Princeton NJ Real Estate - The Best Pizza

Princeton NJ - Places to eat - The best pizza in Princeton NJ

Giving advice about good pizza place is not easy. There are probably as many opinions about what constitutes  good pizza, as there are pizza eaters, which is a lot.  What qualifies me to render such opinion? Quite honestly, my credentials as a pizza critic are limited: 1. I like pizza; 2. In my twenty years in the area, I probably ate pizza at most local shops; 3. I lived in Italy and remember the taste of the “real” stuff.

My choice, at the moment, for the best pizza in Princeton is Alfonso’s Pizzeria & Restaurant located at 1225 State Road, Princeton, NJ.
The pizza is great and there is a choice of regular Italian dishes as well. They serve bread  (even with pizza), and it is hot and crusty and better than in many pricey restaurants.

In addition to good food, you are always made to feel welcome. Earlier this year, for some unexplainable reason, we had a reduction in our pizza consumption and did not go to Alfonso’s for a while.  We went back after several months and to my surprise, they remembered us, our usual order and that my son likes additional ricotta cheese on his part of the pie. There aren’t that many places like this left anymore.

Alfonso’s Pizzeria & Restaurant is open daily from 10am to 10pm.
