Brazilian Pizza

Wonderful, quaint pizza shop! I had been dying to try a Brazilian pizza restaurant, but my hometown doesn’t have too many, so I spotted this one, and was not at all disappointed!! Our pizza was INCREDIBLE! Just thinking about it right now makes me want more! Too bad I’m a plane ride away :(. I had the best flan/pudim I have ever had in my entire life here. I can’t stop thinking about it! The owner was very sweet, seems to have a desire to server the community as well, as I saw him giving pizza to a woman in need for incredibly cheap.

I stayed at Springhill Suites Newark Liberty for 1 night and I’m so glad I took a chance to order delivery from here. Had the broccoli and the shrimp pizzas as well as guava cheese. Coming from CA, these pizzas had some yummy Brazilian cheese! So good. Would definitely recommend and would order again. Everyone in my family savored the pizzas.

Rude service and bad food Terrible experience at Brasileira Grill. The bartender was rude, and when we complained about the long wait, the manager mocked us and just said, “What do you want me to do?” — zero professionalism. The food came without utensils, the caipirinha was awful, and the salpicão tasted like it had expired mayonnaise. Staff were overall disrespectful and unkind. Definitely not going back. Would never recommend this low life place! I used to go here in the past but now they’ve changed the staff and management and now the place stinks and sucks!

Amazing pizza you gotta try! They also have flan that is amazing, so sweet and delicious. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Ask about their daily promotions.

good pizzas and a amazing place!! real taste of brazil!!. and i also enjoyed how the young waiter served me very well..

I was surprised. It's on the inexpensive side of pizza but it was exactly what I was looking for when I wanted "really good pizza". The crust was crunchy, spicy (with the ones I chose) which I love and ingredients were amazing. A really nice family-owned kind of place.

Terrific food prices match the quality. I don't have a problem. Paying the prices for this excellent food once again. Excellent and delicious

Very good nice local, clean and relaxing environment

This was so unexpected and amazing. I can't wait to go back and try it again. The pizzas are extremely unique. We had one pizza half and half. One side was a chicken pizza that essentially tasted like an american chicken casserole. The other side was more of a traditional supreme pizza but with so many toppings including hard boiled egg which was interesting.

Good food authentic taste and very similar to the Brazilian way of pizza. We ordered a pizza portuguesa but there were a couple of things missing. The frango com catupiry was very full and satisfying. The service was great the lady that answered the phone was pleasant and she got our order perfectly. She only has issues with spelling the street but that was no bother. We ordered in, and the pizza got there in40 min. The only downside is that when we got the sizes of the pizza it did not match the price that we payed. When compared to a normal american pizzaria, this pizza was way overpriced. It was a good experience that we will do once in a blue moon, however, id the prices were better we would be able to order more often.

Been coming here for over 15 years, the place has never disappointed. That moda do chefe does something to me, best pizza I've had, and I love giving some to others to try - everyone loves it!

Call me narrow minded but I have to agree with other pizza snobs on Yelp that this is not what most would consider decent pizza. It might be authentic (I hope it's not), at least the delivery driver had a Bolsonaro '17 sticker on his car. So there's that. To be more precise, it was soggy, with thick cheese and the only topping that might not have come straight out of a can would be the watery tomatoes. On the upside, they did deliver to Newark airport and the Brazilian soda was a hit with the kids who got a major sugar rush out of it.

The pizzas are amazing, i love the workers there they make you feel right at home! The place feels so homey it reminds me of being right back in brazil. So much love for this place always! Chef's pizza is my favorite!

