Damn, was just there a few months ago. As someone on Yelp said, they didn't have the best pizza in the world, but they were far from the worst - good solid place for decades.
I think its like Halal pizza and stuff like that now

Genteel's in Montgomery/Skillman across from Shoprite. Also, Joe's in Hillsborough does an awesome Brooklyn Thin Sicilian.
Just moved to Hillsborough/Montgomery area. Best pizza around there for dinner tonight?
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.I think its like Halal pizza and stuff like that now
Actually, no. I realize it seems impossible, but it's true.So you've clearly had Santillo's...but have you ever had the pizza? :>)
We're well aligned on pizza. Love Spirito's, Nancy's Towne House in RY (absolutely the thinnest crust ever), and Sciortino's, which is my son's favorite and maybe my 2nd favorite after Star Tavern in Orange. We live in Metuchen, but no great pizza in town - good pizza, but not great. Best IMO, close by is Menlo Pizza, right by the mall on Rt. 1, with Highland Pizza being a close 2nd. Michellino's in Rahway is also very good for "standard" pizza. Oh one more, if you like tomato pies - Brooklyn Boys in Edison is quite 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.An old friend of mine VINNIE ,who was not really skinny, used to refer to himself in that manner.(Wow a poem without trying.)
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 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

Crust too thick. Next.
You should try Nomad then. A little thicker crust, but very light and tasty.I am not a thin crust fan, I dont want Chicago but I want it a bit doughy
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.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
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.Crust too thick. Next.
Lubranos right off 287 Easton Ave Somerset. A hidden gem!!
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!!!
millenials, whether they are from Rutgers or Philly people fighting in the street are trash
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.Pizza tends to make your clothes shrink. Greatest name for a pizza joint.

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.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.
Santillos in Elizabeth doesnt make the cut? My numero uno in this universe.
Ever had Santillos?
Don't believe Star is doing the 'fidollapie' this year.Star Tavern in February $5 plain thin crust on Tuesday’s. Back to $10 in March.

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.I don’t get “National” pizza day. Pizza only exists in NJ and NY. The rest of the country has nothing to celebrate.
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.I’m with you on Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza.

Was on Somerst in the 50's, just off Plum. Good pizza as a kid.coffaros or carfaros on Easton in New Brunswick in the early 90s
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.yes grew up eating that...there used to be no pizza place in Hillsborough in the 70s..actually I think there was one but Manville was a staple...they used to have half price pizzas on their anniversary where people including me would be lined out the door...getting as many pies as possible for $3 or 4. Have not been in quite a while and they moved from the shopping center to the main st in manville
Vinnie's Pizzarama on Hamburg Tpke, Wayne. Been there for 40+ years. Great subs too.Remember forgotten RU pizza joints
Skinny Vinnies
Coffaros..my go to
Campus
Tatas...still open
Gerlondas in the Busch Student Center
