Best food I have ever tried. I come here at least once a week with my kids. Super high-quality ingredients, service is top-tier

31 bucks for a white pie that is absolutely delicious! Love it jazzed up with some shredded carrots and sriracha! Service is okay! read more

See all

Disappointing. The website says they close at 7:30; the phone message says 8:30. When you call, they say they close at 7:15. When you tell them the different messages, they hang up on you. It is the "nine days"- a time when those who keep kosher traditionally eat dairy. I would have expected they would accommodate the community. I have eaten there recently and found the food okay at best. read more

Would avoid this place , had a small pizza which tasted not bad at all firm crust , service is mediocre, ambiance is very plain and needs to be cleaned. After eating the pizza , later in the night I had major diarrhea, nausea to the point where I had to force myself to bed early. Just go to any Italian place nearby and save your $ read more

I didn't actually eat from here but my client likes this place so I order from here since it is kosher. The prices are super good and very convenient. Very clean and good customer service as well. They should definitely open more of these places. read more

Jerusalem Restaurant & Catering - tables and chairs in a restaurant - Kosher Near Me - Elizabeth, New Jersey

Was not going to go because I read these reviews before our family outing on Sunday to the nearby Seaquest in the mall. Boy am I glad we decided to go! The kids all loved the pizza and the adults loved the side dishes and especially the salads. It was a super packed shop as it is mid-winter vacation however the staff calmly prepared all the food for the customers in a very timely and courteous way. We were a very large group yet there was room for all of us. Yes, its not a super high-end decor location. Older school feel and design. The food was tasty and fresh. I give a lot of credit to the woman (who seemed to be of Pakistan descent but I apologize if I am wrong on that). She was very patient and did not get overwhelmed by the crowd. The guy making the pizza and the owner as well all worked great under the pressure. A gentleman came out to clean tables as soon as others left. Overall we all had a nice time and left full... Wishing the owner only continued success! read more

The kosher pizza is certainly ok enough, and as in most towns it's the only game in town. But it is a disgusting place to which no decorating or maintenance attention has been paid in decades. The workers are slovenly and barely acknowledge you. One of them left a coat on the floor in the seating area and it just say there. Order out or get it delivered. But stay away from this dismal place. read more

I ordered for delivery through DoorDash - DISGUSTING! I ordered the "famous" Jerusalem platter and it looks like someone took a dump in a metal tray. The "warm pita" it is supposed to come was pathetic - it was STALE and COLD. the rest of the items were also COLD. I called the restaurant and they basically told me that because I ordered through DoorDash there's nothing I could do, and blamed it on the delivery direr (note, I am less than 2 miles, 7 min from the restaurant). RUDE and DISGUSTING! WILL NEVER ORDER FROM HERE AGAIN! read more

Long before I moved into this area of Elizabeth, NJ it was largely a Jewish neighborhood. The ethnic make up has shifted quite a bit in recent years leaning towards a mixture of cultures from South America. As such, many of the old Jewish businesses have slowly migrated elsewhere. One of the few remaining businesses is Jerusalem Pizza. The name is deceptive however as it does much more than serve pizza. The restaurant is laid out very much "cafeteria/no frills" style with a cafeteria like buffet counter where you select items ranging from chicken dishes to hummus. I didn't sample any of those on my visit, I instead chose to go for the item that the place uses in its name: pizza. Off to the right of the buffet counter is the selection of pizza which was quite extensive. It's kosher, so don't expect meaty pies, but do expect spinach, mushrooms and even french fries(!) on a pizza. On this visit I decided to have my old stand by/favorite slice: regular slice with mushrooms. The slice is quite large, and for the price ($3.75) I was thankful. This was a Manhattan priced slice and I was actually a bit shocked (in contrast, another pizza joint I frequent a few towns away only asks about $2.75 for the same slice). As slices go, it was average. The sauce needed a lot more flavor, but the mushrooms were good and springy in their bite and the crust was flavorful with a nice, crisp bottom layer and chewy bread on top. There's nothing memorable about the slice, and honestly had the slice been cheaper this review may have more stars. In all fairness, I'm rating this review based on just the pizza. There's a whole other menu to be tried and I intend to visit again later to try out some of their other fare. read more

An infrequent dining destination when the dietary restrictions of our dining companions dictate. My expectation is never high, and on that basis, I'm pleasantly surprised more times than not. Their pizzas really aren't bad, if you're fortunate to be served on their first heating. Most of the Middle Eastern dishes are good, with their hummus and falafel leading the pack. I've also had their baked salmon; underseasoned and overcooked. Prices are very reasonable. Crowded, with cafeteria style service and small tables, it can also get noisy here. read more

With the sad demise of Goodman's Deli next door, this is one of the last bastions of Jewish cuisine in this neighborhood, whose ethnic base is rapidly shifting. The food here is doled out cafeteria-style. Menu items include Middle Eastern specialties, such as a very good roasted eggplant salad and decent hummus, plus falafel, Turkish salad, Israeli salad (diced tomatoes, cucumber, and bell peppers in a dill vinaigrette), tabouii, etc. They also have hot soups, baked fish, kugels, and knishes. The falafel, reaheated to order in the microwave, is not very good, though, and neither is the bland tabouli. They give you a stale pita bread from a plastic bag, for dipping. The baked pastas and pizzas here are kosher, so don't expect any sausage or pepperoni with that. The pizza and most of the other hot food here does not appeal to me, but I'm still giving it an OK rating for some of the cold Mediterranean salads, which hit the spot when I am in the mood. read more

