Gallo’s Pizzeria — A Double-Bite Review
The inspiration for this review was a lunch with Morris County editor Deanna Quinones at Tomato Pie in Morristown, where we wrote our first Double-Bite restaurant review.

There are definitely too many nights when I ask my husband what he’d like for dinner and I’m met with a shrug. I usually make it home by 7, but he doesn’t get to town until nearly 8, which doesn’t leave much time for dinner at a reasonable hour. Our default takeout dinners usually involve a call to the local Chinese food restaurant. However, with the October opening of
