot to go to if you’re in the mood for some specialty slices — they have a great variety.
Update ¹⁰⁄₁₂ — we ordered take-​out a few weeks ago that was awful. Just a plain pie, but whoa was it bad. Figured the regular team must have been off that day or something (I think it was a holiday). But, alas, no. Hubby and son went Monday night for pizza and it was just as gross. They brought home slices for the rest of us that were pretty much inedible. So disappointed…

I live in California and when I visit my family In Hillsborough we always get Pizza from this place. It is soo good I will usually freeze a few slices and take them home with me.

I moved here from NY & this is the best pizza I can find that measures up to NY pizza. They have a nice selection. They have cannoli’s too, where most places don’t.

I used to come here a lot when I used to work in the same shopping plaza. There’s a really good selection of pizza slices. Chicken Romano is definitely my favorite because it’s in a vodka sauce with some onions and mushrooms. It’s yummy and not just your average slice of pizza, which let’s face it in Jersey, you can find pretty much anywhere. The penne vodka is also quite good. The people who work here are very nice and helpful as well.

The pizza here is pretty decent. They have an incredible variety available for slices compared to most other places in the area which is why I tend to go here more so than any other pizza places when I’m in the mood for a slice or 2 as most do not have so many choices for a single slice.
The owner is friendly and the staff is your average pizza joint staff.

Okay food. Nothing special.
