    I think the outdoor seating is great vibes in the summertime, but we thought the pizza was just meh. Like really nothing special about it. If you've had Lindustrie or Bleeker street pizza, those are still my top picks - for char, crisp, and doughiness.

    Absolutely amazing! I absolutely loved the pizza here. The servers were some of the nicest I've had the experience of having. I don't live in NJ anymore and the pizza is exactly the way I remember it. We ordered three pies, and each one was as good as the last. Can't wait to come back next time I'm back in NJ.

    MEATBALLS WITH RICOTTA
    Richard S.

    Delicious pizza, attentive service and well organized restaurant. Razza has serving pizza down to a science and their expanded interior really allows for a more enjoyable experience that doesn't feel as tight and cramped as other pizza spots in NYC. We went with all-classics for our trip here including the Kale Salad, Meatballs (with Ricotta) and a FUNGHI + SANTO pizza. To me, the meatballs were the star of the show. Rich, flavorful and a generous portion of ricotta surrounding a handful of delicious balls of meat. It felt perfectly seasoned and flavorful without being overly heavy or meaty. Our server recommended keeping the sauce in case we wanted to dunk any of our pizza crusts. That was a great idea, though his suggestion for a FUNGHI pizza fell a bit short. I've heard great things about it online so was a bit disappointed that it felt a bit bland and the lack of proper red sauce made it less attractive compared to the meat-forward Santo. Still, based on the number of reviews raving about the FUNGHI maybe it's just me and I think if you have enough people to split a few pies it's worth trying and seeing for yourself. Finally, I also liked how there were separate entrances and exits for pick-up / delivery orders that was separate from the main dining area so the space didn't feel crowded by Uber Eats and people waiting for pick-up. All in all, I found NYC pizza, especially from Massara (the sister restaurant of Rezdora) to be better. But still, no knock to Razza here and worth a visit if you live in NJ!

    Got the Calabrese, burrata, di Natalie They were all pretty good, I'd give it somewhere between 3.8-4, I think the crust could've had some more flavor overall but the toppings Made it good

    My friend mentioned I should try Razza out since I love pizza. I had this place bookmarked for some time and finally was able to stop by. Made reservations via Resy. There are two entrances, facing the building, the door on the left is the entrance to restaurant and the right is entrance for pickup (I went to the door on the right.. that's how I know). Place is dim but not too dark. Ate at the bar and it was nice. Ended up getting the Pepperoni ($28) and Burrata ($26) pizza. The pizza is Neapolitan-style. Both pies were solid especially the burrata, it was really interesting bc it didn't have a cheese pull but it was burrata cheesy. The dough was good and chewy. I obviously had a Coca Cola ($3) to wash down the pizza. Overall had a good experience and will try to get a table the next time I come back. * Highly recommend making reservations * Good service

    Honestly, the experience is hard to describe in one word. The pizza itself was seasoned well. The Margherita and mushroom pies had nicely balanced tomato sauce and good cheese flavor, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. However, the crust was burnt enough to affect the whole meal. The first slices were fine, but by the end it felt like chewing on charcoal. The smoky aftertaste stayed in my throat. The grapefruit cocktail didn't taste like grapefruit at all -- more like artificial lychee syrup. I took one sip and left it. Seating was also disappointing. It felt like they expanded into a neighboring café space without updating it. The lighting wasn't harsh, just very plain and flat, and the decor didn't match the main restaurant. The whole area felt unfinished and lacking atmosphere. The meatballs were just okay -- very standard, nothing memorable. In summary, while the pizza flavors were solid, the burnt crust, strange seating situation, and bad cocktail made the overall experience just average. Definitely reserve ahead if you're going.

    BREAD & BUTTER TASTING
    Riddhi S.

