The Sauce Pizzeria

Great pizza , cooked perfectly for me has a little bit of char flavor but not too much great tang in the sauce and good amount of cheese on top (good cheese pull as well)

Really good and crispy, no flop with no fold

The name 'Sauce' is appropriate. The sauce is best part especially on the Gemini Pie. Good crisp and taste on the crust.

good local pizza spot good cheese sauce balance overall a good slice

The Gemini- powerful display of vodka and pesto. Awesome pie as well as the hot honey roni. A new power player in the area.

Took the trip today from Jackson, (Brooklyn square raised) just to come try the sauce! I STRONGLY ADVISE TO MAKE UR SELF AVAILABLE ASAP TO GET A TASTE OF THE SAUCE!!! It was worth every second of the drive. It was an absolute honor to have the pizza that was served to us on top of some of the greatest pizza owners u will ever meet. I am so glad I came in today! This is a TOP TWO!!! pizzeria in NJ. I am stoked to see what the future holds for the SAUCE. Thank you guys for a hell of an experience.

One of the best pies I’ve had in NJ owner is a very talented and amazing guy.

The Jersey devil or upside down blows Brooklyn Square out of the water!!! Wow the dough is soft airy and then has a tremendous crunch. All of their pizzas are incredible but this one just has that something extra. My favorite pizza in all of Jersey

Great pizza. Very unique. Sauce was perfect. Cheese tasted fresh. Decent crunch for a non bar pie. The undercarriage was also way above average. One of the best non bar pies I’ve ever had. Definitely worth the drive.

As one would expect with the name of the restaurant, ‘the sauce’ was the best part. On the sweeter side but very flavorful. This place has many different styles of pizza - the one I ordered was the Gemini Pie. Thinner crust with noticeable crisp.

The perfect undercarriage on the best bar pie ever

Absolutely unreal. 100% give it a shot

I don’t usually get too exited for pizza.. but The Sauce is DIFFERENT. It’s definitely not your average pizzeria. The owner of The Sauce, Jason put his heart and soul into that pizza and all of the Sauce Employees carry that passion with every pie they create. I went with the truffle chicken today, sooo good. Another favorite of mine is the “Gemini” with Jason’s signature dolce sweet sauce. The Sauce has been open less than a year and they are already making major noise in the pizza game. And that’s because the pizza speaks for itself!! 💯

My favorite pizzeria! Hands down the best I’ve been at. I’ve tried other locations but nothing is compared to this spot here La Sauce is fire! Great people and great atmosphere to enjoy some flavorful pizza. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

One bite screamed 9! Quintessential old school pizza you dream of….

Score is of a plain slice of the Bar Pie.

Opened in October of 2023, these are the new guys near the beach in the Jersey pizza game. Variety is the spice of life; and this joint offers no shortage of different styles. Classic regular pizza & bar pies come in mini (10”), medium (14”) & large (16”) sizes, along with Sicilian & Detroit styles both 18”, as well as Square pizzas at 22” per pie. Each style is offered in 3 different tiers of varying specialty toppings & prices. I opted for the traditional regular gold medal classic cheese pizza. An aesthetically pleasing football pie, with just a smidge of orange tinge raising a red flag for excess oil, but the grease volume was more than manageable. With a beautifully blackened & firm undercarriage, the dough has quality crisp & crunch, particularly in the wonderfully charred crust to go along with a heavily smokey coal-fired flavor bordering on burnt taste despite no coal used in the making of this pizza. The texture of the dough has a nice balance between crispy & crunchy and soft & airy. More rigid & cratered than oozy & gooey, the shredded mozzarella blend is melty but only mildly creamy. With better than average flavor, the slightly above standard cheese doesn’t make or break the pie. Moderately savory & not particularly sweet, the sauce is rather simple with a subdued & understated flavor. There’s definitely some kick & bite with the seasoning providing a touch of spice & pizzazz, suppressing the sweetness for a more savory taste. Perhaps the Gemini Pie with the Dolce sauce is the way to go if you like a sweeter pizza. Overall, the composition of this pie is very solid, with all of the ingredients & attributes working really well together. Far better than average football pizza, this pie just misses the travel-worthy cut. The other styles are likely bigger attention-grabbers; so it’s probably worth making a trip here to try a style you prefer. For a place called “The Sauce,” that component really needs to dazzle; and while all of the ingredients are very good, each of them fall short of exceptional. But make no mistake about it, this is very solid, quality pizza.

Their social media campaign is great but the pizza doesn’t meet the expectations. I had the original pie and it didn’t quite knock my socks off for all the hype. Tons of great pizza in this area and they are new to it so I wish them the best of luck. Maybe focus more time on the pies and less time amping up the views idk.

I’ve tried 3 styles so far, and they’ve all been excellent. This is the Trentonian, 1/2 sausage. Every component of the pie is terrific. Tasty and crisp crust, well balanced tomato and cheese portions. Bonus mention for fantastic sausage. Not shown: the sweet saucy Gemini and the basic plain Sauce pie were delicious too. The Sauce is The Boss.

Tried a Trentonian pizza, got a bit confused because I was trying to order a plain cheese pizza (realized after there’s a “the sauce pizza” which is their plain ‘gold standard’ pizza) Problem with plum tomato sauce is it makes the crust soggy due to liquid in the plum tomatoes. As to the pizza itself, crust had a nice chew (guessing all trumps flour or at least had the same type of chew you get from AT). Sauce rather standard, tasted like traditional canned stewed tomato with some oregano). Whole Milk Mozzarella cheese. Would be open to try the traditional pizza again and do a redo score (my mistake ordering) but score is based on the pizza I ate.

Gemini Pie - best spot in Monmouth County that nobody knows about - excellent pizza !!
