Razza
New Jersey
Razza Pizza Artigianale in Jersey City treats pizza as a product of many individual choices, from flour and fermentation to the ingredients added at the end. Its kitchen makes bread and butter in-house, extending that interest in preparation beyond the pizza itself. The restaurant describes flour milled in Clifton and a process in which ingredients are selected with care, including the salt used on the pizzas. The focus gives the menu a connection with New Jersey as well as Italian pizza traditions. Bread and house-made butter provide a useful starting point for a meal before moving to the pizzas. The restaurant's identity lies in this attention to the components of relatively simple food.