    I've been here 4-5 times already, and the experience has been consistently excellent every single time. We always start with the bread & butter tasting, which comes with three different flavored butters. The bread is served fresh and warm, and it's such a simple yet perfect way to begin the meal. Coming to the pizza -- absolutely amazing. We've tried the Margherita and Funghi, and both are outstanding. The pizzas are thin, light, and full of flavor, with a crust that's just perfect. It truly feels like authentic Italian-style pizza, and it's easy to see why this place is often called one of the best pizza spots around. I hype this place up all the time in front of my family and friends because it genuinely lives up to it. One thing to note: last-minute reservations can be difficult, so planning ahead is definitely recommended. Consistently great food, great quality, cozy vibes and a place I'll keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

    GET THE MEATBALLS AND RICOTTA. Wow I am still thinking about them weeks later. They were so soft and flavorful. The crusts of the pizzas were very light and had that wood fired taste. The food was phenomenal. The only reason this place is a 4 is because the price is insane. I'm not used to eating at this location often so I'm not sure if the pricing is typical but it was pretty pricey for $24-$30 for a personal pizza. Great experience though and would recommend :)

    We were visiting friends in Jersey City and they suggested we come here for dinner. Apparently it's very popular. Super cozy, intimate vibe with dim lighting. Seems like you definitely need a reservation. We had a 8:30pm Saturday reservation but weren't seated until 9pm. They specialize in Neapolitan style pizza. We started with the bread and butter and the meatballs with ricotta. The bread and butter was very fresh but not sure if it needs to be a menu item at $10. For pizzas, 4 of us shared the yellow margherita, calabrese, and burrata. They were all outstanding. The yellow margherita was unexpectedly my favorite. We actually didn't order the burrata, but it came on the house which was a nice surprise. They have a great drink selection as well. Two of us shared a bottle of vermentino and the other two had a few cocktails. I would happily dine here again and highly recommend.

    YELLOW MARGHERITA

    Great pizza. Great service. I cannot wait to go back. Parking was not easy, but there are lots not far away.

    Steph Y.

    Razza absolutely lives up to the hype. I love all of their pizzas, but the Cavolini is hands-down my favorite -- perfectly balanced and so flavorful (love the anchovy, lemon and brussel sprouts combo). The bread and butter tasting is such a fun and delicious way to start the meal, and the meatballs and kale salad are just as impressive. Cocktails are excellent, ambiance is warm and inviting, service is great and honestly, it's totally worth the wait. I never wait for pizza, but this is the rare exception. Without a doubt, Razza is my favorite pizza spot in Jersey!

    Emily C.

    We didn't have a reservation so got here right when they opened and we were seated pretty quickly. For a group of 5, we got the meatball appetizer and three pizzas. I'm not a meatball lover but those are some of the best meatballs I've ever had. The sauce was also flavorful and fabulous. The pizzas were all pretty good, with the crust being the highlight for me. Not sure I'd classify the pizza as life changing, but still was a decent meal.

    PANNA COTTA
    Diane S.

    This was our first time trying New York-style pizza, and it was solid! The crust was thick and crispy, but not overly so. They have a wide variety of pizzas, and the burrata one was absolutely to die for -- fresh, simple, but packed with flavor. The meatball with ricotta is a must-try; I even used the pizza crust to dip into it. The butter and bread are also a solid choice, and the panna cotta for dessert was super good. The space inside is huge, but definitely make a reservation. The ambiance is dim and fancy, which really sets the mood. Overall, a spot I'd happily come back to!

Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

Service was good. We had the fried chicken Benedict and the crab cake Benedict. I was a bit confused when I saw that each Benedict dish only had one poached egg - shouldn't it always be two?

Would I come back for brunch again? Very unlikely. But, it does seem like a pretty "safe choice" if you need a last minute reservation for a group.

The Amazake Kick was balanced with just the right amount of sweetness, making it a fantastic starter. For food, we ordered the scotch egg, sliders, and fish and chips. The scotch egg was solid, though the sausage layer felt slightly dry this time around. The sliders were great, while the fish and chips were decent--nicely crispy, but the fish needed a bit more flavor seasoning. We tried several other drinks throughout the night, and my top three recommendations would be the Amazake Kick, Hotmail, and Lock & Key. If you're searching for a cozy spot with great drinks and light bites, this place is definitely worth adding to your list!

