Buckys is one of the best pizza spots around for many reasons. First, the quality of ingredients and being 100% seed-oil free is what brought us to their restaurant. We have ordered before and everything is amazing! For our first time dining with our two toddlers, Buckys staff is truly amazing with great service, kind, and even providing crayons and coloring sheets for the kids. Now on to the food. Their pizza is amazing! Easily top 3 pizza in NJ with the dough/crust being so good. Another item that is a must try is their garlic knots, which are large and delicious. We also tried their cookie and olive oil cake. My kids loved the olive oil cake. Overall, Bucky's is a must! read more

This place has kinda gone viral so we decided to give this place a try on a Saturday night. We got there and was told it was about a hour wait, it turned out being less which was good, we were seated in the back room which is a little tight and loud. The decor is pretty standard pizza place, The waitress came over and took our order. They were out of garlic knots and their fresh cookies so that was a bit of a bummer, Their drink selection is pretty limited but they did have Italian soda which was nice, We got the square sour dough pizza which was really good. We also got the traditional round pie which i wouldn't get again stick with their strengths. The square style. Service is a bit chaotic. Our meatball app came out before we got our waters so we had to eat with no beverages. We asked our waitress for the waters a serving time and she told us she had to take a few tables orders first. So overall the service part needs some significant attention, I can see grabbing a pie to go but little reason to Sit down and eat, it feels a bit disorganized and not very relaxing. read more

Don't let the strip mall location fool you - Bucky's is serving up some delicious pizza! Plus they have plenty of parking so that's an added bonus. Bucky's closes at 8pm (why so early!?!), but when we arrived at 7:40 on Friday night, we were still able to snag a table. There were also at least 5 people waiting to pickup to go orders. They were sadly out of garlic knots (probably metals they're great!), so we went right for pizza. The Detroit Hot Honey Pepperoni pizza was phenomenal! Perfect for two hungry adults. 10/10 recommend! read more

Bucky’s Pizza - Detroit Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chatham, New Jersey

What can I say aside from this is the best pizza in NJ. Period. There is no crust like the soft, bouncy yet crispy, airy sourdough that the Bucky's team has NAILED. Went last night and enjoyed every single bite. The staff was young and CRANKING through orders; and the owner was out front making a waitlist for tables. You can sense the enthusiasm and pride in everyone there. Really set the stage for a great meal. Cannot say enough good things. (Looking at you, Owner... I'm so glad you followed your dream. Thank you for creating my new fave piz' spot.) A few standouts: - If you like white pie, there's no comparable. Just the best bite I think I've ever had. I cannot wait to go back for this alone. - Hot honey pepp is something my husband tris everywhere, and he loved this one. Very generous amount of pepperoni and the whipped ricotta is outstanding. - Not shown but still delicious, the meatball app. Comes with 3 and a side of whipped ricotta. I want to bathe in this whipped ricotta. read more

My second time trying Detroit pizza (neither time in Detroit). While I do not like this style as much as other styles of pizza (too much bread), I did still enjoy the pizza overall. The best thing was the crust, so its good that they cut each of the 6 slices to have at least some crust. Quite cheesey. Also there were a generous amount of toppings... for instance my pepp pizza was loaded with pepperoni. Pizza is a little expensive for the size versus other pizza spots, but not unreasonably so. I ordered ahead (online) the night before, and the pizza was ready a little before the estimated time. The parking lot was quite busy, but there were some spots available (weekday lunch). read more

The best sourdough pizza in NJ by a landslide. The staff is insanely sweet and the relatively small menu is honestly just so nice. That's how you know. They use good quality fresh ingredients and everything is actually made with love and care. They have sourdough everything there and you can taste it in the pizza crust. it was a life-changing slice for me that grandma pie. It's honestly the best spot to sit down, but you could take it to go to and please please please if you go there get a chocolate chip cookie it's one of the best I've ever had. read more

As someone from Michigan who grew up with Detroit style pizza, Bucky's does a phenomenal job. Their Detroit pies are light and airy from the sourdough crust with the perfect crispy edges and fresh ingredients. We got a vodka sausage pie, red sauce with sausage, pepperoni hot honey ricotta pie and their calzone. DON'T SLEEP ON THE CALZONE. It's a soft pillowy pocket filled with garlic confit and ricotta, which is perfect for garlic lovers. We got takeout and the pizzas kept their crisp by the time we ate them. I can't wait to come back here! read more

