DeLorenzo's Pizza

Enjoyable thin and crispy crust, tomato sauce has the most amazing flavor. We enjoyed it with sausage- also had great flavor. There is a large edge to the crust. Just wish the sauce and cheese went closer to the edge. But that’s our preference. Had terrific and efficient service from Ryan. FYI you can order it lite- so it is not as crispy or well, for more crispy and char. We didn’t make a request and it came out perfect. We ate in - booths are very comfortable and pizza always tastes better fresh out of the oven. Highly recommend.

DeLorenzo’s is nothing short of spectacular. There is pizza and then there is pizza. The food here is other worldly experience, also known as, a taste bud orgasm. I wish I knew their secret. Each pie is more delicious than the last. They use the finest ingredients and lovingly prepare what I believe is the best pizza to be had anywhere. And everyone who works here treats you like family and makes you feel special. I can’t wait to get back here. God Bless Blue & Gold! God Bless America! Remember Everyone Deployed Everyday!

Disappointed with DeLorenzo’s Pizza – A $22 Lesson Learned I recently visited DeLorenzo’s Pizza on Sloan Ave after a recommendation from a friend, but unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. After waiting 30 minutes for my order, I arrived home to find a completely burnt pizza that was not even cut properly. Despite giving it a chance, my family found the pizza nearly inedible due to the overwhelming burnt taste in every bite. In the end, we had no choice but to throw it away and cook something else instead. For $22, I expected much better quality, especially from an establishment with such a strong reputation. This experience has left me frustrated, and I will not be returning. A simple attention to detail—ensuring the pizza is properly cooked and cut—could have made all the difference. Unfortunately, DeLorenzo’s fell short, and I cannot recommend it based on this visit.

ya i don't understand the rave reviews, maybe they never had decent pizza? we ordered two pizzas for takeout our first (and last!) visit, burnt pizzas, lazy toppings with giant chunks of onions, very disappointing

I love everything about DeLorenzo's. Original old school pizzeria with soothing 50's music. The staff is seasoned and super efficient. The kitchen is too, they are masters of their craft! The pizza comes out, piping hot every time. Salads are fantastic too, and enough to split. The pizza is crisp and well arranged to ensure every slice gets goodness. Sunday and Monday they are closed.

Wow! The plain is all you need. This pizza is fantastic. I could have drank the sauce off the pie. The crust is unique. The service was great. The vibe is casual.

There is a rotten man who dishes out the delivery orders with an AWFUL attitude and demeanor regarding customer service. He made our experience beyond unpleasant when there was some confusion with our order, and made it entirely our fault, despite the order being due to the negligence and competence of the restaurant. The owner also came out and immediately sided with him. The food is mid. Like any mid pizza place. Honestly, somewhere like Dominos and Little Caesars are comparable. Not to mention they un-shamefully take the same name as the one in Robbinsville which is fantastic. I will never once even think of setting foot in this restaurant again or eat their delivery/pickup food and will stare it down with villainous looks any time I'm unfortunate enough to be within a few hundred feet of it. If anything, solely based on principal of who they're okay with hiring. Absolutely garbage place. I hope and pray you are closed down. Do. Not. Eat. Here.

There are two DeLorenzo’s restaurants in the Trenton, NJ area, owned and operated independently by cousins in the family of the same name. Both had their origins in cramped little places in downtown Trenton that served great pizza and are now in the Trenton suburbs serving the same great food in more user friendly surroundings. The other is on Route 33 in Robbinsville but we’ll save that for another day and focus here on Sloan Avenue. The easiest way to summarize things about the Sloan Avenue location is to say that nothing on the menu is less than excellent. The salads, especially the heirloom tomato version, are terrific for starters and the pizza with any toppings (I like plain sauce and cheese) is wonderful. And the prices of everything are very fair. You really can’t go wrong here!

A fine thin crust tomato pie with sausage and artichoke preceded by an ample antipasto and refreshing round of birch beers. There may be better pizza, especially if you're a Neapolitan or Sicilian enthusiast, but prepare to savor an excellent thin crust from a local legend. Five easy stars.

