    I think the outdoor seating is great vibes in the summertime, but we thought the pizza was just meh. Like really nothing special about it. If you've had Lindustrie or Bleeker street pizza, those are still my top picks - for char, crisp, and doughiness.

    Absolutely amazing! I absolutely loved the pizza here. The servers were some of the nicest I've had the experience of having. I don't live in NJ anymore and the pizza is exactly the way I remember it. We ordered three pies, and each one was as good as the last. Can't wait to come back next time I'm back in NJ.

    MEATBALLS WITH RICOTTA
    Richard S.

    Delicious pizza, attentive service and well organized restaurant. Razza has serving pizza down to a science and their expanded interior really allows for a more enjoyable experience that doesn't feel as tight and cramped as other pizza spots in NYC. We went with all-classics for our trip here including the Kale Salad, Meatballs (with Ricotta) and a FUNGHI + SANTO pizza. To me, the meatballs were the star of the show. Rich, flavorful and a generous portion of ricotta surrounding a handful of delicious balls of meat. It felt perfectly seasoned and flavorful without being overly heavy or meaty. Our server recommended keeping the sauce in case we wanted to dunk any of our pizza crusts. That was a great idea, though his suggestion for a FUNGHI pizza fell a bit short. I've heard great things about it online so was a bit disappointed that it felt a bit bland and the lack of proper red sauce made it less attractive compared to the meat-forward Santo. Still, based on the number of reviews raving about the FUNGHI maybe it's just me and I think if you have enough people to split a few pies it's worth trying and seeing for yourself. Finally, I also liked how there were separate entrances and exits for pick-up / delivery orders that was separate from the main dining area so the space didn't feel crowded by Uber Eats and people waiting for pick-up. All in all, I found NYC pizza, especially from Massara (the sister restaurant of Rezdora) to be better. But still, no knock to Razza here and worth a visit if you live in NJ!

    My friend mentioned I should try Razza out since I love pizza. I had this place bookmarked for some time and finally was able to stop by. Made reservations via Resy. There are two entrances, facing the building, the door on the left is the entrance to restaurant and the right is entrance for pickup (I went to the door on the right.. that's how I know). Place is dim but not too dark. Ate at the bar and it was nice. Ended up getting the Pepperoni ($28) and Burrata ($26) pizza. The pizza is Neapolitan-style. Both pies were solid especially the burrata, it was really interesting bc it didn't have a cheese pull but it was burrata cheesy. The dough was good and chewy. I obviously had a Coca Cola ($3) to wash down the pizza. Overall had a good experience and will try to get a table the next time I come back. * Highly recommend making reservations * Good service

    BREAD & BUTTER TASTING
    Riddhi S.

    I've been here 4-5 times already, and the experience has been consistently excellent every single time. We always start with the bread & butter tasting, which comes with three different flavored butters. The bread is served fresh and warm, and it's such a simple yet perfect way to begin the meal. Coming to the pizza -- absolutely amazing. We've tried the Margherita and Funghi, and both are outstanding. The pizzas are thin, light, and full of flavor, with a crust that's just perfect. It truly feels like authentic Italian-style pizza, and it's easy to see why this place is often called one of the best pizza spots around. I hype this place up all the time in front of my family and friends because it genuinely lives up to it. One thing to note: last-minute reservations can be difficult, so planning ahead is definitely recommended. Consistently great food, great quality, cozy vibes and a place I'll keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

    Got the Calabrese, burrata, di Natalie They were all pretty good, I'd give it somewhere between 3.8-4, I think the crust could've had some more flavor overall but the toppings Made it good

    Yuelin L.

    Honestly, the experience is hard to describe in one word. The pizza itself was seasoned well. The Margherita and mushroom pies had nicely balanced tomato sauce and good cheese flavor, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. However, the crust was burnt enough to affect the whole meal. The first slices were fine, but by the end it felt like chewing on charcoal. The smoky aftertaste stayed in my throat. The grapefruit cocktail didn't taste like grapefruit at all -- more like artificial lychee syrup. I took one sip and left it. Seating was also disappointing. It felt like they expanded into a neighboring café space without updating it. The lighting wasn't harsh, just very plain and flat, and the decor didn't match the main restaurant. The whole area felt unfinished and lacking atmosphere. The meatballs were just okay -- very standard, nothing memorable. In summary, while the pizza flavors were solid, the burnt crust, strange seating situation, and bad cocktail made the overall experience just average. Definitely reserve ahead if you're going.

