Top This: Mark Bello's Pizza (a Casa) Sausage

You can also crush larger fennel seeds with a mortar and pestle, to make them blend into the sausage mix better

Frozen Pizza: The Original Naan Pizza Spinach and Paneer Cheese

Trader Joe's frozen naan bread does really make a great pizza crust as well as being the best frozen naan on its own, to accompany various Indian dishes. Re the Deep Naan Pizza, though, I'm boycotting Deep products since they went cheap on their Tandoor Chef Chicken Tikka Masala, which used to offer a full container of wonderful chicken and sauce but now only has a half container of chicken and sauce, fills the rest with rice! Same price, half the protein

Raritan NJ: De Lucia's Brick Oven Pizza

Agree with Nick about De Lucia's, disagree with Scott: rigid, disappointing and not all that tasty. The best thing about it is the ambiance.
Agree with Paulie about Stan's Chitch's: not only classic tavern atmosphere but awesome bar pies for great value!

How Do You Cut Your Pizza?

Just ordered that blade featured in the NYT, it's like a big version of the little ulu knife I got in Alaska, which got dull and hard to sharpen. Most little wheels are too wimpy and a regular knife always makes it ragged... so hoping this Pizza Que does the trick

Poll: Do You Eat and/or Dip Your Pizza Crusts?

Agree with those who say a good pizza slice is seamless, eating the crust should be as good as the rest of it. And with a great Neapolitan pie, getting to the puffy, blistered cornicione even comes as the peak of the experience! If you have to treat your crust as the dregs, the leftover part, what's the point?

However, sometimes on a good NY-style thin slice that is good, by the time you get to the crust, it may be a bit dried out, albeit still tasty. Then, if I'm home and have some marinara or other sauce, I'll heat it up for dipping. But if turns out to be a so-so pie that was worth eating mostly for the toppings, I'll throw the crust to the dog.

Openings: Nomad Pizza Co., Hopewell, New Jersey

@pauliegee LOL, Michael's aviation career began at Pizza and Pasta! Such a perfect combination of two prominent themes!
Wow, Anthony Mangieri visited Nomad too... a friend of mine who grew up in Hopewell a long long time ago keeps telling me what a hick town it used to be, and I assured her it's now quite the culinary mecca

About how often ARE you eating at Nomad, Paulie? I keep trying to get back down there -- enjoy Saturday, I may be visiting Spike Mendelson's burger place in DC

Of course, if the stationary Nomad had been open at that time last year, it would have been #1, hands down.

You must have only read the story about yourself back in Feb., Paulie! :)
In the overall survey story, DeLucia's (not DeLuca's) was # 7 in the top ten

Openings: Nomad Pizza Co., Hopewell, New Jersey

Made it to Nomad this evening; got there three minutes before 5, but the staff was welcoming and the late afternoon light streamed in, making the whole interior golden and accenting the beautiful blue of the oven tiles.

By a few minutes after 5, at least a third of the 50 or so seats had been taken, including many at the long communal table that takes up most of the center of the small room. The wind was brisk and only one diner opted to sit at an outside table during the time we were there... space is going to be a challenge as the pizza world beats a path to Nomad's door!

The herb garden and fountain visible from the windows are still vibrant and green and truly add to the feeling of being in a very special place.

The pizzas are nothing less than transcendent... being already familiar with Simply Grazin's excellent pork, I had the spicy sausage pie, in which the tomatoes, caramelized onions and meat married perfectly and in balance with the sublime crust.
No need to look to NY anymore, Jersey pizzaphiles!
