Unassuming pizza place in downtown Lawrenceville but surpringly makes a mean slice! Got the Margherita pizza and I would go back for this

I have ordered pizza from TJ's almost every Friday for years. Great NJ/NY style pizza. Usually good delivery. Friendly guys who will make everything right if something ever does go wrong. I like pepperoni or pepperoni and sausage. They also make good paninis and other stuff! George read more

So yummy. The stromboli was crisp and very cheesy! Onions beautiful. Was a bit greasy... oil going everywhere. But flavor was 10/10 read more

The good: The food is exactly what you should expect for a small pizzeria. Nothing fancy, nothing special but solid local pizzeria faire. Additionally the service was quick and friendly. The employees who work here are definitely helpful and doing their best behind the counter The bad: it's been said but it merits mentioning again, the dining room is dirty, disorganized and needs a clean. The guys behind the counter do their best back there but someone needs to come out regularly to turn over tables and sweep at the very least. There's more to be said about the cleanliness but it's all been mentioned in other reviews. The unforgivable: at my visit there were two smoke detectors in the restaurant, one in the dining room and one by the back door. Both were chirping indicating they need new batteries. This is unsafe and incredibly annoying if you are trying to eat inside. We moved out to the patio because it drove us nuts instantly. read more

Very bad service all employees are very rude and have no patience would not recommend coming here super overpriced food and food is not cooked well read more

Pretty good food overall very hot when you get it. Love all their sauce choices and I love banana peppers on my pizza read more

Tj’s Pizza - Margarita pizza - Pizza Near Me - Lawrenceville, New Jersey

I'm not a local, I was visiting my husband in Lawrence rehab down the road when I decided to grab a couple of slices for lunch. I used to order pies from them 20+ years ago when my son played ice hockey at Lawrenceville Prep so I knew TJ's was nearby. So glad I went! I've never thought to write a review for slices but Pedro, the general manager, said it would be a big help! So help I will!! I had a sausage slice which had the tastiest, crispiest sausage, and a margarita slice as well. Holy cow the margarita was amazing! The tomatoes were juicy and tasty, the mozzarella was fresh and the julienned basil was plentiful! I'm sure TJ's gets lots of business from the school across the street, but if you're in the area of 206 in Lawrenceville stop by; you'll be glad you did! Pedro, did I do ok?? read more

Ordered ~75 pizzas in the last ~3 years. Every pizza box reads 'buy 10 get 1 free' ....now TJ's is refusing to honor their promotion. Says a lot. "We don't do that anymore" You're "welcome' for my business. read more

Best Brooklyn pie in the area, hands down. Aside from that, our other go-to's are the TJ's supreme salad and their curly fries. I can't speak for the rest of their menu but it's a good option for take out! read more

Pretty average. The remodel was had really improved it but it's often dirty. Nice workers

Do not patronize this establishment. I have heard the owner speak to his young employees very disrespectfully. How dare the owner treat people so terribly. Not to mention pizza is not that good. Pizza stores are a dime a dozen. I will not line this man's pocket since he has no regard for his employees! I've heard his snarky comments to customers when he thought no one would listen. NEVER EVER patronize! read more

Here's a photo of the onions on the sub we ordered. I called they put me on hold 3 times and then told me no there's no mold on the onions.. there is indeed mold on the onions. read more

Nice little spot to grab lunch. I got the steak and cheese and it was HUGE!!!!! Plenty for 2 people. Clean and nice service. Would definitely go back. read more

A solid NJ pizza place for the kind of pizza us old New Yorkers. Shout out to Giovanni who delivers my Friday pizza and a movie night with a hot pizza and a kind word. read more

