I've lived in the area for a while but had yet to try Clemente's until tonight - I've been missing out! The pizza is delicious. I brought my kids and ordered the prerequisite chicken tenders which were so good I'd order them as my own entree. Excellent matchstick fries as well. The staff was very accommodating and friendly especially considering my 1 year old cried for most of our time eating in the dining area (which is cozy and great for a quick bite!). Will be returning soon, hopefully next time without baby tears!
Love their grandma pizza. Kids favorite. We have done take out only. But that our favorite place in the town.
Best grandma pie ever! My go to treat for my birthday, every Sunday, or whenever I need a pick me up comfort food!
My favorite pizza place in town. The Andrew pizza is an insanely rich delight with bacon, vodka sauce, and ricotta. The Grandma pizza is also fantastic. Both are 10/10 and the rest of the slices are 8/10. The trick is to arrive right when the pies come out. Also, incredibly low prices.
Recently moved back in the area and the grandmas is better than ever. Now live farther away than before and still make the drive to get it. There is more cheese than I remember from back in the day. It is topped with chunks of tomatoes, which I sometimes don't like at other places but they stew them or something because they are perfect. Nice seasoning and great overall taste. We almost always stop in for a slice now and they do a great job with that. Always a perfect crunch on the bottom. Moving up the list of favorite pizza in the state.
Best pizza in town! Best vodka sauce pizza I have ever had. They also have a good salad pizza and an amazing grandma pie. The plain cheese is great too!
Clemente's does a thriving pizza business but we ordered 3 half pans of pasta/chicken to go. The penne with vodka was remarkable. Adults loved. Finicky kids loved. We demolished that dish. Chicken parm was also great and we liked that they cut the chicken breasts in big pieces which was good for a big group if some folks just wanted a taste (but you WILL go back for seconds). The third dish of cavatelli and broccoli wasn't bad. It just lacked a little flavor (that could be fixed with a little more garlic, olive oil and salt). Honestly, it was probably just the contrast to the first two dishes that were so rich and bursting with flavor. We would look forward to ordering from here again and definitely will add a pizza next time because I fully expect the buzz is worth it. But don't overlook the pasta alla vodka and chicken dishes which were pretty impressive. I hope there are leftovers for breakfast.
