50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Fort Lee

“Had a great experience with Pomodoro Pizza & Italian Restaurant. This place is a true Fort Lee classic and has that old-school neighborhood pizzeria charm that’s getting harder and harder to find. The moment you walk in, you can tell there’s history here. The place has style, character, and an iconic feel that makes it stand out from the crowd.

I had a pepperoni slice, and one of the first things I noticed was the size. The slices are huge! The pizza came out hot, fresh, and packed with flavor, with a great balance of crispy crust, sauce, cheese, and pepperoni.

The staff are welcoming and friendly, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk through the door. The owner is an absolute gentleman and was a pleasure to speak with, which made the experience even better.

Places like this are becoming rare. Great pizza, great people, and a timeless atmosphere that keeps customers coming back year after year.

If you're looking for a classic slice spot with personality, history, and consistently good food, Pomodoro is definitely worth checking out“

“We had the Jersey Tomato, the pesto pizza without chicken and the Snow White. They were all so good! Pizzas are about $20 and feed 2 people with good size slices. The drinks were great too. I had the sparkling pineapple ade and it was crafted with a pretty sprig of rosemary and a an orchid. The kids loved the boba tea - they made the coffee on with decaf for us.“

“Wonderful friendly folks!“

“My go-to pizzeria! Also tons of classic Italian choices. Great coffee also!“

“great food and service, whole group enjoyed eating here.“

“Amazing food and service. Our family has enjoyed every meal at Franco’s. Great prices, atmosphere and the staff is amazing!“

“Best margarita Pizza ever in the whole wide world and their wings oh my God they are real wings no fat on them like a little bit but not like you know when you go into a place and they give you Tyson wings that’s all fat not at all. huge wings, delicious and the margarita. I’m eating a slice as I’m writing this review and the staff is amazing all around. That’s my go to.“

“Let's just start off... simply... I used to live in the fabulous... "We are Fort Lee, aka the 07024"... I will just put this concept in a list form... most importantly, i'm writing this at 330 am, and i can't sleep, so forgive the ramblingness of this review... this place is not just about food... it's a 'gathering place'... the peeps trump the food for me... for a reason to visit... EVEN THOUGH THE FOOD IS TOP NOTCH!!! 1. i miss Gus Karageorge, RIP... (he is and will always be linwood pizza of fort lee to me)... this man fed the nightcrawl vips such as myself... the police the bridge maintenance peeps... all of us we night time regulars there... 2. there food is second to none... personally, i used to be corner sicilians & garlic knots... now, i'm the center sicilian & garlic knots... some things never change, some people change very very very little... 3. the counter guy anthony... literally delivered to our family... this is eons ago... but i would say circa 2009... while we were sleeping outside, in a TENT!!! best delivery ever!!! yes, that means i've been a pretty faithful visitor and customer for 13 or more years... 4. nicole, (gus' daughter) and i fell in love (me mainly) with remote control cars running them around like little kids in the linwood plaza parking lot at 330 am. (once again circa 2013) 5. needless to say... it's all about the people for me... it's all about the wonderful food and memories... so there u go... LINWOOD PIZZA OF FORT LEE FOR LIFE!!! STUFF OF LEGEND!!!“

“Great BYOB and the people who work there are so friendly, specially Ardita!“

“Great and delicious pizza, excellent friendly customer service and cool space.“

“Great Italian food and a decent menu, not much choice but not too much. It's located next to Post Office 34 and is very trendy. The view and service are great, but it's noisy as there isn't much to absorb the sound. We ordered focaccia, roasted peppers and pasta. Everything is great and super fresh.“

“Standing room type of joint, waits can be up to an hour (which is not worth it, imo), but the pizza is very good and they know what they're doing. Soft serve gelato is also quite good, if a little over priced. A lot of competition around, but L'induatrie is up there among the better pizzas in NYC.“

“The pizza is excellent, there is a modest amount of space to eat in, and they have a bar so customers can enjoy an adult beverage with their meal. Friendly service and a reasonable wait makes this good value for one’s money. We will be back!“