We must not know how to order pizza here, or the ovens were off today. I had had a Brooklyn pie from TJ's at a friend's house, and it was pretty good. Today I took my family to try it. We started with meatballs & a salad. The meatballs were in a mild--but not sweet, thankfully--sauce, but room temperature. There was flavour and a good texture, but nothing special. The salad was made a few days ago, with dried out and sour disks of carrot & radish, and bell peppers we wouldn't touch. The balsamic in the vinaigrette was good, but the soybean oil not. The pizza, like the meatballs, wasn't hot enough after waiting for it for 20 minutes. The fresh mozzarella not melted enough--they picked off of the pizza easily. The dough was too thick, though the edges were good. Fresh basil, dried oregano, grated Parmesan, and a drizzle of olive oil--it was decent, but not mind blowing. I miss Nino's in Bay Ridge. We will give this basic, no frills pizza joint another chance; it may be that we have to ask for the pizza to be extra thin and crispy, or as Conte's corrects us, "well done". $30 for a pizza, salad, meatballs, and water, including tip. read more

This is a nice little local pizza place, it isn't somewhere you dream about but it is definitely good for a slice and lunch. If anyone is going to a local pizzeria thinking, what kind of foodie option will there be... you be crazy. Don't expect a caviar arugula topping with organic farm made feta and you'll be perfectly happy with there home town slice of pepperoni pizza! read more

I grew up near this place. I now live in California. Sometimes I wish this place was still near me. Love their selection of slices. Everything they make is delicious, from their eggplant parm to their amazing fries to their kick ass subs. Cant go wrong here. read more

*****WARNING: FILTHY FACILITY***** As I was pouring myself soda from the fountain I noticed slime on the bottom pan. This was a first, covered in slime. I started looking more carefully and discovered a disgusting soda machine with black mold crawling into the machine. I poured myself a soda anyway. One taste was enough to tell it was horrible. I got a 20oz from the fridge instead. I can't imagine what the machine looked like on the inside. I bet it hasn't been cleaned in years. It's pretty egregious when a soda machine is so dirty the soda tastes bad. Imagine the filth inside. After the first red flag of the filthy, disgusting, soda machine, I looked over the place with scrutiny. It's old, dirty, and my evaluation of the staff is that they do not know how to maintain a clean environment. I feel bad giving such a low rating, because its a small business, but the public needs to be made aware. You are serving food in a dangerous environment. We had ordered food already so we ate. My friend ordered a chicken wrap. He paid $10, and the wrap was super small, not a good value at all. After eating his wrap, he was feeling very sick and nauseous. I ordered a slice of buffalo chicken pizza and a sicilian slice. The chicken tasted very old and dry. The definitely used left over old chicken for the buffalo chicken slice. The sicilian was really good, but how can I give a restaurant a good rating when their facility is not clean? I can't. read more

TJs Pizzeria and Pasta has always held a special place in my heart. From the fat milf to the quality salad selections to the curly fries to the second to none Strombolis, TJs has it all. It is easily my favorite retaurant in the try state area, and I'm not the only one. Famous receiver Theisphilly has also commented on the perfection that is TJs. Whatever they can do to satiate your appetite, however big or small, they will do I love TJs ain't mess wit y'all other pizzerias and such. read more

Came here for a late lunch on the weekend. Ordered the buffalo chicken slice. Had a nice thin crust and a decent amount of chicken and buffalo sauce. It was served quickly and paired nice with the selection of bottle beverages. Great location to come to in downtown read more

We ordered delivery tonight. The pizza was pretty good but came cold. The crust was very burnt. We also ordered buffalo wings but they came without buffalo sauce. The meat was very tough, dry, and flavorless. They also smelled terrible and we just had to throw them away. read more

My compatriots, Neis and Theis, live within a close proximity of this fine establishment, and I have to say, it is what I most look forward to. This exquisite restaurant is essential to the Lawrenceville community and I'm grateful to have experienced the yumminess of a "fat milf". For whomever reads this review, I highly recommend this place as all folk I know love it. read more

I have been going to TJ's for 20+ years and the quality has gone down so much! The food is terrible and under cooked. I think were going to find another pizza place from now on. read more

