California Pizza Kitchen, Bridgewater, NJ

Date: 11/28/2016
Location: Bridgewater, NJ
Pizza Ordered: BBQ Chicken (and tried the plain pizza my girlfriend ordered).
Website: http://www.cpk.com/

























The California Pizza Kitchen is located on the ground floor of the Bridgewater Commons Mall. It's nearby one of the entrances, and thus close to a parking lot for easy access. This establishment, in addition to pizzas, has a variety of cocktails and a decent wine selection. The bread that came with the meal was soft and warm with a pleasant taste when dipped in the oil seasoning. The plain pizza was decent, featuring fresh cheese and pretty standard tomato sauce. The crust and bread used for the pizza didn't stand out too much and was relatively lacking in flavor.

The BBQ Chicken Pizza, while not much of a pizza, was very good. There was a bit of cheese, though not much, and no tomato sauce. Instead of tomato sauce, a delicious barbeque sauce was used instead and onions and parsley were added in addition to the chicken for flavor. The chicken was tender and not dry in the slightest and the overall product was delicious. Overall, this establishment is a decent option for food if one finds them self famished after a long day of shopping.

Italy's Restaurant & Pizzeria, Phillipsburg, NJ

Date: 6/21/2019 Location: Phillipsburg, NJ Pizza Ordered: Plain, White, and Sicilian Website: https://italysrestaurant.com/#home Italy's is a small local pizza joint that has the appearance of your typical neighborhood pizzeria. Lovely paintings of Italy adorn the walls and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. I was extra hungry, so I went with my usual plain slice and added a white slice and a Sicilian slice. The meal came with complimentary bread that was pleasantly fluffy and had a good mix of herbs and spices on it. The plain had pretty decent sauce and cheese and the charred crust was good, but a bit burnt in some places. The white was very fluffy with a good helping of cheese. The square slice had really great sauce and parmesan and a nice amount of fluff to the base. Overall, I would say Italy's puts out a good average slice of pizza.

Star Tavern, South Orange, NJ

Date: 7/25/2017 Location: South Orange, NJ Pizza Ordered: Plain and Works Website: www.startavern.net/ Star Tavern is a busy bar and pizzeria in South Orange, New Jersey. There is some parking at the actual building and there is a lot next door with additional parking (which you'll need to use if you go around dinner time). The wait staff is very helpful, polite, and works quick! The atmosphere is very cool and somewhat retro but also quite noisy as you'd expect a popular bar to be. There are arcade games, booths, plenty of posters, neon signs, and a bar seating area. The pizza is fantastic. Star Tavern has some of the thinnest crust I've ever experienced on a pizza. The base was super thin and pleasantly crispy. The ingredients were all delicious and I find myself agreeing with Pete Genovese when he calls this the gold--standard of thin crust pizza in NJ. Just remember that because the crust and base is so thin and because the pizza tastes so good, you'll likely ...

Passariello's Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen, Moorestown, NJ

Date: 05/03/2017 Location: Moorestown, NJ Pizza Ordered: Plain and Pasta Website: www.passariellos.com/menu.php Passariello's Pizzeria and Italian Kitchen is a unique little restaurant along a cute mainstreet in the middle of town. The restaurant is set up in a way similar to a food court or a school cafeteria. You can get different meals from different areas and counters inside the restaurant (of course, my main interest was the pizza counter). There is plenty of indoor seating and there is street parking available. The staff was friendly and service was quick. I went with the pasta slice and the usual plain. The plain featured a crispy base with delicious sauce and fresh cheese. It served as a good, staple slice. The pasta slice was delicious and featured a rich vodka sauce, fresh basil, and some extra cheese compared to the plain slice. It held together nicely and the overall quality of the slice was very good. This is definitely the spot to get a solid slice of pizza.
