Ashley Grace Builders completes Restaurant Build in Wharton, NJ

Ashley Grace Builders has just finished a comprehensive rebuild of a popular Italian restaurant in Wharton, New Jersey. Reno’s Pizzeria Ristorante (formerly Maria's Pizzeria and Restaurant), has been a favorite to locals for years. The project included a full-scale renovation and addition of a dining room, brand new state-of-the-art commercial kitchen, and ample food storage.



The team at Ashley Grace Builders brought over 25 years of experience in high-end renovations to the job. The project required coordinating new structural elements, updated lighting, a refreshed customer-flow layout, and upgraded food-service infrastructure — all completed on schedule and within budget. With the rebuild complete, the restaurant is ready to welcome patrons into a refreshed space that enhances ambiance and functionality alike.

This project stands as a strong example of Ashley Grace Builders’ ability to execute commercial renovations, complementing their longstanding residential work in Morris County and surrounding counties.
