    Honestly, the experience is hard to describe in one word. The pizza itself was seasoned well. The Margherita and mushroom pies had nicely balanced tomato sauce and good cheese flavor, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. However, the crust was burnt enough to affect the whole meal. The first slices were fine, but by the end it felt like chewing on charcoal. The smoky aftertaste stayed in my throat. The grapefruit cocktail didn't taste like grapefruit at all -- more like artificial lychee syrup. I took one sip and left it. Seating was also disappointing. It felt like they expanded into a neighboring café space without updating it. The lighting wasn't harsh, just very plain and flat, and the decor didn't match the main restaurant. The whole area felt unfinished and lacking atmosphere. The meatballs were just okay -- very standard, nothing memorable. In summary, while the pizza flavors were solid, the burnt crust, strange seating situation, and bad cocktail made the overall experience just average. Definitely reserve ahead if you're going.

    GET THE MEATBALLS AND RICOTTA. Wow I am still thinking about them weeks later. They were so soft and flavorful. The crusts of the pizzas were very light and had that wood fired taste. The food was phenomenal. The only reason this place is a 4 is because the price is insane. I'm not used to eating at this location often so I'm not sure if the pricing is typical but it was pretty pricey for $24-$30 for a personal pizza. Great experience though and would recommend :)

    My friend mentioned I should try Razza out since I love pizza. I had this place bookmarked for some time and finally was able to stop by. Made reservations via Resy. There are two entrances, facing the building, the door on the left is the entrance to restaurant and the right is entrance for pickup (I went to the door on the right.. that's how I know). Place is dim but not too dark. Ate at the bar and it was nice. Ended up getting the Pepperoni ($28) and Burrata ($26) pizza. The pizza is Neapolitan-style. Both pies were solid especially the burrata, it was really interesting bc it didn't have a cheese pull but it was burrata cheesy. The dough was good and chewy. I obviously had a Coca Cola ($3) to wash down the pizza. Overall had a good experience and will try to get a table the next time I come back. * Highly recommend making reservations * Good service

    We were visiting friends in Jersey City and they suggested we come here for dinner. Apparently it's very popular. Super cozy, intimate vibe with dim lighting. Seems like you definitely need a reservation. We had a 8:30pm Saturday reservation but weren't seated until 9pm. They specialize in Neapolitan style pizza. We started with the bread and butter and the meatballs with ricotta. The bread and butter was very fresh but not sure if it needs to be a menu item at $10. For pizzas, 4 of us shared the yellow margherita, calabrese, and burrata. They were all outstanding. The yellow margherita was unexpectedly my favorite. We actually didn't order the burrata, but it came on the house which was a nice surprise. They have a great drink selection as well. Two of us shared a bottle of vermentino and the other two had a few cocktails. I would happily dine here again and highly recommend.

    BREAD & BUTTER TASTING
    Riddhi S.

    I've been here 4-5 times already, and the experience has been consistently excellent every single time. We always start with the bread & butter tasting, which comes with three different flavored butters. The bread is served fresh and warm, and it's such a simple yet perfect way to begin the meal. Coming to the pizza -- absolutely amazing. We've tried the Margherita and Funghi, and both are outstanding. The pizzas are thin, light, and full of flavor, with a crust that's just perfect. It truly feels like authentic Italian-style pizza, and it's easy to see why this place is often called one of the best pizza spots around. I hype this place up all the time in front of my family and friends because it genuinely lives up to it. One thing to note: last-minute reservations can be difficult, so planning ahead is definitely recommended. Consistently great food, great quality, cozy vibes and a place I'll keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

    Razza absolutely lives up to the hype. I love all of their pizzas, but the Cavolini is hands-down my favorite -- perfectly balanced and so flavorful (love the anchovy, lemon and brussel sprouts combo). The bread and butter tasting is such a fun and delicious way to start the meal, and the meatballs and kale salad are just as impressive. Cocktails are excellent, ambiance is warm and inviting, service is great and honestly, it's totally worth the wait. I never wait for pizza, but this is the rare exception. Without a doubt, Razza is my favorite pizza spot in Jersey!

    We didn't have a reservation so got here right when they opened and we were seated pretty quickly. For a group of 5, we got the meatball appetizer and three pizzas. I'm not a meatball lover but those are some of the best meatballs I've ever had. The sauce was also flavorful and fabulous. The pizzas were all pretty good, with the crust being the highlight for me. Not sure I'd classify the pizza as life changing, but still was a decent meal.

    BREAD & BUTTER TASTING
    Deepali P.

    Absolutely delicious meal! The bread and butter tasting was so unique to be able to try such different kinds of butter. The meatballs were so well cooked and just melted in your mouth. The crust on the pizzas were also delicious. Definitely would go back

    CAVOLINI
    Hanna F.

    I went here for a light late lunch. We were able to walk in and sit at the bar without a wait. There's not too much seating. So I'd recommend a reservation if you can get one. The pizza was thin crust and yummy.

    PANNA COTTA
    Diane S.

