In lieu of recent chatter about the best pizza. Why not start a pizza thread of best pizza joints. Just one rule. Franchise big boy pizza joints like Dominos and stuff don't count. These are the places that think large pies are suppose to be 12 inches! That's bogus bs.. A real large pizza is at least 16 inches...

 

So for mom/pop type places.. I'll start it off with my fav...

 

Mainline Pizza, E. Main St., Little Falls across from the old Town Tavern. They've been around forever. Use to be more towards center of town. Old man was right off the boat and I think was a bookie too back then. Hehe...

Believe the son or grandson runs it now and still taste great!

Sciortino's in South Amboy

I am a big fan of Spiritos family restaurant in Rahway.

 

Ciao Bella in Atlantic Highlands is good too.

Sciortino's in South Amboy

 

Agreed, some of the best pizza i've ever had.

 

 

The sauce man... the sauce... mygod

Cafe Amici in Somerset is my local spot. Chimney Rock Inn for best in NJ.

Had some buffolo chicken pizza from Presto's in west new york, pretty damn good. They load it up , each slice weighs like a pound.

I am a big fan of Spiritos family restaurant in Rahway.

+1 for the Spiritos.

3. Dominick's In Flemington,NJ

No Website, they dont need one.

Thanks Alec. You knew I'd have to weigh-in on this - no pun intended. When DeLorenzo's was in the 'burg (in Trenton), that was hands-down the best tomato pie. That store is gone, but I've found a close second. It's Nutt's on route 29 in Titusville, NJ. That is just north of the Washington Crossing Bridge. You can thank me later.

 

Adios,

 

Pizza Bob

Lombardi's in Fairfield has the best white pizza I've ever had.

Bob -- Nutt's has good pizza. FYI -- DeLorenzo's has a few locations. In Trenton on Hamilton Ave. They also have one in robbinsville, and are opening a new one on Sloan Ave in Hamilton.

there was a place in salem county called little c's. delicious pizza, honestly the best i've had.. unfortunately out of business now. they really tried hard... went out once, came back, but alas went out again.

The one on Hamilton operated simultaneously with the one on Hudson, but it was a different branch of the same family. Not as good as the Hudson St store. The one in Robbinsville is run/owned by Sammy, the son of the Hudson St family. Don't know about the Sloan one, but would guess that's Sammy's too.

 

Adios,

 

Pizza Bob

The original Spiritos in Elizabeth is still pretty good, as is Santillos, also in Elizabeth.

 

Mancinis in East Brunswick makes a nice pie.

 

BUT! When I want a truly great pizza, I cross the Hudson to NY Pizza Suprema.

+ 1 for Chimney Rock if u live in the Bridgewater area.

 

If you're further west, try Natales in Annandale. Small mom and pop shop, great service and a good sized pie that's one of the best in the area. We stumbled across them one night about 2 yrs ago. They were just about to close and we were just getting home from vacation. My oldest wanted pizza and since he has food allergies we can't trust the big stores. Not only did they fire up the oven again but the owners son made us some zepoles while we waited. Can't beat that for service

Deninos in either Brick or Aberdeen.. Also Krispy in Freehold and Old Bridge.. Straight from Brookaleen!

Franco's in Hopewell Borough. Get the Sicillian.

 

Conte's in Princeton. LEGENDARY.

 

Louie's or Mario's in Cape May city.

Great thread, I'm always looking for good pizza so.......

 

Another +1 for Chimney Rock in Bridgewater if you're in the area.

 

DeLucia's Pizza in Raritan, best thin crust I've had.

 

Lastly, Cassie's in Englewood. A little pricey and definitely not a pizzeria but VERY good pie.

I have two favorites: Gara's Pizza & Nicolosi's Pizza. They are both located in Lopatcong Township, Warren County.

Naples Tuckerton it is all about the sauce.. RT 9 shopping plaza next to acme..

 

Lastly, Cassie's in Englewood. A little pricey and definitely not a pizzeria but VERY good pie.

 

Cassie s is pricey but worth it...used to work up the hill and discovered it .........every time i am in Englewood i stop by.

Their BBQ chicken pizza is legendary.

Pizza town usa elmwood park

 

This. So much this. Pizza Town USA probably the best round pie, I've ever had.

 

 

Also Mr. Brunos in Lyndhurst well known for their square pies.

Cassie s is pricey but worth it...used to work up the hill and discovered it .........every time i am in Englewood i stop by.

Their BBQ chicken pizza is legendary.

I'm gonna have to check it out on my lunch break one of these days.. I love me some BBQ pizza...

Deninos in either Brick or Aberdeen.. Also Krispy in Freehold and Old Bridge.. Straight from Brookaleen!

 

+1 Krispy pizza in old bridge is great. I especially love their grandma pie.

 

I've been patiently waiting for TJs in Parlin to reopen.

Havent had much North Jersey pizza since i've never really lived there.. but for my area, Luigi's pizza in Howell is the best pizza..

 

Ninos in Hamilton also isnt bad.. They make a great cheesesteak or chix parm pizza
