The beet salad is one of my favorites. The dressing and everything about it is super delicious. We also had the funghi and margarita pizza we typically get. Tried the corn pizza and loved that it had a little kick too. We also ordered the olive oil cake and that was pretty good too. It was a bit dense but still delicious
We finally went back. It's been years. I figured they got the pest situation under control by now. I was pleasantly surprised to see their expanded dining space, which looks great. Our server was great and was really on top of everything. The bread and butter are a must even though you will be loading on more carbs later. The seasonal fall salad with roasted squash was delicious. We enjoyed the pizzas we ordered. My husband liked the corn pizza while I liked the di natale more. The crust is incredible in how thin it is yet it maintains its crispness and not get floppy. It is too much of a hassle to drive from Bergen county to Jersey City but I think it will be a regular stop coming back from the city.
Loved being able to make an online reservation in advance. Definitely glad we did since it was pretty busy for a Saturday. Give yourself time to find street parking, otherwise there's a parking lot within walking distance. Another great perk about Razza is being able to utilize my Chase dining credit. The tables are very intimately organized. Service was attentive. The pizza was super fresh and we enjoyed the pies we shared. The real star of the show were the meatballs. We had already ordered bread (also good, but some of the butters are an acquired taste) and almost skipped the meatballs. So glad that we didn't! Definitely worth a visit. :)
We had heard so many good things about Razza that we took the drive from NY, but it sort of missed the mark for us in terms of service. The server we had, along with the runners we had, were all quite lackluster and seemed to just want to turn the table quickly. For a place with so much buzz and good pizza to back it up, one would think that the servers would be more excited or happier to work there. Foodwise, the pizza is good - they really deliver on the quality of the ingredients. Excited to try a new restaurant, my party of two ordered 3 pies (their pies are slightly larger than personal pies and eats light). The dough to the pizza is top notch. The pizza is thin but has a good chew to it and I appreciated that the roll of the dough is slightly different depending on what toppings they're holding. For example, the burrata (which was more like stracietella and not burrata) was thinner than the funghi that had heavier toppings. The flavor of the pizzas were well balanced. The shaved onions on the Funghi and Santo pie gave the flavors a lot more depth than other mushroom and sausage pies at other pizzerias. The pies itself ate light and were fluffy with a slight chew, which we really liked. I also like that the dough was seasoned and flavorful. The salad was disappointing though. The $18 kale Caesar was not only bland but the kale was rough and tough. It needed some more massaging to tenderize the leaves. While it was dusted with a good amount of parm, you couldn't really taste anything as it lacked salt and acid. The meatballs were ok. They had good flavor and were tender; perhaps a little too tender? The sauce was excellent but the meatball itself was missing just a little texture. All in all, Razza is a solid 3.5 - I prefer better service from restaurants that charge $25+ for personal size pizzas. Should I be in the neighborhood, we may give it another go, but there are certainly places with the same or better quality of pizza and better service through the other side of the tunnel.
I love bread, and this is an excellent place for people who love bread. The pizza was delicious, too, but I keep on finding myself thinking back to the bread. I stopped by in a group of 3 for dinner and we decided to start the meal with their bread and butter tasting ($18). If you love butter, this is totally worth it! You get to try two varieties of their baked in-house breads and the cultured butters they serve are really fun to try. I appreciated that the butter servings were big enough that I could slather a generous layer of the butter onto each piece of bread. My only regret was not ordering more bread. Another pleasant surprise was their salad! I'm usually not one to order salads at restaurants (I could just make it at home!) but I was pleasantly surprised by the salad they had that day. We ordered 3 of their pizzas to try a variety and to take leftovers home. The pizzas were savory, cheesy, and the crust was as delicious as I'd expect! But if I were to be completely honest, I'd save my stomach space to just have a meal full of their bread.
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
We had not made reservations in advance, so we purchase pizzas and eight in the seating available in front of the restaurant. It was nice to have this options since we had wanted to try this pizzeria. The service was pretty prompt considering they were very busy and we ordered 'to go' food. But I would have to say that the visit was completely worth it because the pizzas were delicious. Most amazing of all is the hazelnut with ricotta cheese with honey pizza. I like hazelnuts, but I'm not sure I would have ordered this one. Somebody else in my group ordered it and we had to order two more because it was so good. The ambience inside look nice but we didn't get a chance to enjoy it on this visit.
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.
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
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!
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!
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.

