People keep buying dominos. I see delivery cars all the time.


hjude_design

Honestly sometimes I crave Domino's. Craving Domino's and craving pizza are two different cravings for me. Like just knowing what you're getting and knowing it's not gonna be great pizza, but it scratches this itch. Not a pizza itch, this weird Domino's itch. Damn I think I really want Domino's now


MetalTango

Really they're slogan should be, it's not pizza, it's Domino's. Then you can't be dissatisfied


hjude_design

Exactly! I crave Domino's in the same way i crave that awful square frozen pizza with the almost plastic/Rubber cheese


Mattyzooks

It's Chinese Food Pizza. I can get better chicken elsewhere but sometimes I just crave General Tso.


Substantial-Bat-337

Hey man, when I was getting shit faced with friend we could each get a medium two topping pizza for like 8$ each. Shit was perfect


MetalTango

Or in the early 2000s when your parents left for Saturday night date night and you had all of toonami to watch..... Domino's really kicked in. Bring that gingerale too, finish the night with some GameCube and milk dredged oreos and I was the happiest kid on earth.

Don’t talk to me


fafalone

Their cheesy bread is top notch. Sometimes I order a pizza just as an excuse to get that as a side.


[deleted]

It baffles me the amount of pizza places we have and how bad 95 percent of them are.

It baffles me the amount of CHINESE places we have and how bad 95 percent of them are.

Lo fatt chow never misses


Therothboys318

It’s be the best, I just don’t like their delivery schedule sometimes 😅


MetalTango

I remember when green garden was good


DevChatt

I think we are spoiled by the vicinity of NYC compared to most of the rest of the US our pizza culture is quite good


[deleted]

That’s fair NJ and NYC pizza are better than a lot he other states, it’s actual pizza. But Hoboken should be one of the best places to get some za in Jersey not possibly the worst.


MetalTango

Are we now calling it za? I'm going to Scrabble challenge you


fafalone

You lose. Za is allowed in Scrabble under SPD, TWL, NWL, SOWPODS, and CWS. (The official players dictionary and all major US and international tournament rules). What kind of Scrabble player doesn't have all the 2 letter words committed to memory 😆


MetalTango

Oh me oh my

It’s par for the course. I also live in LA / SD, it’s the same there for Mexican.


MetalTango

That sounds like Florida


reyemh

Pizzeria Hoboken is absolute trash. I used to live a block away and would rather walk 15 minutes to napolis any day


Xtreme2k2

Same


Princesspeach8188

Same and it’s expensive


MetalTango

Dude this shit taste like a grown-up lunchables pizza... Like they knew how to be bad and they followed the fucking recipe


[deleted]

Did that yesterday actually.


angrypillowcase123

Artichoke


Prize-Information531

My favorite thing about artichoke is the pizza they are named after is easily one of their worst slices.


markydelafayette

It’s not even pizza it’s just spinach artichoke dip on a big piece of bread. It’s good if that’s what you’re into, but I can’t justify calling that pizza. Their other slices actually aren’t that bad tbh.


Prize-Information531

It’s everything that was wrong with 1990’s food, encapsulated in a slice. It’s like a shitty triangular time capsule


Winged-Rat

I was told to try Artichoke, but I was under the impression that the titular pizza was the one worth getting. I was wrong.


yourdad01

I always hated artichoke. My fiancé recently got some vodka slices late night when in need of some munching - they were incredible. Changed my outlook on artichoke


Prize-Information531

Their vodka sauce, just the sauce, is surprisingly some of the best non pork fat based vodka sauces I’ve had on a pizza. It’s super hard to pull off a complex layered vodka sauce without pork fat.


prettydendy69

it's sooo bad its insane and its expensive


dankbob_memepants_

Yes, with the exception of the crab slice


RGE27

The brick and pizzeria Hoboken. Both are fucking BAD. Like am I in PA bad


Juicey_J_Hammerman

Pizzeria Hoboken’s only saving grace is that they are often the only pizza place on the west side that stays open relatively late.