So this was my " Bacon " pizza that I got. There's bearly any bacon. Only on the pizza thats next to the crust. I paid $20 for this pizza. Definitely not worth it. But I called and they said that will have someone come give me my money back. So hopes that happens. There pizza used to be my favorite but it definitely had gone down in quality. UPDATE. It's been 30 min since they told me that I was going to get my money back. So I thought I would call back and check in. I was speaking to them in English. I asked the lady when will the guy be here to give me the refund. And she put me on hold and was talking to her bosses. I was hearing evrything. One old lady in the mad was getting upset and said this. " oh is she in a hurry to get her money back, just tell her 30 mins " I herd and understand everything. When the lady came on the phone I told her I understand evrything her boss said and I told her I was very upset. She told me she was going to send the delivery driver right now to get my money. They are you definitely going to get 1 less star now. The phone girl was very Polite So here we go again, I can't believe this. After about. A hour I got my $20 back. But wow I can't believe this is how people get treated. He came back to give me the money and after me giving him the box he blocked my door and didn't let me close it. He was trying to open the box and check if the pizza was there. I laughed and told him that I wasn't going to lie to him about the pizza. WISH I COULD GIVE 0 stars. I called back to thank the lady for giving me a refined and I got attacked by the phone lady. This is a bad place.

Is this the best pizza I've ever had? Not the best "traditional" pizza, but Brazilian Pizza is pretty darn delicious! If you want a plain slice, you should probably go somewhere else. Don't get me wrong, plain Italian/American-style pizza is great, but sometimes it's nice to change it up! They have a huge menu; toppings galore! We decided on the Portuguese pie because hey, why not! This included: eggs, olives, onions, tomatoes, mozzarella, and presunto [aka prosciutto or "ham" (not really ham)]. If you want a simpler pizza, try their chicken & cheese pizza. It has mozzarella + catupiry cheese.....yum!

I'm really so appalled by all the one star reviews! I've never had typical brasilian pizza (like in actual Brasil I mean) however - this place is amazing! I've been coming here since I was 6 years old. Clearly anyone leaving a bad review was expecting a typical Italian / American pizza. Welp, this isn't the spot for that. My moms favorite pizza from here is Modo do Chef - which includes chicken, hearts of palms, olives, tomatoes, corn, mozzarella & a brasilian cult favorite: catupiry which would kind of be like a cream cheese. Sounds weird on pizza, but it's actually DELICIOUS. I tend to go for the 'Vegetarian' pizza #46 on the menu. It basically comes with everything that Modo do Chef would come with -sans chicken & catupiry. Of course, you can customize your pizza and add or remove anything you'd like. In my opinions, their crust is the perfect ratio of crunchy/crispy without being too stiff/hard. Their sauce is pretty good, and the mozzarella they use is SOOOO melty and stringy. Just. Amazing. And don't even get me started on the catupiry! This place has always been my favorite little mom & pop pizza spot in the Ironbound. I definitely recommend this place. I promise you won't regret it!

Ask me about pizza and I'll have to send you over to this South American gem. Brazilian pizza has its own unique cheese that comes straight from Brazil. The signature pies 'Paulista', and the 'Moda do Chefe' are favorites!

Want a different style pizza? Come to this place! They have a huge selection of pizzas and toppings! The dough taste amazing and just all the toppings that come on it mixes well! Who would've thought egg on a pizza would be good?! Prices are great and portions are big and heavy! The owner is super friendly he even gave us flan to try out and that was really good as well. I will def be coming back to this place to try the other pizzas they have on the menu. Today we had a large pizza that had everything on it besides fish and fruits!

Thanks ! This is the only place that would deliver to double tree hotel Hilton near Newark airport at 9 pm. The person who took the phone call was nice and the food delivered quickly. I enjoyed the garlic bread the stuffed shells and the cheese ravioli. It was a great way to have dinner in unfamiliar place while waiting for my flight.

I have been here a bunch of times with my wife and once with my kids. My kids are extremely picky and rarely eat anything that's "Ethnic". So far I have not been disappointed here whatsoever. Every time I am happy with my choice, but I do have to admit that sometimes I am really confused on what to get because the selection is SO BIG!

Great legit Brazilian pizza. The owner is super friendly and can accommodate special requests. Will come back for sure.

Amazing Brazilian pizza!! Excellent customer service! The crust is perfect and all of the toppings are delicious If you are looking for a traditional Brazilian pizza, this is the place!

This is by far my fav pizza place. My husband and I moved to California and when visiting the NY/NJ area this is a must stop. Friendly atmosphere, great Brazilian pizza.

