Date: 12/18/2016 (and later: 12/31/2016) Location: New Brunswick, NJ Pizza Ordered: Plain and Chicken Bacon Ranch, then Plain and Buffalo Chicken Website: http://www.pjsgrill.com/ PJ's Grill is located on Easton Avenue in the epicenter of the Rutgers night-life. Sitting between College Avenue Campus and a large population of off-campus housing, this pizzeria is one of the most popular in the Rutgers are. I've had many friends express their opinions to me that PJ's Grill is among the best pizza in New Brunswick. There is more room for seating than most pizzerias in the area and there is usually a large selection to choose from when deciding on a slice to eat. While the establishment lacks in parking, there is some available on Easton Avenue and the nearby streets, though most of the customers are within walking distance to their house.
Despite the praises by many, the pizza is pretty average. The plain slice is fairly decent with fresh cheese and good quality sauce. The crust is fluffy but not overly flavorful. The slice is on the greasier side, but not overly so. The chicken, bacon ranch and the buffalo chicken slices, some of the trending and popular picks among college students were both satisfactory. It is my personal opinion that Pizza City does a better Chicken, Bacon Ranch slice as PJ's wen't a little crazy with the ranch dressing. The ratio ended up being a bit off and the chicken wasn't as good as Pizza City's. The Buffalo Chicken, one of the most popular slices was adequate in my opinion, but didn't really stand out as deserving of so much praise. The buffalo sauce seemed old or stale and the chicken didn't have much flavor. Don't get me wrong, PJ's is a solid pick compared to some of the other options along Easton Avenue, but not the number one in my personal opinion. Final thoughts: an average pizzeria serving average slices.
