STAY AWAY AND SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED CASH!!! Wanted to see what all the hype was about and ordered 3 pies which came out to $70. Definitely overpriced especially for personal pies; and not the best in NJ. Pizza is tailored towards hipsters and those unable to taste any type of flavor! Pizza also doesn't travel well and was bland at best...Will not be back!!!

Though we had to eat outside and feels like we didn't get the true Razza experience, the pizza was fantastic. It was gone in a heartbeat. Probably could have eaten another pie or two between the 3 of us no problem. Very light and super fresh. Can't wait to go back and try some different pies! Pizza Adventures: Destination #143

Razza is the #1 pizzeria in the #1 city in the #1 state for pizza. Their pizza is truly delicious. Their pies have burnt crusts with soft middles and the perfect cheese to sauce ratio. The Jersey Margherita is a classic. Their Asparagus Pie is unique, delicious, and it does not have an overpowering vegetable taste at all. The salads are the perfect side for all the pies you order. My favorite was the Kale Salad. =] Certainly a spot to visit more than just once!

Very good pizza. Well worth the trip, 2 minute walk from the path. Right when it comes out of the oven, while it is still steaming, you can find yourself in pizza heaven. The fungi had deliciously warm cheese. The jersey margarita had a lemony taste that went so well with the doughy surface and hard crust. The pizza was thin and delightful. It's not the best pizza ever made in the world.

I waited an hour and 20 minutes to be seated, but it was so worth it for the wait, the margarita pizza was super delicious. Everything about the pizza was just right especially the sauce was really good and I had to order more of it because I couldn't get enough of how tasty and delicious and full of flavor it had. All the employees there is so friendly and nice. Especially Kai w made my night he was super fun and kind and he had great customer service. The vibe is beautiful you forget you're in Jersey City you feel like you're in New York. If you're in Jersey City you have to stop by this great place and check it out. 😌🤌🏼❤️🍕

Such a good experience every time I go. There’s outdoor seating during the warmer months. Best to make a reservation ahead of going because it’s always pretty busy. The pizza is incredible. It’s unexpected but the bread and butter is also delicious. They do a butter tasting that lets you try out different types of butter made in house. One of them tastes like actual blue cheese; it’s crazy.

Razza never disappoints. This place survived the pandemic!! They recently opened up indoor seating area with a bar . The tables are well spaced. Getting a reservation is very difficult though. I have tried every pizza on the menu. They all do justice. Our server was helpful In pairing a good wine with the pizza. He even offered us to taste it before we select a bottle. The service was quick. Tables were small for our gigantic order. Dessert was equally good and delicious. Kitchen shuts at 9 pm hence time your meal early. Would love to give it 10 stars if I could !!

Razza had some amazing food. Meatballs were delicious. The pizza is fantastic. Most importantly the SERVICE was AMAZING. Their waitstaff was incredible, they were always there at the right times without interrupting. I don't think I pour or asked for water a single time. It was just their. 5/5 easy worth waiting an hour for a seat.

Awesome 👍 pizza 🍕. It is some true saying "the best pizza in the New York is the Tazza Pizza in the Jersey City". The best ever in my book. Excellent choices of food, in addition to the best pizza. Excellent service, great people, wonderful attitude. You just can't go wrong by selecting this place no matter what's your occasion is.

This is a must visit and now one of my favorite places in the world for pizza! The pizzas are so well balanced, the toppings are not overpowering nor is the sauce or the bread. We loved both the pies, Calabrese and Di Natalie. I was honestly sad that the pizzas were over and that I had no space in my tummy to order another one 😅. The house ice tea was refreshing and the tiramisu was moist and just right!

Razza always delivers! We decided to go there for my birthday celebration date, and let me tell you, it's one of the best pizza places in the Jersey City area. What I really love about this place is that they have a great selection of vegetarian options and their cocktails are absolutely incredible. I mean, seriously, their two cocktails completely blew me away, and I like to think I can handle my alcohol pretty well. The server was super friendly and gave us the best recommendations, basically suggesting everything on the menu. This place is usually bustling with activity, so getting a reservation can be a bit tricky. But trust me, it's totally worth it. The prices are reasonable and the food is simply amazing. Believe me, you won't be disappointed if you come here for some delicious food. It's a definite must-try!

We get takeout from here all the time but dining in is a whole other experience. The pizza fresh from the oven is otherworldly. I keep coming back to the di natale which has olives and golden raisins for a lovely balance of sweet and savory. I will never understand how they make chickpeas taste so good.

