If you've read the post regarding my favorite BYO's, or if you live in central New Jersey, you'll have heard of De Lorenzo's Tomato Pies.For the uninitiated, De Lorenzo's has The Best tomato pies. Period.
Recently, a new De Lorenzo's opened up and, even though I didn't think it was possible, improved upon a very long standing level of excellence. The new digs in Robbinsville, New Jersey are modern, spacious, is peppered with family pictures from generation past, but above all, server the same great pizza as they did on Hudson St. Sam Amico, third-generation pizzaiolo, has continued the family tradition of making the best tomato pies in the country. As I've commented on before, I've been going to the two original De Lorenzo's for at least 20 years and without question, Sam is making his grandfather proud. You can still only get tomato pies here, but he's added a few very nice salads (try the Mixed Greens salad) to hold you over while you wait - and yes - you will wait, but it is SO worth it.
While still a nice cheap night out for a family, its also very nice to be able to use your credit card - something you cant do at either of the other De Lorenzo's. It is typically about $50 for a family of four, but each of my rapidly growing sons devour their own pie, so all in all, still quite a bargain in my eyes.
