When I knew I was going to be in Highland Park, I said, "We must go to Jerusalem Pizza!!" This was one of my old haunts when I lived a few blocks away back in the 90s. Boy it is completely redone inside and looks great. I later found out that there was a bad fire here. (You can find photos of it online) I felt a little awkward because I just went up and asked for this slice and that slice & I got the vibe that I was doing it wrong. It wasn't until I sat down that I saw there is a tablet kind of ordering system. I got slices of the falafel pizza, of course that's a must, an eggplant pizza, and a stuffed pizza. All good. Delicious. Get yourself over to Jerusalem Pizza at least once in your life. read more

Jerusalem Pizza is now open after a devastating fire to their restaurant. We have been going there for decades and have always enjoyed the food. Today, January 14, 2026, I had a falafel sandwich and my wife had the fall platter with 4 sides. Our food was tasty and counter service was very efficient. The new layout is very functional and customers move quickly down the line. The restaurant interior is attractive and the bathroom is large. We were happy to see Shalom the owner, and wished him much success in this vastly improved restaurant. read more

A dairy based kosher restaurant that has excellent NY style pizza, Middle Eastern offerings, even Chinese and Mexican items. Had a slice of their standard cheese and it was all that I expected. Big slice, chewy and with a good amount of cheese perfectly done. Ordered the salad plate which you choose what salads/sides you want on it. Had the hummus, cucumber salad, Israeli salad and dolmas. It comes with a full pita, four felafel balls and tahini. Portions are generous, a meal easily on its own. Staff was nice, prompt and helpful. read more

Worst service. Please avoid.Very bad attitude from lady owner. They always forget to give falafel balls or something similar read more

This is the LAST time I'd step into that restaurant There is never any organization whatsoever inside, whoever gets served and/or pays, the food looks awful and old, the workers inside don't care at all about customer service but MOST dusturbing their kitchen is NOT clean- I found a fly in my food and per other reviews, it looks like this is an ongoing issue from the restaurant but the owner doesn't seem to do anything about it I took a picture of the wrap I ordered.. it had a fly in it STAY away from that restaurant better to go to the Kosher Dunkin Dunits few blocks down.. and their customer service is nicer read more

Good food. Good service. Good prices. I like their combination plates and their ziti pizza and their calzones.

2.5 stars for small good pizza but pricey. The pizza had a ton of mozarella on it and mushrooms which I loved. It was cheesy and delicious but the mushrooms were likely out of the can and the price was too high for a single slice that was pretty small. Their free water was also out of a disgusting pitcher that we had to buy their bottled water. At the end of the day, it got the job done. Overall, I'd come back if I'm starving on the streets of Highland Park. read more

I visit your This restaurant about a month and a half ago. I was so wanting a good slice of pizza and I entered and ask for a slice of pizza and a Coke. Wow what was I surprise delicious I couldn't believe it and the owner or the purse since that was making the pizza he was a very very friendly andHe puts pride in his pie. I recommend this restaurant. Five stars read more

I have the falafel with the four salads. The falafel is OK, today it was a little overcooked perhaps. I love experimenting with the salads as some are excellent and so are pretty meh. The meh ones are usually lacking in flavor and are bland. Overall food rating a 3. The baba ghannooj is outstanding. It takes a lot to fill me up and I always leave here feeling stuffed. Volume wise, and that's important to me, it's 5. In fact, it's kind of too bad they're closed are Friday nights because this place could be a great alternative to the grease trucks for the Rutgers binge crowd. I make that last statement semi tongue in cheek. Not much of an atmosphere here unless maybe you get a table window. The staff was very helpful. read more

great food for great prices. decor is minimal but it feels like a cozy pizzeria/deli spot. my go-tos are a falafel sandwich with some grape leaves on the side, and i've yet to have been disappointed by that. i haven't had their pizza in a while so i'd have to update this when i get the chance. friendly staff and a selection of israeli sodas are the cherry on top. compared to places in downtown new brunswick that offer similar food at significantly higher prices, jerusalem pizza can't be beat read more

amazing pizza store, i came here on a Sunday when it was super busy. I was greeted by a very friendly staff member handling the French fries, salads and drinks. once i told him what i needed i went more down the line to the pizza and they had alot of choices, the man in charge of the pizza was an old fashion Italian chef that you can see loves what he is making and wants to serve it to the best he can. This pizza store brought back old memories from when i was a kid. loved the pizza the service and the old fashion decor. read more

