Cooking your own dinner can be fun, but sometimes your couch is calling and your kitchen is not. In those cases — it’s takeout to the rescue! With services like Seamless, Doordash, UberEats, and so many more on the rise, delivery is now more available than ever. Of course, it’s always best to order directly from the restaurant when possible to avoid them having to pay additional third-party fees. Read on for an ever-growing list of Montclair restaurants that will deliver directly to your front door.
