Happy National Pizza Day!

I make the drive to Alfonsos in Somerville even though it can take 20 minutes and there a 100 closer places to go. Sausage Pizza is incredible...the taste of the mozzerella there is just out of this world. Im assuming that another pizza joint is coming to the Pike Run shopping center..lol
Skinny' was my go to in college mainly because I lived in rentals on Ray and Morrell. Mushroom calzone and Tuesday night Knicks after Prof. Adas' World War I history class. I went there a couple of years ago and the pizza was still good, but it was weird, they divided the shop into half pizza place and half sushi place. Sorta reminded me of the old Bucky's concept in Finderne: Chinese and Italian.
Had a slice from a brick oven place in metuchen a few months back on the main drag there. Near menlo I like Anthony’s. It’s a chain though and I know some people don’t approve . But tasy coal fired pizza and wings.
Nunzio’s Sayreville another good spot and has very good food and byob.
Ah you rotten bastards. Enjoy the snow.:angry:
New Brunswick has a dearth of good pizza IMHO especially compared to the surrounding towns. You would think there would be tons of killer pizza given RU being ther but its not a great pizza town.
Back in the day Theresa's was very good. Coffaros, TaTas, Campus, they all sucked. Campus was great after coming out of the Knight Club though. Filippo's on George is the best but they didn't deIiver used to love Church St Trattoria but they are long gone. I've never tried Panicos. Last time I was in NJ for the Purdue game I did try Crispy pizza at the Yard, that I must say was damn good.

Pizza tends to make your clothes shrink. Greatest name for a pizza joint. Sounds like an inside joke to me. The real Vinnie probably resembles your friend.
Try Genteel's in the Village Shopper III building.....where the MooYah is. Amazing pizza and also really good pasta. We went for the first time 2 years ago, were blown away and left feeling stupid for taking so long to try it! You are seeing the last burst of retail development in Monty. The building on the other side of Belle Mead-Griggs will likely have a pasta/pizza joint from the owner of Caffe Piazza in Hillsborough. That can be pretty good. But the big town news is that the Monty Promenade is fully approved and full steam ahead. Frank Theaters and LL Bean are signed and public. A third anchor is signed but won't be announce for a while (for a hint, it's Bezos' favorite grocery store). And finally, Village Shopper I and II will be torn down and rebuild (to make them look like VS III). The drive-thru Starbucks is going in there. Good times! :)
I will have to give it a try...how does Moo Yah stay in business...its in such a big space and never looks crowded. Good news but worried about the traffic. Thanks for the update
Alfonso's is not quite top tier to me, but very good. Awesome garlic bread, too. Have a good friend who lives less than a block from there.
Yeah, crowds are inconsistent, but I brought my daughter there last Saturday night after a school event and the place was packed. Almost didn't have a spot to sit.
FYI, 4 loops roads are being built around the 206/518 intersection and will significantly improve the traffic (even with the new stores). But remember, the Promenade will have an entrance via 518.....just go that way and avoid 206 completely.
I love tomao pies. Every once and a while we will drive over to Robbinsville to DeLorenzo's, one of the old relocated Chambersburg joints. Have been meaning to try Papa's down the street, another of the old Burg ex-patriots. Has anyone been there?
That crust is perfect for me. Can't stand thin crust. I good coal fired pizza always has a decent crust. You've been in NC too long.
I second that. Used to work on Davidson Ave and that was the go to pie in the area
D Lo's (when it was on Hamilton Street in Trenton) was in my top three, along with Vic's in Bradley Beach and Pete N Elda's in Neptune.I swear every freakin' day is a "day" now and it takes away from truly GREAT ones like this! Of course, we all know where I'd go if I could today...Deeeee-Los baby!!!
Still haven't been to the new DeLorenzo's location in Hamilton, NJ.
I don’t get “National” pizza day. Pizza only exists in NJ and NY. The rest of the country has nothing to celebrate.
@bac2therac These people at Rutgers clearly enjoying national pizza day. Joking...well at least one of them was.
Man they must all be from Philly.
Warning - NSFW.
Rut this is not only funny but so true. I just flew up a week ago for the Indiana hoops game and as usual I ate my way thru NewJersey pizza, fried hot dogs and pork roll places. Went to Federici’s In Freehold and really thought their pizza was awesome. Plane seatbelt barely buckled on way home.
I’m with you on Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza. Even though it’s a chain, it’s right up there with the best pizza anywhere. The difference is their sauce. Reservoir Tavern in Parsippany is also a top choice.
I've had bad ice cream, bad meat, bad salads, bad desserts but pizza is one of the few foods where bad pizza is still pretty good just simply inferior to even better pizza. Can't say that about a ton of other things.
dang ! But I'll check tomorrow, I'm going to be in the Oranges for a few hours.
Sorry, gotta include the Philly area and most of CT/RI, especially New Haven, which has a couple of the best, most iconic pizza places on Earth - see the Pizza Belt article and map, which I think is pretty accurate, with the main point being not that you can't get good pizza outside of the Pizza Belt, but that on average the pizza in the Pizza Belt is way better than the average pizza in the hinterlands. I can stop in just about any strip mall in NJ and get good to great pizza - not true everywhere else.

We might just have to revoke your Pizza Belt Card. Just kidding - I like Anthony's - not amazing but good, IMO and the wings are very good.
Nina's was in Hillsborough, mid 70's, Rt 206S just before Amwell Rd traffic light. Pizza was OK, but a large calzone just fit in a normal pizza box. OK for local fare.
Vinnie's Pizzarama on Hamburg Tpke, Wayne. Been there for 40+ years. Great subs too.
Didn't realize it was NPD, but had a California Pizza at Nellie's in Waldwick. Very thin and a sister to Kinchley's.
