At Bivio our passion is authentic Neapolitan pizza. Napoli... our love of the city, its cuisine, and in particular, its pizza is where our story began. We heard time and time again “It’s all about the dough.” True to Neapolitan tradition, and the passion of the pizzaioli, we construct our pizza using “00” flour from Naples, San Marzano DOP tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil, fior di latte or bufala mozzarella, and sea salt. Our dough is gently mixed using a 28 year old “lieveto madre” (natural yeast culture) then with intense heat is baked in our wood burning il forno. At Bivio all of our dishes are made with the freshest and highest quality ingredients.

It is always a great experience at The Highlawn. I have enjoyed every meal I have eaten there. It is the perfect place for date night or a business meal with important clients. The Highlawn is one of my favorite places to wine, dine, and entertain in north New Jersey.

Food is fantastic. Service was excellent. it is a little 'brisk' feeling as the table spaces are a little tight and it is hustling and bustling but its a great place and you'll love the food. It may not be the soothing romantic place - probably best for meeting up with friends or established couple!
