"Dan Richer founded Razza Pizza Artiginale right on Grove Street in 2012. It was destined to become one of the most respected pizzerias on the Eastern seaboard early on: The pies come out of the wood oven round and puffy, charred here and there, and delectably good in a sourdough-y way. Topping ingredients run from the straightforward — fresh mozzarella and canned tomatoes — to the more unusual, like orange winter squash, fingerling potatoes, raclette, and hazelnuts. This place is also big on bread and butter, as well as short dishes in a modern Italian vein. — RS" - Robert Sietsema, Melissa McCart
"Razza, another Jersey City favorite, is also accepting pick-up orders. They’re serving a limited menu that includes about seven of their usual pies. You can place your order here, and then head to their restaurant to pick it up. Make sure to check their Instagram account for more announcements about their opening hours." - hannah albertine
"What It Is: A wood-fired pizza spot in Jersey City Perfect For: Big Groups, Vegetarians We recently took the Path train two stops to Jersey City to check out Razza, which focuses on using local ingredients to make some really excellent pizza. This place isn’t very big and doesn’t take reservations, so we ended up waiting for about an hour (there are a bunch of bars within a block or two). But the wait was worth it for the wood-fired pizzas with fluffy crusts, crisp bases, and relatively light toppings - you can put away a whole pizza yourself without feeling nearly as full as you would after a pie at Emmy Squared or Paulie Gee’s. And you will. Our favorite was that night’s special pie - the funghi with four types of mushrooms. If you’re someone whose blood pressure rises when people start debating the best pizza in the city, go to Razza, because this place belongs in that conversation. The Verdict: This pizza is more than worth the short trip to Jersey City." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren
"JERSEY CITY Razza is to Jersey City what The Eiffel Tower is to Paris or Britney Spears is to Kentwood, Louisiana. They’re iconic, and for good reason. The puffy, blistered crust is light enough that one person can easily finish a whole pie, and it’s salty and sweet enough that you’ll order another long after you’re full. And then there are the toppings, like mozzarella made from Jersey water buffaloes, specially-bred hazelnuts, and produce that proves “The Garden State” slogan isn’t sarcasm." - team infatuation
"This phenomenal pizza spot in Jersey City is offering about six of their pies for pickup from 3-9pm every day except Monday." - team infatuation
