The popular pizzeria and restaurant, Uncle Louie’s Pizza, opened its first location in Franklin Lakes in 2014. But as of February 2020, their second location in Montvale is now open. You’ll find them in the spot previously occupied by Momma’s Kitchen, which closed in early February after six years.

“We opened a second location because we feel that our product is a cut above the rest,” says David Brancato; David owns Uncle Louie’s and has more than 30 years of experience in the restaurant industry. As for why he chose Montvale in particular, he says that “Montvale has high-end Italian places. Montvale has pizzerias. But it does not have the in between that we are.” Moreover, Uncle Louie’s is “the place that you can get the best of the best for a reasonable price.”
