De Lorenzo's Tomato Pies, Robbinsville, NJ

De Lorenzo's Tomato Pies is one of New Jersey's finest. Established in 1947, this pizzeria has the prestige and history to back up its consistent high reviews. The establishment is very accommodating with an upbeat and classy atmosphere. Adding to the authentic feel created by the pictures and history that lines the walls are the waiters, dressed very formally and serving patrons in a professional manner.

The pizza is exquisite. Despite a third of the base of my pizza being burnt to a crisp, the quality was exceptional. The crispy thin base and crust meld beautifully with the sauce and cheese. The tomato sauce is rich, sweet, slightly chunky and some of the best quality sauce I've ever experienced. I anticipate that I will return to this establishment many times in the coming years and will always speak highly of it to friends and family that are looking for some of the finest that Jersey has to offer.

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 ...

Central Pizzeria, Somerville, NJ

Date: 6/23/2018 Location: Somerville, NJ Pizza ordered: Plain and Chicken Parmesan Website:  http://www.centralpizzerianj.com/ I stopped into Central Pizzeria at the end of a pizza crawl through Somerset. There is a decent amount of seating and the wall decorations are funny and entertaining. There wasn't much selection, but I went with a classic plain slice and a chicken parmesan slice. The chicken parm slice was okay. There was a mix of mozzarella and parmesan cheeses on the slice. The chicken was plain and the crust was generic and didn't stand out. The plain slice was slightly gummy and undercooked, but did have a nice mixed cheese flavor. The slice was a little light on sauce and overall wasn't much to brag about.
