About This Collection
New Jersey takes its pizza seriously—and rightfully so. With our proximity to New York and a proud Italian-American heritage, the Garden State has developed its own pizza identity that rivals anywhere in the country. From old-school tomato pie joints that have been serving since the 1950s to innovative pizzerias pushing the boundaries of what pizza can be, this collection celebrates the best of NJ pizza culture.
What to Look For
Quality Crust
Whether thin and crispy or thick and chewy, the crust should have good char and structure.
Balanced Sauce
Not too sweet, not too acidic—made from quality tomatoes with the right seasoning.
Proper Cheese
Fresh mozzarella, the right cheese-to-sauce ratio, and even coverage.
Consistent Quality
Great pizza places deliver the same quality whether you're there at noon or 9pm.
Insider Tips

Ask locals about the best day/time—some places are better fresh from the oven

Many top spots don't deliver—the pilgrimage is part of the experience
