Cavallo’s Meat Market

Cavallos. the place where time and dreams go to die. Been here a few times only because I was in the neighborhood and needed to grab a quick bite. The food is good. Can’t complain about the pizza or sandwiches that I’ve had. As for customer service. they suck. The guy who makes the pizzas is alright. Everyone else not so much. The service has always been consistently slow. The attitude is pretty much «I don’t give a f*ck» and if you have to wait 20 minutes for a cold turkey sandwich, oh well. even though you’re the only one in the store. The only guy who cared enough to acknowledge that my frustration was rising with each passing moment was the pizza guy. I tried to grab the attention of some tall bald guy who appeared to be the manager but he gave me a look that just made me want to knock him out cold. Bottom line is. you would be much better served pretty much anywhere else but here.

Ordered from here today, December 23^rd, which i understand is a very busy time of year for delivery restaurants. To begin with, my family and I will never order from Cavallo’s unless we are willing to wait nearly an hour because that is the norm for this restaurant. However, after 2 hours of hearing nothing regarding our order, my father called to check the status. The response was «we are really backed up, you’re going to have to wait about another hour. Want us to just cancel?».umm no because at this point we are starving and out of other delivery options. Maybe give customers a heads up that you are «really backed up» when they call to place an order instead of making them wait hours on end with no explanation. Was the food terrible? No. Was it worth a 3 hour wait? Absolutely not. Will we ever order from here again? Absolutely not.

Staff always friendly… greets me by name. Had a craving for a slice today. Waited for 2 fresh out of the oven. Perfect crust I could literally taste the fresh ingredients in the sauce.

Our favourite pizza in & around Nutley by quite some way, and the stuffed breads are fantastic also.

This place is awful. Completely overpriced and the owner is SO rude to customers!!! I get it was a Thursday night and you can be busy but jesus, learn how to treat your patrons!!! Do not recommend. Better pizza elsewhere.

Customer service is horrible. Had this female clerk that, did not know what she was doing, I asked to order a grilled chicken wrap on wheat. Ordered it at 1130am.5 customers came in hot and cold food and still waited for my wrap. Finally at 1215 I got my grilled chicken wrap. I told her I waited 45 mins for wrap and I asked for my money back. they offered to give me the food and give my money back. I did not take and just wanted my money back. The only person that wax helpful was the guy that was making pizzas. Please retrain ur staff because I have been coming here for years as I grew up in Nutley. Totally disappointed at this establishment how it changed thru out the years.

How, I’ve missed this place, since I left Nutley. I used to live up the block from them, but I will definitely travel down the Pkwy for my fix!

Food is good but wayyyy overpriced. And the workers there are snobby and never get anything right. I come here once in awhile not often. Really not worth it.

The imported prosciutto is the best in the area. Quick and friendly service, and always the freshest ingredients. Hot fryer peppers are amazing there. You can taste the quality in all of their ingredients.

The best food in nutley! Where else can you get chicken, steaks, and burgers cut straight from the butcher and then prepared for you by the chef? NO WHERE! The t bone steak here is better then most high end steakhouse I’ve been too. I actually get mad when I try new places cause cavallos dinners are better along with great portions. Keep up the great work!

Great place

I’ve gone to Cavallo’s only for their grilled chicken sandwiches. Many times I’ve ordered a side of fries to accompany my meal. I always leave satisfied and full.
The grilled chicken is well cooked. Always juicy and never dry. The fries are frozen but addicting. Any lettuce, tomato, pepper or cheese added to my sandwich tastes fresh.
Though it’s more of a store than restaurant, they have a nice selection on their menu and a separate space to the side of the store with tables and TV’s to sit and eat. Prices are reasonable and service is friendly and fast.
I usually end up at Cavallo’s whenever I’m craving a simple yet great tasting grilled chicken sandwich and don’t ever leave disappointed.

I have been ordering from this place for years and normally I would rank this place 4 stars. Last night we ordered a pizza, nothing complicated. The pizza arrived within 30 minutes which was nice. When I opened the box all the toppings shifted to one side of the pizza. We ordered a supreme (peppers, onions, sausage, meatball, and cheese). It wasn’t with trying to even out the toppings. I tried to pick up a slice that actually had toppings on it and they just slid off. I called and attempted to tell them about this and I talked to the phone girl who put me on hold, then a man, and then they disconnected me. It was a $ 26.00 waste of a pizza.

This place is horrible. Two times in a row the screwed up our delivery order. When we called they could careless about their mistakes. When I asked for a credit the told me no and said do not call them anymore. Some of the worst service I have dealt with in a restaurant in my life. NEVER ORDER FROM HERE!!!

Food o. k was a lot better until Tony the owner started yelling at our kids.
It’s ok though, we all go to lous place now. cheaper, and have all his cooks anyway.
Go loues place!

Great everything!
Delicious pizza, the best calzones, huge sandwiches. Very nice owners

The cold cut sandwiches are very good. The food is fresh, generous portions, and the Italian bread is nice and crispy. The store is very clean. I gave 4 stars because the staff is far from friendly. I have witnessed them arguing with each other in front of customers and they seem annoyed when you ask a question or place an order.

Great cold cut sandwiches! The guys behind the counter are so nice and make your sandwiches perfectly to order. Used to go to Frank’s deli in belleville but got tired of their terrible service. This place is way better!

Their food is gross and tasteless. Whomever gives this place more than 1 star is clueless about food. They are thieves as well. I run there sometimes in a pinch for meat. They need to go to Newark and learn how to cut chicken cutlets from a real butcher.

Was psyched to try this place after reading the reviews of the last two people and another site. While very solid and enjoyable, not very authentic flavors. Having lived in Philly for 5 years I am sure I know what to look for and here’s the issues I had with the sandwich:
— Cavallo’s does not have Cheez Whiz which is a staple of Philly steaks. It’s fine if you prefer another cheese, but the option is something I like to have as I like it now and then.
— They’re small as is evidenced by the pic I took. They are 12″ rolls with about an inch of extra bread on each end of the roll.
–They toast their rolls. The cheese was toasted on the roll. This is NOT how it’s done. I made these things for a year and you lay the cheese on top of the meat while it’s on the grill and you let it sit for about 15 seconds before removing it from grill.
The steak is certainly better than other places in the immediate area (except for Beyond Pita in Montclair), but to say it’s the best or better than Philly is absolutely absurd.