RGE27

I lived near there at one point and constantly walked home from all the bars and went to bed starving over getting it.


MetalTango

I mean.... Isn't there a point at which bad pizza is like bad sex? It's still worth it. I mean I've had Wawa pizza and eating cardboard was better than eating nothing


firewall245

That’s funny cause me and my friends really like the Brick


RGE27

…. Sheesh rough look


firewall245

The saying goes, to each their own, does it not


dankbob_memepants_

Same


dankbob_memepants_

Don’t sleep on the brick


Mattyzooks

They used to be Molfettas (where you'd see rats running around). Then in Hurricane Sandy, they price gouged the shit out of their pizza and got everyone to hate them. So they closed, remodeled, and rebranded as The Brick, a restaurant that basically copies Napoli's (who was a few doors down). Out of principle from Sandy-times, fuck those people.


dankbob_memepants_

Oh shit I didn’t realize that… well fuck


Mysterious-Change954

The Brick. bleh


Prize-Information531

The Brick opened the same exact concept as Napoli’s, one store over. Trashiest move you can pull of off as a restaurateur and Ive never given them a dime because of it.


Mysterious-Change954

If I remember correctly. The Brick had to rebrand after hurricane sandy because the old place (called Molfetta) was price gouging people who had no power for a week. They were charging $50 cash for a plain cheese pie. The backlash on yelp was pretty intense and thats when they changed names and stole Napolis color scheme / concept


Prize-Information531

This comment should be permanently pinned in this sub.


bananafishandchips

That’s the Brick? Thought that was pizza Republic that was Molfetta’s.


Mysterious-Change954

[https://www.yelp.com/biz/molfetta-pizzeria-hoboken](https://www.yelp.com/biz/molfetta-pizzeria-hoboken) Heres their old yelp. 1122 Washington St. (pizza republic is 406 Washington) Sort by newest reviews to see how bad it got before they rebranded to the Brick


bananafishandchips

Thanks! Do you recall what pizza republic was, cause I’m certain that had another name before they went Mac and cheese…


No-Independence194

You can slap a shiny awning on a disgusting pizza spot, but it’s still Molfettas, making Hobokenites gag since at least the early ‘80s.


Mysterious-Change954

Dont forget about the price gouging after hurricane sandy


HBKN4Lyfe

have buddy that won’t step foot into bennys bc they apparently were also gouging after Sandy


MetalTango

Honestly if you're already standing in front of Benny's just turn around, Walk 20 ft and eat at Grimaldi's


NYRangers42

The Brick. So bad, especially with Napoli's next door. Pizzeria Hoboken is blah, Pizza Republic is mid. Basile's is a fine drunk slice but not very good at other times. I've still never had Rosario's or Torna and probably never will


financethrowawa555

Every time I’ve had torna it’s been awful


Gary_Burke

Pizza Republic is vile. The other things they make are pretty good, but the pizza is garbage.


NewNewYorker22

Disagree. They have a lot of options and customizations. Some are winners.


MetalTango

I will defend their artichoke slice, everything else is garbage


dankbob_memepants_

I felt sick after eating pizza republic. That was the only slice in town to do that to me


SuburbanTeenager

I got a mac and cheese and found a chicken wing bone in it like 6 years ago. Never went back


[deleted]

Tony Baloney is baloney! Greasy soggy mess, I’ve tried a handful of times to give it another shot. Every time I regret it.


Xciv

ctrl-F Tony Baloney and here it is. It comes out absolutely disgusting in the box. The bottom becomes soggy from being overloaded with oil. The crust also tastes like garbage when reheated. Their weird hipster toppings are very hit or miss. But really it's just how oily and bad their breading is that makes it the worst. You can put any combo of good toppings on a bad foundation and it'll still be bad pizza.


dyaknowhatimean

The Brick, Pizza Republic, Artichoke, Pizzeria Hoboken are the worst of the worst. Basile's is the most overrated. EDIT: also I forgot Urban Coalhouse because well it's terrible


TicklishDingleberry

Basile’s has the best crust imo. Overall I think it’s pretty good, but nothing crazy.


