Anything above 8 is big for him. He also grades on a big time curve for different reasons. .Right? I’m sitting here wondering how far Raritan is from me lol
We have Ralph’s Pizzeria*
Pizza is bomb(as the young kids say)
*Bar Stool pizza review: 8.9… guess he doesn’t love it as much as I do.
OT: Delucia's Brick Oven Pizza in Raritan

Planning a trip back to NJ to show my boys around where I grew up in Bergen County (roots through my dad in Hudson County, too.)
We visit the Ocean City area about every year and know the good food places around there. Would be grateful for suggestions from this board for favorite pizza and hero places in Bergen or Hudson.

Stans Chitchs just about as good as Delucias imo. Real close. Both have very good sausage pies.
Monster - What is the name of your Charlotte pizza place? My daughter lives there. Thanks!!
Alino's
The guy has multiple locations. There's on inside Concord Mills, another at Mooresville.
Thanks. I shared this with her. She hasn’t been to Alino’s yet, but it’s now in her list.
I live about a minute away from delucia’s. Good pizza, liked it a lot more when I first moved here but have since become tired of it. It’s a unique slice, very crunchy and well-done on top. Ended up switching over to Toscanas in Bridgewater for a more traditional slice. Dominic’s in the circle is good too, classic jersey place run by straight goombahs.
If you’re in Raritan check out Espo’s and Uncle Vinnies. Those are two excellent spots, places are filled with pure characters too.

Tony's is very average. Too heavy on the cheese for me... would order from there every couple of weeks when I was living in Morris Plains out of convenience. Enjoy much better pizza here in CNJ.
Kids love the buffalo chicken pie at DeLucia's but I follow the same plan for my family and myself except I'm in Bridgewater closer to Toscana's. If it's not a weekend, I might lean toward DeLucia's because you can actually get a pie within a half hour.
that is the thing.... different people will like different things out of a pizza..... I do enjoy the cheezy and gooey pie, but I now gravitate to a real thin pepperoni pie
for me, New Park tavern in East Rutherford is just the way I like it..... the barstool guy was there a couple of years ago, said that pie was really good, but gave it a 7.8... good, but no where near the 9.4 here
Mr barstool said a curious thing at the end of the New Park tavern, saying he hates everything about this place, kind of a throw out line, not very nice
Is Chitch's still around? Between all the flooding and that ginormous apartment fire, that neighborhood has seen better days.
I would like to know if he had anything to say about RU beating Michigan in bball. He's a jerk and has said a lot of moronic things about RU in particular over the years.
Pizza in JC would say
Razza (owner went to RU and was rated best in NYC despite being in JC)
Bread and Salt
Rustique
Yes, still there. Closed for a few days this week, though. You’re right, the neighborhood has seen better days but Chitchs is still great.
In Bergen Kinchley's in Mahwah already mentioned. Also Brooklyn Pizza in Hackensack and Ridgewood. I believe they are all whole pie only.
An 8.9 score is huge. Sally’s in New Haven (my fav) was the highest I believe at 9.2. A good pie is 7.6. You are great if you hit his 8’s.Right? I’m sitting here wondering how far Raritan is from me lol

My company has an office in Albuquerque. Never been to New Mexico but have always been told it’s a high crime/murder state. Is that an exaggeration or fact? I assume it’s not true but figured someone from NJ living there would give an honest answer. I’ve been to 43 of the 50 states and used to travel a lot on business so I have my own opinion on places I’ve visited. Taos have been in my bucket list for skiing.

Huge fan of Brooklyn although I think the Ridgewood location makes a more well done pie. Which is my style. We go to the Hackensack location more. A lot more flop. I prefer to take out from Hackensack rather than eating in to reduce the flop.
Heard Eapo’s has gone down hill since they sold. Was a great old style place. I love the Bridgewater area as they have several different styles of pizza. We just had Delucias a couple of weeks ago. But you also have Alfonso’s in Somerville Chimney stock in BRidgewater and Lombardi’s I. Martinsville. I really like Lombardi’s as it is true Neopalitan pizza and the owner goes to Naples every few years to get new ideas. Delucia’s Calzones are also awesome
Actually he’s said a lot of good things about RU in the last few years. Football and Basketball. It helps having TJ on staff. I used to not be a fan but once you figure out his act, you get to like him.
There was good restaurant in that area . I think it was called murdock’s . It was a sad day when they closed .
If Sally's is a 9.2 I'd put Frank Pepe's white clam pie at a 9.5. New Haven is an oasis in the New England pizza desert. Boston's North End is life sustaining but not New Haven.
Oh yeah and the daughter made some upgrades there in the bar area! Bar stools no longer bolted to the floor. Fake fireplace for ambiance. New flooring. Gone from my childhood is that sawdust shuffleboard bowling game. That game ruled. I was there maybe 2 weeks ago. Funny, outside the bar entrance is a door to the basement and the kegs and storage for other liquor is down there. Bound Brook DEFINITELY has seen better days but one staple has preserved for sure and that’s Chitchs
Haha my bad !
Just several pizzas! Type of place there is no reason to call ahead. Show up, sit at the bar, have a beer and place your order.
Have you been to Pepe’s lately? Not as good as they were. I still like them but not the same since their expansion. They are probably 4th or 5th in New Haven now. Sally’s & Modern much better. Even Bar and Zuppardi’s. I get to New Haven often since I go to a lot of college hockey games in the area. That being said, I was born and raised in NJ but New Haven pizza is tops.
As far as accuracy , no . As far as some popular guy on social media making it so , yes.
Not for 20 years, so you're probably right. Went there for the 1st time in the late 70s and was duly impressed.
I love Alfonsos, drive 15 minutes from belle mead as my go to pizza joint....sausage pie is to die for
