Is Pizzatown USA on 22 near the GSP? Middle of the road. I had a college buddy from that area and we went there for lunch quite often (something different than RU food!).
The fake DeLo's in Hamilton is meh. Completely different type of pizza. Don't confuse it with the real one.
It is different. But the Works pie is as good as a heavily topped pizza can be, imo. I typically am a less is more kinda pizza topping guy. But that one tickles the plums.
It's different but I actually like the Hamilton one better. It's more similar to Papas than the other delos. All are great Trenton Tomato Pies along with Contes. Classicos tomato pies are also very good.
Love Mack's in Stone Harbor. Always a summer treat. I forgot the history of all the Mack's/Manco/M&M pizza joints. Obviously, they are connected.
Not sure about the Stone Harbor one but there was a split because of some tax funny business stuff I believe.
Maruca's is my parent's all-time favorite pizza place. More traditional style, but outstanding for a boardwalk pie!
Back when actual Italian's made the pizza.
Columbia Inn is great for thin crust and the Resevoir Tavern, Boonton- for thick crust!
How do you bake it? I started using an Ooni Karu wood fired oven at around 900F and it's a tremendous improvement over the 425F home oven.
Not yet in LA, but in NoCal there is Giovanni's (Sunnyvale), Slice of NY (Sunnyvale), Longboard Pizza (San Francisco), and Tony Napoletina (San Francisco). Confirmed by multiple folks with NY area pizza roots 😎
There was a Pizzatown on the island on RT 22, around Springfield/Union, not far from the Flagship, as I recall....
Some little restaurant in Palermo Sicily. Best ever.Papa’s in Robbinsville is my favorite. They call theirs a tomato pie.

I also prefer the Delos in Hamilton, though I’d happily eat all of them. What’s the difference between pizza and a tomato pie?
I definitely remember those days! Dad used to go there when Joe’s was too busy. Loved how they cooked it in the pan then removed the pie to crisp up the bottom. Also remember a good bar pie at Old Homestead in Stuyvesant Ave in Irvington as a kid in the early 80s.
Best pizza ever for me is the Tomato Pie from Palermo’s in Bordentown. You have to eat it there, right out of the oven. We go there 3x a month.
Manco is good, but I prefer Preps (in OC).
Star tavern (Orange)
Actually, that was my fault. I had just sent him my latest treatise on how centrist moderate political views are the best political views.
Count me as another vote for Joe's in Vauxhall. I'm up from FL and will make a point to get there on this trip.