Wow- this was some seriously good pizza! Staff were very nice and attentive. The place is very cozy, two wood fire ovens in the back are constantly working to make fresh pizza. It takes a little while for the orders to come since they're all made fresh but it was worth it! I'll be coming back when the seasonal menu changes. read more
Crust: thinner base but the outer crust is bready and fluffy Sauce: could be more flavorful In order of preference: funghi, guancia, yellow margharita. thought the yellow margarita was a bit bland, loved the onions and chives on funghi read more

Paid 180 dollars for dinner: 2 little bar pie pizzas and 4 drinks; as soon as I finished my meal I payed but I was still finishing my drink ; no more then one second after I payed the bill as I was drinking my drink mid sip this Asian woman hostess came over to me as rude as possible as I was finishing my drink and said "we have other patrons you have to get up" I was still finishing my drink and literally just paid 180 dollars. So utterly disrespectful. This is a photo of how much of the drink I had in my hand that I had to chug or leave it there. Never will be back out of the pure disrespectful behavior. Get thrown out mid drink right after paying 180$. Hostess should be fired for not using decent discrepancy. read more

Quite possibly one of the best pies I've had in the NYC area, or even in the world! Perfectly cooked, thin, and crispy all at the same time. Having tried many different pies, my favorite is still the classic Margherita pizza. A close runner-up would be the Burrata. There's quite a bit of seating indoors with a cozy modern ambiance, but the service at the pickup counter is quite fast as well. Razza is a great hidden gem in JC! read more

