Pizzeria on Pine Opens in Bergen-Lafayette
Just when you thought Jersey City was at capacity with pizza joints, another one opens in the perfect spot in the neighborhood. Pizzeria on Pine opened in Bergen-Lafayette in late September and already seems like a local favorite. The husband-and-wife owners created the business as a homage to their NYC roots and current community here in JC.
As with all great pizza (and bread, and bagels…) it starts with the dough. At Pizzeria on Pine, the dough is made with just six key ingredients – flour, water, yeast, salt, sugar and olive oil. The dough is fermented slowly and then hand stretched and baked hot. Every pizza creation imaginable is offered and you are also welcome to design your own pizza or “foldable” as it is referred to here. Our personal favorite is the simple and classic Grandma – a thin, bubbly and crispy crust with mozzarella, fresh basil and generous amounts of tomato sauce.
Beyond pizza, they have plenty of apps like wings, meatballs, mozzarella balls and garlic knots. They also have pasta dishes, salads and vegetable sides. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diners have excellent options to choose from. Welcome to Pizzeria on Pine!
