I remember waiting in line as a high school kid for their yearly anniversary $4 pizza sales during the first week of March. Line would be out the door 20 deep and families would hoard pizza for their freezers
Give him credit. Anyone could have done this. Nobody thought of it, were too lazy to drive around to do it and now he has an empire on pizza rankings. Brilliant.
They would always win Central Jersey's Best Pizza as designated by the Courier News. Was there ballot box stuffing going on? Not sure. Good pizza but they were the Alabama of Central Jersey pizza for a while. Hmmm...
I’m altogether ambivalent, but my probably similarly aged wife is absolutely psyched about the Chipotle opening here in Flemington. Replaced a Boston Market (yuck).I’m a few years older than them() but love my Chipotle.
I don't understand the whole Chik-fil-A craze. Maybe the better tasting fast food out there but it isn't fast! People will spend an hour in the drive thru line for barely above average chicken. You can make it faster and better at home.
Manville Pizzeria at their peak in the mid 80s....man miss places when you walked in this is what you saw
its really good, I cannot replicate the breaded chicken filet like they can nor do i want to spend the time.
How quick can you get through the drive thru? You can now buy the breading in stores and the dips too.
Yeah, he has about as much credibility reviewing NY/NJ pizza as a recent NJ transplant to LA would have reviewing Mexican food. He's basically giving an "experienced tourist" perspective - but like any reviewer, he's only a good indicator if you share his particular tastes.
He certainly can be good for business, though, given the wait times mentioned at DeLucia's earlier up in this thread.
I think he has a style he likes and searches out. I certainly wouldn't call him an experienced tourist, whatever that means, you can be from Jersey or Mars and understand instantly what good pizza is. You don't need to be from Jersey to know great pizza. He does give great reviews on pizza that isn't thin and well done either. And he certainly has way more "credibility" then you or me.
With 2 working parents, 2 young kids with a zillion activities, this is pretty much a weekly emergency staple in our house.
When we lived in East Millstone, this was our pizza joint.Manville Pizzeria at their peak in the mid 80s....man miss places when you walked in this is what you saw
Here in Flemington, it’s Joe’s. Delizia is right across the street, and pretty typical good NJ stuff. But, no offense to my Croatian buddies that own/run Delizia (yes, that’s a thing. I spend most summers on the Croatian coast and can attest to the quality), Joe’s is better. Grandma is great, plus, really, really good cheese steaks. Maybe the best I’ve had in Central Jersey.
Just moved to Flemington a couple of months ago. Joe's is good but their crust is concrete sometimes I've noticed. I've been liking Jacks on Main St and also like Delizia. Panatieris and Lennys are average. Is Angelos wood fired any good?
There is a brewery/restaurant in Aberdeen on 34 that makes great Detroit pizza, it's amazing!
We frequent that Chik Fil A after BMX races at HCBMX, as well as the Moe's next door. Would love some better eats in Flemington though. How's that Red Crab place?
Obviously , this is a great score . What is considered a solid score for portnoy ? 7 and above ?
Manville Pizza in the strip mall by L&S Variety Store and Drug Fair. A slice with a side of asbestos.
If you get in the 7's, that is solid pizza you would eat every day. Most real good pizza places on his scale are around 7.6. You are great if you are in the 8's. When you hit the 9's, that is very special.
Pizza isn’t brisket or a french omelette and there’s no standard way to make it. Just like there’s different regional styles of barbecue, there are different styles of pizza. I never go by one person’s opinion. As long as it’s made with quality ingredients and cooked right, I’ll enjoy it. Any style.
did anyone actually eat at the Leaning Tower of Pizza, it was always great to drive past when I was a kid, how was the peetz?
It's ok. We have tacos, in n out, and better Asian food. I wish there was a state that took all the best from the Northeast and the best from Cali.
Haha wow I remember this place on Route 22 around Green Brook!did anyone actually eat at the Leaning Tower of Pizza, it was always great to drive past when I was a kid, how was the peetz?
i know we stopped there a few times when I was a kid after shopping at like the Watchung Market or Sears or some other place. Can’t recall the pizza because I was too fired up about that leaning tower. Man I forgot about that place for sure.
Oh man Barely remember that! Union area??did anyone actually eat at the Leaning Tower of Pizza, it was always great to drive past when I was a kid, how was the peetz?
