El Presidente is back in the Garden State to review what we do best.
No, not cut each other off in traffic. Make pizza.
This time around he stopped at Ferraro’s Pizzeria & Pub in Middlesex, NJ.

The restaurant has been around for 13 years but the family has been in the pizza business for about 60. Portnoy is quick to point out the charming, old school maroon rubber covering the tables.
Ferraro’s Pizzeria & Pub
According to the restaurant’s website:
Ferraro’s Pizzeria & Pub, located in Middlesex, New Jersey, offers a menu filled with both traditional Old World Italian dishes as well as many new innovative culinary creations at reasonable prices.
Ferraro’s Pizzeria can be found at 275 Lincoln Blvd. in Middlesex, NJ.

As always, Portnoy judges the undercarriage of his slice:
It feels crispy but there’s no char there…. Oh that crust. Very good.
Portnoy goes in for his classic “one bite” (which always ends up being three or four bites depending on the pizzeria), and understands why there’s local pride surrounding Ferraro’s.
It’s very good. Thin. Crispy.
The only thing lacking in his opinion was some char. That said, he practically finished the entire slice.
