I have been to Dozzino's multiple times and always had a great experience. They are also one of my favorite pizza spots to order delivery from in Hoboken. The Honey is unlike any other pizza I have ever had before, it's incredible. There's something about the sweetness from the honey mascarpone paired with the salty from the prosciutto - if you haven't tried it before, it's a must! We also love the Diavola - it has a little kick to it with the red pepper. Another plus is that it's BYOB - this is always a plus when you want a great dinner but not trying to drop $15 on a drink or $40+ on a bottle of wine. read more

This place truly stands out to me, because there is a lack of good pizza in Hoboken. At Dozzino they have traditional "Italian style" pizza. Came here on a Friday night, it was pretty crowded. They have a front room and back room, it felt a little drafty in the back room, but the BYOB allows you to warm up with a nice glass of wine! The special for the night was a rice ball and I must admit, it was not very good. It had zero taste, but the presentation was nice a nice touch. The lack of taste with our appetizer was quickly made up when our pizzas came out. Super fresh, piping hot, and flavorful. I ordered the plain pizza, but my boyfriend had one with egg and spinach on it. See the menu for yourself, there are plenty of unique options to choose from. I will definitely be returning in the future! read more

Let's just say I love the place. You feel like you are just relaxing at a cafe in Italy. I used to live in hoboken not too far from here and miss it very much! When I visit friends in hoboken now I always suggest this place. We each bring a bottle of wine (as its BYOB) and casually order pizza and salads and just relax and catch up. The pizzas are always good and the vibe is great too. Its fun to sit at the communal table in the back and make new friends too...and see what they order. My all time fave is the Diablo, and the off the menu order, Uncle Leo. Whenever they have their Brussel sprout pizza that's on the list too. The salads are also always fresh and delicious as well. Go early to ensure you get a table! In the warmer months the outside is also great. read more

Visited Dozzino with another couple and was completely unimpressed. The wait staff was very aloof in their attention to our table and the pizza was average at best. Very limited selection and the manager seemed more interested in running is out that door than worrying if we were satisfied. We will never return. read more

I think it's one of the best places for pizza in Hoboken. It's not exactly neopolitan where the center of the pizza is soggy but charred burnt edges on the crust definitely gives awesome flavor to the pizza. The only reason I don't go as often as I could is their price. If it's maybe 2 dollars cheaper per pizza, it will be more affordable. Overall, I highly recommend! read more

One of the most rude restaurant owners I've ever encountered. My girlfriend and I have been to Dozzino a few times and have enjoyed the food but last time we went, discovered that the owner is simply not a nice person. It was the first nice weekend of the spring and we were requested to sit outside with a couple friend of ours, which seemed like a reasonable request given that there were at leas 4 tables open outside. The owner said that he would absolutely not push two tables together and provided no rationale as two why that would be impossible. When I asked how soon he could seat 2, he said immediately. I then asked if he could seat us each as two, but next to each other at which point he snapped and told us that we could go to a different restaurant if we didn't like the way things were run there. Which we did. So, if you're looking for a BYOB pizza place with outdoor seating in Hoboken, I would strongly recommend Johnny Pepperoni's. The pizza is simply better (I thought the JP's pizza was better before I had this encounter), there's more seating, and as far as I can tell, the owner isn't rude to his (now former) customers. I suppose everyone's entitled to a bad day but there are a lot of pizza places in Hoboken where we don't need to worry about harassment, so we're going to patronize those places here on out. Also, not for nothing, but the outdoor seating at Dozzino's is actually pretty bad because it's adjacent to their dumpsters and is usually swarming with mosquitoes. read more

cute little byob pizza place. the honey was to die for!!! the outside area in the back was really nice vibes

Maturity of staff zero. Food amazing. Best pizza I've had outside of Manhattan. The downside (major downside) was the 2 guys behind the counter joking around very loudly, giggling, shouting playing around the whole time we were eating. Distracting, annoying and unfortunately took away from how we enjoyed our meal. read more

