Pizzeria Las Americas
301 8th St, Jersey City, NJ
Crema's Take
“While Pizzeria Las Americas serves up genuinely excellent pizza with a standout crust and dough that locals rave about, the real magic here is the warmth of the chef and staff who make every visit feel like a neighborhood gathering. Beyond the pizza, their cannolis are a revelation—crispy, filled with care, and worth making a special trip for on their own. This is the kind of Jersey City spot where friendly service and honest, affordable food create the perfect informal meeting place.”

Friendly, affordable and good local pizza
I really enjoy their pasta dishes and hero sandwiches.
The pizza here is really good. Even the dough and crust was really good. This will be my new spot for pizza and calzones. Also the chef is super nice.
Had pizza from TGTG for pick up, it was okay, but I am sure ordering a fresh pie will taste much better. Very friendly staff. I would try again.
Ordered a pizza and cannolis for take out. Pizza is good and enjoyed but the surprise star is the cannolis!! I make it my business to try all the cannolis I come across and they all have a high standard from a particular Italian bakery (out of state) I have been going to for years to live up to. This is the first place I have been where the cannolis are better than that gold standard, better than any I have had at nice restaurants in jersey or nyc and better than other takeout cannolis in the area. Not only were they filled to order which is a requirement but the shells were super fresh and when my husband asked why the order was taking a while they said they were making the shells to order as well. The shells were light and crunchy, not greasy or heavy at all. The filling was perfect and had good flavor, correct smooth texture with chocolate chips but was slightly less sweet than I have had at some other places which I thought was part of what made it excellent. That was balanced with a healthy portion of powdered sugar on top. So get some pizza but you definitely have to SAVE ROOM FOR THE CANNOLIS!!
