The best pizza to some is like naming their favorite child. There’s great debate as to who makes the best pizza is it New Jersey, New York, Connecticut or even Chicago with their deep dish pie. If I am only given one choice, pizza for me is the one food I could eat everyday for the rest of my life.

While I have not had every pizza in the county, I have always said that Dominick’s in Newton, specifically their Palermo pie is the best around. I am pleased to report that Food Network in a recent online piece where they announced the 50 slices you need to try in each state, named Dominick’s Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria as the one in New Jersey! Not just in the county but the whole state of New Jersey! The restaurant has been family owned and operated since the 1960’s with brothers Peter and Sal at the helm. The post states, “Their pizzeria is now known as the oldest one in Sussex County. The duo sell a fantastic Brooklyn pizza that’s a bit on the spicy side, as well as the rare New York-style Palermo square pie with marinara, red onions, herbs and spices.” To a certain someone I say, “I told you so” and now I want to go to Dominick’s and try their Brooklyn pizza!

Let us know in the comments section who your favorite pizzeria is. What’s your go-to slice? If I’m not eating the Palermo I like a good old fashioned grandma slice – square pie, thin crust kind of like a margherita slice – simple tomato sauce, mozzarella and fresh basil. What’s not to like?