THIS PLACE IS NOT THE TOP RATED DE LORENZOS TOMATO PIZZA There is no tomato in the name. There are several reviews here mentioning best pizza/ famous for tomato pie/ even authentic de lorenzos boxes. This is not the place. I suspect some of the high stars here are from people who are thinking the proper place. We accidentally came here thinking we were going to the real de leronzos tomato (long story but headed to Unos, passed this place and thought it was the legit place so came here instead). Pizza is okay.... base was too hard. Toppings were fine. Its like a diner inside. I should have been more suspicious when I noticed its full of senior citizens.

Well, I will say I was expecting more of like a caprice, style salad, not chunks of tomato lol, the pizza here was fantastic. Then sliced, crispy, great sauce. Definitely come here to get a good pie.

Zero if I could. Took our grandson since they reopened. Worst pizza ever. Even the 10 year old thought so. Like eating a tasteless piece of cardboard. They know how to make a good pizza so why aren't you making it?

On a whim, we ordered out - got home about 10 minute later and pizza was cold, tasteless, with little cheese and sauce. I suppose that's what I get when adding 2 toppings (that were wonting as well) that soaked up the sauce? Salad was good, but for over $40 bucks? Meh. I'll go somewhere else.

I went to use the bathroom after I sat down, and the soap dispenser wasn't filled, so I asked one of the workers if they could refill it for me. They proceeded to get pissed off, and then asked another guy who just laughed at me. I decided that I wasn't going to pay for someone to treat me like that, so I told the server the situation, they apologized and I left. The worker that laughed came outside and proceeded to curse me out because he said (with expletives removed) "what do I look like the janitor" and stormed back inside

Best pizza in South Jersey and my favorite of all the Delorenzo's locations. Very distinctive sauce taste that I love and a great crisp. The perfect cheese to sauce ratio.

Big restaurant that offers a lot. They are famous for their "Tomato Pie". I expected something huge to rave about, but left scratching my head. Finding a solid pizza joint is something that lifts your spirits in several ways. This was an okay experience. Maybe if I got some toppings it would have been better. This pie had a tad bit sweeter sauce and thinner crust. The staff in the front was super helpful. She let me order a pie right before they were closing up at 2pm. Yes, they have a 2hr window where they shutdown. Not sure why, but that's what it is. Overall... It's not bad, but I expected more from a word of mouth recommendation.

I saw a rat in the dining room. The glasses were dirty too. I'm never coming back to this place.

I was with a friend near her place and she loves it here so I joined her before we headed out for the night. Looks like a family joint, pretty big dining room and open kitchen. The pies are made nice and fresh but we did get to a point looking around wondering if they actually put our order in. This pie wasn't on the menu any longer but my friend remembered it and it's a white pie, ricotta, spinach, broccoli, garlic. Needed a pinch more salt but it was absolutely amazing. I honestly haven't had a white pie in my life that I liked more than this. The bottom of the pie had a crunch, the crust slightly chewy and plenty of toppings. We got a large pie, and each had some to take home. Next morning, that slice was still so incredible. She mentioned on a weekend it can get crowded so be prepared for a slight wait. Pay up front at the cashier.

Without doubt this was the most overrated pizza in NJ; on my last two visits (years ago!) the pie was so soupy it should have been served with a spoon; while I knew to let it cool, the customer at the next table picked up a slice and ALL of the toppings immediately fell onto his plate. I dined at the original location on Hamilton Ave. dozens and dozens of times in the 60s and 70s; it never was a great pie, it was where you went when you were tired of DeLorenzo's on Hudson! Or if you wanted a cheesesteak (they stopped making them in the 70s). BTW they NEVER made Trenton "tomato pie," they always made a standard pizza. Once they moved to Sloan Ave. the owners became more arrogant; this is the only pizzeria in Trenton that ever took their phone off the hook on weekend nights when they were busy. Couldn't be bothered with your business. Then there's there their showy "support" for the Hamilton police combined with their advertising in the awful, racist, homophobic "Our Town" right wing propaganda rag masquerading as a penny-saver (and banned in several NJ towns, do an online search) but nothing too racist or homophobic for DeLorenzo's. GOOD RIDDANCE! Now where will all the old Hamilton racists go to eat?

