Still wonderful pizza that's so crispy and delicious. Staff took care of us too during a family emergency. A great place to eat delicious tomato pies. read more

This was a modern-looking spot with loud music and a simple menu. The menu consisted of salads and pizzas along with a few desserts. The staff was friendly and the food came out very fast. The prices were reasonable too. The cold octopus salad ($13) and olive bowl ($6) were ordered for starters. The salad consisted of baby arugula, Calabrian chili peppers, and Gigante beans. I believe spring mix was used actually. Regardless, this was a well put together salad. There were plenty of pieces of octopus. They were a little inconsistent as some were tough, but they had the right amount of flavor. The beans were a pleasant surprise too. The olive mix had a good variety with plenty of them too. The large tomato pie ($19.25) was ordered. The crust was way thinner than I thought. It had good flavor, but was actually a little too crunchy, but nothing terrible where I would not order again. The tomato sauce was great, one of the better ones I had. It had a great balance with the tasty crust. Will I go back? Definitely. read more

THE GOOD ---------------- + Tomato Pie with Mushrooms and Sausage was fantassstic! ++++ Thin, crispy, super duper fresh, organized toppings (not just thrown around randomly) and very flavorful. ++++ Large pie was plenty enough for our family of 4 and is probably a few slices more than needed for 2 people. ++++ Pizza was cut St. Louis/tavern style, which was interesting considering this is a Trenton-style pie. + Cold Octopus Salad was delicious too. LOTS of fresh cold octopus in it on a bed of arugula and peppers. + Plenty of parking spots outside, BUT lot gets packed during prime dining times. + Lots of tables inside, but some are pretty close to each other. + Only waited about 5 minutes for a table for 4 when we arrived at 5:30 PM on a Friday evening. + Service and hospitality was top notch. ++++ Waiters were all friendly and cordial, despite it being extremely busy. No employee seemed flustered throughout. They seemed to thrive in the Friday rush. ++++ Food came out very quickly (and fresh at that!) THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Nada. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Restaurant was pacccccked on a freeezing winter Friday evening at 5:30 PM, but a relatively short wait of about only 5 minutes! There seemed to be a slightly longer wait for folks coming in later as a lot of people were in the tight waiting area for a while from 6-6:45PM. Everyone was quoted a 30 minute wait, including us, but, like I said, we were seated in 5 minutes. CONCLUSION -------------------- = The hype is absolutely well deserved. The pizza is that damn good. Was it the best pizza I've ever had? Not exactly, but having been to pizza establishments like DiFara's, Frank Pepe's, Lombardi's, Papa's Tomato Pies, Razza, it was ABSOLUTELY in the top 10 I've ever had. read more

- Extremely popular spot--by 5:30 pm on a Friday, both the parking lot and dining room were already packed; our wait was reasonable, but it quickly grew much longer as the evening went on; there is a nice nook area in the front for waiting, and a mounted self-service corkscrew/beer bottle opening station in the entryway--cups provided - Large dining room with plenty of tables and booths, though still not quite enough for the constant stream of diners; tables were spacious and nicely spaced so you don't feel cramped; warm, comfortable lighting throughout, but crowd noise does get fairly loud - Service was warm, friendly, and attentive; despite how busy it was, the waitstaff remained efficient and genuinely cordial - Food was fantastic: the large tomato pie with sweet sausage and mushrooms arrived piping hot and generously topped (though not perfectly evenly distributed)--great flavor and a very thin crust that stayed soft without falling apart--cut tavern-style; the cold octopus salad featured a generous portion of tender octopus with a pleasant bite over arugula, lightly dressed with EVOO--adding a squeeze of lemon gave it the perfect pop of brightness read more

When we tried this place a long time ago it was not good. The pizza was very flavorless with little to no flavor and overpriced. We ordered take out for it because the place was always too busy and crowded so we had no other option but to do take out in order to save time and try it out. But again, the lack of flavor of the pizza, along with the price of it made us wonder why this place is so popular? There are way better options out there for pizza than this place. This place didn't even taste like pizza as it tasted more like eating cardboard without cheese or flavor. I wouldn't even bother sending anyone to this place because it's overrated and not worth the time. read more

