Pizza Review
Genuinely surprised, the reviews for this place were high and I went in skeptical. I’m not the biggest fan of thin but the balance was great, the bottom was nice and crispy and the top was soft with a great balance of cheese and sauce. The sauce was sweet with a nice tanginess. There was a good amount of cheese where you get some in every bite. I had a signature slice and it left me wanting more. Definitely a place I would recommend and if you are in town go here for sure.
Pizza Review
With locations also in Staten Island and Matawan, NJ, Round Pie Pizza Company appears to be an expanding franchise, but not like Domino’s, Papa Johns, or Little Caesars pizza chains; this is quality pizza. Having originated in Staten Island I believe, the taste & texture of this pie is strikingly similar to Denino’s. But unlike Denino’s more “football style pizza,” these slices are razor thin, dough has tremendous taste & texture and a mega crispy, crunchy crust that will knock your socks off. Seems like a semolina seeded or corn meal undercarriage that keeps the pie dry & moisture free. The flop is minimal, just a tad floppy near the top of each slice due to the weight of the sauce & cheese. This is somewhat of an “upside down pie,” with splotches of sauce atop the cheese, not blanketed underneath. A smidge greasy from the butter fat in the whole milk cheese, but very manageable. With a combo of chunky tomatoes and a puréed blend, the sauce is super sweet, kind of similar to Sunday gravy (real Italians know 🇮🇹 🤌🏻) that you’d put on pasta. Even though the sauce could use a pinch more spice, it’s very solid overall. The cheese is top quality, well-melted, creamy and delicious. In summation, the texture of the pie is tremendous with taste to match, crispy & flavorful, not cookie-cutter, generic, crappy chain pizza…this is “off the chain” pizza! While I’m not sure about the other locations, I can vouch for Old Bridge. Great style and service overall, top-notch pizza worth traveling for; I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
