Star Tavern - East Orange

This place must have the best pizza in NJ. If you dont believe it, go try it

Legendary pizza spot. Super thin crust charred perfectly at the edges. Excellent flavor and sauce. Really 4.5 stars as the beer selection is commercial swill. Not a craft spot. Service a bit gruff but always quick. In a bit of a restaurant/bar desert so a good and much needed option for the area. Often crowded as it is in some tourist books and has been highly rated for its excellent pizza. Have been about a dozen times often with kids and we always leave satisfied. Good salads, too.

I know everyone raves about their pizza. If you like thin crust pizza this is the place. Personally I don't prefer thin crust but the pizza was very good. Toppings were tasty and service was great. Packed when we went Saturday night but didn't wait more than 10 minutes for a table. A Jersey tradition. Must try.

Food was delicious and service was amazing. The waitress was always there when we needed her.

Update: superb and blissful. Magic! I recommend eating in to have the fresh, hot- from- oven experience. The thin crust pizza is a staple of the area and is as good as the reputation that proceeds it states. It's simplicity, consistency and hard-to-pinpoint deliciousness are the stars of the shows. But if I had to say, it's the crust and sauce that make it special. The tavern itself is no-thrills and lowkey but fitting for its vibe and you don't really care once the the pizza hits your mouth. Good joint for dining-in or takeout: Family happy.
