Jersey Corn Pizza And More: 'Madison Pizza Lab' Restaurant Opens In Hoboken

HOBOKEN, NJ — After teasing photos of his pizza experiments on social media since last year, Hoboken restaurateur Dave Carney — who manages the Madison Bar & Grill uptown — has now opened his downtown Madison Pizza Lab for walk-in customers.

The long-awaited restaurant has taken over a spot at 152 Newark St., near the city's southern border and walkable from the Hoboken train station.

Until a year ago, the slot was occupied by Verizza Pizza, and was once a cigar shop during World War II. READ MORE: Verizza Pizza To Become Madison Pizza Lab

Last week, Carney posted photos of his Jersey Corn Pie:

On Instagram he wrote, "The Jersey Corn Pie, made with local Jersey sun gold tomatoes, @cherrygrovefarm buttercup brie, topped with fresh mozz & oven roasted corn."

Hoboken has no shortage of pizza joints, several of which have even been already reviewed by Dave Portnoy's popular channel Barstool Pizza. READ MORE: Pizza Shop In Hoboken Reviewed By Barstool Pizza

But with more than 60,000 residents in a mile-square city, patrons are always hungry for something new and unique.

Carney said on Instagram on Friday that the eatery was officially open for walk-ins, and posted a photo showing that there's even a back yard, not easy to find in the dense city:

The menu and website are not yet on-line, and the Facebook page hasn't been updated in a while. But you can follow the Pizza Lab's experiments and adventures on Instagram so far.
