Kinchley's is a North Jersey staple! Known for their pizza the four of us stopped in for lunch on a Sunday. Garrett was our server and a total wisecrack haha We ordered baked stuffed clams and wings to start then ended up sharing the Mushroom/Onion/Sausage pizza with vodka sauce. The thin crust pizza was so good and we took half of it home! Keep in mind it's cash only though they have an ATM on site! read more

Last week, my husband and I went to Kinchley's Tavern. We were lucky and got seated at one of the booths before the dinner rush. Here's what we ordered that night to share between us: - Plain Pizza Pie (we both agreed one of best thin slice pizzas we've had) - Veggie Pizza Pie (they don't skimp on toppings) - Marco's Zesty Greek (fresh veggies, nice dressing, and even a few dolmas) - Basket of Onion Rings (really good, nice batter and fry, how onion rings should be made) Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs that night. We had leftover pizza that they packed up for us towards the end of our meal. They also asked if we needed change, which was nice. Heads up - Kinchley's is CASH ONLY. (There is an ATM by the entrance if you forget) In short, we had a really good meal there and now my husband is a fan. We already have plans on returning. read more

Tried Kinchleys for the first time this weekend and we did take out. We love how thin the pizza is! I'm sure it probably tastes better fresh dining in person. The large pies are pretty small and feed about 2 people per pie. The pizza was okay! read more

Kinchley's Tavern - Cheese pizza - Pizza Near Me - Ramsey, New Jersey

Update: finally got to experience dine in! Tiny dining room but excellent experience. Staff is top notch, I got to try more of the menu (meatballs in brown sauce appetizer is great. I had a bite of my husband chicken parm, also delicious and the white pizza is so good and more enjoyable and less heavy compared to other pizzerias). read more

I've been passing by this place multiple times before trying it out and it always looked packed. Very casual setting and mixed crowd. Friendly laid back staff provide good service. They have great beer selection which I enjoyed. "Garbage" Pizza pie we ordered had literally everything on it and was great, but sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste (maybe because of contrast with savory toppings which also were heavy on the crust). Calamari and pretzel sticks were delicious but side cheese sauce was not good. CASH ONLY for payments, which I think should be directly stated at tables or menu. I saw old signs saying 'no checks or credit cards' (which who uses checks now to pay in restaurants today, plus there are debit cards) that were in between other old decorative signs so the message was not very clear/obvious. It only made sense after our server informed us of such policy. However it didn't take away from good food so next time I'm back I'll make sure to have cash on hand and try different pizzas. read more

Great value... thats the best thing about this place imo. Not the best bar pizza I've had (prefer Star or Colony), but still solid and Id definitely come if I'm in the area. Got the Plain pie... it was fine, especially for the price. It's busy. The parking lot is large but it was fairly full. Cash only read more

Great thin crust pizza! I haven't been here in quite a few years, and nothing has changed. Always busy and they have amazing food. There was about a 10 min wait, but we sat at the bar & ordered a large pie with garlic & black olives... mouthwatering! While waiting for our food, I enjoyed a Kinchleys Red and watched sports on their tvs. There was only one friendly waitress behind the bar and she was really hustling, but we were patient. Took home the leftovers and it definitely won't be years later until the next time I'm back! read more

Finally made it to Kinchley's and now I get the hype! We arrived around 6 on a Friday and put our names down. I was shocked at how packed it was, but after eating here I get why! We sat at the bar while we waited for our table (ended up being around 45 minutes). Everything we tried was amazing, but the pizza was the start of the show. Particularly, the creamed spinach pie which was packed with flavor. The pizza crust is on the thinner and crispier side, which is what I typically prefer. We also tried the mozzarella sticks and rice balls (which came in a rich pesto cream sauce..so good). The service was really quick, especially given how busy it was. I'll absolutely be back! read more

In a quest to try NJ's best pizza, we ended up here on a busy Saturday. We arrived at about 5:15pm and had to wait about 20 mins for a table for party of 4. Vibes are very old school tavern with memorabilia, horse decor, and paneled walls. The place opened in 1937 so it has that classic vibe. Tables are squeezed in and it's fast service. It is cash only but they do have an atm FYI. We tried the pretzel and meatballs with ricotta for an appetizer. The pretzel was a little greasy but ofc great and the meatballs were really good too. We tried the Kreamed Spinach and a classic plain. This is classic crispy bar pie and very crispy, light, delicious. If you like thin pizza with a crunch, this if for you. They also have a reasonably priced kids menu if your kid says "no pizza" then proceeds to eat pizza. The kids penne was well cooked with a healthy portion for $8.50. All the food was reasonably priced so another big plus. One bite gave this a 7.5, that is not accurate! This is really good bar pizza in a classic atmosphere and definitely worth the visit. read more

I was so excited to try the pizzas here and they did not disappoint! My group of 4 ordered a vodka with chicken cutlet, fra diablo with sausage, regular + pepperoni and banana peppers and creamed spinach + garlic pies (not a white pie) and they were all delicious! I love how thin and crispy the pies are. The fried ravioli was also really good. The ambiance is very casual and family friendly. Service was quick and super friendly! Can't wait to come back here! read more

Always a great meal at this old school pizza joint. My go to order the appetizer spicy penne vodka which is a generous portion. I also split a mushroom pie with my family. The wait staff is quick and attentive. The old wood paneling, signage, and train sets contribute to the charm of this place. Parking can be challenging on a Friday/Saturday night and there isn't a lot of room to stand inside when waiting for a table. Cash only. Definitely make a reservation before visiting! read more

I'm pretty mystified by Kinchley's. The pizza was similar to one I had in a small town in Manitoba, made by people who've never eaten a real pizza. People in north jersey know good pizza, and there's plenty of it around, so I can't figure out why anyone recommends this place. It's like recommending Taco Bell in Mexico. read more

Mouth watering bar pies and great Guinness on tap. The fast service and dive bar ambiance leaves for a great quick bite. We tried the spinach artichoke pizza, cheese pie, and spicy vodka sauce pasta- all phenomenal! I will definitely be returning! read more

We love the thin crust pizza at Kinchley's and have been going there for years, but last night, it was overcrowded, claustrophobic and extremely noisy, as could be expected on a Friday night. We had to eat quickly and leave. No complaints with the pizza, and our waitress was great, but we will never go back on a very busy night again. I should mention that the prices are always very reasonable. read more

Amazing food, and very kind and attentive staff. So sad I moved out of the area, but will be back to visit!

