Cranbury Pizza - Cranbury, NJ

Cranbury Pizza is a place that I frequented a bit during my time as an intern this summer.  The town of Cranbury is quite small and there are few options to eat in the little village itself (though the surrounding areas offer many choices).

Upon walking in this little pizza place, you immediately get a very close connection between the staff and the customers.  The cashier was greeting a girls ballet class that must frequent the spot, knowing them by name as if it was a daily routine.  He was very friendly and reminded me of a classic, talkative Italian.

Despite not expecting the food to be all that good, it surprises for the better.  The pizza features a good blend of cheese and sauce with a crust that lets you know you are eating a Jersey-style slice.  While featuring a small amount of grease, it is not too much to repulse, but instead add to the flavor.  In addition to my slice, I got a half turkey hoagie which was beyond enough food.  The sandwich required a wide stretch of the mouth, but the bread combined with the turkey, lettuce, onions, and oil & vinegar was just right for the classic favorite.  Cranbury Pizza does not do much to give a special spin on a pizza or hoagie, but that is just fine.  These are two items that do not require much differentiation in order to deliver a satisfying meal.
