"Manger is a bit of a hustler in the back when it comes to speciality cakes- watch the price they offer if you come here. We were ready to go, and we feel that the manager tried to change the price last minute to make more money, so we walked out. Here’s the story:Walked in today to purchase a fondant cake for a party. Showed a picture of the cake (clearly fondant). We had called ahead and was told to come in when the manager was there.Walked in today, and a very nice woman helped us out. Told us it was about 290 for a 1 tier, 12 inch speciality fondant cake- which of course makes sense. We also wanted to purchase fondant cupcakes, so this was all adding up to around 400 plus, which was fine.Just as we were ready to make the payment, the manager came from the back and a second woman spoke with him. She then came over to us and told us the cake price was for butter cream and they told us the wrong thing. Now- I wonder about this butter cream, it must be a special butter cream because I have never seen a cake cost 300 for butter cream (unless maybe a wedding cake) but not a one tier 12 inch cake. We showed the picture and again, was told that the picture was buttercream (which it wasn’t and we went to a second place after having no issues)They falsely claimed that the picture wasn’t fondant but buttercream with fondant decorations on it. Not sure why they tried to do this. Maybe the manager or whoever that was thought they could squeeze a couple more dollars out of us but instead lost the entire sale.We walked out. Especially knowing cake prices and thinking that I spent less than 300 for my wife’s massive fondant birthday cake at a different place.We went to Francesco’s bakery (where I had gotten cakes in the past) in Hicksville. Had no issues. They charged less and gave us a much nicer cake.Up to you but we won’t be going back to Dortoni bakery. If you do go, watch the prices and if you feel the hustle coming, walk out. There’s better bakeries."

"I have loved Liscio's since moving to the are over 3 years ago. My main store on 47 in Glassboro closed about a year ago. This store is now my favorite. I'm impressed at many things liscio's offers. And there are many reasons for coming into Liscio's at any of their convenient locations. First, the taste and quality of the food. The bread is Amazing. I rarely buy bread at the grocery store any more. Don't waste money on cheap bread. For a few pennies more the anchor of you sandwich SHOULD be high quality bread that adds flavor instead of adding nothing. Second reason: prices. Their prices are more than reasonable. If you see some goodie and think it is priced a little High, take a closer look. You will see high quality ingredients and plenty of the good stuff so the price is really more than fair. My favorite treat is the Black and White cookie. The white side is the best! Third : staff. There where at least 5 delightful, talented, conscientious, hard working young ladies on the job during my visit. It's easy to tell when someone doesn't care about their job but that's not the case here. Every one of the girls were busy, and so well trained any one could have been running the joint at any given time. I was very impressed by all of them. Their tip jar should have been packed. I added my 2 bucks so don't be a cheapskate when you are provided their great service. If I were 21, I would never leave this place. Fourth : the deli. My favorite thing to order is the large Italian Submarine sandwich. It is by far the best sub you can get anywhere. It cost me $30. Gasp!!?? Not at all. I order with double meat. It weighs about 5 pounds. It's amazing, and well worth it. I have them cut it into 4 pieces. Each one is about 8 and is a meal which stuffs me. So I'm paying about $7.50 per meal. That's cheap with the super high prices since January 2020 folks. This visit they had beautiful pizza in the deli display . So I tried a couple slices of hot wings pie. Wow! Sorry pizza hut, I have a new go to pizzaria. There is a good custom non chain pizza joint around the corner but I won't be paying their high prices again. Liscio's is now my go to pizza joint, bread joint and deli. When I go grocery shopping at Sam's up the street my next stop will always be this location of Liscio's from now on."
