If there’s one thing that binds people across the globe, it’s pizza. From the corners of Europe to the bustling streets of Asia, no matter where you go—you’ll likely find a pizzeria around the block.

Why Bella Pizza Is the Best Pizzeria Garfield Has to Offer
In Garfield, pizza isn’t just food—it’s a way of life. And Bella Pizza has become the town’s go-to spot for authentic New Jersey pizza, offering a perfect blend of crispy thin crusts, rich tomato sauce, and premium toppings.
Bella Pizza’s secret? A dedication to flavor and quality that never cuts corners.
“We don’t need gimmicks or trends—we make every pie like we’re feeding our own family,” says the owner of Bella Pizza. “That’s what makes us the best pizzeria in Garfield—and people can taste the difference.”
New Jersey Officially Takes the Crown
For decades, New York has worn the pizza crown. But in a recent Food & Wine Magazine issue, the unthinkable happened—New Jersey was crowned the #1 pizza state in America, beating New York (which dropped to 3rd place!) and even surpassing Connecticut.
And while the rest of the country was shocked, those in Garfield already knew: Jersey pizza has been top-tier for years.
The State of New Jersey’s official Twitter even posted a victory tweet:
“fact check: TRUE.”
What Makes New Jersey Pizza So Good?
According to the team at Bella Pizza—widely regarded as the best pizza spot in Garfield—there are a few key reasons:
Authenticity: True NY/NJ-style pizza, made the traditional way
Quality Ingredients: Bella Pizza uses fresh, local ingredients without cutting corners
Consistency: Every slice is made with precision, from the first to the last
Community: Bella Pizza isn’t just a restaurant—it’s part of Garfield’s cultural heartbeat
Unlike many trendy New York pizza shops chasing tourists, New Jersey pizzerias like Bella focus on serving locals—with pride.
The Underdog Advantage: How Jersey Beat NYC
When asked about New Jersey’s rise to the top, the editor of Food & Wine Magazine made a key observation:
“New Jersey feels like what New York pizza used to be—slower, more thoughtful, with time to honor tradition instead of chasing fast cash.”
And he’s right. High NYC rents and heavy tourism pressure have forced many New York pizzerias to sacrifice quality. Meanwhile, Garfield’s Bella Pizza has remained focused on the craft, delivering unbeatable taste at unbeatable prices.
“It’s not hype. It’s hustle,” says Bella Pizza’s owner. “We had to earn it—and now we’ve claimed it.”
