FAQs
The Basics
What is Teglia Pizza Bar?
Teglia Pizza Bar is a family-owned Montclair restaurant built around Roman-style pan pizza, fresh scratch cooking, long-fermented dough, and ingredients made in-house.
Are Teglia’s pizzas rectangular?
Yes. Teglia specializes in rectangular Roman pan pizza baked in a teglia.
Why is it called Teglia Pizza Bar?
“Teglia” is the Italian word for a pan or tray. It names the rectangular pan used for Roman-style pizza and the format at the center of the restaurant.
Dough & Ingredients
Does Teglia make its dough from scratch?
Yes. The dough begins with a mother dough from Sicily that the kitchen has kept since 2001, follows a four-day slow fermentation, and is baked on the fifth day.
How long does Teglia ferment its dough?
Four days, then it is baked on the fifth. The long, cold fermentation builds the crust’s flavor, airy structure, crisp base, and chew.
What kind of flour does Teglia use?
Teglia uses organic, non-bromated, non-GMO flour. The restaurant has worked without potassium bromate since 2001.
Does Teglia make cheese in-house?
Yes. Teglia makes mozzarella, ricotta and stracciatella in-house.
Catering
Does Teglia cater?
Yes. Teglia offers pizza and Italian catering for gatherings, office lunches, birthdays, and celebrations.
How much notice does Teglia need for catering?
Plan on at least 24 hours. Larger or custom orders should be discussed with the kitchen earlier so ingredients, timing, and capacity can be confirmed.
Can Teglia help me plan how much food to order?
Yes. Call the kitchen with your guest count and what else you are serving, and we will suggest a starting order.
How many people does a half tray or full tray serve?
For planning, start at about 10 guests for a half tray and about 20 for a full tray. The final mix depends on what else is being served, and the kitchen confirms the order.
How many standard slices are in a Teglia pizza?
A whole catering pie is planned as eight standard slices. Choosing a cut into 16 makes smaller pieces; it does not add more food.
Can catering pizzas be half-and-half?
No. Catering pizzas are ordered as straight pies, one flavor per pie.
Can I request a catering pizza well done or cut into 16?
Yes. Well done and cut into 16 are the two changes we take on catering pizzas.
Can I request a custom catering menu?
Yes. Describe the gathering and what you have in mind. Custom dishes, themed food, large cannoli, and unusual requests require a kitchen quote.
How are cannoli ordered for catering?
Small cannoli can be ordered by the piece. Large cannoli are a special request and require a separate quote.
Is catering delivery available?
No. Catering is pickup or curbside only.
Ordering & Visiting
Can I order curbside?
Yes. Choose curbside at checkout or include it with the catering request.
Does Teglia offer regular-menu delivery?
The current website routes regular-menu delivery through Slice. Catering is planned separately for pickup or curbside.
