4 Brother Pizza on Westside Avenue has to be one of the best and long time family run favorite.

best pizza in jersey city is..

drum roll please...

3 guys from italy... that pizzeria that used to be outside the path in jsq is now on kennedy blvd. it was a while that they were gone, but i'm sure they are back.

me and my girlfriend LOVE pizza and we've been to many places in jersey city trying to discover the best slice...

some other notable favorites:

-4 brothers (westside and communipaw)
-la rustique (downtown)
-vinnie's (danforth)

just so you guys know i've been around these are the places i've tried:

romanos (westside & union)
prince of pizza (bergen and montgomery)
stadium pizza (440)
larry & joes (newark ave)
pizza masters (heights)
ginos (heights)
hamilton cafe (downtown)
carmines (not sure where, but i've been there)
franks (downtown)
century pizza (bergen & fairmount) *vomits*

and i've been to other places just don't remember the names and locations off the top of my head

btw... benny tudinos in hoboken is soo overrated.

Quote:

Helens is horrible pizza at best, how this place stays in bussiness is trully a miracle....

I tried Helen's and thought it was disgusting but maybe b/c I just went in and grabbed a slice and ate it there, I've never ordered a pie fresh but have no plans to after trying a simple slice. I think La Rustica is better fresh too than just stopping and grabbing a slice, at least I know it's fresh, I watch them make pizza all day there.

Buon Appetito delivers to Bergen-Lafayette. I order from them all the time---and consider their pizza among the best in JC.

I second r_pinkowitz (or maybe i'm thirding or fourthing by now). Pizza Masters is pretty good.

However, we just moved from San Francisco, where the very best pizza is really not so great, so it may take my taste buds some time to be able to discriminate between good and bad pizza on the greater NYC area pizza stage.

Tonight I wanted pizza but I got home at 11pm. SOOOOOOOOOOO

I ordered Dominos. I KNOW! I WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF BUYING A FROZEN PIZZA.

Still, I did get it in 30 minutes.

It wasn't really pizza, per se. It was Dominos.

This place is a serious contender:

Sorry but Gino's in the heights is awesome. I would never refer you Frank's!

I've never been to John's but it has received a lot of rave from the community- I need to make my way there.

In downtown, I'd rather you go to Stella's on Grove Street and Christopher Columbus or 3 boys(next to Franks).

But Gino's is the best pizza I've had hands down.

frank's famous pizza,and his gourmet menu on mounmouth street,between 3rd and 4th sts. zack

La Rustique hands down.

I finally stopped by the new Buon Appetito location on Grove Street today. I indulged in a slice of pizza topped with pepperoni and it was fantastic!

Here's what was even cooler -- I was surprised that the two guys behind the counter immediately recognized me.

It took me a moment, but then I realized they were the really nice pair of Egyptian brothers who used to operate Esperanto's a few years back right by the end of my block!

After they sold the establishment to another family, I felt Esperanto's pizza -- while still edible and very convenient to my home -- went downhill pretty darn fast.

It turns out that, for the last couple of years, the brothers were working out at a place in Queens, but now they're quite happy to be back here as part of Buon Appetito's expansion from Bayonne into Jersey City.

In my opinion, Buon Appetito's pizza is a heck of a lot better than the handful of pizza places I've tried while living in Downtown Jersey City over the last 7 years.

I look forward to grabbing a slice from there again soon (and maybe a sandwich and a salad too).

YUM!

Rustique is my top choice.

2nd choice, believe it or not, for a no-frills pie, is Stella's.

(John's = YUCK)

Without a doubt, it's John's on Sussex. Been there three times since they opened and it's been great each time.

Sorry to tell you this but to all you JC transplants, and those of you who refuse to travel too far from your little neighborhoods, but I've eaten in them all. Been around since Larry and Joe owned and worked in Larry and Joe's when Three Guys from Italy ( the original one, by the way they were the best back then, they just didn't deliver ) was on journal square and when Villagio's was on route 440 and I remeber Vinnie from Vinnie's on Kennedy Blvd in the heights (before he met his untimely passing ). Best pizza now is definitely Stella's on grove, best Italian food Carmine's on Mallory, Best grilled chicken sub Larry and Joe's on Newark ave. Best Italian deli Andrea's on Central ave. Runner's up Carmine's on Brunswick makes agood pie and the Italian food is pretty good. Another good pie is at Vincent's on Kenndy blvd and Linden ave, they deliver late anywhere in the city( good for the summer too sometimes he's open til 3am). So for all you people who don't know anything other than Christopher Columbus and Washington Blvd,break out the phone book and you can look on the maps or just look them up and try them out before you tell me how great NY pizza is and Hoboken pizza is, which in my opinion is too thin and not cook enough, and what ever jar sauce he is using please switch. Check them out and give me your opinion.

forgot to mention the Grandma's Pizza truck that can be found outside Harborside Financial Plaza 10 on weekdays between 11 and 3. It's the best pizza I've actually had since moving to jersey from long island

I grew up on Gino's and Pizza Master's pizza and both of them are great. Yet the real underdog in the heights is def. Rizzo's.

They have HUGE "Benny Tudino's"-style slices that are great. And it's easier to find parking at their location which is across the street from Pershing Field.

Not to mention as previously posted Central Ave. Liquors next door, who has a selection that could rival Sparrow's in Hoboken.

Carmine's.

Carmine's without a doubt.

In my sorta new to JC totally not expert opinion:

Lisbon Pizza, no contest.

Gino's Pizza is The Best.........without a doubt.

La Rustique

in the heights:

Pizza Masters on Central near Hutton.

Amazing - comparable to Brooklyn pizza.

I just moved to the heights, and I'm going to put in a vote for Gino's on Central Ave. The Margherita is awesome, and the 6 topping special is the real deal if you're feeling super-indulgent.

Laicos is my favorite thin crust by far. And I prefer Stadium to Vinnie's 3 and Vincents.

Havent tried many places but
PRINCE OF PIZZA on BERGEN AVE
is pretty good

Had occasion to revisit Stellas recently and must say the pizza was pretty damn spectacular.
Perfect balance of sauce and cheese. The sauce in particular was a delight to my tastebuds, slightly sweet but not offensively so.
