Pizza Place In Hudson County Ranked 4th Best In US: ItalianFood.Net

HUDSON COUNTY, NJ — Hudson County knows pizza, from the hotly anticipated restaurants like Madison Pizza Lab in Hoboken to the family-owned joints like Carmine's in Jersey city.

But ItalianFood.net's recently published list of the 50 Top Pizza Places in the United States cites one in particular: Razza Pizza Artigianale in Jersey City, which recently moved next door and expanded.

ItalianFood.net's list mostly contained big-city pizzerias, like in New York, Miami, and Chicago.

But in New Jersey, it includes both Razza and Bricco Coal Fired Pizza in Haddonfield, in South Jersey.

Razza was ranked number 4, while Bricco came in at 45.

The Top 5 In The US:

1. Una Pizza Napoletana – New York
2. Tony’s Pizza Napoletana – San Francisco
3. Ribalta NYC – New York
4. Razza Pizza Artigianale – Jersey City
5. O’Munaciello – Miami

What's Special About Razza?

Razza, run by chef and author Dan Richer, has already claimed other accolades, including a New York Times story saying that the best pizza in the New York area may be in New Jersey.

The eatery specializes in a limited menu of breads and thin-crust specialty pizzas such as Jersey Margherita (with fresh Jersey Girl mozzarella from South Jersey) and the Zucchine pie. It's located in a business district near the Grove Street PATH station, full of interesting restaurants and shops.
