Service was amazing.. came in on a Friday and it was a packed. We had to wait an hour for our table, there was six of us. It was totally worth the wait. We had an unbelievable time and the food was delicious. The manager was to be seen and around having a helping hand and whatever he could do. Jay (the manger on duty) was very pleasant to talk with and helped out all of his employees. Even dropped off some of our drinks . Whatever needed to be done that night, Jay was there helping the employees. It was amazing to see such professionalism. Everyone was happy, great music and a ton of TVs to watch your favorite game! This was our first time here and it won't be our last. We are looking forward to coming again and trying more of your amazing food. Thank you for having us It was such a great time.

Fave pizza spot. Worth the wait if there’s a line, and there will be. Nachos with the short ribs was a delicious surprise. The entire Crew is a 10

The food was excellent. Very good. The service was a little spotty but they were really busy. The draft system was down. We got charged $16 for a salad when the menu said $13 but all just little things that happen in the first week. We can’t wait to come back. The pizza, smash burger, avocado turkey sandwich and salad were all excellent.

Nana’s Kitchen is truly a hidden gem (not likely “hidden” for long) as the staff and service are top notch, best we’ve had in a long time. The atmosphere is so cozy and the story of how Nana’s Kitchen came to be makes everything about it that much sweeter (speaking of sweet, their desserts are to die for!) I could go on and on but I really never write reviews but this one was much needed to say thank you!

We’ve been twice now. Long wait but worth it. Nacho’s are delish and so were the Pretzel Bites. Cheese pizza held up well with no flop. Great pie’s all round. We look forward to trying other meals as they looked great too.

This was our first visit but it won’t be our last. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We went early and it was already packed. We found two seats at the bar where we were immediately greeted and given a moment to make our beverage choices. We then made our dinner choices. Every thing was tasty. We felt that the restaurant was very clean.

Outstanding first visit. I was skeptical, and I am a pizza connoisseur, perfecting my own recipe for many years. I was welcomed by the staff who worked the cozy restaurant and obviously needed to try the pizza. Although they don't typically split small pizza's I was alone and wanted to try a couple. I had a half margarita and half pepperoni. The pizza was cooked as most like it, next time I'll ask for well done, but it delivered. The ingredients were high quality, taste was excellent, and just the right amount of dough for my taste, more on the thin side. If you are wondering about the sauce, it was slightly tangy sweet, hint of garlic I believe. I also had to try Nanna's steak tip and cheese sub as she made it (with peppers, onions, and mushrooms). I thought the pizza was great (8.6), would be a 9.1 if well done, but the sub was the show stopper!! It was the og Nadeau's steak tip and cheese before they decided to get greedy and make the subs with lesser quality steak. This was clearly ribeye because it melted in my mouth and was packed with flavor. My god people, you have to get the sub! Even the bread was outstanding, if not homemade, it is the same vendor Nadeau's used or may still use. The vibe was contemporary Italian, bold, fun. The place is small so plan ahead and you may try lunch or an off day because I am told after being open only one week, they have been on quite a waiting list at night given the size. You can tell someone took a great deal of pride using his Nana's recipe's and clearly naming the restaurant in her honor. Without a doubt did the homework on excellent pizza making, there is zero chance this was anything short of trial and error for quite some time. Bravo.
