900 Easton Ave # 52, Somerset, NJ 08873
I hope I'm rating the correct place here. I'm referring to the bagel shop behind Apple Farms Farm Market.
This place stinks. I have gone a few times, and most recently my bagel was terribly stale. YUCK.
The guy was nice enough, and of course commented on my beautiful baby, but sorry that doesn't make up for crappy bagels!

Hole in the Wall Bagels
25 Easton Ave, New Brunswick, NJ 08901
This place has become a weekend standard for us since moving to our new house. They're nearby and their bagels are good. In addition, they actually listen when my husband orders me a "light on the peanut butter."
Their name is quite fitting, since it literally is a hole in the wall, with the tiny waiting area typical of New Brunswick takeout. But their bagels are GOOD.

Stelton Pizza
1315 Stelton Rd # 3, Piscataway, NJ
This used to be our favorite pizza place. Even though it was 10-15 minutes from home, it was well worth the drive. We actually used to live really close to this, so would go there all the time.
Then we ordered two pies... a large mushroom and a large pepperoni. The cost was nearly $30 (I think it was $28 to be closer to exact), which seems like a lot. Further, the pies we got that night weren't that good.
So, used to be good but now too pricey and too far to be worth it.

Ray's Pizza
408 Renaissance Blvd, North Brunswick, NJ
This was on our way home in our last apartment. It was pretty good, and the price wasn't anything we ever commented about. Their mozzarella sticks were kinda gross, but my husband liked them. They did have this sandwich that I really liked... we liked it enough to be "regulars" when we lived over there.

Jersusalem Pizza
231 Raritan Ave, Highland Park, NJ
When we first came to central NJ, we saw this place on route 27 in Highland Park. My Jewish husband was super excited to see such a place, but we never got there.
Now, we live pretty close--about 10 minutes--and so decided to give it a try. We ordered a large pie with peppers, mushrooms, and black olives. It came to $18.99 after tax.
We decided that it was good, but far too pricey for us.
As an aside, it seemed that those coming to Jerusalem Pizza were not there for Pizza. Nearly everyone who came in got hot dishes rather than pizza; I think I was the only one there to pick up a pie.

Romano's
Tata's Pizza
Bella Roma Pizzeria
Pizza and Bagels
We've been living in central NJ for quite some time--since fall 2000 for me and since July 2001 for my husband. We love both pizza and bagels and are on the quest to find ones we LOVE. A "rubric" (yes, we are teachers) has not yet been developed, but we generally consider price, taste, and distance from home.
I am often saddened that not many people leave reviews on the internet. The opinions of others is a great guidepost, especially for those new to an area. So, I'm journaling our very own thoughts, knowing fully that no one will see this. :)
