      You missed A LOT of great pizzerias. Palermo's in Bordentown. Lillo's in Hainesport (they also have the BEST cheesesteak I've ever had). Brooklyn Square in Jackson. So many better places in NJ.

      Bro, definitely try Brooklyn Square in Jackson Township. The owner used to live in NYC & moved to NJ & opened his spots out there. The onion with cheese slice is to die for. I make the trip at least once a year from nyc, it's that good!
      Also, Palermo's in Bordentown. Unbelievable cheese. I had their regular cheese pie but the tomatoe one is great also from what I've heard.
      For dessert pizza, go to Brother Bruno's on Hamburg Tpke, Wayne, NJ. They're known for pizza with a sweet dessert like twist. Thank me later, lol. As a NY'er I have to admit NJ has America's best pizza. Like NJ is up there when it comes to pizza.

      Thanks for taking time to leave this comment! I'm no expert or judge, but I feel like you can miss out a lot from just trying out from plain slices. Not everyone enjoys regular slices, and some pizzerias are known for different types of sauces/toppings. In this video, I asked all the restaurants what the most popular items were and got whatever they said was most popular to get the best flavor/pizza experience unique to that location :) I try to make my videos so we can share the experiences together haha

      @@wandering_hams I’ll give you an example. My cousin used to order pizza from this place in Jersey that was just awful, pizza was brutal. This one time he ordered a chicken francese pie, and it was edible (not good or great), only because the chicken and lemon sauce (francese). Toppings can hide certain things, but it can’t hide how bad a pizza is. You’re basically enjoying the toppings, not the actual pizza.

      I never knew about it either. It's pizza with Dijon mustard sauce. It sounds.. questionable. But I promise you it's actually quite good. It just adds the tart, spiciness of the mustard to the pie, but doesn't overpower all the other flavors.

    wtf is buffalo chicken pizza??? You don't judge a quality pizza by ordering that garbage. I am from New Jersey...you order plain cheese and tomato sauce...that is the only way.
