-Now Closed- Sal's Gourmet Pizzeria & Restaurant, Hillsborough, NJ

Date: 4/22/2017
Location: Hillsborough, NJ
Pizza Ordered: Plain & Margherita
Website: [Expired Domain]
​Phone: (908) 369-6944


Sal's Pizza is located in the CVS mall near Auten Road Intermediate School along Triangle Road. This pizzeria has ample parking and a very nice setting to sit for a lunch or dinner with a group or a date. The staff is generally friendly and the owner goes out of his way to make the customer enjoy their experience. He once hooked me up with an extra Sicilian slice to take back to the college dorm with me.

The pizza is decent with a good sauce to cheese ratio and a thin, fairly crispy base. The crust had good flavor and was more of the fluffy variety. Nothing offensive about the plain slice, it was a good, middle of the road pick as far as Hillsborough is concerned. The Margherita slice really stood out as quality. The sauce seemed to have even better flavor than the plain slice and the cheese was especially fresh and delicious. The crust was of the thin, crispy variety and reminded me of similar Brooklyn thin crust slices I've enjoyed in the past. It was definitely a hit. Bonus points for stocking Stewarts sodas, which I find pair very nicely with a good slice of pizza.

Italy's Restaurant & Pizzeria, Phillipsburg, NJ

Date: 6/21/2019 Location: Phillipsburg, NJ Pizza Ordered: Plain, White, and Sicilian Website: https://italysrestaurant.com/#home Italy's is a small local pizza joint that has the appearance of your typical neighborhood pizzeria. Lovely paintings of Italy adorn the walls and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. I was extra hungry, so I went with my usual plain slice and added a white slice and a Sicilian slice. The meal came with complimentary bread that was pleasantly fluffy and had a good mix of herbs and spices on it. The plain had pretty decent sauce and cheese and the charred crust was good, but a bit burnt in some places. The white was very fluffy with a good helping of cheese. The square slice had really great sauce and parmesan and a nice amount of fluff to the base. Overall, I would say Italy's puts out a good average slice of pizza.

PJ's Grill & Pizza, New Brunswick, NJ

Date: 12/18/2016 (and later: 12/31/2016) Location: New Brunswick, NJ Pizza Ordered: Plain and Chicken Bacon Ranch, then Plain and Buffalo Chicken Website: http://www.pjsgrill.com/ PJ's Grill is located on Easton Avenue in the epicenter of the Rutgers night-life. Sitting between College Avenue Campus and a large population of off-campus housing, this pizzeria is one of the most popular in the Rutgers are. I've had many friends express their opinions to me that PJ's Grill is among the best pizza in New Brunswick. There is more room for seating than most pizzerias in the area and there is usually a large selection to choose from when deciding on a slice to eat. While the establishment lacks in parking, there is some available on Easton Avenue and the nearby streets, though most of the customers are within walking distance to their house. Despite the praises by many, the pizza is pretty average. The plain slice is fairly decent with fresh cheese and good quality sauce. The ...

Date: 03/13/2017 Location: Robbinsville, NJ Pizza Ordered: Plain Tomato Pie Website: www.papastomatopies.com/ Before I review this pizzeria, you should know that Papa's Tomato Pies is considered the oldest family owned pizzeria in the United States and has ranked very high, if not the best on most national and New Jersey top pizzeria lists. The history and rankings definitely contribute to the hype surrounding this pizzeria and I am here to tell you that they are well deserved. Papa's Tomato Pies is a cash-only, pizzeria that does have an ATM on site and ample parking outside what looks to be a typical house. There is a very nice seating area and a separate section for takeout. The staff is very polite and friendly and the service is relatively quick. The pizza is definitely some of the best I've ever had. The sauce is delicious with fresh, flavorful tomatoes and delightfully rich cheese that stretches nicely when you pull a slice from the pie. The base of the pizza is c...