We love Kinchleys! We've been coming here for over 4 decades! They have the best pizza! We love the thin crust. We moved 2.5 hours away, but still return for our favorite pizza. I wish they would go back to "no reservations" though. I don't love staring at empty tables while waiting. Some tables sat empty for the entire 15/20 min we were waiting. Seems like a waste of valuable space. read more

I love the pizza. But I love thin crust pizza. The sauce is amazing as well. My review Is only for pizza and salad as that's all I usually have. Why 3 stars? The service is seriously lacking. The last three times I've been there we have received the wrong pizza. On our last visit we waited 45 mins for the correct pizza. Our house salad was beyond bland. We literally received a head of iceberg lettuce with 1/2 of a tomato, 2 olives and a slice of onion. The salad never looked like that in the past. Lastly, we waited over 15 mins for our change. I love the pizza but not sure I'd return due to the service. read more

We have this place a try and I am glad we did. You should definitely make a reservation as the wait is over an hour on weekends. I sat at the bar while I waited for the table which was packed. It's a basic bar no drink menu. It's most a beer and wine spot with basic mixed drinks. The best part was the interior which is frozen in time and I mean that in a good way. The pizza is really good and comes out oddly super fast with how busy it is. Definitely give this place a try. read more

The pizza is really good, so it's not the food that's the problem. It's just not at all the right atmosphere for an autistic person. Both times I've been here I've ended up very stressed out from how crowded, noisy, and packed in everything is. Not to mention the constant voice on the loudspeaker. The place is a nightmare for the ever increasing autistic population. Not their fault, I just can't go back or will door dash only if I'm in the area, lol. read more

Ordered thin crust pizza. Was great but should have specified to have it well done. Service was great. Old time look. Would definitely return. read more

Really good pizza in a fun atmosphere. Pizza is super thin with a nice crust around the edge. Not quite firm or crisp enough to be my dream of a true NJ bar pie but excellent pizza nonetheless. Very delicious sauce, nice and tangy and a bit salty but not too much. Has a hopping bar area and a nice big family-friendly dining area. Server was super nice. read more

It's been over 20 years since I been here. I live in PA. And I was in the area so I stopped bottle keg and kinchley's. The pizza is so good here!! Thin crust!!! I wish I could have sat down and ate it but I had a 1 1/2 hour ride home. This place has some serious history. It's really old looking inside and I mean that in a good way!! My mother and father came here before they got married back in the 1950's read more

Ambiance: (5/5) Great seating (booth, table, and bar). I loved the branding on some of the tables. Price: (4/5) Prices seem average for the area. Food: (4/5) I liked the garlic bread but I was expecting more garlic. I liked the buffalo tenders. I was glad they were soggy with the sauce. The pepperoni pizza was great (a bit on the oily side). I loved that it was super thin crust. Service: (5/5) Great service! read more

After hearing for years that Kinchley's Tavern serves the best thin-crust pizza in Bergen County -- maybe even in NJ and NY -- I finally made it in. It absolutely lived up to the hype. The thin crust is exactly what you want: crispy, light, and perfectly balanced so every bite has that ideal crunch without feeling heavy. The sauce has great flavor and the cheese-to-sauce ratio is spot on. We also ordered the fried ravioli and mussels, and both were excellent. The ravioli were crisp and flavorful, and the mussels were fresh and well-seasoned. You can tell this place has been doing what it does for a long time -- it's consistent and done right. Casual, no-frills atmosphere, great food, and definitely worth the trip. Already looking forward to coming back. read more

Where to start.... my husband raved about this place, said it was the best pizza ever! PROS: 1. Small and Homey 2. Waitresses were very nice CONS: 1. Staff person who sat us, seemed like he didn't want to be bothered, and put 4 grown adults in a small booth and let me tell ya, the Booths were VERY SMALL we are not fat people. 2. Pizza was too thin, tasted like cardboard, not flavorful like pizza should be, couldn't taste garlic, basil, no spices. 3. Couldn't get a drink refill to washdown the cardboard pizza - thankfully I had water in my car. I'm not really ever gonna go back. read more

I have been going here since i was a kid, and at 4 yrs old, and 25 yrs old, the quality of the pizza has stayed loyal to the recipeand delicious! They still have all the train-cars around the building (great for a game of ISpy if you have kids), and the checkered tables bring me back. The service is great, still is a great family owned bar style pizza place. I recommend the egg cream (chocolate is best!) i still like to venture out with a new appetizer once in a while, but 10/10 pizza, 10/10 ambiance! read more

This restaurant honestly has the best pizza I've ever had. It is thin which allows me to have more than just one slice and the pie that I have can actually taste good . But a pizza place is nothing without a good atmosphere but Kinchley's has that right too! It is the perfect lighting, the perfect retro vibe, and beautiful decorations. The workers are also so kind between the short wait and the good recommendations. Over this is the best pizza place ever. read more
