Godfather Pizzeria is by far the most popular right off of route 10. Also Avellinos, or Giulietta Romeo are extremely popular pizzerias in town. Those are just a few of the best places to get pizza.

Some of the nicer restaurants that expect a bit more formal attire are Breanna’s, Lugi’s, and Ravello’s, all of which have great Italian food. Many residents of East Hanover enjoy Paniveno as well but the food is not as well prepared as many of the other restaurants in town.

Three of the smaller lunch facilities in East Hanover are Esposito’s meat and deli, Angelo’s Deli and Sorrento’s Bakery. Each is a great authentic deli.

Miami Mikes Sports Bar is probably the most exciting bar to go to. The food is great and it is an awesome, electrifying bar to watch the major sporting events.

If you are looking for an older crowd Godfather Pizzeria or a more leisurely Luigi’s maybe the place to go.