This place has the balls to send UNCUT pizza on a paper plate in a paper bag. Never in my 36 years of life, have I seen this. They also don't bother to salt their property during snow. It's only 2 stars (as opposed to 1) because the pizza is actually good. Their service, both in person and via delivery, is horrendous. They are a pretentious bunch. Don't bother. read more

Hard for me to judge so completely, as I was here for another event, on a day they were officially closed but provided pizza for the guests. BUT, this was their time to shine... and they kinda didn't. Great environment, backyard pleasant, interior comfie, great welcoming staff, and cool location. I'm a stickler for great pizza being great ONLY if both the sauce, toppings AND crust is well done. I loved Dozzino's crust, nice crunch in the right places, thick enough to hold a hearty sauce and toppings, buttery, not greasy, and yet charred from the oven, good foldability, but also good to hold in-hand with just a napkin, should no plates arrive on time. But the crust didn't have a hearty, tasty sauce. Didn't have a decent amount of cheese. And the pepperoni/salami topping on the pie i had was scarce. It smelled great, came out nice and hot, cut into with a crunch. But that sauce was tasteless. It made me upset. I wanna someday prove NJ has some great pizza to my Brooklyn-raised friends who know great pizza. No, Dozzino... just no. 1 extra star for that crust, tho. read more

We had a private party here over the weekend and could not have had a better experience. Johnny and Josh were amazing and provided such outstanding service. Not only that, they were fun and pleasures to work with. We did not get the chef's name but the food was SO GREAT. The artisanal pizzas, flavor-packed meatballs, the penne vodka (!!) - all off the charts. Thank you so much to Marc and his team for sharing the incredible venue, providing top-notch service, and creating an environment that made our celebration a hit. read more

Delivered in a greasy paper bag with paper over the pizza that pulled off all of the cheese. When we called to ask about it we were met with terrible rude service. We had to throw away the pizza and order from another place. Waste of time, money, & paper. I remember this place being better but I haven't ordered from them since probably Christmas. It's a shame that we had such a bad delivery experience coupled with terrible customer service. The gentleman on the phone said that he was "so happy to hear" that we did not want another paper bag pizza, now would we be ordering from there again. I'd be very disappointed to find out that a member of my staff (hopefully he was not management) was responding to customers that way-esp bc I called thinking that it must have been a mistake, not looking for blood. This guy confirmed that this kind of sloppy delivery was the standard there. A little quality customer service is an easy fix to most problems; guess he didn't know. He put the nail in the coffin for us, we won't be ordering delivery or dining in with them again...ever. read more

I feel this place deserves 5 stars and would recommend, but the service is awful!!! And don't try to make any adjustments to your order because that's is out of their philosophy nor do they heat up your extra marinara sauce. Still not sure if the faults are the restaurants problem or the fact that the servers are so bad at their job. Otherwise the pizza is fantastic and the sauce is really great. The backyard is adorable and very peaceful. Appetizers could use some work but still tasty. read more

Funny story here. What started as a misunderstanding on Facebook turned into an incredible dining experience for me and my friend! If you've never heard of Dozzino's or never been there, you don't know what you're missing. We started out with the pepperoni fried rice which is an Italian twist to an Asian dish. It was AMAZING! The flavors all came together perfectly with each bite! Next we had the Honey pizza, which is made with honey, mascarpone cheese, and prosciutto! Wow! What a way to bring these tastes together! We were thoroughly impressed with everything. Shout out to Marc and his staff for doing a great job considering the tough times were in with Covid-19! Looking forward to visiting this place again and trying more of their fantastic menu! read more

Farm-to-Table Fresh, but Problems with Operations... Long wait times, slow service, and an inconsistent menu are the 3 major factors holding this back from being a great restaurant. The pizza itself is good and the locally sourced ingredients really do make a difference. But because they are always running out of stuff the menu is inconsistent. I want to love this place, but it's hard since it's always taken an hour just to get pizzas and they never seem to be able to execute their full menu on any given night. read more