I've finally decided that I'm never coming back to Jerusalem Pizza again. I think the quality of Jerusalem Pizza's food has been on the steady decline for the last decade now. I used to go when I wanted some falafel but now there are better, fresher options locally. Furthermore, the owner of this place would do better if he didn't deal with customers. I stopped in last week just after the Passover holiday. When it was my turn to order, I politely asked for the standard, 'Old Jerusalem Combo'. The owner looked at me with a dead stare and said "No" then turned his back on me. Someone else finally awkwardly took my order. If they had great food here, maybe just maybe I could get past the terrible attitude of the owner, but they don't anymore. Their falafel is usually dried up and stale. read more

The most dirty place I have ever been to,falafel was warmed in oven not fresh at all ,vegetables are horrible and soggy like a week old . Pizza tasted rubbery like it was microwaved. If you want to stay in business correct and refresh your kitchen I'm very very disappointed! read more

I've only been here one time but I was impressed by the quirky set up and totally lethargic owner. The guy was an emotionless statue, and I totally respect him for that. I hate to be a redundant Rachel, but yes, the food is slopped on your tray like a high school cafeteria. I ordered the falafel wrap with a side of hummus and a salad. All were above average and are hereby recommended. Consider yourself dealt with. read more

It's ok place to get quick pizza and go they also got great falafel and salad they also do the school lunch the kids are happy

Guys this place is potentially a little jem in Elizabeth. Im writing this review 2 years after not going back. Your decor and menu is outdated. You place doesn't feel welcoming and these are some reasons why I never went back. Please do something. You guys can be the talk of the town again but until them I'm staying away. read more

Looking for a kosher spot near Newark airport, this fit the bill as a neighborhood pizza joint, pizza was decent, the rest of the food was fresh and ridiculously cheap. no frills, messiness more of an issue then cleanliness. I would go back if time was limited and I had a flight in/out of Newark airport. read more

Reminds me of the falafel I grew up with in NYC. I'm a big fan of Jerusalem Pizza, been looking for this since I moved to the area.

The food and pricing is most of the times decent to good their falafel when fresh is the best, however their service is really cold and rude real Israeli style with a stitch of Mexican (on the negative side). Overall for a quick take out or sit in cafeteria with not many options for dairy kosher in the neighborhood it's not bad!! read more

Love their whole wheat pizza! They also have a gluten free option. Tuna and salads are spectacular. They recently somewhat remodeled the place so it looks a bit better inside. read more

Good food, lots of options, but not exactly the best looking place in the world. You come here for what you come here for. At least they had options for my vegan and vegetarian brothers. read more

Old pizza at high prices. ONLY for those who MUST eat kosher.

Extremely expensive for the quality of food they Served and unfriendly staff an owner

Soup & slice hit the spot. Great service and pleasant staff. We ordered the butternut squash soup, a slice of pizza plus a side of steamed vegetables. Will return read more

Good Kosher food, which means no meat (pepperoni, sausage or ground beef) on the pizza or any other food. Also good for vegetarians who eat dairy products. Good pizza, better than average falafel, and great Mediteranian and other food in the combination platters. My brother-in-law likes to get a combo plate when he visits, even if they are driving through Brooklyn (with many Kosher eateries) after they leave Elizabeth. The food is served cafeteria style, and the prices are very reasonable. Under the hashgacha of the Va'ad Harabanim of Elizabeth/Hillside, chaired by Rav Elazar M. Teitz. read more

I give it a 5 because they have the single best baba ganoush I have had, anywhere. The hummus is just about the best I have had anywhere. Falafel is also great. Small place, tiny tables. Neighborhood not so pleasant. But food is spot on. read more

Clean restaurant with fresh food and a good range of menu items. Creative pizza dishes and toppings, too. Strictly kosher. Tables are self service (cafeteria style) and a bit crowded. Prices are reasonable. Also great for vegetarians. read more

Terrible Service! I had called twice the week before my daughter's birthday party. The woman I spoke to on the phone assured me that there would be no problem delivering the pies the day of the party. On the day of the party, I called the restaurant when the pizza's should have been delivered and the gentleman on the phone told me that he had no record for delivery. I was stuck at the last minute running to the bagel store. Not only had they ruined the order, they were not remotely apologetic for the mistake. read more

its ok place the pizza no bad and the falafel is good my kids like this place me 2

coming from brooklyn with tons of options of kosher pizza and can pick and choose which pizza i want. this is not the case in Elizabeth and I am stuck with this place. I come here because i have no choice. Pizza is never fresh and often reheated multiple times. Doubt its any good on first go around. I did try the stuffed crust pizza which is wee bit better than the regular slice. read more

The pizza was not great, but it was edible. The falafel was the exact same way, and I felt rushed to eat and leave because a party wanted my table. When I went to pay they also wouldn't take my AMEX, but when I asked they said they would. read more
