a street corner with a stop sign

Pizza is possibly the best in the Downtown Newark area, especially for the cost, but don't expect friendly service because then you won't be disappointed. The one guy who tends to manage the cashier is sometimes friendly, other times quite surly, so don't take it personally and keep your eyes on the delicious prize that is the pizza. Tons of seating inside, but it can get crowded and noisy during lunch time. My preference has been Queen over Robert's for pizza, although I do frequent both -- Robert's is preferred for pasta. Due to the unfortunate fire that affected Robert's recently, Queens will be my pick for pizza for the foreseeable future.

A good spot to grab lunch in downtown Newark. They have breakfast, cold and hot sandwiches. Pizzas are sold as pies or slices. Food quality overall good, though I'd have liked them to use softer breads for our cheesesteaks. The garlic bread is average. They have a huge canteen like area for dine-in, plenty of space to sit and enjoy meal with your team/group.

Large pizza with half broccoli topping
Jeannette L.

Too tired to cook dinner yesterday, I decided to get takeout from Queen Pizza for me and my SO. I stopped inside the corner pizzeria on Halsey Street and ordered a large pie, half broccoli. The guy behind the counter was nice and told me it would be about 10 minutes as he was making it to order. While inside waiting, I looked around and noticed that the space is pretty expansive. There's ample seating with a whole area of tables and counter seating. The place has high ceilings and huge windows, so there's lots of natural light and feels airy in there. I could see it being a good lunch spot to eat in. Plus, there are two flat screen TVs. Before leaving with our pizza, I did my usual ritual - dose the pizza with garlic powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes (It's in my head, but I always think these things taste better from the pizzeria shaker. You can have them at home, but it's just not the same). Classic, NY-style pie. Great crust, just the right amount of crisp and soft, not tough at all, had a good fold. The broccoli side was not soggy at all (that's a test when ordering pizza with veggie toppings - it's done right when not soggy). Pizza was the right choice. Will definitely return and try out other items on their menu - paninis, pastas, sandwiches, hot/cold subs, burgers, etc.

Nice bubbles and color on the bottom. They know what they're doing here.

Pizza for breakfast? Yes, please. Queen Pizza was voted number 16 in the whole state of New Jersey! They make their dough every day. It's fresh and properly cooked. The cheese is great quality. Good value. Open early too!

Prudential Salad... Sorry so good I started eating it already :)  Prudential Salad
Irving R.

Been coming here for a long time now and I normally get a Prudential Salad with chicken. That salad is delicious and I highly recommend it. The pizza is better than Robert's. The place has a nice clean modern look. Highly recommend this place as a lunch spot.

Specials of the day!

Queen Pizza is always reliable. Their pizza is always very fresh. You order from the counter. Customer service is always very friendly. They have daily specials now. The Chicken Focaccia sandwich is delicious. It has Gouda, Tomatoes and Lettuce. They have a variety of beverages such as Coca-Cola, Stewarts Root Beer etc.. They even offer breakfast bagels and muffins. You'll see people from all walks of life enjoy food at Queen Pizza.

Rabe, sausage, and tomato slice.
Ziqin Y.

Everyone at work seems to have an opinion of this place, good or bad, so I finally came here for lunch yesterday not knowing what to expect. I got the pizza with rabe, sausage, and tomatoes, and I definitely liked it but it wasn't mind-blowing. The crust was crispy but not too thin to hold the toppings, and each slice was a solid portion--overall a solid slice. However, one slice was almost $4. For someone used to slices closer to $2, it felt pretty expensive for what it was, especially with cheaper options in the area.

Best pizzeria in downtown Newark by the court building and Prudential. Always fresh! The place has plenty of selections of different pies and plenty of seats for patrons. They organize the lunch rush by setting up areas to order certain type of meals, such as the pizza line, hot food line, and sandwich line. Your wait isn't that long, which is great since it's located in a busy business area. I've been to other pizzerias in the area and this is hands down the best one!

Halsey Street - breaded chicken, broccoli rabe, and mozzarella cheese on garlic bread
Christina D.

Queen Pizza is a great place to grab a quick lunch when you are in downtown Newark. When you enter there are two lines, on the left you can order sandwiches, salads, entrees, etc. and on the right you order pizza (by the pie or by the slice). My go-to meal is the Halsey Street sandwich with chicken cutlet (vs. grilled chicken) which is garlic bread, breaded chicken, broccoli rabe, and mozzarella cheese. It is delicious. The garlic bread is crispy and the broccoli rabe adds a nice tartness. Sometimes, the chicken can be a bit dry but overall the flavor is good. My friends always get their pizza by the slice and they say the pizza is delicious and the slices are huge!