Just like in our country (Brazil) is a lot of mix of everything including culture, Brazilian Pizza is similar to that, if you are not open mind to try different flavors in one pizza, don't bother coming here, this is a totally different experience from the typical Italian or america 'vanilla' pizza, cheese, plain or salami. This pizza has tons of flavors and crazy mixes that you probably would never even think is possible. So, with that said. Try it if you're open mind to it, chances are you'll find it amazing, and will fall in love with it! My favorites are Moda do Chefe, Portuguesa and Rei da Pizza, you can SPLIT THE PIZZA IN TWO FLAVORS! How cool is that? You can try 2 at one pizza, they also offer small, medium, large and extra large sizes and they DO DELIVER! I love them! The only down point is that sometimes it tales a while to be delivered.. But well, they're busy.. Because they're good... And when I want it, I want it, so I don't mind waiting extra 10-15 minutes for it.

I love this place! I've been coming here for 10 years and the older couple that owns it are so cute and helpful. They are always working, the place is clean, and really tastes like Brazilian pizza. We are Brazilian and they always have the traditional sodas and I just found out they deliver to union and hillside now. People should really fight to make sure they get busier and stay around. The best pizza is Moda do Chefe

My soul is irked, all these bad reviews, these people don't know what a real brazilian pizza is. This place is amazing, probably the closest thing to Brasilian pizza you'll ever get. Always fresh. This place is owned by this older couple and they are at the shop everyday, ever since I first arrived to the states, they never seem to take the day off. They're open until midnight and they deliver from newark all the way to Elizabeth and Kearny!! They don't even make you tip extra, thats just your choice. People talking about the catupiry, let me just say this, it's really hard to get real good and fresh catupiry here in the states but they do a pretty damn good job dealing with what they got. I always*** order the "moda do chefe" which is almost everything; heart of palms, olives, corn, chicken, just so much deliciousness. Clearly they offer traditional brasilian soda, guarana and some portuguese sodas like sumol, along with snapples, coke, sprite, and even suco de maracuja!! Passion fruit juice, my fav. All in all, this place is great. The negative reviews I read were all written by people who don't seem brasilian, so they can't give a full review in my opinion.

Ordered hot wings, got plain. Called them back they said they were out of the hot sauce(???) Only after delivering the food they notify that they are out of hot sauce???? What kind of restaurant runs out of hot sauce?

This review is NOT for Brazilians. This review is strictly for people who are native New Jerseyans. If you're a native of New Jersey, you have unwavering expectations of what pizza should taste like. A good rule of thumb: if it NEEDS a topping, it can't be that good. And with 48 different combinations listed on the menu (including chocolate pizza), this pizzeria is dead set on reinventing the wheel (or pie). Perhaps this is how's it done in Brazil, and homesick locals may very well love this place. But if what you're looking for is a good slice, you're not going to find it here. The pizza lacks robust flavors and crispness. You'd be equally satisfied spreading shredded cheese on a pita and shoving it into a toaster oven. Better options include Pizza Hut and Dominoes. Heck, in frozen pizza would be a slight upgrade. If I were you, I'd venture out and try another pizzeria in area. Unless, of course, you've been craving a pizza topped with bananas, cinnamon, and condensed milk. This place is only appropriate for Brazilians, children, and pregnant women!

The BEST Pizzaria in town. Forget about all others, the pizza they make is really good. A bit pricey but totally worth it. Chocolate pizza, chocolate and strawberry, cheese and guava, there are so many. Definitely good place to go. I would just recommend some renovation for God's sake.

Reading through the reviews and it seems like the bad ones come from people expecting to find NY $1 pizza in this establishment called "Brazilian Pizza"... open your minds people. Brazilian pizza is pretty much a meal on a pizza and then you put ketchup and mayo on it and eat it with a fork and knife. Legit. I am Brazilian and this is 100% authentic. I came here with my boyfriend (Russian... loved it) and ordered "O rei da pizza"... ham, olives, catupiri cheese, heart of palm, and other delicious things. It was SOOOOOOO tasty. Not only that, but the service was great. The people who work there were drinking "chimarrao", an herba mate from Southern Brazil told me about it and about the neighborhood. Don't expect trendy. Expect authentic and family-oriented. Also don't be alarmed by the random people coming in trying to sell burned copies of DVD's... this just adds to the authenticity. Highly recommend it :)

