Editorial Review for Tacconelli's Pizza – by Kent Steinriede

In Short
This family-style pizzeria is so popular it asks customers to call a day ahead to reserve pizza dough. Once inside, patrons find a jukebox filled with Italian and lounge-hall favorites, plus table and booths fashioned to fit a few generations. Watch the pizza makers sling the pies deep into the oven with an enormous pizza peel. The pie's thin crust and interesting combination of toppings are the draw here, especially the white pizza.

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

You'll need a half-dozen friends, your own booze, a pocketful of cash and a reservation.

Know Before You Go

Pizzas must be ordered a day in advance to avoid the 90-minute-plus wait due to crowds and volume of pies made per day.

It was a good pizza but not worth a drive from South Jesey. The "reserve your dough" policy is a gimmick to make you believe you can't live without tomato sauce on cooked dough. Ridiculous nonsense. Estimating dough needs at a successful pizza shop is not astro physics.

I have tried a lot of pizzas, & I love pizza. What I can tell you is that this is nothing more than average. I was actually angry that I drove all that way & fussed with parking for such a mediocre pie. Dont believe the hype.