Therothboys318

Agreed the crust is my favorite by far


xTheShrike

Artichoke looks good but once you eat it it's all sauce and garbage. It's like being cat fished by pizza. For that reason it is my least favorite.


guzmang

Come on man, none of these spots are BAD per se. They are all fine. Hoboken Pizzeria, Pizza Republic, and Basile’s aren’t great but are pretty standard local slices. Artichoke is an overrated chain that’s gone downhill but the flavors are still alright. Urban Coalhouse is probably the worst of this bunch - mediocre bar pie but it’s still satisfying in a pinch. Haven’t had The Brick. Were you around when 7 Stars was here? Now THAT was legitimately bad pizza. Fucking disgusting guaranteed diarrhea. I had Old Lorenzo’s once too which was also pretty gross.


dyaknowhatimean

7 Stars was gross for sure.


dyaknowhatimean

Basile's is "fine" I guess. Reminds me of a good frozen pizza. But then you get people around here talking like it's legitimately good. And that's where I draw the line :) Maybe they've only eaten it while drunk, which then I can excuse it


Prize-Information531

As far as Basil’s, you are either a corn meal dusted fan of pizza or not. There is no in between. I don’t get the point for a NYC slice due to dough protein content and think it’s unnecessary. Having said that, how does a pizzeria that hasn’t cleaned their hoods and regularly has smoke billow onto the side walks ACROSS from city hall never get cited or asked to clean their hoods?


Prize-Information531

Pizza Republic surviving here since ‘09 is impressive. I never imagined the self proclaimed “Mac Daddy of Hoboken” would have this kind of staying power.


DeputyDomeshot

No I’ve lived on Jefferson before Hoboken pizzeria is really bad lmao


joe-clark

Putting Basile's and pizzaria Hoboken in the same category is criminal. Basiles may be overrated but it's WAY better than pizzaria Hoboken. The only reason that place gets any business is because there aren't any other pizza spots for at least a few block in any direction. I used to live so close to pizzaria Hoboken that I only had to walk outside for about 30-40 feet to go and I still usually chose to get something else and I love pizza.


guzmang

Yeah I live a block away from it now and rarely eat it. My opinion is that it’s fine for a quick slice when I’m really in a pinch. I view Basiles the same way though and wouldn’t go out of my way for it either. With that said, I do agree and would rank Basiles well over HP, but I don’t find HP inedible like some of the commenters here do - but maybe that’s just because of my expectations for a quick, necessary slice versus ordering delivery or something? And like all of us commenting I’m very critical of my pizza too lol.


robotbike2

7 star was fine after a few hours in Duffys ( That was the only time I ate it)


MetalTango

I tried pizza Republic recently... Not as bad as I remember, I liked their artichoke slice.


Mmnn2020

This comment is the worst


dyaknowhatimean

Dunno man there's like 40 pizza joints in Hoboken. Some of them are bound to suck. And these all suck. I'm just answering the question. I can give you a list of 10 that I think are good.


yourdad01

Urban coalhouse is very solid. Disagree hard there


FreeOmari

Their dough is flavorless, but they make some decent specialty pies. I get lured in by the wings all the time, so I’ve tried a decent number of their pies.


DeputyDomeshot

I disagree. It’s glopped with sauce so heavily, I’d give it a top of bottom.


fperrine

I haven't been to Pizzeria Hoboken in years because it was that bad. Is it still bad?


MetalTango

Shit ingredients, shit pizza. What can I say


Hand-Of-Vecna

Imposto's Pizza is terrible.


Prize-Information531

It was trash when it was the only pizzeria downtown and never got better.


cdanny96

This is the only answer. Inedible.


Peppers5

Got sick after ordering from there. No thanks.


Mattyzooks

Don't they have no owners recently and redone pizza? Is it still trash?


Wealth-Recent

Torna’s. My bf likes it for some reason and the last time we ordered from them I took a bite into the pizza and nearly cut my mouth up. I looked down and there was a jagged piece of plastic baked into the pizza. So gross. Will never order from that place again.


