This is not the nicest pizzeria I've been to and yet, it's a go-to for us for a few reasons. Atmosphere is simple but homey and kid friendly. The menu is pretty limited for an Italian restaurant but has all the essentials. The pizza is unique, super fresh dough, fresh mozzarella with a chunky sauce sparingly sprinkled on top and the brick oven flavor really comes out. If you're looking for something different and enjoy a bit of Brooklyn attitude then you have to try this place but bring cash because they don't take anything else.

Finally crossed this one off the list. Have heard nothing but great things about their pizza! Did not disappoint. Great crust, perfectly cooked.Sauce,cheese both outstanding. Reminder for anyone just trying it out.This is a cash only shop and no slices just pies.

Was in the area and stopped by on a late Saturday afternoon for a take-out large cheese pie. Was told there'd be a 30 minute wait for the $20 pie which was fine. We paid, then ran and errand and came back and waited a few minutes more for our pizza. We finally got our pizza in a take-out pizza paper bag?! no box?! That's something new.We got home and threw the pizza in the oven for a bit...it didn't keep hot/warm despite out short 10-minute ride home. The pper pizza bag maybe?! The heated pizza was very good...very authentic and tasted fresh. Though, there wasn't much flavor in the sauce nor cheese. Definitely could have used some salt/oregano/basil...The crust was one of the best crusts I've ever had.The space itself is nice with lots of tables. The menu has typical pizza restaurant menu items including pizza and various pastas.Parking lot there with a few parking spots but it was full when we stopped by on Saturday afternoon.All the staff we encountered were nice, patient and friendly, despite being really busy with both in-person patrons and managing phone orders. All staff seemed to be hustling and working hard, which is always nice to see. Kudos to them.

One of the best pizza places in Northern NJ. Highly recommend. I’ve tried almost all of the menu items but my top recommendations are the pepperoni pizza and the homemade fried mozzarella. Great staff. Be aware of the waiting times for pick-up during the weekend which can be as long as an hour.

Very disappointing. Call today to order out they said it’s an hour wait no problem not mad at that. The problem is when the pizza gets home it’s cold and it seem like The pizza was done way before the hour and they made me wait that long for no reason. On top of that it’s pricey and I don’t even get a cardboard box for the pizza? No wonder my pizza was cold how is it going to stay warm in a thin paper bag or whatever that is.

Get with the times no cash ? It’s like saying we don’t accept payment. And I get cases are lower however vaccined or not wear a mask when searching food ! It’s the law in NJ.when around food preparing. The pizza cheese and tomato pizza which says cheese I thought tasted like cheese pizza. I’m not racist but even the server that served us drinks I asked are u vaccinated she goes no. I’m like really in my head I’m like then wEar a mask. Usually take out food places require cash. So we just left after eating here went with my mother In Law and wife the server was rude and laughed when we asked if the staff were vaccinated one skinny Latino lady spoke in Spanish and made fun of us after giving us a dirty look and was like we ate all vaccinated but I she decide to wear a mask. The server ignored my mother in law when she asked for little ice please she laughed and walked away after asking if the staff were vaccined little did they know I understood what the lady said about us in Spanish she said I think it’s funny that they ask me if I’m vaccinated those dumb people but in Spanish is different then English translation . It didn’t make A scene however then when we go to pay the waiter stated no cash then stated you can go across the street to quick and come back if you like we’re like what ? Who pays in cash anymore I bet many people make the mistake of not knowing they don’t take cash. nowhere did I see anything about cash only when I left it was a tiny sign that said no cash and was blurry. Please get with the times get a damn machine for payment or use Venmo cashapp ot even square reader you get funds instantly

We've picked up from this location a few times and it never compared to the Edgewater location. This was the last straw. We come home and literally a chunk of the slice is missing. How do you mess up and still give the pizza to the client. From now on we'll go somewhere else. Edgewater employees please move to the Hackensack location.

Their pizza is really good. If you want thick crust, it is not your place to eat. Appetizers are also good

Best pizza place in my area tbh. Dough is really great, soft but not chewey, sauce is a bit sweet but balanced with saltiness from the fresh cheese (lumps of fresh mozzarella, not the industrial shredded, low moisture cheese product most places use). It costs a bit more than your regular town pizza place (about $20 for a regular pie) but well worth it. Less is more. The appetizers are sub par, and not worth the money. Just regular frozen stuff, reheated in a fryer. Try the pizza, it's great.
