A widely debated topic, we wanted to try and narrow down a list of restaurants that we believe every New Jerseyan should experience at least once in their lifetime. You’ll find a wide range of restaurants in this article, from basic pizzerias to some of the top dining destinations.

Library II | Voorhees, NJ

Razza | Jersey City, NJ

In a never ending of sea of NJ pizzerias there's one that stands out from the rest and that's Razza. A must try for any pizza lover, the difference here at Razza is the way each pizza is distinctly dressed. From combinations like hazelnut, ricotta, mozzarella, and honey to fermented chili paste, caramelized onions, ricotta, oregano, parmesan, and mozzarella... there's no wonder Razza is often regarded as having the best pizza in the state.
