Johnny Pepperoni

Good Pizza, Great atmosphere and service.

Get the deep dish pepperoni pizza – you will not be disappointed. I’ve never had a better pizza in my life. Better yet, it’s BYOB! Perfect place for a group of friends!

Excellent red sauce joint. 4.5 stars. The chicken parm plate I got was delicious, the girl got a chicken piccata plate and it was just as good. A level up from your average pizza joint fare, even reminded me of my family’s home cooked style, and can you really get any higher praise than that?
A bit busy and hectic on a Friday night, but that’s what happens when you serve good food at good prices. Everything came out fast, and we even split some desserts. The graham cracker gelato was out of this world, and the zeppoli were tasty too, although a little underdone in the middle. I dig the classic red checkered tablecloths and you gotta love any place that’s BYOB. Definitely on the short list for a return visit sooner than later, gotta try the pizza next!

Tonight at 7:45pm is the THIRD (3x) time they can’t get an order right — I order the same thing each time «1x Square Deep Pepperoni Pie» and the last three (3x) times they try and give me a Large Round Pepperoni Pie $ 17.
Worst was today, I asked the hostess on the phone to read it back and quote me the higher $ 22+ price. So after waiting an hour, I refused this pie when they tried to pawn off the large round pie for $ 17 or wait another 30 minutes for them to remake the order.
This happened in October and November where I begrudgingly paid and took their pizza mishaps.
Really, how hard is it to get an order right that’s your actual restaurant name?!? Your excuses were old the second time, let alone third time!

Pizza is very good. Good crust. Good sauce and cheese ratio and the pepperoni and sausage toppings at first rate! Unfortunately they don’t deliver to our town. But we always pick up. Definitely recommend. One of the best in Hoboken.

Everybody loves this place and I can’t figure out why. It’s just ok thus my choice of 3 stars.
Pizza was ok. Calamari wasn’t bad. Only saving grace was that it’s a BYOB

Totally fantastic food and warm, friendly authentic Italian atmosphere. We walked in and the place was super full, but they kindly offered to let us sit at the bar and have a glass of the wine we had brought (it’s BYOB). The table was ready quickly and the food was absolutely delicious. I had the pesto with nuts and the spaghetti was cooked to al-​dente perfection. The sauce was simply spectacular! The portions are huge so
I was able to take home half for the next day’s lunch too. Such a great place, highly recommend!

This awesome family style italian spot has become our neighborhood favorite. Staff is excellent — primarily the two mainstay waiters — and the food is consistently great. The pizza, veal marsala, meatballs, mushroom salad, arugula salad, fried calamari — all terrific. The atmosphere is really laid back and its byob. We eat here at least once a week, bring a bottle of red and sample the menu, everything is great, and the specials usually rock.

Excellent pizza and the staff is always attentive and friendly. Best pizza in Hoboken.

As a chicken parm snob it’s hard to impress me. But this is by far top 5 I’ve ever had. Amazing pizzas very creative also Prob the best is hoboken. It Can take a little long sometimes but that’s the only flaw.

The BEST pizza in Hoboken hands down. We always go for the Square pie with Pepperoni, the crust is crispy and delicious as it is basically fried in olive oil. Their sauce is also better than most in Hoboken. Comes fast, usually 20 minutes. Can’t go wrong with Johnny Pepperonis!

Have been here multiple times, with just my boyfriend and with large parties of 8 – 10, and have loved each visit!
BYOB is always fun with a group, especially with no corking fee. Their pizza is also AMAZING and reasonably priced. We love both the regular and square pies, and always make sure to get a chicken parm or pepperoni pie!
Their wait staff is very friendly and attentive. They do get busy by 6, and do not take reservations, but will accept call-​aheads. Once we were waiting for 30 – 40 minutes, and they brought us bread and opened our wine bottles while we were waiting outside.
This is one of our «go-​to» restaurants in Hoboken, whether with our families (with young kids) or our 25 year old friends. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an authentic family pizzeria!

From the exterior, the restaurant looks fancy. Upon stepping inside, I was surprised that the actual vibe is more «family restaurant» due to those red-​and-​white checkered table cloths. Still, I wasn’t looking for an upscale meal anyway so it was just fine.
The biggest surprise of the night was not the pizza but how awesome the chicken wings are. Actually, our server made a mistake and brought us buffalo wings instead of the BBQ that we requested. This was honestly a great mistake because the buffalo wings were the best wings I’ve had in a long time.
If you see it on the specials list, you *have* to get the wings. They aren’t your dinky freshman 25-​cent special Applebee’s wings from college. They’re more like the «REAL TALK, AMERICANS DO EVERYTHING BIGGER» wings. And they are awesome. (God Bless America.) and so, so delicious. If I need to convince you anymore, they are even making the blue cheese sauce from scratch. That shit was even more delicious. BLEU CHEESE™.
Pizza was ok.

