Halal Pizza in Paterson, NJ
Paterson is where Alaeddin's began — in 1998 we opened here as the city's first halal pizzeria, before moving the brick oven a minute north to Clifton. We're still five minutes away on Crooks Ave, across the bridge into the city. South Paterson's halal corridor runs straight up Main Street; Eastside, Downtown, and People's Park are quick across the river. Most Paterson deliveries land in 25–35 minutes.

Why Paterson eats with us
Paterson is the largest halal-restaurant market in north Jersey — the South Paterson corridor on Main Street between Crooks and Park is a continuous run of Levantine, Turkish, Yemeni, Bangladeshi, Palestinian, and Egyptian restaurants and grocers. Our role for Paterson is the brick-oven pizza piece: when you want pizza and you want it halal and you want it from a place that's actually been doing it for 25 years, you call us.

Halal food in Paterson — and the one gap we fill
If you're looking for halal food in Paterson, NJ, you already know where to start: South Paterson's Main Street, roughly between Crooks and Park. People call it Little Istanbul or Little Arabia, and the block backs it up — Levantine grills, Turkish bakeries, Yemeni coffee spots, Bangladeshi, Palestinian and Egyptian kitchens, plus grocers like Mediterranean Grocery and Nablus Sweets one after another. When someone lists the halal restaurants in Paterson, NJ, that stretch is what they mean.
What the corridor is thin on is a brick-oven pizzeria that's halal top to bottom. That's the slot we sit in. Alaeddin's is a Muslim family shop that's been at 600 Getty Ave in Clifton since 1998 — five minutes south, across Crooks Bridge, one turn off Route 21. Our kitchen is halal-only: one oven, one fryer, one deli slicer, one set of prep tables, and no non-halal product on the premises, so nothing crosses. Every meat — beef pepperoni, chicken, gyro, sausage, deli turkey, even the turkey bacon that stands in for pork — comes from a halal-certified supplier, and a couple of ours are in Paterson. The certs stay on file at the shop if you want to see them.
So the split is simple. For Levantine, Turkish or Yemeni, Main Street is right there and you should go. For pizza night that has to stay halal, that's us — 24-hour cold-fermented dough, a 550°F brick oven, house-crushed tomato sauce, and whole-milk mozzarella, with our own drivers reaching every Paterson neighborhood and no Grubhub or DoorDash markup on top. We also run fully-halal catering trays for the iftars, Eid dinners, and mosque and school events the neighborhood keeps us busy with.
FAQ
Halal pizza in Paterson — questions
- Is Alaeddin's actually 100% halal, or just halal-optional?
- 100% halal, and it's the whole kitchen, not one section of the menu. Every meat we carry comes from a halal-certified supplier — beef pepperoni, chicken, beef, sausage, gyro, deli turkey, salami, and halal turkey bacon in place of pork. There's no non-halal product anywhere on the premises, so the oven, fryer, deli slicer and prep tables never touch anything that isn't halal. We keep our suppliers' certificates on file and will show them if you ask. We've run it this way as a Muslim family business since 1998.