It was our first night in JC since moving so I really wanted to try razza out. We didn't dine in, we just did a takeout which I would highly recommend. The walk back to the apartment isn't too bad so the pizza was still warm and fresh. I love a good margherita but I wanted to try their yellow one and man -- the tomatoes on there were just so good. And the pepperoni was crispy and yummy and to die for. the pepperoni was probably my favorite. The meatballs were also very delicious - just wish there was more ricotta ! Also look how THIN !! read more
Hanging out in Jersey City, we ordered several pizzas for take out. This is Neapolitan Pizza. The crust is super thin with a thick, hard crust. The cheese/toppings were thin as well. I would have preferred a healthier layer of all the toppings on all the pies. Each pie has 6 slices. The cost per pie is expensive. So.....for me, the NATALE (olive pie) is the standout. The olives make the pizza's flavor truly kick in with its salty olives and cheese. Next up, the CALABRESE (spicy) was nicely spicy and combined well with the cheese. The Margarita pie was tasty. The Tomato Pie, different from the tomato pies in Philly, needs more sauce. The BOSCO (mushroom) pie was our least favorite. Now, the potato pie pizza with potato slices, was the groups favorite. It tastes like a potato pierogi. This seems to be a pizza that is not always available and the group felt they would like to see this as a permanent staple. The pizza is not what you'd expect from a traditional pizzeria. It's definitely filling and before you know it you've consumed lots and lots of slices. I personally prefer traditional pies, but this was a nice treat and I would not be against having another pie. read more
Was super busy and lively even on a Monday night! We had a 5pm Resy and the food came out promptly. For a party of 4, our server recommended 3 pizzas - so we got the Burrata, Calabrese, and Guancia Pizza and Meatballs. The menu is pretty simple - 4 app options (in which 2 are bread and butter options), 3 salads, and many pizza choices. Overall the pizzas are very simple in terms of sauce and toppings - thin style with a crispy crust. Would love to visit again and try other pizzas on the menu! read more
My daughter & I had an 8pm reservation on a Monday night. Place was packed! Server was very nice. We ordered a Margherita pizza (fyi it's 6 smaller slices) & a few drinks. My glass of red wine was cold which I wasn't a fan of. I like room temp / warm red wine but anyway..... Great ambiance but if going here for a date night beware it's very loud. read more
Ordered: Rockey's Hugo Spritz (~$15): Rocky's botanical liquor, Prosecco, Club Kale Caesar Salad (~$18): Tuscan kale, caesar dressing, sourdough croutons, parmigiano Yellow Margherita Pie (~$26): yellow tomato passata, fresh mozzarella, basil Panna Pie (~$26): tomato sauce, PA cow's cream, fresh mozzarella, aragula Calabrese Pie (~$26): fresh mozzarella, ricotta, fermented chili paste, shaved onions, oregano, parmigiano Corn Pie (~$27): fresh mozzarella, NJ corn, fermented chili paste, shaved onions Olive Oil Cake (~$14): with seasonal fruit (peach) and whipped cream Tiramisu (~$14) Aya's take: My 2222nd review! It's no secret that NJ has a highly competitive pizza scene (hard for me to admit as a New Yorker). I was excited to visit Razza which checked in at #11 on the Italian pizza website 50TopPizza and was even noted as the best pizza in NY by The New York Times despite being west of the Hudson River. As far as the ambiance, it's a notch or two above casual, it's dimly lit, and pretty loud even on a Tuesday night. I started off with Rockey's Hugo Spritz which was light and refreshing with an essence of florals in every sip. The Kale Caesar Salad was a good try but it felt very flat to me. The kale was a bit too tough/chewy and the dressing was missing (maybe lemon juice or an acidic component). The pizza absolutely made up for it. We were 4 people and shared 4 pies which at first seemed like a lot but the pizzas are small and not dense. The dough is light, the crust is thin, and the undercarriage was absolute perfection! As for flavor, the Corn Pie was my favorite. The Calabrese Pie is very similar minus the corn. The fermented chili paste is bursting with flavor; I highly recommend getting at least one pie with it. The other two were solid pies but didn't blow me away. Both desserts, on the other hand, were so damn good! The Olive Oil Cake was moist and the whipped cream was light, sweet, and paired well with each bite. The Tiramisu was also a great try too; moist, creamy, and balanced with the coffee and chocolate flavors. I'm not one to repeat restaurants often but I would absolutely come back to try a few other pies that caught my eye. Long story short, Razza is worth the hype! read more

What I really appreciate about Razza is having a spot like this in New Jersey. It's the kind of place that proves you don't have to cross a river to find excellent pizza. The fundamentals are dialed in, and the mushroom pizza is a great example of that, it's balanced, flavorful, and cooked properly. A place that focuses on execution over hype and delivers consistently. read more

When in New York / New Jersey one must indulge in some of the local cuisine such as pizza. Can't recall exactly how I came across this place but finding myself spending a few days in Jersey City, I made it a point to try Razza. A friend and I show up and opted to enter the dine in entrance as there is a separate one for take out yet there are people seated there as well. A little confusing to say the least. Anyhow entered asked the hostess for a table for 2 and told there was only place at the bar (it's 5:45pm on a Wednesday evening??). Anyhow sat at the bar, bartender was friendly and gave us a rundown of the specials and took out cocktail orders. Man they were good, well worth the $16. The we ordered the meatballs to start along with the special squash salad and a pizza to share. The salad was very tasty, fresh and good to share between the 2 of us. The meatballs followed next and we were pleasantly surprised to find 6 meatballs with some ricotta and tasty tomato sauce. Meatballs were good, not dense, moist and tasty. I love spice so a little extra red chili flakes would have been nice. The pizza followed and we ordered one that had some chili paste. Pipping hot fresh out of the stone oven, perfect to share with 3 slices each (no not the big ones you get in other places). So the pizza is a good size for 1 per person (assuming you're hungry). The dough was phenomenal, thin with the right amount of char. Probably the best I have had in a long time. As you can tell this is not the place for you if you want deep dish or a doughy pizza base. Towards the end of the meal the place was packed, music was good and the atmosphere was very pleasant. I will definitely come back to Razza every time I am in Jersey City. read more
Here's the deal: another can't miss meal at Razza . A Top notch Neapolitan pizza with an amazing crust. Not shown in pictures are the bread and butter, sample platter, meatballs, and delicious beet salad all worth trying! read more

