All the ingredients are high quality. They are knowledgeable, and passionate about food and how it should be enjoyed. I come for the Best GLUTEN Free around tho and I can add vegan cheese. Definitely cures my need for real pizza.

The hospitality and charm of this small pizzeria brought back great memories of what east coast pizza tastes like. Delicious and well cooked to the last bite. The way pizza should always be cooked in a beautiful brick oven.

This place is incredible! The atmosphere, service, and food! Chefs kiss! If you’re looking for an authentic wood fired pizza, this is your place. The dough was perfection, the ingredients are fresh. Best pizza in NJ hands down!

What a great little gem of a restaurant! First time here on a friends recommendation. Great food, service and ambiance. Have been to Italy many times and the pizza was exactly the same as in Naples. The calamari appetizer was out of this world. Completely different then any other I’ve had before. I live in Westfield and have no idea how I missed this place. Will definitely be back!!!!

Went there for lunch with my wife and 3 year old son. Brandon was working and he took incredible care of us. He was the host and server. He made the Cappuccino’s. He made the Calamari. He made the Pizza. I hope he is part owner of the place because he was pretty much running the place on his own and doing everything – including taking an employment application from a teenager who walked in asking if they’re hiring.

Great, relaxing, welcoming, beautiful atmosphere and service! BYOB. No simple “large pepperoni pies” here. However, the ingredients and bake, though a little different, were as delicious as any A grade pie I’ve ever had (so, excellent!). Thanks!

Overall ok… Al pizzas’ crusts & toppings were burnt… I guess that’s why it took so long for the order to be delivered to our table, the “extra cooking” 🙂 Would go back because the kids like it. And because of yummy gluten free options. BYOB, FYI – otherwise Water, Soft Beverages and Tea available.

Being that I drive by this establishment every single day, I decided that it was time for me to stop in and give it a go. I arrived on a Sunday evening and was promptly greeted and asked to take a seat anywhere. Once at the table, our order for drinks was taken and we had time to go over the menu. Let me first start off by saying that I love pizza and i love brick oven pizza even more. Even bad pizza is good pizza. I knew walking in that Houdini was a bit different and not your traditional pizzeria. Every single one of their creations sounded amazing. We ended up going with the Habenera and the Guido BK. Now, these pies are on the smaller side compared to your traditional pizzas. Again, I already knew that going in since I did some research and read other reviews. Once the pizzas arrived at the table, the aroma hit me and I knew I was in for a treat. After sampling a slice from each, the first thing I noticed immediately was the quality of the mozzarella. This isn’t your standard cheese. High quality stuff going on here. The flavors of all the toppings just melded with each other. I’ll definitely be going back to give the other pies a try. FYI: If their creations aren’t your style, you still have the option of getting a regular pie with your choice of toppings and Houdini Pizza is BYOB.

I never go out of my way to post a review, but for this I have to. I have been gluten free for almost 3 years now due to stomach issues. I’ve found pizzerias that make decent gluten free. But either the crust is too hard or too mushy. This gluten free pie is literally the best I’ve had, and let me tell you I have tried A LOT. The only thing I would do next time is ask it for a little more well done. But 10/10 recommend and will be my go to pizza place!
