Manville pizza is located along the Main Street in Manville with some street parking and a lot around back. There are two entrances for the customer's convenience. The restaurant itself was clean and there were plenty of decorations across the walls to give the restaurant a pleasant, neighborhood feeling. The staff was helpful and there was a tremendous selection of specialty slices behind the class at the counter. 


I decided to go with my usual plain slice and one of my preferred specialty slices, the chicken-bacon-ranch. The plain slice was pretty average with a crispy base and crust, and a good cheese-to-sauce ratio. Side story: I may be misremembering, but I believe the bowling alley that once existed behind where the pizzeria is now used to source their slices from this establishment and I always remembered that pizza being the greatest, most delicious in the area. Unfortunately, this is not the plain slice that I had remembered so fondly. Perhaps I need to order a fresh pie and cut all of the slices in half to experience the joy I felt as a kid at a bowling alley birthday party. /end story/
The chicken bacon ranch slice wasn't bad. The bacon was crispy and the ranch dressing was conservatively applied, which led to a good balance of flavors. I would have liked the chicken to be more flavorful, but overall, not a bad slice.

​Sorella's Pizza and Pasta is located in a small strip mall along Route 22 in the Whitehouse Station/Readington area. There is plenty of parking outside and the atmosphere inside is warm and friendly. It seemed like the owner knew everyone's name and was a very engaging. He was genuinely interested in the customers and how their day was going and it's awesome to have an owner that cares so much about the customer. 

The pizza was fantastic. The plain slice featured quality ingredients with a flavorful crust. The pasta slice was out-of-this-world. Seriously, the pasta was awesome and the vodka sauce was delicious. The slice was overflowing with pasta and it definitely filled me up. Sorella's is a must try for anyone in the area or even the person just passing through.
