​Brooklyn Square has long been on my list of places to try. Pete Genovese  ranked it as #1 in New Jersey in 2019 and my good friend and fellow pizza enthusiast Dom has been pushing for me to visit for the longest time. It was by luck that I happened to be near the Manalapan location for work, so counted my lucky stars and stopped in for lunch. I wanted to try everything they had on display, it all looked amazing. I opted for the Brooklyn Square, the vodka sauce, and the Nonna. The Brooklyn Square slice had a soft, thick base with delicious cheese and an incredibly flavorful sauce that was packed full of spices. The vodka slice had the perfect, creamy, cheesy vodka sauce that every pizzeria strives for. It also featured a thin, crispy base that provides a good structure for the slice. The Nonna had a phenomenal, thick, juicy, sweet sauce and was complimented with great cheese and the same crispy base as the vodka slice. I know where I'm stopping if I'm ever back in the area. I'm definitely going to make the pilgrimage to the Jackson location when I get the chance.
