Big slices, small prices

After a week of enduring greasy pizza at various events, my stomach had enough. Some may call me picky, but when it comes to pizza, I’m vouching for a slice that is fresh, flavorful, and worthy of the spotlight. In the buzzing pizza scene of Hoboken, there are plenty of contenders, but none stand out quite as much as Pizza Republic, offering huge, delicious slices of pizza. They do not skimp on portion sizes; a single slice of pizza is so big that it comes on two plates. Whether you want a quick bite between classes or to share a meal with a friend, Pizza Republic’s pizza is guaranteed to satisfy your cravings. One thing that sets Pizza Republic apart from the competition is that they offer an impressive variety, such as their Indian-inspired options like Chicken Tikka Pizza and Paneer Vegetable Pizza, adding a delectable sense of diversity to the menu. This unique pizza reminds us that sometimes it’s the options that blend heritage and innovation that stand out. The price is incredible too, especially compared to other spots in town, and it gets even better — they have a generous student discount of 10%! Looking for a better deal? Pizza Republic’s lunchtime specials are a steal – for eight dollars, you get two deluxe slices of pizza and a drink or a wrap and a side for about $8.94. If you opt for cheese pizza instead of the deluxe pizzas then it’s just six dollars. These offers are up until 4 p.m. if you order online on weekdays so be sure to secure their amazing offers. Affordability is always a key factor for students, and Pizza Republic understands that, with big slices that come without the big price tags.

Pizza Republic also nails the atmosphere entirely. The woody, cozy ambiance creates an inviting space, making it the ideal spot to relax; it’s the kind of place you want to settle into on a rainy day, devouring a warm, toasty slice of pizza. Even on a warm summer day, it is the best opportunity to sit outside under a massive umbrella, blocking the sun, and enjoy your pizza while watching the people of Hoboken go about their day. For people like me and my friend, who often struggle with directions even with Google Maps, Pizza Republic was easy to find thanks to its proximity to other popular restaurants. If stepping out is not an option, tap your phone for a quick Grubhub order. 

The pizza arrives hot, reheats perfectly, and still feels like a fresh slice from the oven. The best part of the pizza is the long cheese pull between every delicious bite. Customers also praised their Indian-style Paneer Pizza, mentioning its well-balanced and fresh toppings. I can attest to the crispness of the crust. As for the fries, they were generously portioned and came smothered in melted cheese and savory bacon. For those who need their pizza fix quickly, the low waiting time means you will not be stuck waiting in line for long. 

It’s a trustworthy place that offers fast, reliable, and flavorful service, and the staff creates a welcoming atmosphere. For Stevens students, Pizza Republic checks all the boxes: affordable, mouthwatering, and incredibly convenient. Whether you’re sitting inside their humble, inviting restaurant or opting for delivery, Pizza Republic makes it easy to satisfy your cravings without spending too much money. From classic cheese to enticing Indian-inspired options, Pizza Republic is determined to win your vote over other Hoboken pizza places.
