Hoboken MutzFest brings 6 iconic Mutz Makers to one location to serve up a whole day of cheese, antipasto and italian tradition. (plus a cannoli eating competition!)

I went in with an open mind, empty stomach, and a goal to find out who has the best mozzarella in Hoboken! While I’m no professional palate, but I know a good bite when I taste one!

🥇 1. M&P Biancamano’s (Hoboken)

Our mozzarella king!! Salty, soft and freshl. Biancamano’s served a choice of salami or ham with mozz on bread and an extra slice of mozz on the side. Truly, the most memorable mozzarella!!

🥈 2. Vito’s Deli (Hoboken)

Solidly delicious! Plus, they win bonus points for offering a full antipasto selection on the side!! They offered a large selection but I got buffalo chicken pasta salad and mozz and some bread.

🥉 3. Lisa’s Deli (Hoboken)

Lisa’s brought their A-game!! While the mutz wasn’t quite as bold in flavor as Biancamano’s, the texture held up well and the antipasto options was a huge plus. A respectable third-place finish from a Hoboken staple. Lisa’s served up foccacia, an italian style sandwich, charcuterie, mozz and bruschetta.

❌ 4. Vinnie’s Mootz (Lyndhurst)

I wanted to root for my hometown hero! But the mutz fell a little flat to me. It needed more salt. Not a bad bite, just not a memorable one. Our bar was high, and Vinnie’s felt a little underseasoned in comparison to the others. Vinnie’s served up mozz with balsamic and basil and bruschetta.

😬 5. Tony Baloney’s / Mad Mutz

The mini mutz flight didn’t come with flavor descriptions, and some of the textures were just a little off for us. Tony’s served mozz sticks and offered a mozz pull competition!

Overall

Hoboken knows their mozzarella cheese and Biancamano’s reigned supreme to us! Mutz Fest was an amazing and cheese-filledtime, even if some bites were not our fave! It also got kinda crowded at the end!!
