Another one of those annual holiday get togethers with friends. This year we visited Smash'N Pizza (former location of Nonna Marie's). Smash'N Pizza a great little upbeat neighborhood pizzeria on Union Blvd. In Totowa feels fun from the second you walk in. It's the kind of spot that's just as good for a casual slice as it is for a laid‑back burger with friends. The room is limited in size but buzzing, with bright red and black splashed across the walls, a few chairs and tables, and décor carefully planned so the whole space feels energetic and modern. Logos and graphics are scattered throughout, giving the restaurant a playful, branded vibe that makes it look and feel like a cool little Italian hangout rather than a typical slice joint. Pizza, which we shared as an appetizer is the star, with pies that come out hot, crisp, and flavorful, piled with fresh toppings if that's your choice, and a sauce that tastes like it was made that morning. As for me, I always prefer a plain cheese pie. Right alongside the pizza, the burgers were surprisingly fantastic too, juicy and well‑seasoned, and the menu branches out into plenty of other tempting choices to accomodate everyone's taste. I tried the double cheeseburger, along with fries and onion rings, and would certainly recommend giving it a try. Service and hospitality were on point, quick and friendly. And being greeted like a regular, even on my first visit, and checking in often without hovering was appreciated. The overall atmosphere made the place feel welcoming and relaxed, turning a quick lunch into the kind of experience people look forward to repeating. BTW: Smash'N Pizza is a BYOB and has off street free parking. Thank you to Roberto (Robert) and staff for a nice afternoon. We will certainly be back. 12/13/2025 read more

Smash’n Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Totowa, New Jersey

Pizza was okay; the wings felt like they came from the freezer and tossed in a Sysco bag of BBQ sauce.

My first visit of the had a single burger, cheese fries and an order of wings with BBQ sauce. To my surprise more food than I could eat. Everything tasted great. My second visit i got their cheese steak. It tasted like i made it at home on my grill. It had a little heat to it and slices of pepper and onions with a ton of meat all under melted cheese. I also got tenders and two slices of grand ma pizza. The cheese steak was so big I couldn't eat the others. I'll let you know on the next review. The food and the service make this a 5 out of 5 and I can't wait to go thru the menu read more

Smash'n Pizza just opened up and I had to stop by for the grand opening event! The staff is super welcoming and friendly, has the vibe of an old school pizza place with a modern edge. I got the smash'n house burger, onion rings, wings, chicken tenders and fries. (Don't judge me, I was hungry!) Smash burger was great, their smack sauce is out of this world on it, I would ask for extra on the side next time. Wings were delicious, great bite, crunchy and just pulled apart. Tenders were definitely to my liking, paired great with the smack sauce as well! And what's there to say about onion rings and fries? I never had one I didn't like. Definitely will need to come back and try the pizza, very happy this joint opened up in North Jersey! read more

Just okay! Burgers were tasty but on the greasy side. Pizza is just okay, especially for this part of jersey. Pricing is decent and service was good. This is a greasy, cheat day meal for sure if that is what you are looking for. read more

I don't think there is an item on their menu you won't love!!! The smash n house burgers, salad, crazy nonna pies, their wings and fries, mac and cheese... everything is beyond delicious!! And you can't beat their service... whether you eat in or have it catered, Robert makes sure everything is made just the way you like it! If you have not visited this town gem... put it on your must go list. You won't be disappointed! read more

Smash’n Pizza - Smash'N Onion Single - Pizza Near Me - Totowa, New Jersey

I have to start off with the food was fantastic, like a true smash burger. I got the double onion smash, and my husband got the double regular smash. Cooked perfectly, perfect crust, melty cheese, smashed onions, 10/10. These are true smash burgers. I got the bacon jam cheese fries. Bonus points for being shoe string fries. The basket was GIANT. I'm thinking for $9 it's gonna be light on the bacon and cheese. NO. These fries were SAUCED! My husband got the specialty fries of the week the Chimichurri fries. He loves Chimichurri and he housed the burger, the fries and then got a slice to go. We travelled about an hour and a half to get here because I saw their Instagram videos and the food just looked too good to not try and they seemed like they have fun there. We spoke with the owner Rob who came out to check on everyone eating in. Which who does that anymore? That blew my mind! You can tell this guy takes pride in what he's doing. Apparently they've only been opened a little over a month yet there was a guy in there with his kids and the owners asking him about their kid's sports and all that. It was packed when we walked in at 1pm on a Sunday. This place is going to be a neighborhood spot I can tell just by the vibe and how the owner was genuinely customer focused. He was so kind to hook us up with some treats for the road which was a total shock. (Thank you!!!) Even if the food was terrible (which it was NOT, I'm giving this spot 5 stars) the staff, and owner would redeem that. We will ABSOLUTELY be back without a doubt. read more

