Victor's Pizzeria — Restaurant in Hillsborough Township

Victor's pizzeria is my favorite local pizzeria to stop and grab a slice. The owner, Danny, is a really cool dude and very friendly. The pizzeria is located in a shopping mall along Amwell Road, right after crossing over Route 206. This central location puts Victors in the center of town to compete against the other 5 pizzerias within a 10 minute walk: Alfonsos, Angelos, Pizza Hut, Dominoes, and Roman Gourmet. On of the advantages of the location for Victor's is the proximity to the High School and the Park & Ride. This is the closest pizzeria to the High School and right next to an area where students park their cars, so the student crowd will often stop in and grab one of the massive to-go slices. I have fond memories of grabbing a slice after school and then going to the martial arts school I work at for an evening of teaching. The pizzeria is small and cozy, but has enough seating to pull some tables together for a larger group. The long window on the side by the counter-top seating allows a good amount of light inside and also lets someone eating at the counter to see the going-ons outside. There is a beautiful painted mural along the inside wall of the pizzeria that depicts a scene at a local square in some Mediterranean town where there are children playing soccer, boats in the harbor, and hot pizza being served to happy guests. Often I will look at the mural as I eat and imagine myself in that setting. It's quite peaceful.

The pizza itself is enormous. One of the to-go slices is practically the size of two normal slices. If you enjoy pepperoni, they're quite liberal with the amount they pile onto the slice, so I recommend getting that. The slice is usually pretty greasy and often molten hot coming out of the oven. I like to eat some of the crust to allow some airflow in the slice to cool it down. I also fold the slice "hot dog style" and tilt it to drain some of the grease. The cheese is always fresh and always delicious. The sauce is tasty and rich. The crust is thicker than most slices and very fluffly. Overall, I highly recommend Victor's to anyone looking to grab a quick and hearty bite to eat in Hillsborough. The slices are delicious and...

After all the positive reviews we decided to give it a try and unfortunately was a miss for us. The inside is beautiful and the service was kind and efficient so no complaints there. We had the mozzarella sticks, a chicken parm sandwich, a Caesar salad and an order of grilled chicken Alfredo entree. Not sure if it was a bad night or what, but the red sauce lacked flavor so the chicken parm was just meh, though the bread was yummy and the portion size was fair. The mozzarella sticks were a pass, not fried hard enough for our preference, but if you prefer softer “bread crumb” like breading, it may be good. Caesar salad was a nice size but the dressing was nothing like any Caesar dressing I’ve had before. It was more sweet, maybe a yogurt base or something. Was not a fan. The Alfredo was actually just bad, there is no justification. The sauce was bland, the noodles were overcooked and mushing together. Far overpriced for true mediocrity. The chicken on top however was very good, so maybe that is the pro. All in all, a miss for us and for $60 truly...

We thought the pie at Victor's was excellent. The slices are large, but, more importantly, the ingredients are excellent. We ordered a large sausage and mushroom for take-out, and it had lots of sausage: the sign that Victor's puts the quality of the product ahead of skimping on ingredients. The crust was nice and crispy, but folds easily for eating. We had take-out: even the box provided was better quality than most of the take-out boxes we see. There is a pleasant if not sparse dining area, which is pleasant for conversations. Service is good, prices are very good, Victor's has a nice, clean facility. Parking, even on a busy Friday night, was excellent. We'll be back to try some of the more interesting items...