This place has consistently great food. The owner and team are easy to partner with for private events. I have thrown a few showers here over the last 9 years and have always had rave reviews from (picky) guests. They are a strong partner in the community and I am going to remind my friends to support a local gem. read more

Absolutely amazing date night/family get together/friends night out restaurant! The vibe is amazing, great place to bring an extra large (maybe 2-3) bottles of wine and relax in a very laid back environment. The pizza is brick oven, so fresh and delicious, and far away from the chaos of Washington street. It's definitely a little hidden gem if you want AMAZING pizza. The best part is the outdoor seating, lights and bocci ball court in the summer. Recommend it to anyone looking for a new restaurant in Hoboken off the beaten path. read more

Dozzino - Pizza Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

I usually roll my eyes when I see "INSERT NAME OF NEW PIZZA PLACE coming soon!" in an empty store front window in Hoboken...But Dozzino is a (relatively) new pizza place that stands out from the rest in Hoboken, and here's why: It's a much needed cool spot for our town: --Bocce ball court and cafe string lights in the back yard --Solid music: hip hop, jazz crooners, etc. --Young, hip staff --Simple, rustic interior includes reclaimed wood tables and a chalkboard menu. It's delicious, wood-fired pizza with GREAT QUALITY ingredients. Not your standard pizza that is only good when you're drunk Hoboken...ahem 7 Stars, Basile's, Bona, etc... and whose mozzarella and peperoni comes from a plastic bag. --Dozzino makes their own fior di latte and dough --charcuterie for toppings is on point --dough is salty and pillowy --can't go wrong with Diavola or La Roma style pizzas, or the mascarpone nutella crostinis Quick seating --We always get seated in about 15 minutes or less, probably because it's off the beaten path. Lastly, just addressing some of the complaints about the service: I've been here probably 10 times, and yes, sometimes they run out of certain things and could probably work on that (which is why i took a star away from my review), but I've always ended up with a pizza on my table and food in my belly when I show up. Regarding the "rude" service: I think some people are just a little too sensitive. This is a casual pizza restaurant, its not Per Se. No one should expect the servers to roll out the red carpet. The service is usually prompt, friendly enough, and no one has ever been flat out rude. Personally, I don't like nor need an overly, fake smiley server asking me if everything is good every 15 minutes. Everyone needs to stop complaining and be thankful we have at least one cool place in Hoboken :) read more

When I heard they had Bocci in the back and it was BYOB, I was excited to be able to hang out and really enjoy my time there with my friends and have some yummy pizza. It's also nice that they try to get all their ingredients from local farms, but the down side to that, is they run out of ingredients and don't seem to have any backups to replace what they don't have. When 5 of us arrived, we found a table in the front and were waiting on 2 more people to join us. After only 10 minutes or so, our waiter kept asking when the rest of our party would arrive and seemed irritated that we were waiting for other people before we put in our order. Once everyone got there, the waiter quickly rambled through the menu, citing several basic items and toppings that were not available. When we started asking questions on what the different types of pies were, he seemed irritated that we were asking! Since on of the toppings we wanted was not available, we asked if they could substitute tomatoes instead and the waiter started to act like we were a high maintenance crowd for even thinking we could try to customize our pizza. Normally, if I have a bad waiter experience I write it off as the individual having an off day, but the fact that the owner was there and watching and didn't come over to our table to see if he could make our visit better, speaks volumes. He just stood in the kitchen and looked at us. I would have understood if we were a rude or obnoxious group, but several of us have worked in the restaurant/bar industry before and know how to be good customers. We were nothing but nice. All in all, we really didn't feel like they wanted our business so we ended up canceling our order, getting up and leaving. I don't plan on going back. If a pizza place is going to charge $12-$18 for a small pie, you think the customer service would be a little better than what you'd find at a 7/11. I don't support any businesses that don't value their customers. If they don't want our money, that's fine with me! read more

