If there’s one thing Hoboken residents take very seriously, it’s the pizza, and as a result, there’s no shortage of spots to grab a slice in the Mile Square. We’ve singled out the very best pizza spots in town {sorted by your cravings/scenario}, below:
For Gluten-Free, Coal-Fired Pizza:
Grimaldi’s: | 411 Washington Street
Gluten-free girls and guys 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 different from the real thing. You can even order a personal pie and customize your toppings.
For a First-Date Pizza Spot:
Johnny Pepperoni | 219 11th Street
Red and white checkered placemats, great food, and a BYOB policy create a casual-yet-cute, no-pressure atmosphere for a first date. If you’re not a pizza purist, we recommend trying the chicken parm pie or, well, anything with pepperoni.
For a Romantic Pizza Dinner Vibe:
San Giuseppe’s | 1320 Adams Street
Head uptown to San Giuseppe for gourmet coal-fired pizzas {plus delicious entrees and pasta dishes} in an elegant environment. For the sweetest end to your evening, share one of three Dolce Pizzes: The Baci {Nutella and fragole sprinkled with confectionary sugar}, the La Dolce Vita {caramelized apples, crumbs, candied walnuts, drizzled with vanilla icing} or the Romeo and Juliet {sweet amaretto ricotta, Fabbri amarena cherries, toasted chopped pistachio nuts, and dark chocolate shavings}.
For a Family-Friendly Locale to Eat-in or Take-Out:
Napoli’s | 1118 Washington Street + 133 Clinton Street
Known for their amazing pies and awesome dine-in atmosphere, it should be no surprise that the delivery is a stand-out too. Free delivery within Hoboken, available on Seamless, arrives on time and solid, dependable pizzas.
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, we suggest cutting your usual order in half {so one slice, maybe two will do you major justice}.

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:

For When You’re Craving a Pie All To Yourself:
Torna’s | 254 9th Street
Torna’s has been serving pizza to both new and loyal customers for over 60 years. It’s best known for its Sicilian Pie {also available by slice}, meatball parm sub, personal pies. The menu spans across all the classic appetizers, calzones, and pasta dinners of the same quality.
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.
For When You’re Craving Something Filling:
Frankie + Eva’s | 208 Washington Street
Frankie and Eva’s serves up fresh mutz with its traditional Italian cuisine. The broccoli rabe pie is a must-try but while you’re there, try the Maximus wrap toasted with prosciutto, mutz, salami, and vinaigrette.
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.