Oh, those Brazilians... always taking Americana and making it their own. Brazilian Pizza is no different. It's not just the name of the store, it's the entire category. What do you want on your pizza? Cheese? Sure. Sauce? Sure. Cucumbers, fresh corn, and hearts of palm? Why not? The pizzas are pretty good, even the more bizarre concoctions (tuna fish and onions, anyone?), but not really the best pizza around. The crust is fine, the sauces and toppings are good, but it's not super spectacular. The interesting ingredients aside, the quality of the food is good, but not amazing. For most consumers, I think the Brazilian take would be a novelty, and the more common orders are the ones that approximate the Italian/American varieties of pizza (sausage, mushrooms, cheese). I should also point out that the prices are a bit high for the quality of the food. I have not tried the other offerings, just a couple of the pizzas. 3.41333252 stars, and definitely worth a try!

Great Pizzeria i've ever had!! forget about your regular "cheesy" pizzas you eat at the italian restaurants. this is the BEST you will ever have. they have 47 different types of toppings. the "Calabresa" which is brasilian sausage is great. the "Portuguesa" has 6 different toppings is to die for... ham,onions,eggs,tomatoes,green peppers & green olives. my personal favorite is "Toscana" . it has Brasilian sausage, onions,garlic,olives & oregano

The worse pizza I ever had here in the USA , they say brasilian pizza but there is nothing like Brazilian pizza , it's over priced and really bad

This venue kind of reminds me of a Brazilian Singha's Famous Pizza. They know what their demographic likes and delivers it in pizza encasing- think heart of palm, cucumbers, corn, eggs, Brazilian cheese (similar to cream cheese). Is it the highest form of pizza artistry imaginable? No, but you shouldn't come here for that. What you should come here for is the Pizza, the Corinithians football game in the background, the guarana soft drinks and the really down to earth wait staff. And the Pizza, lest I forget that.

Just had pizza delivered from this place, I ordered half paulista and half o rei da pizza no mushroom, they sent me a pie full of mushrooms and no catupiry cheese. The hole pie tasted just awful. Besides the mistake with my order, This pizza was probably the worst I've had in my entire life!

Went to this place in the hope to find a real Brazilian pizza in NJ, and the disappointment was complete. Start by the place, which is disgusting. Old, dirty, zero maintenance. Then you see the pizza guy get the ingredients with his bare hand, and after dropping a few ingredients on the counter, he gets it with his hands and put back into the recipient. Well, at least if the pizza was good, but no. The pizza is terrible as well. The mozzarella tastes like detergent, and the "Catupiry" is not catupiry at all (not even a cheaper brand). It's a completely different "cheese", probably a ricota with some heavy cream. Terrible! Will never go back.

Best pizza in NY metro area!! Extremely recommended Brazilian style pizza the way only brazilians know how to make.

The best pizza ever! Ordered for the first time last night while i was at a airport hotel, and they were so friendly on the phone ;) the pizza was God sent, tasted amazing! Delivery was quick too! Can't wait to visit Newark again, just for this delicious pizza! Also added plus the pizza box was patriotic said "home of the brave" with eagle, as a military wife, that made my heart warm

The best Pizza in the area! My wife is Brazilian and always complains that we can't find anything that remind her of home where we live in Central NJ. After trying a few other places this is her "go-to" spot!