Great customer service and fast and easy takeout. We ordered the tomato basil special and added hot cherry peppers. So tasty and the crust was perfectly crisp. The second pie was the MSG with no mushrooms. The ingredients are fresh and delicious. Definitely coming back again.

Was in the Princeton area with some fraternity brothers to pay respects to our friend and brother Brian who tragically and way too early passed away. We could think of no better tribute than to grab a tomato pie at Delorenzos. We headed over before the memorial and ordered pies and salad. Delorenzos is a cool little place with an old school vibe. The service was friendly and attentive, the tomato pie was out of this world and we left feeling a great connection to our old friend. Great place, highly recommend you get there if in the area. RIP brother Brian!

Very brief review. Simply the BEST pizza I have had ANYWHERE (and that's including Italy). That's it.......that's the review. Enjoy - you will not be disappointed.

I'm a born and bred nyc'er ... have been looking for an honest to goodness goto place for several years ... huzzah ... I found it ... Believe it when I tell you ... better than John's on Bleeker ever was ... and surprise ... Really Real Gelato ... Sooooo Goooood

My husband and I celebrated the 60th anniversary of our first date with family and friends at DeLorenzo's Pizza last night - because our first date was at DeLorenzo's when they were on Hamilton Avenue in Trenton. The wait staff was friendly, professional and attentive - thanks Zak! And all our guest said " wow, that was very good pizza". Thanks DeLo's for helping us celebrate in style!!!

Best pizza in New Jersey hands down. Service was efficient even though they were extremely busy. Quality of the pizza did not lose it's integrity.

My husband and I ventured here for Pizzadephia! We called ahead and placed our order. We were one of their first pizzadelphia orders so we got to be the guinea pigs :) The lady who took our order was friendly, answered all our questions, and even looped in the owner when she didn't know the answers. I loved that rather than just telling us something that wasn't true! When we arrived they had our ordered pie ready and even gave us a free pie! Everyone was so friendly and helpful...awesome service. The pizza was also very good! I loved the sauce. We are definitely looking forward to next year when we can go to the event in person again!

Pleasant staff. Thin crust pies. Great salad! Will likely be a new "go-to" place for us.

Will definitely NEVER be returning, we were brought a pizza withe extra tomato sauce despite the fact that we ordered a normal plain pizza. We told him that's not what we ordered and asked if he was sure that it was ours, again because that's not what we ordered. The man insisted that it was hours and even said this for table A6 and that's where you are sitting. He then left the pizza and walked away. Assuming that they just wrote or read our order wrong we ate the pizza. A short time later, a rude old man that we would later discover is the owner came over and gave us an attitude for eating someone else's pizza and that we should have said something! We explained that we did and even insisted that it wasn't ours. He continued you be rude and nasty even after we explained that we told the server that it wasn't ours. He maintained that it was our fault and chastised our group in front of other customers. The absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced, especially for a mistake that wasn't even our fault! Under no circumstances will I be returning to support that man.

Ate as a table of 8 around 4pm with no issues. Service was amazing and pizza was attractive. 10/10 will return

I make frequent visits to the DeLorenzo's tomato pies on Route 33 in Robbinsville. Since I was in the area, I decided to give this location a try because I had heard it was owned by a same family so I "thought" it would be the same pizza quality. Well I thought it WRONG. It was nothing like the original tomato pie. The pie base had way too much dough and the sauce had a no taste. We had added basil on our pie and surprisingly it came with "Dry Basil" on the pie instead of fresh basil. My problem was not only that but there was too much sauce and too much cheese. Also, you do not feel like you are in DeLorenzo's. Its an old Bob Evans or Applebee's, and thats exactly how it feels. The smell of pizza when you walk in the front door is not there, nor is the ambiance of the location.  At the end of your meal, you pay at the counter. Strangely, we had to stand at the counter in full view of many staff before someone notified the cashier that we were there to pay our bill. Needless to say, I didn't find much to like here and will not be returning to this place!!

