Star Tavern

The spot, the food, and the reaction

Star Tavern in Orange is the ultimate North Jersey bar pie. It's super thin and crispy, with toppings all the way to the edge. People say it's the best, like a gold standard for this kind of pizza.

The place feels like it hasn't changed since the 70s, which is kind of cool. You order your pies by number, and they're so thin, it's amazing how good they taste. This is the kind of pizza that made people who make fancy pizzas today.

With bar pie in the mix, this City of Orange, NJ stop gives hungry people a pretty tasty reason to show up. bar pie also gets some well-earned attention, because one good bite should never have to carry the whole meal alone. Between bar pie and bar pie, the order has enough personality to make an ordinary food run feel like a small treat.

That is the kind of lineup that may have friends negotiating over the last bite before the plate even cools down.