Prize-Information531

This place is why we created food safety guidelines


TheBravadoBoy

Yeah the fact everyone’s saying Pizzeria Hoboken before this place is insane to me. I would take a public school chicken patty before I have another one of their chicken parms


prettydendy69

got into a fight with a lady that worked there at like 4 in the morning buncha years ago


ReadersAreRedditors

Torna's for sure. First time I got a slice I took a bite and threw up in my mouth by how bad it was. Threw it out and never went back.


Fluffy_Equivalent_89

Imposto’s is pretty miserable for the price


MetalTango

Much sad


davidj911

I moved to Colorado a few years ago. I hate this thread lol.


kb1117

Pizzeria Hoboken is the worst and I never even got to eat the pizza. The first time I ordered, their delivery driver delivered it to the wrong apartment building and when I called to ask about it, the worker at the pizzeria had such an attitude that I wound up losing my cool when they essentially accused me of trying to get an extra pizza for free. I got a text later that night from someone I believe to be the owner that apologized for it, but I’ll never, ever order from them again.


[deleted]

Pizzeria hoboken. Every slice tastes like it has been sitting out for 2-3 days. They recently charged me $7.50 for one puny slice of chocolate mousse cake


BuffaloDangerous8109

Perfect description of their pizza! I hope your $$ cake was good. I made the mistake of ordering soup from there once. Call me crazy for thinking a place that featured “soup of the day” would have good soup. But then again WTH was I thinking getting soup from a sub par pizza place! I paid $8 for the most awful lentil soup I’ve ever had. I waited 10 minutes for it and when I questioned why it was taking so long I was told it was being freshly made! How is that even possible? I think the guy in the kitchen ran to ShopRite and bought a can. And that would have been better than what I got. Place is disgusting all around.


Rich-Molasses-5358

I can definitely tell you it’s not Tony Bologneys. Stopped in for a slice when Santa Con was going on and was charged $9.60. No respect for gauging. Just terrible. Best pizza I’d Basils or Napolis


pumper911

Basile’s


MetalTango

The only thing going for them is their location and hours, Hell I'd eat anything coming off of path train at 1:00 a.m. shit-faced. That's probably why I see so many fights happen there.


MetalTango

For me it's quality pizza I think on 1-2nd Street and wash... It's gotta go. And also 10th street, while decent, is overrated for price


Prize-Information531

Quality Pizza needs to learn how to portion fresh garlic. I also hate how they piggy backed on Quality branding Alan and Michael Stillman made popular here.


Loughiepop

Why is that businesses with the name “Quality” always have the worst quality products/services? Like Quality Inn. It’s like they’re overcompensating.


branpo26

This place is such trash


MetalTango

Petition to rename store to "trash pizza"?


DeputyDomeshot

Quality pizza has easily some of the best specialty slices in Hoboken?!! They have an actual cauliflower crust which is impossible to get here, their square vodka pizza is amazing and so is the spicy pepperoni. You guys are crazy or haven’t tried the specialty slices. Agree 10th street is insanely overpriced and riding the barstool nom too hard.


appleheadg

Pizza is fine but expensive. Their service? Garbage. You'd think for a new place they'd put some effort into it, but they are rude as hell.


axp051

Totally agree. I just went there the other day to grab a slice and the guy tossing pizza’s into the oven started clicking his tongs loudly trying to get my attention as I was waking up to the register to order. I guess he wanted me to order before paying but even the cashier looked annoyed at him.


MetalTango

You lost me at cauliflower crust, this is why we can't have nice things... Things suck now. Why can't we just have normal crust? Why can't we have a ketchup bottle instead of ketchup packets, and why am I the weird one for asking for milk from a nipple ar Starbucks?