Razza never disappoints with their pizza, the bread and butter tasting was the perfect starter and the kale salad was really good as well. The service was quick and everyone was very kind, would go back for sure! read more
Razza is located in downtown Jersey City and it is definitely a vibe place. The entire establishment gives very rustic vibes. The place is always packed. It can also be very hard to get a reservation. I really enjoy their corn pie here. It has a nice kick to it and bring some good heat, they also offer a bread service where you get to try a variety of different spreads, which I found to be very unique. It's not one of my favorite pizza spots in New Jersey, but if I was in the area and wanted pizza, I would come here. read more

Great service. I was seated quickly as a walk in at the bar where the bartenders were super attentive. Served with tap water from a glass bottle (left with me for easy refills) and I got a Hugo Spritz. I ordered the kale caesar which was delicious. Creamy dressing and really good croutons, covered in cheese. I ordered the margherita pizza which was delicious. The crust held up well, ever by the last piece. read more

have tried the pizza here twice now- first time i just did take out. the pizza was good, but it didn't necessarily blow me away the way i was expecting. second time i came and dined in and got the calabrese pizza with the kale caesar salad. i did enjoy the salad but it did feel like it was missing something! pizza was fantastic and the chili oil and flakes were perfect additions you can ask for. the pizza is crispy, hot, and flavorful!! i think the price is kind of steep though with them being $25-$30 per pie with 6 slices. overall a solid pizza spot- can't say it's the best I've had though. read more
I've been hearing about Razza for a while now, and they never have reservations available last minute. I finally made the commitment to come out here and made a reservation weeks in advance. I had really high expectations but unfortunately, my experience fell flat. Don't get me wrong, Razza is a solid pizza place, but for the prices and wait, I'm just not sure it was worth it for me. As for how the night went, we were seated right away. The interior is dimly lit and nice for a casual date night. I will warn that it is a bit tight and the tables are pretty close together. I ordered the Santo and while I could tell that the ingredients were fresh, I couldn't taste the chilli oil at all. I thought it would be an explosion of flavor but it was just a standard pizza in my opinion. My drink was much the same, just a little bit of flavor. Not bad by any means, but not memorable. My whole night here was just alright. It's worthy of a try as the pizza was good, but again, I really would want a mind blowing experience for these prices so probably won't be returning. read more
The pizza here is good and is much better than some other pizza places in the area. Even though the pizza was pretty thin and ingredients seemed to be lacking, the slices were consistent with a fair amount of char and they did not fall flat or get soggy. Service was also pretty good as well considering we got a spot right when they opened...it could only be booked through Resy. I think all the hype surrounding this place and the "exclusive" experience of being able to snag a table since they're open for no more than 7 hours a day is what drives people to come here. Ambiance feels like that of a fancy restaurant but at the end of the day, it's just pizza. While the pizza was good (we got pepperoni and yellow margarita), it wasn't anything that blew us out of the water enough to justify paying around $28 per pizza. read more

