- Serious EatsJanuary 2, 2014With some of the best bar-style pizza you will eat, Star Tavern is definitely worth the detour or trip, especially for the pizza enthusiast.
Kenneth RodriguezOctober 18, 2015This is the best thing crust pizza in Northern New Jersey. If you've ever eaten at Patsy's in NYC then you'll know what I'm talking about. The place has a laid back and comfy atmosphere. Food's great.
You'll never know for certain if Jesus loves you unless you eat at Star Tavern and then you will always know that he loves you more than anyone because this pizza is DOPE AF!!!
Melissa S.August 5, 2014Melt-in-your-mouth, ultra-thin, cheesy, savory goodness. On my short list of must-try pizza joints. Arrive early to avoid long wait for a table, but it's worth it.
Of course the pizza is kick a$$. But so is everything else. Calamari is really good. If you don't have the kids with you, try sitting at the bar. You'll save wait time on a busy night!
Jason GelmanAugust 10, 2013Greatest thin crust pizza of all time. Get garlic and/or pepperoni for toppinga. Dont be afraid to use wing sauces (ranch or hot) on your pizza!
Douglas M.February 3, 2017Excellent thin crust pizza. Particularly liked the sausage. Be prepared to wait for a table..
This establishment has the BEST pizza in the area! I've been coming here for years, and no longer order from other local places or even the chains (i.e., Domino's, Pizza Hut, Papa John's).
Mary KJanuary 13, 2016Best pizza I've ever had, hands down. Plain, sausage, or pepperoni is where it's at.- Anthony CascioApril 22, 2012The best thin crust pizza in Northern New Jersey. They also make a mean peppers and eggs sandwich. Be prepared to wait 45 minutes. The place hasn't changed a bit in 50 years.
Marie DesdunesAugust 22, 2010Best pizza I ever had. I no longer can eat pizza anywhere else local bc nothing compares. the eggplant parm dinner is the amazing also, its the eggy kind NOT to bready like some other places make it.
New Jersey PicturesMarch 18, 2012Starving after seeing that Resnais triple feature? You can't beat Star Tavern pizza. Thin, crunchy with the perfect amount of cheese. Best pizza in NJ, hands down.
lisa DavisJune 10, 2016Pizza was great, the sauce is awesome. And if you like thin crust them this definitely the place for you
I've been coming here since I was a very young kid. Unparalleled.
Mike Mahdavi NYC-LA-TEH-KISH * insta—> NYCPERSIANSMarch 22, 2023Best Piza in the neighborhood for sure if it’s NOT the Best in Jersey
Jack GashiNovember 30, 2014Legendary thin crust NJ pizza. A hungry 175 pound male can easily house a pie; order accordingly.
Matthew FronheiserFebruary 25, 2016It's pretty good pizza. Atmosphere feels like a bar. We came on a rainy wed night and didn't have to wait at all.
Best pizza in the state but if you order more then one don't expect it to all come at once it almost never dose
Justine BurkeFebruary 22, 2011Best thin crust pizza in NJ... the pizza is INSANE! and in Jan and Feb, Tues nights = $5 plain pie night! A STEAL if you can fight the lines!
LesleyJune 16, 2011The original thin crust tomato is heavenly. Also try the three cheese. The pizza here is the best pizza I have ever had.- Along with thin slice pizza, makes awesome hot wings. Yum!
- Tip for the meal budget conscious - No free refills. You pay for each one. Keep that it mind.
TerryAugust 29, 2010Lost my virginity here tonight.. First time here, first time eating a pizza with anchovies and first time drinking rolling rock beer.. Anything on the menu is good
D.j. CremeFebruary 23, 2012Whole wheat pizza thin crust in the best!! Ohh yeah and the buffalo wings!!
Plain cheese with a pitcher of beer? ...life doesn't get any better.
Tip your waitresses well... It's only the right thing to do!
If you're here, you already know it's the best pizza you can get.
