Dozzino

Not sure how people could rate this place anything but 5 stars because I think this is one of the best spots in Hoboken. I found this place on Unilocal when I first moved here and probably have come back about fifteen times with lots of different people who have all loved my choice. I would have never found it since it is not on a main road in Hoboken. Thanks Unilocal!
Firstly, the pizza is amazing and the place is BYOB. They have unique pizza specials and I like that they are personal sized so everyone can get what they want or you can try a bunch.
Secondly, the ambience is amazing inside but even better, they have the best outside patio! Not sure how there is no pictures yet, I am going to add one. It has a beautiful tree with lights!
It’s a great date spot or place to hang with your friends, and the BYOB makes it easy on the wallet. One thing I would like to see is a much better appetizer menu, they barely have anything and my friends and I love to order starters and usually don’t here because of the lack of choice.
Amazing place overall!

When it comes to artisan pizza, I’m picky. I’ve had Zonnis in Red Bank, NJ and Domenicas in NOLA to compare it too (some of the best pizza I’ve had).
My friends and I went on a Saturday night. We ordered bruschetta which was just bland and fuzzy, grainy cherry tomatoes doused in olive oil and a few stands of basil. which was served with 6 pieces of such bite size bread it could’ve been mistook for croutons.
We also ordered the Umberto pizza and Spinach pizza — 2 pizzas were enough for 3 people. Both of them were salty and not by any means exceptional. They were mediocre coal oven fired pies that I wouldn’t particularly go back to eat.
Overall service was fine and food was just fine.

I almost don’t want to post another review on this place because I don’t want it to get any more crowded, but now that the outside seating is open I guess I can share. All the pizza has been amazing, but get the prosciutto & honey special if it’s on the board. And bring wine, lots of wine. My only quarrel with this place is the charming artisanal tables – they’re built a bit high for the charming mismatched chairs, and if you’re short it’s a bit awkward

I usually don’t right bad review later but after tonight’s food I thought they deserved one.
This isn’t my first time eating there but it will definitely be my last. When I went to pick it up around 730 the restaurant was empty, it used to be crowded, this should have been a sign to me. I picked up two pies to take home. Maybe they tried to pull a fast one over on us since we did takeout. So we got the Diavlo, it was eh, the dough was burnt and pretty chewy and there was hardly any cheese. The Bianco was even worse. They basically charged us $ 14 for crispy dough and some basil leaves… where were the three cheeses that were supposed to be on it?!
I highly recommend you pick one of the better pizza places in Hoboken, there are so many!

Me and Wife were starving .I was running tight on time because we needed to be on road early the next morning, but I had to make sure I had my hair cut 1^st. Luckly and conveniently across the street from where I get my haircuts from is this gem. The pizza I had was all I ever wanted and more. Can just tell it was made with love and fresh ingredients. Here’s the kicker it byob too! I will be back.

I’ve heard so many great things about Dozzino since I’ve moved to Hoboken and finally decided it to give it a try. FYI — I am a huge lover of pizza. My fiancé (who has been there before) and I went on a Thursday… we were seated immediately. Anyways, we ordered the mixed green salad with the apple cider vinaigrette, and to be honest, I think the greens were a little rancid. We also ordered the bruschetta, which didn’t have much flavor, the only thing I could taste was salt, a lot of salt. We ordered two pies — the Diavola, which was pretty good and the Bianco, which tasted like nothing but salt. Overall, I was not impressed. I’ve heard so many people talk about how great the pizza is, so maybe we were just there on an off night. I’d like to give this place another shot, maybe in the summer, with a group when the backyard is open and we can play bocci ball. One thing I did like was the fact that it was a BYOB.

I really don’t understand the hype. Neither the atmosphere nor the food was rave-​worthy last Friday. There was a large group inside who let six or so of their little kids run around screaming outside with only the supervision of an elderly inebriated relative who communicated by screaming as well. It was very loud and unpleasant to sit at the outdoor tables.
But I was still expecting great artisanal pizza based on all the rave reviews. Boy was I disappointed (artisanal my ass). The sauce tasted like it came from a can, with nothing added to it. The crust wasn’t great either, probably one of those pre-​made frozen jobbies.
The place is good for families with screaming kids. Everyone else avoid. Pizza expensive yet cheaply made and bland. Ambience non-​existent. Waiters very nice though.

