This Margherita pizza is one of the best I’ve had in Jersey. The crust hits that sweet spot thin and lightly charred with just the right amount of chew never floppy, never tough.
The tomato sauce was bright, tangy, and super flavorful, It carried so much flavor on its own and paired beautifully with the mozzarella (I think they could a bit more heavy on the cheese jk :P) and fresh basil leaves.
Another plus: it doesn’t give you that heavy “pizza coma” feeling after a slice or two.
I ordered takeout this time, but next time I definitely want to try it in-store.
Honestly, the owners should consider adding a QR code in the shop to encourage Google reviews. With pizza this good, it would help more people discover the place.

This place opened recently in Journal Square I was so excited to try it and i was so happy with everything that i have tried so far. Their pizzas are so soft and crispy at the bottom, their cookies are super soft the garlic bread is to die for. And the staff is super sweet and friendly. The vibe of the place is retro highly recommend!! They are also dog friendly!

New favorite pizza spot in Jersey City – this pizzeria blew me away! The second you walk in, you’re hit with the smell of fresh dough and roasted garlic – and that’s just the beginning. The vibe is warm and welcoming, with staff who clearly care about what they’re serving. Each pizza is a masterpiece: the dough is hand-stretched to the perfect thinness, baked to a golden crisp, and topped with high-quality, flavorful ingredients. I tried a few different pies, and each one had its own standout moment – but the balance of flavors and textures was consistent across the board. You can tell the recipes are crafted with love and a serious passion for pizza. Easily one of the best pizza experiences I’ve had in the tri-state area.

Giving 5 stars because at its price point, the pie is worth it. The pie is tasty and filling. For our first taste, we ordered the Four Cheese Pizza using GrubHub. This review is therefore relevant for a delivery order. One request for future orders is that the pizza box also come in a paper bag.

FINALLY the pizza shop JC has been waiting for. Forgot to take pics but ordered the vodka roni, artichoke, and nonna pies and I can’t even pick a favorite. Fair pricing and high quality food and service. OH. Cookies and pepperoni rolls are a must try too.

Yo, Jersey Pizza Shop is the real deal!
So flavorful, with that perfect meaty balance and quality ingredients that really pop. You can tell they care about what they’re serving.
The gelato and milkshakes are next-level — super creamy, not too sweet, just right. Great post-slice treat.
The team is super friendly and welcoming, and the place has this laid-back, clean energy. Definitely adding it to my regular rotation when I’m in Jersey City!

This place is INSANE! The crust is so thin and crispy, just perfect! Honestly, their pizza tastes better than most high-end Italian restaurants. The margherita is so fresh, it’s like they picked the tomatoes right from the garden and squeezed them right on the dough. The mushroom pizza blew me away – tastes exactly like what I had in Italy. Super friendly staff, superfast service. Best pizza I’ve had in NY/NJ! Great job, guys!

My husband and I were awaiting to try out this new pizza joint and we are sure glad we did. After living here for over 10 years, we were in search of excellent pizza after moving here from NYC. We tried many pizzerias in the area and they did not hit the spot.
We ordered the Margherita gourmet pie. It is absolutely delicious! The sauce is amazing. Very fresh. We will be regulars.
New update: we have been ordering a pie almost each week and the pies remain consistent in flavor, taste, and presentation. My son loves it here as well.