Smash’n Pizza - Smash'N Jam Double Cheese fries - Pizza Near Me - Totowa, New Jersey

There are 2 owners a tall guy and a short guy. They're both really cool and extremely jolly. So right when you walk in you're welcomed. I've had a few things now besides what I posted. I'll say all their slices are great. The motz sticks, fries, & onion rings are a good addition to your meal. Grilled chicken sandwich is good too don't be afraid to try it just bc you're at a burger/pizza joint. I'd say it's my fav slice in the town. I look forward to smashin some pizza and burgers now that they're in town. read more

Awesome burgers and wings (had the Buffalo style), they were falling off the bone. Def will try the garlic Parmesan next! Those burger buns also were magical. The gentleman behind the counter (owner perhaps?), what a pleasant dude, smiling the entire time, hospitable, kind, welcoming and warm. Def will be back. read more

Legit one of the best burgers I've ever had. Same goes for the onion rings. Can't recommend enough.

Pizza and burgers are absolutely outstanding! Perfect crust and delicious combinations of toppings. The Smashin Jam Burger was also amazing! The staff is also super welcoming and friendly. We will definitely return many more times!! read more

The wings are so good. Try the garlic parm wings! And the burgers are great too. And the onion rings! The guys at the counter are super friendly. They even gave me a free espresso while I was waiting for my order. It's small but there's a few tables if you want to eat inside. read more

Never disappoints. Always hits the spot, and the guys working there are top notch. If they have cookies...grab a couple!

Everything that we have had there has been delicious! It helps that the staff is super nice As well! read more

Everything was great didn't try the pizza but I'm sure it's good but the service was great the food was A1 and the owner Joe was super cool

Went here after seeing videos online and very impressed. The service was amazing and the food was incredible. Their onion smash burger was really nicely cooked and seasoned. Their onion rings were homemade and so crispy. The milkshake and the banana pudding was some of the best I've ever had. Not too sweet yet so delicious. Then I had their mozzarella burger which was hot at first but tasty after it cooled down. The restaurant was nicely decorated and well stocked with all utensils, condiments, etc. I highly recommend! read more

Once again a beautiful pizza experience from Thursday night, great bite to eat, great customer service, love these guys

Alright, why did it take me this long to try this place. The pizza is spot on but the star of the show was their burgers - holy hell, phenomenal. This doesn't diminish the pizza by any means - the pizza is fantastic, but being a pizza and burger joint (amongst other things), you'd think one would be far superior than the other. Nope, not here. Everything we had was spot on delicious. Will be trying other items as well because I can only surmise that it's just as good. Keep up the great work! read more

What a wonderful restaurant! the food was absolutely delicious and there was a small miscommunication on my part with my order (entirely my fault, I misspoke) so they offered to remake my order no charge and gave me a coupon for a free lunch. The people were wonderfully kind and the owner Robert was wonderful. The food was 10/10, I would 100% recommend coming to this wonderful establishment. I have never left a review on an establishment but I felt the need to share how amazing this place is! read more

I think the place is going to do very well. I have been there a few times now since they opened and I have been really pleased with everything I have tried so far. The staff and owners are really nice people. There's parking there which is a nice plus in this congested town. On to the food, my family and I love it!! Who's smashin Nonna is excellent. Nice crust tons of flavor and not too heavy. We also tried the nonna with the honey spicy pepperoni which was amazing. I love that they use the small pepperonis. I have tried their regular smash the bacon jam smash and the newly added Italian smash. They were all delicious. My favorite was the bacon jam smash. The Italian smash was a fun experience, don't order on a first date it's def a messy burger lol but it's an experience worth having. We also did the garlic knots today and like everything else we loved it. I highly recommend giving this place a shot. There are a few really good pizza spots in this town. I feel like each of them have something that makes them stand out enough from the other. Smash n pizza is another really awesome pizza and burger spot that stands out as its own experience. Do yourself a favor and give them a shot on your next take out night. read more

Smash’n Pizza - Italian smash!!! - Pizza Near Me - Totowa, New Jersey

Very interesting concept which is what first drew me to this place. I was greeted by the brother/sister owner / operator duo. After some conversation about how there business is going and how they have been in the restaurant business for a long time with heavy ties to the Jersey shore pizza industry, it was time to give there smash burgers and wings a shot. I took the food to go and the owner threw in a homemade pastry. After just one bite I knew that this place was not only ran by great people but was serving a great product. From the bun to the pickles to the even spiciness of the wings, All the little aspects of the meal were great. the quality of the wings and the tenderness of the burger aloud all the big aspects of the meal to just make a perfect product. Most places you get one or the other, either the big or little things are done well. When a restaurant can get both right and have great customer service it's just makes for an amazing experience. If you're reading this, finish up and make your way over there and enjoy the interesting and delicious combo of pizza and smash burgers. read more
