    Finally made it to Corner Slice! Been wanting to visit this spot for a while, and finally got a round. It's VERY EASY to miss, no jazzy sign or anything --- I just followed my Google Maps to a T. This business serves up awesome sicilian square pizzas (NOT DETROIT). I arrived at about 6:15pm, and much of their pizzas were already sold out. Luckily, I got to try a few items --- the white pizza, the pepperoni pizza, and their famous garlic *NOT. The employee was super helping in explaining what was in the white pizza (you guessed it...lot of mozzarella and ricotta --- but also: a touch of LEMON!), so I got that....and it was super delicious. This type of pizza can only be eaten HOT. The dish is automatically elevated once it touches the heat of the oven. Pepperoni is pepperoni....but lets talk about THAT CRUST on these pizzas. It must be sourdough --- that's my guess. There's a lightness to the crunch that normal sicilian slices do not have. Owner, am I right? Now --- onto that Garlic NOT. What in the layered, buttery hell is this? This is a glutton's dream. I was peeling this NOT like it was a biscuit with layers. It is decadent --- and bigger than a Costco cupcake. But it's only available here --- so you do you, boo. Get it. All in all, very satisfied!

    Solid square slice. I had the Buffalo, pepperoni and cheese slice. Great taste, nice and airy - bring from NY I would prefer a little extra sauce but theirs have just enough. Chilled location and ambiance and the staff is friendly. Definitely a go to if you are in area - I recommend. 4 stars

    Garlic "Not"
    Rinny C.

    Every time we go we are not disappointed. The counter staff is always so personable and welcoming. Besides the great customer service the pizza is just ridiculous! The crust is perfection and it's worth the 25 minute drive. The garlic "not" is a must have! I wish we lived closer because we would be there every week.

    Upside Down pie, one half sausage
    Danielle J.

    Tried this place because the Upside Down was rated the #1 slice in NJ. (I wouldn't call it that, but solid slice) Overall good slice, very fresh ingredients and soft, but crunchy crust. The few times I have been the staff has always been friendly and the place has been clean.

    We actually left another venue and weren't quite full so we came here. A great local pizza spot feel, the staff were immediately fun and friendly. They make you feel like a "regular" right off the bat. Everyone in there was happy and enjoying the food, the whole experience was a vibe. Parking is terrible, but worth it. The place smells amazing from all of the pizza and other dishes. A worth it stop! Grades: Pepperoni: A Margarita: A Buffalo: B Vodka: A

    Giant garlic knot.  $9.00 each, meh.
    Tim S.

    3.5 Stars. This was our final stop on our NY/NJ pizza tour. We got here super late, right before they were about to close (Thanks, NY Traffic near the Holland Tunnel!) When we arrived there were limited options since it was so late. I went with a cheese slice and a garlic knot. Had a root beer to drink. Total was close to $20.00. How was it? Cheese Slice- Pretty tasty. Light, airy, crunchy, good cheese. Solid square slice. I ate so much pizza during the day, I probably didn't appreciate it as much as I could have, but still a good slice. Garlic Knot- These things are massive! They also cost a lot too ($9.00 for one knot). It was good, but not $9.00 good. Lots of garlic, peel apart like a pinwheel kind of. Tasty enough. Service was friendly enough. I would come back if in the area to try out different slices.

    The white and margarita slices were my favorite!
    Jennifer T.

    The pizza is light, airy, with a buttery tasting crust. The slices are on the smaller side given their higher price. We had the upside down Sicilian, Reg cheese slice, white slice, and their margarita slice. My favorites were the margarita and the white slice. They were very good and flavorful! The white slice can use a bit more cheese, but it still was very good! My husband thought their reg cheese slices were very good. I thought the upside down slice was disappointing. The sauce didn't have any flavor in that slice. Overall the pizza was very good here. I recommend Corner Slice in Maplewood!

    Excellent pizza close to home. I saw this place in NJ.com as one of the best pizza places in NJ, so I gave it a try. I ordered Upside Down pizza at a specific time, 3:00 pm, from their website. I got a text message around 2:50 p.m. stating that the pizza was ready. Pizza is awesome. This is now my favorite place. I will try garbage pizza next time. The place is spotless and everything looks perfect. I recommend it if you are looking for a great pizza in the area. A gentleman who handled my pizza was a nice guy, very friendly--service with a smile. There is no parking, only street parking, but it was easy to find since the neighborhood is well-organized.

    Pepperoni slice, garbage slice, upside down. All exceptional but garbage was my hands down favorite
    meron R.

    Amazing square pizza. I highly recommend going here if you enjoy super crunchy flavorful square slice pizza. The menu is pretty simple as is the seating at corner slice. Of the slices I tried my top choice would def be their garbage pie which has red onion sausage jalapeño. This is just so flavorful. Can't wait to go back

    Krista B.

    They do what they do really well. Their slices remind me of Pizza Hut pan pie back in the 70s/80s if you're old enough to remember that. Crispy, light, airy, and the bottom of the crust is slightly oily, in a good way, as in not dry. I'm not usually a crust eater but I actually ate a fair bit of my crust. Service is good and they bring it to your table if they're not busy. The vibe is classic corner pizza joint with some funky touches like the old sign from their former city spot. Make sure to check out all the cool stickers in the bathroom!

    After almost 6 years of supporting #SmallBusiness one bite at a time, @BigDudesBigFoods has reached our 1000th post. We headed down to #MaplewoodNJ to @Corner_Slice , an awesome pizza slice shop with a top notch selection of square pies. Mike and his #CornerSlice crew hooked us up with a flight of slices from their famous upside down to Margherita to #BuffaloChicken. My favorite was this week's special, #ChickenBaconRanch and Joe's was the #GarbagePie . The mouth watering #GarlicKnots are #BigDudesBigFoods sized for sure and delicious. This shop also has some great desserts. Today we tried the #KeyLimePie and were not disappointed. Corner Slice is a #MustStop for any pizza lover. These slices are soft in the middle and crunchy on the bottom and cooked perfectly. As you walk in and see the giant, nostalgic "Pizza" sign, block walls and church pews, it feels like a Pizza Speakeasy. You've got to get to @Corner_Slice #SupportSmallBusiness #BDBFCertified #BDBF #Foodie #Foodies

    This place is sure innovative! Owners experimenting in the back room with flavor combos...some perhaps not exactly what you would expect or want (hamburger slice, Pizza Hut style slice) but all ingredients are fresh. Pepperoni was the favorite though the white slice could have used a bit more flavor. Outside seating under the mural has Portland vibes and a nice addition to the neighborhood for sure!

    What a special treat of a (mostly) take-out pizza place nestled in a neighborhood off the beaten path! The square pizza "by-the-slice" has such a hearty yet light crust that holds up to the delicious sauce, cheese, and toppings. You order your slice(s) to be warmed up for you (awesome meal deals for sure) and try to grab one of the few seats. I love the cherry pepper bomb that makes any slice spicy, but the garbage pizza is one of the best slices for sure. There is a slice for just about everyone, from the regular plain and pepperoni to the vodka or upside down. What a fun place to add to your pizza rotation if you like to shake it up now and again!

A solid 'occasion' destination.

Polpo alla Griglia (Tender charred Spanish octopus, chick peas, julienne carrots, string beans, radish, parsley, lemon, extra virgin olive oil - $20.95) - the octopus was perfectly cooked, and the chickpeas/carrots, etc., added some delightful brightness to the dish.
