There's something about a family-owned restaurant that really tops going to any chain restaurant. Fortunately for us, in Jersey, there are lots of great locally owned restaurants and pizzerias for us to choose from.

What sets a family-owned restaurant apart, in my opinion at least, is that you're not just another dollar sign, but rather, a guest who feels welcomed, and like you're part of the family during your meal.

In Red Bank, there's one family-owned restaurant and pizzeria that's been making a name for itself for well over four decades, and is showing no sign of slowing up any time soon!

They're whipping up some of the best Grandma Pies in Red Bank, with varieties such as the Drunken Grandma, which features fresh vodka sauce, the Angry Grandma, which is topped with Fra Diavolo sauce, and the Bruschetta Grandma, which, of course, is topped with fresh bruschetta.

It's the kind of place where you feel like you're part of the family while you're dining there, and of course, you're encouraged to bring your favorite wine or beer.

When it comes to keeping it local and focusing on the community in Red Bank, nobody is doing it better than Fratelli's Pizzeria and Restaurant.

Fratelli's may also have one of the best lunch specials around; nine bucks will get you a steak sandwich, or a BBQ chicken wrap, or a broccoli and cheese stromboli, or stuffed rigatoni. And those are just some of this week's specials. Fratelli's comes up with tons of nine-dollar lunch specials each week, and they're not only going to satisfy your stomach, but your wallet will be happy too.

Check out Fratelli's for yourself at 480 NJ 35 South, in Red Bank.

Dave Portnoy, commonly known as El Presidente, is the founder of Barstool Sports. Somewhere along the way, he decided to start reviewing local pizzerias, and the concept took off. This isn't the entire list, but it's a small sample to get you started.