It's not you, Dozzino, it's me. (Actually it is you, but I wanted some people to click 'funny'.) There's something deeply unsatisfying about this pizza. It strives for perfection but ends up sterile and inconsistent. Overall a bland end product. I was excited for months for this. A let down. I guess I should go back in a month or two to see if my pie can be explained by opening jitters since their heart is in the right place. I'm probably too cheap to do that. Hated the iPad for cash out as well. read more

Small pizza's way overpriced for the size and quality. Any number of amazing spots are priced similarly with the same quality ingredients and fancy ovens but you get much more for your money. Most importantly, the service was poor. Very disinterested and not very polite. Don't get me wrong, I have worked in the restaurant business for a few years and I know how annoying customers can be and I'm not suggesting you guys roll out the red carpet but come on pay attention to your customers. We don't need fake smiles and we know this isn't Applebee's. It was like it was a privilege for us to be spending $200 a meal. If it's byob and I go get a 6 pack from the corner, when I walk back in offer us an opener, ask if we need glasses, knives, etc. come to the table and check to see how we are doing. I had to go ask for that?! Instead you are all watching tv. Lame. Won't return ever!! Maybe they just launder money and it's a front so yeah the less customers the better? read more

Normally I will withhold my judgement of a place if it's just a bad server. Sometimes they can be over busy, or maybe it's just that particular server is having a bad day. Unfortunately, neither were true in this case. It was early and the place was nearly empty, so that's no excuse. The server was also a bit disgusting as he had massive amounts of sweat rolling down his face, and didn't bother making himself at all professional or even somewhat presentable. Despite the place being so empty, he was really pushy in wanting us to order our food. We weren't taking long, but he wanted our order pratically immediately when we sat down, and was clearly annoyed that we weren't ready. He asked 2 more times in a span of 5 minutes or so. Again... the place is empty, I just don't understand what his rush was. The ordering process itself was also a nightmare as they didn't have some of the toppings for the standard pizzas that were on their menu, and were completely unaccommodating in our attempts to work around their missing ingredients. i.e. When we asked to substitute their missing artichokes with tomato, they refused. Apparently tomatoes are hard to come by in a pizza place. Even stranger, our server told us he was doing exactly what his boss (the owner) told him to do. While taking our order, the server kept looking over at the boss, who was behind the counter listening in to our conversation, and he at one point said, "yeah, my boss just gave me a thumbs up, i'm saying all the right things". This pushy, impatient, rude service wasn't only known about by the owner, but was actually directed by the owner. What kind of place works like this?!?! Clearly they have a "the customer is always wrong" mentality here. I definitely won't be going back. Oh, and they're very overpriced too. read more

I was really disappointed with my experience here, which is unfortunate because I was really looking forward to checking it out. From the moment of arrival to the moment of departure I felt rushed and like an inconvenience for asking questions. Definitely ranks as one of the top 5 worst experiences I've had. And, without a doubt, the worst in Hoboken. With all the other great food options in this town, I definitely won't be going back. read more

Food is great but they sell out and there is no remorse for not being able to serve customers.

It took me so long to get here but so glad I finally tasted a slice of heaven...... Aaahh I crack myself up. ANYWAY, came in with a friend to play catch up and she just so happens to know the owner so as soon as we sit down (inside unfortunately, because there were no tables outside) he tells us he is working on a wing recipe and gives us a plate to try. Delish little perk of knowing the right people ;) I ordered La Roma which is a margarita topped with Sopressata my friend had the Hot Onion, which is on the specials menu. It's a little odd that the specials menu is more extensive than the regular menu, buuuut from what I understand the specials don't change too often so it's more of like a Part 2 situation. I wanted to try a couple of the specials but I am partial to a Red pie, and the majority of the ones that sounded good are white pies. I can eat a slice of a white pie, but not an entire one so that was a bit of a bummer. When the pizzas came out 10-15 minutes later, I was so surprised by the amount of fluff! The dough was so light and airy, it had risen so much. I very much enjoyed every bite of this pie. Still could have used a little more sauce for my taste, but all the flavors were on point. This is a great hang out or date night spot. BYO and gentle on the bank account. Can't wait to come back and try some of the other pies and crostini. read more

