This is a review via takeout. Picture it... It is 1:30am, all the clubs and bars are about to shut down and you see a light, pizza. my favorite pizza spot in nyc is, little italy pizza, because they manage to get their crust crispy without a full on burnt taste. this place does that. if you want quick delicious pizza in a hurry, for pick up, hit this place up. i commend the people behind the counter, dealing with the nonsense, and still maintaining composure and being patient. 10/10 will go again, will order from! thank you staff read more

Living in NYC for a little more than 1/2 of my formative years in my 20s, while also working in the city for almost most of my working career (thanks to WFH for changing that), I came to appreciate the beauty of a slice of pizza. It's the ultimate quick bite, whether heading on public transit to the suburbs or heading to watch a game, or returning from a late night out or such. Everywhere I've lived, I've sought for the best slice of pizza I can find. Now that I'm in Jersey City, I've been on the hunt as well. Now, yes we're not looking for royalty in these slices. We're not looking for royalty in the decor. I realize these aren't a dollar or two anymore. We do live in 2026 now. All I ask for is some good slices of pizza that preferably hold up from the spot to the apartment. Fortunately, Basile's is just 2 mins away from where I live so I put it to the test. Because I was extra hungry, I ordered 3 plain slices. A plain pie is the barometer I use to determine whether a pie is good. Well it did pass the test for me. Hot, cheesy and not too crispy. Fit the bill for a quick dinner. I can't ask for more. Oh and sorry, I forgot to take photos because I ate the slices so quickly. read more

I absolutely love this place. I know there are NYC pizza snobs who would beg to differ. Whenever I'm in Jersey City, it's one of my go to spots. They have numerous pizzas in the window, you choose then they toast them up in the oven for you in a couple of minutes. So many delicious choices. Definitely hits the spot after a night out and they are always busy with quickly moving lines. The crust is so thin and crispy on the generously sized pieces. Always a hustling city vibe but friendly. Check them out read more

I work in the area a lot and stop here for quick slices frequently. First off the service is great. Guys behind the counter are always great. The pizza here is always good. I can recommend the vodka slices, the pepperoni is always great, sausage slice very good, and the Sicilian was great. Place is always busy which is a good sign. There is a small seating area inside but would usually just take the slices home. Prices are very reasonable with a good location near the closed walkway. Great spot for a quick slice. read more

If you're staying in Newark this is the place for late night eats. After enjoying some adult beverages down the street, we stopped to grab a couple slices before heading back to the hotel. It was so good, we went back the next night too. The service is fast. You pick your slices, they heat them up, and then serve them piping hot. There's a few tables to sit at but the doors are wide open so it's chilly in the fall and winter. Don't let that stop you. read more

Really good pizza in the Jersey city Area. Don't know why would it only have a 3.2 on yelp. It's always fast and super good. It's a brick oven pizza place and that's why it's "burnt". People think it's bad pizza probably only had papa jones and pizza hunt and don't know real authentic Italian pizza ‍ read more

So this may be like one of your typical pizza spots that's in the middle of a extremely busy party area. Usually those pizza spots have bland no flavor pizza and they just try to push that on people who have been drinking and don't care about the taste. Well I was drink and I did care about the taste and great pizza is what I got. The place is small but the flavor is big . Didn't talk to the staff much but got two slices. 1 pepperoni and other buffalo chicken. They were both super good and had that crispy crust like I like . I'd definitely end my night here again. Great pizza read more

Easy in and out and damn tasty pizza! I appreciate the simplicity and no holds barred approach to fulfilling my pizza needs should be the standard across the country! read more

The total was $20.. He told the clerk he's paying with debit. Which he acknowledged he understood. When he asked for a receipt he saw that he was charged $22. When my husband asked why he was charged tax when paying with debit you are not suppose to. The guy had an attitude and gave him the $22 back in cash and told him he could buy pizza somewhere else. This disgusting and unprofessional behavior was not called for. We owned a few restaurants so we know how it works. DO NOT BUY from this pizza place! They are stealing folks money and are extremely rude and unprofessional! read more

Solid slice of pizza for 5 bucks. Missed New York style pizza, and this did not disappoint. Was quick and easy read more

Being a JC native, I remember the days of the pizza parlor that was super small, had counters instead of tables and some of the best pizza ever!! I actual childhood memory was taking the train to Grove Street and getting pizza in the EXACT spot that Basiles is now in!!! How crazy!! Basiles pizza is pretty good, very thin crust! I would have liked more cheese and sauce but I understand it's because the crust is very thin. I just had two regular slices so next time I want to try something else and I will update my review. The space is cute right on the corner of Grove and Manila. Workers were very chipper and singing along! Drink machine in the back and a restroom if u need to go! The speciality pies looked great. Prices are a bit higher than a couple of my favs for a slice but inflation so I get it. Def will return. read more

