Date: 8/30/2019 Location: Bound Brook, NJ Pizza Ordered: Plain and Penne Vodka Website: None Phone: (732) 868-0488  Frank's is located in a bustling shopping plaza along with ShopRite and a liquor store. There is ample parking, plenty of seating and the restaurant is BYOB. I decided to go with a plain slice and a penne vodka slice.
The plain was fairly average. The cheese had a lot of stretch and the slice was slightly gummy. The charred base is a bit overpowering, but the fluffy crust was good at least. The penne vodka slice was much better. Vodka sauce tasted great and had a crispy bottom with a fluffy interior that I enjoyed.

Date: 9/01/2019 Location: Neptune, NJ Pizza ordered: Double Extra Large Plain Pie Website: https://peteandeldas.com/
Pete & Elda's is a popular, neighborhood sports bar and pizzeria that serves a quintessential bar pie. This spot is also known for their solo pie challenge where a patron can attempt a double-extra large pie and if the entire pie is finished solo, that person wins a t-shirt. Of course, this is exactly what my friend Charlie and I both decided to do.
The crust is perfectly thin and crispy, like any perfect bar pie. There are good portions of delicious sauce and plenty of salty cheese that ties the whole pie together. I really enjoyed this pizza. My friend Charlie also gave me the secret to finishing the challenge with ease: stack the slices. If you stack them, it's like you only have to finish 4 slices, and since they're so thin, you hardly even notice! I had a blast completing the challenge. The staff was very friendly and inviting and really made the entire experience positive. I noticed on their Instagram that they have a new shirt design and I'm counting the days until I can return for more delicious thin crust. Date: 6/21/2019 Location: Phillipsburg, NJ Pizza Ordered: Plain, White, and Sicilian Website: https://italysrestaurant.com/#home Italy's is a small local pizza joint that has the appearance of your typical neighborhood pizzeria. Lovely paintings of Italy adorn the walls and the atmosphere is warm and inviting.
I was extra hungry, so I went with my usual plain slice and added a white slice and a Sicilian slice. The meal came with complimentary bread that was pleasantly fluffy and had a good mix of herbs and spices on it. The plain had pretty decent sauce and cheese and the charred crust was good, but a bit burnt in some places. The white was very fluffy with a good helping of cheese. The square slice had really great sauce and parmesan and a nice amount of fluff to the base. Overall, I would say Italy's puts out a good average slice of pizza. |
