New Jersey has some of the best pizza in America, we all know that. Our pizzerias are constantly topping national lists and every time it fills me with pride. It also fills me with pizza because it’s hard to resist sampling the best in the country when it’s so close to home. Star Tavern in Orange is a popular pick and Papa’s Tomato Pies in Robbinsville has garnered significant critical praise. Both have been around (seemingly) forever but a newer restaurant is making waves.

Get ready to fall in love with Porta.
