Fantastic brunch. Best pancakes in Jersey City. Their cocktails are top notch and they are thoughtful about people with kids. The service is warm and extremely friendly. Highly recommended.Upvoted Mar 8

The carbonara pizza was really good (though a little salty). But delicious and the crust is crunchy while chewy: just right.
Staff is amazing, good is amazing, vibes are amazing. Come once and you’ll be hooked !!
Don ChoAugust 2, 2018Great rooftop great drinks. They have fruli. Today the bartender asked not only for my I'd by for my friends when I ordered two drinks. Really killed the mood for me. Didnt want to tip afterwards- Check out the rooftop, it has a separate menu and the arugula salad as an appetizer is awesome in the summer.
Chris RyanJanuary 26, 2016Great pizza (recommend the Meatball and the White pizza), and huge space. Would be great for a big group or party.
Amanda NanawaMay 7, 2019The pizza selections are all really good. Ordered the Night King (GoT theme) & it was amazing. Even better, affogato & desserts.
Susan C PersonsJuly 4, 2022Don’t miss the homemade ricotta cheese app! Meatball pizza confirmed that Porta does both crust & meatballs extremely well! Delicious “Three Trees” salad, large serves 3-4 as a side dish.
The amaretto colada is to die for, if you like sweet drinks. My friend loves the 14 1/2 pizza. 🍕
Joe BlossomMarch 24, 2015The pizza menu seems to get better each time we visit. The beer selection is great, too. It does feel a little Hoboken late in the weekend evenings (club, etc).
Nina PaparattoJanuary 7, 2017Bar downstairs is my go-to. All of the food is awesome! Rooftop was great when they first opened but gets pretty packed in the summer.
Jacob DavidFebruary 22, 2017This is hardly a pizzeria, it's an operation. Place hops on weekends, good for a party, and be sure to get on that roof when the whether gets warm!
Jean-Pierre PommetMay 22, 2015Everything because it is really good but their pizza are excellent. The restaurant is huge so it can accommodate quite a couple of crew :)
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantJune 25, 2015Great pizza and ambiance. Huge restaurant really great for groups. Jersey City is hopping!!
The rooftop is amazing and a nice escape from the Hoboken-esque crowd downstairs.
Food is good. Service is good. Atmosphere..... Jersey City killed this place.
The menu changed for brunch and pizza. I feel some of the best items were removed. For gourmet pizza, I go to Roman Nose now.
Carbonara Pizza, actually, all the pizzas are terrific, Roof top seating is a fun time, great energy fro m the crowd.
f7oOctober 6, 2017The place is very nice, good vibe and nice draft list but I don't think the pizza, specially the crust, are memorable
DanielleNovember 30, 2014Beautiful space with delicious brick oven pizza. A great addition to Jersey City!
Decent beer selection. Smoked salmon pizza during brunch is a great take on a bagel with lox and cream cheese. Delicious.
Zac ZellersMay 30, 2015if you can't make it out to Marta in manhattan, this is a decent poor-man's alternative, with a weirdly similar menu but shitty wine list.
- The 14 1/2 pie is great and the beer selection is okay too.
- Delicious pizzas and a solid craft beer list. Live jazz for Sunday brunch. Super stroller-friendly.
Gene SuperJuly 4, 2015Great food and atmosphere! Try scramby or eggplant parm for brunch. Live music Saturdays. Must visit!- Bootzin pasta....great combo of spice and fennel sausage. 14 1/2 pizza....delicious!
Shane AntonyAugust 11, 2017Great place to hang out on the rooftop and have drinks. Pizza is good, particularly meatball pizza.- Awesome pizza and late night live music in downtown Jersey City! 🍕🎶
- The Carbonara pizza may be the best specialty pizza I've ever had. Pasta also good and very nice lighting/space.
Go to the roof on weekend nights if you're a Hoboken douchebag and are sick of being a douchebag in Hoboken.
JasonJanuary 31, 2015New bar in the Grove Street area, good for groups and drinks... If you don't mind a loud scene
Great pizza, great atmosphere and now they have live music - make a whole night of it!- Really enjoyed our evening there, very friendly, clean and excellent food.
Mike LydenDecember 31, 2014Dig the ambiance and Focaccia! Pizza is not bad, beer selection is great.
Nabeel AliMay 27, 2017Saffron Cavatelli was absolutely fantastic; al dente and perfectly braised lamb.
Del Buca Vista, carbonara pizza, arugula pizza, and 14 & 1/2 are all great. The menu seems to change so trying not to get overly attached.
Stick with the pizzas and salad. But be willing to wait for the pizza, it takes forever.
Danette SusanneApril 14, 2023The staff runs around with an aloofness yet totally overwhelmed. Almost amusing to watch. And yes, everything takes forever. Pizza was nice.
Good pizza. Lots of tap beer. Can be busy, but worth the wait.- 2nd time here in 3 days....Pancakes and Cool Hand Luke brunch pizza.....un-describable! New fave spot in dtown JC.
