Just about everything here is made in-house or acquired from a place you can reach via The Turnpike or The Parkway, and it\u2019s the Garden State\u2019s produce that puts Razza on top. Their stellar red sauce is made from two types of tomatoes, resulting in a base that\u2019s delightfully sweet with a slight acidic twang. And even though the Panna pie is draped in a blanket of cow\u2019s cream and mozzarella, the heaping pile of arugula is the best part. But the ingredients really shine in the seasonal pies\u2014in the summer, that means local corn with caramelized onions and fermented chili paste.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"low\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Best Restaurants in Jersey City 2023\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"hero-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/52SFUGD7N5D23BCIXR34M425NI.jpg\" \/>Margarito Cosme prepares a handmade pizza at Razza Pizza Artigianale on Grove Street in Jersey City on June 9, 2023.&#13;&#13;&#13;Jeff Rhode \/ For NJ Advance Medi<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"WWG7LYSHTNGN5AECDRTNXA4FXI\">This isn\u2019t the first time the famed pizzeria gained national recognition. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"AKF6EQPKMBD2ZOKJSPUNGVHU3A\">Razza has consistently received recognition, from sites like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nj.com\/food\/2025\/07\/2-nj-pizzerias-named-among-50-best-in-america-by-italian-website.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.nj.com\/food\/2025\/07\/2-nj-pizzerias-named-among-50-best-in-america-by-italian-website.html\">50 Top Pizza<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nj.com\/food\/2024\/06\/a-nj-pizzeria-was-just-named-one-of-the-22-best-in-the-us.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.nj.com\/food\/2024\/06\/a-nj-pizzeria-was-just-named-one-of-the-22-best-in-the-us.html\">The New York Times<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/pizzatoday.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">PizzaToday.com<\/a> among others.