The eggplant pizza and falafel wrap were great tasting and inexpensive. The staff were kind to my friends and I. Though, the seating is not so spacious. Nevertheless, a good place for a casual bite. read more

Jerusalem Pizza - Eggplant pizza slice + falafel wrap! - Pizza Near Me - Highland Park, New Jersey

I love Jerusalem Pizza! It is't the closest kosher restaurant, from my house. But, i do go to Highland Park once a week, so i sometimes stop in here for a quick bite. I would normally get the pizza, but I attend a lot of events, and usually we get the pizza from here, so i just decided to get a cheese calzone. What's good here, is that the calzones are small, and filling. When i go to a regular pizzeria, the calzones are so huge, I'm full after maybe 5 bites. The bread of the calzone was perfectly crispy and crunchy. The calzone was super cheesy, and was extremely filling. The service was really quick. My food was ready as soon as I ordered it. It's also great that they deliver to East Brunswick, most pizza places in Highland Park or no pizza places in Highland Park won't deliver to my town, so it's great they deliver 20 mins away. This is an awesome place! read more

Excellent FalaFal . Pizza is fine too. Working staff is little careless . They burnt our Eggplant park on Hero completely. Mgmt should pay attention that orders placed by customers are carefully excuted. We love the place read more

This place is awesome!!! They catered an office going away party for an associate of mine who is moving to Tel Aviv. We chose this place because she has a Kosher diet. I have to say I was skeptical due to prior pics and reviews, but they did an excellent job. The presentation was nice and the food was delicious. I wish I took a picture but we couldn't stop eating. I'm kind of a food snob and Taim or Kefi in NY are my go-to's. I'll definitely be adding this to the list. Falafels, knishes, orzo salad, yellow rice dish, pasta/broccoli salad, couscous salad, pita, humus...everything was delicious! read more

Catered a large kosher family brunch yesterday. 32 Adults and 30 children. I ordered everything from JP. Family members are from Lakewood, Cleveland Heights, Englewood and Passaic. Sholom did an EXCELLENT job guiding my choices and quantities. The platters were plentiful, fresh, attractive and really delicious. Everyone was impressed and loved the food. Thank you Jerusalem Pizza! read more

I came here for the first time ever like a week ago I got a slice of pizza and the person I was with got a pizza knish. This was a very bad slice of pizza. The cheese was plastic-y with no redeeming qualities. The knish was good until my friend got to the middle of it, which was still cold. More than the food being bad, this was honestly the worst experience I've had in a pizza place ever. There was a line when we came in, so we waited in it patiently, only for both of us to be ignored by staff. They asked the people in line behind us what they wanted, when my friend got their attention that they hadn't taken our orders so they then only took his and not mine. Then at the cash register, when I tried to pay they just immediately went on to ring up the woman behind me. Because the woman's children were stepping all over my feet I took a step back and then proceeded to have to wait with cash in hand until everyone else in line was rung up before they let me pay for one slice of pizza. The food was bad and the service was awful. I wouldn't go back. I hope they don't treat customers differently like this all the time. read more

** DRIVE 100 MILES ** (I am adding this to some of my reviews because I will give five stars to a restaurant that is everything you'd hope for or expect from that kind of restaurant. DRIVE 100 MILES will be added to the ones that are worth taking a long trip for, the ones I'd drive a long way to return to.) I'm sorry, but WHY is anyone buying pizza here? There are so many fantastic salads and other things to eat - there is no reason to have the pizza unless you observe a dietary restriction that causes you to desperately have the pizza now and then because you can't eat pizza anywhere else. The falafels here are the best I've ever had. The turkish salad, I'm getting dizzy now thinking about it. Legendary baba ganoush. If you go, please have sense and order the salad sampler. You'll get four salads, plus four falafel balls and a pita bread. And you'll have leftover food for the next day, all for $7. I've been going here for twenty years and have not had the pizza once! Bring your vegetarian friends here, they can eat everything. read more

I'm almost on my way out of Highland Park, and it's sad, because these guys are the only falafel joint in town now that ShuShan Grill is closed. ShuShan did a better overall package. I think I just don't like Israeli falafel, it's totally different than Mahmoun's. So anyway, now that these guys are the only game in town, I gotta play the hand I've been dealt. To be fair, they make a nice change of pace, but something about the falafel isn't right to me. The falafels themselves need to be cooked way longer and be so much more crunchy for my taste, and I think you only get like three of them in a falafel sandwich. Then they drown it in bland salad and tons of tahini. Once you add some of that massively packed together hot pepper sauce, it gets a little nicer, but the whole thing just needs some salt. Is this some kind of imposition on the traditional Ashkenazi Jewish diet being too heavy on the sodium? I mean, yeah, there's a saltshaker, but you guys can't fix the dang tahini or falafel? My wife loves this place. Just writing this review at lunch makes me want to take the train back down to the Village and get some Mahmoun's. read more

