on Citysearch Feb 07, 2009(1)The pizza/tomato is, at best, so-so (2)There are VERY SERIOUS SHORTCOMINGS WITH THIS DUMP: (a) the outright arrogance of the owners and staff. Expect to be treated like dirt! (if you don't believe me read what... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 22, 2008If you like fat crust pizza- skip this place. However, if you by any chance happen to love thin crust or at least willing to try- go for the D'Lorenzo's pizza. I been there at Hamilton Ave place, which is supposedly much... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 04, 2008You would have to go to a gourmet restaurant like Osteria on North Broad in Philadelphia to get anything close. Anyone who says different has no appreciation for good food. Who the heck cares if the pizza is not... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 11, 2008DeLorenzo's seems so out of place for it being in Trenton. It looks like a house from the outside but the inside is very restaurant-eque. The service is pretty good and the food is delicious.... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 04, 2007If you're looking for pizza, don't come to Delorenzo's, but if you're looking for the best TOMATO PIE in NJ rush right in. The place is small, but that is just the charm of a row home turned restaurant. If you have any... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 22, 2006I read the Citysearch reviews and drove all the way to the seedy side of town that De Lorenzo's is in. Crisp crust... yes, tasty... no. By the way, I actually liked the fact that the restaurant was a hole in the wall in a... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 16, 2006<b>In Short<br></b>Long ago transformed from row house to restaurant, this family-run pizzeria still feels like a home. The tomato pie is as down-home and authentic as the surroundings. Sweet chunks of ripe... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 13, 2006I grew up and lived in Trenton for close to 25 years. There were two places to go for true tomatoe pies. You were either a De Lorenzo's fan (Hudson) or a Maruca fan (N. Olden Ave) Now that Maruca's has gone by the wayside, De... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 13, 2006Sadly, I grew up in the NJ/NY area and never ate at DeLorenzo's until recently when visiting my mother in the hospital over there in Trenton (I live in WA now). It was a very difficult trip, but let me tell you- thank god... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 17, 2005Without a doubt De lorenzo's Tomato pies is the best place in the country to get pure, honest pizza. NYC and Chicago are well known pizza towns but the secret is starting to come out that if you want pizza in it's purest... (more)

on Judys Book Sep 04, 2005Did you ever see people lined up outside a Pizza Place waiting for them to open? Neither had I until I visited Delorenzo's. I learned why as soon I entered this tiny little place. The resturant is essentially one room.... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 26, 2005You have not enjoyed pizza till you had a Tomato Pie from DeLorenzo (Hudson St. Trenton). You must try it just once and you will wonder what you have been eating all along. (more)

on Citysearch May 04, 2003I have gone to DeLorenzo's for 30 years now and it is the best Tomato Pie (Pizza)you will ever eat. They tried to grow and open some other locations in the 80's, but the Hudson St. location is the original and best. For... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 26, 2002I remember De Lorenzo's from my childhood when I grew up in Trenton, NJ. When I went back there 19 years later, it was walking back into a time I had long forgotten. De Lorenzo's not only looked the same, but still made... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 05, 2002If you're expecting real pizza at DeLorenzo's, you will be disappointed. They are TOMATO PIES. There's little or no cheese and they are usually burnt. True pizza lovers should not go there. Tomato pie lovers may like... (more)
