Pizzarras - Union City

Been coming here for years. The food is consistently excellent, service great and it's byob

It is no surprise for many that Uruguayans love their flesh. Cows even exceed people in Uruguay. It's just fitting that they have a sandwich that underlines. The word chivito actually means little goats. The legend of the name is that a cartridge from Argentina came to a restaurant in Uruguay and tried to order a small goat sandwich. The restaurant owner, not owned by goatmeat (and do not want to disappoint a hungry Argentine), uses steak instead, plus whatever he had in the kitchen and thus the chivito was born. Chivito is also known as the national court of Uruguay and is often referred to as a heart attack on a plate. It can be served al plato or al pan, but you will want it in the pan. The sandwich itself consists of thin cut steak, bacon, ham, mozzarella cheese, a fried egg, tomatoes, mayonnaise, green olives, served on a fresh roll with frits on the side, because of course there are. Pizzarra 's Restaurant Pizzeria on Bergenline Ave. in Union City is best known for their Chivitos and probably the best place to get one in NJ. I can't recommend Pizzarra enough. They are an excellent choice for their Uruguayan pizza, pasta, Milanesen, empanadas and even desserts, such as the *chaja* cake (Meringue, Dulce de leche, whipped cream, peaches).

The best Uruguayan cuisine. Tasty meat pizza and desserts . Beatriz the owner is a very sweet and super nice lady a great host. If you want to have a delicious meal, you must visit!!!

The best and most complete mom and pop’s restaurant around here. Great combination of good vibes and quality food. Great variety on the menu, clean bathroom but small place. My favorite restaurant in Union City, NJ
