Four halal meats, one brick-oven pie.
Meat Lovers Pizza
The Meat Lovers is the pie people order when they want to prove that halal pizza isn't a compromise. Four meats — all halal-certified — on one pie, baked in the brick oven until the edges of the pepperoni cup and crisp. It's the second-most-ordered specialty after the Buffalo Chicken, and the single most-ordered pie by the Friday-night soccer crowd.
What goes on it
- • Halal beef pepperoni (the kind that cups and crisps in the oven)
- • Halal Italian-style sausage, hand-pinched, not pre-sliced
- • Halal ground beef, seasoned in-house
- • Halal gyro shavings for a little Mediterranean edge
- • Low-moisture whole-milk mozzarella + our house tomato sauce on 24-hour dough
How it's made
Sauce from the center out, a full layer of mozzarella, then the meats laid on in order — sausage and beef first so they cook through, pepperoni on top so it crisps. Into the brick oven at 550°F for 8–10 minutes; the extra weight of four meats means we run it a touch longer than a cheese pie.
Pairings
A Garden Salad cuts the richness. Garlic-knots and a 2-liter soda make it a full family dinner. If you like heat, a few shakes of our crushed-red-pepper or a buffalo-ranch side cup works.
Ordering tips
Order it well-done if you want maximum pepperoni crisp. Large 16" feeds three to four hungry adults; the 28" party-style meat-lovers is a regular for office lunches and after-game team meals. Want it lighter? Ask for half-meats — we'll do two of the four.

FAQ
Common questions
- Is the pepperoni on the Meat Lovers pork or beef?
- Beef pepperoni, not pork. Same story across the pie: an Italian-style sausage we pinch by hand off the tray instead of using pre-sliced rounds, ground beef seasoned in our own kitchen, and gyro shavings as the fourth meat. The beef pepperoni still behaves like pepperoni in the brick oven, the edges cupping and crisping, which is why it goes on top of the other three.
- Does the gyro on it make the whole pie taste like a gyro?
- No. The gyro shavings are there for a Mediterranean edge, and they are one of four meats sharing the pie with beef pepperoni, hand-pinched Italian sausage and seasoned ground beef. They are what separates this from a standard pepperoni-and-sausage pie rather than what runs it. If you would rather skip the gyro entirely, ask for half-meats and we will do two of the four.
- Is the Meat Lovers spicy? I'm ordering for a table with kids.
- Nothing on it is hot as built. What goes on the pie is the four meats, mozzarella and our house tomato sauce. No peppers, no chili oil, no spicy sauce anywhere. Heat is something you add on your own side of the table: a few shakes of crushed red pepper, or a buffalo-ranch side cup for dipping the crust, so the kids' slices stay plain.
- Is the meat lovers pizza halal?
- Yes — every meat on this pizza, like every meat on our menu, comes from a halal-certified supplier, and the kitchen, fryer and slicer are halal-only. Nothing non-halal is prepared or stored on the premises.
- Can I order it for pickup or delivery?
- Both. Pickup is free and usually ready in about 15 minutes. In-house delivery is our own drivers — no third-party app markup — across Clifton, Paterson, Passaic, Garfield, Nutley, Lyndhurst, Bloomfield and Belleville.
