Part 3 of of union township food discoveries. &pizza offers you to build your own pizza. So I went twice to try this place out because the 1st time I went it didn't go as well as I expected but I took into consideration that it looked like they were short staffed and they were getting crushed with orders. Even though my food was good except my salad I decided to give them another chance. So I went another day and they met my expectations. I ordered 3 pizzas all 3 customized. Everything went well and was executed as requested. The flavor of the pizzas with garlic butter drizzle is just delicious I definitely recommend you trying this place out I see how popular it is with the Kean students. The restaurant has tables and it's spacious for groups. It definitely gets super busy between 12 and 130 so take that into consideration. So if you're in the area pop on over!! read more

I've never actually sat inside the restaurant, but I've ordered pickup a few times and have always had a great experience. The place is clean, and my order is always hot and ready right when I arrive. The pizza is absolutely delicious. I tried &pizza for the first time about two weeks ago and already went back again last week. Whether you build your own or choose from their signature options, you really can't go wrong. The texture is perfect and the portioning is just right. I would definitely recommend giving them a try! read more

And somehow this is my 1st review of this place, but I've been coming here since they opened. Funny fact: I thought they were missing a part of their sign when they 1st opened cause it's just "&Pizza." I wanted to know WHAT & Pizza, LOL! Medium to large venue across from Kean University. It's in an extremely busy lot which has many other food options. Parking is annoying cause it's always crowded. Service was fast & friendly, almost bubbly. The young Woman who served us was super sweet. Interior is bright and clean looking. Pizza is always amazing. I've tried a few of the pizzas from their menu at this point, & some of the promo pizzas they've had along the way, not a bad one yet. I have legit never had a bad pizza from them. Today I had 'The Maverick,' which is my go-to. Grades: Maverick: A++ read more

I recently went here for their $7 mix and match promotion which they offer on Mondays and Tuesdays. You can get a one topping one drizzle pizza and a pair of side Caesar salads for $7 each. The pizza is usually $12 without the discount. Their flatbread style pizza is very filling and for $7 it's a steal. I ordered a pizza with fresh mozzarella, spicy tomato sauce, chicken, and basil pesto finish. It came out well prepared with fresh ingredients and was super tasty. The only downside is that the service can be hit or miss. There is no dedicated pickup area so people with online orders are standing around several minutes with no one attending to them. They said my pizza got stuck in the oven and they had to make a new one which took an extra 30 minutes to make. Luckily they comped me with a free pizza on my next visit. This fast casual spot is usually buzzing with college kids during meal times so they may need to hire an extra worker to increase efficiency. read more

&pizza, I've missed you! We were in the area on our first interstate trip with the family - including a toddler who is allergic to wheat, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, avocado, pineapple, and kiwi. As a family, we are allium free vegetarians and my husband and I first discovered this chain with their oblong pizzas maybe 10 years ago in DC and I am pleased to report that they have not changed their tomato sauce since... still allium free! It's so hard to find a pizza place that offers tomato sauce we can have without going to a fancy pizzeria. The first thing we did after we landed and left the airport was head here. It's located close to Kean University and I noticed most all of the other patrons were likely college students. And the employees. It's located in a shopping center with a shared parking lot. The place itself was... a little unkempt? I didn't really see anyone dine in but everyone did take out. We luckily came in before the next flush of customers so I could ask a bunch of questions. No problems but just made sure the employee knew one had to be made with gluten free crust. I was actually impressed! He made the GF pizza first and everything else, then rushed to get it first with new gloves so it wouldn't touch the others. My two kids got cheese pizzas, only one was gluten free. My husband and I got the "craft your own". They really don't skimp on the ingredients, which I loved and they do take their time to really spread out the ingredients evenly. If you're a cheese lover, you won't need to request for extra cheese. We also got a fountain drink and... let's just say the sodas are SUPER carbonated. My favorite was the berry ginger lemonade... with no bubbles. The ingredients themselves seemed a little limited (not as much of a selection as some other chains with similar a concept I've been to since) and the quality wasn't great at this location (they had basil that was mostly brown) but we were hungry. And they were delicious once they came out! And my toddler had no adverse reactions to his food which is always a win. The guy who helped us was nice though slightly distracted (turns out a girl was waiting for him to get off work), but not obviously so. The people in the shift after him weren't all that professional. But I guess the place worked for the area. Overall, a good place to go to when in the area for a custom pizza. Don't expect great service and... I'll reserve my final conclusions on their ingredients after a second visit. read more

Ordered through Uber Eats while my family was visiting from New York City and even they were impressed, which says a lot! The personal pizzas are the perfect size for dinner, generous portions, and every bite was fresh and delicious. The sauce, the cheese, the crust all on point. Everything tasted homemade and full of flavor. Definitely adding this spot to my go-to list. Super good and absolutely worth it! YUMMMMM read more

Used UberEats tonight to get a pizza pie from this place and it was good. Pepperoni pizza buy one get one free option.