Went there on a high recommendation. It's just salads and thin crust pizza. I love thin crust, but this pizza was super thin to the point of tasting like cardboard toasted over a few times the pizza lacked flavor and the outer crust was actually burnt. Service was fair. No atmosphere. Not my fav read more

I thank Dave for having this pizza place so high on the list. I wasn't sure what to expect for a tomato pie, my aunt mentioned the lack of cheese on the pizza. But my gosh!! The tomato sauce was the best I've ever had!! I just kept grabbing bite after bite after bite! I practically inhaled the large by myself. The pizza is thin crust, so a normal sized man will need 1.5 pies. Or maybe just 1 large pie to himself. The pies are cut into rectangles. I couldn't get past how amazing the tomato sauce was.. I'm so glad I was able to find a good pizza joint before leaving this go back to Arizona, land of no good pizza! I will definitely be returning here. We arrived 30 mins after open and the wait was a little over an hour for a table. Around 6:30pm we noticed tables were being left vacant. So that's seems to be when the wait time is minimal. Well worth the wait though!! read more

TL; DR: Skip the cheese and get the white pie Very casual place that has a limited menu, so you know whatever you get will be delicious. The Arugula Salad was easy to share with 4 people and had lots of cheese on it. The cheese pizza was fine, but I'm a person who loves cheese and there wasn't enough for me. The sauce is more tomato forward and didn't have a lot of cheese coverage on the top, so you could see the red sauce more than your usual pizza. The white pie with mushrooms, spinach, and garlic was delicious (my favorite by far). Every pizza came out hot, steaming, and perfectly cooked. Can't wait to go back! read more

This spot was packed on a Saturday night and there was quite a waitlist. Part of our group went to put our name down on the waitlist in advance and then we hung out elsewhere until it was our turn. The pizza was delicious! They offer both small and large sizes and you can pick which toppings to add. The crust is thin and crunchy. They don't really do white pizzas. They have several salad options as well. The atmosphere is casual and lively. Service was fine overall - a little slow at times but decent considering how busy it was! read more

Two pies, two very different outcomes. One perfect and one burnt. Not enough to send it back but charred enough to leave that unmistakable charcoal firestarter taste in your mouth. Otherwise DeLorenzo's continues to offer stellar service amidst the overflowing crowds and an unbeatable pizza when not suffering second degree burns. Four optimistic stars but one deducted for their consistent, inconsistency. read more

Well, well, well.... If you know then you know. If you don't know then you better get over here quick! This unique style pizza flourishes down south jersey and this spot cooks it up to perfection.

Too bad I don't live in the area, otherwise I'll be here a lottttttttt more than my diet would allow me to. Simple menu, and they don't skimp out on the toppings. Make it your way and DO NOT share! FYI: Parking might be tough since this is in a shared lot with other businesses. read more

I can't believe this was my first visit as a New Jersey native. The pizza was delicious, with a thin crust and incredible sauce. I can see what the hype is about. The service was friendly, and the place was busy despite the weekday lunch hour but we didn't have to wait long for our table read more

Destination restaurant for pizza. Crunchy and delicious. If you live within an hour, make the trip and check it out.

First time here. This place is talked about throughout our company and when people come into town this is a go-to. Dave Portnoy rated this one of the highest ratings he has ever done and he isn't far off. The crust is unbelievable and the tomatoes just taste different here. I loved the pizza (one of five) where they put green peppers, sausage, onions and pepperoni...just amazing. The service was awesome and the ambiance is old school with a modern twist. Highly recommend this place and need to put this place on a "must go" every-time you are in town. Well done! read more

