OT: Best Jersey Pizza
- Thread starter Proud NJ Sports Fan
- Start date
There used to be (maybe still around, haven't been there in well over a decade) a Toby's Pizza in North Brunswick on the southbound side of route 1 just before Livingston Ave. I think it was a Pathmark plaza? I worked around the corner for a couple years. I think I ate there 3+ times per week in the early 90's. Simply amazing pizza. Classic NY style.
I am literally at DeL's in Robbinsville right now trying the pizza for the first time ever, half plain and half pepperoni.
#WOW
Finally a place that lives up to the hype!
Robbinsville has become a hotbed for NJ Pizza:
De Lorenzo's Tomato Pies - Legends
Papa's Tomato Pies - Legends
and
Massimo's is also really good, they also sell Authentic Napoletana Pizza as well.
Surprised that Strawberry’s in Woodbridge on Rt 35 has not been touted. In the past they had a deal of 2 slices and a domestic pint of beer for $5. Best part is they would serve your slices from a freshly cooked pizza. Far better than slices that have been sitting around and get reheated.
On another NJ pizza note, Chimney Rock is opening a location in Flemington sometime this summer, just north of the circle on Rt 31.
Good to know, I will definitely return to the area for lunch. De Lorenzo's was amazing, thin crust with some crunch, great sauce. One hell of a tomato pie.
had chimney rock pizza for the first time in decades last week. didn't have particularly good memory of it, and it was way worse than anticipated. astoundingly overrated. it's like tomato paste and cheese on a matzo. cannot believe how highly rated it tends to be. branding and trendiness
place was cool (gilette location) and that sig cream soda nitro beer was interesting, but will order a burger next time
I'm done with Chimney Rock.
Last time I was there was after a RU FB loss and the woman bartender asked me why I was a Rutgers fan anyways.
Food is not that good there .
Try Genteels, pizza is wonderful, lots of flavor. Also try the pasta, this is more than a pizza joint!
i couldn't believe it. was totally psyched to give it a try after years of seeing it mentioned in "best ofs". hit it after i touched down, on the way from the airport and was the only jersey pizza i had on my visit. very disappointing. never again for pizza.
and f them with "why rutgers" - they're like 15 mins from the stadium, stfu and welcome the business.

Resevoir Tavern in Boonton always gets accolades for their pizza.
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.
that and some much better pizza would make the place live up to the hype:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Maybe you should alert the owner.
I would guess ( if it happened the way you said) that Rutgers donor would be pissed.
Unless his staff was joking with you and you didn't understand it was a joke.
When I’d go in there I’d upgrade the order to 2 fresh slices w pepperoni done crispy and the draft. A one dollar upgrade. I miss that place now that I’m in FL. The two goofy women who ran Strawberrys added to the atmosphere. Also a good venue to watch college and pro football on Sat and Sundays. If I was driving in the area during game time on the weekend it was a good stop for a quick snack.
Yes, that’s the place and location. Excellent pizza, and great Italian food all around. Expect a long wait on the weekend.
Pizza 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
Was wondering if this place was still going strong as it's been 20+ years since my last time. Late nights at the office in E.P. in my first job out of college consisted of many a pie from Pizza Town for my coworkers and I.

But to make this more about Jersey Pizza joints and who had the best Pie than playing the name game:
I'll throw in Joe's Pizza (Vauxhall) ,but have to admit haven't had one for a few years.
Never understood Chimney Rock... very bland/mediocre
In the Somerset Hills / Somerset County area I vote:
1) Nicoletta - Bernardsville
2) Lombardi's - Martinsville
3) Conti's - Princeton
4) Manville Pizza