“Excellent“

“Their pizza is delicious and they were super friendly! Love that’s it’s nice and close to Penn Station, a great first stop after we arrived in the city!“

“One word DIABLO !!!🙏❤️ Frost Beer was ice cold !!!“

“Very good atmosphere and very tasty pizzas. A real treat!“

“the best! staff was so lovely and welcoming!!“

“This is the best pizza I have ever had, nice crisp, light crust with just the right amount of toppings, no grease at all. I live in CT and thought no pizza was better than our New Haven ones, boy was I wrong!!! Looking forward to returning……soon!“

“Very Friendly service. Staff were great and assisted with menu choices. Most of all the Pizza was Delicious 😋“

“The food was delicious and the service even better! Definitely a must when in New York. The dessert was amazing with a tad sea salt to end off the night. The general manager Asher was quite the hoot and always made sure that his people were taken care of!!“

“Attractive place, very clean with countermen keeping everything tidy, wiping surfaces, rearranging pizza on trays, as they worked served customers.

The plain slice I had was underwhelming - nice thin crust, but for a place called “Pizza Loves Sauce” I found the sauce to be very mild, almost a non-factor. Overall, I’d give it 6/10.

I didn’t realize this shop is halal, not sure how that affects things other than no pork in the pepperoni and no real bacon on the bacon ranch pizza. 🤷🏻‍♂️

In a city with so many great pizza places, I can’t say this is anywhere near top-tier.“

“Had the pleasure of eating here today with my family. What a wonder experience! Staff was extremely friendly and helpful, beautiful opera being played lightly in the background, and the food was amazing with large portions. Would absolutely recommend! We will definitely be coming back on our next trip to NY!“

“I love the delicious salads and pizzas at their store!“

“We dropped by Ace's Pizza around 3pm., Brooklyn, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, 5th Ave NYC and it was such a great experience! The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating—amazing service all around. We ordered the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, Caesar Salad, and a 14-inch Pepperoni Pizza. Every single item was delicious! The quality of the food was outstanding. The pepperoni pizza especially stood out—crispy crust, flavorful toppings, and just the right amount of cheese. We really enjoyed everything we ordered, and the overall vibe of the place made the experience even better. Highly recommended if you’re in the area and craving great pizza!“

“I do not like pizza but after having the truffle oil and mushrooms I can honestly say it was best and if I come back - would definitely come back . The girl who was behind the counter was absolutely wonderful—lovely customer service!!“

“I recently stopped by Joe's Pizza in Manhattan, and it honestly lives up to the reputation. The slice is classic New York style: thin crust with a slight crunch on the bottom, foldable without falling apart, and a balanced sauce that doesn’t overpower the cheese. The cheese has that slightly oily, nostalgic feel you expect from a true street-style slice, but it doesn’t feel heavy or greasy in a bad way.

What stood out most was consistency. Whether you grab a plain cheese slice or a pepperoni, it tastes like the “real” New York pizza experience people talk about. The place is usually busy, but service moves fast and the staff keeps things efficient.

Tips: go during off-peak hours if you want to avoid a line. Cash or card both work, but card can be slightly quicker. If it’s your first time, start with a plain slice before trying toppings so you can judge the base quality properly. Best enjoyed fresh and standing nearby, not for takeout travel.“

“Amazing vibes at Saucey! 🍕✨ Fresh ingredients, fun build-your-own pizzas, and killer cocktails. Perfect spot to chill with friends and enjoy great times. Can’t wait to be back! 🎉🍸“

“Authentic lovely food Napoli style! Top class!“

“If you go to NY you must grab a slice of pizza from Champion pizza! It was my favorite slice during my visit last year. Crispy bottom but melt in your mouth topping! So so good!“

“Family owned italian pizza, next to Port Authority Bus Terminal. The best pizza I had in a long time! Friendly service, nice decor with family pictures. I highly recommend!!!“

