I’ve had a variety of the foods they serve at Neena’s, from the basic plain cheese pizza all the way up to their chicken alfredo pasta dish. Here’s a quick rundown on my opinions:

Pizza: The plain cheese is extraordinary. It reminds me of Oak Valley pizza when Carl Hazzard still owned the shop. (Locals to that area of Deptford should know who i mean.) The rest of their pies that i’ve tried have been more average, but certainly very enjoyable.

Steak sandwich: Honestly, when i eat at what is essentially a pizza parlor, i tend to expect a top of the line steak sandwich. The day i ordered my sandwich, my friends ordered the cheesed variety. We were all rather disappointed, there wasn’t much meat between the bread, and the fancier roll they used just didn’t taste as good as the more generic rolls that are normally on steak sandwiches. We voiced our opinions, but havn’t braved ordering them again since.

Chicken alfredo: I love alfredo. I’ve had alfredo from nearly everywhere that serves it. There are many ways of making alfredo, and just as many opinions on how it should taste. While Neena’s alfredo sauce wasn’t my favorite blend of those i’ve tried, it certainly holds up well – easily beating out the alredo i’ve had at Olive Garden, but not quite living up to what I’ve tasted from the now closed Pasta Cheech. Alfredo preferences aside, there’s one thing i don’t think anyone could disagree on; the lightly grilled chicken served on top of the pasta is quality and delicious.

Chicken Cesar salad wrap: It’s big. loaded with mostly lettuce and some chopped chicken and dressing, its really what you would expect for a wrap – but it is well stuffed, diner style, and that can actually be a problem. Even though i thought it was delicious, i tend not to order it because it falls apart too easily and becomes overly complicated to eat. I know it sounds silly, but sandwiches and wraps that fall apart and become difficult to eat, or are hard to handle from the start, tend to discourage me from having them, because i’m a bit obsessive compulsive about the cleanliness of my hands.

Appetizers: I’ve tried the onion rings, mozzarella sticks, and “Italian quesadillas”, and would order all of them again, if it wasnt for the cost. For about $6-7, you get about 10 onion rings or 5 cheese sticks. Sorry, but i don’t see the value in that – unless of course, you come with a coupon for free appetizers. As the guru said, all are tasty and consistent, but the quantity served is a bit disproportionate to the portions of their dinners, which are normally quite generous, the only exception to this being the “Italian quesadillas”, which in reality are just breadsticks – for a similar price, you get enough to easily fill yourself up on if you were to eat them solo.

Wow. I’ve eaten there way too much.
Large pizza and sodas for three people for about $15? plus free live entertainment on Thursdays? can’t beat that!
