Jersey City's Razza Pizza Featured On Food Network's Facebook

JERSEY CITY, NJ — Anyone from Jersey City knows Razza is a local favorite, but on Thursday, a cameo on the Food Network pushed Razza into the national spotlight.

The restaurant took over the network's Facebook Live stream as star of the show. The five-minute video followed Razza chefs as they created a variety of pizzas, from start to finish. Viewers got to see the nitty-gritty, from kneading the dough and spreading the sauce to popping it out of the brick ovens and into its pizza box.

Comments quickly started rolling in, complimenting the dough and sauce, as well as focusing on the restaurant's Garden State roots.

"You've never had pizza anywhere if you never been to New Jersey," one user wrote.

Razza is no stranger to praise, in fact, its taken the top spot on several "best pizza" lists. In June, Razza made it on the top five pizzas in the U.S. for the website 50TopPizza, an Italian site that ranks pizzas worldwide. In April, Razza made it onto Food & Wine's list of the best pizza places in New Jersey.

Razza is at 275 Grove Street and each pizza is made with fresh and often local ingredients. The menu includes classics like Margherita pizza and twists like Jersey Margherita which is made with all Garden State ingredients.
