P J's Grill & Pizza — Restaurant in New Brunswick

PJ's Grill is located on Easton Avenue in the epicenter of the Rutgers night-life. Sitting between College Avenue Campus and a large population of off-campus housing, this pizzeria is one of the most popular in the Rutgers are. I've had many friends express their opinions to me that PJ's Grill is among the best pizza in New Brunswick. There is more room for seating than most pizzerias in the area and there is usually a large selection to choose from when deciding on a slice to eat. While the establishment lacks in parking, there is some available on Easton Avenue and the nearby streets, though most of the customers are within walking distance to their house.

Despite the praises by many, the pizza is pretty average. The plain slice is fairly decent with fresh cheese and good quality sauce. The crust is fluffy but not overly flavorful. The slice is on the greasier side, but not overly so. The chicken, bacon ranch and the buffalo chicken slices, some of the trending and popular picks among college students were both satisfactory. It is my personal opinion that Pizza City does a better Chicken, Bacon Ranch slice as PJ's wen't a little crazy with the ranch dressing. The ratio ended up being a bit off and the chicken wasn't as good as Pizza City's. The Buffalo Chicken, one of the most popular slices was adequate in my opinion, but didn't really stand out as deserving of so much praise. The buffalo sauce seemed old or stale and the chicken didn't have much flavor. Don't get me wrong, PJ's is a solid pick compared to some of the other options along Easton Avenue, but not the number one in my personal opinion. Final thoughts: an average pizzeria serving...

Extremely rude inappropriate and out of line behavior. I ordered twice prior to today Baked Ziti with a meat sauce. The person that answered the phone tells me that they don't have that on the menu. They put me on hold twice to ask, What's the need to put me on hold for. They get back on the phone telling me they can make it with meatballs. Oookaaayyyy idc, I tell him to make it I'll trust it SINCE I'VE HAD TWICE FROM THERE BEFORE. There was no reason to question my order as if it were some weird combination of unknown origin. The "Chef" gets on the phone getting loud indignant and rude telling I'm lying about having baked ziti with meatsauce their twice. Why would I lie about that! Why become inappropriately difficult combative over something that simple. Make it however you like and I'll pay for it the same way I did twice before this day! No one has any reasoning skills or independent thought process. You're standing in a kitchen with sauce, meat, cheese. Take the order and that's it, Not...

It’s okay, I guess. I had a slice of white pizza with ricotta, and my wife had a slice of pepperoni. The service was passable, the guys behind the bar didn’t speak audibly, so there was an awkward pause after I asked for two slices and a bottle of water (no fountain). He may have asked something or he may have just been waiting for me to ask something. I dunno—it was awkward.

Anyway, it was okay. The crust was good, the bottom was crispy. I was happy the pepperoni, which was dab-it-with-a-napkin greasy as it should be, still had a good dry and crispy bottom. My white pizza was fine. The ricotta was great but the rest of the regular, I’m not sure what kind it was, cheese was bland. That worked okay with flavorful pepperoni and sauce but not on the white...
