We’ve all been there before, starting the day with ambitions of cooking a delicious dinner that same night, but as soon as we get home from work plans change.

Instead, make things a little easier (and tastier) for yourself. Why not try out some of the best takeout Hunterdon has to offer? With options ranging from Italian to Mexican, to sushi and pizza, there’s enough variety to keep any weeknight dinner exciting. Plus, no dirty dishes; a true win-win.

Italian: Al Fresco’s (Flemington)

Some nights nothing is more comforting than a big plate of Italian food. Al Fresco’s in Flemington serves up traditional entrees like baked ziti and ravioli alongside specialties like rosemary garlic chicken served over spaghetti and salmon Portofino served in a brandy lobster sauce. Their authentic family recipes will fill your home with the smell of a great home-cooked meal, just with none of the work!

Mexican: El Molcajete Mexican Restaurant (Flemington)

What’s better than authentic Mexican food that is equal parts delicious and affordable? Probably nothing. If you’re looking for a great meal that won’t break your budget look no further than El Molcajete Mexican Restaurant. Their menu is pretty extensive but it’s their chimichangas and empanadas that get rave reviews from customers.

Pizza: Sorella’s Pizzeria (Whitehouse Station)

Pizza night is a staple for many of us so why not indulge in the best Hunterdon has to offer from Sorella’s Pizzeria? This family-run business has pizzas for every taste including arugula salad, baked ziti, Hawaiian, and even German pizza. The best part is you can’t go wrong with any option – plus their appetizers and salads round out the perfect night in.

Sushi: Bamboo House (Frenchtown)

Can’t decide between Thai or Japanese – at Bamboo House, you won’t have to. This Frenchtown staple has some of the best sushi in town while also offering some of your favorite Thai classics like Pad Thai, vegetable curry, and mango shrimp. You are going to want to save room for dessert too since Bamboo House also has some great after-dinner treats like mochi and tempura ice cream.
