    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Amazing pizza! Surprised to see there wasn't a red sauce but I wouldn't have wanted one. This was amazing.

Staff is very professional and friendly, always making sure everyone is having a good time. Honestly, all the food is great here but some of my favorites are definitely the carpaccio and calamari appetizer (the calamari is the BEST I ever had, hands down) and their coffee panacota for dessert is also out of this world, just amazing! If you are a bread lover just know they make their own bread in house. 5 stars always!

    I went here for lunch today with my husband and brother-in-law. The ambiance outside was very nice…read more It reminded me of the islands. The food, however, is another story. For appetizers, we got zucchini chips, fried calamari and mussels. The calamari was fried too hard and it had a very salty, spicy Chilean type sauce over it. The zucchini chips were thinly sliced, lightly battered with Parmesan cheese sprinkled over them. They were decent but nothing to write home about. In fact, after having about six or seven of the zucchini chips I began to experience heartburn from the grease. For entrees, my husband had the chicken parm. He said it was too thick and should have been flattened more before frying. It was also very breaded. My brother-in-law ordered the chicken and waffles and he said the chicken tasted day old so after having a bite of one piece of the chicken he pushed the chicken aside and called it a day. I called the waiter over and informed him about the chicken tasting day old. He didn't try to change it out or take it off the bill or get a manager. He just apologized by saying I'm sorry. My crab Mac and Cheese was decent. It wasn't seasoned the way I would have liked but the huge, plentiful chunks of crab made up for that. I ate a third of my dish and packed the rest for home where I will doctor it up to my taste. I've never been to this particular restaurant before. The only reason we came today is because my brother-in-law was here on business and staying at a hotel in the area.

This place checks every box. My guys and I kicked things off at the bar with a couple of vodka on the rocks, setting the tone before sitting down for what turned out to be some of the best food I have had in Jersey City. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the history. Tucked away on a quiet side street with barely any foot traffic, yet still thriving. That tells you everything you need to know. They are doing it right. I will not run down every dish because honestly it does not matter. Everything that hit the table was on point. Do yourself a favor and trust the wait staff. Let them guide you. They know exactly what they are doing and will not steer you wrong. This is the kind of place you keep in your rotation.

I loved the fact that it's a small house like,cozy restaurant with a valet parking lot, which makes it even more convenient . I did, however, find parking on the side street and was even a pleasant little walking distance away. Since we were just a party of two, we did not need to reserve a table , but, if you do have a large party of people, you should definitely call and reserve! The restaurant isn't that big at all, so, there might be a little wait time, if you're there at a busy time. We were there on a Saturday night( two people) and waited for about ,not even 10 minutes. However, it's definitely worth the wait! It's a family friendly atmosphere and the service was very good! Very friendly staff and pretty fast service. I loved how it's all bricked wall and just so cozy! I have heard that their Chicken Parm was absolutely amazing and delicious. And so, we ordered the Chicken Parm and comes with side dish of pasta.( I had the linguine). I didn't expect the Chicken Parm to be a pretty big portion, so that made it even better! (Especially, when you're hungry and have been waiting to try this Chicken Parm I've been hearing about. lol!). Since the portion of the Chicken is pretty big, the side dish of the spaghetti, is just PERFECT! It's sauce and cheese is just mouth watering and a must have!! Now,Let's talk about their House Salad! DELICIOUS!! Their house dressing was so tasty and fresh and definitely makes their salads stand out! That homemade tasting bread was also very good and crunchy! I definitely Recommend, trying their House Salad and Chicken Parm! The house salad portion ,was just perfect for two people. As we loved everything about Laicos, and were completely Stuffed, lol! We couldn't leave ,without having and trying their Dessert , which is the Italian chocolate round like ball,stuffed with ice cream! That just made everything ,even better, before leaving for the night! I highly Recommend and must try!!

Definitely prefer the chicken over the veal, and my son ate his whole,e bowl ao Id say the bolognese is really good too.

The smoked paprika pork shoulder was a dish that could feed 4. It's a massive cut of meat. While I did enjoy this, I needed more of polenta or a sauce.

Our waiter was kind and charming. He gave us his recommendations. Despite the menu being small and rotational, it always feels like there is something new and exciting to try. The Rutabaga and leek was that for me this time. I assume this is a winter dish. I recommend trying this before they move to a Soring menu and I wouldn't miss it!
