Top 20 pizza joints in NJ that only locals know about

We all know the famous pizza places in New Jersey. Some have been picked by national publications as the best or in the top 10 of some lists.

But here in New Jersey, we are so fortunate to have a ton of pizza shops and some towns offer a huge choice. When my daughter lived in Texas she was shocked that if her friends ordered pizza it was usually from one of the national chains.

There weren't many local choices and they trusted the big names more. Wow...what a shame.