Fresh ingredients, quick service and friendly staff… this hidden gem I’m Hoboken deserves a sixth star for authenticity. Having travelled to Italy and tasted what the Europeans had to offer I must admit I am still drawn to Dozzino… if you’re looking for some advise it goes as follows: get there asap, order one of everything, share with your friends and pick your favorite. After that return again and again… it’s not the easiest place to find among all the other spots in hoboken but the exploration to 6^th and Adams is definitely worth the effort.

It took me so long to get here but so glad I finally tasted a slice of heaven…
Aaahh I crack myself up. ANYWAY, came in with a friend to play catch up and she just so happens to know the owner so as soon as we sit down (inside unfortunately, because there were no tables outside) he tells us he is working on a wing recipe and gives us a plate to try. Delish little perk of knowing the right people ;) I ordered La Roma which is a margarita topped with Sopressata my friend had the Hot Onion, which is on the specials menu. It’s a little odd that the specials menu is more extensive than the regular menu, buuuut from what I understand the specials don’t change too often so it’s more of like a Part 2 situation. I wanted to try a couple of the specials but I am partial to a Red pie, and the majority of the ones that sounded good are white pies. I can eat a slice of a white pie, but not an entire one so that was a bit of a bummer. When the pizzas came out 10 – 15 minutes later, I was so surprised by the amount of fluff! The dough was so light and airy, it had risen so much. I very much enjoyed every bite of this pie. Still could have used a little more sauce for my taste, but all the flavors were on point.
This is a great hang out or date night spot. BYO and gentle on the bank account. Can’t wait to come back and try some of the other pies and crostini.

The pizza was pretty good and the vibe was nice. They have a cool outdoor area with a bocce ball green. I got what was basically a pepperoni pizza which was small. That cost me $ 18 which seemed pricey but it is BYOB which cuts down on the cost. The dough on the pizza was good but overall the pizza was just ok. The place was actually pretty crowded and we waited 10 – 15 minutes for 2. It was a little noisy and the music choice was all over the place but I didn’t mind it.

Burnt pizza. That’s my main issue with this place. I would order once a week if they would not burn the pizza dough on a regular basis. Considering Coal is considered a carcinogenic in the Group 1 category, I am not a fan.
I wonder how do they manage to burn it so bad all the time? Too bad, because I like the ingredients they use. I hoped they would fix their oven, or their technique over time, or they would clean the oven more often, but no, nothing changed. This place should be named The Burnt Pizza Place.
Please don’t review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you’re connected in any way to the owner or employees.

Congrats to Dozzino for their high ranking for best pizza in NJ on
, which they absolutely deserved. Their pizza is by far the best in town. The freshly made dough is crisped up in the brick oven with a little doughiness in the crust. My favorite is the diavolo. The owner does an excellent job of sourcing local, fresh ingredients. If something is out of stock, there’s a good reason!

This pizzeria had some fresh flavor a and inventive pizzas, but a fan of the attitude from the staff.
I liked the assortment of pizzas that were available: regular menu then invented pizzas and then specials. I shared with a friend the special while pizza with Brussel sprouts, caramelized onions and prosciutto ends. I will say that the ingredients worked well but I thought the pizza was a little dry and could have used some more cheese.
We also tried the special pepperoni rolls which tasted good but only had one very thin slice of pepperoni in a huge roll of pizza dough. Let’s not be so cheap with the meat!
And lastly we got the salad which was a mix of greens with an apple vinaigrette. It was nice to have some greens but why only the choice of one salad and no other toppings?
Now the only thing I thought ruined what would have been a 4 star rating was the wait staff was absentminded and slow. I also thought the waiter was just snippy and not that friendly. I know everyone has their days so that’s why the above avg rating.
All in all, I would be inclined to try again.

