July 11, 2026 I grew up ten minutes from this business and used to go there as a child, teenager and young adult. I remember the pizza tasting better back then and I had a plain slice. There was something in the flavor that was off. I couldn't taste basil or oregano. Crust was just OK. Taste is subjective, so would I come back in the future? Highly unlikely. read more

The guys behind the counter are hustling. Their heads are on swivels and they are very friendly and their slices are delicious.

Special pizza city is all about the value and portions. And I'm down with that! Quality has varied in the past in terms of taste. But the pizza is solid. Sometimes what you see can be deceiving as the taste can be a little off. For example, I had the pizza in the picture! Looked great. The cheese to sauce ratio was off. Needed more sauce. The pepperoni and olives saved it. Don't get me wrong. It was satisfying. But as a pizza enthusiast, all parameters have to be on point for 5 stars. Again, I've had some wonderful 5 star pizza here but on many occasions, the pizza was off for one reason or another. Price is right! Very economical here for the budget minded! That large pie with two toppings and two fountain drinks was $23. I had my first experience with taco pizza here. OMG! Delicious! I like the interior. It's diner-esque and somewhat dated. I love it. The folks who work here, and presumably owners too, are very nice! The location is industrial and as such, portions are properly portioned for hungry customers who deserve a hearty meal. Ok. My best 5 star pick here is the Stromboli (large: pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, hot peppers). Huge and tasty with a generous amount of sauce! This establishment is definitely worth your time. read more

So this place on the outside looks like it hasn't been updated in a long long time. Which maybe true. But no matter what time you go inside, it is always bustling. I was craving their chicken and shrimp salad and was not disappointed. It is big enough for two. Comes with 6 seasoned shrimp and this chicken that is marinated so well on top of greens, onions (lots, and forgot to ask to hold back), olives, tomatoes and cucumbers. The marinade on the chicken is so good, you do not even need dressing on the salad. We also ordered a plain pie, which I don't think I have had their pizza before. It was a good solid pie. The cheese to sauce ratio on point. Good amount of sweetness to the sauce, and the crust was chewy yet crispy. Very satisfied. read more

If you are looking for a unique slice of pizza around Ewing area or just want to grab a slice of a plain this is the right place to be. I personally like to visit this place to enjoy their famous TACO pizza! Yes you heard that right, it is pizza that has taco ingredients on it. And if you are a spicy lover they will top it with some hot sauce for you. Pizza city staff is very friendly and always helpful! I also noticed they hired an extra worker that just walks around the floor to make sure you have your orders catered on time! The place is usually very busy so be prepared to wait for your order for a little bit. *Each pizza box comes with a coupon that you can cut out and I believe after collecting 10 of them you may get a free plain pizza pie! Great marketing tool. Thank you for reading this and I hope you find this helpful. read more

Ordered a crispy chicken sandwich for delivery today. Couldn't have been more disappointed. I got the delivery hour and 15 minutes later. Sandwich was soggy French fries were disgusting. And paid $20 for a sandwich and fries. What a waste of $20. Threw the food right to the trash everything was cold and just not edible . Will not recommend this place at all read more

Wow, just wow. Ordered a large plain pie with Two Large Fountain Diet Cokes. Asked for plates as they were delivering to our office. What arrives are two bottles of PEPSI...not even diet. And, no plates. Tried calling them as we ordered Fountain Diet Coke...hate Pepsi - esp bottled. Their response? If she doesn't like Pepsi, tell her to bring her own drink to work. Didn't ask for money back, but customer service that wasn't rude about their own mistakes would have been nice. Frequented this place for years and years and, with one phone call, ended that for me (and for everyone else I can tell). read more

TWO SLICE LUNCH REVIEW Stopped in to Special Pizza City on Olden Avenue Extension in Ewing, NJ, today for a quick lunch on a beautiful day. Plenty of parking, but a surprisingly small footprint inside with tables crowded together requiring side sliding to reach those against the wall. I asked for a regular slice and one Brooklyn square, well done. Order taken with a smile. Seven dollars and change. Looked good on the paper plates. Bigger than average. The undercarriage of the plain slice was thick and held the topside firmly. First bite was a heavy crunch through a thick crust and formidable layer of cheese. Nice, but neither the crust, cheese, nor red sauce layer had much flavor. The balance of cheese and sauce was out of whack, with way too much yellow and too little red. Then, half way through the wedge, the molten cheese separated from the base and slid in a gooey mass on to the plate. End of that mess. The Brooklyn square was better, but not enough to save the overall experience​. It did not fall apart and had a somewhat better flavor profile, with fresher mozza and basil added on top. Still, the taste was weaker than available in better Italian tomato pie parlors. Trenton has some great pizza shops. This is not one of them. read more

Beautiful food and the pizza tastes so good! Amazing service and it's pretty busy so try to call ahead.

