Pizza Knight is absolutely crushing it for bringing "Detroit-style" Pizza here to North Jersey! In a state where there is a pizzeria on almost every block, although a New-York slice is legendary --- it is America, and I do need a bit of diversity with my pie, and this was a welcome change. Called in to make an order, and the owner say it was a busy day, so my pie would be reading in 45-minutes, instead of 25-30. I assumed if people are willing to frequent there, I'll join the queue. I ordered the Drunken Peps Detroit Style Pizza, which had "mozzarella cheese, two types of pepperoni (original sliced/cup & char), homemade vodka sauce, and freshly grated pecorino romano cheese." First off, the pie is huge --- completely worth the $26.96 I paid for it. Secondly, the photos don't do it justice --- it is steaming hot upon pick-up, and that very generous layer of sauce on the top was *chef's kiss*. Although the crust may appear very dark i the photos, it was actually perfect --- and provided that nice *crunch* and *crackle* that those crunchy cheesy edges provide. If you're in the area and looking for some pizza -variety- then I totally recommend this place. Pizza Knight for the win! read more

I'm from the West Coast and whenever I spend time in the Tri-state area. I have to sample NY style pizza. Pizza Knight did an amazing job with my order of a plain cheese pie!! It was absolutely delicious! THANKS! read more

Decided to order our annual NYE pizza pie from Pizza Knight this year since I've had it bookmarked for a while, and I've been wanting to try their Detroit-Style pizza. We went with the Drunken Peps (mozzarella cheese, two types of pepperoni (original sliced/cup & char), homemade vodka sauce, and freshly grated pecorino Romano cheese). It was a bit too much sauce for me, especially since the sauce was meh. The actual pizza itself was also more like a focaccia rather than Detroit-Style. The edges were also too crispy for me - almost burnt. Not sure I'd try another pie but glad I got to cross this one off my list. I just hope this pie is not indicative of what my 2026 is going to look like. read more

This is an update review. Losing a Star. Rumor has it under new ownership. Same menu Detroit style pizza was not a good version of Detroit style at all. Wings have gotten smaller too. Guess it had it's 15 minutes of fame. read more

I ordered from here on Sunday for Super Bowl, it didn't disappoint it was so good! The pizza came hot, crispy and the right amount of all the ingredients. We ordered the pie with cup and char pepperoni with hot honey so delicious. read more

This is not what I'd consider Detroit style. My whole fam did not enjoy, something off. Sauce not good. Do not recommend, sorry

Drunken Margherita Detroit will be a go to. Not sure who else in the area even does Detroit style. The white was a little bland. The plain was on the salty side but I'll try it again in the future. I'm looking forward to different ones for next time. read more

I'm stunned by all the reviews four and five stars. I'm not sure if it was an off day. I triple checked to make sure I actually went to the same place that all these reviewers are reviewing. The pie was OK not enough cheese and the sauce was dry. The Detroit pie with pepperoni was insanely salty. I thought at first that maybe it was the pepperoni, but it was definitely the sauce. I did ask for well done, but I think they went a bit overboard as you could see from the picture. I actually wanted to try this place so bad I went off of keto that I've been on for four months. The juice sadly wasn't worth the squeeze or post meal keto flu. They also pass on the credit card fee to the customer. Knight Pizza - checkmate out! read more

The pizza here is one of the better ones in the area. Crust is crunchy but soft enough. Dough is is right amount of texture. Cheese is good. Maybe little on the salty side (maybe was the pepperoni?? Sauce should be named awesome sauce. Service is friendly. I need to stay away before I become diabetic again. This love hate relationship is killing me read more

This is literally one of THE best pepperoni sicilian pie that I have ever had in my life including NYC . Saucy, flavorful, Caramelized crust & fresh . Also the employees are very friendly and nice which is cool to still see these days. 10 out of 10 Dare I say Top 5 Pizzeria in Bergen County read more

