BREAD & BUTTER TASTING
Nicole F.

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. :)

MEATBALLS WITH RICOTTA
Kristy T.

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.

Yellow margarita pizza

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.

Butter tasting
Della S.

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

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.

Meg S.

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

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!

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!

Yuelin L.

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.

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.

Great little pizza shop off grove. Good option for sit down or takeaway. Loved the Di natale pizza. I have had the meatballs when i sat down, i highly recommend. Takeaway pickup is smooth and efficient. Great staff!