Located across the street from Kean University, &Pizza is a good option for a quick bite in-between classes. I built my own "pie" (and I use quotation marks since it's not a round pizza). I requested the vegan mozzarella and just wasn't the biggest fan. I've had vegan mozzarella before and it wasn't also goey or rubbery as this one. This place has tons of options for toppings so highly recommend playing around each time you come. And don't worry... you don't have to worry if your pizza won't be cooked enough or if it'll be cooked too much... &Pizza always gets it r Don't forget to sign up with your phone to get rewards every time you order. ** BIG PLUS: &Pizza offers Gluten Free dough and Vegan Mozzarella ** read more

This is one of our new favorite pizza places. We typically create our own pizzas. I get mine with pepperoni, sausage, and bacon topped with parmesan cheese and their garlic butter. The garlic knots are what we really come for though. They are so good and top with their garlic butter---which is amazing. Do yourself a favor and get extra. My son also likes their cinnamon-knots too. The store is always clean and the service is typically good. Some of the customers are not the greatest to the staff that I have observed a few times though which is a shame since it's probably college or local kids that work there. read more

Visited this restaurant for lunch break because this eatery have vegan options on the menu. I ordered the vegan personal pizza pie and added multiple veggies on top . I also ordered the vegan garlic knots and my meal came to $22. My meal was very average. The seasoning they put on the pizza after it comes out the oven is extremely salty!!!! Also I did not like that the pizza goes inside a electrical oven instead of a brick The service was also really slow. It took 25 mins just to receive my order! And the place wasn't even crowded .. read more

I like it. Is it the OG NJ/NY pizza? Of course not. But it is tasty and quick to order. We usually get the regular and the margherita which are tasty and are enough in terms of serving size for the two of us. I also really like their garlic knots they are very tasty. I've had &pizza in NYC as well and I would say they are consistent in terms of taste and flavor. I can't speak to the inside of the restaurant I have only ordered from delivery and it arrives fast and my order is correct. For us it's a safe option in the area. read more

Unreliable service. Ordered tonight at 7:30 and finally picked up pizza at 9:05. Came twice to location. 1st visit - was told pizza would be delivered 20 minutes after app said it would be ready at 8:11. 2nd visit - came back after 20 minutes. Pizza still wasn't ready. Asked staff member multiple times and didn't receive a follow through. Showed the app stating my pizza was ready. Finally after another 30 minutes the staff person looked and saw my pizza was ready. Needless to say won't be coming back as there as there are far better options that provide baseline customer service paired with a quality product. read more

I ordered online and I received a text when my order was ready. It is a fast casual restaurant, they make the pizza right in front of you. They have a small menu or you can create your own. I believe it's unlimited toppings. I went with the American honey. I enjoyed my pizza, the crust was light and airy. I would order again based on it being fast and convenient. read more

&pizza opens a new branch in Union, NJ! I've never heard of the brand before, so we came with an open mind. We decided to go all out and order each pie and canned drink to share our recommendations with you! PIZZA New G - The simplest of pies with good tomato and cheese, but our basil was burnt and black. "White" - Not our favorite. Tasted more of an alfredo sauce for a pasta base if anything. Lacked the truffle ranch flavor. American Honey - WOULD RECOMMEND! Great spice, but could've used more hot honey! Luckily we had more at home to drizzle over. The goat cheese, pepperoni, arugula and red pepper flakes really elevated the flavors of this pizza! Maverick - It was a good "meat lovers" style pie, but we were missing the basil pesto that probably would have freshened the flavor. Dirty Bird - It seemed like a lot of the advertised ingredients weren't on this pie? No red pepper flakes or spicy tomato. The blue cheese and chicken complimented each other well though. Buffalo 66 - Another one of our recommendations! The spiciest pie; great kick! Would definitely recommend the garlic knots! Super soft and great garlic flavor! DRINKS Recommend: Ginger Berry Lemonade, Razz Berry Mint Lemonade, Mango Passionfruit Soda Meh: Blood Orange Jasmine, Sweet Root Beer, Moody Meyer Lemon Black Tea, Dark Cherry Cola Now is &pizza actually a pizza? It was debatable, but we felt like it was more of a flatbread with toppings. American Honey and Buffalo 66 are definitely pies to try if you swing by! read more

