Pompei Pizza

Best Pizza in JC! Don’t try to debate me it’s my opinion. Cheese impeccable, sauce magnificent, i am not a crust lover but when I tell you this crust is next level😳😳 it’s krispy but pillowy at the same time and has very good flavor. Hands down just the best Damm pizza in JC. Don’t comment until you try it. And this was a take out review so imagine having it fresh out the oven! Amazing job guys

Hidden gem overall. Really well made pizza. Not exactly sure if the ingredients are high quality on the pizza, def well crafted. Thin, crispy and tasty sauce. The desserts are low key a highlight on their own. All homemade and fresh. They're a bit pricey but again, homemade and fresh. I'd love to see Dave Portnoy check them out!

Pizza was okay, nothing crazy. Nice little spot where you can take a date. They had some pop up shops when I went, and that was cool. Margherita pizza 3/5

Pizza is without a doubt the best in the area. Pizza guy knows what’s up. Crust crisped perfectly. Sauce is great. Other options are good also. Had a Caesar and spaghetti and meatballs and both were very solid as well. Pizza absolutely rips though👌

Ordered this to be delivered and it was so delicious… literally the perfect kind of pizza that we wanted for dinner. Will be ordering again!! We got a pepperoni pizza and a chicken parm sandwich

I love this place. I always go on Wednesdays. I'd rather eat pizza, but today I went, and I like it because it always has the same consistency, that spongy, well-cooked dough. A very good job on the pizza. It's hard to find this kind of pizza on the West Side.

My husband is very particular about his Margarita slices and this place did not disappoint! Not only was he happy, but I love the fact that they made half of the pie with more cheese (how I like it) and less on his side. In fact, my mother also loved the pizza as she said it had the ‘perfect amount of crispiness.’ The flavors were unbelievable, and the baked goods were extremely fresh and unique. I can’t wait to come back and try gluten-free or cauliflower pizza, as I can tell everything here is made with care where attention to detail is paramount.

Go here now! My friend is new to this area & we decided to order for pick-up. I loved the yuzu lime olive oil cake and the 'classic NY style pie' most. I've never been inside, but my friend mentioned the new ownership is super friendly and is even having pop-up events in the back garden. The pizzas are super reasonable & this is exactly what the neighborhood needed!

I've lived in this hood for three years and pleasantly surprised by the quality. Never tried them before but Certainly will again. Pepperoni that curls like all quality does. Crispy base straight through, without the obnoxiously thick crust. Excellent work. Will return.

No fluff or gimmicks, just really good pizza. Glad to hear there are new owners and it's clearly paying off. One of my favorite plain/pepperoni slices in Jersey City. The wings are tasty but I they do get a little soft in transit. Recommend asking for them a little crisped up.

I recently ordered delivery to the Heights (Yay!) and tried Pompei Pizza's pasta dishes and cheesy garlic bread. I had the rigatoni vodka, added basil to it, and it was so good! Pompei is going to be my new go-to for lazy pasta nights. My fella had the spaghetti meatballs and loved it. We both had enough food for two meals, and prices were good, would have been way better if I had picked up to avoid Slice's delivery fee. They don't sell garlic bread, but rather cheesey garlic bread which we tried and was good but not my favorite.

Yeah I went back and I got the meatball parm: A bright but savory sauce, generous meatballs and a surprise garnish of basil on top making it an aromatic delight. Best parm I've had in years. Get the parm everyone.

So, I restarted going back to Pompei once I heard the business had new owners. I'm pleased to say the pizza is still fantastic and now they have their own baked goods!! the space is still open and welcoming, the staff is super friendly and always a pleasure interacting with . The pizza is thin but crunchy and super tasty. Two slices came out to $5.50! I gotta tell you their pizza is fantastic . I need to buy some of their baked goods next time I'm in there. It's going to be such a great local pizza spot and i'm excited to see how the community comes together to make this place awesome . please stop by and grab a slice and try their pudding for me

Much better service and staff with the new owners. Typical neighborhood pizza shop. Visit when you're in the area.

I wanted to try this place twice, before I reviewed. The first time, I had someone not wash their hands or use sanitizer and put my slice in the oven with their hands. This time I just tried to order a whole pie. It was paper thin and burnt.

The regular slice was so so but the margarita slice was delicious. I would stick with that. I'm not a big fan with pizza being smothered with cheese. Service was great and it's a nice little spot to grab a slice of pizza. Stick with the Margarita slice delicious.

