New Jersey Pizzeria Was Named One Of The Best In The World

By Jeff Gorra September 15th

50TopPizza.it recently named the best pizzerias in the world, and a New Jersey restaurant made the list. In fact, this Jersey City establishment is in the top 15.

In total, Top Pizza’s ranking includes pizzerias from all over the world. It recognizes the best of the best in making a delicious pie. By the numbers, five New York pizzerias were also named among the 100 places here. Italy, by an overwhelming margin, is the country best represented here. 41 out of the top 100 pizzerias were based in Italy. (Teh website is based in Italy.)

In America, the cities that also made the list, in addition to Jersey City and New York. Portland, San Francisco, Phoenix, Miami, Kenmore, Wakefield (RI), Chicago, and Tampa had pizzerias in the top 100.

Razza Pizza Artigianale

Located on Grove Street, Razza Pizza Artigianale says they are “committed to making and serving the best pizza possible from our woodburning oven.”

Owner and chef Dan Richer honed his craft after spending time in Italy learning about the art of making pizza. At Razza, they cook artisan 12-inch pies. They offer 12 different pizza options as well. This includes your standard Margherita pie, and two other Margherita variations (one called a “Jersey” with fresh mozzarella and one called a “Yellow” that uses yellow tomatoes). In addition, there are numerous other variations to choose from. A mixed mushroom option stands out. The same holds true for the “Di Natale,” which is topped with olives, pine nuts and raisins.

Though it would be quite challenging not to order one of the aforementioned items, there are other menu choices at this New Jersey restaurant named one of the best pizzerias in the world for 2023. Salads, meatballs, and a chickpea appetizer are also available.

Razza Pizza Artigianale is open Tuesday through Sunday. Moreover, if you want to represent this hometown New Jersey establishment that was named one of the best pizzerias in the world, they sell merch as well.

2 New Jersey Destinations Among The Best For Solo Travel

There are some major benefits to taking a trip by yourself. The solitude gives you time to clear your mind and gather your thoughts. And it also enables you to create your own schedule, taking in the sights you set out for. Good Housekeeping published a report that details America’s best places for solo travel, and New Jersey was all over this list.

By The Numbers

In addition, Fifty Grande recently conducted a solo travel survey. They found that “52% of respondents said they planned to take a solo trip before the end of the year, and 64% of them planned to take that trip in America.” Furthermore, they found that 40% of those that participated in their survey answered “10” on a scale of 1-10 on how comfortable they were to travel alone. 83% said answered a 7 or above.

Other interesting items to note were 89% of the people had already taken a solo trip. The main reason was to “explore a new place and/or immerse in a local culture.” 22.9% said they traveled alone because it was “more fun when I’m 100% in control.”

Moreover, 52% of people plan on traveling solo before the end of the year. Much of that will be within the United States, Fifty Grande shows.

New Jersey is filled with areas that are prime for solo travel exploring. Of course, Atlantic City has a major nightlife scene. There are pristine golf courses all throughout the state, some of which are in close proximity to New York City (if you want to head in for dinner or a show). Finally, there are miles of beachside attractions along the Atlantic and historic sites deep in the heart of the Garden State. So, let’s take a look at the two New Jersey destinations that were named best for solo travel. They happen to over a hundred and thirty miles away from each other, and vastly different in terms of what you can explore there.

  • Princeton

    Home to the Ivy League Tigers, Good Housekeeping calls out the historic sites this central New Jersey town house to offer. “Princeton Battle Monument honors the battle fought and won by George Washington in 1777.” The University Art Museum and the Morven Museum and Garden often attract tourists from all over the world. Lastly, Carnegie Lake is one of the most serene spots in the state.

  • Cape May

    “Spend your day wandering the cute shops, sunbathing at the beach or climbing the 199 steps to the top of Cape May Lighthouse in Cape May Pointe State Park,” Good Housekeeping suggest. Cape May draws a lot of visitors in the summer months. It’s very common that you will find families, couples, and solo travelers among them. In addition to one of the most beautiful lighthouses on the east coast, you can visit winery’s, theaters, safaris, or just rest along the shore of the beautiful beaches.