Being vegan & craving pizza is not a pretty sight as not many locations have good quality pizza. This location is one of the best in vegan pizza options! Their vegan garlic knots are also amazing!! The location is always clean & the staff is very hard working. In reading previous reviews. I see that many either lack patience or do not understand how &Pizza works & the fact that the dough is literally made in house & needs a set setting time to be ready. Every time I have been there I have been alerted on whether or not wait times were long & I have opted to wait every single time because it is worth it. Charles, is one of the best at the location & is patient all the while working hard & making sure things are done efficiently & in the best timely manner possible. This will always be our go to in Union. Great job guys!!! Keep it up. read more

Absolutely horrible experience from the minute we walked in. Guy up front had an attitude and looked like he was half asleep. He sent us down to Cabrina (apparently the manager). She asked me to wait a minute, not friendly at all. With her eyelashes way too long and could fall in the pizza but aside from that she had a horrible attitude. After waiting, and waiting as she makes several other pizzas in front of us, I asked if we were next. She said "I told you it would be 10 minutes I have other orders before you". I said really no one is here. I'm sure you have pick up orders but they aren't even here. Then I asked if the other guy could help, she said no. So 1 single person makes pizza while the other guy just stands there and watched, cool. No other humans in the line at all but cool. It was our first experience and our last. She was rude, he was half asleep and the service was awful. She also was really nasty when I asked for the manager. Don't go here. read more

I always buy their pizza but lately they've gotten pricier and changed their rewards system so now it's harder to get a good deal on a pizza. The pizzas are also very small for the price so that's also not great. My tipping point for writing this review was the service. The picture shows that the crew member closed the top on one of the vegan knots and it was spilling out from the sides. When I brought this to his attention after I got my fingers dirty trying to put the knot back in, the guy replied with, "it's fine" and asked with an attitude to put it in a new box. After that interaction I just decided to leave but they have a continuous issue with providing good service and constantly have an attitude. read more

I have been to the other location so I wanted to try this one. I ordered online and I ordered the vegan pizza with vegan sausage, spinach and broccoli and a water. It came to a little over $13. They texted me when the food was done. When I arrived I parked in the nice plaza. It looked fairly new. I walked in and I told the man my name and that I was there for pick up. The server gave me my food and I left. When I got in I dug in and it was pretty good. It was nice and crispy and I enjoyed the broccoli and vegan sausage combo. I had a good experience and will return. read more

I love finding &pizza everywhere I go. It's the ultimate fast food pizza! I love how fast the service is and the ability to choose my own dough and toppings. I had the regular dough with lots of toppings and the cherry on top for me is goat cheese and honey! Having warm honey on pizza is just delicious! This location is on a college campus but easy to find as it's in a shopping center. Parking can be a little tight but it's private parking. Customer service can be better. A customers reception when they enter a place is so important so I hope they work on that. It is important to receive every customer into a place with a smile and some form of greeting and not just "what's your order" I love the franchise and will continue to purchase anywhere I find them. read more

If you check out the page of the Virtual Elite Yelp Event held for this location you'll see my initial thoughts on this new addition to Union, NJ. In short, &pizza is a chain that seeks to offer fair businesses practices while delivering pizza in a modern setting. This location is based on a brand new strip mall development that is meant to go with the new luxury housing across the street. The result? The place looks very modern with lots of silver and black colors offering a bold visual contrast. LCD screens line the area above the counter that runs the length of the restaurant. The place is very welcoming with its clean, bright and modern design. When you enter &pizza, you walk all the way to the back which is the "beginning" of the ordering experience. There, you order from a menu that includes pre-configured pies or you can select your ingredients one by one to "assemble" your own pie. The style of pie is different than most pizza shops. No circles or squares here. These are oval shaped, with layers of ingredients added on to order. The crust is thin, chewy and tasty and I have enjoyed every pie I have tried so far. Among my favorites is their version of the "Meat lover's" style pizza known as the "Maverick". They layer on the pepperoni and sausage layers nicely and I never feel like they're going cheap on the ingredients. As a treat, I recommend getting the garlic knots. They are not the traditional, thick and doughy. Instead, they are made of the same dough as the pizza crust and they are in a long twisted shape. On top of cheese and a garlic oil, I recommend adding the balsamic reduction for an extra burst of flavor! The staff at &pizza is very nice about answering questions and they are super friendly as well! If you're nearby I definitely recommend checking out this great new pizza shop! read more

