New Jersey has no shortage of pizza places, and chances are they’ll all tell you they make the best pie in the state. DoorDash has weighed in, and only one Garden State pizzeria made the company’s list of the best local pizza spots in America.
The winner?
Coniglio’s Old Fashioned Pizza in Morristown.
The restaurant, located at 11 South Street, was the only New Jersey pizzeria included in DoorDash’s “Battle of the Slices 2026,” a ranking of 40 pizzerias across the country released in honor of Oct. being National Pizza Month.

Before you start wondering why your favorite neighborhood pizza joint was left off the list, there were some ground rules.

DoorDash considered smaller and medium-sized pizzerias with fewer than 10 locations and at least 1,000 customer reviews on its platform. The rankings were based on average consumer ratings from September 2025 through September 2026.
Coniglio’s is run by Nino Coniglio, whose passion for pizza has earned him the title ‘King of Pies.’ In 2005, Nino became a world champion pizza maker, winning the title at the World Pizza Championships in Italy. He’s since won the championship ten times.
The menu goes well beyond the traditional pie. Offerings include Nonna’s Square Spinach Pie, made with garlic, béchamel, mozzarella and spinach. There are also sandwiches, pasta, salads, antipasti, and pastries.
Online reviewers have praised everything from the crisp pizza crust to the meatballs and specialty pies.

Here’s a taste of the NJ pizza joints Dave Portnoy has reviewed
Dave Portnoy, commonly known as El Presidente, is the founder of Barstool Sports. Somewhere along the way, he decided to start reviewing local pizzerias, and the concept took off. This isn’t the entire list, but it’s a small sample to get you started.

New and classic favorites: The best dive bars in New Jersey
The term “dive bar” used to be something derogatory. Nowadays it’s more of a badge of honor to say to own one, go to one, or work at one.
We started in South Jersey, stopped A LOT in Central Jersey and ended in North Jersey. We left out the Jersey Shore bar because there are just too many to choose from. If your favorite isn’t on the list, don’t be offended, just tell us about it. Here we go…