I’ve never been a 🍕 lover …but this place turned me into one. Their pizzas are always the same consistency and the dough is insane! Highly recommend their ricotta with meatballs sub 😍

First experience here after we’ve heard all the hype and it did not disappoint. The food was amazing and fresh. If this was my last meal I had to have I wouldn’t be upset about that. We sat right by the oven and prep station as the first picture indicates and to see how well oiled a machine this place is is amazing. The only thing better than the food was the service. Chase was our server and he made us feel right at home. Definitely great at conversation and timing to check in how everything was going, seemingly was always around and never did we feel like any of the staff was hovering over us to get us out. Truly a professional staff. Worth the drive and worth the wait.

Today I had the absolute best pizza that I’ve ever had in my life!! The corn pie and the summer margarita pizza (not pictured) we’re the two pies we ordered. The corn was by far my favorite. Who would’ve thought corn on pizza would be so delicious. We had Kai and Adrian take care of us at the bar! We drove my Maryland to visit Razza and it was completely worth the drive. Can’t wait to come back again and try other pies. The corn pie is seasonal so get it before summer ends!!!

The food was excellent, the standout for us being the butter sampler. The idea Chef Dan had to take butter and turn it into something special was very unique in my opinion and the idea alone for me showed me his skill and passion for his food. The butter itself was good, as was the funghi pizza. I personally did not like the burrata as much but it was well balanced. I found overall, I didn’t like my pizzas so burnt, but I get it, its a wood fired oven and so it has a special texture and flavor. I would rate the pizzas as very good, but for me it was the butter experience that blew me away. We had the fruit punch and pom pop. Fruit punch was ok, but pom pop was really wonderful, nicely fizzy, appropriately sweet and refreshing! Service was decent, but we had to ask several times for extra napkins and the bill even though the dining room was not full. Servers also displayed a fervor in clearing any empty plate they saw immediately, almost as if they wanted us to leave quickly. The food and atmosphere was really high end, and worth it.

Razza has been on my pizza bucket list for awhile and it did not disappoint. Went with friends and we tried the funghi, potato pie, and the jersey margherita. All had their own flavorful sauce, with a well cooked, charred crust that stayed together nicely. Fresh ingredients that lead to top-notch taste. Friendly wait staff as well. A must stop for any pizza lover.

My friend hyped this place up so I had great expectations... Kale Ceasar salad and meatballs were great. The lemon vodka cocktail was well balanced and not overlysweet! But pizza...uh I'm sorry I would not be back for the pizza. We got margarita and the mushroom one and both were mediocre at best. Great customer service by the bartender though.

When I crave really GOOD, real Italian pizza, I head to Razza. My friend took me to Razza when it just opened in place of a dimly-lit neighborhood bar called Majestic, about 10 years ago, and I've been going to Razza ever since. In addition to seriously AWESOME pizza, Razza offers a decent variety of antipasti. Housemade pomegranate lemonade and hibiscus teas are great if you bring your kids or are skipping booze. Thumbs up!

If you love Neapolitan style pizza, you will love this place. The dough makes this pizza stand out. If Neapolitan isn’t you’re style, you will still enjoy it, but probably not be too blown away. The Bread & Butter is an essential appetizer. Kale Caesar was incredible as well.

Pretty amazing experience. The pizzas were amazing and light. We didn't feel overstuffed from eating them. The bar drinks were nice and seasonal. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable in offering the new pizza flavors and their taste. Pretty good place and can't wait to come back!

If you're on a quest for the perfect pizza, look no further than Razza in JC. The best part is that their pizzas are light and airy, you won't feel guilty after having a pie. Toppings are fresh, the balance of flavors is impeccable. Razza is a haven for pizza enthusiasts and a must visit. The place is usually fully reserved but you can always order a take out. There's a seating area outside their joint where you can enjoy your take away pizza.

I gave this pizza restaurant a 4/5 star rating based on my take-out experience. The only downside was that my pizza had cooled down by the time I got to eat it, but even then, it was still quite enjoyable. I believe it would have been even better if I had it right there at the restaurant. What sets this place apart is its unique pizza offerings. I tried the corn pie, the tomato pie, and the Santo pie, and I can confidently say that you can't go wrong with any of them. Each pizza had its own distinct flavors and qualities that made them all worth trying. If you have the opportunity to dine in and enjoy them fresh, I'm sure it would be an even better experience.

Undoubtedly the best meatballs I’ve ever had and the pizza is exceptional too. In fact, it’s so good that we made reservations to go back tomorrow. Service was excellent. And parking on the street wasn’t hard to find within 2 blocks.