As the only Kosher joint around, I'm going to have to endorse it. The pizza, as far as the US kosher variety goes, is good. Nice place to sit for lunch or take out for dinner. As far as the frum scene goes, this is the place. The ziti slice is my favorite thing they've got. And it may be a good idea to stay away from the sushi... J Pizza: Tutty read more

Take out order... Cheese calzone was more like Cheese matzo! Flat & flavorless! An Italian calzone is lofty & filled with gooey mounds of mozzarella & ricotta cheese. Marinara sauce was forgettable. Gluten Free personal pizza with fresh tomato & olives... SPANISH PIMENTO OLIVES! Never have I eaten a pizza with Spanish Olives unless it's a Martini flavored pizza! Black Olives accentuate pizza! The fresh tomato was deli/submarine sandwich sliced vs. chunks of red ripe juicy tomatoes! Diner beware! read more

Damn, I just got so depressed when I added up how long I've been eating here. 28 years ago I had my first combination plate of falafel, baba ganoush, hummus, the corn salad, and hmm, something else. A deep, round foil container full of mouth-watering goodness. Dinner and the next day's lunch for a starving student. I think it was around five bucks then. Now I visit once a year. This year I lied to my family and told them we were taking a later train from New York, just so we could eat dinner here. I miss all those young Israeli guys who worked there when I was at Rutgers. They'd never make eye contact with little red-headed shiksa me:) But the salads are still excellent. I've never tasted the pizza, and never ate at the ill-fated Meating Place that they briefly opened next door. If I ever move back to NJ, it would have to be within driving distance of Highland Park, just so I could have that salad plate. Oh, and now they have divided to go containers, so when I opened my leftovers at midnight back at my hotel, I didn't have corn salad flavored hummus! Why is there no Jerusalem Pizza in San Diego?? read more

The falafel here is PHENOMENOL. Best falafel i've ever had, even compared to my own freshly made falafels and falafels from New York City. I usually get the Falafel mix plate and create my own falafel sandwich with hummus. The tahini sauce is delicious and you can ask for extra too. read more

The food tasted good, however the service most definitely was not. They got our order confused with others, and were rude about talking over the order, (in which they charged extra money) e after I showed them receipt. Very, very dissapojnted. EDITED: Owners asked to speak to me after seeing my review. They proceeded to tell me that I was wrong, and not in a very pleasant way. I ended up leaving humiliated in front of the people I was with, without them resolving anything for me. Very unfortunate. read more

Ordered several dishes online. One request was ignored (add cheese) . Although the food tasted good , the portions were ridiculously small (eg, garlic knots are the size of a thumbnail, Israeli salad only filled 1/2 of a tiny container) by any comparison . The online order was ready when promised . I would probably order from this restaurant again but be more aware of how little the portions are. read more

Aweful delivery experience!!! They seem nice enough in the store but delivery has been aweful. Last week they were half an hour late with the delivery, no apology. This week the delivery was over an hour later than the seamless delivery time. Again no apologies. Two times my kids have been waiting for pizza dinner and both times proved a disappointment. Pizza is good enough...the delivery is NOT! read more

I love this place for an occasional treat. It's a little far away for me so I don't go as often as I'd like. This place is unique. Don't take anyone you hope to impress, since you order from a deli counter (there's no table service). But this place is great for take-out or a quick casual bite. That being said, I love their selection of salads and just the fact that they offer so many vegetable-based dishes! I wish other places had the same selection. The falafel here is my favorite in the area. It's full of garlic flavor - not hot & spicy like some other styles of falafel (which have their place in the falafel world too). Wonderful flavor! I do hear that their pizza isn't great - may be good for people with no other pizza options (I'm not Kosher and neither is my friend who tried the pizza). Overall this is my favorite place to go when I need my falafel fix! read more