I'm not a pizza expert, but I've made enough Neapolitan pies to know that floppy slice = bad pizza. And Razza did not deliver the flop, so in my mind, they equal good 'za. We got the Yellow Margherita, which was loaded with delectable tomatoes jaunes and the classic Marg because who doesn't want their pie to have red sauce, cheese and basil Genovese? All good, all tasty, further complemented by friendly staff and a cherry, buzzy ambience where people seem to actually enjoy existing. Would I brave the crowds to come back? Nah. But I would brave the interwebs to make another resy ahead of time. Si, si. read more
The only reason for the 4 stars.....it's not my usual style of pizza. I'm more of NY slice kinda girl. I'm also a HUGE Lucali fan, and I haven't been able to find pizza and calzone better than at Lucali, but, Razza is very deserving of its high praises. It was very good. The meatballs and the caviar and bread and butter service were also a nice touch, but for me I'd pass on it next time, and just stick to the pizza. read more
Finally made it to Razza after not being able to make it during the week of Valentine's Day due to a last minute cancellation on our part. Of course, the reservations are super tight, but we ended up getting the reservation on a weekday so we could ensure the dining room seating and dinner at a fairly reasonable hour. Ambiance is nice and cute for a date night. We kept the items simple between the both of us. We ordered the citrus salad (seasonal - not on the menu right now) to start. While I stuck with a beer, my girl ordered an Italian lemonade. The citrus salad was quite nice and fresh. For the pizza, we almost ordered the funghi, but went with the Di Natale to share between 2. It was the perfect size pie for 2. Great combination of toppings on the pizza. The nuts, raisins, and olives help complement the heat from the chili oil and garlic. The basil is always a nice touch. It was plenty, but not too many toppings to feel overbearing. To finish it off, we split a tiramisu between two. Great way to end a date night dinner. Will love to come back again. read more
Had an absolutely delicious dinner while catching up with a friend at Razza! Be sure to book ahead as we could only get a seat at the bar nearly a week in advance. Highly recommend dining family style to maximize options on this delicious menu! We shared the bread/butter flight, which comes with a substantial amount of bread, as well as the kale Caesar salad and burrata pizza. The salad was well dressed and topped with cheese but still light, and the pizza was a great mixture of crispy and doughy. I would have loved a little bit more cheese on the pizza. Also recommend wearing layers as the pizza oven and body heat can make the space quite warm. I absolutely recommend Razza! read more

Excellent pizza, but be prepared to wait for it lol it's nice inside and the employees are working hard. There is some seating outside where you can eat carry out if you don't want full service. read more
Heard that this is one of the places to go in Jersey City so had to try it out while in the area. We had a reservation on the weekend for right when they open for a late lunch. We were seated right away and found that the service was overall friendly. We ordered a pizza, salad, and meatballs for our meal followed by tiramisu and cake for dessert. Everything was solid and my favorite was the pizza and the meatballs which were both had good flavor. Cute spot all in all with good vibes - worth a shot if in the area. read more

This is one of the best pizza spots in New Jersey, so a reservation is required. If you want one during prime time weekend hours, consider making it a few weeks in advance. The ingredients of these pizzas are incredibly fresh, from the basil to the cheese. The service is great and, I wasn't expecting this, but the drinks were great too. Wish I remembered which one I ordered. The ambiance was calm, music was not loud and you could have a conversation. There was an area to pick up and take pizzas to go, so that's an option if you are unable to make a reservation. read more

