De Lorenzo Tomato Pies - Trenton, NJ

One of the best pizzas to be found anywhere. The crust is thin. The cheese is applied sparingly; it's the tomatoes that take center stage here. The sausage is locally famous, added to a pizza in sweet, juicy, fennel-flecked chunks. The spicy pepperoni is hand-sliced to double-nickel thickness. Be forewarned: no bathrooms!

The sausage is chunky, the tomatoes are sweet, and the edges are blackened.  Perfection!

You get a good view here of the thick-cut pepperoni De Lo's uses.  The surface pieces turn brown and crisp in the oven.

This is a plain tomato pie, cut in the traditional De Lorenzo's way - once lengthwise, then several times across.

De Lorenzo's sausage topped pie holds chunks of sweet Italian sausage, and is probably their most popular pie.

De Lorenzo's is decorated in the Classic Northeast Pizzeria motif, i.e., the walls are covered with pictures of famous and not-so-famous fans.

De Lo's is located in an unassuming corner of the old, once Italian section of Trenton, known as The Burg.
