Pizza Lab And 3 Other Restaurants To Open In Hoboken, Including Myron Mixon's

HOBOKEN, NJ — From a gourmet "pizza lab" to three other restaurants to two co-work spaces, the time appears to be now to open a storefront in Hoboken.

With vaccinations up and COVID numbers slowing, people are getting back to business.

Restaurants long in the works, like Myron Mixon's Barbecue and the Cookie Connection, have opened in the last few weeks or are about ready to open. Here is a rundown:

As Patch was the first reported last year, a relatively new gourmet pizza restaurant on Newark Street, Verizza Pizza, closed after less than a year in business. However, experienced restaurateur David Carney has taken over the space for Madison Pizza Lab, which is close to opening, according to its social media. They even participated in the recent Hoboken Pizza Fest for charity. As the photo above shows, there's not even a need to remove all the lettering for "Verizza" to use it for "Pizza!" Said the store on Facebook, "We're almost there."

Mobile Kangaroo is now open at 1000 Jefferson St. They're authorized for Apple repair, and if you've used an iPhone, you know you need that.

Meanwhile, Myron Mixon's Barbeque was the only New Jersey restaurant to make Eater's annual list of the most hotly anticipated New York City area eateries. The owner of this location has said on Facebook that Mixon himself may appear at the opening. Two days ago, he posted a photo with, "Window graphics. Can't wait to serve y'all" but has not yet responded to customers' posts asking for the date. "Tease," commented one hungry patron.

If you prefer chicken fingers instead of barbecue, you can always to go Sticky's Finger Joint, which is opening at the former Cluck U. spot on lower Washington Street. "The best damn chicken finger," they brag. Hey, do all chicken joints have to cuss?

Square Mile Pit Stop just opened at 453 Fifth St., serving the growing west side of town.

A new pediatric dental location is a bit slow to open, as signage promised it would open wide in summer.

The poster on the left is for a new Hoboken office space called Sweven that has begun hosting a variety of unique arts and literary experiences at its spot atop 33 Newark St. We hope to write more soon!

Also, as Patch recently reported, the co-work space Daybase is under construction near 15th and Washington streets in Hoboken. READ MORE: Co-Work Company Daybase To Open First Sites In Hoboken, Westfield

After stopping by a Hoboken restaurant, pick up some dessert at another! The Cookie Connect on tree-lined First Street opened just last month. Coooookie!

• And there's more restaurant news that we'll announce shortly, so keep watching Hoboken Patch (also see the list below).
