Kinchley's Tavern

Hey, it's not fine dining but that is not it's niche. What it is, is the best thin crust pizza in NJ.
It is that simple.
Service is NJ busy.

Wonderful experience with old world charm and delicious food. The ambiance is casual with white and red tables and lots of wood, and the service comes quickly when you enter and are seated. Tables fill up quickly so get there early or be prepare to wait (I was there for lunch in this case). 2 pizzas plus an appetizer delivered the perfect amount of food for three of us. Can't wait to go back.

Note - it's cash only so be prepared!

Love their pies. Love their simple bar. Love that there are still places like this that don't try too hard but still turn out good pizza, good service and a variety of beers on tap. Sit at the bar (if you're lucky enough to snag a seat) or dine in the main area.

Great place to bring family for thin crust pizza, but gets crowded during peak mealtimes and weekends. Tight fit if it's crowded. Have dined in and gotten take out -- prepare to wait or call in your order to make pick up a breeze.

The pies are delicious. Perfect sauce to crust ratio -- I am a huge fan of their thin crust. Crispy crispy crispy with slight char but not burnt. Oh, and cash only! Come prepared and don't complain.

This was honestly one of the best pizzas I've ever eating and I'm not even exaggerating when I say this. The crust was super thin and they loaded up the toppings on this pizza. It was so delicious. The toppings were also really high quality and tasted wonderful. So happy I decided to stop in and try them. Worth the drive to get there :)

This place has been around for nearly 100yrs for a reason. They make great pizza as well as food. My go to pizzas are the fra diablo w bacon and the mushroom, onion, sausage ( I add garlic). Service here is always courteous and prompt, at least it has been for me. The ambiance well it's no frill but has such charm to it that it's exactly how you would want a place like this to look like. Make sure to leave room for dessert if they have the Kentucky derby pie. Oh almost forgot, make sure to get the meatball app (so damn tender and flavor pack

This iconic restaurant has been inRamsey New Jersey, just over the New York border for many many years


It hasn't changed inside at all for years basically.

Went there last night. Have been there before of course. Wanted to wait out the rain after going to the movies in Suffern, New York Lafayette Theatre to see Godfather II

Even Tho it was very crowded . I only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table .

I Ordered medium pizza with mushrooms and sausage. Came out in about 12 minutes beautiful fresh nice sized mushrooms fresh indeed . it's always bad when a restaurant serves canned mushrooms because they make the pizza wet.

Not here sausage also very good. The sauce is flavorful A little sweet good balance with the sauce

I like that very very thin crust, crunchy.

Suggestion You should let the pizza cool down a bit before you eat it because the toppings can slide off when it's too hot. The only criticism there was not enough cheese on the pizza even though it looks like it was .

This doesn't happen when you get a cheese pizza but when you have a few toppings, the cheese is a little bit light, However this IS delicious fresh pizza great atmosphere.

They have a pretty extensive menu but I've only tried pizza and once I had a meatball Parmesan hero, which was very good I would say probably stick to pizza and hot heroes like sausage Parmesan meatball Parmesan
BIG thumbs up to this place, I go here often after I see a movie at the Lafayette Theatre in Suffern celebrating ITS hundredth anniversary this year. So make sure to come to this iconic "joint you won't regret it.

My time at Kinchley's Tavern is one of my favorite pizza experiences. When I entered, the place was busy with activity. The seating area was packed with families enjoying Sunday Pizza. I managed to get some seating at the bar. The classic, wooden bartop is a staple in all good taverns. The bartender and staff were very friendly. They recognized and conversed with regulars and were very attentive. I started with a glass of Kinchley's Red Checkered Ale while I enjoyed the wall decorations. These consisted of street signs, famous sports stars, photos, model trains, historic photos, and excellent quotes like, "the truth comes out when the spirits go in." The pizza came out super fast! Now that's good service.

The Original featured a cracker-thin crust, the epitome of a classic bar-style pizza. The sauce and cheese were fresh and delicious. The Vodka pizza had some of the best vodka sauce I've ever experienced. Both pies featured plenty of cheese that melts over the the side of the crust and chars in the oven. Each pie had a perfectly toasted base and crust with good structure.

I had a truly enjoyable time eating pizza at Kinchley's Tavern. I highly recommend everyone give this place a try - just don't forget to bring cash!

Upset I don't live closer.
I had a pizza with ricotta and breaded eggplant about 3 months ago. Every day since, I have thought about it.
I ordered a creamsicle float and they brought it to me in a 40oz Oktoberfest glass.
It was so comically big that people were coming over to the table to look at it and ask me what in the world I ordered. I felt important.
French onion soup was good.
Salads were good.
The cannoli raviolis were TERRIBLE!! They obviously get a pass but these shouldn't be sold so bad!!

Another cool thing is you can choose Original or Fra Diavolo sauce when ordering your pizza.

Love the food love the atmosphere.
Can't wait to go back.

If I could rate the vibe, decor, service separately, this place is a 5. Once you introduce the pizza, it gets brought down to a respectable 4.

You have to respect this place. It's one of a kind, been around forever, and is a fun, family friendly place with a bar in the back, and the same wood paneling since forever. You should try it at least once, and I could easily see myself coming here if I lived closer.

We got the buffalo wings (different, not in a bad way), and a plain pie half pepperoni. They have some really fun options too, which might be worth trying in the future, but when I go to place for the first time I always have to try the plain.

The sauce to cheese ratio is pretty good, the crust is thin and crispy. There was ALMOST too much oregano, but that is a personal choice. If you like a sweet oregano-ish sauce, you will not be disappointed.

This place is super busy and the parking lot, though large, fills up as fast as the tables. The pizza was good small for a large but I'm a New Yorker so...lol. Service was okay given how busy they were. Every inch of space is used for seating so be ready to maneuver like a pro to get to the bathroom etc. CASH ONLY with an ATM on site.
