"The pizza scene in New York City is very competitive, like youth soccer in the United States or professional soccer anywhere else. So when we tell you that Bread And Salt is the year’s best newcomer, you should know they serve pizza that’s worth seeking out. What makes the slices at this counter-service spot in Jersey City so special is their crust, which has a slightly charred base under sweet, airy dough that’s like the inside of a croissant. When you also factor in the phenomenal toppings - like mozzarella pulled in-house or pesto made by hand behind the register - and comfortable BYOB space, you realize Bread And Salt is much more of a destination restaurant than a typical slice shop." - team infatuation
