My husband and I randomly stepped in here in search of a quick dinner, and walked away pretty happy. We ordered two slices - mushroom and sausage - along with a grilled chicken Caesar salad - and were not disappointed. The slices here might not be the best or the largest, but there's an appreciable crisp acquired on the crust from the oven. We're a big fan of mushrooms, so we also loved how heavily they laid the mushrooms on those slices. Surprisingly, the salad was the star of our table spread. The sliced chicken was so moist and well-marinated that our forks were fighting for every last piece long after we pronounced ourselves full.
I love the brisk and efficient service you get at a longstanding pizzeria, and we definitely got it at John's Boy's. You might not get smiles and cheer, but you'll get your food fast. Our food arrived at our table around five minutes after we ordered, and considering how hungry we were, we considered this a blessing.
I don't think anyone steps into a pizzeria expecting ambiance, but there are a few things I found noteworthy while dining in. There's a definite draft during colder weather that seemed to push diners closer to the inside of the restaurant. There are single-stall bathrooms available, but the women's bathroom didn't close all the way. I found myself finishing my business hurriedly lest someone walk in on me.

The pizza was alright. The toppings weren't distributed evenly and the crust couldn't support the toppings. The salads could use more dressing. The flavor and cheese of the pizza is good. Very friendly service. Kind of a bummer they only accept cash. Overall decent experience.

I can’t say enough amazing things about John’s Boy Pizza! The pizza was one of the best I’ve had in a really long time, and everyone else we were there with (about 30 people) agreed. We had plain cheese, peppers and onions, pepperoni and sausage and they were all amazing.In addition, Umberto and his wait staff were unbelievably attentive and friendly.Thank you so much for making this a wonderful experience for us!!

Great food. Love catering from them! So easy to order and always on time!
I’ve written more than one review here, probably with multiple emails, or maybe the same one. Who knows. Going on a tour de Bergen County with reviews since I no longer live in the area, and have come to find how incredibly spoiled us Bergen County folks are for the food we have access to. This place is one of them. I’ve never had pizza this good inside or outside of Bergen County. Miss this place a lot, even the lovely owners, and I stop in every trip back to get a slice that I eat straight away—because it’s the only way. Gonna have to plan another trip. Perfecto pizza. Probably can only get better in literal Italy.

The best pizza in NJ and dare I say the NYC area. Always fresh and delicious; incredible crust. I used to body a plain, buffalo chicken, and penne slice combo. Most importantly Umberto and Patrizia are the kindest, warmest people in the world. I have many fond childhood memories of visiting John's Boys with my family and make a point to go there whenever I'm back in the area. I also treasure my red & green John's Boys shirt!!

There should be 5 million 5 star reviews. Simply the best pizza (New York style pizza) and the best people. I have been going here practically my entire life.
