The Big Pizza Debate – A Slice of Old Bridge
No one can deny that when it comes to making the “dough,” Old Bridge has the market cornered. It’s a “slice” of opinion as to who makes the best pizza in town (becasue variety is the spice of life), but fortunately, residents can choose from over 20 successful pizzerias around town.
Whatever your preference, there’s a slice of Old Bridge for everyone: round or square; upside-down or right -side up; regular pie or personal pie; to cheese or not to cheese; cheesy filled crust, sesame crust, gluten-free, crunchy crust, doughy crust, thick or thin; red sauce or white; oregano or no oregano. There are many spices to choose from; not to mention the variety of toppings, including whether or not it should be topped off with basil. Will your pizza creations come from a traditional pizza oven, wood-fired or coal-fired? Will you dine in an old-school pizzeria or at one of the many restaurants where pizza is one of their specialties? If you’re exhausted by all those choices, wait – because there is one last question: Will you be dinning in or taking out?
Perhaps the hardest part is getting your family to agree where to eat! Unfortunately, we do not have any suggestions on how to make that happen quickly and fairly. However, what we suggest is that you try them all and remember, ‘When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie,” you’re in Old Bridge! Buon Appetito!
