I don't understand the mixed reviews because the food was delicious and came with great portions and the ambience was both perfect for a family dinner or date night. Our server was great, even flagged we forgot our keys. It was my first time trying fritto mixto and I was blown away. The artichoke and mushrooms were amazing, the breading wasn't too overpowering and added to the dish. The Marsala was delicious and the fusilli vodka was a repeat dish. Get it with the sausage! Would love to try everything on this menu - their pizzas looked good too! read more

This place is actually very good. My experience with delivery was probably a fluke. I've come here to dine in a few times since then, and the food is good. The square pie is better than the round. Portions are solid, ingredients taste fresh and I especially like the tomato sauce they use. read more

A go to spot for pizza in Hoboken! If you live uptown, you have to stop by Johnny Pepperoni. The service is great and the quality of the food is top notch. Highly recommend the square pie where you can add as many toppings as you want. read more

Johnny Pepperoni - Mushroom, onion, pepperoni square pie - Pizza Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Great spot for dine in pizza or takeaways! They offer Detroit style by the pie, and it is some of the best Hoboken has to offer. Their pasta and salad dishes are also great, but the pizza is the star of the show here. We tried two different pies, the spicy sausage and the pepperoni. While the sausage one was great, the pepperoni one is the one you have to try if you come here. Staff was very friendly and the atmosphere is nice for any occasion including a casual date, family, or friends just looking to grab a bite. It is BYOB and there is also outdoor seating for the sunny months! read more

Johnny Pepperonis has been one of my mainstays during the covid era. While I have yet to personally dine there during this time, I have done multiple order pick-ups and deliveries, and each has been on point, accurate, warm, and just as good as if you were eating in the restaurant. Can't get Johnny Peps without ordering their wings - IMO the best wings in Hoboken. They are a little breadier than I generally like, but it really works for these wings. The breading isn't too thick, and it's the perfect level of crispy - and the buffalo sauce is really tasty! An order of wings comes with blue cheese or ranch (i opt for blue cheese here, but it's $1 for extra sauce) and also come with some celery. My go to pizza option is the Mushroom fontina; If you ask my husband, he'd pick the square pie. If I'm in the mood for pasta, I know I can't really go wrong - the pasta is always cooked perfectly al dente also. read more

The service, ambiance, and location were amazing, but the food was just okay. I was salivating looking at photos of the pizza on Yelp so maybe this pizza lovers expectations were too high, but it just missed the mark. We started with the Marinated Mushroom salad and complementary bread and butter - both were subpar. We ordered the square pie with mushrooms, olives and onions. IMO - the mushrooms were too raw for a pizza topping. Although the pie was twice baked, some bites still felt soggy on the bottom. Finally, we were between the tiramisu and cannoli for dinner. We opt for the tiramisu because it was homemade. I didn't take a photo because presentation wasn't great and unfortunately the dessert wasn't my favorite either. read more

Finally able to try Johnny Pepperoni's. Friendly staff. Had a minor issue with seating in the beginning but the issue was quickly resolved. Nice selection of items on their menu but we opted to try the pizza. Ordered the 14 inch round pie and added pepperoni. It came out within a reasonable time and piping hot. Loved that it was thin crust. Thought it was good but a little salty with the pepperonis added and could use a more even distribution of the fresh mozzarella. Overall yes the pizza was good but it wasn't anything special to rave about. Loved the aesthetics/decor of the restaurant. Perfect for a summer date night or outdoor dining. read more

First time there last night. Great food and very nice atmosphere. If you sit inside, just beware the noise factor - it was a little hard to hear. I liked the clever neon sign. Wait staff was good, proactive on the water refills. As for appetizers, Arancini di riso (aka rice balls) was pretty mid but the burrata was very good. Chicken parm with vodka sauce over spaghetti was very good (slices of garlic was welcomed). Regarding the pizza... two pies (1) 14" plain was really good - nice crust and no flop. (2) 14" hot honey pepperoni was excellent. That pie alone is worth a visit. Overall, highly recommend and would go back. read more

I wanted to like it, i really did but as soon as I ordered the ricotta bruschetta my heart broke. It's almost disrespectful to have a slice of bread slathered in ricotta and a few diced tomatoes and call it bruschetta. For that, I couldve done it myself at home and called it a struggle snack. I already anticipated the rest of the experience to be subpar. The pasta entrees were salty so perhaps this is more of a pizza place than anything else? read more

Johnny Pepperoni - Bruschetta - Pizza Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Chicken Parm is very good. Haven't tried many menu options but that entree is on par with some of the best I've had.

