I lived in NYC for more than 30 years. NYC claims to have the best pizza in the world; not true-in the quiet, New Jersey town of Edgewater (which hugs the Hudson River) sits a family owned pizzeria and coffee house named Urban Tomato. I honestly must say that Urban Tomato has the best pizza ever! If you want to eat healthily, it serves up a crisp cauliflower gluten free pizza, or if you are a glutton for the standard pie dough - you can have that too. No matter which you choose , you will be greatly satisfied. The in store service is terrfic, the staff (usually the owner) talks to you and he often makes your pizza too. Delivery service is terrific and quick and your order arrives hot. Most importantly Urban Tomato uses top quality and uber fresh ingredients. Nope, I am not paid to write this review, I am enthusiastic because I recognize and want to support a local merchant who delivers an amazingly good product at a fair price. Order the pizza, you won't be disappointed. read more

I had the Special Pizza of the day and my son had the Barbecue Chicken and Chicken Parmesan. All were delicious with a crispy crust. Ordered the Brussel Sprouts to go with but they were out, so got the Broccolini instead. Nice garlic and olive oil flavor. Americano coffee was solid but they didn't have brewed iced tea - canned sweet tea only. Overall, good place to stop for a quick slice of pizza. read more

The pizza in Urban Tomato is probably one of my favorite! Thin crust, great sauce, awesome pizza. The Kale Salad is fabulous. My only suggestion is I like to eat at the restaurant. The lights are so bright and dining area is not that welcoming. Even just changing the lighting can make dining a better experience. But l'm a fan! read more

Very kind people who serve fantastic pizza in a clean and spacious pizza parlor--I get CT pizza vibes and everyone knows CT pizza is the best ;) Last visit I tried the vodka chicken parm, WOW. Best sandwich I've had and I've been to sandwichitos down the street many many MANY times. It was beautifully presented too and enough to split with someone. I also loved their Brooklyn Best canned iced tea made with black tea and cane sugar, not too sweet...perfect!! I immediately noticed the bread tasted like pizza dough, so pillowy and soft. I think that elevates the already great sandwich topped with burrata and grated chz. On my way out I asked and they confirmed it is, isn't that cool? They were so happy to hear I enjoyed my meal. Cutie patooties. Definitely worth a visit. I like the separate room to dine in, the staff check in occasionally to make sure you're enjoying your meal and to wipe down tables. read more

Tucked away in a quirky shopping area, you'll find great pizza that I always seem to forget about. One thing to remember is their Vodka Chicken Parm Sandwich. This new menu item is spreading like wildfire on numerous social platforms. So much so, that we went out on a Saturday afternoon to avoid FOMO. I gotta say this unique and imaginative take on an old stand-by, makes it one of the best Chicken Parms we've ever had. The homemade bread, stracciatella cheese and vodka sauce really puts it over the top. The fact that they slice the chicken cutlet up, rather than placing the whole breast on the sandwich is a game changer. We'll be back. But next time we'll get 2, (one per person), rather than sharing. read more

I think I had higher expectations for the viral vodka chicken parm sandwich. The bread was basic. I hoped for more sauce and maybe even more cheese. Most of all, I expected it to be one solid breaded chicken parm and not pieces of cut up chicken :( read more

I really enjoyed the personal pizzas at Urban Tomato. They came out hot and fresh, with a nice crust. I had the margarita pizza with pepperoni. The pizza tasted great with the fresh basil. The gluten-free buffalo chicken pizza was also good. I thought the cauliflower crust tasted nice and had a good texture. Our server was very nice and helpful. The restaurant itself is casual and has lots of natural light. read more

We came in today for a quick slice. Sat outside and the lovely employees brought us extra ice water. It may seem like such a small gesture - but we were already done paying, simply sitting outside and finishing up our slice and the employee's thoughtfulness just made me like this place even more And the slice was crispy and perfect. read more

We ordered a cheese pie and side of meatballs to go. Meatballs were excellent. Pie was very good but could have used more cheese and sauce to boost the flavor. Order was ready on time. read more

Superb! The crunch and crispness of the crust should be telling enough.

The staff is amazing and so very courteous - always checking your make sure you have everything you need! read more

Three stars for the effort. Unfortunately one of the meatballs tasted different from the other in my pasta dish. Meaning it lacked any flavor compared to the other. The meal was also overpriced for what you pay for. In terms of quality and taste. $40 for the pictures below. $24 for a whopping two meatballs with pasta. read more

So my partner goes here almost every day and loves his garlic and onion cheese pizza. First, I need to go back to try their sandwiches because when I saw it brought out to another table, they looked phenomenal and the smell was a tease. My favorite dish so far has been when we ordered to half chicken parm pizza and half veggie. The flavors were on point, crisp was delightful and always a bonus to restaurants that use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Fresh ingredients matter and it seems like they use them in all their dishes. I also ordered the Brussels sprouts appetizer which was a bit disappointing for the texture and flavor wise but that is just my personal opinion. The dining area is small but very clean, cute and a good local spot! read more

Urban Tomato-Edgewater - a pizza on a pizza pan - Pizza Near Me - Edgewater, New Jersey

