We just tried out the new pizza place in the former La Rustique on Morris St. at Washington. WOW. We got a red and white. Everything about it was spectacular. They have pasta as well, anyone tried that yet? But seriously, one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Super fast, and friendly. Kudos!

I really love Rizzo's on Central Ave. I had a slice there this week for the first time and will honestly say it ranked up there with Napolitan pies. Plus they guy was spinning dough when I walked in and no one was around- bonus! Since "best" is so relative I'm going to break it down according to my criteria.
Crust: thin, crisp, firm, browned. Crunchy but not chewy. Sauce: light, not oozing all over the place- no lumps. Sweet, but not overpowering; balanced in the sense that you don't know it's there. Cheese: uniform and not overly greasy, well cooked but not stiff Portions: HUGE! Seriously. 2 bucks for two meals Plus it's a family joint, and their pasteries are really excellent. Fresh (I mean really frensh) sfogliatelle. :)

I have yet to find truely great pizza in JC, but I tried Singhas pizza in JSQ last week and it was surprisingly good. It was more a deep dish style pizza than NY style for those who are picky, and the toppings were excellent. I can honestly say that it was the best spinach pizza I ever had, but more importantly the pepperoni was good too. As an added bonus, it was cheap and they deliver downtown.
I haven't had HPP since the ownership changed, but I remember that it was good for eat in and lousy if delivered. And the Mexican pizza was actually spicy.

If you are downtown, Hamilton Park Pizza on 7th and Brunswick. I'm sorry for that other reviewer, may have tried them when the cook was out sick, but the food is excellent. The sicilian is light and crispy. I've never had better Chicken Francaise in my life it is sooooo lemony and sauced right. I've had it at Casa Dante and I was very disappointed. They served it with soggy pasta with marinara. Oh no, HPP served al dente pasta sauced in the Francaise sauce that clung to the pasta and just enough extra to drip. And the Penne Vodka is OMG to die for. I'm never ordering Italian anywhere else again, once I got turned on to HPP. (except for subs at Monmouth Deli)

Just tried a new place last night - Sal's Pizza and Pasta on Palisades in the Heights (right across from Fisk Park) and was very pleasantly surprised. Can't necessarily judge the place on one good experience, but very nice crispy thin crust, great tasting sauce and well blended with the cheese. Reminded me of the slices I used to get growing up on Staten Island. Better than all I've tried here including Gino's, Vinnies, and Pizza Master on Central. Worth a shot.

Don't know what has happened to Gino's lately, but their grandma pie has changed, and that's not a good thing.
It's either the sauce (not as sweet as it once was) or they aren't oiling up the pans with enough olive oil, hence making the crust extremely dry.

I'm eating a slice from Grandma's truck right now. It is the best. It's outside Plaza 10 on Hudson St., across the street from the north end of the Harborside Light Rail Station.

Does anyone know if the Grandma's truck is still around. Haven't seen it. Not only is that the best pizza in JC, but it's the best pizza I've ever had. When I ate it I couldn't believe it was produced in that truck!

Bertucci's is decent, but Rustique wins.

The nature of pizza, and it?s appreciation, is that you always love the Pizza from the location of your birth. I grew up in Buffalo N.Y., so for me the perfect pizza has a rich robust spongy and thick crust. I could never ?love? pizza in the New York City area, it?s one of the sacrifices I made when I moved here from Western New York. Don?t get me started on chicken wings! On that subject it?s like I?m the only man that can see in the land of the blind.
But anyway. I will vote for ?Three Guys From Italy? for best J.C. pizza. But oh. The vast gulf I had to traverse to say so much. The new location is just part of the growing pestilence of the Journal Square area. The illegally parked cars in front of it?s new location at a strategic Journal Square crosswalk will probably literally kill me one day.

I have and it was good, but do they still have horrible hours? They used to close at 8pm on weekdays and not open at all on weekends. My theory is, if you don't cater to the residents, we won't cater to you.

Anyone tried Pizza Alla Gargiulo on Greene Street (at the end of Montgomery) near Exchange Place? I've heard it's delicious, thin-crust yumminess, but the tip came from a slightly nutty woman who is friends with the family. I haven't made the trek down there yet.

Not the best for sure but Bertucci's on Washington Boulevard is better than the glop from Helen's, Stella's etc. You gotta do the city for great pie.

I'm assuming you mean the original Vinnie's up in the Heights near the fruit & vegetable market on Kennedy ? If so their Sicilan slices are good, they taste like the ones from years ago. The only thing missing is the grape drink from the fountain, I guess the Snapple Grape will have to do

USED to be HP Pizza! Not anymore. They switched owners sometime last year and the pizza hasn't been the same. I've ordered a couple more times but it was not as good. I always got the Frankie 5, but now for that price it's not worth it. For me, it's all about the crust.
Now I just settle for the buono appititti place and just stick to cheese and pepperoni.

Best Pizza Downtown --- it is a tie between Hamilton Park Pizza on 7th and Brunswick and Buon Appetite on Grove.

I'm a regular at Gino's in the Heights. Their grandma pie is excellent, so is their white pie... and I like the fact that it's family-run.

The girlfriend and I ventured out to Vinnies tonight since a lot of you guys seemed to like it. The Sicilian was excellent, and the Neopolitian was so so.
Not a bad pie, and it sure beats any of the crap they serve in Hoboken - for way less money.

I grew up in Greenville/Westside area.
My Top 3 (dead or alive): 1. 4 brothers pizza, very good pizza, great dough.......it's actually made by the owners wow (rare) 2. Vinnies III, I lived across the street, always had a decent slice with alot of cops lol 3. 3 Brothers in JSQ Now I'm in the Heights, haven't tried them all since I cook everyday. But so far, tried Vinnies (edible) and Pizza Masters (WTF..too much hype). Any people born/raised in the Heights recommend a good slice in the Heights? I tend to notice the quality of pizza depends on who makes it or who runs the place. I prefer family run pizzerias with the actual owners making the sauce. Maybe it's just me.