First off, let me say that we love Johnny Pep’s. When you eat there, it’s an awesome BYOB & get great service. We recently moved right outside of Hoboken where they don’t deliver anymore. not a problem, we pick it up now. Take out is completely opposite of dining there. The first time, fine, no big deal. The second time, this is annoying. Third time, we called. Tonight. we made sure to check the salads before we left, (& got them fixed) but I forgot to check the pizza. But should I really have to?
Not only do you get hung up on mid-​order, but the simple order process is terrible. Why are you asking me if I need chicken on a chicken Cesar salad? And yet, they forgot to put it on the salad anyway! I checked that there so they added it. But the dressing wasn’t Cesar! The pizza, half chicken parm and half sausage. well they put them together on the whole pie. yes chicken parm/​sausage on the pizza. We gave it a try, it’s not a good combo.
We called and spoke to the manager RICH, stated first off we love the place and the food, but EVERY time we order there’s some issue with our food never being correct. No matter how many times we tried to diffuse this guy, he kept arguing with us, so we wished him a good night and hung up.
The manager and take out staff definitely needs to wake up and start paying attention because there is nothing wrong with the food. We love the place, but we might have to start finding a new pizza place because we couldn’t eat anything of the $ 47 order (two salads and a pizza).
Posting these pics because apparently we’re wrong (said the manager).
Do yourself a favor, either go there or double check your ENTIRE order. Good luck Johnny Pep’s, you lost a frequent customer.

Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.
For some dumb reason I went back to this well and got even worse results. I decided to cater my office lunch and learn from this joint. Now my keys to a good catering job is punctuality, communication and good food. While JP has great pizza they are terribly managed. The food was over 45 min late and what’s worst is I kept being told that it was 5 min away.
I’ll never ever cater or eat here again.

Spacious outdoor seating, solid pizza.
The square pie is my favorite: mozzarella, tomato sauce, fresh basil, garlic, olive oil. Our server asked me if I wanted extra garlic and as a garlic lover I obviously said yes. Server was friendly and attentive.

Place was super yummy!
Great and friendly staff
Originally called for takeout which was a 45 minute wait. Ended up walking over with wine and asking to eat it in restaurant, very accommodating.
Pizza was a good size for two, great sauce, amazing crust and BYOB is always a plus!
Got spinach, sausage, onion thin crust pizza.
Would definitely come back!

OMG! I’m sitting here with a full belly and a huge smile on my face! I have lots of food allergies, so I’m skeptical about trying new places. My allergies and dietary restrictions also make it difficult for my husband to take me on a surprise dinner date. Well, tonight he surprised me with Johnny Pepperoni, (after much research), and he, (nor Johnny P.), disappointed. The service, atmosphere, and food were amazing! I had the chicken piccata, which is my favorite, and it was so good! I wanted to eat it all and lick the plate! My husband had the shrimp and tortellini special, and he was chewing so loudly that I couldn’t hear the music. The portions are big, and the complimentary bread is very yummy.
In the south, the mark of a good meal is how sleepy everyone is after. Well, it feels like it should be lights out for the both of us! This place is great! I recommend it to anyone that wants great food and great service. You will not be disappointed!
They have indoor and outdoor seating. On-​street parking. They also make delicious looking pizzas!

A great spot in Hoboken– nice location and outdoor seating when the weather is nice. I’ve been here a bunch of times and the food and service is consistently good. Whenever I go, I always seem to have Dominic as a server who is very knowledgable about the menu and also very personable, which makes the experience at JP even more enjoyable.
I’ve had almost all of the pizzas and they are all phenomenal. Another favorite dish of mine is the linguine with pesto, shrimp, and walnuts pasta. so good! My friend’s boyfriend had the chicken parm and said it was awesome– perfect amount of ingredients.
On my most recent visit, we ordered the barbecue wings and burrata appetizers which were specials for the night. Both were delicious, however slightly overpriced. 13 dollars for 10 barbecue wings? A little steep. but I’ll let it slide for the deliciousness of the food. Also, there always seems to be a lot of screaming children at this place. Tip: Come later when it’s past the kids’ bedtimes. :)

Enjoyed Johnny Pepperoni’s more than I had anticipated!
We dined around 8pm on a Friday night and were lucky enough to get seated right away at a table for four. The service was very good and fast. It’s BYOB so that’s a plus. Was a little unimpressed by the «wine glasses» which are actually just small juice glasses but that’s not worthy of losing a star!
For an appetizer we had the Cherry Tomato and Ricotta Bruschetta which was really good. It’s basically a cherry tomato sliced a couple times with ricotta cheese and bread. Different than the traditional bruschetta but I really liked it. For an entrée I had the Eggplant Parmigiana which came in an individual skillet and was layers of thinly sliced (not too thin) eggplant with great sauce and a good amount of mozzarella cheese. Great Eggplant Parm!
Definitely hope to try the pizzas next time around!
