Any time we talk about New Jersey’s best pizza joints, Federici’s Family Restaurant almost always comes up.

Their pizza is famous, and for good reason. Their thin pies are so crisp and delicious, you’ll wonder why you ever went anywhere else.

After being family-owned for over 100 years, they’ve got pizza making down to an artwork.

Some support came in the form of a visit from Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy a few years back.

Dave Portnoy gave Federici’s pizza a score of 8.8

He described their pizza as “a good looking bar pie,” noting, “Man, this is good. Hear that crisp?”

8.8. Worth the trip. - Dave Portnoy on Federici’s

Pro tip: you can get their homemade salad dressing on the side (or to go), and not only is it great on their Ceasar salad, but it’s perfect for dipping pizza in.

Happy anniversary, Federici’s! Here’s to 104 more.
