Alessio's Cafe
539 Park Ave, Hoboken, NJ
Crema's Take
“This Hoboken spot is a bustling neighborhood favorite where crowds gather on weekend mornings despite the inevitable wait, suggesting there's real appeal beneath the surface chaos. The pizza and sandwiches draw loyal repeat customers, though quality seems to swing wildly depending on the day and what you order, making each visit feel a bit like a gamble. It's the kind of independent place with genuine local following rather than polished execution—worth trying if you're in the area and have patience for inconsistency.”

They need to teach these people how to make pizza. Clean the oven and make it with some love. No plates no napkins greasy as hell no taste. Honestly for the money you are better off throwing some moz on some sliced bread with some sauce and calling it a day.
We went on a Sunday morning so it was astronomically busy, but the food was worth it. We waited 30 minutes for our to-go order, but it was expected when we saw how many people were inside. We also assumed if all those people were willing to wait then the food would speak for itself. It definitely did. I ordered a gluten free breakfast wrap and it was easily the best gluten free wrap I’ve ever had out. My husband had the Hoboken girl sandwich on sourdough. His smelled impeccable. If we were Hoboken natives we’d eat here far too often lol. I think we’ll be making the trip back for sure though. We might just order ahead.
I ordered a cheese pizza and they basically just sent me cheese. The pizza dough is not even 1 cm. Yes I measured it when you pick up the pizza the cheese and sauce literally slide right off of it. I paid $13 for this
I have lived in the area for years and have ordered from here many times. The food is decent but it is very inconsistent. I ordered the Milano and the sandwich is basically all bread and cheese…way too skimpy on the turkey, there’s basically one slice. It’s tough to order here when you never know what you’re going to get
After a busy day sightseeing in NYC we wanted something quick and easy to eat. Did a quick search on Google Maps and found this little gem. We ordered the 16” Alessio Special Pizza to take away and it was one of the best pizzas we’ve eaten. They also sell pizza by the slice and have a great selection of cakes which we also sampled! Really recommend this place and if we’re weren’t heading back to England in a day or two we’d be eating here again!