TJ's has the best and most consistent pizza I've found in the area, which is funny given just how many (crappy) pizza places there are nearby. The curly fries and stromboli are also good. The menu is mystifyingly extensive, but if I was going to order something beyond pizza, subs, or fries, I wouldn't be coming here. Best to avoid dining in if possible, as the other reviews complaining about how run down it looks are spot on. read more

I can never go back to this place. The guy Peter dosen't stop eyeing me up and down. He's married with kids and not good looking at all! What a slime. Something's changed the food. I'm not sure what it is but the food is disgusting. I agree with Mike W. this place needs to have the health department come and close it down! read more

Very good local business with impeccable service. Thanks TJ's, Very Cool! It's making me write a lot for this review but that kinda all i had to say so yeah. It's still making me write i don't know how long this has to be what the heck. read more

Very friendly staff, pretty good pizza, and okay sandwiches. The facility isn't very clean however, partly due to age. Location is convenient & parking behind the building is available. I still would recommend this to friends if looking for a quick bite to eat at night. read more

This place is a dump! Not only is the quality of pizza and garlic knots subpar, but it smells, it's ugly and their bathrooms are rusting and tiny! This is definitely a school kids hangout spot. The garlic knots didn't have the essence of the garlic knot, GARLIC! The pepperoni on our pizza was awful. You're better off going to Palermo's in Ewing or DeLorenzo's in Hamilton/Robbinsville. read more

Taste good and if your feeling hungry and cheap you'll be satisfied. Definitely the place I go to when I want something quick before a long drive home. Slices are big and for a low price. The pizza itself is average but still good. New York style slices with a slight puff to them, if you're a frequent pizza eater. The workers there aren't the conversation bunch but you're in and out without a problem. It's just a simple place overall. read more

I was told not go there cause a lot people's credit card or debit card numbers were charged overseas after being used there, but I didn't listen. Some weeks after I used my Card there, I got a message from my bank, you know the rest of the story! I felt irked that the guy didn't return my card immediately after swiping it. He probably did something behind the machine. And their counter is really high. I have to be on my tippy toes to sign the receipt. And they have cameras all over the places, pointing at the eating area, very odd for a pizza place read more

Good pizza, but the atmosphere is very much a high school hangout. Good for a quick bite though.

The dough for Stromboli didn't seem to be well cooked. And the crust of the pizza we got wasn't crispy at all. read more

Pizza was delicious! I had a slice of buffalo chicken and a slice of tomato, broccoli and ricotta. The only thing I could have asked for would have been blue cheese on the buff chicken. The crust was so crispy and delicious I may call it one of the best I've ever had. Can't wait to return to try more delicious pies. read more

I stop here when ever I work in Lawrenceville. There is no better Brooklyn around. Even down town. I don't know why but it is the best.

This place is amazing. We ordered the Brooklyn pizza. It was fresh with thin crust and delicious. I have found this place to have high quality ingredients. Would absolutely recommend. read more

Picked up some quick slices so review also quick and small ..the pepperoni didn't taste good to me, hence the rating

Under new ownership!! The sauce is much MUCH better now, it tastes more fresh than before, and is no longer this weird sour tomato goop. Had the Brooklyn pie and it was very very good. Would recommend again now that it's under new ownership! read more

i usually kind of like the food at this grimy establishment, but my experience today has driven me off the edge. Not only is the main owner kind of creepy, but when I picked up my food today, THE ORDER WAS WRONG!!! I called them back like the sane person I am and told them what had happened, and when it was all over, THE MAIN OWNER REFUSED TO DELIVER MY RIGHT ORDER TO ME. Very disappointed and will NOT be coming back here again. read more

Definitely a high school hangout for the Lawrenceville School crowd, but it's a good place to get a quick slice for lunch. A slice of plain is $2.00, and can be inconsistent. Speciality slices can get pricey, but the Brooklyn slice is the best in the area: chunky plum tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, just the right amount of chopped basil, and a drizzle of olive oil. No reason to stray. read more

This is the best pizza around! The Brooklyn is better than any I have had anywhere else. The BBQ Chicken and Buffalo Chicken are also excellent. read more
