Nellies Place

Better than mountain, but not better than much more. Crispy pita base, bland sauces. Solid local, hungover pie. Service didn’t help the cause

Great spot, Love how the pizza was very thin but wasn’t like a cracker. Crust was tasty and sauce was good. Really enjoyed it. Also the wings were solid. Nelly’s Caesar salad on point! Would visit this place again and again if I still lived in Bergen County.

Very good pizza. Paper thin, crispy, overall very nice bar pie. When it came out, I was worried about the crisp and flop since it looks pretty soupy and undercooked, but it was definitely crispy enough. Sauce is very robust and cheese is solid. Overall knocking on the door of the 8s, but could’ve used one or two more minutes

Whoa Nellie, this is one killer pie

Mmmmmm yummmm

Fantastic pizza. Awesome price. Staff was great as well.

Needed to be cooked longer

Cheese is very good, sauce can have some work make sure to add Parmesan cheese for the best experience

Me and this pizza go way back. I loves it.

Bar pie, you have to like well done thin crust, if not this isn't for you, good tang on the sauce good cheese tight pie

Was given, like, five baby slices. Bar pie is not my style. But this one was different than the others at the One Bite Fest. It's less well-done on top. It obviously has more of an actual end crust. And you can more distinctly taste the oregano and spices in the sauce. Actually like it better than the others, it also holds up better cooled down. Still not my style. This and Colony Grill were my two favorite bars from a style I dislike.

Nothing to write home about. Slice presented well, almost no flop and was just OK. Much more cheese than sauce and could have used more seasonings including a some salt.

Had to give Nellies Place a try after learning its the rival to Kinchleys. I first tried a plain fra diablo. I like the crust and structure of the slice where theres no flop. This pie is more of a cheesy pie than a saucy pie. I do tend to prefer a more saucy pie, but the cheese was tasty. I also tried the pepperoni and sausage and I gotta say the toppings blend extremely well with the cheese. The pepperoni and sausage pizza was far better than the plain fra diablo. Overall, this was a good pie, but it doesn’t reach Kinchleys level in my opinion.

Established in 1989, Nellie’s is known for their thin crust bar pies. A large pizza comes in at 14” so they’re shareable or personal sized depending on your appetite. This pizza has all the attributes of a quality bar pie, starting with a thin, cracker-like dough, along with a firm and well-charred, slightly burnt but manageable undercarriage. Terrific texture and taste from the dough, leading to outstanding crispy and quintessential bar pie crust. Somewhat thicker than typical bar pie cheese, the blend is classically rigid and tight. A decently tasty shredded cheese, it’s practically plastered on, hugging the dough tightly. The sauce is tangy and sweet but also has a hint of bitterness, likely from oregano. A somewhat simple sauce, it deceptively looks like baked ketchup; but with a fair amount of flavor and spices, it’s a quality tomato blend. The only real issue is the thickness of the cheese throwing off the balance among the dough and sauce. Either dial back the quantity of cheese or add a smidge more sauce to balance the pie better. While this is not quite destination bar pie, it’s very solid overall. This is blue collar, any day of the week, sober or drunk, quality bar pie. I really enjoyed the texture and taste; with a few minor adjustments, this pizza could easily level up. All in all, this pie lived up to my expectations but did not exceed them.

Great bar pie

Really good pizza. Thin crisp crust, cheese is a little chewy. Sauce is balanced. Great atmosphere, crazy crowded and lines waiting to get into the restaurant. Solid. Solid pie but not getting anything special.

Awesome bar pie

Not bad. No where near the same level as Kinchley's. Service was a nightmare.