I've now been here several times. I have to admit whenever I'm craving pizza Dozzino comes to mind. Everything from the deliciously unique dough to the homemade foir di latte to the exquisitely fresh ingredients.......just works. It's not a "normal" restaurant. Yea they may run out of a topping. That's because they have no freezer. They may even run out of dough. That's because they make it fresh daily. Anyone whose ever been in the biz knows those are GOOD things. If you have a glutton free diet or maybe a food allergy or don't wanna pay a little extra for freshness and quality.....maybe it's not for you. However, if you appreciate high end, artisanal pizza in a comfortable, cozy and casual atmosphere I HIGHLY recommend Dozzino. read more

I usually don't right bad review later but after tonight's food I thought they deserved one. This isn't my first time eating there but it will definitely be my last. When I went to pick it up around 730 the restaurant was empty, it used to be crowded, this should have been a sign to me. I picked up two pies to take home. Maybe they tried to pull a fast one over on us since we did takeout. So we got the Diavlo, it was eh, the dough was burnt and pretty chewy and there was hardly any cheese. The Bianco was even worse. They basically charged us $14 for crispy dough and some basil leaves...where were the three cheeses that were supposed to be on it?! I highly recommend you pick one of the better pizza places in Hoboken, there are so many! read more

Great spot to grab a pizza with friends - love their outdoor area and it's clearly their winning quality. I would love to rave about their pizza + service, but I've had better. We tried the Bianco, Uberto and Dino and the Bianco was excellent - fresh, flaky and yummy. The other two were just okay and pretty similar to each other. Not many options for meat lovers who don't eat pork. BYOB and closed on Mondays. read more

Great pizza but the staff is very snobby, slow, and when you walk in they act like you should be grateful to be let in. Also I once ordered a salad and it was literally weeds that you could pick off the sidewalk. For the price it was absolutely not worth it. read more

We went here last Saturday night and we're very disappointed. Waiter asked us to hurry up and order because they had a lot of reservations to get through, meanwhile we booked a reservation as well. Then when the pizza arrived it was so greasy and undercooked. We ended up leaving and only taking one pizza home. Air fried it to make it edible. Sad because the place is cute. read more

UPDATE: I don't think I will ever be returning here, unless someone visiting requests to go here specifically. Last night was the worst experience I have ever had here. The food, again, was excellent. But we felt like we were a bother to the staff, which should never be the case. A simple evening out: 4 girls, arriving at 8:45 for a quick dinner and drinks. There is 1 table in the front room with 2 people, and in the back a large party. The server STILL asks my friends who arrived a bit earlier than us to sit at the bar and wait for the rest of the party to arrive...with not a soul in the restaurant... We were rushed through the ordering process. 2 crostinis, which seem to get smaller and smaller for the price. 4 pizzas to share. We eat, leisurely, and sip our beers. At 10:00 ON THE DOT, the staff was DONE. They turned off the pleasant Christmas music, started playing YouTube videos of vintage No Doubt and Chili Peppers, blaring over our light conversation over drinks. The lights were turned up. Clearly, we were the last ones in the place, but a simple, "Hey guys, we're closing up soon" could have sufficed instead of basically making us feel like we were unwelcome and wasting the staff's precious closing time. I get it, you worked and want to go home. But this is still a business that you need to maintain, and as a very easy party of 4, we did not deserve it. To top it off, they claimed they could not split the bill, and could only use one credit card. I have split the bill between 2 here multiple times. When my friend, who had worked in a bar for a few years, called it bullshit quite kindly, the server got defensive and said, "Here, do you wanna see our system and how hard it is?" My friend contested, claiming it really was NOT an issue, just that she knew it could be done. Every staff member was now fighting with my friend, while she kept insisting she was still leaving a great tip on a $90 bill and that the issue was null. I wish I could write to the owners, but I doubt they'd really give a shit. Don't go here unless you're desperate for decent pizza and don't mind being ignored, belittled and rushed. read more