There are different levels to the pizza game and Pizza Knight is definitely on that NEXT level! On a mission to try every well-received pizza joint in NJ, we hit up Pizza Knight twice in a matter of a week to try their popular Drunken Peps Pizza and Margherita Detroit Style Pizza. First, this spot is as super small tiny hole in the wall as it gets. So small it is that they only have a table that lifts up and down from the cashier's counter. Honestly, I had NEVER seen that before at a restaurant and it caught me by surprise when a customer actually used it! The employees were very friendly both times I came to pick up and they were right on time with my pizza pickup orders. As for taste? Superb. If you love pepperoni, the Drunken Peps Pizza will ABSOLUTELY hit the spot with 2 types of pepperoni - the original sliced, which actually sat under the cheese and the roni cups sitting above the cheese. Can I say GENIUS??? Another first for me. I had never everrrr seen a layer of pepperoni UNDER the cheese! So simple, yet so creative. I was in awe of this otherworldly genius idea. As for the Margherita Detroit Style Pizza ---- mmm, mmmmmm. That homemade marinara sauce was so tangy, yet so delicious. The pizza was so super fresh. The thickness of the pizza did catch me a little by surprise, but it was very crispy and good. Impressive? YES. Such a small pizza joint, but such pizza goodness coming out of their ovens. We might have checked the box on this spot, but there NO DOUBT in this world that this will be one of our go to pizza spots going forward ---- and we'll absolutely be eyeing the Drunken Peps Detroit Style next time! read more

Dear Detroit Style Pizza Competitors... you've got a new contender! The battle of the Detroit style pizza joints in northern NJ is heating up, but to my tastebuds- this Knight, has entered into the battlefield for a fair fight. This is a newly opened pizza shop where you can order for takeout or deliver... not really a dine in spot. The husband and wife dynamic duo have it down to a science where they are pumping out one of the best Detroit style pizza in northern NJ. That rectangle pie with edge to edge crispy melted cheese is unique to the "grab and fold" style we are used to here in the east coast. The flavors all married together give your tastebuds that new pizza experience you may have been looking for. And, it is all proportioned equally. The sauce, to cheese, to dough ratio is spot on! I got the Detroit margarita with fresh garlic and it was amazingggggg! Last, but DEFINITELY not least... Even though this is a pizzeria, this place pumps out one of the BEST chicken tenders I've ever had in my life!!! Yessss, the chicken tender appetizer just about stole the show here. Super tender, juicy, light battered, tasty, zesty, finger licking... I could NOT get enough! That buttermilk batter too MmmMmmmm! With that said, this is a super solid spot for a Detroit style pie and Chicken meal. So needless to say, their chicken parm sandwich is made with their amazing freshly made to order chicken... just a well balanced meal in my eyes. Keep up the great work Pizza Knight... It's an honor to have you aboard! read more

I am super picky about my pizza and really lucked out that we live only two blocks away from Pizza Knight! My current favorites are the Drunken Peps and Bracket Buster pizzas. I used to live in Astoria and my favorite pizza place was Andrew Bellucci's Pizzeria (RIP Andrew). The Drunken Peps pizza here reminds me of Belluci's Vodkaroni. I also love the garlic knots, they come with the best marinara sauce to dip. Caesar salad is also very solid. My friend who lives in Leonia came over and had Pizza Knight was like wow do they deliver to Leonia??? read more

The pizza here was a hit!! The pizza slice was thin but not too thin, it was the perfect bread to cheese ratio and the sauce was the best part! We got a 12" pie and it was perfect to share for 2 people. It says a lot when I even finish the pizza crust!! read more

The pictures of the pizza online don't even do it justice. The sauce is delicious and that Detroit style pizza is just so outrageous. I ordered delivery so I did not say the inside of the restaurant. From what I understand is really no place to sit, it's just to take out place I believe, but my delivery did arrive very quickly so that was good service. Definitely given a try. I would highly recommend it. read more

