Great pizza!! I prefer their pizza over the other places! The pizza crust is more elastic, fluffier, and moist with a great chew - I even don't mind eating the pizza cornicione on its own! The cheese and toppings are also better too - seems to be thicker and complements the crust well! read more

this is THE spot for pizza if you're in the area. I came here during my undergraduate years and am glad it's still running after all this time! although the service is a bit slow and the pizza looks a bit stale AT TIMES (and a bit expensive for a specialized slice $4.50), i'd take this place over any other pizza place in the area. the price for a chicken parm sandwich is cheap (less than $10) and the vibe is great. if you're in the mood for pizza, def check it out read more

Robert's has been around forever and has been a landmark on Washington Street for decades. The first time I grabbed pizza here was during college nearly twenty years ago. Back then, there weren't many pizza spots in the area, let alone places to eat. Although now there are more options in the area, I'd say that Robert's still holds its own. Good pizza! read more

So I used to come here all the time about 20 years ago . It was one of the best places to grab food between classes at Rutgers. The pizza and the baked items were great and affordable Parking sucks in the area... unless you find street parking that is metered for like an hour - then you have to park in a lot or deck and spend 7-15 bucks for the 1st hour I came here today because I had business in the area and wanted to reminisce .... place looks exactly the same . There are two entrances. Comfortable and clean tables in the back. Service was eh/ok. Pizza was re-heated and it was standard . It was a good size tho. I should have gotten a baked dish because I used to love them here. Maybe next time read more

Robert's continues to have very good food. You order and pay first at the counter, whether you're dining in or out. The order takers are very friendly. Should you dine in, someone will bring your order to your table. I can't say enough how wonderful the Baked Ziti continues to be. This past summer, Robert's introduced their Strawberry Bacon Salad to which I'm addicted :) This salad includes mixed greens topped with smoked bacon, strawberries, crumbled feta cheese and toasted sunflower seeds. A great piece of Italian bread accompanies it. You can also get grilled chicken with the salad, which of course is an additional cost. I've noticed the last couple months. there's some really cute humorous signs in the restaurant. For example: "All you need is Pizza (with "Love" crossed out)". Check out my photo. Robert's Pizza now has an order app. on iTunes. The price range per person is under $10.00. The place does have delivery. The restaurant is located at 63 New St. on the corner of Washington Street. right across from Rutgers University. read more

Before I start, be advised, parking is extremely difficult because it's right near Rutger's University. But the parking doesn't stop me. I love this gem. Although I moved to MD, not a day goes by that I don't think about them when I'm craving great pizza or ziti. They're always so friendly and caring. They don't forget a face and once you become a regular, they treat you like family. They help you out when you're struggling and genuinely care. They take care of their workers and customers, I can't stress that enough. I think love that they will customize you dish every which way to your liking and their variety of pizza?! So clever! I've never had a bad experience here. read more

This was a nice small pizzeria. The staff was friendly and delivered my food to the table when it was ready. My order was ready quickly. I just ordered 2 slices of pepperoni pizza ($5?). The crust was very thin and they were light on the tomato sauce. The size of the slices were acceptable. I enjoyed the sauce and the pizza was cooked to my liking. The cheese was just right and there was plenty of pepperoni slices. Will I go back? Yeah, sure. read more

I've had the grilled chicken salad here twice, and it's a great value for the price. There is a lot of chicken that most places would usually charge a lot more for and it's great quality. If you get the dressing on the side, it's really a healthy choice. The chicken is not greasy at all. This particular salad comes with giardiniera and olives and if you're concerned about sodium maybe just opt out of getting those. The salad also comes with bread so if you're going low-carb you can chose to not get that as well. My food was ready for me on time each time I ordered online. It seems like it gets pretty busy here but the line moves relatively quickly. The pizza looks and smells amazing but unfortunately I have not had the chance to try it yet! I'm so intrigued but the french fry pizza. read more

Full disclosure-this review is based solely on ONE slice of pizza so I am sure I am going to re-review at some point in the near future. Stopped in at about noon recently to get a quick bite and just ordered a slice to go. I was in and out in less than three minutes. "HI! Can I help you?" "Yeah, can I get one slice to go?" "Sure. That's $2" Turns and tosses an already warm slice in the oven...waits about 60 seconds, takes it out, bags it and says "Have a great day!" "You too" and I walk out the door. Got in my car and dove into my slice...it tasted good, I liked the cheese and the sauce was ok, but I didn't like the crust...but I can't find the words to explain 'why' other than it was missing something-didn't add any flavor to the slice. Counter staff was friendly, place looked pretty clean, there were a bunch of people sitting at tables eating, but the slice didn't bowl me over. I will definitely give them another shot...too many good reviews to not try again_going back soon! read more