One of the best pizza in New Jersey. It is constantly good. I've been going for 20 years and I always look forward to their

I was not disappointed, I went to get a slice of pizza and lost my mind, they had such a variety. I chose the Taco slice and it was delicious. It's one of their specialty pizzas, boy was it good and it was a healthy slice not skimpy. Check it out they also have steak sandwiches, salads, chicken, shrimp, tuna, Stromboli's and on and on. Don't go there on an empty stomach, you'll be buying everything. read more

I'll never order from here again!!!!! $35 special comes to $40.16. They over charged me $8. I called my bank and there are no fees for using my card. So I called back and they said I must be crazy cause they only charged 40.16. Then a guy in the background says oh they must be drunk. I canceled my order and asked for my money back. But he said go ahead and dispute it. They are thieves. DONT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE AND IF YOU DO MAKE SURE TO CHECK WHAT THRY ARE CHARGING YOU!!!!! read more

I've been coming to this place for a while buying the same grill chicken shrimp salad over & over. I drive a distance to pick up the salad & today I got home to realize the salad was wrong I called to let them know to see if they would bring me the right salad or somehow accommodate me for their error & they refused. I ended up just driving all the way back there to get a refund & I'll never patronize this place again. They are not customer service centric at all. Why do the customer have to be inconvenienced for a mistake they made. Bad business. I will not support bad customer service. read more

Every few months, I have always looked forward to getting pizza from Special Pizza City. Their food used to be high-quality, and I always felt confident that the staff who had prepared my food had been attentive to proper cooking and sanitation procedures. My latest experience at Special Pizza City has ruined me for want of pizza from there ever again. I ordered a half Taco, half White pie this evening. After eating through most of my slice of White pie, I bit into a piece of the slice that seemed to have an oddly textured piece of cheese cooked in with it. I will forever be grateful for my decision spit this strange cheese out, rather than just chalk it up to being a weird bite. It turns out this "cheese" was actually a silver-dollar sized piece of thick plastic wrap cooked into my white pie this evening. I shudder to think what could have occurred had this plastic wrapping been fully ingested--by me or anyone at all. This could have happened to a young child who may not have known to spit out the plastic, or to an adult with a compromised gag reflex, unable to regurgitate it. Tonight, someone could have choked to death. I spoke with the manager and implored him to retrain his staff on all food safety and preparation procedures. I understand that mistakes can be made, and that no one is perfect. However, the reality is that a chef's carelessness could have seriously hurt someone today. I strongly recommend against visiting this pizzeria, but if you ever do obtain food from here, check it very closely before consumption. read more

Great food! Friendly service. The place is typically busy most of the time -- I recommend ordering ahead.

Best place to eat in Ewing IMO. I highly recommend the grilled chicken parm dinner but you really can't go wrong no matter what you order.

Pizza is great. A little slow on delivery but otherwise great pizza. I'm a minority I've never had a problem with the service. I hate writing reviews but I saw another one saying they had a problem with minorities. I've been ordering her for years never had a problem. read more

I ordered food they told me 45 min. And never showed up. Then when I called they kept playing music in my ear and would pick up occasionally and say they were done for the night then quickly put music back on. My initial call was at 6 pm and if they had told me they were done delivering I could have ordered from someone else on New Year's Eve. I am done with their poor customer relations. They sounded like they were having a party in the background. read more

I always loved their grilled chicken salad. Today I opted for the grilled shrimp salad and OMGEEE it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING read more

Been going to Pizza City since I was a kid!! Always enjoyed their pizza! I love the grilled chicken salad it's so good and filling. I love the different gourmet pizzas they have...my all time favorites are the Chicken, Broccoli and Ranch and mostly recently The Margaret pizza which is topped with mozzarella, ricotta, basil and crushed plum tomatoes!! It's super good!! There's always something good to get there. read more

