I’d call it the annual Rahway Rising pizza poll but it seems we missed out in 2010. Check out our previous poll results on pizza from 2009 and 2008. Cast your vote in the poll along the right side of the main page. As always, a reminder that the poll isn’t scientific in the least, and can be easily manipulated by anyone with too much time on their hands, so please, only one vote a piece.
I came across this story in The Brooklyn Paper last month — “Fifth Avenue gets trash cans straight out of ‘The Jetsons'” — and thought it was interesting. The local Business Improvement District (BID) installed six solar-powered, self-compacting trash cans. They cost $3,000 but hold three to five times as much trash thanks to the built-in compactor that’s activated by internal sensors when trash piles up. But, there is some evidence that similar devices didn’t work when they tried it in Philadelphia last year.
Speaking of trash cans – does anyone have any idea how to petition the town to put up a barrier around a trash dumpster? There is one at Roosevelt School which is in terrible condition and it is in plain sight of the front of many homes on Pierpont and Stanton Streets. I've called the school directly, which was what was suggested to me by the Building Department, to no avail (they said they would try to move it elsewhere, but so far nothing). I realize that the garbage trucks need easy access, however, surely there must be some way to put something around it so that it is hidden to some degree – even if it is some landscaping. Any suggestions how I/we can go about getting this accomplished?
I <3 the Rahway Rising blog! The chinese food poll was helpful to me in the past. I think Rahway needs a good thick crust pizza place that stays open later.
As a lifelong Rahway resident, there isn't a Pizza joint in town I haven't tried. Gino's used to be a childhood favorite, but we're talking about over twenty years ago now. And Rahway Pizza's very good also. I've tried many others on the list as well, but MY personal favorite in the area is in the Pathmark shopping center, PIZZA+ (AND). I LOOOOOOVE their pizza; the crust, the sauce has a certain twang to it that I enjoy, it's just really GOOD pizza. Too bad it's technically considered Avenel or Woodbridge though : (, but this Pizzeria is the BEST in the area !
Pizza + is awesome pizza. But i think nunzios is the king now. Their siccilian pie is the best i ever had and a fully loaded 10 pound pizza is at your door in 25 minutes for 17 dollars ! You can eat for a week off that thing. Not to mention the dinners are also top shelf as well. You gotta try it out guys.
I like Papa Vito's and Tony's…both good.
I haven't tried all of these but Nancy's Towne House has a decent thin crust pie and it is always packed with families chowing down..If I had to pick locally it is a cross between Pizza Time on St. George or Bellini's in Avenel.