So I graduated from Rutgers Law School, which is directly across from Robert's. This place is awesome. The owners and staff are super friendly. The location is great if you're by the law school or on that general area. The bathroom is always clean, which is a must for me. The food is great for the price. Salads are hearty. Pastas are yummy. Sauce is nice. Calzones have been on point. The pizza is good. Solid. Cheese and sauce are nice. The fries are also one of my go-to items. It can get busy at times, but service is pretty quick. I have no complaints about this place, and def plan on returning. read more

Pizza is ok, a little over priced and greasy. Now this is why I give it 3 stars, got the chicken deluxe sandwich one time and it wasn't a fresh chicken cutlet. The one I got was a frozen pre made one, like they just threw it in the microwave. Another time I got the Italian chicken cutlet sandwich and it was the same thing. When on the pictures in the restaurant show fresh food. In a place that claims to have the best Italian food in downtown Newark I believe to be false food is not bad at all but doesn't live up to expectation read more

Could it be that I am getting jaded from this pizza place already? I have been on the fence with giving this place three or four stars. The pizza is good. I like the tomato sauce on it and the crust is good. The price is awesome, two slices will set me back about five dollars and is just the right amount of food for lunch. Some of the toppings are pretty creative, they have sweet peppers and onion pizza, that's like cheesesteak pizza minus the steak. The sandwiches are pretty good, the fries were memorable, service can be a bit brusque at times. read more

Super good pizza for a killer deal. For $5 you could fill your stomach with two large cheese slices and a soda. You really can't find that anywhere else, and the slices ARE NOT small. They serve a super generous portion for the small fee, making it twice the bargain if you're a struggling student like me who has only a few dollars to spend for food every school day. Aside from their deal, the other items on the menu are great. The chicken penne vodka is amazing with a good balance of chicken and pasta, and the toppings on their pizza are well worth it.

Specialties

Right across from Rutgers University, Robert's Pizzeria has been a Newark staple since 1985. Over the last several decades, "come meet us at Rob's" has become a common phrase around town. Why? Well, it's an invitation that's always met by delicious pizza and unforgettable times. Just check out our menu of pies, salads, subs, and pasta.

History

Established in 1985.

In 1985, soon after arriving from Italy, the Capra family opened a tiny pizzeria called Robert's in Newark on the corner of New and Washington Streets. The pizza was authentic and within a few years, they were able to expand. In 2008, the Miller family took over from the Capra's, keeping many of the old staff and well-loved recipes. Martin and his brother Jackie, together with Martin's son Josh and daughter Aly, added innovations and expanded the menu but kept all the old favorites, too.

Meet the Manager: Josh M.

Since starting at Robert's Pizzeria, Josh has loved being a part of the growing city of Newark. Greeting new and familiar faces every day, Josh leads his team in providing friendly, reliable service and great food.

Recently, I hosted a party for 80 people and used Cafe Expresso Italia for catering. They absolutely delivered. Communication was excellent, everything was ready on time, and the food was a huge hit with my guests. People couldn't stop talking about how good everything was. The staff is friendly, the service is reliable, and the food is outstanding. I highly recommend them for both a quick lunch and catering large events.

Today I had the spaghetti with calamari, the fish was so tender and the sauce delicious, just like I remember it. It came with fresh bread for dipping

It was a slow night here when we arrived around 5:30pm. But the service was nonetheless fast, efficient, and friendly. The pizza and chicken parm with vodka sauce (custom request) were fire.

The ribeye was good, but it could have used a little more seasoning. It lacked salt and spices so the fat/oil seemed overwhelming. The bruschetta was nice and fresh. The pasta fagioli was also good. The chicken cavatelli was pretty good, but the chicken was a little dry. The service team was kind and attentive. I would come back to Ellie's again.

I always love trying something off their seasonal pizza menu; during my most recent visit, I loved their maple bacon pizza, which had the perfect balance of sweet and savory. They don't accept reservations, so expect it to be pretty busy, especially during the weekends. Note that they also only have a limited cold food menu during the off hour between lunch and dinner.

Love going in the warmer weather when they open up the doors and have the bar serving on the patio. And let's face it, if you know anything about Arite's you know that there will always be a wait on the weekends. Having the bar and the patio makes waiting a breeze! The food is seriously better than ever. I actually think the pizza is even better at this new spot than the previous location. The sleeper favorite for me is the maple bacon pizza. Takes the white pie to another level and has become a go to for me. Always, I repeat always, order the meatballs and save the sauce for your pizza crust. The farmers salad is always a must for me as well. No one does a salad like Artie's. Give this place a shot because trust me, you won't be disappointed.

The atmosphere and restaurant look great. It has a good vibe and the service was great. Let me tell you about the burger, not the best, they give you a slider size patty, overcooked and served on a bun that comes apart when you grab it. I'm not sure about the rest of the menu, but not a burger place. Now the chocolate cake with the raspberry ice cream--wow! This was the best part of the meal. I'm giving this place 4 stars even though I didn't like the burger because that's all I tried. I'll come back and revise this rating up/down if I come back and try other menu items. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