This place definitely lives up to its hype! We finally got a reservation a few weeks in advance. They have a cozy waiting area with heaters along with coat racks near the door. When we arrived, they were setting up our table of 5 and we were seated about 15 minutes after our reservation time. Walk ins were only available at the bar. We saw SO many people getting take outs. Our personal favorites were the la rossa and di natale pizzas. I was very surprised how good the pizza was without cheese! Their kale caesar salad was also very good. Highly recommend Razza if you want to try one of the best pizzas in the country... Even better than New York pizza! read more
Soooo wanted to love it here, but the pizza was just very average for us. For over a decade I've been wanting to come to Razza, but I just never made the trip to Jersey City. From the glowing reviews, including 3 stars from the New York Times, to the many accolades, it always felt like it was going to be a special pilgrimage if I ever came ... and that day FINALLLLLY came after we made reservations for a recent Fall Saturday evening for our family of 4. We arrived right on time for our 6pm reservation and, as expected, the restaurant was already bustling. The oven was burning hot, the pizza was being whisked to tables and the drinks were flowing for some. Spacing was reasonable inside, although tables were literally right next to each other so you didn't have to even do much eavesdropping to hear hot topics from your neighbors. HOWEVER, there were 2 dining rooms to the place, which I didn't even realize until I visited the restroom. We were quickly seated after we arrived and, as always, we were WELL-PREPARED on what we were going to order on this special evening. First, we started with the Meatballs with Ricotta. There were 6 meatballs in total (I believe). Tangy, tasty, OK. Our daughter loved the meatballs, so definitely kid-approved, but adult? It was good, but not extraordinary by any means. Next, THE main event and what we came for. THE PIZZA. I had been waiting a decade for this. Yes, expectations were sky high and why shouldn't it be? All the reviews, accolades, difficulty making Saturday reservations. It all added up. We ordered 2 pies - the Corn Pie and Funghi. When both pies came out, they looked pretty good, but, unfortunately, both pies were just OK. Like not horrible, but not spectacular either. The Funghi was better because of the mushrooms, which added more flavor. After eating a slice of the Corn Pie, it just seemed a bit gimmicky in our minds and wasn't all that different than any other pizza. To be honest, there wasn't much flavor in either pie, especially the Corn Pie. Disappointed? Definitely. After a decade of waiting, this was one where the hype just outpaced reality. By no means was the pizza terrible, but, it was nowhere near our top 5 or 10 for that matter. Having been to some of the BEST of the BEST in the country - Roberta's, Di Fara and L&Bs in Brooklyn, Frank Pepe in New Haven, John's of Bleeker St. in NYC - unfortunately, Razza didn't come close to any of them. read more
Honestly, the pizza here is up to par with (maybe even better than) some of the famous pizza places in Brooklyn and Manhattan (l'industrie, rubirosa). We ordered the burrata pizza and the calabrese pizza. The dough was amazing-- super thin and crispy. The pizzas were also very flavorful in their own respective ways-- burrata was more fresh/tomato-based, and the calabrese was more cheesy and rich in flavor. Tiramisu was amazing. Meatballs were eh. read more

I'm certain there was much skepticism about the 2017 "New York Times" article that asked, "Is New York's Best Pizza in New Jersey?" One visit to Razza might just turn naysayers into believers; years after the article praised their pies, Razza still attracts a crowd. On Monday, we made a same-day Resy reservation for 9pm, the only available time slot. On a menu of 15-20 creative options, we seemed to have picked what were arguably two of the less elaborate pizzas. The prototype for what all Margherita pizzas should be resides at Razza. Theirs is $25 & has a drizzle of olive oil & sea salt to bring out the mild, melty mozzarella. Our second pick, the Tomato Pie ($23), showcased tangy & fresh red & yellow tomato sauces, & was topped with 24-month parm. Toppings didn't weigh down the pizza's nicely-chewy thin crust. The bookends to dinner, appetizers & dessert, were just as well made as the pizzas. I didn't try the Salumi Misti ($18) our table ordered, but I ate the lion's share of Ceci ($9) -- delicious chickpeas with olive oil & parm. Tiramisu ($14) was standard issue, however the Panna Cotta with salted caramel ($14) is what my dessert dreams are made of. Am not willing to share this next time. A warm, comfortable eatery, Razza danced their way into my top spot for pizza in & around Jersey City. I hope they liked me because they'll be seeing my face often. read more