6/28/25 - No baseball this weekend as a lot of the places I wanted to hit had really poor weather forecasts. So we tried a New Jersey pizza institution in Robbinsville.... DeLorenzo's. And before you guys jump me--- yes I know it's called tomato pie and not pizza. For the folks that dont know: Pizza is dough, then sauce and then cheese. Tomato pie is dough, then cheese and then sauce. DeLorenzo's specializes in thin crust tomato pies. We stuck with plain and for the second pie we got pepperoni and basil. The crust has a nice char and is very flavorful and super crispy. Truth be told, some of the pies I saw coming out of the kitchen are works of art. And as they bring them out, you can see steam coming off of them throughout the restaurant. This is definitely a place to sit down and eat. Do take out another night. I had heard about long lines here but I didn't experience that. We walked in at 6pm on a Saturday night and were seated immediately. Although I preferred the New Haven pizza places more, this is a great place to get a great pie for New Jersey residents. The crust is great and the cheese is tasty but the sauce is the real star here.....bursting with flavor and in perfect proportion. Take your wife and kids.... you wont be disappointed.

I'm not usually a fan of pizza but I would absolutely go back to De Lorenzo's. The pie is very thin with crispy edges and the sauce is so incredibly fresh and authentic. We were a table of four and ordered the salad to share which was very refreshing. Then we ordered two large pies, one half eggplant and half meatball and the other half basil and half basil and onion. Everyone ate nearly half a pie but honestly we were so stuffed I don't think half a pie per person is necessary. The eggplant was not as good as the other toppings but everything was generally very tasty. We did order extra basil and they charged us for it but we didn't really receive extra basil. I am surprised that they only have the one cheese option and one sauce option. I get that they need to make the pies quickly but it would really expand the options to have a pesto or some ricotta or burrata. read more

Delicious pizza. After many years, I finally went here for the first time. They don't take reservations so going earlier is a must unless you want to wait outside. I arrived with a party of 7 around 5:30 and got our table, but by time we left around 7:30 it was packed. The temperature was ok, slightly cold, but not freezing so not too bad. Service was ok, though multiple times I had no water in my cup for over a half hour even after asking twice. I also waited far too long for the check. I asked for another pie to go and it was brought to the table so we had to wait for them to take it back to put in a box. Otherwise, the experience was a good one. The pizza was excellent. As per the menu states, if you don't like burnt crust pizza you must ask for it to be cooked lighter, which I did. It isn't "light" but more like regular crispy and just not burnt. It was super good. I'll be back just based off the pizza being so good. read more

I love pizza and am a strong advocate for Jersey-pizza (how the best pizza in the nation is found in New Jersey - naysayers could admonish me in the DMs if you'd like, thank you). Naturally, in my never-ending quest to enjoy good pizza in my home state, I landed myself at De Lorenzo's Tomato Pies in Robbinsville, New Jersey. With that being said, De Lorenzo's Tomato Pies is not the typical New Jersey pizza. De Lorenzo's dazzles and delights in their own very unique way. As mentioned by others, the crust stands out first as the diner attacks each slice. The outer edges of the pie sustain a degree of burned and charred character which give it a distinguishable crispy crunch. The burnt flavor is then immediately paired with a seemingly 50/50 tomato base and cheese topping the crust (I find that Jersey pizza generally maintains a 25/75 tomato base to cheese). Whilst different, it captures the essence of De Lorenzo's uniqueness and branding. The tomato base gives it a great vinegar and tangy flavor, while the cheese flavor is not extremely overbearing and showcases the quality of the dairy being applied. I was able to take down a small sized pie by myself (it was just the perfect amount). Glancing at the tables around me, it appeared that the salads looked spectacular and worthy of your taste buds. The staff were great and professional, and you could definitely see the American-Italian influences in the wear of the staff and the decor of the establishment which produces almost a Goodfellas -type of ambiance. Additionally, there is an extra flair with being able to see the open kitchen in the dining room, being able to watch the pizzas being prepared right before your salivating taste buds. De Lorenzo's is definitely worth the trip to take a stab of their highly rated pizza. read more