I saw this place on Hoboken Girls page. Someone said they had the best penne vodka so I knew I had to try it. I was in town for work, I ordered the penne vodka and wow it was amazing. So flavorful and had chunks of tomatoes in it. A huge portion too! I was able to take some for lunch the next day. I also got a Caesar salad and the dressing was in the top 5 I've ever had. Really flavorful and garlicky but not over powering! Service was great! Very friendly and helpful read more

Stumbled upon this place on a Saturday night when everywhere else was packed / fully booked. Overall OK experience - OK food, nice ambiance, good service. Tried their weekly specials: Drunken Mussels - With butter, garlic, dijon mustard, lemon juice and red pepper flakes, in a white wine sauce, served with two toast points - pretty fresh mussels, very buttery and garlicky sauce - way too salty though. The Half Moon - Homemade ciabatta bread stuffed with buffalo chicken parm, red onions, tomatoes and lettuce, served with french fries and a side of buffalo aioli - bit disappointed with this one, the bread is too tough and you need a saw to cut it. Pumpkin Ravioli - With grilled chicken in sage brown butter sauce and parmigiana reggiano - WOW! Loved the raviolis! The pumpkin flavor really shines through and it almost tasted like a dessert with the hint of sweetness which complimented the cheese and sauce very well. The chicken unfortunately was bit too tough/dry though. The ambiance is good - the indoor space is actually open all around, so it's just like outdoor with roof over your head - great for COVID cautiousness. read more

Unlimited bread... need I say more! Amazing spot have been living in Hoboken for years and finally made my way over. Shared the hot honey pepperoni pie special and it did not disappoint. At $27 it was a bit pricy was perfect for sharing with a friend though. It is also a great spot for BYO which is really nice and hard to find in the area. I would go back and would love to try more of their pies/pasta. read more

Johnny Pepperoni - Hot honey pepperoni pie - Pizza Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Been to Johnny Pepperoni's only twice but enjoyed both experiences. The two experiences I had at Johnny pepperoni's were very different. The first we ordered one or two apps (the burrata with prosciutto was *chefs kiss*) and a bunch of pies to split. That's the way to go in my opinion. I'd recommend the Mushroom & Fontina pie, and the Sausage & Broccoli Rabe. When I returned for my second visit, my group had a different approach. Many wanted their own entrees, so splitting pies was regrettably off the table. A few ordered chicken and fish dishes and seemed satisfied but not overly thrilled. I sampled the chicken parm which I surprisingly did not love. Mussels appetizer was fine. Arancini was good. Tip: go with a group and order a bunch of pizzas. Bring wine (BYOB!!) and enjoy yourself. Solid Hoboken spot, great little environment as well. read more

Johnny Pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

I love pizza. My boyfriend loves pizza. So we decided to slowly hit up all the pizza spots in Hoboken (not all at once). Johnny Pepperoni had been on our list for a while because we always passed by it on the way to/from Trader Joe's. One snowstormy day, we found ourselves with no dinner, and had a small case of cabin fever. So we decided to place an order and trek on over to pick up some pizza. To start, we ordered a side of the arancini (Sicilian-style rice fritters, prosciutto, fontina and tomato sauce), which I didn't like. Somethaing didn't taste right with the cheese - like they might have mixed some cheddar cheese, or kraft singles in it. For the pizza, we had the Mushroom and Fontina pie (white pizza, roasted mushrooms, fontina, fresh mozzarella, pecorino, garlic and thyme). Now I don't know if maybe I just don't like white pizza, or if it was just too much going on, but I didn't like it as much as I was expecting it to. It was pretty heavy. On the plus side, there were a decent amount of mushrooms on the pie; I just wish they had spread it out more evenly. Perhaps their pies would taste better if you dine in, so I wouldn't mind going back to try a different pizza, preferably one with sauce. Plus, I believe it's BYOB! read more

