Reservoir Tavern

I really feel sorry for the people who never experience a proper well done pizza. The last time I was here was right as the Covid begun so it was time for a proper rereview. Since 1936 this place has been family run with some amazing Italian fare but the bar pie is the staple and far from what you think from the usual NJ bar pie. While the interior of the crust is still nice and thin, the outer crust has a great thick yet airy Italian bread feel and a great flavor in itself. As I said with the well done cook, it’s not grease it’s the perfect lava like melting between sauce and cheese that elevates every bite. The sauce is zesty that you really can taste on the outer bites but those first few bites of each slice is a bite to remember as the intense heat and flavor from the cheese is off the charts and before you know it the 16” pie is gone. This is a pie that has to be sat down to truly enjoy as it’s best out the oven but that can be said about almost any pizza. Be sure to get in early cuz the dinner hours get absolutely packed as this is so many locals go to spot. One of the best spots in all of NJ!!!
