I was in the mood for some pasta so I decided to check this place out. They had a good review on Uber Eats and in here as well. Ordered the penne à la vodka with chicken. The sauce was pretty good, could have defiantly used more sauce. The chicken was like a fried chicken cutlet and it was over cooked and dry, a piece of grilled chicken would have been much better. read more

Queen Pizza II - Penne alla vodka - Italian Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

Your classic pizza joint in the heart of downtown Newark. They actually have two locations not too far from each other. Classic football style pizza. I also enjoyed their chicken chicken steak sandwich. Friendly workers and they have tons of seating if you want to seat there before heading out. If you're craving pizza and you're waiting for your turn, highly recommend stopping by this place. read more

Great place to get decent food in an area with not too many options for an affordable lunch. It may not be mind blowingly good pizza but it is probably the best pizza place in a 1 mile radius for the price. Service is excellent and friendly. Plenty of seats inside even during peak lunch rush. Haven't been here lately due to remote work but it is still as good as what I remembered. Highly recommend if you are in the area for the game or right before you get on the train. read more

Looks like they do Deep Dish Pizzas here too. Love this nice small place to eat pizza, Lots of sauce and Pepperoni pizzas here. I wanted a couple slices of the Grandma pie i heard all of the hype about, and the taste was fire too. Cool vibe and nice crew here. I will be back again. read more

You can place orders through the Yelp app also. Plus, everyone inside working is nice. Highly recommended! read more

Decent pizza slices. About $3 for a plain slice. People working there are nice. Sicilian slices decent also.

I have been in love with their regular pizza since day one!!! I wanted to try something different. That's why I ordered a veggie roll and a grandpa slice. And I absolutely loved it!!! The portions are good and tasty too. read more

Queen Pizza II - Veggie Roll Grandpa Pizza Grandpa Slice - Italian Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

The service was the best part of our meal here. The pizza was very tasty, and they took care of us quickly. It was well worth the drive while we were visiting New York. The crust was perfectly done. The sauce was a great flavor, and overall five star pizza. read more

Very delicious. I love thing crust and I've only had the cheese so I can imagine the others are really good too. I had a cheese slice and it's very fresh and cheesy. They have the assortment of condiments and seasonings you can put on the slice in a common area in the restaurant. They also offer soups and salads. It loses 1 star because I tried a soup from there and it was too salty. But this is a go to place for just pizza. read more

My favorite pizza restaurant. Pizza is thin and delicious !!! Customer Service is very friendly. Also, the Restaurant is extremely clean. read more

I remember coming here many moons ago remembering nothing spectacular about this place. I honestly didn't know so many people from my office actually come here to sit and have a slice or two because I'm not that impressed. While they have renovated a lot of the restaurant the food remains a bit on the bland side. Although I appreciate their slices not to be too thin or too thick, the flavor simply came up lacking. $7.10 for my vegetable roll and a snapple. It's Fun Fact #904 reads: If done perfectly, any Rubick's Cube combination can be solved in 17 turns. Was probably the most amusing thing that happened. (As his last meal) my project manager leaving the company to go somewhere else making me deal with the client directly - not that amusing. read more

The place was packed when I arrived. Old style pizza parlor, prob not as common these days, looks like there hasn't been any renovations in a long time. I'm not bothered by that, it was a clean facility and that's all that matters. They keep it simple, walk up to the counter, place your order and watch as they craft a pie. It was alright. Not a fan of the flavor I'm particular about my pizza and I think it's a pizza people will be 50/50 on. Guy taking my order was polite, made quick work of it. Service over all was a good experience. read more

Queens Pizza is pretty darn good. I r been there a few times. Order and pay at the counter. The staff are always friendly. I usually order a slice of pepperoni and they always take a slice of plain, place the pepperoni slices on it, then place it in the oven. A few minutes later, it comes out and piping hot. They have all the spices (red pepper, oregano, salt, pepper, etc.) and cheese on a side table. They have a large selection of drinks (bottled and fountain). Will continue to come as long as I work in Newark. read more

Queen Pizza II - Pepperoni Pizza and a Coke - Italian Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

They have been in Newark seems like forever - definitely 30 plus years. The pizza is good, a bit of variety too, and the square pie is great. They offer cold subs, hot subs, even a few meals (meatballs/spaghetti) and salads with deli meats, also French fries. The prices aren't bad, and the food is good. Enjoy. read more

No frills decor. Some of the friendliest people behind the counter. Many locals going in and out and the owner knows many by name. Tasty and affordable slices. I went with plain both times. The white slice with tomatoes looks gawl dang good and I'll be sure to try that one tomorrow, as I'm in town for a few days. read more

I love the Queen Pizza its a great local franchise. I usually ate at the original one but after the block was renovated it's more of a daytime/ lunchtime spot. This place is great, if you need good jersey pizza this is the best place to go. read more