Loved Razza! Is it the best pizza in NYC when it's across the river in a different state (NJ)? I'll just say it's fantastic, including the bread and butter. It's located across the Hudson river on the gritty streets of Jersey City, just beyond the glow of the big apple. Razza stands there, in its understated grace. A single establishment, surrounded by the clamor of a city that is so frequently overshadowed by its colossal neighbor. Razza, this little pizza joint in Jersey City isn't what you'd expect. On any given night, its patrons will proclaim it - with fiery, unwavering conviction - the best pizza in New York City. That's quite a title for a place not even located in New York. But then again, I've long believed that the best stories, the most authentic flavors, aren’t always found in the expected places. The ambience here is rustic and warm, with a palpable sense of passion flowing through the air - from the open kitchen, where hands skillfully craft each pie, to the tables of patrons who savor every bite. But, let's get to the heart of it, shall we? The pizza. Taking a bite of their signature pie is like tasting the history of pizza. The crust - light, airy, and a little tangy - is the bedrock of this experience. It’s an homage to the age-old traditions of bread-making. Then there’s the sauce, so vividly red and bursting with a freshness that can only come from tomatoes treated with reverence. And the cheese, oh, the cheese. It’s a dance of dairy on your tongue, with just the right pull and melt. It's about more than just ingredients at Razza; it's about a philosophy. Respect for the craft. Respect for the ingredient. Respect for the journey from field to plate. It's not about being flashy or over the top; it's about being genuine. As I finish my slice and take a sip of my drink, I'm left contemplating. While the fierce debates over the "best" will never end, Razza doesn't concern itself with these superficial titles. They're just here, on this side of the river, doing what they love. And doing it damn well. So is Razza the best pizza in New York City? Perhaps that's not the right question. Maybe it's about understanding that sometimes, the best things aren't where we always look. They're just across the river, waiting to be discovered. So yes, it's worth taking the PATH or an Uber to eat at one of the best pizza joints in America.

After seeing various publications and TV shows mentioning Razza and the craft of Dan Richer, I decided to make the haul to New Jersey to give this place a try. I now fully understand the reviews, and every five start review is the utmost truth. This pizza is the real deal. Being born and raised in CT, it’s quite hard to convince me of better pizza outside of New Haven. Even in NY, I struggle finding that perfect spot. Razza is that spot. The flavors and the texture of these pizzas are out of this world. It only makes sense that you need a reservation. I ordered three pies - two pepperoni and a guancia. The pepperoni is by far my favorite and I will be returning for more. Not only does this restaurant serve excellent food, the staff is top notch and needs to be recognized. You can clearly see the success and pride of this restaurant flowing directly through the whole staff. I can’t wait to return!

My wife and I had the kale Caesar, cured meats and shared a santo Pizza. You could probably do a pizza each. Great overall experience would come back to try other pizzas and the atmosphere in the evening. It does feel like two separate restaurants, you enter into an urban warehouse vibe which is really cool but we ate in a what looked like a new part. Still really cool!

We made reservations in advance and were really excited to try this place. Service was great from the hostess, to the bartender to the waitress everyone was super friendly. We ordered the chickpeas and meatballs for apps. The meatballs were great- a must try! We then order two pizzas; the buratta and calabresse both were so good! I liked the calabresse a bit more. The crust was perfectly cooked, perfect cheese to sauce ratio!! We lived in Jersey City for 3 years and constantly overlooked this place, now we can't wait to try another pizza from them. They take walk-ins and do take-out but if you'd like to dine in I'd recommend making reservations.

We were a table of five each ordered our own pizzas. All had incredible flavor Argo the best pizza dough I’ve ever had. I must say my wife’s pizza came out coke like it was in the fridge and we felt rushed to leave. They were coming taking our plates and silverware so quickly. I want to say again my pizza was truly amazing top three I’ve ever had. Also $12 for half a glass of Prosecco coke give a little more.

This had been on my list for a while but getting a table here can be difficult, at least on weekends. I suggest making a reservation. We tried the apple salad, bread and butter, Di Natale pizza, and tiramisu, and everything was lovely. Especially the salad which looked beautiful and tasted amazing too. Service is also really good!

Delicious food, great ambiance and impeccable service. We went in for dinner, ordered: Bread with homemade butter and caviar - the bread and butter were delicious 🍞 Meatballs- very tasty, good for sharing 🧆 Beet salad-fresh and light,the pistachios and goat cheese are perfect pairing with the beets🥗 Pizza - don't remember the name,it was a very interesting pairing of raisins,basil oil and olives.Crispy ,thin crust and surprisingly delicious 🍕 And of course paired it all with some wine and cocktails 🍷🍸🍹 For desert we got the Panna cotta and the Apple olive oil pie. Both deserts were heavenly , not too sweet and perfect consistency 🥧

Very overprice place with super limited menu of pizzas and beers. Overcrowded, even when we made a reservation. Anyway, they try their best to accommodate us. But, sincerely, do not understand why so many high reviews. For me, even when the food was good, it was not a "WOW" that was spected.Just an ordinary overall diner experience.