    We were visiting friends in Jersey City and they suggested we come here for dinner. Apparently it's very popular. Super cozy, intimate vibe with dim lighting. Seems like you definitely need a reservation. We had a 8:30pm Saturday reservation but weren't seated until 9pm. They specialize in Neapolitan style pizza. We started with the bread and butter and the meatballs with ricotta. The bread and butter was very fresh but not sure if it needs to be a menu item at $10. For pizzas, 4 of us shared the yellow margherita, calabrese, and burrata. They were all outstanding. The yellow margherita was unexpectedly my favorite. We actually didn't order the burrata, but it came on the house which was a nice surprise. They have a great drink selection as well. Two of us shared a bottle of vermentino and the other two had a few cocktails. I would happily dine here again and highly recommend.

    GET THE MEATBALLS AND RICOTTA. Wow I am still thinking about them weeks later. They were so soft and flavorful. The crusts of the pizzas were very light and had that wood fired taste. The food was phenomenal. The only reason this place is a 4 is because the price is insane. I'm not used to eating at this location often so I'm not sure if the pricing is typical but it was pretty pricey for $24-$30 for a personal pizza. Great experience though and would recommend :)

    Steph Y.

    Razza absolutely lives up to the hype. I love all of their pizzas, but the Cavolini is hands-down my favorite -- perfectly balanced and so flavorful (love the anchovy, lemon and brussel sprouts combo). The bread and butter tasting is such a fun and delicious way to start the meal, and the meatballs and kale salad are just as impressive. Cocktails are excellent, ambiance is warm and inviting, service is great and honestly, it's totally worth the wait. I never wait for pizza, but this is the rare exception. Without a doubt, Razza is my favorite pizza spot in Jersey!

    Emily C.

    We didn't have a reservation so got here right when they opened and we were seated pretty quickly. For a group of 5, we got the meatball appetizer and three pizzas. I'm not a meatball lover but those are some of the best meatballs I've ever had. The sauce was also flavorful and fabulous. The pizzas were all pretty good, with the crust being the highlight for me. Not sure I'd classify the pizza as life changing, but still was a decent meal.

    PANNA COTTA
    Diane S.

    This was our first time trying New York-style pizza, and it was solid! The crust was thick and crispy, but not overly so. They have a wide variety of pizzas, and the burrata one was absolutely to die for -- fresh, simple, but packed with flavor. The meatball with ricotta is a must-try; I even used the pizza crust to dip into it. The butter and bread are also a solid choice, and the panna cotta for dessert was super good. The space inside is huge, but definitely make a reservation. The ambiance is dim and fancy, which really sets the mood. Overall, a spot I'd happily come back to!

    Great pizza. Great service. I cannot wait to go back. Parking was not easy, but there are lots not far away.

For appetizers, we got zucchini chips, fried calamari and mussels. The calamari was fried too hard and it had a very salty, spicy Chilean type sauce over it. The zucchini chips were thinly sliced, lightly battered with Parmesan cheese sprinkled over them. They were decent but nothing to write home about. In fact, after having about six or seven of the zucchini chips I began to experience heartburn from the grease. For entrees, my husband had the chicken parm. He said it was too thick and should have been flattened more before frying. It was also very breaded. My brother-in-law ordered the chicken and waffles and he said the chicken tasted day old so after having a bite of one piece of the chicken he pushed the chicken aside and called it a day. I called the waiter over and informed him about the chicken tasting day old. He didn't try to change it out or take it off the bill or get a manager. He just apologized by saying I'm sorry. My crab Mac and Cheese was decent. It wasn't seasoned the way I would have liked but the huge, plentiful chunks of crab made up for that. I ate a third of my dish and packed the rest for home where I will doctor it up to my taste. I've never been to this particular restaurant before. The only reason we came today is because my brother-in-law was here on business and staying at a hotel in the area.

While the inside of the restaurant isn't large (note they have a larger back patio area as well) it's cozy and parties of two may share a larger, communal table which can be a nice way to make friends should you choose. As others have noted it's a BYOB place with a convenient local wine-shop just a minute or two nearby. The menu changes regularly though we got many of the classics that have stayed on the menu (only missing the Angry Chicken which we'll get next time). The pastas were delicious though I wish the rigatoni was a bit saucier and really enjoyed the ravioli which had a lighter, mid-summer flavor with some pine-nuts for extra texture.
