    Hidden gem. Behind the pizzeria is a full restaurant. Great food and wonderful decor. Surprising prices lower than expected. We had a pizza and the chicken Parmesan. Both were amazing. This is really worth checking out.

    VB3 SPECIAL PIZZA
    Angela D.

    The pizza was okay. The crust is very crunchy and light but the green peppers were raw and the onion was soggy. The cut of the onion was the size of a lemon wedge. The cheese was cooked to perfection but something felt like it was missing in the pizza , a little bit on the bland side.

    Bee Sting

    The Bee Sting totally hit the spot, perfect balance of pepperoni, hot honey, ricotta. I was helped as soon as I walked in, just how you want a pizza place to run. I'm not usually a pizza girl but maybe I will become one, being so close to this place

    I've ordered delivery from here a few times simply due to the affordability and delivery time in comparison to other restaurants that serve pasta. The food is decent, it's fresh and has good flavors. It's nothing special though. I have enjoyed every meal I've had from there. For a $13 pasta dish you get a good amount, I typically save the rest for the next day. I recommend if you're craving pasta but don't want to spend a lot of thought or money on a dish.

    First impression : GREAT!!! Megan the bartender was so welcoming and funny , and that is what you need when you go places . The food : food was very good , we had the mozzarella Buffalo salad and that was just amazing . The salmon was accompanied with vegetables and truffled fries . And the smoked house burger was perfectly cooked . The decor is nice , however the seats by the wall could use a little care . Overall was a good experience , the only thing I didn't like much was the smell from the pizzeria next door . That was a bit to strong , they need a better exhaust/fan system . We would definitely go back on the days Megan is there . And hopefully they will address the smell problem .

    Penne alla vodka. Its okay. 14 dollars

    We wanted to go to the restaurant but I called and they don't have outdoor seating. And the host who answered the phone gave me an attitude about it. Because of the pandemic we don't feel comfortable eating inside. We ended up ordered delivery. The woman who took my delivery order also had an attitude. Delivery came quickly in 40 min. We ordered a personal joes special and penne alla vodka. The pizza was small, def personal. Expensive at 15 dollars. Othe pizza places we tried have bigger personal pizzas from 10-13 dollars. Also the description of this pizza is different depending if you look at the pizza menu or the restaurant menu. On the restaurant menu it also adds fresh basil and olive oil. Also no mention of it being a white pie. The pizza menu had the accurate description I found out. And I didn't see that menu when I ordered. So I was disappointed. I ended up adding fresh herbs myself to it! The penne alla vodka is 14 dollars. 2 people can share but it wasn't as big as I thought for the price. It's literally just pasta and sauce. Nothing special. There are much better italian places around. I suggest trying rustique pizza or krispy pizza instead.

    Happy hour sept 2021

    I recently came here for happy hour, and i have to say i loved it. Parking sucks, i tried to find the correct garage to park in for free, but failed. However, the bar itself was clean and our server was very friendly and quick to serve us drinks. the drink and food specials are totally worth coming here. $3 shots? $3 beers? sign me up! theres also mixed drinks for $5. where this place fails, is the lack of good beer. there aint nothing special about their beer selections. its bare bones. onto the food....so the happy hour menu for food is a killer too. everything was very affordable. we grabbed the rice balls. which to be honest, i was pleasantly surprised by. they were pretty good! no meat inside of them either, i love that! very cheesy! the fried buffalo cauliflower wasnt that great. it was mostly batter, didnt feel like cauliflower, but as a bar snack? they worked. theyre cheap and tasty, but i wouldnt consider them buffalo cauliflower.the pretzel bites really grew on me. they remind me of going to the movies when i was a kid. again, these arent exactly michelin star pretzel bites, but for the price, i think theyre great for a bar snack. i will gladly come back because the service was good, and the happy hour was awesome!

    Worst pizza place ever, I'd give minus stars if I could. We live in the apartment above this place and walked by it every day, finally decided to try when we got a coupon ($5 off for $35). I was going to order online first but the coupon didn't have any code so I had no choice but to call to place the order. We were put on hold for three minutes then ordered two personal sized pizzas and buffalo chicken tender, and informed her about the coupon (she said she will take off when we pick up the order). My husband went to pick up without any clue, he said the receipt was already printed and paid with cash. But when I looked carefully in the receipt - they still didn't take off credit card fee, nor $5 coupon, and charged 20% tip for pick up order. The only nice thing was that the portions were big, but that doesn't matter because food was so bad we didn't even finish half. Pizzas are flavorless (two pizzas tasted almost identical), chicken tenders were like sponge and fries were soggy (it could fold in half no problem lol) For this price there are so so many options in the neighborhood that this place cannot even compare to. I wish I donated this $45 for something meaningful. I would never ever go back, but if you do, I recommend to double check the bill.

    This is actually a hidden gem. I did not expect to like the food that much. We definitely order more than we can eat but I was glad that we did since I wanted to try the whole menu! We ordered the Prosciutto Di Parma Pizza, Mozzarella Sticks, Chicken Wings (BBQ), and French Fries. The pizza and fries was definitely my favorite.

    I've been visiting VB3 a lot lately and that is because of their Wild Mushroom Pizza! This review is based off of visiting for Hudson Restaurant Week on 7/29/19. Ambiance: This place has a sportsbar-ish, lounge feel, which it is so they hit the nail on the head. There is a full bar in the middle with a couple of tables surrounding the restaurant. There's TV's in most areas too. Food: Calamari, great. But the wild mushroom pizza, AMAZING. I get the personal pan pizza every single time I visit. It's something that I cannot sit here and describe all day you have to go try it yourself I promise it will not disappoint. If you like truffle cheese, crispy crust and sauteed mushrooms this pizza is for you. The Hudson Restaurant Week special was one appetizer, one entree and one salad for $29. Price: Typical JC prices. Nothing too crazy, reasonable. Parking: They have a free parking lot right on the same street which is a blessing since parking in Jersey City is absolutely crazy at times! Service: Waiters are always very attentive. Can't wait to come back!

