Jersey’s Tomato Pies and Bistro

Just ordered take out from this place and it was great! Let me disclose that I was raised is Jersey so when you day Jersey food it better love up to its name. Wings were cooked perfectly and not overly breaded. My husband got a sub and he said it tasted like it was from home (Jersey). Haven’t tried their pizza yet but definitely will next Sunday.

What a difference new ownership makes!
Last time I was in this shop it was a different pizzeria that touted its alleged New York City ties. In fact, the pizza had no resemblance to something from the Big Apple. One visit was more than enough. That place is now history.
What replaced it is another animal all together! Jersey’s Tomato Pies (and Bistro) actually knows what it is doing. It turns out a very reasonable facsimile of authentic Trenton Tomato Pie, complete with super thin crust, quality Mozza base and chunky/​sweet Tomato Sauce. It was quite good, and my newly arrived foreign guests were treated to their first pizza that required no apologies. They were very impressed and devoured our Sweet Italian Sausage Pie without much comment beyond satisfying grunts and big amazement eyes.
Thank you, JTP&B for a cultural experience my Chinese guests will remember for a lifetime.
Now, to reach the 5 star apex achievement, only a little tweeking is needed. The center of the pie was a little damp, making the lifting of a slice problematic as the cheese/​tomato/​sausage mix could not be picked up by the crust, but needed to be slid onto our plates and folded back onto the drier part of each wedge. Removing more of the water from the tomato and slightly longer time in the oven to harden the doughy center, might solve this.
Small nit is true, but when you come so close to perfection why not work to move the needle as far as it can go?

Great meal. Thank you fellow Unilocalers! The homemade balsamic salad dressing was awesome. Hubby loved the oil and pesto for the bread. I had the vegetarian eggplant rollatini. It was delicious. Eggplant was crisp. The spinach was fresh, and the ricotta and mozzarella were perfect. Hubby had the veal parm with, as he described it, the best garlic and oil pasta he’s ever had. I should also mention, our server, Jackie, is a huge asset to the business. Gave us a take out menu, told us about delivery and catering. Awesome!
First time at Jersey’s, but it won’t be the last.

Found this place purely by accident. It’s turned into a perfect accident. We had the fig pizza. It was a daily special but hopefully it stays on the menu. It was sweet, savory, thin, crusty, and fantastic!!! The polenta appetizer was amazing. His bollegnese sauce was great. And even though they only had 2 waitresses they managed to take the time to make sure we had everything we needed. Thanks Jack and Jackie! We will be back! A lot!

The tomato pie is SO GOOD! We also had the chicken and portobello salad, which was yummy. The gentleman at the front counter was really nice and took time to show us all of the pizza slice offerings. The waitress in the back was friendly but was never in the dining room, so I had to get my own high chair and my own box for leftovers. I was told she was still in training. One of the high chairs was really really sticky. I probably wouldn’t eat in the dining room again, but we’ll defiantly be back for tomato pie to go!

First off, service was perfect (Valerie) and the menu is vast — featuring all the classics you would expect at a pizza, pasta, sandwich family restaurant… but then — there are «bistro-​esque» small plate offerings like fig crostini and white bean brushetta to add interest.
I have antipasto chopped salad that was tasty and my son had chicken parm panini which was more like a hoagie. He liked the sandwich although he prefers more sauce. His crinkle cut french fries — I don’t think I have ever seen them served in a restaurant north of the Mason Dixon line — were phenomenal! Go figure!
Pizza was good, but not my favorite pizza ever, but I can see how so many people like it.

I tried this pizza place for the first time yesterday because my wife wanted a Sicilian tomato pie. When I called to order, the girl asked if I wanted regular tomato sauce or the chunky tomato sauce. I asked which was better and she replied that chunky was best. She said dollops of sauce are placed all over the square pie and I asked for extra sauce so that the entire pie was covered with it. I am glad I did because when I opened the pizza upon arriving at home, the smell and appearance of the pie was incredible! I could not stop eating it. The combination of the dough, cheese and great sauce was magical. We finally have a really really really good pizza place in our living area and I cannot wait to try the other menu options that are offered here as well!!! 10 out of 10 in my opinion. Great job!

EXTREMELY rude and abrasive owner. I went here a few weeks ago with my girlfriend. We had a coupon we tried to use, but were then told we couldn’t use it because the owner wasn’t there. So we left and came back another day. Who doesn’t accept a coupon because the owner’s not there? Seemed pretty weird to us. I didn’t expect being rejected for trying to use a coupon.
When we did come in a few days later and actually used the coupon THAT WE PAID FOR (couldn’t refund it), the owner gave us nasty looks and just seemed disgusted to have us as paying customers in his store. Left a bad taste in my mouth when he did it at her right in front of me. I would have walked out right then and there if it wasn’t for the coupon, but I didn’t want to ruin our night so I just brushed it off. We definitely won’t be coming back.
We had a mushroom and spinach pie. The pie was lazy, tasted like old mushrooms and canned tomatoes. When I asked for a refill for my drink, the waitress told me she was busy and she’d come back, which would have been fine if it didn’t take 15 minutes. The place didn’t seem THAT busy.
Food is very overpriced, and quality is average. Not worth the money at all. At other restaurants you get the same (or better) quality and amount of food for ²⁄₃ the price. The average dish here sells for $ 20+. You can find better for $ 12-​$ 18 at most other places.