Bucky's is a basic pizza joint. They serve. . . Pizza. It's the best crust, sauce and toppings around, mind you. And the Caesar salad is epic. The chocolate chip cookies are to die for. The Detroit pizza is airy, savory, and a cheesy wonder. It's comfortable in a very basic way. The servers are cheerful and enthusiastic. The pizza is the thing: It's world class. read more

Loved this cute pizza place in a quaint town of Chatham! We went in to dine in at this place to enjoy the fresh, hot, yummy pizza right from the oven. We started off with garlic knots and they were tasted super fresh along with that red sauce just hitting the spot on a Fall lunch day. We ordered a NY style pizza pie and opted for half cheese and half mushroom. Absolutely loved it. I like that they had put small sized mushroom and they were from some local farm, which I greatly appreciated! The service was super quick and the crew is amazing! read more

The Detroit-style pies are incredible: soft, consistent dough interior; salty and delectable frico on the edges; olive oil on the bottom for a crunchy, fried crust. I had a mushroom and red onion pie for lunch and it was all I could do not to eat it all. If only they were nearer my house... the Detroit pies are great alternatives for when I'm tired of NJ-style pizza. The store inside has stool seating. Seeing the baked desserts for sale in there, high-end versions of Domino's desserts, brought a huge smile to my face. When I showed at 1:15p on a Sunday it was basically empty. I preordered the night before through their website. read more

Great food! Our server was really quick and nice.

Bucky's Pizza lives up to the hype! Simply put: real good pizza made by real great people. Be sure to add this local spot to your 2026 "must try" list for pizza! Their sourdough pies were all outstanding. Some of the best pizza we've ever had. The restaurant is also seed oil free, so even after eating a bunch of pizza, we still felt great afterwards. The restaurant has a homey feel and everyone there was super nice and helpful. Check out our full visit here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTNktVvjQ-7/?igsh=MXM0cWp2Zjh4YXJ6NA== read more

Bucky's Pizza is pretty gosh darn good. My five year old declared the plain pie to be the "best pizza he's ever had" and trust me, the kid knows his plain pies. The specialty pizzas are thick and doughy, which is different from what you normally find in NJ. The flavors are delicious. I recommend going in a group so you can share a few different flavors. I kept my rating at a 4 because the cost was high (the speciality pies are, according to our waiter, a single for serving). The ambience is very casual with self seating.... Not a bad thing but we did have to flag down our waiter at the end of the night. read more

So, read all of the other reviews and ordered really early, as I was worried about availability and timing! We chose all Detroit styles... Cacio e Pepe with mushrooms, the hot honey pepperoni, and regular, as well as a Caesar salad.I guess bc it was a holiday weekend of summer, that I arrived and pizzas were ready to go. Friendly staff was raring to go, sitting waiting for orders. Location was small amount of seating in strip mall, formerly housing the Chatham bakery years ago. Fav pizzas were hot honey pepperoni and cacio e Pepe with mushrooms. Both were stunning. Regular Detroit was good but definitely lacked cheese. Caesar salad was fresh. Will definitely try their regular pies as well next time. Great new pizza spot. read more

Detroit style pizza is definitely more difficult to find in NJ, but really good detroit style pizza, that I thought was impossible. Then I came to Bucky's and will tell you, this place is worth it. Came in at lunch time on a sunday shortly after it opened, and was able to seat ourselves as a group of 4 immediately. We were able to place an order pretty quickly after being seated. The guy taking our order was very nice and efficient. Ordered 1 order of garlic knots, 1 detroit style cacio e pepe and 1 detroit style plain pizza. Garlic Knots: This is how prefer my garlic knots and to each their own. Crispy on the outside and doughy in the middle, with plenty of cheese and garlic flavor, a great start to our delicious meal. Plain Detroit Style: Beautifully crispy on the outside with caramelized cheese flavor. I love that there is NO MIDDLE slice, because you don't miss out on the crispiness of the crust, and the rest of the pizza was nice and chewy, as detroit pizza should be. the tomato sauce does not overpower anything and it was absolutely delicious. Cacio E Pepe: This is a must have. The dough, crust was exactly as it was above, but I actually preferred this tomatoless pie. I thought that the cheese topping+pepper+ricotta cheese was a great combination of flavors and you don't need anything else on tip. Overall: Definitely must have if you are in the area. I would try some of their round pies in the future. read more