It really is light and refreshing with egg foam on top; i like the smooth and creamy factor; it wasn't too sweet but had a slight brightening flavor - 3rd drink: dark and stormy and that was quite of an experience; i indeed felt the storm rumbling down my throat n tummy; do not order unless you're having a tumultuous day rating: 4/5 - i like the concept of not having a menu and you just tell them what you like, because it really challenges them on how well they can deliver what you're feeling; i personally think they slayed - lively vibes and nice lighting but music was a bit too loud n poppy for my preference - vibe was cool but more for friend hangouts not so much date - the service was amazing! I felt the 100% attention from the server as he listened to my order; he was also super demure and personable - the highlight of my night was when he took my order AND when he gave us the check which was his super cutesie pirate ocean drawing - id recommend come checking out if you have strong preferences for cocktails and know what you like!

    I usually go to Alamo Drafthouse in Brooklyn to watch movies but I got an invitation to a Soirée…read morehere for the movie, Wicked. I didn't know what to expect but I loved the Broadway show and I'm always down for immersive events. So I arrived at the Press Room and saw that there was a bar with a couple of tables surrounding it. It seems to be where the kitchen is for all the wonderful food that Alamo provides during the in-dining movie experience. I had to approach the bartender to find out where exactly this party was and he instructed me to look beyond the large curtain to the side just as if I were searching for the Wizard of Oz. As I tugged myself behind the curtain, I walked into a decent-sized room and with balloons and the words, "Welcome to Emerald City" in the front of the room with a DJ playing today's hits and of course, songs from the Wizard Broadway show. At first, I thought this was going to be a dance party but soon realized that it was going to be a craft party instead. There was a station for making your own broom, one to make a friendship bracelet, and another one for letter writing along with sealed wax to use on the envelope with different stamps. I sipped away an Old-Fashioned in my souvenir Wicked cup while singing along to the Wicked soundtrack and making a friendship bracelet for my daughter. This experience was relaxing and joyful so now I know my type of party consists of a craft night. Close to the end of the night, I participated in a Wicked costume contest. I lost but nevertheless, I had a good time. Ended the night with an order of burger before heading home to show off my creations. I can't wait to check out their other events and come here again!

    It's an enjoyable bar. It's slightly hidden away inside of an office building two flights down via…read morethe escalator next to the Alamo Drafthouse. Nice selection of alcohol, friendly bartenders and attentive service. Since it was tucked away it wasn't as crowded and I was able to spend an hour catching up with my friend and it wasn't overly crowded or loud.

    Apotheke was one of my first experiences with a hidden speakeasy a number of years ago, and it…read morestill remains the OG in my vast encyclopedia of experiences. :) Strolling down Chinatown's busy and gritty Doyers Street, looking for any sign of Apotheke is a fond memory, then finally figuring out where it was, and entering through the mysterious and otherworldly threshold resulted a transformative experience that made me feel like I time traveled. Mood lighting, comfortable seating, great drinks in a cozy and Victorian-inspired space are the perfect blend of unique and. I always felt like I was part of something special the few times enjoyed creative, delicious, and strong libations from the pros at the bar. While it has always been pricey, I do feel like the excellent service ambiance, and drink quality warrant this, but may prevent more folks from becoming regulars so to speak. I love the clever and compact bathroom design, too. IYKYK Long live Apotheke!

    Fifteen years later and Apotheke is still one of my favorites!…read more You will walk past this hidden speakeasy several times before finding it. I could tell you to look for the blue beaker sign that says "Chemist" but the better tell is the random guy sitting on a stool outside. He'll be the only person on the street, so no worries about missing him! The menu has changed over the years, but the quality has not. The bartenders are social and personable. And the prices are in line for the area. My bestie and I loved the vibe. One of the best speakeasies she's had the pleasure of experiencing. Don't miss out on this place!