After travelling most of the USA, I made a pit stop in Newark, NJ as usual... and wow. What a find! Brazilians have a different twist on the almighty pizza (as if we needed to add more point-of-views on how to take on the pizza war) and the Brazilians come swinging hard... On With The Review! Pros: Unbelievable amount of flavor combos Completely new pizza experience Inexpensive Cons: Parking can be difficult during work hours Food: Wow. Brazilian Pizza really breaks the mold when it comes to introducing a new way of making this favorite. You can choose from a multitude of toppings and combinations, If I counted they had around 40! And that's not including whatever combination you want. Remember - the idea with this pizza is finding the right combo that rocks your palate. They even have, get this, dessert like pizza of Chocolate, Strawberries or Bananas, Cinnamon and Sugar... yeah... it's $@* nuts but very tasty. What did I get? I went right for the jugular - 1 Pizza Slice, with EVERYTHING savory. And man they weren't kidding when they said "Ok". My "standard" slice came with black olives, green olives, italian sausage, Brazilian sausage, green peppers, onions, fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, shredded chicken, corn, hearts of palm, pineapple, meatball slices (and I'm sure more that I can't remember) all topped underneath a perfect snake-like sliver of Brazilian Catupiry cheese. Catupiry is similar to a mild cream cheese that tastes like a combo of muenster, mozzarella and jack. There is tomato sauce (light) noted and the crust has a mildly crunchy outside with a chewy inside that reminds me a fresh baked bread. Exactly. The "Everything Slice" - eat your heart out Ray's Famous #120,441 For those of you that are counter-culture, they also have typical pasta dishes and sandwiches, but really? Are you really gonna go there? One of these monster slices and you're set. Simply Amazing! I can hear Chicago and New York gasping as I type this... Price: My monster slice with all of the above? $5. It's cheaper (and somehow healthier) than any value meal. Cha-CHING! Staff: The people here at Brazilian Pizza were polite, friendly and eager to please. Most workers will have a bit of an accent but everyone speaks English. Feel free to learn Portuguese though... it's just trendier that way. Service: Quick - very quick. It's a pizza spot so you really can't expect to waste a lot of time, but I waited about 10 mins for my ubertastic slice to cook... not a heartbreak in the least. Ambiance and Crowd: Basically a lot of locals (Brazilians, Portuguese) and people "in-the-know", but it acts like your typical pizza joint. Location: Brazilian Pizza is located right in the heart of the Ironbound on Wilson Ave, the slightly more Brazilian area of the neighborhood. Simple to get to off of Ferry St, 1-9, or Market. Be weary - street cleaning during the week makes parking an annoying feat, some come with as little vehicles as possible or simply be prepared to walk a block or two. H-Cane's Final Spin: I learned about the Brazilian pizza point of view when I visited the country a few years back (Highly Recommend it BTW) over in the state of Paraná. I love Brazilian people, customs, rum, food and of course PIZZA. When I was introduced to Brazilian Pizza in Newark, it brought me back perfectly. All I needed was some Samba music (and Samba dancers) and I wouldn't leave. Now this place ain't for the traditionalists - don't come here expecting the standard Italian style of heavy tomato flavor. Come here if you want to pull an ace on that "pizza know-it-all" - bring a date, if they like food twists and wonderful culinary invention. Muito Bom, Cara!

I ordered from this place on a weekday and it was good and plenty, then I ordered again on the weekend and the food was bad and then i got sick. Am only giving it 1 star for whatever good i had from there

I have been to Brazilian Pizza a couple times, and I have never been disappointed. The pizza is not your typical Italian or American pizza, the sauce is slightly different, and the toppings are insane! I highly recommend the Presunto pizza (ham) and the Quatro Queijos (four cheese). Their orange juice is also delicious, fresh squeezed and very sweet; it reminds me of the one my grandma used to make for me. I also recommend you only come when you're extremely hungry since you will not want to stop eating. All in all, an excellent spot.

Absolutly awesome! The "Mineiro" for me was the best! The people are very hospitable. It looks like a typical pizza joint, however it's like a little piece of Brazil! Awesome taste for an awesome price. I only wish they were in Queens, I would be a regular!!

Best Brazilian pizza in newark, its not at all as the pizza you can eat in Brazil, but its the closest you can get to it in here, have tried other places and this is the geatest! Highly recomended, my fav is "a moda do chef" it has a little of everything. Have been to this place many times and will always come back. I drive 40min just to go pick up a pizza thats how good its.

this is the worst thing i have ever eaten in my life ever. chicken taste like rotton tuna, when cook was confronted said it was made yesterday. like i have never eatin chicken before, didnt offer to replace or wave the bill. did i mention its was the worse thing i have ever ate? if i puked and put it on the plate it would be better
