    The South Ward isn't just the center but everything for some of us who grew up there. And the upside down traffic sign at the bottom of a signpost with ropes on it was hilarious and on point. Plus the Pastrami sandwich looked yummy; pastrami sandwiches, pizza, food from a Chinese restaurant, and hot dogs were the 4 major food groups when I was little

    Just your opening (Halsey & Cedar) brings back SO many memories. Halsey was the place for boots & sneaks, the 🌭 spot down on the corner (Raymond). Best Blimpie’s back in the day. Then head towards Broad to snag hats/gloves from the street vendors. Thx for the memory jog of home Matt. #201Life!

      Sprinkle a slight bit of water into the pan too. It'll create steam to help the pizza retain the right amount of moisture.

    Queen‘s Pizza was one of the first spots that my mom used to take me to back in the early 90s when it used to be down the street from where it is at now. Pizza is good but only when you eat it there once you get home and the best way to eat, it is at home is in the toaster oven or in the oven no microwave cause it’s worse

    Hey Matt. Yeah It looks good. But I just be so skeptical. Cause Whenever someone says they have good pizza… cause I’m old-school and I know what good pizza taste like. I haven’t found none in a while… mainly when I go to the Italian spots, it’s much better when you see all Italians in the kitchen.. but nowadays, you got a lot of Latinos making pizza and to me it’s not the same.. It’s like the Italian have a special touch to how they make their pizza with love and culture… that’s just my opinion..💯🤷🏽‍♂️💪🏽

    None nutley has the best pizza.. you need to go to Italians to get a good pizza. For example why would I go to a Chinese restaurant for oxtails. When you know for a better oxtails you would go to a soul food restaurant. Plus it's just a plain pizza. I don't know if you can judge from just a plain pizza.

      Hi James. This is Queen. Are they not Italian owned and operated? And ok I will add yours. Also, I figure if you can't make a Good Chees pizza, the buck stops there's. What should I get at your suggestion in Nutley? I may pay them a visit before I start my adventure. Thanks my friend. OH and where is NONE Pizza?