Slices made fresh daily. If they don't have it on the bar, they will make it for you relatively quickly. Clean restaurant with friendly staff. Always busy around lunch time for a reason. read more

Sub-Par Pizza. I decided to go out for lunch today because of the perfect weather and stumbled across Queen Pizza 2. The place was packed, but after tasting their pizza, I question why? I had a plain slice with mushrooms and a slice of white pizza. The plain was thin and was sub-par. The white slice was thicker with higher quality cheese. read more

Fast, cheap, and tasty. The crust is thin, your best bet is coming when it's busy, you'll get a fresh/hot slice guaranteed. I prefer their broccoli slice or their white. It's just simple pizza. read more

The staff is friendly and the food is ok. If you're working nj the area , they have decent pizza pasta and sandwiches but nothing spectacular. It's just a regular pizza parlor w lots of seating and The atmosphere is comfortable, and the price is right Overall, Pizza is average, sandwiches are average and if you're in the mood for this type of food, you can't go wrong here. read more

Just came back from eating 1/3 of an under cooked sicilian slice w/ no taste or quality. Take what you can get in Newark. This joint would never make it in a million years in NYC!! Pizza tastes like wet cardboard, and that is on a good day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A good pizza establishment would put this one out of business if located near by. read more

The pizza is on point here. I usually judge a place by their plain slice and their plain is thin, crispy, and with just the right ratio of sauce to cheese. It's cheesy without being too dry. I've also had their buffalo chicken and spinach slices but my go to is the plain slice. They make sandwiches, pasta, and salads. They'e a great go to pizza spot when you work in the area. The staff is friendly and work quick with the busy lunch crowd. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm craving pizza. read more

43 of us college kids got complimentary Queens pizza from one of the administrators of Newarks downtown district block-by-block city restoration program. The cheese pizza is just so delicious and beats out much of the pizzas I've had around Michigan apart from Detroit-style pizzerias like Buddy's. I think its representative of the area being so close to New York City and all but a really quality pizza that's been around since 1910, I believe. Uses local ingredients that supports Newark and that's something to be proud about as well. Great pizza overall and would definitely recommend to friends and family. read more

CHICKEN SALAD WITH OIL AND VINEGAR! DO I HAVE TO SAY MORE? I love this spot for a slice or a nice refreshing salad. I also have tried the chicken sandwiches and they are amazing. These guys really do make some good italian/american cuisine. It's always packed in there, so make sure to call ahead and pick up your order. Nice friendly cashiers and I will always keep coming back! read more

Our go to spot for a quick slice (or two) for lunch. As a bit of a pizza snob, I personally think this is good and real NJ pizza. Line moves fast too! read more

My friend and i happened upon this place while shopping. We ordered a plain slice and stromboli. Everything was perfect. We had no complaints about anything. The stromboli was the perfect size and the sauce with it was excellent. My friend loved the plain slice.The staff was very nice and the place had lots of room to sit. Well definitely go there again when were in the area. read more

Being a local from the area, it's hard to find a place that is quick and easy. Queens pizza is that place. This place rocks!! The food is spectacular and the pizza is great. The price is better than most areas and you can't go wrong with that. The atmosphere is welcoming and the owner is pretty cool. They also cater as well. Their meat lovers and Sicilian is awesome. read more

I'd prefer not to eat in places where the women are addressed by "Honey" and "Baby", and the men are addressed as "Sir".

I work in Newark so I've been here many times over the years. I think it's the best pizza in Newark. The slices are big and tasty. There is usually a long line if you get there at the wrong time. The salads are very impressive as are the hot dishes like chicken and eggplant parm. They actually catered an office party for us and all the pizza and hot dishes were really good. They were really easy to deal with and very accommodating. read more

I've been going here for 7 years. The owners are two brothers from Naples. They are real Italians from Naples, the birthplace of pizza, and pizzamaking is in their blood. I've been all over Italy and all over the outerboroughs of NYC and I know pizza. This is the best non-brick oven pizza that I've ever had in the United States, plain and simple. It's worth the trip from anywhere. read more

The name of the place is Queen Pizza II. With all of the eateries in the area, this place stands out as having excellent pizza. Our office has placed large orders with them over the years 6-20 pies at any given time and all of them were delicious. The buffalo chicken pizza was amazing and the sausage pizza in my personal favorite. The spinach or broccoli pies are always enjoyed here. Anyone whining about this pizza obviously hit a glitch and should have said something because they would put it right. For really BAD pizza -- go to Metro Cafe, they make frozen, microwave pizza look good. Our office has over 200 employees and if put to a vote, Queen Pizza II would win as the best pizza in the area -- HANDS DOWN! The only reason I didn't give this place 5-stars, I reserve top marks for "dining" where the restaurant has a chef and should have an attentive waitstaff, there are people that would give 5-stars to McD's, I'm not one of them. They more than earned 4-stars for quality, consistency, and great service through the years. read more
