If there’s one thing Rutherford residents (and New Jerseyans in general) can agree on — it’s their love for pizza. From Rutherford to nearby towns like Hasbrouck Heights and Wood-Ridge, pizza isn’t just food — it’s tradition.
At Bella Pizza, proudly serving Rutherford and surrounding areas like Carlstadt, Moonachie, and Bogota, we’ve spent years perfecting what locals call some of the best pizza in New Jersey. Whether it’s our perfectly chewy dough — thanks to the water in our region — or our fresh, Italian-market-sourced ingredients (yes, just like in The Sopranos), we know Jersey pizza has a flavor and soul all its own.
But what truly sets a New Jersey pizza apart?
For many, it’s the toppings. From rich meats to garden-fresh vegetables, it’s the bold combinations that keep families, night owls, and young foodies coming back for more — especially here in Rutherford, where late-night pizza is always on the menu.
Let’s break down the top 4 most-loved pizza toppings among locals:

1. Sausage – A Rutherford Favorite
While pepperoni might be America’s go-to, sausage is the top choice for many in Rutherford. Whether it’s crumbled or sliced, spicy or mild, our sausage toppings are juicy, flavorful, and made to complement the sweet-savory sauce that’s become a Jersey signature. At Bella Pizza, sausage pies are a staple for many local families — and for good reason.
2. Mushrooms – Bold, Savory, and Underrated
Mushrooms may not always top the list in other states, but here in New Jersey, they shine — especially in combination with sausage. Earthy cremini or bold portobello, when cooked and seasoned right, can be as satisfying as any meat topping. They also offer a hearty, guilt-free option for vegetarians or health-conscious diners in Rutherford and beyond.
3. Pepperoni – The Universal Classic
Of course, we can’t forget pepperoni. It’s spicy, salty, and a favorite across generations — whether you’re a student grabbing a late-night slice or a parent picking up dinner for the family. On a classic Rutherford-style tomato pie, where the sauce has a touch of sweetness, pepperoni delivers the perfect flavor punch.
4. Spinach – The Star of the White Slice
A true local favorite, the white slice skips the tomato sauce and embraces olive oil, creamy ricotta, and mozzarella. Add in fresh sautéed spinach, and you’ve got a savory, comforting, and slightly sophisticated slice that’s beloved by our health-conscious and flavor-forward customers alike. It’s especially popular with late-night diners looking for something lighter, yet still delicious.
The Secret Ingredient? Quality.
At Bella Pizza in Rutherford, we believe great toppings begin with great ingredients. Thanks to nearby Italian markets, we source everything fresh — from specialty tomatoes and cheeses to meats and herbs. This commitment to freshness and quality is what sets us apart and keeps the community coming back again and again.