First time visiting and would definitely recommend and return next time we are in Jersey. Staff was very accommodating. We had our infant son with us and staff welcomed us right in and got us a spot where we could park our stroller next to our seats. Food was great. Ambiance was great and staff were amazing. Not one bad thing to mention here! read more

Johnny Pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

I had been wanting to try Johnny Pepperoni for a long time, despite hearing mixed reviews, ranging from "eh, it's ok" to "best salmon ever".  So, when I found a local friend that also had been meaning to visit the restaurant, we decided to go there for dinner.  The space resembled a casual pizzeria with red and white checkered tablecloths, but the menu and something about the overall atmosphere made it seem more upscale than you standard "by-the-slice" kind of place.  The service was attentive and friendly, though they could have been more helpful with the wine my friend had brought with her.  (The restaurant was BYOB.)   As much as the provided, doughy bread basket taunted me, I was able to refrain from having a slice.  Instead, I focused my sights on my Chicken al Diavolo entreé, which was unreal!  The portion was a half of a small chicken, which was marinated and cooked until it was extremely tender.  The poultry was served over a warm salad of roasted onions and vinegar peppers, and all of this was seasoned with chili flakes and paprika.  It was spicy, tangy, sweet, and acidic.  Though I typically do not like onions, the caramelized vegetables were so flavorful and the portion so generous, that I did not miss having a heavier, starchier side dish.   Johnny Pepperoni surpassed my expectations, and I look forward to going back to try their large pizza pies. read more

Great place to go early with toddler. Very accommodating and great food. The owner gave our 2 year old a meatball and she loved it (as did we). We split the Sicilian pasta (delicious, creamy and spicy) and the grandma pie with pepperoni (crunchy and flavorful). Red sauce is on point! read more

Stopped by last night since the wait at Otto Strada was an hour & 45 minutes and we wanted to dine somewhere nearby that was also BYO. Johnny pep's menu isn't as interesting as Otto Strada or Napolis but we were able to get seated without a wait and the service was good and friendly. We shared the baked shrimp scampi to start which comes with 6 shrimp and two garlic toasts which were great for dipping In the scampi sauce. Since we couldn't decide on a pizza to share, we each got pasta dishes. I had the fusilli vodka which had a lot of sausage and chunks of mozz. My friend had the grilled ratatouille without olives. She said the sauce had a little kick. We both enjoyed our dishes and had leftovers to take home since the bowls were huge. read more

Absolutely loved Johnny pepperonis BUTTT they recently raised their prices by about 30%!!! One of the reasons we've loved Johnny pepperoni was that it was an affordable option, but also high quality food. now that the prices are as high as everywhere else then we will likely just go to those places and no longer be Johnny pepperoni customer :( read more

The restaurant stated i should "dispute" on uber eats to obtain my refund for the wrong order that they had made and sent out. It is not that easy on uber eats. Pic attached. Again, terrible customer service. read more

Johnny Pepperoni - No refund. - Pizza Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Ordered both the square pie and a regular cheese. Both were underwhelming. Square pie was greasy and unappetizing.

Haven't been to Johnny Pep's in many years. Stopped in for dinner and I am so glad I did! The place is family friendly and warm and inviting. Sat down and we were immediately given delicious bread/butter and a bottle of water. Had the Arancini for appetizer and they were so good, cheesy and crispy on a bed of chunky marinara. Entrees were baked cavatappi with sausage and the Salmon w fresh spinach both were delicious and good sized. The service was friendly and prompt. Looking forward to returning to try more entrees and the pizza! It's BYO too!! read more

I enjoyed the pizza here. I really like thin crust pizza. The sauce is delicious. It's a very family friendly place. It can't get pretty loud in there. That's the only reason why I didn't give this place five stars. read more

This was our favorite pizza place for years. We would come here almost every week and knew the staff. Over the past couple of months this place has drastically changed for the worse. The tomato sauce is a different color, cheese looks different, and the taste of the pizza is under par. I'm not sure if this place is under new management or a different chef but I will not return for some time hoping that it will be back to the way it once was. read more

After a little bit of hijinks, we received an amazing pizza. Probably the best in Hoboken. The staff is super nice and helpful and absolutely the best in Hoboken. Highly recommend. read more

My friends and I are on a mission to go to every pizza place in Hoboken and rate their cheese pie out of 10. Overall experience was good. Vibes inside the restaurant was great and pizza overall was crispy and tasted well. Not the most mind blowing pizza I ever had but it was above average. Our average score was 7/10.