Just updating my review. It's almost a year since my last review, and this restaurant is now our go-to for sit down pizza. The service is just as terrific as it was on our first visit. Our favorite pizza here is their signature white pie called the M.S.G. which has mushrooms, sausage, garlic and just the right amount of fresh rosemary. It is cooked to perfection every time, and it really is an elevation to the next level of pizza awesomeness. I failed to note in my last review that there is a Old York Cellars winery outpost in the lobby of the restaurant. There's no pressure to buy, but if you crave a little vino with your pizza, they have a variety of reds, whites, blushes in the standard 750 ml bottle as well as some in smaller bottles if you want just a glass or two.

Outstanding food and service. Best pizza in NJ............. Never lets you down. You must try.

Great pizza (aka pie) ... but also a wonderful/fun location to hold a wedding rehearsal reception !

I go here often for lunch with coworkers. The pizza is consistently good. The waiters are attentive and friendly. They are on top of refills. During the week it is not overly crowded so it is a good time to go. During the weekend this place gets VERY crowded so there is a significant wait especially if you come with a group. I tend to like crust. This pizza is more of a thin crust and sometimes it seems more on the overcooked side so I do not finish the crust. Nevertheless, the flavor of the pizza, especially the fresh basil, is very tasty! It is family friendly, date friendly, and casual place for good pizza. If you are in the area and craving pizza give this place a try.

How could this place with a reputation that precedes itself have such bad pizza though? Ordered a small pie with onion one day for lunch and it did not satisfy my craving in the least bit. How could you eat a whole pizza and still want pizza? Go to the one if Robbinsville and avoid this location.

Hands down the best pizza in NJ. Grew up eating here since their original location. The pizza is always delicious and their entire staff is the best. I constantly recommend trying delos. The pizza is usually always crispy (which makes it so good). This location is the best out of all of the locations.

I have long said that you can't find good pizza outside the New York area. I drew a circle from roughly New Haven, around to about Netcong, down toward Perth Amboy, and then down the Shore (because let's face it, the Shore is basically where NY goes in the summer). Well, my apologies, because I should have included Trenton in that circle. I finally had the original tomato pie, and let me tell you, nothing else comes close. Not Papa's, not anyone else. This is up with the best that NYC has to offer, even though it's decidedly different. Like Staten Island pies, this one's all about the sauce. The difference is, there's really not much cheese to speak of. Cheese is a garnish instead of a feature. But it totally works. Ambiance: Crowded. Avoid peak times like Friday at 7 PM. The parking lot fills quickly, the wait grows to 40 minutes - even for takeout. Which isn't terrible for a fine restaurant, but this is a pizzeria! That gives you an idea how good the pizza is. There is a nice but undersized waiting area, and then there is a nice but undersized dining area. If they wanted to grow to accommodate their peak crowds, they would have to build an addition and then add not just staff, but more ovens as well, because they had plenty of staff working nonstop. Sometimes, there's just too much demand. Service: Friendly. They're serving so many people that they can't get to you right away. The hostess will at least take your name - she was very friendly. Then I had to wait a couple of minutes at the counter, but even there, one woman reassured me I'd be served shortly. The order taker was brusque but happy to explain the process - if I wanted to leave during my wait, I had to "check in" when I returned. (I did this. Another couple of minutes wait and all was good.) Just don't order from here if you're in a hurry and it's a peak time. That said, still order from here. It's that good. Food: I had a sausage and mushroom pie. The order taker (waiter? I feel like I was the one waiting!) said it was a great choice. Thank you! After having it, I wholeheartedly agree. The pie was completely studded with sausage and mushrooms, no skimping on toppings but not overloaded either. The sausage was delicious, done in chunks instead of slices. After about 2 minutes of fanning the hot pie with an open lid, it was edible and the cheese had solidified into perfection. (That's a lot faster than most pies! I think less cheese helps!) I can't tell you how quickly and happily I devoured all 8 slices. The crust was thin and crispy, the sauce was very flavorful, and all of the ingredients balanced each other. In fact, the crust was crispy enough to hold up to the lack of cheese - all of the ingredients and sauce ran down into the fold of the slice, but nothing really dripped out. So, utter perfection. Yup, I've found my Trenton area pizzeria. I'm glad my friend moved here from South Brunswick. Middlesex County is a pizza desert. Trenton, or more precisely Hamilton, and most precisely DeLorenzo's, is a pizza oasis and a must-stop for aficionados.

