I was taken to this amazing pizzeria by one of my co-workers, a fellow pizza enthusiast, after working on green infrastructure construction in Arlington Park, Jersey City. A little background: Krispy Pizza won the "Battle of the Boroughs" at the New York Pizza Expo back in 2005. Since then, they've opened several locations across NYC and New Jersey. Just as the name suggests, this slices were among the crispiest I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. The location is along the waterfront next to a large high-rise hotel in downtown Jersey City. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but has room to sit inside to eat (though I'd recommend eating along the waterfront if the weather is nice). There is a beautiful mural that serves as wallpaper and the employees were very friendly. The pizza crust and bottom was deliciously crispy and not burned in the slightest. The sauce was very fresh and full of flavor. The cheese was the perfect level of crispy, to the point where it was turning that crisp brown you get when it's almost burnt from high heat but not quite there. The cheese and the sauce did not slide off the slice as it was bitten into and the basil leaves really added to the flavor profile. I'm very excited to try their Old Bridge location as it is much closer to Rutgers University where I work and attend school. I cannot wait to take my girlfriend to try out Krispy Pizza's amazing slices.
