Dave gave the round pie a score in the mid 7’s but that isn’t why you come to this place. You come here for the Square Pie period. Growing up slightly fat in an Italian household means I’ve had my fair share of pizza and am very picky with 1. Sauce and 2. Dough/Crust/Crunch. (I feel like the cheese almost anyone can get right as long as they dont’t buy cheap). This has the best square pizza in the Hudson County area hands down. Their pepperoni is also excellent (let’s hope so based on the name). Overall, my 9.1 is for a well done, Square Pie w/ pepperoni - you will not be disappointed.

The flavor of this pie is DOMINATED by the cheese blend. Shredded mootz, pecorino romana, sprinkles of Parmesan and what appears to be a white spot of melted buffala mozzarella, gives this pizza a super cheesy taste. So much so, it overpowers the sauce which comes off as a bit salty and a bland tomato paste. Even the chopped basil and olive oil struggles to bring out the flavor of the sauce which could use more spices & garlic. For a thin crust pie, it’s actually a bit doughy. It also doesn’t have that signature taste you find in bread or dough made with Hoboken water. While the crust has decent crisp, it could definitely be crispier. Overall, it’s not a bad pie; I just expected better. Spice up the sauce and crisp up the dough and you could be looking at high 7s, low 8s.

Vesuvius!!! What a grease ball pie. Not much crisp either. Could've left it in the oven a few more min. Overall, pretty good though even with the grease, but pretty basic.

Went with the namesake. I really like their sauce a lot. Lot of flavor. Sweet but not too sweet. Fresh cheese. Thin, crispy crust. Loses points on the flop, too soft / mushy undercarriage, and would be better a little more well done. Definitely top 10 in Hoboken, but probably just missed top 5

Good slice a little messy though

Sweet and salty. Very solid.

Johnny Pepperoni Hoboken one bite everybody knows the rules loved the interior of this place service was great side dishes very good pizza was good but didn’t care for parmesan cheese on top gonna have to go back and give it another try

Great crisp, thin, just a tad too salty and not a fan of the extra sprinkle of cheese they always add

With every bite you can taste multiple flavors. Crust crunchy on the bottom and soft on top. Super cheesy and not a little greesy from the olive oil

Square pizza is on point! Great cheese and sauce, crust just right. The chicken parm slices were legit too. Made it into the list of Hoboken 8s. Rice balls were terrible though.

FUCK THE ROUND PIE. The square pie is the way to go here. Easily one of the best, maybe the best square pie I’ve ever had. Crust was out of this world, with mozzarella like it came from a cow milked 6 hours ago.

Great Great Great

Cheese was knocked all around on the pie but really good otherwise.

Square Pie is phenomenal.

Best pizza in Hoboken. Decent flop. Excellent ingredients. Crispy flaky crust. For a special treat get half chicken parm.

Plain classic w/ basil, garlic and olive oil. 👌🏼