Called around 8:45pm on a Friday and was able to snag the last two Detroit pizzas for the night so I ordered the pepperoni and a mushroom. Went to go pick up and see that these two Detroit pizzas were literally the last two of anything left! The staff here is welcoming and friendly. The pizzas were really good and very much appreciate a new flavor in town. It's deep like a Sicilian and I enjoyed both. Crispy on the edges and soft pillowy bread beneath the sauce and cheeses. Really well done but will want to try a thin pie next time. read more

Amazing pizza crust, airy and crispy. The 12" pies are perfect for 2 people to share. You can tell each pie was prepared carefully, and the taste is 100% satisfying with generous amounts of toppings. Also, they serve the best garlic knots I've had. Each one is evenly coated with flavor, to the core! So soft and fluffy too! Their marinara sauce is out of this world! A must try for appetizers. Highly recommend this pizzeria and we will definitely return!! read more

Had heard and read great things about the chicken tenders and pizzas at PIZZA KNIGHT... And it's all true. This tiny place with a super friendly staff is kicking out some outstanding eats. The chicken was crispy, juicy, not at all salty (and lended itself to the accompanying sauce perfectly). The New York Style plain pizza was perfect, and the Drunken Peps Detroit Style was pillowy soft with crispy bottom and crunchy edges. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! (All of it...!) read more

This isn't just good pizza. This is some of the best pizza that I have ever had. I pride myself on seeking out amazing pizza all over the tri state area, and Pizza Knight ranks right at the top with my favorite spots. The guys working there were extremely nice and I even saw their delivery driver run down a guy on a sidewalk because he noticed he dropped a dollar bill. These are the kind of people and business that you want to support. The pizza was perfectly cooked and crisp, the sauce was absolutely delicious, and the cheese was the perfect amount and tasty. You can tell they use very high quality ingredients. For what might look like a hole in the wall from the outside has some of the best pizza in NJ. Won't be long until many others take notice! read more

Me and my husband have been trying to find a go to pizza spot around us and we definitely found it! We got a personal pizza and it was the perfect size for two people. I love when pizza has a good crust and this one had that. The service was also great. I can't wait to go back and try the other food that they offer. Edit: went back for the Buffalo pizza and it was amazing !!! Best I've ever had! read more

Thought I'd make my friends try a different pizza place in their neighborhood as I've never really enjoyed any of the ones nearby. Once I saw that this place had cup/curl and char pepperoni as an option I was sold! Called ahead and picked up and they were right on time as I walked in putting into the box. It looked great, when we got it home and ate it, we all commented that this was pretty good pizza, having a real nice crust with a slight perfect crunch. Staff was very friendly and all smiles. We'll definitely be back for more. They have super pizza combinations ! read more

Fresh dough is made daily and they are open till everything is sold out! The drunken peps and dirty marg were my perosnal favorites-each unique in their own way. You can customize each pie to either a round or Detroit style pie-you can't go wrong with either! Everything is homemade here which adds a special touch. Be on the look out for their new garlic parm wings for Football season-so crispy and the butter, garlic parm sauce is made to order! read more

Great pizza and you won't be disappointed no matter what you order. No more long driving trips to get great pizza. The place needs a little upgrade and is a little tight but don't pass on Pizza Knight. Friendly staff. read more

I used to be a weekly regular, sometimes ordering multiple times a week, but then I guess new owners took over and on my first order with them they delivered to the wrong address...At first they gave me some runaround over the phone saying the Slice app people would take care of it so I called them but they ended up telling me the pizza place denied the refund claiming they went to the right house. So I called Pizza Knight back and they basically accused me of trying to rip them off... I asked them to verify my house number and color of my house they finally realized they did in fact make a mistake and I didn't even get the slightest apology let alone my order delivered and I was left with a hungry family at 10pm on a Friday after waiting almost two hours for what never arrived.. I wouldn't eat here again if you paid me, trust me. read more

2nd time having it...so good! Owner is a nice guy too. This time we also got garlic knots and they're probably the best we've ever had. 5 stars! read more

