The Hoboken Girl Team 
If there’s one thing Hoboken residents take very seriously, it’s pizza. From classic New York-style slices and thin-crust pies to specialty creations loaded with toppings, the Mile Square is packed with pizzerias for every kind of craving. Whether looking for a quick late-night slice, a cozy sit-down dinner, or a go-to spot for takeout, there’s no shortage of standout options across town. We’ve singled out the very best pizza spots in town (sorted by your cravings + scenario). Read on for where to get the best pizza in Hoboken.
For Gluten-Free, Coal-Fired Pizza:
Grimaldi’s | 411 Washington Street
Gluten-free peeps rejoice. Next time you’re out with your besties, craving a slice, head over to Grimaldi’s for a total crowd-pleaser. Not only are their regular pizzas rave-worthy, but their gluten-free options are the best around — barely tasting any difference from the real thing. You can even order a personal pie and customize your toppings.
For a First-Date Pizza Spot:
Tenth Street Pasta + Pizza | 1000 Willow Avenue
Tenth Street is heralded as one of the best pizza spots in town, and for good reason. It’s a little bit thinner than your traditional slice, and all pies come well done, so expect a little bit of well-welcomed crunch. We recommend trying the Square Buffalo or Square Margarita.
Hot House Pizza | 606 Second Street
Hot House Pizza is a neighborhood favorite known for its thin-crust pies, cozy atmosphere, and indoor and outdoor seating. This BYOB spot is ideal for a casual dinner with friends, family, or date night, with a relaxed setting that keeps locals coming back for more.

For a Family-Friendly Locale to Eat-in or Take-Out:
Alessio’s | 539 Park Avenue
Alessio’s is known for its wood-fired pizzas and classic neighborhood pizzeria feel. The aroma from the oven alone is enough to draw people in, while the crispy crusts and wide selection of pies keep locals coming back for another slice.

While it’s a little off the beaten path, Hot House Pizza is a longtime favorite among Hoboken locals. Known for its wide variety of specialty slices and classic pies, this neighborhood spot is a go-to for casual takeout nights, quick slices, and laid-back dinners.

Old Lorenzo’s | 301 Jackson Street
Old Lorenzo’s Pizza has been a staple in Hoboken for years. Located on 3rd and Jackson, this is a neighborhood classic for locals and while the spot specializes in large orders, stopping by for a slice is a great move.
Pizzeria Hoboken | 732 Jackson Street
Pizzeria Hoboken can be found on the corner of 7th and Jackson under the green awning. This location is known for its hot slices of both traditional and Grandma pies.
Pizza Republic | 406 Washington Street
Pizza Republic serves up a wide variety of specialty slices, making it a great option for anyone craving everything from classic cheese pizza to topping-heavy combinations. With plenty of flavors to choose from, it’s an easy go-to for a quick slice or casual pizza night in Hoboken.
Rosario’s at Willow | 1132 Willow Avenue
Rosario’s is a family-owned pizza shop in Hoboken. Since its 1996 opening, it has become known for its traditional approach to Italian-American cuisine and laid-back vibes.
Wings To Go + Grande Pizza | 400 Newark Street
If you’re looking for a classic Italian spot, look no further. Great for take-out or dining in with the family, Wings To Go + Grande Pizza is known for just that: its wings and pies. Its best seller is the classic cheese pie, but the HG team recommends the Grande Special Pizza, which is topped with a variety of meats, including pepperoni and sausage.
For the Biggest Pizza Slice in New Jersey:
Benny Tudinos | 622 Washington Street
Trust us, you’re gonna need two plates here. “Home of the Largest Slice,” this iconic Hoboken pizza shop has been serving up super-sized pizzas for nearly 50 years, and it never disappoints. Oh, and since your slice is going to be about the size of a small baby (and we have comparison photos to prove it) we suggest cutting your usual order in half.

For a Pizza Pie with a View:
Blue Eyes Cafè | 525 Sinatra Drive
Incredible pizza, incredible view. What more could you ask for? This Sinatra-themed Italian restaurant on the waterfront offers an extensive pasta menu as well as some to-die-for pie options. Dining with a friend or two? Try the tri-pizza (above). Split three ways, you can satisfy everyone’s craving, or get a taste of each topping.
For When You Want to Try Something Different:
Artichoke Basille’s Pizza | 96 Hudson Street
Artichoke Basille’s Pizza first made a name for itself in New York City before coming to The Mile Square in 2017. This pizza joint serves up larger-than-average pizza slices in eight varieties — with its signature artichoke slice being the most popular.
Otok Bakery | 506 Grand Street
Hear us out: this isn’t a pizza in the traditional sense, but a wood-fired French bread pizza is too good to exclude from this list. Otok opened in the former Dom’s Bakery location, perhaps best known as being Frank Sinatra’s favorite bread. So naturally, the 120-year-old coal-fed oven is sprinkled with a little bit of culinary magic.
For When You Wish You Were in Rome:
Ovale | 305 Willow Avenue
At Ovale, crust is king. The Roman-style pizza spot specializes in pies that are crispy on the outside, but ever-so-fluffy on the inside. There are 20 pizza options to choose from, including vegan. Basic, we know, but the Pepperoni pie is tough to beat (as evidenced above). This spot is takeout only, perfect for a night of cozying up on the couch, paired with your favorite glass of wine.
For When You’re Craving a Late-Night Snack:
Imposto’s | 102 Washington Street
Customers who visit Imposto’s Pizza in Hoboken can expect nothing less than high-quality ingredients from each pizza or pasta dish they order. The new owners revamped the menu so be sure to stop by for a slice on the way home from a night out on the town.
Basile’s Pizza | 89 Washington Street
Another downtown staple, Basile’s serves up sizable slices until midnight every day of the week. It’s popular among locals to build your pizza here with up to five toppings (including sausage, chicken, broccoli, mushrooms, and extra cheese).
Quality Pizza Co. | 304 Washington Street
What’s in a name? At Quality Pizza Co., it’s a promise to serve some seriously delicious pizza of the highest quality. This spot is truly for the late-night riders: open until 4AM on Fridays and Saturdays. On the menu, you can expect to find a selection of unique pies from sausage + jalapeño to vodka and mushrooms. We’d be remiss not to mention the famous NYC Spicy Roni Cups, featuring Fra Diavolo sauce, spicy pepperoni, fresh mozzarella, fresh garlic, and Pecorino Romano cheese.
For When You Want a Little Crunch
The Pizza Shop | 500 Jefferson Street
With just an ordering counter and some outside tables, The Pizza Shop by Flour is an unassuming spot that packs a mighty punch of delicious thin-crust pizza. Each slice is a perfect blend of that signature crunchy crust and gooey, cheesy goodness on top. In addition to a traditional pizza pie, you can also find some pretty unique options like the No Cap White Pie (ricotta cream, mushrooms, pesto) or the Post Melòn (prosciutto, melon, arugula pesto, Kosterina balsamic). Check out the full menu here.
For When You’re Craving a Vegan Pie
The Brick | 1122 Washington Street
The Brick pizzeria dedicated a whole section of the menu to vegan cuisine, and of course, that includes a vegan pie. While you can never go wrong with The Brick’s (vegan) Margherita and classic cheese pizza, a must-try pie on the menu is the BBQ pulled pork (not actual pork), made with pulled young jackfruit and red onions, sautéed in BBQ sauce, and all topped with cilantro and lime juice. Each of the restaurant’s six pies can be made gluten-free upon request, too.