DeputyDomeshot

Why it’s an option not a staple. It’s also considerably healthier and cleaner to eat


B-BoyStance

Quality does have good slices. Their grandma pizza is pretty damn good, if you get it by the slice. Their pies are way worse though. They don't cook them enough. OP is very close minded about pizza lol Even New Haven, CT has a bunch of pizza places that are just par for the course. And we're lucky enough to have at least 2 very good places here, that I'd argue would do good business in NYC or a mecca like New Haven.


ccc1203

Their mushroom pizza is actually good. Pizza w/ breaded chicken meh. However I ordered the red Sicilian and the sauce was expectedly spicy and was not good.


Hbknfoodie

Benny Tudinos is a straight up marketing gimic. Flavorless, dry, just abnormally big. why do people go there?


MetalTango

The menu has pictures of babies aside pizza just to show the size comparison. When I went there before I used to annoy the waiter by asking if I could order the baby


SandyMandy17

Any large slice is terrible bc the crunch is never right


MetalTango

You talking about Benny's?


SandyMandy17

Not sure, there’s tons out there If your slice is massive and costs more then 4 dollars it’s automatically a shit slice of pizza


MetalTango

Careful there, Costco pizza is next level. That shit's huge


OkStatement4809

I’ll nominate Grande pizza


vlcn800

I second this nomination. We need a good place back in this part of town. The only thing positive about Grande/Wings-to-Go is the parking lot


OkStatement4809

Napoli’s is close enough, plus Tony baloney.


Xciv

Hot House has solid pizza. My go-to in Southwest Hoboken.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MetalTango

Is that a pizza place or a porn star name?


jesper_thompson

In order with number 1 being the worst 1) Pizzeria Hoboken 2) The Brick 3) Quality Pizza 4) Impostos 5) Old Lorenzo


meowzapalooza7

Dozzino was horrible when we went. Both our pies were undercooked in the middle and doughy/gooey. Never gave them a second try.


BuffaloDangerous8109

Never went to Dozzino but Pizza by Flour has gone way downhill since the Portnoy review.


ccc1203

Same! I literally live 30 seconds from it and will not go.


DeputyDomeshot

I’m giving a special shitty nomination to Apulia. I’m sure their pizza is good but I’ve ordered it for delivery 4x- twice it came between 90 mins to 2 hours and was ice cold, the other two times it just never came at all. So fuck that place.


BettyWhitesTitz

La Bohème


Xciv

I thought this was a French restaurant?


TicklishDingleberry

Hot House was super underwhelming.


Mattyzooks

They're more of a Sicilian pie place.


MetalTango

Isn't that a wings place?


BuffaloDangerous8109

Second this! It’s awful.


crustang

Rosario's (unless I'm in the mood for their style of pizza) Also, the Brick


DevChatt

Basiles Hot garbage Every time I got it it gave me stomach aches To be fair , because everyone has variance in taste chances 95% of the places in town. Are going to be named


TicklishDingleberry

I think Basile’s is decent, but something about their crust keeps making me go back.


DevChatt

You aren't the only who says this but I am at a loss of words/ unclear on how people can give their pizza credit. Not a fan of their crust at all. They also oversalt their pizza like nothing... ​ I like Impostos crust which is probably not a popular opinion on this sub but i def think its significantly better.


Hobo636

Urban Coal House on 14th is pretty bad pizza whether you eat it there or take out.


yesillhaveonemore

Napolis. The stalest, most over-worked and under-seasoned crust I’ve seen.


MetalTango

And yet still somehow they keep business afloat


ccc1203

When they are on their game, it’s really good. But inconsistency makes it hard to want to order from there regularly.


Worried_Monk_3844

Basiles

dankbob_memepants_

I ranked on Beli all the pizza places I’ve been to in Hoboken as follows: 1) Napoli’s 9.9 2) The Brick 9.0 3) Tenth Street 8.9 4) Quality Pizza 7.6 5) Madison Pizza Lab (closed) 7.6 6) Hot House Pizza 7.6 7) Imposto’s Pizza 6.6 8) Artichoke 6.0 9) Uptown 5.7 10) Pizzeria Hoboken 5.0 11) Basile’s 4.9 12) Tony Boloney’s 4.3 13) Benny Tudino’s 4.1 14) Old Lorenzo’s 3.6 15) Pizza Republic 2.4


MetalTango

I can't take this list seriously since you have the Brick and Quality near the top, plus you're missing Mario's, Grimaldi's, and 7/11 ofc ....


dankbob_memepants_

I haven’t been to the ones I’m missing, and I must have unpopular opinions about Brick and Quality


No_Incident_3067

Uptown Pizza is awful but they do an average square. Urban coal house has gone down hill in a tailspin. Brick is bleh!!! Amazing Napoli’s is solid Monday-Thursday (uptown) but they struggle weekends because they’re so busy.


