My husband and I randomly stepped in here in search of a quick dinner, and walked away pretty happy. We ordered two slices - mushroom and sausage - along with a grilled chicken Caesar salad - and were not disappointed. The slices here might not be the best or the largest, but there's an appreciable crisp acquired on the crust from the oven. We're a big fan of mushrooms, so we also loved how heavily they laid the mushrooms on those slices. Surprisingly, the salad was the star of our table spread.

Miss this place a lot, even the lovely owners, and I stop in every trip back to get a slice that I eat straight away—because it’s the only way. Gonna have to plan another trip. Perfecto pizza. Probably can only get better in...
Read moreThe best pizza in NJ and dare I say the NYC area. Always fresh and delicious; incredible crust. I used to body a plain, buffalo chicken, and penne slice combo. Most importantly Umberto and Patrizia are the kindest, warmest people in the world. I have many fond childhood memories of visiting John's Boys with my family and make a point to go there whenever I'm back in the area. I also treasure my red & green John's...
