4.5 but I'll round up. Cool pizza spot, plenty of seating and also an ample to go option. No fountain drinks but that's ok, plenty of other beverages available. My family and I wanted to try a few items, so we had a large pizza, calamari, fettuccine Alfredo, garlic cheese bread and wings. Evrything was tasty and our server was super friendly and explained different items to us. Another plus it was near Newark. Definitely recommend! read more

It's a hit or miss with them. Sometimes I get good food, and sometimes I get mediocre food. I did notice the woman who works there doesn't season the pizza. I notice that when I order from the guy there, the pizza is more seasoned. read more

As a regular customer, I was very disappointed today (2/6/2026) in the fact that Comet Pizzeria would serve me pizza that seemed left on the corner too long, overcooked, toasted and tasted like burnt cheese on toast, When I returned it, their attitudes were terrible and they treated me with such disregard. In most cases when a customer is dissatisfied , you expect the owner/proprietor to be apologetic but instead they treated me as if it was my fault. As a person who been in business all my life, I would never treat a customer like that! They have certainly lost a customer. Comet Pizzeria, 1288 North Broad Hillside, NJ read more

After years of being run by the same family, Comet has new ownership. The service was good. I asked if the recipe for the pizza changed or the ingredients, they said no, but you could taste and see the difference in the pizza. The new owners redesigned the restaurant and it is a more modern look. read more

If you're looking for some authentic cuisine, this is a must! COMETS PIZZA is the OG of pizza in Hillside! Totally worth any trip to come over and have a nice slice, a pasta dish, or an incredible chicken Parm! You don't want to miss this spot! The staff is incredibly sweet and the location is family friendly and also provides a separate eating space for a night out dining. read more

Ate here this past weekend with my family and we all really enjoyed it! The dining room is beautifully done and the food was exceptional. I had the chicken Marsala which was delicious. The staff was very kind to us and we even met the owner who was just so nice! We will most definitely be back! read more

Quite possibly the best pizza I have ever tasted... well let's be honest it was the best. Not being from this coast I've heard tales of how the pizza on the east coast is better and obviously this place stands up to the hype of the pizza. The bathroom needs to be talked about specifically because it was immaculate and tidy and smelled so nice. I went to wash my hands before I ate and was so impressed on how clean it was. The dining room was cute and super clean too it was next to the place where you order so don't be fooled when you walk in I don't know why they had the other room but maybe it was for to go orders but it doesn't matter I sat down and they brought all the stuff to eat to me. One down side for me though I would have liked a soda machine like the ones that pour into the cup not the bottles, not a major thing but it would have made that feeling of being in a real pizza place like when I was a kid come back. We don't have those places anymore they used to be everywhere. But hey like I said GO EAT HERE! It was delicious and to the owner or people if you read this know I took my leftover pizza home with me on a 7 hour trip back to the west coast. It made it safe and sound and I kept getting asked for a slice from everyone on my trip home. But I held my ground pizza this good I wasn't about to share! read more

Their pizza is good, but I come here for the chicken parmigiana it is soooo good, and the portion is huge. I've been coming here for 10 years and this is the only place I come to for the above meal. It's summertime and too hot to be turning an oven on, so Comet's is my place for baked ziti or chicken parm. read more

As a regular customer of Comets for almost two decades...under the new ownership on one too many occasions Horrible Customer Service!!! The past owners are highly missed. read more

I wanted to like it, but their pizza is really not very good at all. Undercooked, slimy, full of moisture. Cheese that falls off the crust all at once if tilted at even a slight angle. Decently flavorful sauce is about the only positive. Reading all the praise here, either I came on an off night or you people really need to eat better pizza. read more

Food was exceptional, Great Pizza, spaghetti and meatballs, tiramisu. Will definitely return next time I am in town. read more

Comet has been my favorite local Pizzeria for, years. Unfortunately they've been closed due to the Pandemic and have not reopened. Frank and his wife are the. Est and I miss them dearly. read more

Great food great price and free delivery, wha more can you ask. The staff seemed very friendly, I would order here anytime.

