Great little find in downtown Princeton.
Was meandering the streets looking for a solid dinner spot that could appeal to our group and pizza always wins out when there are multiple opinions haha.
This place is nestled between a bunch of different eateries gathering plenty of foot traffic. The parking situation is a bit sparse, but if you go down a block or two, you'll be able to grab a spot without much issue - there are paid and free spots around. I grabbed a free spot and took the short walk over.
We hit the dinner rush, as it was pretty busy inside, but not raucous. We grabbed a paper menu and perused by the big window before walking up and placing our order. The place is long more than it's wide, with self table seating up front and the ordering in the rear. The process is pretty simple, ordering at the counter with any of the attendants (they use the Square technology and an iPad to ring you out, so there isn't a formal register to queue through), and then one of the servers will deliver to your table.
I liked all the veggie friendly options on their menu. There are a variety of pizza crusts to choose from - appealing towards many dietary needs, and even salad options (but like why? haha.) The menu was expansive with the recipes already available, but if nothing looks just right, there is a make your own option for pizza.
We chose the Veggie #9 and Veggie #13 for our group and just family styled the experience. Impressed with the flavor packed into the thin crust. I enjoyed my slices without feeling overwhelmed, and even had leftovers for later!
The restaurant does have the standard pizza toppings to add at your leisure (black pepper, red crush pepper, oregano, etc.) - but honestly didn't feel the need given the flavor packed crust and toppings on our pizza choices. The use of fresh ingredients is apparent and I could tell the place likes to play with flavors and ingredients to deliver quality.
The workers were nice and quick with our order and were able to answer our questions thoroughly. I also liked that they were quick with bussing tables so can keep the flow of traffic moving.
Enjoyed my experience and will be happy to...
Read moreA small pizza chain in the Philadelphia/Del Valley metro area specializing in organic pizzas & salads all locally sourced, and as the name implies, all done on a thin crust (not like traditional pizza), it’s a perfect fit for those who want “more for less”. I’ve been to this Jules Thin Crust pizza location a handful of times, and also in Wayne, PA as well as Cherry Hill, NJ. This location is featured on Witherspoon St, home to most of Princeton’s prominent independent/smalltime eateries within walking distance, and hosting a few small chains. Delivery can be possible if you’re in the town. Inside, there’s spacious seating & tables, a gallery of most of their pizzas, and menus for their pizzas (either fixed recipes or custom DIYs), salads. Sweets/desserts would be cookies and brownies, pre-packaged.
Menu can be pizzas, divided into meat or vegetarian options (includes cheese/plain, but vegan options are available upon request). Pricing is modest for what it’s worth, and pizzas can either be done: by slice (from what you see), mini (4 slices in a square formation), medium (2 minis / 8 slices), or large (3 minis / 12 slices), and for those with gluten intolerance, there’s also GF crust for the aforementioned options. Pizzas would take no more than 10 minutes to finish, and service is almost instant if you order slices inside or pre-order online/by phone.
My opinion, I only seldom go here since it’s way too far from my general area in North NJ (this is the “closest” location to me at 50mi), and would go here in Princeton for affordable eats w/o splurge. Usually I would order vegetarian friendly pizzas (like the Mediterranean) or just a simple vegan pizza (or a plain tomato/marinara pie). All are done in a prompt fashion, and flavor excels some indie pizza shops in the area too! Wish they would come up in NJ, but hey, that time would come.
In conclusion, it’s a good place for locals, university students, and tourists to get organic pizza with an inventive menu, and explore new foods. Princeton’s dining scene is constantly improving over the years, and Jules Thin Crust seems to be a good addition. Hope to visit...
Read moreJules Thin Crust Pizza at Witherspoon Princeton is a delightful culinary gem! Our group, comprised 90% of vegetarians, sampled an array of their unique offerings: Mexican Veg, Greek, Nashville Chicken, and Street Corn Pizzas. Each variety was a masterpiece of flavor. The Mexican Veg boasted a vibrant mix of fresh vegetables and zesty spices, while the Greek pizza tantalized our taste buds with its perfect blend of olives, feta, and tomatoes. The Street Corn pizza provided a delightful twist on a classic favorite, bursting with the rich flavors of roasted corn, cilantro, and a hint of lime.
The few who tried the Nashville Chicken pizza were pleasantly surprised by its deliciously spicy kick balanced by a sweet glaze. Interestingly, they loved the vegetarian options just as much as the chicken pizza, showcasing the universal appeal of Jules' creations. One medium pizza, priced affordably at just $19-$20, is more than enough to satisfy 2-3 people, making it a great value. We even had leftovers, a testament to their generous portions. The thin crust was perfectly crispy and held up well under the generous toppings, adding to the overall delightful experience. The ambiance of the Witherspoon Princeton location was inviting and perfect for a casual meal with friends or family. Overall, Jules Thin Crust Pizza delivers an exceptional dining experience with their innovative and delicious pizzas. Highly...
