With some of the best bar-style pizza you will eat, Star Tavern is definitely worth the detour or trip, especially for the pizza enthusiast.

This is the best thing crust pizza in Northern New Jersey . If you've ever eaten at Patsy's in NYC then you'll know what I'm talking about. The place has a laid back and comfy atmosphere. Food's great.

Jason Linkins

You'll never know for certain if Jesus loves you unless you eat at Star Tavern and then you will always know that he loves you more than anyone because this pizza is DOPE AF!!!

Melissa S.

Melt-in-your-mouth, ultra-thin, cheesy, savory goodness. On my short list of must-try pizza joints. Arrive early to avoid long wait for a table, but it's worth it.

Xavier Jenkins

Of course the pizza is kick a$$. But so is everything else. Calamari is really good. If you don't have the kids with you, try sitting at the bar . You'll save wait time on a busy night!

Jason Gelman

Greatest thin crust pizza of all time. Get garlic and/or pepperoni for toppinga. Dont be afraid to use wing sauces (ranch or hot) on your pizza !

Douglas M.

Excellent thin crust pizza . Particularly liked the sausage . Be prepared to wait for a table..

Tyrell Brown

This establishment has the BEST pizza in the area! I've been coming here for years, and no longer order from other local places or even the chains (i.e., Domino's, Pizza Hut, Papa John's).

Mary K

Best pizza I've ever had, hands down. Plain, sausage , or pepperoni is where it's at.

Anthony Cascio

The best thin crust pizza in Northern New Jersey . They also make a mean peppers and eggs sandwich . Be prepared to wait 45 minutes. The place hasn't changed a bit in 50 years.

Keith Johnson

Best pizza in the country !????????

Marie Desdunes

Starving after seeing that Resnais triple feature? You can't beat Star Tavern pizza . Thin, crunchy with the perfect amount of cheese . Best pizza in NJ, hands down.