Best pizza in town!!! Today I can add that they have excellent customer service(I called for a pizza and was told that it would take 30 minutes so I agreed otherwise I would've picked it up. I'm right across the street.) however it took them an over an hour, I called several times.... Sure I was a nuisance... but I had my two grandkids, three and five and they were hungry after a couple of hours at the pool... the pizza was delivered by the owner with an apology free of charge !!!! and that's how you keep customers coming back !!! KUDOS to Urban Tomato Edgewater read more

This is a great place to have around! First for The Good: All their food I've had is great Staff & Management are friendly and very customer focused For me, they have the best cheese slice anywhere around and definitely anywhere nearby River Rd Their specialty slices are all nice well-executed changes of pace. I would point to the artichoke slice and to the mushroom truffle slice as two of my favorites The place is always clean as a whistle High quality napkins!...the mark of a class operation Clearly the owner takes pride in the place And now for The Bad. Full disclosure...I've really had to dig for these. However, we should always aim for balance in reviews, and so: 1. The container for the red pepper flakes is just small enough to where the flakes must be dispensed from the "open" side of the shaker top, potentially (often) leading to an inordinate amount being delivered to the target pizza slice. A careful, steady hand is required 2. The sausage they use for the pizza is the crumbled type. While I like (prefer) this form of sausage, it is pilled up a bit (thank you) allowing for the real possibility (often occurrence) that the crumbles (noticeably round in shape) simply roll off the slice. There is unfortunately (thankfully) nothing gluing them down. This could (does) call for a multi-step process in which a conscious effort is made to aim the falling pieces onto the paper plate with the plate subsequently being emptied back onto the remainder of the slice...a step that may need repeating Please note that all nearby parking is paid, so you'll need to feed the meter, albeit a modest 25 cents/half hour So go! Enjoy the pizza, pasta, sandwiches and salads! ...but beware the red pepper shaker and the sausage crumbles (if applicable) read more

Oh my gosh, the spicy honey pizza was life changing. The combo of cheese, sweetness, and spice was out of this world. Thankful to have a new favorite pizza spot! read more

One of the most tasteless, bland pies around -no amount of garlic and pepper flakes could enhance the flavor Ran for a Covid test because I thought I lost my sense of taste But thank God I was negative and was reassured by a bag of the spiciest chips I could find I give it 1 barf bag for poor quality ingredients read more

I'm so happy that Urban Tomato opened another shop in Edgewater. I have gone to the Palisade Park location and loved their pizza. I got the fungi / truffle slice, as well as a Margarita slice with pepperoni. The crust is perfectly charred and the dough light. My favorite is the fungi / truffle, which is saying a lot bc I am a pepperoni fan. The proprietor and staff were very nice. Parking can be a little challenging on this small road but I see people double parked for curbside pick up, which is pretty convenient. read more

What better way to start binging on Chef's Table: PIZZA than by eating pizza while watching pizza.!?.!? We decided to order from urban tomato, for the second time, this being the second chance. We ordered a 1/2 pepperoni 1/2 cheese pizza as well as their vegetarian pizza without cheese. Additionally, we ordered the truffle fries, also with no cheese, and the spicy honey chicken. My primary complaint is that both times the food arrived at room temperature. That could've been a delivery service issue and not the pizzeria's fault but unfortunately, cold fries are never good. Sadly, neither is whatever product they use for their truffle flavoring. It is a product that has a harsh chemical flavor. The cheese pizza was perfect, but the pepperoni is a very oily and oversalted pepperoni that covers the whole area. As for the vegetarian pizza, I enjoyed it but wish they would be a little more generous with the vegetables (see photo), considering it is a $24 pizza with no protein on it. Overall, I think they should invest in better quality raw material but they are off to a great start and16 Margarita Pizza headed in a good direction read more

I posted the other day that Rasco's is by far unequivocally, the best stand alone pizza place in Edgewater, and after ordering and just eating the chicken Parm hero at urban tomato, I can unequivocally say that there is no competition It's Super Bowl Sunday in Rasco's is closed. They are never open on Sundays so I went to urban tomato and ordered the chicken farm and brought it back to my apartment. It certainly is massive. I only ate one half but the bread was soggy. The chicken Parm and the sauce had absolutely no taste. Honestly, the only reason I ate it and didn't throw it in the garbage was I was really hungry I don't know how their pizza is, but I am not gonna bother to try I mean no ill will by posting this review, and I have eaten chicken Parm in dozens and dozens of places and I would probably say this is one of the worst read more

I previously wrote a review on this wonderful place . I recently had a vegi slice ( a great variety of fresh vegetables and seasoned to perfection )and tried a margarita slice . Normally I'm more of a traditional pizza guy . I was blown away by both ! As usual AK who runs the shop is a true pizza man and all around great guy . Always makes U feel like family . Ultra clean place and BYOB ! As I've mentioned before I'm crazy about the meatballs . Very tender and mouthwatering . I've had the eggplant panini and is very often my go to for takeout . My wife loves the burgers . She says one of the best around ..... Go to Urban Tomato and enjoy ! You'll be glad U did ! read more

We visited Urban Tomato when we were in town last summer and decided to return. Our food once again was good. Our pizza was hot, tasty, and was out in no time. The restaurant is small, quaint, and clean. The staff is friendly and came out to check on my party to ensure we did not need anything. Highly recommend and we will be back! read more

Urban is the best around. Great food. Great vibes. Great people. Both locations are consistent.
