Papa John's pizza is amazing. I loved it in college and my family and I love it now!

Papa John's all the way! They are the ONLY nut-free pizzeria in town, which is very difficult to find. They also hand cut their vegetables fresh every day. I will not feed my family vegetables that have been soaked in preservatives.

Thanks, Judy. We're very proud of our handcut, locally sourced veggies, too.

Papa John's all the way. I have been a huge fan of their "Works" pizza since the day they opened in Hillsborough. The owners live here in Hillsborough, too, and are the #1 supporters of our community. Vote for Papa John's!

Even Pizza Bros got 0 votes. Not real pizza. Why is Domino's not here. Afraid they would take away Papa John's votes??????

Yeah Papa Johns is a ridiculous choice! We're in NJ, pizza capital of the country (yes that's right NYers!) and you guys pick shaky chain pizza. Let me enlighten you guys if you don't know already: Victor's giant slice is hands down the best pizza in the 'boro'. These slices are built to perfection. Just the slices, oddly if you order a regular pie its just OK. Try those slices people!!!

The fact that Papa John's has 30% of the vote when there are 13 other true "pizzeria" choices seems a little fishy to me ;) In any event, I voted for Lenny's. Newest joint in town and we LOVE their Classic Margherita pizza.

Lenny's is the worst and don't try the chicken wings, they are terrible we threw them away. The customer service is nonexistent and rude. I complained about the wings and they promised to replace them and then the employee said the owner refused because there was a negative comment posted on the internet and he knew I did it.

If they don't want negative comments they would need to learn some customer service skills and how to cook. AVOID this place and hopefully they will go away.

Popa John's is a second(third, etc.) choice even if I have a coupon for a freeone. It's just plain bad pizza.

It seems that the pizza places don't use seasoning in the sauce or on top of the sauces.

Alfonso's in Somerville has the best pizza in the area.

There aren't ANY good pizza places in Hillsborough which is a real shame! I'm writing in Justin's Pizza and Delucia's (brick oven) Pizza both in Raritan. Like I said it's a shame that I can't get any good pizza in my hometown....

Papa John's is hands down the WORST pizza in Hillsborough. I wish I never even tried it once and wasted my money.

Sal's Pizza in the CVS shopping center is the by far best pizza in town. In addition to serving the best food, Sal is a great guy and his staff are friendly and helpful.

I vote for Papa Johns. Best pizza for the best price. Staff is very friendly. The rewards program they have to earn free pizza no one else in Hillsborough has. No other pizza places mentioned on here has a loyalty or rewards program to earn free pizza.

Papa Johns gets my vote! Open really late. Papa Johns deliverers to us when all others are closed. Even when I call minutes before they are due to close they always take my order. Not like some of the other pizza places on here.

I have been a Hillsborough resident since 1984 and our pizza preferences have changed as new owners took over different places. But Angelo's is our favorite over the past few years - always consistent quality, always friendly and they are huge supporters of our community.

I've lived in Hillsborough since 1991 and have seen pizza places come and go...Victors by far has the best "big slice" in N.J. I wish they would offer that as a take home/delivery option!!! I do frequent other pizza places in town as well but will not go to the generic Dominos/Papa John franchises since I believe in keeping small town alive! Please support our local businesses (especially the long established ones) to keep Hillsborough from becoming just another mediocre American town with no originality!!!

I appreciate the fact that Papa John's is the ONLY 100% nut-free pizzeria in town. I have met the family who owns the restaurant, too, and they are the kindest people you will ever meet. I can't wait for my little one to be old enough to work there.