    This was our first time trying New York-style pizza, and it was solid! The crust was thick and crispy, but not overly so. They have a wide variety of pizzas, and the burrata one was absolutely to die for -- fresh, simple, but packed with flavor. The meatball with ricotta is a must-try; I even used the pizza crust to dip into it. The butter and bread are also a solid choice, and the panna cotta for dessert was super good. The space inside is huge, but definitely make a reservation. The ambiance is dim and fancy, which really sets the mood. Overall, a spot I'd happily come back to!

    CORN Pie and DI NATALE
    Danielle P.

    Came here with high hopes as I've seen Razza written up so many times for their pizza. And don't get me wrong, the pizza is good. But if you live anywhere in the five boroughs, there's probably comparable (or even better) pizza in your own backyard. I had planned to come here right when they opened at 3 pm, but traffic thwarted those plans. Still, they were able to accommodate us, we just had to be out in an hour (which was more than doable). I kicked things off with a Hugo Spritz which was sweeter than others I've had. The homemade bread and butter was as good as everyone says it is and honestly my favorite thing that we ordered here. Don't skip it! For pizzas, we went with the seasonal corn pizza and the Di Natale. Both were good - the corn was very fresh and added a nice touch to the white pie, and the Di Natale was definitely inventive in flavors. The crust fell flat for me though. It was dry and didn't have much flavor. TBH, I've had better pizzas with less fanfare down the street at Porta. If you're in the area and can get a seat I would say this place is worth trying, but I don't think I'll trek here from Queens again if I'm not already in the area.

    PROJECT HAZELNUT
    Fiona L.

    I found the food to be ok and the service was fine. My friend really enjoyed the chickpeas and meatballs. The hazelnut pizza was good, different. The margarita pizza was ok, I've been told it's one of the best in JC. I found the sauce to be bland. The crust was good though. For me, i didn't love the food, it wasn't bad and it was busy and other tables seemed to really love the food. It just didn't resonate with me as much.

    CALABRESE
    Darsha M.

    Finally got a reservation at Razza and was very excited! We were seated closer to the bar area and even on a weekday night it was pretty crowded. We started off with the bread and butter app and ordered a bottle of red wine. Our server gave a breakdown of which pies were most popular and his personal favorites. Based on his recommendation, we ordered the calabrese and burrata. The calabrese was so good, it had the perfect spice level. The burrata pie was also delicious. Both pizzas were cooked perfectly, just a little charred but not too overwhelming.

If you knew me, I always considered pizza as a separate food group aka the sixth main food group! Established in 1982, this small family-owned cash-only restaurant has been a beloved neighborhood staple known for its authentic Italian pizza along with other Italian dishes and a cozy and family-friendly atmosphere. With a glut of pizza joints, how would this pizzeria from Larry and Joe compare to others I've tried in the neighborhood!? PURCHASE [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 3.5 of 5.0 STARS] Onion Rings ($5.00): A large container filled with oddly similarly-sized rings, these were hot, medium-browned, semi-crunchy, and didn't have a tendency to crumble when bitten into while the onion ring (not sweet Maui) stayed intact.

The real-life experience was the opposite. I wasn't greeted when I walked in -- just had about 5-6 employees staring at me. All of the pizzas were already sitting out on the counter, and they just warm up whatever you pick in the oven. We ended up getting 5 different flavors to try out. To wrap it up: this was my first-ever "New York slice." It was good, but not great, and definitely didn't live up to the Instagram hype. I would be down to try their Brooklyn location to see if there's any difference -- but the problem is, I'm visiting, and there are dozens of other pizza spots in New York competing for your business.

We tried the 1/2 vodka (add pepperoni) 1/2 spicy buffalo chicken pizza in the personal size, as it seemed to be two of their most popular pizza flavors. This "personal" size pizza was actually quite sizable, 3 slices of each flavor and definitely enough to share alongside our pasta. Both flavors were good, but maybe my expectations were too high. The vodka sauce was flavorful, but I was a little disappointed by the amount of pepperonis they gave us when we added that topping to one side. The buff chicken had a good classic buffalo flavor but wasn't that spicy, and came with your choice of either ranch or blue cheese drizzled on top. Although a little soggy as expected, the pieces of fried chicken tender on the pizza were well coated in Buffalo flavor. However, the Blackened Chicken Pasta honestly blew me away. Tons of large chicken pieces, peppers, and onion all tossed together with penne in a creamy Cajun sauce. The blackened flavor really came through and this pasta was so yummy and satisfying, while not being too heavy or overly creamy. Penne was also a perfect al dente! My only gripe with this establishment was the cleanliness. Our tap waters had a pretty bad taste, I actually ended up ordering a Coke as I did not want to drink the water. It smelled a bit sour in the air as well. However, many of the best family run restaurants out there are often not the cleanest or nicest ambiance, so I wasn't expecting top tier hygiene - but the bad water taste made me slightly uneasy. Our server was very attentive and patient with any questions we had, and made our overall experience wonderful. It seems like this is a really popular to-go spot for locals in the area, the dining room is smaller but decorated with cute NYC subway theming which I loved as an MTA enthusiast. Would return for the Blackened Chicken Pasta!
