Razza

Razza absolutely lives up to its reputation. When I first moved to Jersey City, this was one of the places everyone talked about, and the hype is well deserved. The food is excellent, and it feels like a place that puts real care into every ingredient. We started with the bread and butter sampler, which was delicious. The butters were fresh and interesting, and I liked learning about the sourcing and background behind them. For pizza, we had the pepperoni and cheese pies. Both were fantastic, with an excellent super-thin crust and high-quality toppings. The price is definitely on the higher side for a personal pizza, but the quality makes it worthwhile. The pizzas are thin enough that each person will probably want their own. One of the best pizza experiences in Jersey City.

Outstanding service! The staff is wonderful, which is especially impressive given how popular the restaurant is right now. While the pizzas didn't completely blow my mind, the crust is great, the toppings are fresh, and I'd happily return for them. The real star, though, is the meatball dish—absolutely extraordinary. Don't skip them; I’d come back just for those alone! The bread and salumeria were also very nice, and while the wine list is small, it has some great pairings for the pizza. I’d be thrilled to have this as my local neighborhood spot. Seating was surprisingly easy to come by since Razza spans two whole buildings on the block. Go here. Forget the accolades this restaurants has receive. Just enjoy what will be a fantastic experience in a lovely part of New Jersey.

SO disappointed. Tiny pizza (see my photos). $120 for 1 small appetizer, two micropizzas with burnt crust, and 1 glass of wine. I ate 4 out of 6 slices and was hungry two hours later. Add in $10 to park 4 blocks away and wear a sweater in July because the they want us to “chill”, I believe. Don’t get me started about the slim pickin’s bar. So here’s my challenge: go to Amano’s in Matawan. Half the cost, twice the food, and far more satisfying an experience.

We galavanted over to Jersey City to try Razza after hearing it was one of the best pizza spots around. As someone from Chicago who usually prefers a different style of pizza (and isn’t typically a wood-fired pizza fan), I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed every bite. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with warm wood accents and exposed painted brick that create a cozy atmosphere. One quick tip: we accidentally entered through the wrong door, so look for the entrance with the awning. We ordered the Caesar salad, zucchini pizza, arugula pizza, and meatballs, which was the perfect amount for our group of three. Everything was delicious, but the zucchini pizza was the standout. The staff suggested squeezing fresh lemon over the top, and it completely elevated the pizza. I’d never had zucchini on a pizza before, and now I’m wondering why! The service was friendly and knowledgeable, and I also loved that you can order pizza to enjoy in their outdoor beer garden. Definitely worth the trip.

Very traditional Neapolitan style pizza - tastes exactly how a VPN should taste - clean, airy, high quality ingredients. Dinged one star for no buffalo mozz which is required when needing a real DOP fix, and also a minor burn ring on the undercarriage near the cornicione. Overall, very good pie. I was expecting something different given all the accolades, but it’s simply very well executed VPN pizza.