Bucky’s Pizza - cacio e pepe and plain detroit style pizzas, definitely worth it! - Pizza Near Me - Chatham, New Jersey

Very solid pizza place. Saw how good the reviews (and photos) and had to give this place a try. They're too slammed to take phone orders but can order and pay online through toast. Friday night wait was about an hour for a large half cheese half pepperoni pie. Think they have a back seating area with the front for take out or solo seats which was very modern looking. They were pumping out pizza like mad inside and felt like it was Santa's pizza workshop (most employees were people in teens/20's) Pizza and dough particularly is really great, like how it was crispy but still soft for the crust. It seemed a bit more sauce than cheese and they sprinkle a lot of parm on top which I'm personally not a huge fan of. Also a little unique in that they apply the pepperoni on top after it's cooked which I've never seen before. They don't stay on as well in my observation. Overall I would give it a 7.9 out 10. read more

I've never had Detroit style pizza before, just knew that it was on the thicker side. The pizzas are slightly smaller than I expected, but they are enough. We ordered the plain Detroit pie, which is cut into six pieces. The sauce is amazing, I could eat it on anything, and I wish the cheesy crispy crust was on more pizzas. We also got the garlic knots, which I usually never eat. I was pleasantly surprised that it had the same crust on the bottom. The sauce, again is amazing and it tasted super fresh--there were fresh pieces of basil in it. The cannoli wasn't too sweet and the cream was light and fluffy. I'm definitely coming again to try their round pies! read more

Will definitely be coming back! read more

I kept hearing rave reviews on social media about Bucky's sourdough pizza and finally decided to take the leap. Placing an order through the website is relatively seamless. Real-time availability is reflected, and I can't tell you how crushed I was when I waited too long to place my order and discovered they were sold out of the pies I wanted. In fact, my sister shared that this is a common complaint about Bucky's - there's a high demand and a limited supply, so get your orders in as soon as you plan on having pizza on the menu. If it helps, orders can be scheduled well ahead of time. We decided to try a cheese round pie and the hot honey pepperoni grandma pie. Both were smaller than I expected, so much that a slice of the hot honey was just a little larger than my palm. That said, they're delicious. The hot honey with pepperoni was the clear favorite of the family, with the spiced pepperoni doing a flavor waltz in my mouth against the sweet ricotta and hot honey. The deeper crust of the grandma pie remained relatively crisp, with leftovers being enjoyed by a latecomer hours after we'd eaten. I'll leave this an added note for those watching their blood sugar - the sourdough crust seems to affect the glycemic index of these pizzas. I wear a continuous glucose monitor, and pizza typically makes my blood sugar spike off the charts. I was pretty surprised to find that Bucky's pizza doesn't have the same effect, and my levels remained within a normal range. Of course, pizza isn't the healthiest meal around, but it's nice to know that a slice or two from Bucky's won't tip the scales too far. Free parking is available in the lot, though when I was there to pick up my order, it seemed that Bucky's customers were taking up the majority of available spaces. read more

Parking in lot. The owner is very sweet and friendly. Buckys is a great addition to town. Detroit style is my favorite and I think Buckys has mastered it. The Cacio e Pepe is my family favorite. Along with the Caesar salad. Those two are a must try. You won't be disappointed! read more

I had a few suspicious glances sent my way when I made a statement that I wasn't overly impressed with Bucky's pizza when sharing my first impression with my friends...having said that,perhaps I'll give it another shot sometime,to try the round pizza next time,and a couple other toppings. On this occasion,my husband and I ordered 2x square pizzas- Cacio e Pepe and Hot Honey with Ricotta,and only the latter topping was enjoyable. Whilst I really love sourdough (I'm also gluten-intolerant), the dough was too thick and too oily (likely because of the amount of cheese) for our liking. Cacio was also wayy too peppery (I know,I know...it's kinda supposed to be,but perhaps it's better as a pasta sauce rather than a pizza topping for me personally). What I truly appreciated,was premium ingredients being used,which you can tell. What was not as enjoyable during our visit was our server who seemed to be a bit distracted-he didn't bring us water for the table until asked,and we received our cutlery only after the pizza was served,which was unusual. Ambiance is very simple and casual,nothing to write home about. Fortunately,easy dedicated parking,so fewer things to worry about when dining in. read more

Get the vodka pie. Great flavor and perfect combo with a crisp crust. We walked in having placed and order online and didnt realize they had lots more seating towards the back of the restaurant (you only see a hightop wall table with stools up front). Came here for the detroit style which was decent (seems to be hard to find around these parts). Cheese caramelized on the edges is my favorite. Though the detroit pies are much smaller. read more

This place has decent pizza but the customer service is inconsiderate, disrespectful, and racist. I walked in on a Saturday and was treated like I was stupid.

