I write about pizza a lot because pizza is delicious and this is New Jersey. We’re lucky to have some of the best in the U.S. and you really can’t go wrong. It’s rare to find a bad pie in the Garden State. I’m not saying it’s impossible but I’ve only had one or two in the past few decades. Today, I want to feature a few fantastic places that I haven’t highlighted yet. I’m all about discovering and sharing new places with you! Get ready for a delicious pizza road trip…
Razza Pizza Artigianale - Jersey City
Razza Pizza Artigianale/Facebook
Razza Pizza Artigianale/Facebook If you’re looking for a perfectly charred crust and fresh, local ingredients, you’ll love Razza Pizza Artigianale. The pies are so good, people cross state lines for them. Their goal is to serve the best pizza possible and they don’t disappoint. Pizza isn’t just food here, it’s art, science, and a sublime flavor that will keep you coming back for more. With house-made bread, butter, and their own yeast culture, the tantalizing taste can’t be replicated elsewhere.
Anthony’s Pizzeria & Family Restaurant - Rockaway
Anthony’s Pizzeria & Family Restaurant/Facebook
Anthony’s Pizza Rockaway This old school Italian spot offers both traditional and specialty pies that delight the taste buds. If you want to try something new, go for their stuffed pizza with sausage, pepperoni, ham, salami, provolone cheese, peppers, onions, and mushrooms. On a budget? Both Sicilian and classic cheese pies are under $2 a slice!
Dominick’s Pizzeria & Restaurant - Newton
Dominick’s Pizzeria & Restaurant/Facebook
Dominick’s NJ Dominick’s is what I like to call a pizzeria plus. They’re a pizzeria and restaurant offering catering AND a private party room. Home to some of the best pizza in Sussex County, they’ve been family owned and operated since the 1960s (according to their website). Another bonus - this BYOB spot now offers a gluten-free menu.

Five Points Inn - Vineland
Five Points Inn/Facebook
Five Points Inn/Facebook Five Points Inn got its start as a popular cheese steak spot but expanded to include pizza and traditional Italian eats. While the cheese steak is still spectacular, the Lockdown Pie (pictured) is a current favorite. It’s topped with crispy bacon, french fries, meatballs, mushrooms, and pepper jack cheese, and finished off with ranch dressing. Yum!
