Restaurant Review

Serving up some of the best pizza in central Jersey, this tavern style restaurant is ideal if you are looking for a place to join a group of friends or family for some good pizza and a beer.

Conte's is a Princeton institution with a lively ambiance, a dated tavern decor, and patrons from all walks of life and on any night you are apt to find a mixed crowd of professors, students, bowlers and little leaguers.

The interior is very large with an enormous bar, and it tends to fill up fast. If you come after 7 pm, you are likely to wait for a table, just pull up to the bar and enjoy a beer.

They serve up thin crusted pizza that is bread-like and tasty. It's crispy, slightly charred, and chewy. The toppings use fresh ingredients of good quality.

While they have a menu with other dishes of Italian food, the pizza is what you come for.

Most people enter from the back door where you can park on the premises or on the safe side street.
