Rizzo Bakery & Pizzeria: Reviews & Ratings
Very good pizza and staff. Will continue to come here for the pizza but the cookies and miniature cannolis are very good as well.
Slices are huge and reminds me of the old Jersey City Pizzerias. Great stop for a slice.
Amazing pizza taste like traditional pizza never changes always perfect the ambience is so welcoming
I love this place! My fiancee and I moved to The Heights from Manhattan and were struggling to find a truly great pizza place. Once we found Rizzo's the search was over. Phenomenal pizza, excellent service, and the old-world atmosphere is a gem. I'd give this more stars if I could. The conversations you hear in Sicilian when you're picking up your pizza add to the ambiance. Rizzo's is great.
a real Italian bakery straight from Salerno, they have fresh bread, hot food and pizza is great!
Great food excellent location highly recommend went there for the holidays to purchase some food and items for a dinner that day very professional and polite. The workers were.
Some of my favorite pizza I've ever had in my life. I have been coming here since I was a kid and the slices have always been big and the crust is perfectly crispy. They also have a deli section with Italian products and really delicious cookies.
That's amore! Run out of ideas to express your love? This heart shaped pizza hit the spot! Friendly customer service all around. You know you've found an authentic Italian pizzeria when you hear the Italian accents all around this shop. I'll definitely be back!
I really like this place! No frills, very authentic. I heard them speaking Italian. Bakery at the front and then you can walk in the back and order pizza, you can ask for any toppings. $3.50 a cheese dice. They are huge and thin and crispy and delicious. I got the Italian cheesecake slice too, $5. Pretty good, I liked the texture and not too sweet. It was a little too lemony though. I can't wait to try the leaf cookies and rainbow cookies I got. There are a couple of tables to eat in there too. I will definitely come back
Came here on a Sunday afternoon while I was in Jersey City. I wanted a quick bite and found this place via Yelp. Read the reviews and saw the pics and wanted to give it a shot and glad I did. Once you enter, there is a bakery in the front and in the back is where the pizza area is at. The place is bright and has an old school bakery vibe to it. Got a plain slice ($3.50) and was surprised how big it was. Pizza was really good and for the price, you cannot beat it. Looking back at the reviews, a slice was $2.75!? The server at the pizza station was very nice. If your in the mood for great pizza for a great price, this is the spot! I will be back for sure to try the cannolis. * indoor dining with several tables * street parking * bathroom available