Definitely the best pizza I’ve had in NYC / JC! I would highly recommend making a reservation and dining in - ordering this to go or getting this delivered home will not do it justice. The pizzas were absolutely delicious! We ordered the Tomato Pie, Zucchini Pie, Calabrese, and Funghi - all four were spectacular! My favorite was the Calabrese - a bit spicy, a bit tangy, and completely mouth watering! The pizzas take a little bit of time to come out so be a bit patient - it’ll be worth it. The staff was super friendly as well. Please do pay this spot a visit - you won’t be disappointed!

Friendly and helpful employees. Place was busy here for dinner service. Ordered a margherita pie and meatballs which took about 30 minutes. There are chairs and tables for takeout for those interested. Perhaps this is an isolated case, but my pie was bland and tasteless. It reminded me of my college cafeteria $2 pizza slices. The crust was thin and soft but neither the cheese or the tomato sauce had much flavor. For the price paid, that is just sad. The meatballs were freshly made and tasted like meatloaf. Not a bad thing unless you don't like meatloaf. The pizza was a letdown considering the hype for this place. Ordered a Fruit Punch beverage which was a bland, no sugar having, flavored water concoction. For $7 I could have gotten Gatorade fruit punch instead. This was my first and last time coming here.

I'm glad I finally got to try Razza after hearing great things about it for so long. I went in with high expectations and was absolutely blown away by the pizza here! The white Calabrese pie was AMAZING. The dough was light and chewy, with a subtle smokiness from the wood oven and the toppings (mozzarella, ricotta, onion, and fermented chili paste) complemented each other really well. I've had a lot of pizza in NYC and Razza would easily be on my top 3 list. I can't wait to come back and try some of their other pies!

Pizza was top notch! Service was friendly and attentive and they spaced out the timing of our meal perfectly. We had two salads to start, kale Caesar (reminder that kale is exhausting to chew) and a raddiccio apple salad that was very creative and delicious. We also had meatballs which were melt in your mouth good. For pizzas: jersey margarita, sausage, and a mushroom (no sauce). We all had a different favorite. On the scale of the best pizza I've ever eaten it was near the top, but my personal preference is slightly crispier bottom. Definitely a must try and next time I'll order extra crispy!!! Great job!!!!

One of the best pizza I’ve had! First thing first, pre-order about 1.5h to 2h! It’s very popular and wait time is long. I like the thin and crispy texture, and the cheese is so creamy and juicy! Strongly recommend the mushroom one!

Long time fan, just took me a few years to remember to leave a review. There's no debate on this place. Don't wonder or question, just make a reservation, bring your friends that love food as much as you do or the ones who think they know things about Jersey pizza. Watch them experience it. I promise it's the most delicious experience and the loveliest service.

This pizza bangs. I’m not talking about hair. We got the summer margheritta and it hit the spot for sure. Threw in a little kale Caesar salad action on the side and it was the perfect combo. We were a little hungry so it was the perfect amount of food. If you are super hungry get a pizza per person. The service is really good. Especially for a pizza spot. 5 stars all around.

This can be the best pizza I’ve tried in the US. Perfect think crust that doesn’t get soft while you work on it. Burrata is delicious, tasty oil. It’s just perfect!

You need to wait 30-35 minutes for pizza 🍕pizza is above average

Beautiful thin pizza hand made from high quality ingredients... absolutely delicious, consistent and highly recommended. Some of the best you'll have outside of Italy.

One of the best pizza places in the NJ/NY metro area. While still not my number one which remains Lucali in Brooklyn, NY, This place is fantastic. It starts with the bread and dough. I would eat this dough plain with no toppings. The only other place I would say that is Bread and Salt in the Jersey Heights section of Jersey City. Care is taken to the amount of toppings on each pizza never to overpower the scrumptious pizza dough. Razza is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. I tried Razza both dining in (before pandemic) and take out. The Razza experience is best dining in. The bread appetizer is a must. Although everyone talks about the meatballs I though they were good but paled against that bread… that bread is still in my memories. I barely remember the meatballs. The pizzas are neopolitan style with areas of char and a good crunch when just out of the oven. For pizza, its one of the top places in Nj and NYC.