A great spot uptown for residents who love pizza, I highly recommend their square pie which you can have 10+ toppings half and half even, they will accommodate, it's a nice family run business and always enjoy it when I'm in the mood for a different style of pizza and most other places provide a thin crust which they also have but once in a while you want to change it up, there is plenty of dining space and family friendly indoors and outdoors, there is parking but no garage nearby, they accept cash or and they do not sell individual slices. read more

Johnny Pepperoni - This is the Square Pie with vodka sauce and fresh cut basi for 2-4 people (8 slices) Sicilian style - Pizza Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

One of my go-to Italian spots in Hoboken. Casual neighborhood spot with paper napkins and tumblers for wine glasses. Great place to go with friends and take down some BYO wine. The parm dishes are among the best in town. Actually I'd say their eggplant parm is the best in Hoboken. It always has the right texture and firmness, with the sweet undertone from the eggplant. Always delicious. Eggplant parm is hard to get consistently right. Service is always cheerful and attentive. Waitstaff are all youngsters with their whole lives ahead of them, their stories yet to be written. They seem to actually enjoy working there with each other. It gives off a good energy, and I'm not a chakra namasta energy vibe type. I've always found the pizza to be a little too salty and it's not my favorite. I stick with the parm dishes and always leave in a food coma. Recent price hike hasn't kept me away. read more

Can't go wrong with this spot! Pizza definitely is up to par with most other hoboken spots. I was especially surprised with the pasta, and would come back for just that. The prices are kinda high but they meet the general prices of other places in the area as well as the quality of ingredient ! read more

Enjoyed Johnny Pepperoni's more than I had anticipated! We dined around 8pm on a Friday night and were lucky enough to get seated right away at a table for four. The service was very good and fast. It's BYOB so that's a plus. Was a little unimpressed by the "wine glasses" which are actually just small juice glasses but that's not worthy of losing a star! For an appetizer we had the Cherry Tomato and Ricotta Bruschetta which was really good. It's basically a cherry tomato sliced a couple times with ricotta cheese and bread. Different than the traditional bruschetta but I really liked it. For an entree I had the Eggplant Parmigiana which came in an individual skillet and was layers of thinly sliced (not too thin) eggplant with great sauce and a good amount of mozzarella cheese. Great Eggplant Parm! Definitely hope to try the pizzas next time around! read more

Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. For some dumb reason I went back to this well and got even worse results. I decided to cater my office lunch and learn from this joint. Now my keys to a good catering job is punctuality, communication and good food. While JP has great pizza they are terribly managed. The food was over 45 min late and what's worst is I kept being told that it was 5 min away. I'll never ever cater or eat here again. read more

ok so I went there last night for dinner and I woke up dreaming about- i'm serious... It would be so great if someone actually brought me a pie right about now... So AMAZING service. They were constantly checking up on us, making sure everything was good, refilling our waters, and anything else we needed BYOB- always a great thing! ok, so for appetizers we got the ricotta bruschetta- that was soo sooo good-- a lit tip for them I wish it had some balsamic drizzle, but still great. The calamari- really good, and came with two dipping sauces. The green salad and the Caesar salad- both good and the dressing was good and not too much.. Now for the best part- the pizza- we ordered 3 pies- the grandma, the mushroom and fontina, and the chicken parm. ALL THREE WERE GREAT. We asked them to cut the slices smaller so everyone at the table could sample them, and they did. My favorite was the grandma slice, then the chicken parm, then the mushroom. Everyone at the table enjoyed the pizzas... I really wanna go back and get some more.. We sat outside on the outdoor patio and it was a gorgeous night out. We sat there awhile finishing our drinks and we were not rushed at all to leave. Great experience, definitely wanna come back!! read more

During this pandemic, I have ordered from Johnny Pepperoni more often than any other restaurant in Hoboken. By far their service has exceeded my expectations, and I must say I always look forward to getting my personalized shopping bag with my items every time! They are terrific and the food is amazing! I would highly recommend the radicchio salad with grilled chicken! I don't know what they put in their dressing, but I want that secret recipe! read more
