Signature at Tacconelli’s Pizzeria in Haddon Township and Maple Shade
A classic that continues to stand the test of time, this delectable white pie’s highlights include the wonderful dough with just the right snap and chew, chopped tomatoes, slices of mozzarella cheese, spinach and a healthy dose of garlic for good measure.
Stinger at Bricco in Cherry Hill and Westmont
Aged, hand-stretched dough sets the stage for creamy buffalo mozzarella, tomato and spicy soppresata before it’s blistered in a custom-made coal-fired oven and finished with drizzles of honey, basil and mint.
Vokda, Hold the Tonic at Back Door Pizza in Cherry Hill
This pizza speakeasy operating out of the rear of The Farm and Fisherman has gained a loyal following thanks to its wonderful array of pies, including this one covered in a flavorful vodka sauce, topped with a mozzarella-provolone mix and a spiral of pesto sauce.

Available both round or square, this tantalizing creation features a slightly fiery marinara sauce, crumbled sausage, chunks of mozzarella and burrata, sprinkles of Parmesan, a slight touch of extra virgin olive oil and fresh basil.
Original Tomato Pie at Lillo’s Tomato Pies in Gloucester City and Hainesport

Fig and Smoked Prosciutto at La Scala’s Fire in Glassboro and Marlton

The Paula at Johnny’s Pies in Medford
Johnny’s prides itself on using organic, farm-fresh ingredients, and you can taste the quality in every bite.
