This is like a 5 minute ride from me and I never knew about it. Pizza town here I come! Thanks for sharing.

[@MattDV]

lol, Let them know I said hi. And Enjoy.

[@darryl_banks]

I swear I’m about to get up off this desk and go straight to Pizza Town. I know good pizza when I see it. Damn you Matt!! Lol

[@MattDV]

LOL, enjoy my friend.

[@tonydontknowboxing]

You don't know good pizza when you see it because good pizza don't flop. Typical mind of a black man

[@darryl_banks]

Guys I went. Not the same day but a day or two later and it was exactly what Matt said it would be. 🔥🔥🔥

[@MattDV]

Thats good to hear Darryl. It is truly good pizza.@@darryl_banks

[@darryl_banks]

@@MattDV Hey Matt there’s a spot in North Bergen you should try called Sandwichitos. It’s a combo of Dominican and Italian sandwiches.

[@stephaneholman6345]

Now that's a real slice of pizza. You getting two and you can get four slices out of both of them while. Can't get their hair in Greensboro North carolina. I missed it cheese oozing down your arm. Enjoy🍽🍽🍽🍽

[@MattDV]

I bet you can get some good soul in Greensboro though. 🙂

[@thomasthetrain3942]

I remember eating here every weekend back in the early 90s....the place is definitely a throwback...its been a few years since I actually had pizza from Pizzatown but your video has motivated to pick up a pie...keep up the good work you definitely finding all the spots in Newark!!

[@MattDV]

Thanks Thomas. I will def be paiing them another visit soon. It was delicious.

[@mrgray001]

I was raised in NJ but I moved away 15 yrs ago. You simply cannot get food like this anywhere else. I stop by whenever I’m in town

[@MattDV]

You are absolutely right. It's hard to find Jersey foods anywhere else.

[@o.g.j.t.5922]

The ORIGINAL Pizza Town is in Elmwood Park New Jersey, go check it out so you can compare the 2 , when my 2 daughters and I arrived in New Jersey back in 2010 for my Mom's Funeral it was our first stop to eat before going to Paterson, also check out Tarominas in Paterson 😊 Uniquely made pizza 🍕 tell them that Guy from Seattle sent you 😊

[@MattDV]

Thank you.

[@chrisflood9205]

Hi Nelson. Newark is a City in New Jersey. It is actually the largest city in New Jersey. We are about 10 miles from New York City.

That first slice and bite was like watching the ninja turtles eat pizza. That crunch and the cheese was falling off. That's fire and desire. I didn't know New Jersey folks to be so nice but that seems like a nice neighborhood and restaurant. Can you pump your own gas or is it still full service only?

[@MattDV]

LOL, Jersey people are cool! Well...I'm biased of course. LOL Nope, we do not pump our own gas. Still have a gas attendant. This is kinda sad. 🙂

I don't know how Domino, or Pizza Hut, or Papa John's, or Little Caesar's, or ANY pizza chains even TRY to sell pizza in New Jersey, where there's a REAL pizzeria, owned and run by REAL Italians, on every block. Send the cardboard pizza back to where it came from.

Matt, did you get rooked? The sign on the back wall says "2 slices + fountain drink... $6.00+tax." You paid 8 bones. Check your receipt. Maybe because you opted for Welch's in the bottle? Either way, customers are rolling into that shop. Not like the factory workers from the old days, but...

Yea, I believe the slice are 3 bucks each. I noticed that sign during the edit. Floating prices. LOL. That was a good price.

[@loudmouthnewyorker2803]

That old fella has seen the ups and downs of being a business owner. Next time ask for well done when he reheats the pizza. Makes the crust crispier so it doesn't droop. Also you can ask for an additional side of marinara so you can dip the pizza crusts at the end.

[@MattDV]

The crust was perfect for me. Reminds me of another spot of my youth. Sals Pizzeria. And also Star Tavern. Check out the video here... kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZfHZpehe89nra8si=khQlbaVFGiSf9DEw