Burnt pizza. That's my main issue with this place. I would order once a week if they would not burn the pizza dough on a regular basis. Considering Coal is considered a carcinogenic in the Group 1 category, I am not a fan. I wonder how do they manage to burn it so bad all the time? Too bad, because I like the ingredients they use. I hoped they would fix their oven, or their technique over time, or they would clean the oven more often, but no, nothing changed. This place should be named The Burnt Pizza Place. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. read more

BYOB! Not many places nowadays have BYOB, so drink away! I came here with an old college friend (during winter months) and we ordered two pizzas to share between the two of us. It took us awhile to choose and even longer for a server to come around and take our order since we were in the backroom. I only remember getting the basil and my Sicilian friend ordered another one that was also very good. Pizzas arrived 10-15 minutes and we chowed down and chattered away. The pizzas themselves, were good. I'm not Italian pizza expert, but I can say that I haven't had many that were better. We didn't notice we were the only ones left in the restaurant when we paid, but the staff never ever pushed us out the door. That's sometimes unheard of. I know if I were working, I personally would want to get the customers out so I could go home! Two thumbs up! I'll come back when the weather is nice so we can have some booze on the patio area! read more

The service has been lousy the last two times I have gone to Dozzinos. One time I was I was forced to wait an hour to be seated. Only to find out they did not have enough pizza dough for everyone. The next time I attempted to go they did not honor a reservation that was made days in advance. My party was late by a few minutes due to parking issues which we all know can be a pain in hoboken. Anyway, our table was given to a smaller group. They first claimed they did not have enough space to seat us, but then they said they did not have enough pizza dough, which is absurd especially on a Saturday night in a town like Hoboken. You should never run out of food. You are turning away good business. The sad part is I did enjoy going to this restaurant when it first opened and had proper service. read more

Was in a friend's neighborhood and he wanted pizza so we came here for an early dinner. Love the natural light coming from the windows and the simple rustic look of the restaurant. We sat at the outdoor area and it felt just like sitting in our own back yard. Service was actually good the day we dropped by. Our waiter took the time to go over each item on the menu and gave us a few recommendations. We decided to spilt the Cheech2 and Diavola (the pizza had that spicy kick to it which I thought was pretty good). A nice laid back place for pizza and it is a byob establishment which is even better. read more

I want to like Dozzino. I really do . I live on the block. I enjoy quality pizza. I really would enjoy walking half a block to eat a quality pizza. Sadly, Dozzino just doesn't quite measure up. Not yet. My wife, daughter and I stopped by around 6pm on Saturday night. One advantage of having a toddler is that it gives you an excuse to eat dinner early, thus avoiding the crowds. Even still, the small space was about 75% full when we arrived. We were seated at a small table in the back. Our waitress was great. 5 stars for the service - quick service, recommendations, and all the attentiveness you could ask for when you're dining with a 15 month old who is capable of making a ruckus at any given second. The space itself is nice. Dimly lit, with a front and back room. There have been complaints about the 2 TVs, but they are both muted and can be avoided. Nice wooden benches and tables. We started with the bruschetta crostini. Quality ingredients and a pretty good serving size. So far, pretty good. Next came the pizzas. Let's start with the good - both pizzas came out quickly (15 minutes after our order) and for 'personal pizzas' were impressive in size. We ordered the Tomato (sweet cherry tomato, mozz, basil) and the Diavola (spicy salami/spicy sauce). Now for the not so good.. the pizza was by no means 'bad', but I can't say it was great. The tomato pie did have a nice sweet taste from the tomatoes, but the cheese seemed kinda of.. bland, and the pie was lacking in basil. The diavola pie was spicy it seems for the sake of being spicy. I'm a fan of spicy food, but there wasn't much flavor other than the 'I just finished my beer and need a drink!' after taking a bite. All in all, I'm willing to give Dozzino another try (or two). It's a nice change of pace eating environment from all the bar & grills in Hoboken, and let's face it.. I'm right down the block. read more

