One World Pizza — Restaurant in Jersey City

We went here with our friends who have been here before. It’s an intimate 4 seat counter where you pay $50 a person in advance on a reservation.

It’s a chefs counter experience. It looks like a whole in the wall take out place for pizza. The atmosphere and ambiance is nothing special.

The service is impeccable though, I felt instantly welcomed. It’s very cool to watch the chefs make all the different pizzas. It’s a timed 1 hour experience and they really keep to the time. They ask you if you have any allergies but other than that you don’t get to choose anything, they serve you what they want.

$50 a person to share two salads, 4 large pizzas plus each person gets their own desert is a great deal. Unfortunately the owner said he is going to raise the price to $100 a person but have pizzas with fancy ingredients like lobster, scallops, lamb shank, wagyu and caviar.

It’s an intimate experience but it kept getting interrupted by people coming in for take out orders. Also if you go by yourself or as a couple the other seats can be randos, and then you share the food with them.

The food itself is pretty good. I liked the Caesar salad a lot. I think the dressing has anchovies in it which I like.

My favorite pizza was the mushroom one, which we got lucky on because he had fresh truffle and sliced a lot on top of the pizza. It was amazing.

My friend likes the bulgogi a lot. Lots of interesting and unique flavors on a pizza done very well. I prefer the more classic flavors so I think that’s also why I like the truffle pizza the best. Also the desert was delicious, I inhaled it. Amazing little cheesecake. Very light and fluffy.

Next door is a cocktail bar owned by the same person. You can bring the food there and eat. Amazing cocktails. We went on a special Negroni night and had a chocolate Negroni for only $12. Normally the drinks are $16 or $17. It was the best Negroni I ever had. So smooth, not too strong and I tasted the chocolate and it had a big juicy orange in the center.

Lovely establishments kinda off the beaten path. Make your way out though you won’t be...

We waited over 30min for 3 x 6 inch pizzas, there were no absolutely customers but us😳.

The restaurant was still under renovation. We had to ask if it was open. They told us to go to next door bar which was equipped with overwhelmingly generous number of electric outlets under the wooden bench - they were a lot.⚡️⚡️

The same staff from Alyce Cafe next door is running the pizza place. I’m sorry to say, they totally missed it. Dough is not impressive, only worth the money is $8 6” cheese pizza maybe. Mushroom pizza was not good. There was caramelized sweet onion messing up the pizza big time. It was better off not there or anchovy or prosciutto instead def something NOT sweet. Salmon - cured pizza missed the mark it too. They use the same cured salmon from cafe Alyce menu I used to order. Not impressed either, topped with cheep red tobiko type of eggs or some artificial things.

Overhyped by bottom feeder influencer ads and I’m super glad I didn’t go for the $50 per person “chefs table” experience In the unfinished renovation room with 4 stools.

Showing the process of production gets to over charge an ordinary food but mediocre super market pita dough is not gonna fly.

What type of 5 slices of pizza experience at under developed upcoming block with unelevated atmosphere is justified to charge $50 per person. It feels like a Jersey City parking ticket. I’m glad my boyfriend paid 😮‍💨 the video or pics looks deceivingly good though don’t be misled. The don’t taste as good as it looks just like Paris...

TL;DR - don’t sleep on this. Get reservations while you can, this is a very special experience and seats will go fast.

Enjoyed a very luxe pizza experience last night at One World Pizza! It started with a delicious and beautiful amuse bouche seared tuna bite. They then served us a delightful salad with root vegetables in a light dressing. Loved that! Next we were presented with a truly special tartufatta with REAL truffle slices on top. So fancy! We also tried the North African lamb shank pizza that comes with little toppings you can add yourself, to your liking. The lamb is SO tender and spiced to perfection. This was my husband’s favorite. In a dinner full of show stoppers, the A5 Wagyu carpaccio pizza was absolutely incredible. The beef is sliced super thin, so it kind of melts. Really enjoyable! Next we had a surprising seafood pizza- fresh scallops, shrimp, and smoky bonito flakes on top. I’m not a fish-loving person but this was truly special and I went back for second…and third slices. After so much pizza, the dessert included in the meal felt like too much to enjoy right away so the chefs packed it up with our leftovers to take home and enjoy later.

All said, this was SO much fun and great value for money. I’m already planning to go again with some friends from out of town....