We were sad when Pompei closed down, but ever since it reopened under new management it's been even better. The pizza is delicious, the wings are great (the naked ones are better than the breaded), the tira misu is amazing, and the cannolis are also very good. The owner is great and the staff are all friendly. They recently started offering breakfast on weekends (maybe only Sundays?) and I included a picture of their breakfast pizza which was a fun addition to the menu!

I tried Pompei Pizza for the first time the other night but I can say for sure it won't be the last time! The food was amazing. My group had rice balls, Caesar salad, eggplant rollatini and plain pizza. Everything was so delicious and the service was incredible! I definitely recommend trying it out if you haven't yet!

Delivery took over (1) hour. Pizza was cold and delivered upside down so the toppings were on cardboard and not the pizza. Definitely a negative experience.

Went to a wine pairing event here, January 2024. I remember this pizza spot a million years ago when I lived in the area, nice folk, nice vibe, consistent quality, and they kept it all simple and reasonable. Lo and behold, the new owners understand that. They reopened with the same vibe and attitude, respectful to the area, and the quality. Yay! The tasting felt like going to someone's grandma's house. She was gonna give you lil samples, but you were still gonna leave stuffed & boozed. The wine was flowing, matched perfectly by Notes INTL, and everyone warmed up and mingled in anticipation. I had a Cacio e Pepe risotto ball filled with creamy ricotta... lawd... it was heavenly-ly crispy edged with soft wonderful cheesey insides, a dollop of tomato sauce to rest on, and a lil shredded cheese to let you know they cared. I knew from this taste of tomato sauce the rest was gonna be excellent. Someone spent time on that sauce. A Winter Slice (pancetta, preserved fig, caramelized onion. And this is what's gonna make me get off a bus to get a pie and get a rideshare home. The crust on their pizza is perfection. Not so thick to make you guilty about the cardio you should of done, but crispy enough to work with any topping and not dominate the toppings. I had a piece of focaccia earlier with the lil plate of charcuterie at the start of the event that was dreamy. It was then I realized it wass gonna be a great nite. Spicy Lumache. Pasta looked simple, sprinkled cheese, a ll basil. But the sauce?! not only had a perfectly leveled kick, (calabrian chili) but was Kick-Ass! The lil scoopy shape of that pasta gave great mouthfuls of dynamite sauce. I wanted a spoon and a sofa seat. I looked around for a chef to hug. Now granted, some of this stuff may not be on the menu when you go, this was a special event. But that sauce? that crust? that attention to flavor?! That's not special event exception, that's character. I don't live there, but I'm going back, with or without a bottle of wine. Go!

I love this place. Super friendly and a decent slice. I always do pickup as it's much cheaper than delivery.

Delicious pizza, friendly owner and staff. Meatball sub is delicious. Awesome pastries- i love the cookies. Nice place to sit down!

Ordered a plain pie for pick up. Solid pizza. Intend on going back when craving more pizza.

This is by far my favorite place for pizza in JC. The shop itself has a great vibe. First time going in to dine after the pool this summer they were playing Martin on the TV and a great mix of Sade, Prince, classic hip hop and deep grooves/rare soul in the background. Service is always incredible! The owner is a cool lady who's always super nice to me and my kiddos. Pizza is fresh, restaurant is clean, cozy, and delivery has been good (I know they cannot control the delivery drivers as long as they don't put it under their arm during delivery we good!)

I like this pizza with white/ red sauce. I orders a couple times- like it. In bergen-Lafayette area It is a nice spot.

Bianca the friendly cashier was lovely and recommended the delicious Sicilian margarita slice. Great balance of fresh mozzarella and sauce with a hint of basil that wasn't overpowering but very complementary. Chill ambience nice pop music playing, plenty of seating, and nice sunlight.

This is handily the best pizza place in the Lincoln Park / Mcginley square region - a title previously held by 'no award' due to lack of acceptable nominees. Pies are thin crust style, though I do see they have a square pie which will have to be tried on a future order. Standouts are the mushroom thyme white pie, and their meatballs which often go overlooked and underappreciated as a topping. This location appears to have turned over to new management, so if you were previously having issues with both with the food and their bizarre hours and random closures that is now resolved. The new owner also seems to do a lot of baked goods and desserts which I have yet to sample, but hopefully that takes hold as the closest bakery I'm aware of is at least another twenty minute walk away and has issues of its own.

flavor-not bad delivery process-bad came 1/2 hour late-cold presentation - buffalo chicken sicilian forgot the chicken see picture

Super delicious pizza! Really lovely staff, a friendly place. My go to for yummy pizza

I ordered the 16-in and an order of knots everything was absolutely wonderful. The crust, the sauce, the cheese it all worked together beautifully. It's been a while since I've had a pizza like this. Thank you.

