How to Feed a Full Table with Neapolitan Pizza
Quick Summary: Culto Italiano in Bergenfield, just past New Milford from Oradell, makes wood-fired Neapolitan pizza the traditional way. Our pies are 12-inch individual pizzas, so feeding a family works differently than ordering one giant pie. Here is how to order for a crowd, and why it is worth it.
First, the honest part. We do not make extra-large pies, and we do not do combo deals. Neapolitan pizza does not work that way. Each pie is about 12 inches, baked in a wood-fired oven in roughly 90 seconds, with a soft center and a blistered crust. One pie is one serving for an adult.
That sounds like extra work, but it is actually better for families. Everyone picks their own pie. The kid who only eats Margherita gets a Margherita. The parent who wants prosciutto and arugula gets exactly that. Nobody negotiates over half-and-half toppings, because every person at the table gets a whole pizza made their way.
A family order from us usually looks like this:
-
One pie per adult, chosen from our menu
-
A pie split between younger kids
-
A fresh salad or two for the table, dressed with imported extra virgin olive oil
-
A pasta tray or starter when appetites run big
Every pie starts with San Marzano tomato sauce or a white base, fiordilatte di Napoli, and finishing touches like parmigiano reggiano and fresh basil. The dough is hand stretched and slow fermented. Chef Corrado was born in Naples and learned this craft in his family's pizzeria.
We've Worked With the Best People
Ordering from
Oradell
Our kitchen is at 49 W Church St in downtown Bergenfield, just past New Milford from the Oradell side. Ordering ahead makes the trip seamless. Call (201) 648-0111 and most orders are ready in 10 to 20 minutes. You can also order online through Toast or Slice. Every option is explained on our pizza takeout page.
Weeknight timing tip for busy families: call before you leave the house, not from our parking spot. By the time you arrive, the pies are boxed and hot. For the drive back toward Oradell, keep boxes flat and crack the lids so steam escapes. The crust stays crisp.
Delivery is available through our online ordering partners. Coverage depends on your exact address, so enter it at checkout to confirm before ordering.

Worth the Drive Past the Reservoir Towns
Oradell has its own quiet appeal, from the reservoir to its tree-lined blocks. What it does not have is a wood-fired Neapolitan oven. Ours runs every day.
Wood fire is not a gimmick. The oven's extreme heat bakes a pie in about 90 seconds, which is what creates the char on the crust and keeps the center soft. A conveyor oven or a home oven bakes slower and drier. Once your family tastes the difference, regular pizza night has a new standard.
Beyond pizza, the kitchen makes fresh pasta by hand, salads, and starters. There is a weekly special pizza that rotates with the season. And when a birthday or graduation rolls around, our wood-fired pizza truck travels to private events. See everything we do at our homepage.
Call Before You Leave the House
Call (201) 648-0111 and most orders are ready in 10 to 20 minutes, so the pies are boxed and hot when you pull in. Toast and Slice work too.
Not sure how to size the order? Tell us your table. A family of five usually means four adult pies, one split between the kids, and a salad. Keep the boxes flat on the drive back and crack the lids so steam escapes.
