Central Jersey is an embarrassment of riches for pizza excellence and Princeton's Pizza Den is a worthy addition to our repertoire. The mushroom/sausage combo was amazing and well worth a visit. I could name five Jersey pizzarias off the top of my head that if relocated to Kansas would have lines around the block. Pizza Den is the real deal. Five easy stars. read more

My favorite pizza in the princeton area. Contes is great too, but I love this place's style of pizza. Crispy, fresh ingredients and excellent customer service. They go above and beyond every time. read more

Food is excellent!! Best Pizza in Central New Jersey, hands down. Skip places like alphones is skip Domino's and skip Nomad. The service and food is TOP NOTCH QUALITY oh they're local restaurants further service and food have decided to downgrade the ingredients such as at other competitors. You feel like you're eating chewy steak versus at the Pizza den, you have it excellent food. The man coasta is, uh, killer, awesome dude, really nice guy. The ambiance is quaint. Small and nice. I'd love this place. This is the best pizzeria around, skip all those others and come to the PIZZA DEN!! read more

Grabbed lunch from here today with a couple of friends and enjoyed my pizza! Pizza Den is a small restaurant located just off Nassau St., with a couple of tables for eating, a counter for ordering, and not much else. The ambiance inside feels cozy rather than claustrophobic, though, and all staff were friendly and proficient throughout. My friends and I ended up sharing the large Brooklyn Pie and it was pretty good! Not the absolute best pizza I've ever had, but it was prepared fresh (I had to wait ~5 minutes for it to cool down before I could eat!), the sauce was reasonably tangy and tasty, and the crust was high quality. Cost was reasonable, and the drink selection was decent (I ended up getting a cold green tea which hit the spot!). I could definitely see myself coming back here if in the area and craving some pizza. read more

Every time I go to Princeton this shop is different! It's towards the end of the business area but is always busy. The shop was redone into a brightly lit more modern decor. Both the store and bathroom were very clean. You can order several different kinds of slices or a whole pie. Only a few tables are available inside and out. It seems like they do a booming take out business. I had a slice of plain pizza. It was tasty with a good sauce, crispy crust and a nice amount of cheese. The usual toppings are available. Salads are also available as well as water and soda. read more

Great little pizza shop on Nassau in Princeton. I am a pepperoni pizza purist, and the pepperoni slice was very good! There are a few small tables inside the shop and a couple right outside in front too. The employees were nice and handled the lunch rush well. They were happy to see a few regulars pop in. read more

Really excellent pizza. Crispy and with a ton of flavor. If you love NJ pizza, it is on par with De Lorenzo's, Pete and Eldas and, Vic's. Service was attentive. The space is tiny but, it doesn't matter. You can even buy it by the slice. read more

Glad we found this little gem My wife & I had shared their board specials, a fig salad & fig pizza both were tasty and made with fresh ingredients, which they certainly don't skimp on We're looking forward to our next visit read more

way overpriced you don't get what you pay for. small portions and pizza is way too greasy

Good friendly place with array of speciality pizzas. Their pies come in three sizes- personal, mid, and large. Large is quite large and should be good for three (or two if you are lumber jacks). Hot pizzas always taste good and the cheese was good but not extraordinary. The basil leaves on the top seemed like they were a tad bit beyond their prime time. You can balance those pizzas with a decent selection of salads. read more

The pizza is absolutely amazing. In my opinion the best in Princeton, and I've had every one. This pizza's crust was crisp, the sauce was just the right mix of sweet and tangy. The olive oil and fresh basil was a perfect blend with the fresh mozzarella. Their Brooklyn Pie is amazing, but my personal favorite is their sauce less pie - a wonderful combination of ricotta fresh mozzarella and goat cheese with olive oil basil and garlic l it's one of the most amazing combinations I've tasted on a pizza. Even their plain pies are excellent. The ingredients are always fresh, they only use the best and take care with every pie. Nothing is ever thrown together - it's carefully prepared and you can literally taste the difference. The Pizza Den is a cozy and cool space. The staff and owners are lovely people which is always a bonus. read more

Really is a 4.5 but always grade tougher on pizza places. Service was 10 out of 10. Even though you walk up and order they still did an amazing job. Set us up properly. Made suggestions. There are a ton of good pizza places in a 30 min radius. This is up there. It prob has the freshest ingredients of any pizza place I've had. I lean towards more bar/well done pizzas. But for brick oven this is prob the best pizza I have ever had. read more

Went there for dinner with my friend when we were visiting Princeton. Cute pizza place. Small and cozy. We had a cheese pizza with some mushrooms and we enjoyed it a lot. read more

Pizza was excellent! Staff and service great! Nutella dessert was different! Pepperoni with long hots was excellent!

Great food. The triple pepperoni is for real if you love pepperoni! Give it try. You won't regret it.