I only gave it 4 stars because one of my pizzas was wrong. So I ordered 2 craft your own pizzas. 1st pizza was suppose to have traditional classic tomato, Parmesan-Romano, mozzarella, broccoli, pepperoni, bacon, beef meatball with roasted garlic drizzle. Which was completely wrong. It was missing the broccoli, no traditional classic tomatoes I also seen some peppers on it as of they used the same spoon and no Parmesan Romano was on it 2 pizza order classic tomato, park Romano sauce, roasted garlic, mozzarella, shredded blend, spinach, basil, bacon, Italian sausage, beef meatball, roasted garlic drizzle and olive oil. On this order there wasn't any roasted garlic. The spinach had about 2 pieces on it. I don't know where the Basil was. I also ordered the cookies. Which is only 1 big cookie not like it's advertised being 4. I think the menu online should at least specify these things. The garlic knots was very soft, big and really good. The marinara sauce that comes with it tasted watery. It's like when you making spaghetti at home and you add just a lil water to the bottle to get the rest out. Soda the sweet root beer which was tasty. Overall I should give it a 2 but regardless of it being missing items on my pizza and added other things it was pretty decent. I won't put it in my top 5 pizza spots but it's ok. They really need to specify on the cookie situation and just because it's a flat bread pizza the 4 ends of the pizza should have cheese on it not just bread. Oh one last thing when ordering with Uber, door-dash or any other delivery platform. The bag should be stapled shut. That way I won't have to question if my food was tampered with read more

Now this is review of food not service, (Service was BOMB as FK to say tho) you can get unlimited top'ns so like you see in the photo my pie is hook'd up. This is chain store pizza place so if you had one it seems like you had them all (not on the level of the big two tho) so don't look for the KABLAM of excellent taste but not to take from it the pie was good. Will definitely put people on and go back for another go round for real. Just don't eat outside on a cold day made it not so enjoyable. If you have a budget on lunch or whatever meal you want HIT THIS PLACE UP $10 plus Tax for a pie can't be that at all. Stay LYT Society read more

During my visit, I experience good customer service; an employee is very patient helping me navigate Vegan options (especially considering I ask about so many ingredients--I'm grateful). The pizza is in the form of a flatbread (which is a decent amount of crunchy soft) with Vegan Cheese (the goo drip !), Jalapeño Peppers, Baby Half Tomatoes, Pineapples, Mushrooms, Arugula, Vegan Garlic Butter Sauce, Vegan Sausage, and Bing/Bean (not the Vegan BBQ, spelling might be inaccurate???) sauce as toppings. I like the way all the ingredients taste TOGETHER as a flatbread pizza. This is a filling tasty fairly-high protein Vegan lunch! Dining in, I feel as though &pizza is an establishment that needs to be in a higher space like a large fancy building with a lot of employee traffic from other businesses--not on the ground. The interior design is so futuristic it feels like a living pre-concept, I'll find no surprise if the establishment has furniture that recharges electronic devices (or does more) soon. Additionally, I don't have a child/children yet though I have no problem sighting anything for children like baby seats and/or the changing area in the unisex restroom(s). The establishment stands out to me largely from its interior design aside from its respect to Vegan options (Vegan ingredients are put on a meal and set in a way so as to prevent cross contamination between [though close to] non-Vegan products). The establishment takes different forms of payment. read more

The service is totally dry and the ambiance is downright dreadful inside. You have young kids working there and they have zero personality so you need not attempt to ask any questions or for suggestions. We had the Buffalo 66, Pineapple Jacked and the Maverick. The pizza was finished really fast but the pizza was kind of missing something. There needed to be a bit more sauce. It seemed slightly doughy and just lakes that cheese to sauce to toppings balance. Overall the pizza was okay but nothing that memorable. read more
