Pizza Como, Clinton, NJ

I’m up in NY for a long weekend to see some friends and stopped by a buddies place in Clinton, NJ last night. He took me to this little hole in the wall pizza joint called Pizza Como and I had to write about it because it’s the best pizza I’ve ever had. I grew up in the South where you always hear that the pizza doesn’t compare to up north, and no one ever believes it until they come up here. I’ve learned replicating that perfectly crispy chewy crust and use of simple fresh ingredients is a fine art that only the pizzerias of the tri-state area have mastered. Sure there’s a lot of commercial joints that don’t do it right up north, but when you find a hole in the wall spot like Pizza Como that has family history in Sicilia, Italia, you know its good. 5 stars ($)