Razza is a beautiful restaurant serving the best Pizza in New York, in New Jersey! Very modern looking and minimalistic interior, definitely feel a tinge of NOMA influence on that. Pizza is great, and I am all for brick oven, however ours tasted a bit too burnt for my liking. Cocktails were tasty, I would love to give it another go, but not running back anytime soon. read more
The hype is real here. I love pizza and trying all kinds I can tell you that this business does it right... like top notch level! The best I've ever had 100% The service is enjoyable and will accommodate your requests with no issues. Ambiance is nice and the dim lighting is just right, but the food... wow, just perfect! It's worth every bite. They even have a guy who inspects the pizzas before they get to your table. I like seeing that quality control in a restaurant, makes me feel like my money is well spent. FYI: Reservations can only be made on Resy, and it's best to reserve way in advance. I got extremely lucky making a reservation on the same day. read more
Wonderful gourmet pizza restaurant in downtown Jersey City. We had the Santo and Pepperoni pizzas. The onion on the Santo was more sliced than shaved, which gave it a really strong onion flavor. The pepperoni was really good and what most people would expect from a pepperoni pizza. Both pizzas had thin, firm and perfectly chewy crusts. Their pizzas are a little on the small side and a really hungry person could probably finish one themselves. Note that Friday nights are really busy. We couldn't get a reservation, so put our names down at the door and had to wait about 20-25 min. We were able to order drinks while we waited though. Could have been worse. Food came out fast and servers were friendly. read more
I've never had such a thin crusted pizza that was so delicate and light in its crispness but still has a bit of that New York slice springiness and could also support the hot tomato sauce and chunks of burrata. There were no soggy bottoms in this pie. It's like a magic trick that defies the laws of gravity. I recommend ordering kale caesar salad and meat balls as sides as they were both incredible. If I had to nitpick something, it would be that the outer crust is a larger percentage of the pizza than I would have liked bc I don't love crusts and their crust is a little too burnt for my taste (this is a "me preference" though bc I really don't enjoy anything burnt bc carcinogens). The taste of the tomato sauce is vibrant and bright. The service was also very good - I really loved our waitress, she was super genuine, friendly, and great at her job. Cocktail was pretty good but not very special bc it's not a mixology cocktail place so as expected. read more

Will I come from Queens to have this pizza again... Yess it was that good. Thinnest slice ive ever had that held its shape. We had the burrata pie which was excellent and the meatballs are a must. Can't wait to come back and try more. read more
4.5 / 5.0 - Razza has been named one of the best pizzerias in the US, so as a pizza-lover, I had to come across the river to try it. We've only ordered takeout, but the restaurant had a nice, cozy atmosphere and friendly staff, so I'd like to try dining in one day to eat pizza right out of the oven. So far, we've tried 3 pizzas and a salad. For our first pizza, we chose the Burrata ($26+), without garlic, which was delicious. The burrata was plentiful and so creamy. We were definitely hooked. Our second visit, we ordered the Margherita ($25+) and Funghi ($28+). I loved the Funghi, which is a delicious combination of fresh mozzarella, flavorful mushrooms, shaved onions, chives and parmigiano. Highly recommended! Last night, we ordered the Funghi again and the Green Salad ($18+). The salad was overpriced for the very little amount of greens you get. The pizza was delicious, though. Looking forward to trying more pizzas! read more

Ask the Community - Razza
Is it near the PATH train (coming from Manhattan)?
Yes. You get down at Grove St station and it's a 5 min walk from there.
It looks like they only sell 12-inch pies. Is that correct?
They only have one size available
Do you accept walk ins?
I believe they do but rarely do they have. Website says reservations are a must. Highly suggest you make a reservation on Resy.
Are there gluten free pizza options?
Curious about pepperoni pizza. Two months ago there was a supply issue, is that still going on?
Still no pepperoni on any pies as of last night! (8/3/22)
I see they've done outdoor seating in the past are they open during COVID?
Yes - you can order online there is a pick up window and huge outdoor dining space
What's the wait like on a Saturday?
~2.5 hours. Best to arrive at 4:30/45 to put your name in before they open at 5. They also don't…
What's the current seasonal pizza?
What day/time is best to go and have the least wait time?
As soon as they open, 5pm. You'll walk right in.
What types of beer do they have?
They have a few local beers on draft... definitely an IPA. They don't have bud light or whatever.
