You, the reader of this blog, are a part of history, however significant it may be. You are reading the first "From My Seat" post of an establishment that has no customer seating. There's no room, and that's a shame perhaps, because no doubt AJ's Pizza (615 Route 23 South, Pompton Plains, 973-839-2222, www.ajspizza.net) would be well-visited by locals, travelers driving up and down Route 23, and folks who are at a distance who love their food (the last folks are we Searses, about 15 miles away in Bloomfield). There is also an original Butler location (12 Main Street, 973-283-0454), but for the purposes of this post, we'll focus on the four-year-old Pompton Plains AJ's Pizza.
A note to eateries: be open when you indicate you are supposed to be open. If you have to close due to an emergency, leave a note so visiting potential customers understand why your doors are shut and will consider revisiting instead of (as I did) driving away in frustration. So, AJ's Pizza - Moe, Evana, and Abraham - "rescued" our Sunday evening dinner, and they did it in a kind, conscientious way. "Is this well done enough for you?" Abraham asks, removing my pizza, which I requested be well done and light on sauce, out of the oven. When I said a little bit more well done, he complied, and it was ready for our family to enjoy ($12.50).
Moe, Evana, Abraham - thank you! As you've probably gathered, you'll see us again soon.
Steve