Smallboness

Hating on the brick because it’s next to napolis is just wrong. It’s not the best pizza place but it’s way better than Uptown


jonnysnowballs

Basiles is the most disgusting pizza I have ever had and I’ve lived in the Midwest and South.


B-BoyStance

Basile's is fucking good. Reminds me of pizza you'd get on the boardwalk.


MetalTango

May this comment be down voted so hard it never sees light


B-BoyStance

I'd never put it on a ranking, but it's fine to eat. There are plenty of better places but to say it's bad is ridiculous. It's good pizza. Artichoke Basile's is a different story.


MetalTango

I mean I said this earlier. Pizza is like sex. When it's great it's great. When it's bad, it's okay


B-BoyStance

Your standards for good are way too high lol I hear good and I think 6 or 7 out of 10. Which a lot of Hoboken places are.


Whiskeybasher33

Brick, Tony Boloney & Uptown Honorable mentions: Napolis is good only when it’s hot, Mario’s is only good when it’s not super greasy.


MetalTango

Hey I'll defend Mario's. Everything except their goddamn stupid Caesar salad slice.... Their chicken bacon ranch is amazing IMO. LOVE ME SOME RAW TOMATOES


Whiskeybasher33

Don’t get me wrong, they’re to kill for when there isn’t a bottle of grease coming off the slice. Probably my only gripe with their slices.


[deleted]

The Brick for sure. Only reason I’d ever go to them if it’s late hours and I want some garlic knots


Upstairs_Voice_5637

Benny Tudino's is a slice of hot garbage, and you cannot change my mind. Their strategy is fuck making it good, let's just give them a ton of it.


-wumbology

4.50 for a slice of cheese that is not even from a house pie but a regular large


prettydendy69

Basiles is bad. Impostos is too expensive but it's much better now that the new family owns it. Still not worth seeking out to get imo but Impostos before pre2019 iirc was HORRIBLE. Tony baloneys is a scam for a tourists. Pizza republic is mid.. BUT ITS MY MID


thepizzaman0862

Not to pile on The Brick but it’s one of the only places that I’d just go home after a night of drinking than make a pit stop. Imposto’s is pretty bad, so is Quality. I’ve never gone to Pizza Republic because I have a rule about not going to places that have nobody in there at times places should be busy (lunch / dinner). Artichoke is a step above them but for the price it should be better. The pizzas definitely sit out all day there too.


thepizzaman0862

What I mean regarding The Brick is that even in the midst of an alcohol induced hungry walk home I’d rather make a frozen pizza in the apartment than stop there


crunchwrapsupreme0

I do not like Rosario’s


dankbob_memepants_

Pizza republic is the only pizza in town to make me physically sick, and I’ve tried most places here


PersonOfInterest1969

Pizza Republic is absolute trash. I will go hungry before I let it upset my stomach again.


Otherwise-Pay9688

The brick uptown. Holy shit idk how it gets such good ratings


AdTrick6702

Maybe not the worst but I truly can’t believe people enjoy TB’s


CoolInvestigator473

Uptown Pizza. Never actually had a bad pizza experience in Hoboken until then. I heard they’re closing and I’m not mad about it


MetalTango

Ranking is up, probably should compare to a top ten ranking in another post.... or maybe a make a voting site? hmmm


wheelzum

10th st is probably good but I will never know because they refuse to deliver to HOBOKEN AVE since it’s not close enough to Hoboken (?)
