Literally has always been 5 stars until recently. A little bummed. I’ve always been a huge fan of bobs but the last two times I ordered for delivery I’ve received a pizza that’s undercooked and with so much sauce that I can’t even pick up the slices. Bobs is good because of their really good dough….if this is the new norm I feel I’m paying too much to have soggy undercooked pizza. I hope I just coincidentally got two bad pizzas cause I love bobs crispy crust :(

The workers are always wonderful and seem to genuinely care about the neighborhood. Unfortunately the owners, who don’t even live in the state, by taking away slices, wings, fries, and cookies from the menu, show they don’t care even though many people have opposed this decision. I’d come here at least once a week and have recommended bobs specifically for slices to many people.. I’m not going to buy an entire pizza next time I have a pizza craving. I don’t know how else to get in contact with the owners, I really hope they bring back the menu items that they removed.

The workers here are so amazing and very helpful. They are kind and truly care about the customers. Unfortunately this is not case for the owners. They have removed several highly coveted items from the menu including pizzas by the slice. This was a staple for myself multiple times a weeks after a long day from work, coming off the train and walking over to my favorite pizza joint kiddie corner to my home. This is extremely disappointing as I enjoyed fresh slices, fries, and wings as a quick dinner on days I didn’t want to cook.

Bob’s Pizza is one of those places that immediately makes you feel like you’ve stumbled upon a neighborhood gem. The ambiance is relaxed and inviting, with the smell of bubbling cheese, charred crust, and sizzling toppings drifting through the air the second you walk in. It’s the kind of place that feels both familiar and exciting, like your favorite childhood pizza joint.

We went with the sausage pizza, and honestly, it blew our expectations out of the water. The presentation was simple and classic, but every element was crafted with clear attention to detail. The crust was perfectly thin and crisp along the edges, with just the right amount of chew toward the center. It had that beautiful wood-fired blistering that adds a hint of smokiness with every bite.

The sausage itself was the standout, juicy, slightly spicy, and full of flavor. You could taste the fennel and garlic, and it was crumbled generously across the pizza, ensuring every slice was packed with savory bites. The tomato sauce was bright and tangy, balanced with a slight sweetness that played beautifully against the richness of the sausage. The cheese was gooey and melty, pulling apart in perfect strings, and served piping hot, it melted in your mouth with each bite.

This pizza transported me back to late nights in the city, grabbing slices with friends after a show, comforting, nostalgic, and completely satisfying. For anyone who appreciates a high-quality pizza made with care, Bob’s Pizza is an absolute must-visit. Don’t skip the sausage, it might just become your new favorite.

I am BEGGING on my knees for this location to bring back the slices during lunch PLEEEEASE. I live right across the street from this spot and practically lived off the slices and for some reason they’re gone. BRING THEM BACK NOW and I promise I will update my review with a higher rating.

Bob's Pizza is a legit spot. The pickle pizza is a must-try, creamy garlic base with salty pickles and dill. The crust has a unique beer-infused dough that's soft and foldable. Happy hour is a steal, buy one, get one free. I spent about $35 for a slice and a beer. Service is chill, and the vibe is low-key. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

As a person who does not like pickles I LOVE the pickle pizza! Have tried multiple of their pizzas, crust is always fabulous. RIP about their wings! They were great.

Pickle pizza was a disappointment. Barely any sauce. Skimped on the mortadella. Big sad.

Dropped about $30 on their famous Pickle Pizza, and man, it was worth every penny. The combo of mortadella, garlic cream, and a heap of dill pickles might sound wild, but it totally works. Crust had that perfect chew, and the flavors just popped. The spot's got a chill, no-frills vibe that feels right at home in the neighborhood.

I prefer my ceaser salad without pubes in it. Really grossed out.

We ordered Bobs for about two years since we moved here. We took a break from them to try other pizza places, and then came back, but we won’t order again.

Bob’s replaced their fantastic hot wings with terribly cheap frozen chicken nuggets. They’re more expensive than McDonalds nuggets but don’t taste even half as good. That fire heat sauce from the wings? Gone.

The pizza arrived basically cold, and with the wings replaced with nuggets, there just no reason to continue. There are better options in the city that offer sides/apps that aren’t from a wholesale frozen distributor. If I wanted the sides this cheap I’d just got to Mariano’s or Pete’s and not pay double for Bob’s.

This was far and away the best pizza and wings I had two years ago. I don’t know what’s happening, but it’s clear it isn’t good.

Bring back the loaded fries! We loved them so much!

Edit: had to drop it down to 2 stars after getting the chicken nuggets. Nuggets replaced the fries and wings om the menu and they are awful. Frozen garbage heated up in an oven. Worse than mcdonalds for way more $$.

Chill, hot pizza, lovely customer service.
