Nanuet Bar Restaurant

I have fond memories of this restaurant from my childhood in the 1970s, and recently had the opportunity to visit after it underwent renovations during a trip to Rockland. The exterior looked different with a new neon sign, but inside it was completely transformed while retaining some nostalgic items like bar hats. Despite the crowded Saturday night, we managed to grab seats at the bar where we discovered a variety of microbrews replacing the old pitchers of Bud. The bartenders were friendly and attentive, willing to hear our old stories. The menu looked enticing, especially the sliders, but we had traveled 250 miles for their famous pizza and were not disappointed. We learned that the same person has been making the dough for over 20 years. It was heartwarming to see the Nanuet Restaurant thriving, and we will certainly be back whenever we are in the area again.

First and foremost, let me start by praising the excellent service at this restaurant. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. However, I believe they should put more emphasis on their BBQ and smoked dishes, as that is what truly sets them apart in Blauvelt. While they do offer Italian cuisine, there are already plenty of fantastic Italian restaurants in Nanuet. In my opinion, their smoked and BBQ dishes are unmatched in the tri-state area. It would be great to see them bring this specialty to Nanuet.

The restaurant provides fast and friendly service with reasonable prices and a very nice interior dining area. However, I was not satisfied with my menu choice. The meatball hero was quite disappointing – it consisted of a large toasted hero roll with only 4 small meatballs that were overcooked and dry. There was very little melted cheese and hardly any sauce on the sandwich. The small cup of extra red sauce helped slightly. The best parts of the meal were the extra cost onion rings and the Blue Moon beer. Despite having eaten here several times before, this visit was a major letdown.

Totally unsatisfactory. This what they call Margarita pizza. No fresh basil no tomatoes and no fresh garlic.

Nanuet restaurant is simply the best pizza for me. I've never had a pie anywhere else that is a combination of thin crust and pan pizza. Yes the Hotel is quite similar and delicious, but I find NR to be just a tad thicker with a bit more flavor. The place makes a glutton out of me every time! My only quibble is that they used to offer coupons on apps like Groupon that made it more affordable, but I don't see them anymore. If they brought them back I could give them five stars over and over!
