JERSEY CITY, NJ — Jersey City's Razza Pizza — once praised by the New York Times as having the region's best pizza — announced Thursday night that it has moved its takeout location to next door, and will soon reopen for indoor dining. The video announcement on social media earned more than 4,000 views in an hour, and many excited responses.

Recently, Dan Richer, the owner and chef at the critically acclaimed restaurant, published a book: The Joy of Pizza.

A description for the book notes, "Dan Richer has devoted his life to discovering the holy grail of pizza: the secret to making a truly transcendent pie. The pizza at his restaurant, Razza, has been named the best in New York by The New York Times—despite the fact it's in New Jersey."