Ordered online from the restaurant's website and when I arrived to pick it up Rick Jr was at the desk. He checked for my name and informed he had no order asked how I submitted I said online. He said I'd like to know how you did that we don't take online orders (see photos their website has 2 options for online orders!) he asked for my info then walked away came back and asked for my info again () when he found it he informed My order was never made and then insinuated it was my faulty for using the online service / his words "do you have our phone number you should have ordered old school we don't take online orders"! Said they need to make it-so I waited as they already had my money - while sitting and waiting I heard Jr speak rudely to his staff - use the F word numerous times - was rude to call in customers and slammed the phone down after every call (clearly irritated with the work) the big kicker was when a doordash (same service I used!) driver came in to pick up a customer order (after insulting the driver on the pronunciation of the customer name) that order called for and was ready - he noted ordered at 3:30 for 5pm pick up! Ahh so you do take online orders you just didn't check online for mine! What Rick Jr should have done is apologize to me for the error rather than blame and If you can't handle online orders take it off your website. This id 2021 people are working and doing business online keep up or get out of the online option. Respect you staff your lucky to have them and exercise patients with your customers we get it you all work hard but so do we and at the end of a work day no one wants to go to a restaurant and be mistreated by an owner. Hamilton has lots of options for tomato pie I chose yours I should have been treated better yesterday !

Crappie pizza. Like cardboard. People not nice. Doesn't compare to other Delorenzo's. Wouldn't recommend.

My go to place when I come back to New Jersey!. What's great about this place is that you can also order frozen pizzas to go, so you can bring them across the United States to your destination!

Can't say enough good things! Nice atmosphere without much of a wait on a Friday night, very friendly staff and AMAZING food!

With temps in the mid 90s and my 5 and 7 year old nephew and niece visiting, going to Delorenzo's for lunch was a good way to get everyone out of the house. After reading reviews, I knew to specify to go easy on the crust, so that it would not be burned. Try getting a 5 and 7 year old to eat burned crust. It's not going to happen. We ordered a small onion pizza and a large cheese pizza. It took about 10-15 minutes for the first pizza to come out. Delorenzo's style of pizza is very thin style crust; the thin crust was very crispy. The onion pizza came out first - much to the dismay of my niece and nephew, who anxiously were awaiting their cheese pizza. The cheese pie came out about 5 minutes later. And, with a burned crust - the opposite of what we asked for. The waiter offered to have a new pie made. Fortunately, one side of the pie was not burned and the kids were fine eating that, plus at this point they did not have the patience to wait for another pizza to be made. The sauce was good - not too tart and not too sweet. However, our plain cheese pizza tended to have only sauce and spotty cheese on some slices. The onion pizza had a better distribution of cheese and sauce. Overall, the pizza was good. I'm pretty impartial to New York style pizza with adequate distribution of cheese and sauce, so for me Delorenzo's was just ok. What did the 5 and 7 year olds have too say? "I didn't like it. It had too much sauce". From the mouths of babes! There's a reason they call it a "tomato pie".

Waited over a hour for a pizza and when I asked for the waiter to check he said it would be another 15 minutes. Watched others get served and when it came it was TERRIBLE. Under cooked however I couldn't fold it. Crust was like cardboard. Never again.