Let it be known that I don't recognize boneless chicken as a thing and I consider white meat a punishment. That said, the buttermilk-battered chicken tenders are TRANSCENDENT and I fantasized about getting another order when my son, the pickiest toddler in the tri-state area, delayed playing in the pool to eat the last few pieces. Beautifully breaded, perfectly seasoned and still crisp despite 15-20 minutes in the container. As a Detroit-style-pizza aficionado, I was not impressed by the Drunken Pep pizza. The pepperoni was overwhelmingly salty and the dough more akin to a dense focaccia than a proper Detroit-style deep crust. Service was pleasant and patient, though they did forget our plates and napkins. I can't wait to get the chicken tenders again. read more

Was in the area and stumbled upon this place randomly... best decision of my life. The pizza was unreal. The sauce and cheese were so flavorful and delicious. I will definitely travel to come get this again. My husband and I can't stop talking about it! read more

Ordered pepperoni pizza twice so far . 2nd was cooked more the way I like it (crispy) but both were delicious. You won't be disappointed.

When I ordered here for lunch today the delivery driver said to me this is the best pizza in town- wow he was not wrong! First of all, the fact that they even have Detroit style pizza on their menu is a 10/10 and makes it a very unique pizzeria around here. All the mouthwatering options on the menu make it so hard to choose what you want, but also makes you eager to try them all. Aside from their menu, the pizza was delicious! Of course we had to try the Detroit style dirty margherita. It was perfect- soft doughy pizza with a perfect crispy crust and a buttery bottom to finish off. The vodka sauce on top was so fresh tasting- I highly recommend checking this new gem in town out! read more

When Pizza Knight first opened, it instantly became my #1 pizza place. But over the past year they got new owners and it's unfortunately deeply impacted the quality of the pizza. It was so bad that I found out there was a change of owners because I was so confused why the pizza was so salty and sloppy that I looked up reviews online to see if I was the only one, and found out here. I wanted to give PK another shot so I ordered it again last week and it was the same thing - the pizza looked normal but there was way too much salt, lacked the freshness, okay dough, but all too oily and overly seasoned. The garlic knots were also bad, it reminded me of something I'd see in Southern California. Fried ravioli was good though. I'm so sad to say that I won't be ordering from PK anymore . read more

I remember having Detroit style pizza when I was in college. I remember the crust was thinner, softer, and much lighter. That is not what I got today for $30. The crust was a dense, thick piece of bread with a sauce that was very salty and toppings that were not well cooked. On the other hand, the burnt cheese crust was great. read more

Delicious, delicious pizza. Great sauce, tasty cheese, and what a crust. Thicker crust. Less doughy soft crust than traditional NJ pizza but it is super tasty. Just an all around fantastic pizza. I want to try the Detroit Style pizza but the classic NY style is so good that I always get that. Great pizza toppings too. Everything is fresh and high quality. Love the meatball topping. Pepperoni is great too. Wonderful service. Always a pleasure picking up. Small shop. Clean kitchen. Great pizza. Really simple stuff done consistently well. read more

Well finally gave pizza knight a chance, I DO NOT recommend there SUBs, especially The Eggplant Sub. They are DRY,barely any sauce, one layer of the most thinnest slices of Eggplant 4 slices to be exact, more cheese then needed for bread ratio, alot of nerve not worth $14. STICK W THE PIZZA, Garlic knots are not good, either. read more

5 star review for a local pizzeria this place is great for your weekly pizza fix. Large 18in pizza that's crispy, cheesy, and has a good sauce. Detroit style was heavy sauce with lots of garlic. Crust was also very good and was even better the second day. If ordering Detroit style they ask for extra time but even with that my order was ready in 25 mins on a late Saturday afternoon. Everyone in the restaurant were super friendly. Seating is limited so it's more of your take out location. Will be back often. read more

First Detroit style I've ordered since the change in owners and it was the worst pizza I've had in my entire life. In all honesty, it seemed like it was sitting around all day and heated up when we placed the order. The dough was tough and chewy, the cheese was hard reminding me of string cheese, and it was too salty. I've never thrown pizza in the garbage but I did tonight. read more
