Date: 03/15/2017 Location: Hillsborough, NJ Pizza Ordered: Plain and Margherita Website: [None] Phone number: (908) 359-2526 Angelo's II is located in a strip mall along Amwell Road on the post office side of the road. There's never a problem with parking and there are good seating options inside. Angelo's has long supported township recreation and has hundreds of photos of teams they've supported plastered all over the wall. It's always nice to have a local business support the town. The staff was polite and service was quick. The plain slice was pretty good, but could have used some more sauce. The cheese was rich and greasy and the base was very crispy. Crust was crispy as well. The margherita was very good, sporting fresh, rich tasting cheese. The cheese does have the tendency to slip off when you bite only a potion, so be warned of this. The sauce is very tasty and it seems that there are very thin slices of tomatoes on the pizza as well. I quite like this design because the tomatoes definitely add extra flavor, but aren't too thick to add too much weight to the slice. It should be noted that the base and crust were a tad well-done which can be seen in the picture. Overall, Angelo's makes some decent pizza and is worth the visit.

Date: 03/13/2017 Location: Robbinsville, NJ Pizza Ordered: Plain Tomato Pie Website: www.papastomatopies.com/ Before I review this pizzeria, you should know that Papa's Tomato Pies is considered the oldest family owned pizzeria in the United States and has ranked very high, if not the best on most national and New Jersey top pizzeria lists. The history and rankings definitely contribute to the hype surrounding this pizzeria and I am here to tell you that they are well deserved.
Papa's Tomato Pies is a cash-only, pizzeria that does have an ATM on site and ample parking outside what looks to be a typical house. There is a very nice seating area and a separate section for takeout. The staff is very polite and friendly and the service is relatively quick. The pizza is definitely some of the best I've ever had. The sauce is delicious with fresh, flavorful tomatoes and delightfully rich cheese that stretches nicely when you pull a slice from the pie. The base of the pizza is crispy and the crust is fluffy with good bready flavor. This pizzeria has truly earned its reputation and I look forward to future visits. Date: 3/02/2017 Location: New Brunswick, NJ Pizza Ordered: Chicken Bacon Ranch and Plain Website: www.knightsexpresspizzagrill.com/ Knights Express is a small pizzeria on Easton Avenue closer to Tacoria, Paulie's Pizza and what was the NJ Book Store. Parking at this establishment isn't very convenient, as it is street parking and Easton Ave at this section is usually very busy. The interior itself has a decent amount of room for sitting at normal sized tables, which have the Rutgers Knight carved into them (a nice touch). There is a very good drink selection and another positive for this pizzeria is that it's open earlier than nearly every other pizzeria on Easton Avenue. You can purchase breakfast at this pizzeria if you wanted, which is a nice convenience. There's also an ATM inside.
The plain slice was run-of-the mill. Nothing too special about this slice, but it wasn't bad. The crust was fluffy and the slice had a salty taste to it. It wasn't overly greasy and the cheese tasted fresh enough. The sauce was on the sweeter side, but still pretty good. Like many pizzerias in this area, it would have been better to have more sauce on it. The Chicken Bacon Ranch slice was extremely filling, but not overly amazing. It was greasier than the plain slice on account for the 50% more cheese they put on it. The amount of ranch to cheese was fair, but the bacon wasn't crispy enough for my liking. It wasn't bad, but I thought that if the bacon were crispier, it would have made for a better slice. Date: 2/21/2017 Location: New Brunswick, NJ Pizza Ordered: Margherita and Palermo Girlfriend: Vodka Sauce and Plain Website: krispypizza.com/ When I heard that a Krispy Pizza was coming to Rutgers, New Brunswick I was ecstatic. I knew immediately that it would steal the top of the best pizza in New Brunswick list having been to the Jersey City location and really enjoyed the pizza there. I can honestly say that the New Brunswick location is the same excellent quality as the Jersey City location. The atmosphere is very much the same with a large mural on the wall and a very Italian cashier. There is more indoors seating in the New Brunswick Krispy Pizza than the Jersey City location, but there is also some outdoor seating available which will definitely get used during the spring and summer months. Parking isn't easy for this location. There are meter spots on Hamilton Street but a majority of the people coming here for lunch will be College Students living in the Yard or on campus for classes. The location is extremely convenient as it is located right across from Scott Hall and next to a major College Ave bus stop.
The margherita slice was absolutely delicious. The sauce is perfect and flavorful and the cheese is fresh and chewy. The crust and bottom of the pizza were extremely crispy (or should I say krispy?). The palermo slice was very filling and combined the delicious Krispy Pizza sauce with perfectly sauteed onions. It was a real treat of the highest quality. Luckily for me, my girlfriend doesn't mind sharing and I managed to grab a bite of her slices. The vodka sauce slice was pleasant with a creamy sauce and good flavor. The plain slice was surprisingly buttery and salty. Not what I expected....but in a good way! The crust and bottom weren't as crispy as the other slices, but this could just be a fluke. Overall, I'm very confident this location will place in the Top 3 for my Rutgers Power Ranking...if not Number 1! |
