Uptown Pizzeria
“I've eaten pizzas all around Hoboken and what I got seemed more Gourmet than what I had at Grimaldi's. This slice was far superior to Grimaldi's as well as any other pizzerias in Hoboken.”
“Doesn't try to be anything other than a take-out pizza joint, something more pizzerias should look into.”
“Since I live a few blocks away, I usually walk here and get takeout, so I can't comment on delivery.”

This is really in the 3.5 range but I am rounding down (unlike me). It's definitely not as terrible as people say here.. walked by around 7:30 to grab a slice. Ok, the slices are not NYC prices (meaning .99 cents) but rather $3. (It's less than that for a pomodoro slice Ok, the slice price is a wee bit high given that the pizza is rather.. 1) floppy, and 2) unvaried- not a lot of selection. (cheese, pepperoni, chicken with veg, etc)
I got the white broccoli and while I liked the cheese, the broccoli was a bit sparse and the crust overall floppy so it didn't really stay up when I tried to eat it. They do have some thicker slices- the Sicilian and whatnot.
The garlic knots (4 for $1) are AWESOME- so fluffy, buttery, and garlicy- real garlic! The marinara sauce is great too :). Better than the slices.
The people are super duper nice though – they're fast and they package everything for you in a nice to go box. Minus brownie points because there is no place for you sit down inside :(. It's def a to go place.
More like 3 to 3.5 stars, but since some reviewers seem unreasonably down on the place, I'm rounding mine up to balance things out.
I come here mainly for snack or lunch slices on the weekend, and for that, this place fits the bill. They usually only have 5 or 6 thin-crust pies out at a time. One reviewer seemed to note that as a negative (less choice), but to me it's a positive: fewer pies sitting around means quicker turnover and fresher slices. Compare that to a place like Basile's, where they've got 20 pies out, 19 of which look days-old and completely congealed, and you'll see why fewer is better. Even with only 6 choices, they cover a good range and always have something I'm interested in.
In terms of the pizza itself, the thin-crust slices are pretty large, the sauce is on the sweet side, and the toppings and cheese are average / decent, but not special or top-notch. I wouldn't put this place in the same league as Napoli's, Grimaldi's or Johnny Pepperoni, and if I'm ordering a whole pie or getting it for dinner, I'm going to one of those places, not here.
As some other reviewers have noted, they also make a good sicilian slice, which I like every now and then as an (admittedly carbolicious) old school change-up. Somehow the sicilian slices always look just-out-of-the-oven fresh, and if you can grab a corner slice, you're in for a treat.
I guess I'm less price-sensitive than some other reviewers, but to be honest, I don't really care if a slice is $2, $3 or $4 as long as it tastes good. If I were ordering 1000 slices it would matter, but for one or two, what's the difference?
Since I live a few blocks away, I usually walk here and get takeout, so I can't comment on delivery. I can say that I've been here many times over the years, and the service has always been fast and friendly.
Primarily a takeout spot, a few outside tables and a standing counter inside. The Sicilian slices ($3.50) are good, better than the regular triangle slices ($3) IMO. Very cheese-heavy slices. OK if you're in the area, but I prefer the competition.
Pizza,Calzone, and Chicken Cutlet sandwich were 4 stars when you rate quality and price. Stromboli might have had more butter than crust, meat, and cheese so it was gross (0 stars). I'd go back and try other items. Overall, averaged out to 3 star rating
Ok so this review is for me coming here on July 4th after the fireworks but I still think the experience was ridiculous… They charged us $4.50 for a slice of pizza and the worst part is – they gave it to us cold. when my friend asked if they could warm it up some more, they said no its already warm.. They also charged her $3 for a bottle of water. Fine- I understand you are going to charge people up the bazooka on a holiday but at least give us hot pizza. The only reason why i'm giving it a 2 instead of a 1 is b/c the pizza was half decent….
