Saturn Pizza

What a fantastic find!

First things first, yes - this pizza shop is located in what used to be the mini-mart of the Conoco gas station. However, do not be fooled by the location, because what we have here is an absolutely amazing new pizza place that specializes in amazingly crispy, charred-edge crust, with some of the most creative pizzas I've seen around. Not "gas station pizza", in the slightest! Style-wise, I *believe* this is a "St. Louis" style pizza crust, and is indeed cut in the same fashion as those, though I could be wrong. For something more local, think "Pete & Elda's", only more gourmet.

The first pies I tried were the "Earthling" (plain) and "Moon" (white with goat cheese, mushroom, sausage, fresh garlic, and balsamic reduction drizzle). Let me tell you, I don't think either pizza lasted more than 10 minutes before being gobbled up by everyone. We're hopelessly addicted, now. I didn't last 2 days before running back to try more. The "Venus" pie with pesto was seriously "out of this world", and the Mars meat-lover's pie was among the best Ive had of that style, anywhere.

Prices are affordable, especially considering the crazy amount of flavor / overall quality, and the staff are wonderful people who care about their food. An absolute must-try for anybody who enjoys pizza, especially thin crust!

Edit: Updating this review and sadly dropping the stars a bit. The food is tasty, but $17-20 for a "bar pie" is pretty expensive for a takeout place, if you ask me. I want to go back, but it's hard to justify these prices when you can get a much larger pizza elsewhere for cheaper, and feeds more folks. Hopefully they drop the prices a little, or add better deals to make it more worthwhile.

Found this on Yelp while on the area. Pizza was very good. Nice thin crust, no flop, good cheese to sauce ratio, sauce itself was good and well balanced, nice amount of toppings, reasonably priced and the guy running the place was friendly and accommodating.

It’s very good, but not life changing, but if I lived in the areas I’d certainly be a repeat customer.

Well done.

Ok hardest thing in the world is finding a decent pizza place that will cook a well done pizza and actually make it good. Better yet great! Saturn pizza has become a staple for me - probably going to review more here in the future can't get enough of this place. Everyone should try it at least once

Pizza was really good here. Nice thin crust, well done… Will be back!! Don’t judge a book by its cover! Yes it’s in a gas station. It’s amazing…. Run there and try the pizza!! Also the brothers; 2 owners super welcoming and nice!

In between both of our visits to the Doctor, squeezed in a quick lunch.

Before my appointment, while still at home came across a post on Saturn Pizza at 592 Rte. 70 in the Conoco Gas Mini Mart on the corner of Route 70 & Cedar ridge Avenue, Brick.

I've been driving past this place for the past 6 months and had planned to stop in to experience some Gas Station Pizza.

As this mornings poster implied it was pretty good.

Now it doesn't compare to the likes of the higher end and over priced places, but it was pretty good.

The crust is preformed and baked, the size is 12 inch's, the thickness is definitely thin crust.

Again, we all have pizza snobs in our list of friends, family and casual acquaintance who will bad mouth anything that is not fresh rolled dough.

Well the taste and texture was pleasing, better than those cracker, flaky and thin offerings by Carmen's Pizzeria at Pete's and Elda's plus a few other's.

The ingredients are fresh, good quality with a pleasant taste experience.

It was also quick, they are using electric ovens with 600 degree temperatures and depending on the type of pizza, it takes 8 - 10 minutes for a piping hot, burn the roof of your mouth.

Now the outside ring of crust is charred and may appear burnt, but the rest of the undercarriage was nicely marbled.

We ordered the "Earthling Pie", which is your typical cheese and sauce pie!!!

This is what Kit likes.

The other Pizza was the"Uranus" and it has, red sauce, red onion, fresh garlic, jalapenos and mozzarella.

I love my jalapenos and for taste, I was very pleased.

Finally, I know that everyone has different tastes and likes, so I will leave it up to the individual to make their own decisions.

For me, it was a worthwhile visit and lunch experience.

When we were paying our bill, the Pizziola asked how was the pizza. We informed him that we liked it, asked if they could adapt the cooking times down a little for those who might not enjoy char.

He was very receptive and thanked us.
