TJ's is my go-to pizza house. This occasion was for a tap takeover that customers on their email contact list are notified of a few days in advance. I almost always order the wood-fired Neapolitan Gianelli pizza that has an excellent sauce, sausage, basil and burrata, plus truffle oil and fennel pollen. Amazing flavors and balance. TJ's always has an excellent rotating selection of craft beer on tap. Since it is a small local spot, it has a fairly regular clientele and a lively atmosphere. They are moving to a larger location per a recent email, which is sad as they are close by. Hopefully, the new location (not announced yet that I know of) will also be nearby.
TJ Wood Fire Pizza has a great casual ambiance, perfect for a relaxed meal. Even with how busy it gets, the service is impressively attentive and friendly. And the pizza? Absolutely delicious--fresh ingredients, great flavors, and that perfect wood-fired crust. Definitely worth a visit!
Adrian always helps me whenever I order gluten-free, cheese free pizza. I wanted to try the beer but it's not gluten-free so I'm going to be sober lol. I always come back here for the barbecue chicken gluten-free cheese free pizza because it's so good!
Absolutely love the food, drinks, & casual ambiance here. Great staff. So much nicer than the other local run down pizzerias.
The Neopolitan Stella Pizza (artichoke, sun-dried tomatoes, red bell peppers, red onions, mozzarella, tomato sauce) was good. The sauce was light, and the crust was chewy with charred edges. A great Neopolitan style. They have a big dining area, and a couple tables outside too. Employees were friendly and there was plenty of parking as they're located in a shopping center.
Solid spot for great pizza and beer. They also have a good kids menus. Service is quick and friendly. Small space so great option to eat there or take home.
We are regulars, such good Za and great service! The food came out hot, tasty and full of flavor. Such a great local and customer oriented vibe!
TJ's is a really great pizza joint to go to. We have ordered from them quite a few times and have enjoyed it thoroughly. The service is always great and they prepare your pizza fast. The restaurant has quite a few tables and a cool relaxed vibe. With that being said, my favorite part of the pizza is the cornmeal dough. It is crispy and light and delicious. My only drawback is the toppings. The Brooklyn pizza is amazing, but I felt it was a bit overkill on the toppings. Each slice is loaded and so heavy it needs to be held with both hands! The Quattro was yummy but I feel the cheese needs to be a bit saltier. Both pizzas are great but they are missing something that really creates a balanced pie. I would definitely return again because they have a lot of menu items and I would like to try more!
The wife and I have heard many good things about TJs for some time, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered the NY style pizza with 1/2 cheese and 1/2 pepperoni. All in all it was pretty good. Since we did not eat it right away, we used the oven and a pizza stone to warm the pizza up and that's not really fair to TJs. I will try them again, but will go and eat there. I want to try the pizza with "burn the roof of your mouth" right out of the oven timing. At that point I will update the review and I am sure it will be a much more detailed and fun review. John
