The 7 Best Pizzas In Jersey City, How do these rankings work?

1. Razza

Razza is SO goddamn good that even loyal pizza fans from New York city will pop over on the Path train just to get one of these pies.

They use only local ingredients, including housemade cheeses and specially-bred hazelnuts. Crusts are old-school Italian, AKA perfectly charred, chewy and made with passion.

2. Delenio

Delenio is a classic Jersey City pizza joint that does traditional Sicilian-style pies that are oozing in cheese. The sort of pizza you’ll never get tired of eating.

Not sure what you’re in the mood for? Try one of their specialties including Grandma Pizza , Vegetable Pizza, Margherita Pizza, Chicken Parm Pizza, and more.

3. Porta

Want some authentic Neapolitan pizza? This three-story restaurant includes one of the few rooftop spaces in the city and has delicious pizzas churning out of its wood-fired oven all day long.

The Carbonara pie is particularly good, as is the DJ Jazzy Jeff: smoked Pecorino Romano, Jersey corn and ricotta salata.

4. John’s Pizzeria 

John’s of Times Square has been voted one of New York’s best pizzas because of its unique characteristics: all pizzas are made to order in one of their four coal-fired brick ovens, like a cast iron pan. The best news? They have a Jersey City location so you don’t have to hop on the PATH.

5. Roman Nose

Roman Nose is the delicious end product of Maria & Ruggero Fiore’s journey from a small farming village in the Lazio region of Italy (between Rome and Naples) to the heart of JC.

They make their own homemade mozzarella and pizza dough from scratch every day for the freshest Italian-style pizza possible. As for toppings? Choose from Prosciutto di Parma or basil pesto.

6. Paparazzi Pizza 

Paparazzi Pizza is the real deal – they bake every pie in their stone-fired oven. The Hollywood-themed restaurant serves as a fun backdrop along with their seriously delicious pizza.

The low-key pizza joint does pizza by the slice or by the pie, and they also deliver. Always a great choice.

7. Carmine’s Pizza Factory 

Carmine’s is a great Italian family business. Dad Angelo makes the sauce that goes on every pie; and they make all their own dough in house. Thin-crust & Sicilian pies are available to eat in (grab a seat by the sidewalk) or takeaway.

Be sure to keep an eye out for the two sons’ crazy pizza tossing skills.
