The story
De Lorenzo’s Tomato Pies has been an old-school institution on Route 33 since 1947, and when Dave Portnoy of One Bite Pizza Reviews stopped by, he found a pie that “lived up to the hype with a perfect crisp,” awarding it a staggering 9.2. Portnoy admitted he was “stunned” by his own subdued reaction to one of the highest scores he’s ever given—a testament to the quiet confidence of a place that lets its signature Tomato Pie do the talking.
In a crowded New Jersey pizza landscape, De Lorenzo’s doesn’t rely on novelty. With a 4.6-star rating and a singular focus on its namesake dish, this spot remains a destination for purists. Portnoy’s near-perfect score underscores that it’s worth traveling for—no hype, just that perfect crisp.

“This tomato pie has the tomatoes really out on top and blingin'. The crust is super crunchy, very firm — reminds me a little bit of the Pepe's crunch. No flop at all, it stayed crispy the whole time even after sitting in the box. It has bite, pop, spunk, pizzazz. I love the crisp, I love the texture, I love the sauce. I'd give it a 9.2. I was between a 9.1 and a 9.2, but I'm feeling great. I'm full and I can still eat the whole thing — that's how good it is.”