BYOB!
A nice little pizzeria in Hoboken.
There’s seating in the front, back, and outside. Outside would definitely be nice during the summer time. On a Thursday night, they closed the back dining area and only had seating in the front. It was still somewhat busy for a Thursday late evening. Service was good. We were not rushed at all, and they didn’t care if diners stayed a bit longer to finish their BYO wine.
Pizza ($ 14):
Spinach & Artichoke: I thought it was a bit bland and just OK
Diavolo: Definitely my favorite! It’s a bit spicy with calabrese salami on top
Overall, it’s an OK pizza place.

Pizza and hoboken are 2 things that fit together seamlessly.
Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for Dozzinos.
The atmosphere is welcoming, rustic and authentic. However, that’s where the good things end.
They have run out of garlic and mozzarella while we were here. The pizza is dry and bland and could be argued it isn’t much of a pizza at all.
It is best for a group of girls with smaller appetites looking for a neighborhood BYOB.

Great pizza but the staff is very snobby, slow, and when you walk in they act like you should be grateful to be let in.
Also I once ordered a salad and it was literally weeds that you could pick off the sidewalk. For the price it was absolutely not worth it.

Let’s just say I love the place. You feel like you are just relaxing at a café in Italy. I used to live in hoboken not too far from here and miss it very much! When I visit friends in hoboken now I always suggest this place. We each bring a bottle of wine (as its BYOB) and casually order pizza and salads and just relax and catch up.
The pizzas are always good and the vibe is great too. Its fun to sit at the communal table in the back and make new friends too… and see what they order. My all time fave is the Diablo, and the off the menu order, Uncle Leo. Whenever they have their Brussel sprout pizza that’s on the list too. The salads are also always fresh and delicious as well.
Go early to ensure you get a table! In the warmer months the outside is also great.

This place truly stands out to me, because there is a lack of good pizza in Hoboken. At Dozzino they have traditional «Italian style» pizza. Came here on a Friday night, it was pretty crowded. They have a front room and back room, it felt a little drafty in the back room, but the BYOB allows you to warm up with a nice glass of wine!
The special for the night was a rice ball and I must admit, it was not very good. It had zero taste, but the presentation was nice a nice touch. The lack of taste with our appetizer was quickly made up when our pizzas came out. Super fresh, piping hot, and flavorful. I ordered the plain pizza, but my boyfriend had one with egg and spinach on it. See the menu for yourself, there are plenty of unique options to choose from. I will definitely be returning in the future!

Great pizza and unique (so the pizza would give four stars). Had the margherita, my favorite. However the bean salad and greens salad were both uneatable. Bean salad with undercooked beans and greens salad underwhelming with just some washed lettuce greens which could be ok if great greens and great dressing but didn’t like the dressing either.
The pizza however was great: fresh homemade mutz and perfect equally fresh homemade tomato sauce, and love the wood oven stove applied to a thicker deep dish-​like crust (which is not greasy) creating a fluffy deep dish pizza if that makes any sense.

I don’t know much about pizza, let alone ARTISANAL pizza, skeptical but cautiously optimistic, I ventured into Dozzino after a relaxing massage near-​by.
The space is relatively small with approximately 10 tables big and small, high ceilings and modern finishing gives it that «artisan» feel. We were greeted informally by the shop owner who simply waved in the general direction of where we would sit. (He’s too cool for school apparently). We chose the brushetta (tomato and basil), DINO (tomato and mortadella) pizza, and the nutella bread pudding. My favorite was definitely the pizza, the dough not too thin and not too thick, fresh sauce and meat couldn’t be beat (any rhyming here is completely unintentional, but makes me smile). The brushetta was very fresh, but I probably wouldn’t get it again because it taste almost TOO much like home made ones (chopped tomatos, olive oil and basil on dried up bread) so paying the $ 5 felt excessive. The bread pudding dessert was disappointing as we did not taste any nutella flavors and it sat in a mini cast iron soaked in melted butter. Even at 6 months pregnant, I couldn’t justify the calories nor was the dish worth the calories.
Bottom line: Come here for good pizza (skip the appetizer and dessert), easy dining without sacrificing quality and décor.
