If I wanted crappy pizza, I'd live somewhere else.

2. Well, NJ pizza can be on par with NYC pizza.
I mean someplace like PA or the south, where you can't get decent pizza or Chinese food.

4. I think they went to Denville Pizzeria.
Normally, we go to Anthony's or Attilio's. Btw, have you ever gone to Resevoir Tavern in Boonton? That place has awesome pizza. They even have a shrimp w/vodka sauce pizza that sounds weird, but is really good.

8. Not Sure About Resevoir Tavern. I Love The Pizza At Pavolos Pizza By A&P.
Edited on Sun May-21-06 09:52 PM by OPERATIONMINDCRIME
Not a fan of denville pizzeria at all. Attilo's is a great place for italian and hell, it's owned by Joe Pesci's cousin and is frequented by sopranos stars LOL

I'm right off 46 in denville near the charlie brown's/burger king area, by the way. :) (I get excited knowing a fellow DU'er lives so close. You got bumperstickers on your car? I may have beeped at you and given a thumbs up before LOL)

15. I'm off Greenpond heading towards Boonton.
Yeah, I have a DU sticker and a rainbow "Girls Kick Ass" sticker on my Jeep.

Attilo's is good for everything. I recommend checking out Resevoir Tavern sometime. The wait for a table can be long (kill time at the bar) and they usually shut down the take out. It gets insanely busy. The place looks really plain, but their pizza and everything else I've had there has been really good. To get there go down Main Street, Boonton heading towards Myrtle Ave. drive over the Rt 287 overpass and keep driving. It will seem like there can't possibly be a restuarant back there, but there is. You'll drive over the resevoir and it'll come up on your right.

19. Cool, Always Looking For New Joints To Check Out. Thanks For The Recommend
And I love knowing that a fellow DU'er lives within 2 miles of me. I keep a lookout for DU bumperstickers all the time and haven't seen one yet locally, but at least I now know there's definitely one in the vicinity :)

5. Get thy self to DeLorenzo's in Trenton
I prefer the one on Hudson st. But hamilton Ave is great also.

Delorenzo's often wins the best pizza in Philadelphia contest.

11. Trenton is not South Jersey dammit!!!
It's central! I feel like I had this argument on a daily basis when I was in college. All the North Jersey people called us South Jersey...and all the South Jersey people called us North Jersey. We're in the middle! :P

16. It's South Jersey.
Central Jersey doesn't exist. It's a myth perpetuated by people living there that realize North Jersey is superior and refuse to believe they live in South Jersey. The Shore is a seperate entity. It is neither north nor south. It is simply The Shore.

22. So if you can accept the existence of "the shore"
then surely you can accept Central Jersey. Hey the high school I graduated from won 3 Central Jersey Group IV state championships in baseball when I was there. If the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association says it...it must be true!

23. They're in denial too.
Like I said, you guys all want to pretend to be North Jersey. You don't want to be associated with that weird Burlington county place.

25. I would argue that true central Jersey consists of Mercer and Monmouth
Those Burlington County people are a little "off" :evilgrin:

30. I've never met anybody from Burlington County that wasn't "off"
I'm sure they exist. I've just never encountered them and yes, I have unfortunately spent time down there. *shudder*

10. You are a smart man indeed!
While I prefer the one on Hamilton Ave (probably because it is the one I've been going to since I was a young kid) DeLorenzo's is the best pizza ever. Any Trenton native will agree

37. It sounds familiar to me
I know I've heard people talk about it before...maybe it was my aunt, she used to work down there in the summer when she was younger. But you gotta love those small corner pubs

I live in Detroit. You have to search for good pizza. But on the East Coast.? You'd have to try hard to find shitty pizza.

17. I didn't buy it.
It was simply brought home...by a retarded family member who also thinks Pizza Hut is "pretty good."

36. I live in the Keys and we have really really crappy pizza,
but I don't care that much because we have eighty degrees year around and shrimp and lobsters and stone crab claws. So it is a reasonable trade off. But I understand your anger. Without these things, I would at the very least, demand nothing less than excellence in my pizza.
