In The Hood Eating Chicken and Pizza at Roberto's Ep. 134

In this episode of In the Hood, we're eating Chicken and Pizza at Roberto's Pizza in the Hood of Newark, NJ!
If you're ever in the area, be sure to head over to Roberto's Pizza and order some delicious pizza and chicken! This pizza joint is definitely worth a visit, and I'm sure you'll love it as much as we did!
This restaurant is located in the heart of the city with a rough urban backdrop, and I couldn't have asked for a more exciting or diverse setting to eat in. #friedchicken #pizza #hood #brickcity

[@jeffgolden253]

The wings looked good. Plump and meaty. But that pizza is too oily to be a 9. One of the rating criteria for pizza (especially pizza by the slice) has to be its "walkability" ... Can you eat it while you're walking down the street? If its too oily you can't because its gonna drip all over your shirt and your pants. BTW, where did Zack go? Didn't he get any pizza or wings?

[@MattDV]

Hey Jeff LOL. Zack ordered a Lamb Gyros Combo. And the Oil comes from the Mozzarella. It good for the heart...I think...LOL Just don't tell my DR.

Hey, Matt. I've had Ambassador chicken two, maybe three times. It's fine and tastes similar to any of the "(State) Fried Chicken" joints peppered throughout the city: Utah Fried, New York Fried, Kansas Fried, etc. However, Ambassador is not - CANNOT - be the gold standard for fried chicken. I don't know which place is, but it's not. (My sister LOVES their fried fish.)