Came here for lunch on a weekday. There were a decent amount of people but it wasn't packed. We ordered a large tomato pie with sausage. The servers were attentive and the food came fast. I'm a big fan of the idea of tomato pie because I think the sauce often times can make or break the pizza (aside from the dough of course). The tomato pie was thin and had a cracker like crust which was slightly softer in the middle. The sauce was definitely the star of the show with the chunky tomatoes. The cheese was also really good quality and the sausage tasted fresh. Overall I enjoyed the pizza and I get the hype. I like the thin crust but personally I wish it had a little more chew to it, especially on the edges, but i can see people really liking this style crust. Toppings, cheese and sauce were great. read more

I went for an early lunch around 11:45AM on a Tuesday & it was a great time because it was not busy. Service was quick & efficient. Pizza was served right from the oven & very fresh. I wanted to try something other than the signature tomato pie so I went with the small MSG white pizza. It had mushrooms, sausage, garlic, & sprinkled with rosemary. Although I did enjoy I think I'll stick to the tomato pie. read more

We dined in at De Lorenzo's recently, and did not disappoint! Barstool sports One Bite rated 9.2, so it's been our radar for a while. We got a tomato pie with meatballs. Thin, firm crust and the freshest ingredients. The "tomato pie" style has a slight char on the crust, which we like. Separate servers for drinks and entrees make it very efficient to getting families in and out. read more

Best Pizza/Tomato Pie anywhere!!! This is authentic Trenton style. Sammy and his crew are awesome!!! It's a don't miss place!!

DeLo's has been a favorite of mine for quite some time. Unfortunately yesterday's visit really disappointed me. Let's break down the pros and cons... Pros- The server was pleasant and checked on us often. The seasonal salad with blood orange and fennel was delicious and when the pies arrived they were tasty but much was left to be desired. Cons- The server needed to be reminded TWICE to bring my soft drink and our two pies were delivered at the same time. We were a party of two and like most couples with manners we will not eat if our partners food is not available. This meant that the pie that was delivered sat and got cold for 10 minutes while we waited for the second pie. When I approached the counter staff to discuss this they provided the reason that they were busy from just opening. As a prior restaurant employee myself I find this reason inexcusable. Any good restaurant knows that you do not send out food for SOME of the party to eat...if everyone can't eat, you don't send the food. It's called timing. Also, when both pies were delivered they weren't prepared as they have been previously or as requested. The sausage pie barely had any cheese at all (not the norm) and the basil pie didn't have the basil chopped as requested. And lastly, the sausage pie was quite greasy (again, not the norm). Based on these issues I will unfortunately be giving my favorite tomato pie establishment a 6/10 for this visit. This was incredibly disappointing after waiting outside in the bitter cold for them to open for dinner. Come on DeLo's...you're better than this!! read more

Went here based on a stellar one bite review by Dave portnoy and was not particularly impressed by the pizza. It was good, don't get me wrong just not as good as I thought he claimed it was. Let me start by saying I'm not a fan of the really thin cracker crust if it is over cooked so that could be why I wasn't that impressed by it but it did have great flavor. Crust was super brittle and just way too thin for my liking, sauce and toppings had great flavors though. Another thing to note and also not really to my liking, it is only a sit down, order a whole pie type of place. By this I mean you can't just walk in and order a slice which sometimes I'm really in the mood to just order a slice or two and eat it quickly or on the go especially when I'm trying a new pizza place. Good service and place was super clean and modern just not really for me! read more

De Lorenzo's Tomato Pies has been on my radar for a while now (since viewing Dave Portnoy's review, to be honest). But I live in Connecticut, I was finally able to get there tonight with my wife & Mother In Law. Wow, we were blown away, this was some of the BEST pizza we have had anywhere. Crisp crust, no flop, great chew, and a perfect char (we asked for a "light char"). It all amounted to a very unique experience which was pizza perfection. Extremely tasty, those pies went down way too easy. Even my Mother In Law had a big appetite tonight, she consumed several slices, I've never seen her so ravenous. Hey, the music was cranked too loud, the A/C was also set way too high, and the service was sub par. Plus the seating was slightly cramped, the guy next to us almost sat on my Mother In Law as he was taking his seat. But all that still did not take away from how stellar that pizza was. De Lorenzo's makes Top Notch Tomato Pies, enuff said. read more
