Simply the Best
I've had pizza all over the country, and simply put nothing else comes close. I think I'm merely just confirming what the others have already said. The tomatos are lush, the crust slightly burned to perfection, the cheese is amazing. There is no bathroom, no menus, long lines and they only take cash. Why? Because they can. Bring your favorite lager and come early and prepare yourself for a treat.

Born to Eat DeLorenzo's
This is the most wonderful, mouth-watering tomato pie you could ever imagine. I have been to MANY different places trying pizza and tomato pies of the sort.... NOTHING TOPS DeLorenzo's. I don't live in NJ anymore (I used to live right around the corner), but when I visit, I frequent this place as much as my pocket can handle. It rocks my world!!! On my last visit my brother (who no longer lives in NJ) made me get a pie and bring it home for him, and I had a full days drive to get home. Needless to say, he didn't care. He just wanted his DeLorenzo's. Get there early (around 4:30pm)... there's almost always a wait, but well worth it. There is NO BATHROOM, so use one before you come, but don't let that stop you from trying it out... you'll be missing out. And if you're looking to romance someone... this place is perfect... you can bring a bottle of wine with you - it's great. Just don't forget to savor the sweet taste. Yummm......

Is it worth a Transatlantic Flight?
YES! I only know the location at Hudson St. and I have to admit, a friend of mine (living close to Trenton) and I often visit did not overdo telling me this is one of the best Pizza/Tomato Pie places in the world. The first visit there did convince me, so we always have to go there when I'm around. In my opinion it's hard to find a place in Europe with a better quality (maybe at a family's table in Italy, but I would not expect it in a restaurant... but isn't DeLorenzos like being with family?)

My hang out since I was 12 (and I'm 51)
I'm from the 'burg and I now have a restaurant north of Pittsburg in Cook Forest. My inspiration was Chic Delorenzo and Gary Amico with my old friend Lenny. It was a privilege to just watch these guys work. Now as an executive chef and instructor I bow to most of the joints in the 'burg, and as far away as I am, I get people out here who know DeLorenzos, Rossis, and the like. Those who complain about pizzas being burnt don't know how to eat pizza. First of all it's Tomato Pie and it's supposed to be well done. That's how they like it in Pittsburgh too. (By the way they call Pittsburgh The Burg too, the nerve. I miss you Trenton). Stop by Peoples Bakery and eat a cannoli for me, and have an italian ice for my daughter. God bless the 'burg. Its worth the wait, you will get hooked, don't complain about the facilities, and try to appreciate an old fashioned family business run with care, that uses the top quality products obtained from local merchants and is kept cleaner than any restaurant I've ever cooked in in this or any other country.

Hands Down, nothing better
I drive from Baltimore (home of the worst pies on the planet) on a semi-regular basis to get a fix. Perfect crust, delicious toppings, and one of a kind atmosphere. Bring a bottle of wine, and be prepared to wait.

DeLorenzo's Hudson Street Is Best Pizza In The Northeast
The tomato pie at DeLorenzo's is the best pizza in the entire Northeast. Nothing compares with it. Plain, pepperoni, onion, sausage -- you name it. It's all good. We've eaten there for years, and compared to all the others -- from Boston to Washington DC -- it's the best.

A Mouthwatering Trenton Tradition
Thin, crispy crust; sweet, perfectly seasoned tomato; and just the right amount of cheese makes for a tomato pie "purist's" delight! I've been savoring Delorenzo's tomato pie since I was old enough to knaw on crust (a relatively long time). In all my years - and travels - I've never had a pie (pizza or otherwise) that can even come close to the perfection that is Delorenzo's! Mangia!
Recommended: Traditional Cheese; or kick it up a notch with a Garlic Pie!

The Two Delorenzo's
I'd like to share my opinion on the plusses and minuses of the two Delorenzo's Restaurants in Trenton. They are apparently owned by a pair of brothers who have a friendly rivalry going on. Both Delorenzo's make what I would consider the best pizzas I've ever had. There are differences, though. The Hudson St. pizzas seem to come out with a crispier crust then the Hamilton Ave. location. However, the Hamilton Ave. location's crust has much more depth of flavor than the Hudson St. crust. The pizza sauce is also different. The Hudson St. location apparently uses crushed tomatoes, while the Hamilton Ave. location adds additional flavors to the tomatoes (garlic? salt? who knows?) but again, the taste is more complex and possesses a greater depth than at the Hudson St. Location. In short, my ideal pizza would be prepared at Hamilton Ave. and cooked at Hudson St. Both make amazing pizzas, so try both and come to your own conclusion.

Worth the trip!
I drive an hour each month to Delorenzo's in Chambersburg. It is handsdown the best pie I've ever eaten. Go early or you'll have to wait.

Try the Clam Pie!
The Hudson St. clam pie is the best pie I have ever tasted. It features a perfect combination of diced garlic, clams, tomatos, cheese and spices over a thin and crispy crust. It is well worth the trip from center city Philadelphia (lack of bathrooms notwithstanding)!
Recommended: The Clam Pie and the sausage/onion pie.

Best tomato pie in Trenton along with DeLorenzo's on Hamilton Ave. Sometimes, Hudson street tomato pie is burned.

Last order was slightly burnt
I've written glowing words about Delorenzo's before but I must report that my last order of a veggie pie was slightly burnt. I'm sure this was just an abberation.

Best pizza in NJ
Delorenzo's tomato pies are so much better than every other pizza I've ever had, it seems a waste to go anywhere else. We've had to budget ourselves to one per month.

The crust is thin and crispy and the pepporoni is thick and tasty. There are plenty of pie places in Trenton, but locals almost universally call Delorenzo's the best. This would explain several things:

The waiting line out the door, even in the rain Patrons flocking to the joint even though it has no bathrooms They take the phone of the hook for pick-up orders when they're too busy

Delorenzo's is closed Monday and is open only for dinner except Friday when they open for lunch.

I really can't say enough about the food except that its worth a trip from wherever you
