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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The menu goes well beyond the traditional pie. Offerings include Nonna\u2019s Square Spinach Pie, made with garlic, b\u00e9chamel, mozzarella and spinach. There are also sandwiches, pasta, salads, antipasti, and pastries.<\/p>\n
Online reviewers have praised everything from the crisp pizza crust to the meatballs and specialty pies.<\/p>\n

New and classic favorites: The best dive bars in New Jersey<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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…<\/p>\n
