Nancy's Towne House • 1944

Nancy's Towne House serves what many consider New Jersey's finest thin-crust pizza from a cozy subterranean dining room in downtown Rahway, where red-checkered tablecloths and vintage wagon wheel lights transport diners back to the restaurant's 1944 roots. Owner Nancy Knudsen learned the handed-down recipes from previous owners, including the signature cracker-thin crust that earned an 8.8 rating from Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy and top-10 honors from NJ.com. Descend the stairs into this old-school tavern for pies that are impossibly light and crispy, plus Italian-American classics like homemade meatballs and house-made tiramisu.