Had a long layover in Newark so found this place close to the airport and made a quick stop. Had the Caprese Salad, large Pep / Sausage pizza and bottle of Merlot. The salad was good, very fresh basil. Pizza was really tastey. We live in So Cal so it was nice to finally get some good pizza. Crust is bit thicker in the middle (no flop) but still light enough to put away a few slices and the outer crust has a nice crunch. Good balance of ingredients, nothing overpowering the other. We took our leftovers to the airport which came in very handy because our flight was further delayed. Pizza was just as tastey after sitting for a few hours! Only complaint is that it is HOT in the restaurant. A/C was on but it was still very hot. We asked the lady to turn it down but owner locked the thermostat. We ordered a bottle of Merlot and it was in the fridge, which actually was nice a refreshing. Very friendly service. Would have done 5 stars if it was cooler inside. read more

First time ordering shrimp scampi and pasta. Wouldn't recommend the scampi, too much sauce, the shrimp was over cooked and flavorless. But the rest of our order was fine. read more

Good pizza and the owners are very nice. They do have a small alcohol selection which is a plus. The one thing I don't like is no credit cards. Sometimes I don't have cash on me and I don't feel like going to the liquor store to hit the ATM. Those are the days the miss out on a customer. read more

Not sure if it was an terrible day or they suddenly have new/different chefs. Pizza was cardboard w spaghetti sauce on top w cheese.

Great pizza and great quality food overall. The store is very cozy, and the service is always wonderful. Great prices for everything as well. Definitely worth the stop if you are looking for good food and are in the area. read more

Loved it - Hot and authentic pies - Sooooo Good !!! If the Cops eat here you know it has to be good !!!! The pies are fresh, hot and soo delicious !!! read more

Honestly, it's ok. But I'm a Brooklyn pizza loving girl so this was the best I found so far. It's a nice family owned business. Eventually I'll try more than just the pizza. I just wish they delivered because parking around here is terrible and it's not in walking distance for me. read more

The pizza tastes just great. I liked her right away. Everything was very cool here.

Best pizza I ever had in this area! I ordered their wings, pepperoni and sausage pizza slices, and mozzarella sticks. Absolutely amazing I would definitely recommend Comet Pizzeria if you're in the area. read more

Thirty years ago we lived in Hillside around the corner from Comet. It was awesome then and nothing has changed since then. It is still the same delicious, authentic, NY style pizza we came to love all those years ago. If you are in the area, order a pepperoni to go. read more

This pizzeria use to be the place where I always went to grab a bite after school. Since then it's been my first time coming back. I have to say I am honestly disappointed. Pizza is not the same as it use to. First of all the quality of the ingredients is not to par as before (10 years ago). I also got overcharged for the pizza , ($2 more) , not to mention it's now "cash only". The person charging me was also skeptical that we only got a (bottled) drink, (mind you I always carry a bottle of water in my purse) . Truly disappointed, I do not plan on coming back. Now that I think about it, he probably charge me for the bottled water I had in my purse. You are better off going to papa johns or pizza hut read more

This establishment is more than a pizzeria, IMO, it's a hidden gem for authentic Italian favorites. At anytime you can view the proprietor and his staff slicing and dicing fresh ingredients for their menu items. Comet Pizzeria is somewhat unassuming, on the corner of Hollywood and North Broad St. in Hillside NJ. The Pizza reminds me of authentic NY style, original crust pizza, without the drive or expense of going into the city of a great pie. The sauce has a fresh tomato taste with a good balance of herbs and spices. The crust has a good flavor, not over cooked, not too thick with sauce and cheese almost to the rim, inviting one to eat the entire slice w/no crust leftovers. Whenever I'm in NJ from MD, Comet Pizzeria is a "must stop" for me... read more

Sandwiches are the best and the prices are reasonable. Been eating here since I was a lil kid and the parmesan sandwiches taste the same

My go to for delicious pepperoni pizza in the hood lol ... heads up they only take CASH !! Try it :)

Best pizza in the hillside area ! Only recommendation I can have is for them to start delivering but other than that no complaints with food

Great Local place! Come for the takeout, stay for the restaurant! Delivery would add a sixth star!

Not as consistent as I would like them to be, but a solid local pizza spot that is an asset on lazy nights.

Veal parm and mozzarella sticks!! Definitely my favorites from here. Pizza is good too! I have been getting food from Comet for about 20 years now. Probably the best veal parm I've ever had. Pizzeria side has a few tables if you're getting slices. And the restaurant side is small but I've never had to wait and the service is good! Only con is that parking is tough sometimes. read more

Working in front of the place. Steady stream of customers. Decided to try. Pizza was very good for Jersey. Had them make me baked cavatelli. Was really good. Had a tossed salad also. Good too. Seems like a great place. Try it. read more

The only thing bad (and super annoying) about this place is it is cash only and they are closed on Sunday. Past that the prices are decent and the pizza is ok. read more

I love their pizza, crust so crispy, pizza is thin, cheese and the sauce is on point, the best pizza in hillside hands down, must try