Jersey’s has become our favorite local spot for pizza and traditional Italian food. We used to drive to Trenton or beyond for good pizza but there is simply no need to do that any longer. Their Brooklyn Pie, although more representative of Trenton style, is actually better than some pizza that I have had in Brooklyn, including Grimaldi’s. Their cheesesteaks rival some of the best in Philadelphia – amazing seeded rolls. And their traditional Italian meals are just what you would hope for – nice size portions, perfectly cooked pasta, and well balanced with cheese and deliciously seasoned sauce. Their baked ziti is hard to beat. The service is also friendly and attentive. Easily the best of Bucks.

2 stars for effort… We have ordered take out several times with the quality and accuracy of the order going downhill each time. While they try hard, the quality and consistency is just not there. The tomato pies are good; the wraps and entrees could stand improvement. With such a large amount of competition locally and a location that is a proven loser; the over/​under says vacant by July

We ordered take out and were told 40 min. Exactly 40 min later we picked up a freezing cold pizza, half pepperoni and what was supposed to have been half sausage except 2 slices were just cheese. Also we ordered buffalo wings with ranch instead of blue cheese and got dried out wings with no sauce and blue cheese instead of ranch. Highly disappointed!

Very nice surprise! We were looking for a place to quench a craving for eggplant rolitini. Wow were we shocked how good this place is. We started with a nice bowl of spinach egg drop tortellini soup. I had the chicken parm. What was nice was the fact that it had just enough crispy and just enough cheesy. The tomato sauce with plum tomatoes was fresh and tasty. My wife enjoyed her eggplant. The knots, bread and oil were a nice touch and the server was attentive and friendly. Overall a great experience, we can’t wait to return!

We called an order in and it was 15 minutes past our pickup time. The staff and manager blamed it on the ordering system. The owner assured us it was a busy Friday and would not happen again. However, we tried again a few months later and had a similar experience. The food was decent, but they really need to understand how to run a restaurant and meet expected times.
We will most likely never eat there again.

I’ve been waiting a very long time to find a decent tomato pie near me. Not only is this good tomato pie for being west of Trenton, it’s one of the best tomato pies I’ve ever had.
They make the sauce just to my liking, which is to say very sweet. Hefty chunks of stewed tomatoes sit atop a well baked crust. I typically dislike thin crust, but this thin crust is both authentic and tasty. It acts like a pizza crust, not a saltine cracker. The flavors and textures all work very well together.
I’m crazy about their tomato pie. I plan on ordering it many times and that garnered this establishment five stars. However, their fries are very mediocre. I personally plan only to stick to pizzas, and never order the fries again, so take from that what you will.
I was hesitant to try this place but I’m grateful I did, their tomato pie is out of this world.

The original Jesery Tomato Pie awesome. Don’t know why people give this place anything but 5 stars. Well I did a take out and pizza was amazing. Don’t know about the restaurant service.

This was our first time here and they were very generous. We ordered the artichoke appetizer, which was delicious, but after we placed the order we changed our mind and wanted a small tomato pie for app. We felt bad that the chef already started to cook the artichokes however the chef gave us 2 slices of the tomato pizza for free. Pizza, artichoke appetizer and pesto for the bread were delicious.
My wife got their Veal Sicilian. The portion was very nice, but veal was a little tough. I ordered the Tilapia special which was pretty good.
Both dishes came with a soup or salad. We both ate the ceasar salad (not great). Maybe next time will get house salad or try soup.
Their homemade canoli are pretty good too.
I believe we would come back and or start ordering take out pizza and sandwiches from them.
Service was very good. Girls were very nice and helpful

Wonderful surprise. We both got chicken entrees. They were excellent. The bread brought to our table before dinner was sinful. As good as any dessert. Good service. This was a first visit but will definitely not be our last

I have to say I really really wanted this to be a good review, and have tried a good few items on the menu because I figured that everyone has a bad day once in a while. Unfortunately, I can’t do it.
I will say the tomato pie and the vegetarian rolotini have been the highlights. Both are very good. The owner is great. Seems like a nice guy, wants to do well.
The bad? Most of the rest of the food we tried. The wraps were soggy and I couldn’t get through the buffalo chicken wrap I had. Please make this a fried chicken wrap. It would solve its issues. Just don’t fry it to death as you did the chicken parm, or over cook it as you did the grilled salmon. We like the mozz sticks, but I’m willing to be they’re frozen — we just happen to like those as they’re not greasy.
The concept is good. You get a lot of food (actually probably too much). People would pay the same for less volume but very well cooked food.
If you’re looking for a good tomato pie, this could be your place, other than that it depends on what you get.

Horrible and overpriced. The wings were soggy and didn’t come with celery or blue cheese. The mozzarella sticks were soggy. The «taco pizza» was a disgusting mess. Cheese whiz, barely any meat, olives, and unripe tomatoes. The delivery guy must be a wannabe NASCAR driver because half the greasy pizza toppings slid off and shifted in the 5 minute drive to get to my house. I can’t really describe how disappointing our simple order was. Biggest waste of forty dollars I’ve ever spent. This place sucks.

Great new place in Pheasant Valley shopping center. Been there 3 times. Had pizza, sandwiches and shrimp special. Awesome place. Will be back again.
