Cons: Could have more appetizers that are vegan

my favorite restaurant in New Jersey

The vegan pizzas, calzone and Pomodoro pasta are excellent. The only negative is they need a vegan dessert #Veganuary

Pros: Great vegan pizzas and Pomodoro pasta, Great bar an excellent vibe

Cons: can’t bring dog to outdoor area

Great service, great options

Vegan options were primary apps and pizza but I would go back at least weekly for the Snawseeegh pizza... It was amazing. Best cashew ricotta I've ever had.

Pros: Options they have are terrific

Cons: No real vegan entrees outside of the pizza.

Amazing Pizza!

I had the Rita and Mark pizza. The vegan cheese on it rivals that of the vegan cheese that Crust and Crumble uses. Just be sure to call ahead, especially if you plan on visiting during the weekend.

Pros: Great vegan options!, Friendly staff!

Casual, cool, slightly swanky spot for all the pizza you can eat!

What can I say that hasn't already been said...I freaking love Porta. The environment is perfection, gorgeous drink selections and a bevvy of vegan pizza options. You just can't go wrong with a Rita & Mark. Add cashew ricotta and ascend into heaven. Don't stay too late though (or do!) - this place turns into a loud, rivals-NYC-style club at night!

Soooo tasty and fast service.

So, I stopped in here on my way back from NJ Vegfest and was rolling through and needed to get something fast to go. I want to go back because I love the atmosphere. It’s like rustic warehouse chic. So cool and has a couple of patios to dine outside. We ordered two pizzas to go and they were literally ready in 10 minutes and the place was PACKED. I got the snawcheeze and I couldn’t have been happier with my decision. The staff was all friendly, professional, and super efficient.

Pros: Great atmosphere , Quick and good service , Awesome vegan options for pizza

delicious pizza and wine!

We ordered the Snawzeech pizza and the cashew ricotta with bread appetizer. Both were amazing and I highly recommend. We also ordered a carafe of the red Porta wine.
I have also been to the jersey city location which was great, but this was amazing.
Thanks for having many vegan pizza options!

great "sausage" pizza

Thanks to the other reviews I ordered the pizza with cashew cheese and sausage (sans broccoli rabe cause it's the one veg I don't like). Hot dang it was good. Best sausage I've had on pizza. Great brick oven flavor and the sauce was packed with flavor.

Pros: great pizza

Cons: dunno how many options there are- I was too tired

limited vegan/gluten free options

Porta Pizzas are INSANELY GOOD. unless yer vegan and or gluten free. Then you are insanely limited. Surprising considering it's asbury park location. They should add a gluten free crust option and widen the vegan cheese selections.

Pros: fun atmosphere

Cons: loud as hell, limited options for vegans

Club?

Really excited to try their food but the establishment turns into a club after hours on Saturday. Not worth the 30 min wait or the loudmusic.

Great italian style!

We enjoyed a delicious vegetarian lunch including pizza, pasta and salad.
Courses are small for charged price but quality is excellent.

Pros: Stoneoven Pizza , fresh salad , fine dressings

Cons: tiny courses of you are very hungry :-)

Best Pizza in New Jersey

Porta changes their menu seasonally so every few months you'll find new vegan/veg options. However, even with all the changes, the taste and quality is totally consistent.

Tips: Don't go on Friday or Saturday night because the place turns into a dance club and it gets loud and uncomfortable.

Pros: Good Food, Good Service, great menu

Great vegan pizza!

Wow - what a great restaurant for pizza-loving vegans. They have three different vegan pizzas on their menu; we tried two of them and both were great but the marinara pizza was absolutely out of this world. The pizza menu is available for those choosing to sit outside at their picnic tables, which is what we did - there is a more extensive menu inside, but we didn't need it; we were very happy. Highly recommended.

Pros: delicious vegan pizza, great service, you can sit outside