“Delicious!! Loved the place“

“The ranch dressing with the bbq Pollo is absolutely incredible“

“I spent the last few days going a concert at the Bowery Ballroom and went to Nolita pizza every night and it is the best pizza I’ve ever had. The Sicilian double pepperoni with hot honey was insanely delicious. I’m waiting for them to add my new appetizer I suggested pepperoni basket . Because they are so delicious. Everyone working there especially the owner is super grateful and kind. Highly recommend and can’t wait to get back to NY to get it again! #bestpizzanycnolita #nolitapizzanyc #nolita #TheAirborneToxicEventFansloveNolita pizza #Medici❤️Nolitapizza😃🍕“

“Ordered two pizzas. Pizza crusts were spot on and tasty...overall some good pizzas. The sauce though.
A previous review mentioned the sauce was sweet but that they probably don't add sugar to their tomato sauce. I would disagree with that assumption. Half way through the pizza ... The sweetness kinda took over for me. And that's just a personal preference maybe?

Service was cold and not the friendliest.
The set up itself was decent enough and clean... They had some latin music playing which was ok.

I'm not sure I'd come back if I was in New York next. If you enjoy sweet pizza sauce you'll love this place because the crust was really good :) Just the sweetness of the sauce was not to my taste.“

“Great crispy crust, super fresh ingredients, balanced sauce. Owner is friendly and efficient
Tiny spot but they have a little counter seating if you want to stay. Great overall!
I also wanted to add that I saved my eggplant slice for the next day and it was so amazing- a thick slice of eggplant sits atop a sicilian-like square with plenty of sauce and not too much cheese- better than any eggplant parm hero I've ever had. The sauce is nice and garlicky and the eggplant was so pillowy soft. I toasted it to reheat and the crust was just as airy and crispy as the slices were fresh. I'll definitely be back soon!“

“I have been going to pops since it opened by my job.the pizza is awesome with that old school real pizza taste. The owners and staff are very professional and down to earth. This place is my favorite spot. I highly recommend Pops pizza over any. Thank you for the best pizza and service.“

“Margarita Pizza was delicious. Will definitely be back to try some more adventurous styles.“

“One word DIABLO !!!🙏❤️ Frost Beer was ice cold !!!“

“Un lugar lleno de historia y con bastante sabor!!! Un gran punto dentro de la gótica cuidad de NY“

“Came to the restaurant with a nice greeting and straight to giving me the best pizza. Thankfully getting a pizza here doesn’t take that long and very understanding when we changed our mind to dine in. Pizza was really fresh and delicious, all of us had a amazing time eating. Can’t wait to come here again!“

“This place is IT. Fresh ingredients, delicious flavors, simple but so satisfying… and kind, lovely chefs. I got the prosciutto sandwich and it was huge! The bread was right out of the oven and the mozarrella, tomato, basil, and pesto were perfectly balanced. I devoured it! This is my new go-to in Union Square.“

“Great tasting food and nice atmosphere. Also a very attractive waitress, beautiful“

“What an amazing dinner! We came for a family celebration and we we not disappointed!!“

“Food was amazing! I recommend😍“

“First-time visiting Giacomo's Pizza and Restaurant and I am thoroughly impressed! The place has such a cozy, authentic vibe, and the pizzas are absolutely top-notch. I tried their Meat Lovers pizza, and it was loaded with fresh toppings and perfectly cooked. The garlic knots on the side were buttery and amazing. The staff made the whole experience wonderful with their friendliness and attention. Already planning my next visit!“

“I’ll give 5 stars because I want them to stay in business !!!! But they need to change something.
*****IT USED TO BE 5 STARS*****, I used to go at night all the time when the dude that didn’t speak English worked there. But now for the last few months, he’s gone, and the pizza was NOT GOOD the last 3 times I went over the last couple months. Only at night I have eaten here. So i couldn’t tell you about the daytime.

In restaurant business, things need to be consistent, too bad no restaurants are really like this. Because people change up all the time. One little thing can change A LOT in food prep/cooking. I know. I’ve been in restaurant business for 10+ years… hope you guys can fix whatever was wrong with the pizza. I miss it lol“

“fantastic. great feel, friendly owners and workers. thank you“