First, ignore any pizza snob who gives this place a low rating based on "years" of going to the previous pizza restaurant at this location and this one not being the same (wow, issues anyone?). I've never read such petty snobbery in my life. Is this place the same as the last two pizzerias that were here, no, but they bring their own unique great qualities and the pizza here is still the best in town! I was a frequent visitor to both previous pizzerias before the new store change and really love this place! Now, when comparing places, you are never going to give an honest review of the place itself. You can't come to this new location and complain... oh no, my pizza isn't the same. That's just stupid! So, Pizza Den, a review of this location without stupidity: Inside: I absolutely love the renovations guys! I can actually sit down and enjoy my food. It not only looks aesthetically pleasing, it's comfortable and makes you want to savor your food. Food: There is no denying that the pizza oven here is BEYOND any in the area. There is something about it that turns these pies into magical miracles begging to be devoured! That in combination with the absolutely awesome sauce, cheese, and topping combination makes the pies here incomparable to anything around. The ingredients are quality, tasty, and bring life to every slice! Drinks: I love the sodas offered here. I'm not the biggest soda individual, but love the glass bottles (why does it taste so much better in glass?) and the craft flavors. If you went to the previous restaurants that were at this location. You will not be disappointed if you don't have a stick somewhere and appreciate it as a new location with its own flavor profile and great qualities. I will totally be frequenting this place and will recommend to all my friends! read more

Came in for some pizza with family. We were greeted by super pleasant staff. They took our order for a "small" 6-slice pie. We just ordered a plain pizza. While we waited for our pizza to be cooked, the woman working very kindly offered us drinks. I went to use the restroom which was extremely clean and tidy. Once our pizza was brought out, it was fresh and hot. The pizza was a nice, thin crust, and it tasted very authentic. The 6-slice pizza serves 2-3 people well. This is some of the best pizza I've had compared to other pizza shops in Princeton. The spot is cute, clean, low-key, and at the end of Nassau Street near 7-Eleven. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for a good spot for great service, fresh pizza, and a clean restaurant. read more

My boyfriend and I were in Princeton for the day and decided to stop at Pizza Den for a slice in the afternoon. This tiny, hole-in-the-wall pizza shop is located right between the two Hoagie Haven locations (a Princeton staple). When we walked in, we were the first and only customers, but just five minutes later it was swamped! The gentleman at the desk was very friendly and did a quick run through of all of the pizzas they had to offer. We were told that the pizza with toppings from the classic sandwiches at Hoagie Haven is a customer favorite, but we decided to go for a slice of the bacon and red peppers and one pepperoni instead. We also asked to add mushrooms to the pepperoni. The two slices came out to roughly $7. They told us to grab a seat at a table (they only have a few with a very limited amount of seats) while they heated up our slices. Both of the slices we chose were piping hot and delicious! The toppings were well proportionate to the size of the pizza and the crust was nice and crispy. I especially enjoyed the bacon and peppers slice. It had a slight kick to it which I really enjoyed. Took your average pizza to a new level! If you're craving pizza while in Princeton and aren't concerned about seating (beware, you might have to take your pizza to go), this is your place! I know I'll be stopping in for a slice or two next time I'm in the area! read more

Good pizza but size if more disappointing than my last relationship. Overall great pizza but for the same price I can go elsewhere for a xxl pepperoni pie and if you're a local in Princeton nj you know what I'm talking about read more

I stopped here for lunch with a friend today not sure what to expect and discovered this gem in Princeton. Pizza Den offers patrons pizza that features artisan-style crust, a marinara sauce that is on the sweeter side, and gourmet cheese. I ordered a margarita personal pie and found the quantity of these ingredients to be perfect; nothing overpowered the other ingredients. They also have an interesting soft drink selection. The prices are reasonable and the establishment is spotless. read more

I ordered a Brooklyn Pie and a Nutella dessert pizza. The Brooklyn Pie was pretty good. Better than you would get at the chains, but not as good as some of the other places I've had in the area. The nutella dessert pizza had a bit of a rough crust, but the strawberries on top more than made up for it. I would not order delivery from this place, though. I ordered delivery to my hotel and got a call that my order was left at the front desk. Other places I've ordered from have taken it to my room, but I wasn't terribly inconvenienced by it. However, when I went down to pick it up, I discovered the food was not left at the front desk. It was placed on the first table inside the front door and just left there for anyone to come by and pick up. That is unacceptable. read more

Great pie, always delicious and a proper mix of good crust, cheese and sauce. Their margherita pizza is great as well. Also, all their soda and water is in glass bottles, which is environmentally friendly and also delicious. Princeton has several good pizza options, but this is one of the top. read more

We have been struggling with mediocre pizza lately. Read the reviews and had my family pick up from here. Again- mediocre. Not looking for anything more than a crispy crust with a sweet yet savory sauce and cheese that does not turn orange when cooled. Its a shame that I can put together a better pizza with store bought ingredients which cheese that doesn't turn orange when cooled. Blech. read more

Happened to run across this place for a quick slice of pizza and it was simply AMAZING!!!. I am generally very reluctant on buying a slice of pizza as at most places it would be sitting on display for days and most cases they just warm it with lot of grease on your pizza slice. Pizza den was a different experience altogether. Have been twice to this place already in past 15 days. May be they get sold out everyday so they have new pies made everyday. Very reasonably priced and good quality food. The staff is very polite and kind too. If you are visiting in groups of 2-3 people, just order a personal pie, it would be cheaper and they will bake it for you right away. read more

Really good pizza. My son loved the pepperoni slider. I really liked the ability to have a gluten free pizza (and tomato sauce free - nightshade issue). But the main reason for my review is that in Friday night when things were very busy and a problem occurred, they went above and beyond to fix it. So many others just give you a refund and say "whoops". It's good to know that they are willing to do the right thing. read more
