What is Jersey style pizza? not sure if I get that...

Been there a couple of times this week and overall its been very good. Really liked the pie, good Jersey style pizza. Chicken dishes have been more good then bad. Will try the rest. and bar soon.

Made a detour to pick up a sandwich there, nothing out of the ordinary. I'll stick with Buon Appetito when I want something sloppy and tomatoey.

They have menus with prices in the pizzeria. Nothing shocking.

What makes a bar douchey - vinegar and water cocktails?

Haha! My thoughts exactly. Hopefully it does work.

I always feel like places are trying to hide somethign when they don't list prices online. Shady tactic.

i'll wait until they grace their menu with some prices before i order delivery from them

The pizzeria menu looks good I'll give it a try.

The reason most high end restaurants have a limited menu is that by over extending a kitchen staff to produce a large variety of food, the food itself cannot be well prepared, particularly fresh, or all up to the same standard.

Completely unfounded first impression.

Possible highlights:
- The pizzas at the "restaurant" (although not the "pizzeria") seem to be a nice change of pace from the usual
- The rest of the menu seems solid. A place that focuses on high-quality local ingredients does not typically have so many different things on the menu so I guess that's a plus.

Possible lowlights:
- The bar has the potential to be incredibly douchey. As in like a supernova of the most obnoxious Meatpacking drinks list and an overdone, hyperkinetic version of a sports bar. But I'd give it the benefit of the doubt, maybe they somehow made it work.
- It's hard for a kitchen that's pumping out 60 different menu items, half from your traditional "pizzeria" menu and half from their very different "restaurant" menu, to do everything well.

I may check it out and see how well they've pulled it off. Yelp reviews look good, although there is a 95% chance that one of them was a shill since it basically reads like it was written by a PR person.

VB3 -- the new slice joint, seasonal Italian restaurant and late-night cocktail lounge in the Newport section of Downtown Jersey City -- is officially open.
Located at the base of the Monaco building at 475 Washington Blvd., between the Westin and Doubletree hotels, VB3 is an off-shoot of Woodbridge's Villa Borghese Pizzeria. Here, it's given a modern update by chef Mike Colletti, best known for his role in opening two of the Obamas-frequented D.C. lunch spots, Good Stuff Eatery and We the Pizza.
After filling a void in D.C.'s casual dining scene, Colletti is doing the same in a neighborhood where there's a wide gap between the casual fare at the Newport Centre mall food court and surrounding chain sandwich shops and the upscale dining at Fire & Oak, Michael Anthony's and even newly opened Skylark on the Hudson, a sophisticated update of the original Edison diner. It's also the rare example of a small, local, family business filling a vacancy in one of Newport's fast-rising residential towers, which have filled with tenants much more rapidly than they have with storefronts.Extra Cheese
