Let's just go to Dodd's Crest in Orange and listen to Kinderhook Creek
The founder of Santillo's is Mom's Skillethead's grandfather. Al is her cousin. Believe it or not, I've never been there!Al Santillo's in Elizabeth
Star Tavern
Kinchleys
grew up on Manville Pizza as a kid...remember when they used to the $4 pizza anniversary sale..we would wait and line and buy 4 at a time. Havent been there recently, is it still good quality?
I am in Princeton right now and Contes is on the agenda. Thin crust. Not doughy. Fresh ingredients. No bullshit. Can't wait.

Brother's Pizza RT 18 N. East Brunswick
Coffaro's South River
General Saloon. 516. Old Bridge
Yea, I was going to mention Lombari's too as a top choice. I didn't because I like a thinner crust but the problem is that different pizzas are almost like different dishes, just hard to compare. I chose Chitch's and homemade but if I were selecting a medium crust I'd have mentioned Lombardi's. Lubrano, on Easton Ave by 287, is similar and very good too. I'm sorry to say I haven't made it up to Union to Cioffi's but I will try it soon.Lombardi's in NY.. by far my favorite
L&B in Brooklyn
Denino's in Aberdeen
Brothers in East Brunswick
conca dora , forked riverSince another poster started a thread attacking our sacred Pizza Pie. I thought maybe we could name some of our favorite spots for him to try when he comes east next season with his Huskies.
I will start it off with my two:
1. Federici's in Freehold.
2. Ralph's in Nutley.
Yes, Brooklyn Boys in Edison. Excellent tomato pie.
I really really really hate Greek Pizza!Pizza Athena in Palmer, Alaska is the bomb! They serve pizza there but not pie.

Preps on the OC Boardwalk is my favorite pizza in the world. Manco is a solid top 5.King of Pizza in Cherry Hill
Manco & Manco in Ocean City (hate, hate, hate the name change)
Tony's in Mayfair, Philadelphia
My wife who is from perth amboy tells me they did move the entire oven over to south amboy.We all love it. They still use the same recipe, with the sauce being the magical part for me - it's amazing. I had always heard they couldn't move the original coal ovens, so I doubt they're in the new place in Perth Amboy - road trip, although you can't eat pizza with that crazy diet, lol.
They also make a wonderful spaghetti with meatballs/sausage, with similarly awesome sauce. And their mussels with marinara and their wings are freakin' good too.
With you,good sir. Brothers FTW. Coffaros aint bad, but with Brothers two mile down 18, not going there!
I can eat pizza, just can't eat the crust. Which is an issue at Strawberry's Pub where the crust is great, but less of an issue at Sciortino's where it's good, but the sauce is really the most distinguishing feature, followed by the ground sausage.

I like Brother's but to me Mancini's is the best in East Bruns.
Glad to hear Brothers still around. Started going there when I worked at Pelican back in college. When I graduated and worked in New Brunswick, used to go out of my way to pick up a pie there, through chronic Rt 18 traffic, then all the way home to Princeton area. The vodka sauce pie was worth it, every time. Used to like their mussels back in the day, too.
Numbers I did enjoy it and have been there many times. If you love an old style bowl of spaghetti and meatballs or sausage theirs is killer as well. Skillet, Is Mrs Skillet from Elizabeth? Spiritos in Port Elizabeth has been there forever and their homeade ravioli is off the chain..