Good - very friendly on the phone and prompt delivery service. Bad - Pizza is way below average. Doughy and and very little sauce. As close to tasteless as you can get. Have to do better than that in Jersey. read more

Will not deliver to black people. Will block the numbers of black callers. They are extremely rude and unprofessional. The pizza is garbage and the restaurant is dated and dirty. Will never support a racist business. Shaking my head read more

Man, this is my favorite delivery pizza. I wouldn't call it gourmet. It is greasy, standard sized, but.. Theres something about how they cook it, or maybe it's the cheese? Whatever the secret sauce is that makes this pizza "special" really does the trick. I'm also a fan of their wings! So many wing spots overbread the heck out of their wings bit special city has em just right! Try their plain pie though, you'll love that cheese! read more

I love the food that Pizza City has to offer however, a recent encounter while ordering food has left a sour taste in my mouth. We ordered from work on a Saturday night and the guy taking the order was incredibly rude and I really don't know why. I called, said I would like to make and order for delivery, gave the address and started ordering (for about 4 people). I could hear his sighs through the phone and he snapped at me when I thought I heard him say French dressing instead of ranch and just wanted to clarify the correct order) He also asked for the phone number, which I gave him and then asked for an extension. I told him there was no extension, then he asked again what the extension was, I said again that there was no extension, and when he asked for the third time I told him I didn't understand what he was trying to ask me. He responded almost yelling "An extension!!!!! The part of the work you are in!!!!" I've never heard a unit referred to as that before so sorry if I didn't understand what you were trying to say, no need to be snappy and rude about it. Had it not been for the other people ordering, I would've hung up and ordered somewhere else. Definitely definitely won't be ordering from there again anytime soon. read more

This is probably my favorite lunch spot in the Trenton/Ewing Area. They're timely and when i call my food i always prepared and ready.

Special Pizza City is truly the greatest lunch spot in the area. I eat here at least once a week. Slices and delivery are both great, however sometimes the delivery drivers are extremely busy. The employees make an effort to be friendly especially if you come in often. My favorite slice is the white with garlic, but everything is good. read more

Awesome food and very fresh. Been going here since I was a toddler and never a doubt where to go when I want pizza.

The best thing here is the chicken salads (very large portions)and cheese fries,service is hit or miss somedays you'll get a nice person other days there rude,prompt with orders pretty fast if you call ahead,lunch time forget about it it's usually jammed pack,make sure they don't jip you because they will short change you or forget something.the pizza is bland definitely not the best in pizza but salads absolutely!!! read more

They are always busy so don't wait to the last minute to order. That should tell you something right there! On Friday afternoons when ordering at work, we have to call over an hour in advance sometimes. But it's always delicious, always hot & fresh. They never skimp on any of the toppings either! Ordered delivery last night to my house and the driver was courteous and called ahead to make sure where my building was. I have never dined in with them, but have picked up a few times when delivery wait was longer than I wanted to wait. They have your name and number saved in the computer too so the guy would always ask me if I was at home or work address which is a nice touch for a business in Trenton. read more

I have not tried their pizza, however I ordered a sub during lunch time and I wasn't crazy about it. The turkey they use, it's the slimy kind, they forgot to put the cheese in my sub, although I doubled checked with him if they carried provolone. Not worth arguing about because it's so cheap, I just won't come back. Some of the staff taking orders have an attitude as they just stare and appear to be very stressed out. read more

I actually love this place. Great variety of different types of toppings on pizza. My favorite is the chicken broccoli and ranch. Very good. Good prices. Have had salads and sandwiches. Recently had their daily special. It was a chicken gyro on pita with lettuce tomato and taziki sauce. With fries and a drink for $7. It was awesome but I couldn't finish it all ....portions are huge. Highly recommend. Place gets packed .....now I know why. Check em out read more

Top pizza in this town! Highly recommend the buffalo chicken pizza. Very friendly staff and clean restaurant.

While they have a decent variety of specialty pizzas, the quality of those pizzas differs from week to week. Take their taco topping pizza for example. One week it'll be perfect, firm crispy crust holding the ground beef, cheese, tomato, and lettuce topping without spilling. The next week the taco pizza would be so soggy that the toppings and juice mixed in fall and drip onto the paper plate and you're left with a slice of pizza with barely any taco toppings. Another week you would have a taco pizza with what tastes like hot sauce or something near the crust, hard to tell. read more
