OT: Best Jersey Pizza

Has anyone tried the pizza at Bunny's in South Orange ??
As a lifelong Central Jersey guy (Vics and Rosie's for me please, with an occasional Pete & Elda's) now living in the PA Philly suburbs, there are a few good pizza places here as well.
Compared to the slop I've had in the South, Midwest, and West Coast, the pizza here is damned good. Compared to NJ/NY, the very best is only "pretty good."

You're likely still within the Pizza Belt of the Northeastern U.S. so it's safe to assume there's decent enough pizza in your neck of the woods. Don't venture south of the M-D line as that's where the trouble starts.

If nothing else, this thread goes to show 'good' pizza is in the eye and stomach of the individual. Neverthe less, well done.
Jimmy Tomatoes in Denville serves some unusual flavors of pizza, at least from my perspective. The Indian pizza like Tandoori Chicken (spicy hot) was very good. The "normal" pizza like plain, sausage, etc., is above average. Further, I'd note that this place has a converyor belt type oven like Dominoes might have, not a "real" pizza oven.
Can't take a list of great pizza places, that advertises frozen pizza from Walmart, seriously. 😀
I went to my local pizzeria the other day and they were taking a Veggie Lovers pizza out of the oven. It really was a beautiful pizza.
Broccoli, peppers, mushrooms, onions and tomatoes. It looked like a pizza for an advertisement -very vibrant colors. My wife and I ordered it the other day-never had a veggie pizza before and it was very good.

I would totally love a Veggie lovers pizza. Just so long as it didn't have any: broccoli, peppers, mushrooms, olives, zucchini, or pretty much any other vegetable at all, except onions which are great on pizza.
Vegetables aren't food. They're what food eats. 😀
The Portnoy dude seems to only taste-test plain pizza. I get that as it's an apples to apples comparison and good pizza is good without any additional toppings.
But I've found that I order differently depending on where I'm getting pizza. And where the plain pizza might be just okay at some places, certain toppings combos are incredibly good.
For example, Strawberry's Pub's best pizza is, IMO, the bacon cheddar, with the Mexican pizza coming in second. Whereas most pizza places don't make a very good Bacon Cheddar at all.
Sciortino's makes it's own ground sausage and it's great. My three staples there are the sausage and garlic, the meatball and onion, and all their white pizzas. Interesting note is that Portnoy taste-tested both places and didn't like Sciortino's in Perth Amboy (the new place) at all. And in fact it looks like he got a crappy pizza from them. A difference between the original in PA, and the new one (apparently) along with the South Amboy one, is the crust in the original one was way, way less floppy. He also spent more time talking about Strawberry's awful name than about the pizza.
Some places have tasty sausage, some have nasty tasting sausage. Some places make really tasty Sicilian pies. Some have good regular pizza, but bland Sicilian pies. Some have great onions and great pepperoni, others not so much.
Alphonso's in Somerville make an incredibly tasty plain pie. It's so good that I won't corrupt it by putting any other toppings on it. I'll order a pizza when ordering other stuff for dinner just because the pizza is so tasty there.
Anyway, Portnoy is kind of sampling the lowest common denominator pizza, which is plain cheese.

There was a place on Centenial Ave in Cranford, just past the railroad tracks coming into Cranford from the GSP called Calabria, I think. They had pretty good pizza and really excellent Sicilian pizza.
I mean, it's no Dominos, mind you. But if it's still there, and you like Sicilian pies, and it's the same guy running the place, give it a shot.
When I lived in Woodbridge I went to Strawberry’s all the time.
I am not someone that finds a significant difference in pizza’s beyond thin crust or regular etc. It is more about the social aspect of the group I am with that brings me to a place.
Water has nothing to do with ot, according to Scott of Scott’s Pizza Tours. It’s the makeup of the flour, often based on where it is milled.
Sadly Pizza Time in Woodbridge closed recently after about 43 years of quality pies , steak sandwiches you name it. After the owner ( Gino) passed away early in the pandemic , his main pizza guy Carlos moved to Florida and opened his own place. The owners brother kept it going but didn’t want the business and the hours.The corner property has been for sale now for awhile. Portnoy rated it a 9.2 the last I saw.
Based on his One Bite app, Pizza Time was a 6.8. That is a basic, everyday pizza.
A lot of pizza makers swear it’s the water. Whatever it is, they don’t make it like our area!
Wow finally some common ground. Alfonsos is my go to and favorite pizza. There is something just different tgan everyone else. I think its the cheese. I almost always get the sausage so take a chance on it next time you go.
Love --- Pete & Elda's, maybe best thin crust
Underrated Pizza - The Cabin in Freehold.. really good, and on Monday (or Tuesda) cheap as hell, but cannot take home.
Dying to try -- Razza, in Jersey city -- some publications saying one of best Pizza's in USA
Great Old school pizza - Pappa's & DiLorenzo's -- Robbinsville ---- great old fashion taste
*** let's face it... regular pizza joints in NJ (strip mall pies, on the corner, etc.) with their regular pies are better then most places in the whole country.
NJ is Pizza capital of USA.... (along with Diner)

I'll give the sausage a try. I like that place in general. Nice to eat out front in the Spring and summer.
