Hickory Tree Pizza

This pizza is addicting. A classic joint with a way of cooking pizza that hasn’t changed for as long as I can remember. Great tasting crust with a simple sauce and excellent cheese. Quick in and out and a nice place to sit if you’ve got a minute.

Best pizza in NJ. Down-to-earth place. You can usually see someone spinning the dough when you walk in. The taste always exceeds expectations. Quality ingredients (cheese, sauce, veggies, etc.) and good prices.

The pizza at Hickory Tree is hands down our family favorite. Thin, chewy crust and generous toppings. We’ve been Orsini from here for years. On our last order we tried the cauliflower pizza crust and we were BLOWN AWAY! So delicious. We could not tell it was cauliflower! It has a nice crunch, chewy, and taste. I can’t stop thinking about this pizza!

This pizza shop services a rural area sorely lacking enough diversity to support the "lingo" in the collection of poor reviews it has been given, by many youthful users as well. As a true customer of Hickory Tree Pizza I can tell you it is the best pizza this side of Chatham/Madison. They may not have every known topping, but that is because they deliver solid pizza at a good price and do not try to be everything to everyone. Their Daily Special (available every day) is two slices and a fountain soda for $4.25 (hardly expensive.) It seems there is always one or two people at the counter eating a Daily Special when I am there. I prefer my pizza fresh from the oven, but they always have some "house pizza" available, or just coming out. I have not had everything from their menu ( a lot of pizza ! ) but my favorite item has been their Calzones. As for the managers (plural as in two brothers) they are hometown, practical and solid. I say this as someone who has called them up and asked if they could deliver food to my kid at a soccer field promising to come in later that night and pay. They assured me, someone they really did not know and could not remember, anytime in the next day or so. When I did pay, they assured me they would do it again if I needed it. Later, when I shared my story with other parents some thought it was cool and others said they had a similar experience. I still felt fortunate but less unique in my luck. As for cleanliness, I too am sensitive to cleanliness. The place is not fancy but I can share that their bathrooms are small and basic but I have never experienced them being dirty smelly or gross, the floor is clean, the cooking area is clean, I have seen them clean the glass every time I am there just before closing. The individuals do not dress up but they have never appeared dirty or I would not eat their food. Hope some folks find this helpful and hopefully the pizza shop I most often frequent for the last four years is not unfairly judged by what can only be fictitious reviews.

The Buffalo chicken pizza is the best I've ever eaten anywhere. That review curve is non-legit, someone had a bad experience for some reason and is A ) posting reviews via fake accounts B ) getting their friends to post. If you had a bad time for a legit reason, try at least writing complete sentences.
