Regular pie was so salty, which means canned sauce, low quality cheese. The regular pie was orange which always means oily and salty. So salty. Crust was average/ not bad, could use more rise.
Now the Sicilian Pie... I can't believe that they sell this disaster. I would be embarrassed if I was the owner. I mean this sincerely. The dough was absolutely 'PAR BAKED' which is a pre cooked crust and joes then adds the sauce and cheese when and order is placed and its thrown back into the oven a second time... If the owner reads this, you know this is true and yes some people can tell what you are doing here. The sauce and cheese was just sitting in chunks on top of that dry, thick, dry, bready 'crust' with no oil. The dense bread 'crust' had no semblance of cornicione, no air bubbles just a brick of heavy dense bread. The bread was so dense and bready simular to a Cinnabon or Wonderbread.
I hope that someone from Joe's reads this and they can improve. Especially with Lombardi right...

This underrated pizzeria offers a spectacular pie for it's price, that you just can't eat one. 2 people can easily finish a single pie, and it goes down easy. Fresh slices are crisp, light, sauce has a good tang, and the cheese is a decent quality complementing the sauce. The owner is personable and lastly, "Hero's eat here." Nothing fancy. It's a good reflection of what a solid central jersey pizza is ( a standard of what a slice should be like in this region) and something that u'll crave. I RECOMMEND,...
Read moreI came into Joe’s with my stepdad while visiting from Denver. I met the owners there while I placed an order and waited for a large pie...they were such nice and pleasant people and you could feel the pride they had for their food - then came the masterpiece of a large plain pie (which is how I measure pizza places). I’ve got to say that when I envision phenomenal NJ pizza in my mind, it tastes like Joe’s. It couldn’t have been more delicious and it was also perfectly cooked. I plan on moving back to Jersey within the next 6 months and I can assure you that the pizza I’m coming for is Joe’s. Thanks for serving such...