My favorite pizza place in Jersey City. Huge slices with perfect crust. It's crunchy yet soft and chewy. The dough holds up for how large it is. Decent selection of flavors and have hot honey bbq and buffalo to top your slice off if you want. Yum yum another slice in my tum tum. read more

I used to come to this pizzeria until today I discovered that they have been sneakily "up charging" for the pizza. They will "round up" their price (eg for 2 plain is $3.50 x 2 = $7 and topping pizza is $4.50 means it's $11.50, they will charge $12) and if you use a card, that's an additional charge so total of $12.48. When asked, the guy said it's 15% food tax then he decided to call me "crazy" for calling him out on his bad business practice. On this same trip, another man bought 3 slices and got charged extra $1.50 The price is already over priced for mediocre pizza and yet they sneakily charge you more especially for those who go there at night buzzed, is clearly taking advantage of every single one of us. Go elsewhere. read more

I've walked by Basile's numerous times since it opened, but never stepped in to get a pizza. We were on our way back from a show and super hungry cause we had skipped dinner. They were still open, so we stepped in to pick up a slice each. The pizza was just fine. It's honestly dollar slice status, but at 4x the cost. For the price, I'd go to Two Boots instead. I've definitely had much better pizza from the local pizzeria in any NYC borough. read more

Nothing wrong with this place for a cheese slice. Totally classic thin slice that was very crispy. Wasn't too oily, felt pretty light. Tomato sauce has a nice sweet taste to it. $3.50 a cheese slice. Felt like a classic nyc place, no frills and door left open, metal tables. Fresh hot pizza even at 9pm on a Tuesday read more

Basile's has come a long way since my review for the one in Hoboken. I actually had to update that one before coming back to this. I was very excited to see that Basile's was opening another location much closer to my apartment in JC. The same bright lights, the same red facade & interior, the same great slices. I usually go for plain, but the pepperoni is a close second. I keep an eye out for fresh pies - the first few minutes out of the oven is prime. I don't mind the single slice reheat, but nothing beats freshly cut. Razza is still my favorite downtown JC pizza overall, but as far as as grabbing a slice or two for 3 (or hey, even a whole pie), Basile's is my choice. read more

Just made an order for a large Margharita Pizza to be delivered via Uber to our place. They're usually pretty good BUT NOT this evening!!! This pizza pie was super burned in the bottom which made it taste like Crap! I've been trying to call them to let them know but they keep hanging up on me... Absolutely disappointed * read more

Downtown Jersey City did not need another takeout focused pizza spot. And Basile's doesn't exactly blow you away. While not the worst slice downtown, it's unremarkable at best: the sauce had a pleasant tang but the crust was more cracker than proper NY style Prices are average and the chaotic layout means there's usually a line read more

Service was actually pretty good and the people responsive. Those are the pluses. Asked for a whole fresh mushroom pizza - whole pie. I asked it to be done well. 20 minutes later and I've come back to see them take the pizza out of the oven after they saw my return. I wanted to get out of the wind Anna the loud music. I could tell at a distance that the pie didn't seem to be very well done; I don't typically like a wet pizza ands there was a lot of steam from it. After mentioning to them, I was assured that the pizza was indeed well done, even though I was watching it steam from all the water released from the mushrooms. After getting it home, I realized in fact that it wasn't appropriately done and fact was under done. The pizza was bland, uninspired, and had almost no sauce on it whatsoever. Salty without anything to prop yup the sodium. I'm a big fan of Razza. It'sa plane down the street. Razza typically under-sauces their pizza as far as most Americans are accustomed...And it's the best pizza in the state of New Jersey so far that I've tried including places in New York like Paul G's. So it wasn't just lack of sauce. For a late night/early morning, "I have to have it!", Basille's is... there. It's available. But for regular pizza cravings, I don't see that it's worth the effort. read more

I hate to be a hater but I've been on the hunt for at least decent pizza in jerz - anyways went for a white slice with pep and mans handed it to me burnt AF I looked at it like "no way he's about to give me that rn" but he did. It was like I was chewing coal the bottom was CHARRED. Destroyed the roof of my mouth, so sad. Pic did not do it justice. In pain read more

zero Stars. Got on line with grandson in stroller. Guy serves first and second white customer, skips me and serves the next white dude then he looks at me. i know he saw me prevously but guess he decided the "nanny " would to have to wait. The white customer just ignore me too and ordered his pizza. I won't give my money to people who discriminate!!!! sadly, the server is a person of color as well and decided to discriminate against me an older Latina. Pizza is always burnt any way read more

