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.When it comes to pizza outside of the NJ... you are doomed. (besides NYC of course)
Your best shot at a good pizza is being lucky enough that some other person from NJ happen to have moved there as well and open a Pizza Parlor so you can get some real pizza.
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.now living in the PA Philly suburbs

Just the once?Lots of drunk young women come summertime
Thank youAcross from Shoprite in the Village Shopper complex. Great place!
Can't take a list of great pizza places, that advertises frozen pizza from Walmart, seriously. 😀
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.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.
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.Dominos in Cranford.
When I lived in Woodbridge I went to Strawberry’s all the time.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.
I’ve had burnt pizza at Bunny’s and good pizza at Reservoir a block away.Has anyone tried the pizza at Bunny's in South Orange ??
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.Any pizza or bread using the water from the Newark Watershed will be superior unless other quality controls are lacking.
We used to stop at Pizza Town on the way to Hot GrillPizza Town USA is BY FAR the best in the state and constantly rated as such. route 46 elmwood park. place is essentially a shack but has the thinnest crust...also their zeppolis are phenomenal
Mack’s on the Wildwood boardwalkOK, a lot of food snobs here, as proven in the subs thread.
What is your go-to Jersey pizza joint?
I split a pie with a co-worker at M&S II in Rockaway yesterday, it was good and got me thinking of what is my favorite pizza place.
There are lots of good ones around the state but I'd have to go with Pizza Time on Route 35 in Avenel .
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.I was just there Sunday actually. Yes, still make a good pie. I still say the best in Woodbridge, with Pizza Time second. Saturday and Sunday plain pies at strawberry’s for $9.99. You can’t beat .
They still have the 2 slices and beer special for $5, which is a steal . Usually we finish our meal with one of those specials and take to go - the slices , the beer you gotta drink there.

Based on his One Bite app, Pizza Time was a 6.8. That is a basic, everyday pizza.Sadly Pizza Time in Woodbridge closed recently after about 43 years of quality pies , steak sandwiches you name it.

A lot of pizza makers swear it’s the water. Whatever it is, they don’t make it like our area!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.

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