Annoying prob best adjective. Got reprimanded for not magically knowing the proper way to order and pay and then again reprimanded for waiting for my order. Eventually when I left my kids to wait for the rest, 15 Min later they found out that the last item didn't exist plus the owner kept saying it's coming it's coming and then when realized it was out (we are talking about a stupid knish!!) he wouldn't refund the money so they gave up and took a drink instead. Maybe rude and jerk to kids more accurate adjectives. I was only saying annoying because of the reprimands not the actual dishonesty and financial cheating. Oh well, just glad don't live here and maybe next time the burger place will be open. Pretty good example of how people act when they are the only show in town and after a football game we had no other options. read more

Don't do a delivery if you far 20-30 minutes if you get pizza --- Sushi falafel only and you'll be good At the pizza store everything is excellent and fresh read more

I don't know how I feel about a place that serves Mediterranean, Pizza, AND sushi... has anyone tried the sushi from here? I digress... After being wrongfully surprised at their lack of meat toppings for pizza (duh, obviously I wasn't thinking) I went ahead and got some falafel instead. They were dry and flavorless. I personally wouldn't come back here for either Mediterranean, pizza, or sushi, but I guess it's a good option if you're on a kosher diet and have limited places to choose from. read more

I'm leaving this review specifically for the falafel. For the past four months approximately the owner change the type of pita bread he was using for the falafel and it is amazing. It's not that cheap hard pita a lot of places use and that is what he used in the past but now it is soft and just delicious pita. read more

We were looking for a place with a reliable hechsher that serves Cholov Yisroel and Pas Yisroel; and were delighted to find them. Jerusalem Kosher Restaurant is the best Kosher dairy restaurant in the Highland Park and Edison area. We always go back for their great choice of foods and cozy and friendly atmosphere. Shalom the owner and the rest of the crew always serve us with a smile and impress us with their speed! Their food is always delicious and reasonably priced. They have a board on the wall where the Jewish community post their business cards and ads and is a great source of net working for us. They also sell a few Hebrew news papers and some Kosher food products imported from Israel. Their Sushi is wonderful too! read more

Been coming here since 2000 and it hasn't changed a bit. Which is a good thing. Great salads, falafel is tops, and if extra Tahini (on everything!) is your thing - no problem, and they do it happily! Had the pizza only once, was not a fan - I don't ever order pizza here. Get the other dishes - you won't regret it! Prices make me happy, so do the portions, I usually have food left over. Lots of hustle and bustle of the Highland Park locals, alas, I do miss that town. I stop in when I can these days. You are stil my favorite falafel in NJ. There's street parking and a free pubic town lot almost directly across the street.. Parking and seating inside can get crowded, or not,ya just never know. Three Cheers for Jerusalem Pizza! read more

Skip the pizza and try the falafel and baba ganoush, those along with the hummus are the real stars of JP. The atmosphere is a little awkward (for a lack of a better word), but well worth the deliciousness that is their combination plate. Just remember, restaurant name aside: Skip the pizza! read more

This had to be one of the worst experiences I've had in a pizza place. I've been here twice, the first time was whatever (even though the staff was rude) but when I gave it another shot yesterday I had the same experience. I will literally never go back there again. 20 dollars for a large pie even though the menu said 10.25 ...the owner or someone in charge explained to me "it was a big pie" that's why it was so much money but refused and ignored that it was advertised at a different price... he repeatedly asked me for my last name when all I was doing was ordering a pizza, he had my first name and I was standing right in front of him. He kept prying to get it and wouldn't stop. After we got the pizza it was very undercooked and some of the worst pizza I've ever eaten. Besides the rude staff, overpriced awful tasting food, and poor customer service the establishment itself smelled and was not clean at all...do not eat here, this place is AWFUL LITERALLY AWFUL read more

the falafel sandwich and four salads combo for $7.50 is a great deal. pretty good "salads " to choose from including baba ghanouj, hummus, tabouli. good selection of soups.. the pizza is mediocre and the pasta looks almost certainlyb storebought and uninteresting.. predomoninantly Jewish clientele. seating is very crowded together.. lots of families with kids come here so it can be noisy read more

This was the only place open in highland park on a recent stormy Sunday night. The power had been off for a day and the area was under a boil water restriction. I had a fallafel and had the worst bowel movement in years. Not sure if it was the unorthodox cabbage in the fallafel or maybe the owner was not aware his power had been off and he needed to boil the water? I think I will stay with the Palestinians when I eat fallafel. read more

Not a fan. Other kosher pizza places in the area are much better in terms of selection, service, food, and cleanliness.

The pizza is hit or miss, usually a miss. The felafel is good as is the eggplant parm. There's usually enough seating but it can get crowded at peak mealtimes with lots of families. It's the only kosher pizza around so you're stuck if that's your scene. read more