There's a rude old lady at the counter that likes to talk down to everyone. She either needs to learn how to talk to customers or be replaced by someone that has customer service experience. The restaurant needs to provide better estimates of when the food will be ready for pickup. The place is like a black hole because nothing is certain. Quality of the pizza has always been inconsistent. They won't even tell you an accurate pick up time. The pizza isn't worth waiting 90 minutes. DeLorenzo's is highly overrated with burnt/hard crust. Definitely not the best pizza in NJ.

The pizza was fantastic. We ordered a plain pie, pepperoni pie, and margarita pie. It was all amazing.

Ok, to be fair, this place had been hyped up. My friend raved about it, the sign in the window boasted about being one of the best local pizza spots. We ordered two pizzas: one with mushrooms, meatballs, and basil (although the basil was mysteriously missing), and one that was "the works" minus meat and plus a couple additional veggies and ricotta. I was definitely missing some of the sauce, and the flavors just didn't stand out. All I can say is that it wasn't memorable. I'm also surprised that there weren't more options for special pizzas (like a veggie option) considering the toppings were $1.50 each (really? For black olives?). The pistachio gelato on the other hand, was great! I'm sure my friends will continue going as it's their favorite spot, but I haven't been converted.

While the pizza was "OK" it used to be much better. Also, the menu prices don't correspond with what you are actually charged. My husband ordered a "Build your own Pizza." The menu said the pizza was $13.00 plus $1.50 per topping. He ordered 4 toppings. That should have been $19.00. When we got the bill, he was charged $21.00. The waiter brought him over to the manager who said, "the computer says it comes to $21.00. The menu is wrong and I can't change the price. I have to go by what the computer says!" It wasn't the $2.00 overcharge, it was the fact that they were handing out menu's that had incorrect pricing on them. All the customer can go by is the menu. She just get arguing that the computer is what she has to go by. I don't think we will be going back there!

I got a large "the works" pizza. when it came out it was burnt to a Crisp. The manager was my waiter and offered to make me another one but I didn't have time to wait for another large pizza to be made. when he saw that I was only eating from the top of the pizza because there was nothing wrong with the top, he told me he was going to give me a discount; he gave me a 20 percent discount. $4.80 off the price of a large burnt pizza. Since my waiter was the manager, I gave myself another 20 percent discount by not tipping. The place was full everybody else seemed happy; my pizza just came out burnt. I think 50% would have been more acceptable. I could have asked him to make another one for the $4.80 and then would've had to throw out a loaded pizza; that would've seemed wasteful. I will not be back.

The pizza wasn't bad. I had to give them another shot from an earlier visit years ago. Ok...these people are rude with a capital R! Not friendly at all. I don't understand how they've been open so long. It's obvious they don't like "certain" people to patronize their business. As I said, I wanted to give them another shot. I won't be going back. Rude and impatient. I think the lady's name up front is Karen. If it's not then it should be. DO BETTER. You get a D for DeLorenzo's.

Quite simply, DeLorenzo's makes the best tomato pie! It's a must stop. Period, the end!

First visit after hearing rave reviews. 45 minute wait on a Saturday night. Lots of regulars waiting around running into each other offering hugs. Definitely a regular place for many. The hostess was a meek girl whispering out names in sea of people. No one could hear her and she was easily distracted. I think a louder more customer focused person is needed with 20-30 people waiting to be seated. Our order was taken immediately. We ordered the fall pumpkin seed salad and a large pie. The Trenton tomato pie is definitely not the same as Consohocken tomato pie but is very good. Thin crust, heavy sauce and light cheese. We did not get the citrus dressing on our salad. Good call because the apples tasted like they had been soaked in it and they were bitter. The fresh mozzarella in the salad, so good! Melted in your mouth! I should have gotten that on my pizza! Service was quick. Drinks were refilled. Will definitely be returning customers.

