When you grab a bite from The Boss Cafe by Buddy Valastro, you’re participating in a family enterprise. Many of the dishes are named after family members, and family members are partners in the company and even work in the venue—Buddy Valastro’s father-in-law, Mauro Belgiovine, makes the mozzarella for the eatery fresh every day. (And boy, is it ever good!)
The intimate restaurant area is situated down a corridor near the parking garage entrance, making it exceptionally convenient to stop in for breakfast or lunch. Boss Cafe is even open for an afternoon “happy hour,” where you’ll find menu items at discounted prices.
Some of your best bets here include Nonna Style Pizza Squares, a hefty, bakery-style portion served margherita-style or with thick-cut pepperoni, all the meats, or even with chicken Parm (you gotta see it). The Jersey Focaccia options are super inventive, with toppings like Ma’s Chicken Milanese and Jersey Roast Beef.
Like any good deli, there are plenty of sides and salads and, fittingly for the Cake Boss, there is a great bakery section with cookies, cake, muffins and, of course, cannoli. Outside, there’s even a pizza vending machine in case they’re closed, delivering hot slices anytime. Oh yeah!