Pizza was alright, I've had better. I was riding my scooter around and had the munchies so I decided to roll up on a pizza spot I've passed by a few times to check out for myself. The slice was a good size but nothing to really rave about. I had the munchies and it did the job. read more

Ordered a plain slice to go and this is what I got. The best way I can describe the taste is a burnt carton with tomato sauce. Other than it being disgustingly burnt, it had absolutely no taste. What a terrible experience. Edit: I forgot to mention the lack of good costumer service. No response to a simple "hi" "thank you". The attitude is as if they were doing you a favor. Just terrible. read more

New Yorkers go crazy for Pizza with a capital P. I am just your average American citizen who's not from NYC or NJ, and I am just satisfied that there's something open at 3AM to get my drunk ass something to eat. It's cheaper with cash, but I ain't got no time to count pennies. They have a lot of selection and there's something magical about reheating a huge slice bigger than your face in the oven that makes it extra crispy and delicious. I got the bbq chicken pizza and what appears to be some sort of meat lovers with sausage and pepperoni. Just ask the workers the price before buying. Sure, the cost isn't $1 a slice, but it's 2023 and CPI is a lie. If it were any cheaper, I'd be 5000 lbs because I'd be ordering a whole pizza for myself. Probably, by the time you read this review, it's like $15 for 2 slices and a soda. It's better to get the pizzas in a group since you can get all the pizza on one credit card so there's less fees. The location is super convenient as well. Just a stone throw away from the Grove St. Path station with limited seats and a fountain soda to get refills. read more

Prices at Basil's have been going up steadily over the past few months, and while I understand that inflation affects everyone, it would be nice if the place were kept cleaner. Every time I order a slice, there are burnt bits stuck underneath, which really affect the taste. On top of that, the place smells and seems to get dirtier every time I visit. The pizza itself is just okay -- nothing special. I used to let it slide, but at these prices, I expect a better and cleaner experience. read more

I prefer the pizza her than Hoboken so much better and tasty. Service was great and fast! The people that work here are very very nice and love that they have studio 54 pumping! Well done Russell ! read more

They give you a bag in the rain unless you buy 4 slices to go. Wouldn't even let me pay for a box.

this place is surviving off the name and location. my pizza was good but not worth a $5 slice. also the panko or whatever type of breading was under my crust had a strange sour taste to it maybe the breading was just burnt on the bottom idk. i've heard something about there not being many pizza options in JC but fuck all that they need to bring their slice price down. with better prices i'd give them 8.9/10 but today. today they get 5 or 6 out of 10 from me read more

Great local spot. Especially after hours. I hate that there tip jar says tip the homeless. But it doesn't affect the food that matters the most. read more

I see some bad reviews, however, I was here yesterday. The pizza was fantastic for my liking. Love the crispness, and the cheese being still and not running off the slice. Expensive, perhaps. But, can't complain of the quality. Just my opinion. read more

For a fast food type of pizza place, it was fine. Lots of variety which was nice. I had a slice of pepperoni and a slice of pepperoni and bacon. Both were uneventful but fine. If I'm in the area, would try again but wouldn't go out my way. Service was friendly and fast but again It's fast food pizza it's kinda expected ! read more

On the go pizzeria for a quick bite. This is the New Jersey city location. Same owners as Hoboken location, same great taste. Above average pizza from its competitors in the area read more

The service is embarrassing. This place Is like a week old and the guys serving pizza looks like he hates his life and everyone in it. He acted as if I was an inconvenience. They have little to no selection. I hope you like mushrooms because every pizza had them. Honestly, pizza places are a dime a dozen so I'll walk the extra 45 feet to Helen's where people actually are pleasant. read more

The person behind the counter is obnoxious and rude. He first forgot to tell the person making the pizza and after waiting 20 minutes or so I asked for an update and he the guy left? Then he quickly made the pie and placed it in the oven. After 2 minutes he placed an already made pie in the oven -- trying to give me an older pie I said, I've waited patiently and he replied, you want to go... I said are you always this rude ? He said, you want to go, then go... I asked for the manager and he said he'll be there tomorrow and his name was Luis... I will NEVER go to this place EVER again. This person was disrespectful, rude, obnoxious... and for what reason? Is it my fault he was alone? or he forgot? and tried to give me an old pie he was reheating to cover up his mistake???? read more
