| - Have you ever been to Attilio's Pizza?
Chances are, you haven't.
Attilio's Pizza is this little strip mall storefront next to an Acme grocery store in the small village of Lincroft, New Jersey, about 45 minutes' train ride from midtown Manhattan.
I grew up eating Attilio's, and it is to this day the standard by which I judge all other pizza.
The reason that I mention this is, the first time I took a bite out of a slice of Broadway pizza, I was instantly transported back to my childhood, biting into a crisp, thin crust topped with thin, subtly slightly sweet tomato sauce, just enough cheese and oregano.
Perfect, textbook NY/NJ style pizza and probably my 2nd favorite spot in town for this style of pizza - #1 being Secret Pizza at the Cosmopolitan - but here, you actually pay normal pizza prices for pizza instead of the gouging that happens at center Strip.
It's halfway across town from me but well worth the drive.
