Pizza Town USA is a retro pizzeria on the side of Route 46. It's a pizza landmark in the state of New Jersey that I first found out about in Pete Genovese's book, "Slice of Jersey." This iconic pizzeria is cash only and has a few separate windows depending on if you're getting slices, a whole pie, subs, zeppolis, etc. The look and atmosphere of this establishment is reminiscent of a classic boardwalk pizzeria, featuring indoor wooden picnic tables for seating and a retro paint job. The prices are worked out perfectly accounting for New Jersey tax to come out to the whole dollar. The slices especially are among the most affordable I've ever eaten. The plain slices were absolutely tremendous. The cheese is amazingly fresh and the sauce is rich and delicious. The crust in incredibly crispy with a good crunch. The slices I ate easily are among the best plain slices I've ever had the privilege to enjoy. I really look forward to my next visit.