Bucky's Pizza is phenomenal. Located in a strip mall in Chatham, NJ. I first went here when it was a pop up. Now went to the brick and mortar joint which has seating and a super friendly crew. Ordered through the Toast App for pick up. Ready on time and very hot. Got home and we dove in to the best Detroit pizza in the area. I got the Sausage, ricotta and chili oil pie. Ground sausage with uber fresh ricotta and sone spice from the chili oil. The char on the crust was fantastic. Everything you want from a Detroit pie. So damn good. My Daughter got the pepperoni ricotta and hot honey on Detroit pie as well. She loved it again. Everything is made fresh and with a. Obvious love of their craft. Haven't gone for dine in yet but it looks nice. Highly recommend you visit and support this small business. Detroit pizza done right in New Jersey! read more

Pizza was mid. I didn't like the pepperoni. Tasted more like a cheaper commercial pepperoni. Too much pepperoni was on the pizza. It didn't need that. Sauce was slightly sweet, very good. Not enough cheese, would have preferred an option to add extra cheese. I'm not sure what the appeal of the crust is. It was a tougher chew, not tender, which is more indicative of a sourdough crust. The wait time was 2 hours and it still wasn't ready at promised time. Very busy on a Friday evening. read more

- Edit - came back the following week and was able to try the plain & cacio e pepe Detroit style pizza, both were great. The dough is very light/airy. If I had to pick a favorite for the Detroit style, it would be the plain! Really happy to have Bucky's in the area. The pizza is high quality. You can taste the difference in the chewy airy crust and incredibly flavorful "fancy" mushrooms. Unfortunately they were sold out of their square pies by the time we came, but I'm looking forward to trying that in the future. Plain round and white mushroom were great. I added some hot honey to the white pizza at home! read more

Tried Bucky's for the first time this past Sunday, April 25, 2026. They serve pizza slices which is fabulous and those slices are 1/6 of a pie rather than the smaller 1/8 most other pizzerias serve. I had their vodka pizza slices. They also offer complementary hot honey, special dried chili peppers, etc. I put on their special dried mildly hot delicious chili pepper flakes. Pizza magic! Finally a real pizzeria in the area of Chatham, NJ. If you know what good pizza is supposed to be you'll love Bucky's. If you're one of the many midwestern transplants in the area that's been relocated here by the conglomerate you work for, there's a Domino's down the road for your Wisconsin bland palate. Thank you Bucky's for bringing real good pizza to the area!!!! We've been waiting for you for decades. You are quite literally the Messiah of pizzerias! read more

We came in for a Sunday lunch to try the sourdough pizza. We tried the Round: Long Hots & Shallots, Round: Sausage onion & chili oil, and Detroit: Hot Honey, Pepperoni & Ricotta.

I've been wanting to try this place since it opened. It was crazy and almost impossible to get in when they first opened but they have a super easy online ordering system now. After the online order, my order was ready and I received a text confirmation when my order was ready. I ordered for pick up but there is also seating in the back. Overall the pizza was fresh and I loved the Detroit style pizza. It is a little pricey, but I understand why it because the sourdough is fresh, tasty and the pizza is filling. I am glad they are adding more to the menu, looking forward to trying other things on the menu. read more

Great pizza...if you like paying ridiculous prices for small servings. Two Detroit-style pies cost me more than $50, and they barely served four adults.

Is it the best pizza I've ever had? No. Is it the best Detroit style ever? It's in the conversation. Probably top 3 dough/crust ever. They use sourdough. Probably family starter. The Caesar salad was delicious. Scratch made dressing. The plain pie was nothing special. The pepperoni hot honey was pretty perfect. Its a solid 4.5/5.0 pizza place. We didn't wait long for pick up.
