Chicken parm in Clifton, NJ: over pasta, on a hero or by the tray
Chicken parm is the Italian-American classic: a breaded chicken cutlet under marinara and melted mozzarella. We're an Italian-style pizzeria, so it isn't a one-off special here. You can have it as a dinner over linguini or penne, on a hero or in a wrap, on a brick-oven pizza, or by the catering tray. The chicken is zabiha, like every meat in the kitchen (more on that below).
What our chicken parm is
It's a breaded cutlet with our marinara and mozzarella on top; on the catering tray, the cutlet is breaded and seasoned and the mozzarella is baked on. What changes is what it sits on: pasta, a hero, a wrap, a pizza crust or a tray. It's part of the Italian side of the menu; for the pasta dinners, calzones and the rest, see the rest of our Italian menu.
Chicken Parmigiana Dinner, over linguini or penne
The plate version is the cutlet over your choice of linguini or penne. Every dinner comes with one side to pick: a side salad with toasted bread, or garlic bread (cheese on it is a small extra). It's on the everyday dinner menu, so it's ordered and delivered like a pizza, unlike the trays.
The Eggplant Parmigiana Dinner sits beside it with the same pasta and side choices, the meatless parm on a plate. The other pasta dinners (baked ziti, pink sauce, alfredo, mussels marinara) are on the Italian page.
Chicken parm on a hero, a Pizzaro Flat or a wrap
The Chicken Parmigiana Sandwich comes on a hero roll or our homemade Pizzaro Flat. The Chicken Parmigiana Wrap comes in a Pizzaro Flat, a white wrap or a whole-wheat wrap. You can add a side to either: lentil or chicken noodle soup, a side salad, fries, cheese fries, yellow vegetable rice, or chips in six flavors. Add-ons include extra mozzarella, white American or Swiss, peppers, jalapeños, onions, mushrooms, olives, pickles and fresh garlic. Find both under sandwiches and wraps, next to the meatball parm and eggplant parm sandwiches, which have the same bread, side and add-on choices.
Want chicken baked into dough instead? Add crispy chicken to a calzone or stromboli.
Chicken parm on a pizza, or by the slice
The Chicken Parmigiana Pizza puts the cutlet, marinara and mozzarella on a pie from our brick oven. It comes as a personal 10", a small 12", a large 16" or the party-style 28", and the 28-inch party pizza feeds 12 to 15 adults. You can ask for it well done, with light sauce or light cheese. When the specialty slice is on, Parmigiana Chicken is one of its choices, but availability varies, so call to check.
Chicken parm for a party: half and full trays
Chicken Parmigiana is on the catering menu in half-tray and full-tray sizes. A full tray serves 10 to 20 people, the minimum is two trays, and anything over six trays needs 24 hours' notice; the rest of the logistics are on the how catering works page. Parm trays to pair with it: Veal Parmigiana, Shrimp Parmigiana and Eggplant Parmigiana, plus garlic bread, garlic knots, baked ziti and salads. For Eid and iftar spreads, see Eid and Ramadan catering.
Every parm on the menu
Chicken parm is the one you can get every way. The others come in fewer formats, and veal and shrimp parm are catering trays only, not everyday dinners.

FAQ
Chicken parm questions
- Is your chicken parm halal?
- Yes. The chicken is zabiha halal, like every meat in our kitchen, and nothing non-halal comes through the door: the fryer, the deli slicer and the prep tables are all halal-only, and there is no pork on the premises. We keep our suppliers' certificates at the shop and will show them to you. If a specific ingredient matters to you, the cheese for example, ask when you order and we'll tell you what's in it.
- What comes with the Chicken Parmigiana Dinner?
- The breaded chicken cutlet, topped with marinara and melted mozzarella, comes over your choice of linguini or penne. You also pick one side: a side salad with toasted bread, or garlic bread (cheese on the garlic bread is a small extra). The Eggplant Parmigiana Dinner comes with the same pasta and side choices if someone at the table doesn't eat meat.
- Can I get chicken parm as a sandwich or a wrap?
- Both. The Chicken Parmigiana Sandwich comes on a hero roll or our homemade Pizzaro Flat. The Chicken Parmigiana Wrap comes in a Pizzaro Flat, a white wrap or a whole-wheat wrap. You can add a side when you order: lentil or chicken noodle soup, a side salad, fries, cheese fries, yellow vegetable rice or chips. You can add extra mozzarella, peppers, jalapeños, onions, mushrooms or fresh garlic. The Meatball Parm and Eggplant Parm sandwiches work the same way.
- Can I order chicken parm for a party?
- Yes. Chicken Parmigiana is on our catering menu in half and full trays, and a full tray serves 10 to 20 people. The catering minimum is two trays, and for more than six trays please call 24 hours ahead. Veal, shrimp and eggplant parmigiana come as trays too. For a crowd, a 28-inch party pizza (it feeds 12 to 15 adults) next to the trays works well. Call (973) 247-9922 for a quote.
- Do you have veal, shrimp or eggplant parm?
- Yes, in different formats. Eggplant parm comes as a dinner over pasta, as a sandwich, and as a catering tray. Veal parmigiana and shrimp parmigiana are catering trays only, so they aren't on the everyday dinner menu. There's also a meatball parm sandwich. Chicken parm is the one you can get every way: dinner, sandwich, wrap, pizza and tray.
- Do you deliver chicken parm to Paterson and Passaic?
- Yes. The chicken parm dinner, sandwich, wrap and pizza are all on the everyday menu, so our own drivers bring them to Clifton, Paterson, Passaic and nearby towns, the same way they deliver a pizza. There's a $15 minimum and a small driver fee that depends on the town; the delivery page lists each one. Phone and delivery orders are cash to the driver, and online orders are paid by card. Trays can be ordered online or by phone; call 24 hours ahead for more than six.