Girls' night rule #1: pick a place with a vibe. Girls' night…read morerule #2: the food better back it up. Burke's Tavern understood the assignment. None of us had been before, so we walked in blind, except not really, because the second we stepped inside the vibe hit us. Dimmed lights (but not "can't read the menu" dim), candles glowing, plants everywhere, music just loud enough to feel cool but not loud enough to ruin the gossip. Cozy. Chill. Cute. The holy trinity. It wasn't packed, so we had seating options and landed at a round table in the middle: elite positioning, honestly. Door and front windows on one side, bar view on the other. Prime people-watching real estate. Now let's discuss the important part: the food. We ordered strategically (read: everything we wanted). Lamb meatballs - 10/10. Holy crap. I don't know who is back there doing what, but please continue. Burrata pizza - absolutely delicious. Gone in record time. Gochu-Crispy-Chikin - no notes. Million Dollar Chicken - appropriately named. Fish 'N' Chips - zero complaints across the table. And that's the thing: not a single person in the group had an issue. No side-eye. No "it's good, but..." Just clean plates and happy energy. Now. Parking? Disrespectful. It's on a corner (love that), but finding parking took effort (do not love that). Would I let that stop me? Absolutely not. Parking be damned. I will circle. I will walk. I will manifest a spot. Because this place is such a vibe that it's already secured a return visit -- brunch is calling, and I need to see what this place feels like when the weather warms up. Girls' night/date night/ANY night approved.

We were in Newark a late afternoon on a Sunday and looking for a burger. Went to another famous…read morelocal place and it was closed so decided to try Burke's Tavern. The atmosphere and restaurant look great. It has a good vibe and the service was great. Let me tell you about the burger, not the best, they give you a slider size patty, overcooked and served on a bun that comes apart when you grab it. I'm not sure about the rest of the menu, but not a burger place. Now the chocolate cake with the raspberry ice cream--wow! This was the best part of the meal. I'm giving this place 4 stars even though I didn't like the burger because that's all I tried. I'll come back and revise this rating up/down if I come back and try other menu items. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

This pizza parlor (does anyone use that term anymore?!) has been going strong for decades…read more To be honest I was always partial to Nino's III in Kearny - much closer to where I used to live and their chicken-and-broccoli slice was a thing of beauty. (I believe Nino's II existed for a quick moment up there in North Arlington but my memory ain't what it used to be.) After driving past (the original) Nino's on the way home from work for the last few months I realized I was overdue for a visit. First thing: from the outside it looks a bit weathered but inside? It's vibrant and lively and eased my initial concerns. (As soon as I walked in at the very first table was a little kid and his abuela. He made it a point to interact with me coming and leaving and that kid made my day... he's getting 5-stars for being awesome!) As for the pizza... it's a respectable "large" - they ain't skimping, which is a nice change of pace. (Hats off to the pizzaiolo because it wasn't a true/normal/expected circle but something closer to a Reuleaux triangle mixed with a squircle.) Geometry aside... the pie tasted good. Nothing flashy or fancy - just a legit (thin) pie. The (steak) fries were a bit bland and boring, I can't lie. And their cavatelli and broccoli was... decent. It would've benefited from a bit more 'pop' (salt, olive oil, garlic, you name it.) I haven't been here in eons and I hope they'll be around for another 40-something-years. Worth mentioning: it's one of the very few pizzerias to have a liquor license. (I'd definitely come back again for the not-so-perfectly-round pizza but would pass on the fries and pasta...)

This hidden gem in the Harrison Shopping Plaza serves some surprisingly delicious pizzas. We tried…read morea pepperoni slice, a chicken slice, and a plain Sicilian slice. The pepperoni and Sicilian slices were particularly impressive, and I would even say this is the best Sicilian pizza I've ever had. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a tasty pizza experience. However, the restaurant appears to be quite deserted, and it would definitely benefit from more patrons to ensure it receives the attention it deserves.

Newark, NJ - we came here for a quick pre-show bite before a Sunday matinee at NJPAC since it was…read moreclose by, and wow, was I surprised by how good the pizza is for a fast-casual chain! Backed by celebrity investors like LeBron James and Maria Shriver, the concept is an assembly-line approach to customizable artisanal-style pies. Think Chipotle, but make it pizza. Personal sized, thin crust pizza (6 slices) is built right in front of you in an open kitchen, then fired in an oven for 3 minutes. You can finish things off with drizzles of various sauces or a handful of arugula if you fancy extra embellishment. Choose a signature pie or build your own - I love that you can have any toppings for one flat price. For the allergen or diet conscious: gluten-free, cauli, and keto crusts are all available alongside the original and high-rise doughs. We also tried the protein-zza, a California-style chicken & veggie pizza made with cauliflower crust. I was fully prepared to be smug about detecting the alternative crust, but couldn't tell the difference at all. It was generously loaded with toppings, and the roasted garlic really made the taste pop. Fresh, vibrant flavors all around. We went on a Sunday so it wasn't too crowded and service was swift, and the pizzas came out beautifully. For a quick-serve franchise, this place delivered high-performance pies that defied my expectations.

They used to use fresh ingredients and never got it wrong. The last three times I've ordered I was very disappointed. Out of all the toppings I ordered I got cheese and spinach and it tasted old, as if someone didn't pick their order up and the just reheated and resold. It's a shame because this was my go to place. I feel just because we're in Newark doesn't mean you should skimp on quality. And it was only 11:30 am.