I had a Groupon for $20. The man at the pizza pick up counter was incredibly rude to me. I asked for a soda, he said you don't have enough. i asked how much the pizza was. $17.30 . He said you can just leave the rest as a tip. I said, I'd like a fountain drink. He then went on to say the total was 23 and change. I said a fountain soda is $6? He yelled that's what the computer said and there is tax. So $5 for a fountain Soda? He then shouted, I'll give you a soda and you can leave! Incredibly rude and unprofessional. Our family will never be back.

This is what happens when a place with a legendary iconic name rests on its laurels. After living in the area for the past 15 years, my wife and I finally decided to try the iconic DeLorenzo's. We could never get into the one in Robbinsville since there's always a long line to wait. That one also has the most awkward and inconvenient business hours. They won't consider taking reservations. This location took the place of the famous original in Trenton. It looks more like an old fashioned soda parlor. When you first arrive, you see the dessert case and candies. Maybe more like a combination of a Jersey diner and ice cream shop. The initial wait for a table was a manageable 15 minutes. Then came the real wait. My wife and I ordered a half mushroom, half onion & basil tomato pie. Keep in mind you will still get charged the full $1.00 per extra whether it's on half or the whole pie. After 45 minutes, our pizza finally arrived. It was absolutely delicious. Perfectly crisp crust. Great taste--- not too saucy or spicy. I'll try the one in Robbinsville next, but would only recommend this location for take out. Even though they exhibit their ServSafe certificates, they also leave their cleaners and rags on the front counter to be seen by everyone. I'm not sure when they actually clean since our table was pretty sticky and stained.

Save yourself some money - there must be 15 pizzerias within a mile of this location, all of which will sell you a comparable or better pizza without charging you for their historic legend. I called and ordered a large pizza (oops, SO sorry, Gods of Italian Cuisine, "tomato pie") with pepperoni, showed up at precisely the prescribed time, waited 5 minutes at the counter, and was handed a room-temperature pie for which I was charged $20. To be fair, it tasted very good, but there's nothing special here to make it worth the price. Going to Jo-Jo's next time (where, if I have to wait, I can buy a draft with the money I save on the pizza.)

Pizza is good but not all that it's cracked up to be. The sauce is the star of Trenton Tomato Pie but theirs is nothing special. Salads were good and topping choices were plentiful. Ambiance is like your eating at grandma's house. Mostly teenage servers who don't say much. Expensive for pizza but a satisfying meal was had by all.

My husband and I came here last night for the first time after reading many reviews about this place. We got there at about 5:30 and we're seated at 6:00 or so. We ordered their special salad with beets and their tomato and mozzarella salad to start. Both salads were very good but they were overpowered with dressing. Especially the salad with the beets. We also ordered one of their gourmet pies - the eggplant and ricotta one. We must've waited AT LEAST 45 mins for one stinkin pie! I really wish our waiter had told us that it was such a long wait because I doubt we would've stayed. All the tables around us seemed like they were waiting long too. Finally the pizza came out and it was good but not worth the long wait. The waiter made excuses that they were just super busy and it was lent. Whatever. I will not come back here on a Friday night again. If I do it'll be before 5:00 or after 8:00.

I was visiting my friend in Princeton, and she is of the incorrect opinion that the best part of a pizza is the sauce. I picked her up and she decided we'd be having dinner here at Delorenzo's Pizza. She told me that they served tomato pies, and I was reminded of a Serious Eats article I had read on Trenton Tomato Pies. http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2011/08/discovering-tomato-pies-at-de-lorenzos-pizza-in-trenton-nj.html A Trenton tomato pie is pretty backwards. The cheese goes on the crust first, and then they pour tomato sauce in splashes all over the pizza. This leads to a pretty saucy pizza. But the sauce is sweet and tart, very good overall. Fresh out of the oven, the sauce makes it very hard to eat with your hands (I went for a fork an knife, blasphemous i know.) But once it cools down, you can eat it like a normal NYC style slice. The crust is thin and crunchy, I can easily see myself eating an entire pie on my own if I were particularly hungry