Super Duper friendly staff very kind and warmhearted. Great pepperoni, pizza, nice and clean environment.

Fantastic local pizzeria! A bit slow on the delivery side but their pizza is worth the wait. MPF:Pompei margarita pizza with onions and olives.

I just moved to Mcginley Square from Manhattan and i just ordered my 1st pizza from this restaurant to pick up. When i walked in the place owner was making the pizza and she didnt see me at first. She was using gloves and everywhere were pretty clean. I care hygiene as much as the taste of pizza so they already passed that! Pizza was very really good and dough was really crusty. i loved it! I could say this place will be my new regular pizza spot ! Owner was also very friendly and nice person, she is the one actually making orders which is also another big plus! If you are looking for new pizza place you should definitely try this restaurant!

It's been cleaned up, gentrified and prices doubled. Pizza isn't as good anymore, either. Bianca still provides service with a smile, but I won't be a customer anymore.

It's good pizza and especially when hungry and in a rush. Reasonable prices and friendly staff. Recommend

Had a misunderstanding with my delivery, but they were quick to adjust. The food was very great as well. We got a supreme pizza. We plan to come back here to try other flavors.

Their food is amazing by far one of the best pizzas I've had !! 10/10. I would recommend . their service is also excellent

This place is under new ownership as of Fall 2023. The pizza is great! Best quality in the neighborhood. So glad to have them in West Side/Lincoln Park area. They use high-quality ingredients and it shows. We got the pepperoni pizza, arugula salad and rice balls. Very tasty! Good service, prompt delivery. I saw on Instagram that the co-owner makes all the baked goods herself. We can't wait to try some cookies and desserts. This is our new go-to spot.

Fantastic food! Their parm sandwiches are second to none and taste so fresh. The staff are so friendly and call you by your name when you walk in the door. There's no other place I'd recommend to get pizza and classic Italian dishes in the McGinley Square area. Definitely a must-have!

Service is great, their winter cookies were a hit at our household. I have had their pizza, it's good but not my preference which is NY style pizza.

Horrible customer service! Asked for a X-Large pie crispy it came out soggy. Pizza was all over the place and yes I know it's the drivers fault. But honestly I've never had a problem ordering before but you guys lost a customer. The young lady on the phone has poor customer service skills and instead of saying what you want me to do about it how about you learn how to use customer service skills. Because saying what you want me to do about it isn't how you speak to your customers. I got my money back though from grub hub but you guys lost a customer. Also please don't false advertise and say 6 garlic knots and send only 5.

I pretty much agree with some other people that this is just the standard pizza. If you have like $8 and you want a few slices of pizza to tide you over because you're hungry, and there isn't a lot of choice regarding food options on the block, it will definitely make due. However, the cheese didn't seem to have much taste and the sauce wasn't flavored well, so the residual taste in my mouth that was always left over was just from the doughy bread.

Standard pizza place. Ordered large pie with fries and coke (it was actually Pepsi when delivered, whatever no big deal). Delivery was speedy. Called in and ordered on a Saturday night at around 9pm and it was here in about 25 minutes so I'm impressed. Pizza was decent, it had a crust, sauce and cheese...it was good but a bit on the flavorless side. However, it was only $12 for an 18" cheese pie so no complaints. Fries were standard, thick cut. A bit soggy by the time it arrived but that's to be expected...fries never deliver well. The portion size was huge and for $3, again no complaints there. Bottom line is if you are looking for a cheap and easy dinner, you can't go wrong ordering from here.

7/14/16 Ordered a pepperoni pizza and it was good. My mom and sister enjoyed it as well. The young lady who answered the phone was patient, and polite and also listened to my request. Which was to send some of the toppings with the pizza i.e. (Garlic powder, parmesan cheese, pepper, etc). For this reason alone I'm changing my rating to 5stars. There. Chicken bacon ranch pizza is good. There regular pizza pie isn't so good. It's soft and chewy each of the 3 times I ordered a pie. Also, every time I call to place an order the prices are different. I called for a Sicilian bacon chicken ranch at 3:55pm and when I asked how much I was told $24. I told them I'll call back when is get home to order. When I got home and called back and ordered it I was told it was $18. That wasn't the first time. So I don't buy from here unless I am desperate.