One star for being BYOB (side note: Lambrusco = perfect pizza wine). Another star for the minimal wait; our party of 2 always has luck getting a table within 5 minutes of arrival. The final star is for the crostinis: I WILL cut you if you eat the last spesto (think rustic pesto: rough chopped spinach, walnuts, parm-reg, and evoo), prosciutto (um, tasty pork, yes?) or peanut butter cup (marscapone folded with nutella and peanut butter, topped with a sprinkle of sea-salt). The pizzas however...are just ok; I'm not a fan of paying scrilla for something I could have made at home with a pizza stone and some fresh mutz. Yes, the crust is chewy and thin, but so are the layers of cheese and toppings - more meat, cheese y sauce, please! read more

I've eaten at Dozzino before, and I was excited to return last week. The Diavolo pizza is spicy and delicious, it's BYOB, and it's got bocce outside! What's not to like? Welllll, there were a number of things not to like, as it turns out. Our server took at least 20 minutes to take our order on a night that was not that busy. Tables that came in after we did were served first. We also had to hunt him down to get our check at the end of the night. And the bocce balls were MIA. The pizza was delicious, as always, which is the only reason I'm still giving the restaurant three stars. The mixed green salad, though dressed well, was not a salad as I know it. My definition of a salad includes more than one ingredient. Their "salad" was lettuce on a plate. For $7. Hugely disappointing overall. read more

Love their pies, hate that I can never eat them. I would give Dozzino a better rating if I wasn't so miffed by the fact that they seem to be closed all the time for a private party. My husband and I ate at Dozzino in April and we loved the pizza. We tried and order of crostini with bruschetta, a daily salad and the spicy, pizza Diavola. While everything was good, the pizza was great. The quality of the ingredients really shines here. The dough was tasty, chewy, crispy and charred just enough to make you want to eat another pie. A lot of Yelpers are complaining about the fact that they run out of dough, that they don't offer choose-your-own toppings and whatever else they expect from a Hoboken pizzeria; but you really have to leave certain expectations at the door. This is not a pizzeria like Benny's or Mario's, it's a restaurant that sells artisanal pies. Why on earth Dozzino doesn't want our money, I can't say. All I know, is that every time my family has walked past the restaurant (usually on the weekends) - there's a sign on the door saying "Closed for Private Party" - when we look inside, the entire front room is empty except for a handful of the wait staff just sitting around. It's hard to recommend this place to anyone when they seem to be closed so much. Yes, they have a twitter feed, but my husband made a good point by saying, "They're not a food truck, you shouldn't have to check twitter every time you want to eat there." read more

Dozzino - Dozzino, apparently, it's a great place to have a private event. Too bad that's why they're always closed! :( - Pizza Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Much better the second time than the first time I went a year or so ago when they had just opened and were out of lots of things. As to be expected, the pizzas with prosciutto and egg were the best, though priced significantly higher than the standard pizzas ($18 vs $10-12), which were also great. Not sure why they don't list the high end pizzas on their website to let you get your craving on before seeing the menus...Also good were the crostini and daily special veggie app (asparagus). Also didn't really think the TV fit the vibe in the back room, but the Yanks won so it's all good. They did seem to be a little understaffed on a Friday night, so maybe manage your expectations and anticipate a leisurely paced meal. read more