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. They were slightly oily, no dipping sauce given, and surprisingly good. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=48&select=Fo3zPbAgICQdKvznZJsvGA Mozzarella Sticks 6pc ($7.00): Simple finger-sized medium-browned cheese sticks with homemade marinara dipping sauce, we enjoyed them but nothing special to report. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=XdrF2nAAywvu13PpkK4mIQ Eggplant Parmigiana Sandwich ($10.00): If you knew me, this was my go-to Italian sandwich, and it didn't disappoint. Filled with plenty of thin but meaty slices of breaded eggplant, marinara sauce, and gooey mozzarella cheese crammed between a lightly-toasted bun, this was a hearty meal that stuck to your ribs - oof! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=8R68F6zBwAxy4vcpvi8wzw Chicken Parmigiana Sandwich ($10.00): My friend opted for this lightly-toasted bun stuffed with many thin but meaty slices of breaded chicken, marinara sauce, and gooey mozzarella cheese, it was good but not better than the eggplant! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=p7slICln5ZVWgsqatlY8WQ 18" 8pc Broccoli Pizza + Mushrooms ($19.00 + $3.00): Still in the throes of no-meat during Lent, we chose this interesting option with an additional topping for more flavor. This was a massive pizza with a ton of fresh toppings, mozzarella cheese, and tomato sauce with an incredibly crispy yet soft crust. This was simply an impressive pie, indeed! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=-5ich-E3lcSWgrzXYPVisA SERVICE I called ahead and placed my order with a friendly gentleman whose name I couldn't recall. I was told it would be ready within 45 minutes which was fine. I arrived a bit early to a very busy pizzeria, to which I waited an extra 15 minutes before my order was done and packed up. No worries, as I watched TV and simply observed the "mayhem" in this place. I wasn't in a hurry, so all was good - grazie! PARKING (Street; N/A this instance) This was an easy flat 20-minute walk from my friend's place. Otherwise, there appeared to be plenty of spots (no known private lot) along the main drag of Newark Ave. and all surrounding roads - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A simple interior layout https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=48&select=YA57QUy6J9z38Y_Kkkay_A with a tidy dining area of booths and a couple of small tables, a bar table along one wall, and the order counter that looked into the kitchen at the back. Several framed pictures of family members adorned a brick wall while the menu https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=4AsL8gHDPNd5MobPtL3MyA was posted on another wall. Plenty of natural lighting came through the front window and door while soul-sucking fluorescent electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There was one TV (volume on) while there wasn't any background music. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=48&select=4WAmbzYptvChB1edodHcSQ ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Larry & Joe's Pizzeria was an incredible example of a close-knit family eatery that was lovingly supported by the neighborhood and vice versa, which gave me the warm-and-fuzzies. From tasty food, large portions, reasonable prices, good menu selection, and wonderful service, this place hit all of the feels. And, I always loved supporting small businesses whenever possible. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $54.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). Sadly, they were CASH ONLY (my only knock), so no AMEX! 4.0 STARS

I asked the owner a simple question about the frosting on a cake because I wanted to understand the ingredients for allergy reasons. The cakes are personally made by the owner, so there is no packaged bakery label that I could simply look at. I was asking a reasonable question about food I was considering giving my child. Instead of simply answering my question, the owner became extremely rude and belittling toward me and went off on me in front of my young son and other people in the restaurant. During the interaction, the owner told me herself how stressful and difficult it was to be behind the counter and run the establishment as she was short handed because her staff keeps quitting. I genuinely tried to be supportive. I told her that I wanted women to win, regardless of their shade, and I offered to help her stock her shelves for free because I wasn't busy. She declined and said she did not need my help. Before that, however, she had asked me what I did for a living and what companies I worked for. She then told me that what I do for a living was nothing compared to what she does. That interaction was deeply disrespectful. She had no idea who I was, what my professional background was, or what I could contribute, yet she made assumptions about me and diminished my work after questioning me about it. As a Brown woman, I experienced the way I was treated as racially motivated. I cannot speak to what was in her mind, but I can speak to what happened to me and how I experienced it. What happened afterward made the experience even more concerning. The owner sent me a private message attacking my character, calling me "strange," dismissing my professional experience, and telling me that I needed therapy for my "stress and anger issues." She also criticized the way I supposedly speak to my child and used that to make judgments about my character. That accusation is particularly disturbing because she did not witness me speaking to my child in the inappropriate manner she described. That did not happen. She made an assumption about my parenting and presented it as though she had witnessed something inappropriate when she did not. There is also a contradiction in her comments about stress. During our interaction, she was the one who told me that running the business and being behind the counter was stressful and difficult. Rather than responding to my feedback about how I experienced her behavior, she later used "stress and anger issues" to attack me personally. I am sharing this review because I believe people deserve to know the full context of my experience. Customers should be able to ask reasonable questions about ingredients, especially when allergies are involved, without being belittled, questioned about their profession, having their work diminished, or being personally attacked. I came into this establishment willing to support another woman-owned business. I left feeling deeply disrespected and, as a Brown woman, concerned about how I was treated. I will not be returning.

I raised concerns but the waiter just looked at me like I was crazy. They left it on the bill even though I insisted that what I got was not Sprite. It's super dark in this place - that's part of their vibe. They have some black light and neon lights but overall very dark.