Order the NFL Special. Mozz Sticks were good, Wings were meh, Pizza I wouldn't get again. The price was good for the amount of food but I probably would never order here just because it wasn't that satisfying taste-wise!

Great pizza spot! we order weekly. Their pies are delicious and they are always consistent with agreat crust and fresh toppings. Margarita and BBQ chicken are a must try.

The food is always fresh and delicious. Delivery is always delivered on time and hot. And pickup is always ready when I decide to pickup

I have ordered Pompei Pizza through Yelp Delivery a few times. The delivery was alway on time and consistent with the estimated time. There is a minimum $15 delivery. Usually, I order the 18" regular pizza pie for $12.00. The price is fair. The pizza tastes savory. It isn't anything special but it doesn't beat the price for the size!

I've lived around the corner from Pompei my entire life and my family is probably their best customers. The pizza here is great. We've tried most of the different types of pizza here, and it is all some of the best pizza in Jersey City, but by far our favorite is the Buffalo Chicken Sicilian. (Sometimes it's very spicy, other times it's not, so just a warning) Other things from here that i personally have tried is the beef patties, cheese fries, garlic knots, all of their hot sandwiches, and some of the pasta dishes. Almost everything I've ever had from here has been delicious, but the reason they lose a star is because the pasta dishes aren't that good. When it comes to pizza and hot sandwiches, other pizza places in Jersey City better step up their game to be able to compete with Pompei. Also the staff/owner are all extremely friendly and make you feel at home whenever you're in there!

Used to eat here when I went to Saint ALS for high school, haven't been there since recently and I could tell you the food choices have expanded for the better, I like the great choices on the counter, still looks the same but different owner and still awesome

Had a pretty decent pizza experience here. Honestly, I really enjoy Park Ave. JC better, though. The pie here was mostly flavorless with the exception of the cheese. Definitely could have used some garlic seasoning or basil in the sauce, like Park Ave. does. Bonus about this place was ordering the Tuesday special, 2 medium (huge) pies for $14.95. Got leftovers for days!

Hours says they close at 10:00pm .... I drive by at 8:45pm and the gate is half way closed and I tried to called them but they don't have the decency to answer the phone. And my son was so excited to try their pizza.

Ordered delivery here. Chicken fingers with FF, garlic bread, and a Large pepperoni pizza. Pizza came a bit cold and it was doughy. Being here a year I am trying all the pizza places and this wasn't my favorite. The chicken fingers were sub par it was the "fake chicken" that was overly priced. Garlic bread was meh and also expensive for a tiny little roll. I'd order here again if I was in a pinch because delivery was quick but definitely wouldn't be my go to.

I ordered a pie of pizza today and delivered a wrong pizza. Instead of exchanging it the guy wanted me to order another pizza and pay for it again. The guy who took my order was very rude and kept on hanging up on me. That wasnt a proper dealing with customers. No manners at all!!! I would never order from that place again!!

I live nearby and order from there regularly. They serve pretty standard pizzeria fare. I typically order wraps or salads. The regular pizzas are probably the least impressive things on the menu. I've had regular (meh), margarita (very bland) and pepperoni (a little better), but the best pie is the grandma pie, hands down. Ordered it for the first time with my last order and it's so buttery and garlicky, and the tomato sauce is on point. If you're going to order a pie, save yourself the disappointment and get the grandma pie. My other recommendation: get an order of the meatballs. You won't regret it. They're so moist and flavorful that I feel guilty and avoid ordering them too often, since I assume it's packed with calories. They're a good pairing for an arugula salad or broccoli though. You won't even miss the pasta!

Penne Vodka is terrible.. tastes like the vodka sauce came straight from a store bought jar. Penne was also over-cooked. No wonder it only took 10 Min to make.

First time ordering from this place. Pizza took an hour and forty min (told it would take 45 min) so obviously it was cold when it arrived. We ordered pepperoni, we got a plain. It's wasn't worth the wait tastewise. And the delivery guy was rude and gave me attitude when I didn't promptly return his "have a good night". That last part was just weird--he was weird. I called and was told we'd get a discount on the next one but we won't be ordering there again.
