Best pizza in northern nj

[peter anas]

What are these comments .... "HANDFUL OF PLACES?" ... Y'all are insane and have no taste. NJ is swamped with fantastic pizza places all over, you don't have to look too hard. I've lived all over, including in Brooklyn, and speaking truthfully the fact is that Jersey pizza on average is better than NY. The four good spots in Manhattan don't weigh the average high enough!

Here are my recommendations:

Pizza Town, Rt46: Solid, pretty classic flavor. IMO, better slices out there, but best known for their deep fried calzones. Pizza Town definitely got me through a lot of party nights.

Clifton Village Pizza, Allwood/Clifton: Great selection of specialty slices available usually all the time. Cheese pizza is above average, their service is always good and they use quality ingredients. Good sauce to mozz ratios. My only complaint is that their crust is pretty inconsistent in thickness, especially on busy days/times.

Ralphs in Nutley: As others said, it's very good. Their crust is always consistently thin but still structurally sound for holding/folding.

Brick & Dough, Montclair: Fantastic wood fired pizza, "tavern" style. And my favorite crust around the area.

San Vito's, Bayonne: The sauce is the boss here, just a classic little italian spot, cheese slices reign supreme for me here. The ratios are golden, the crust is delicious, the sauce recipe is at least 50-60 years old...

lived in brooklyn my whole life.....try metros francos.....not mentioned here....thought probably because you missed it...

All of these answers are wrong! The best pizza is the one next to an AMP! Like the one on Overmount Road in Woodland Park. I’ll go pick up the pizza!

Lodi pizza in route 46. Best around

This might be technically central jersey, but back in my obese days I'd pound a few slices of Saporitos on Route 22 near the old Hott 22. Id also order 8 zeppoles for dinner for "dessert". The pizza is sure gimmicky but the zeppoles were so heavy and sugary that you would pass out after 10 minutes of eating them. If Ralphs is a young ukranian dancer than Saporitos is the mid 40s girl you can have your way with, but avoid telling your friends about.

Rose's Pizza in Garfield is the very best, also their sub sandwiches are #1 too.

Rudy’s in Closter. Hands down best pizza period.

Thanks for all your recommendations. I tried urban tomato in palisades park couple of days ago, and it was quite good. I have many to go through. Thanks again.

Nino's III in Kearny. Classic. Pizza Town in EP is the best in the World. Cash. No delivery. Ready in 10 minutes. All the rest are all the rest. These are the best. They pass the test so be my guest, I do not jest, but I suggest you go invest in a pie or two or three.

I know this is blasphemy, but definitely check out Low Fidelity in the jersey city heights section. They have detroit style pizza, which is square, but damn is it good.
