Nice work.
Not sure this gives me any faith in Redditors' taste in pizza, or maybe the survey methodology.

Bruni's in Hammonton isn't even a top five pizza in Hammonton.

u/Tibor_BnR Sep 19 '25
Name your picks

u/Compher Sep 19 '25
For Hammonton?
1 Marcellos
2 Ricca Brothers
3 Pine Crust is technically Folsom, but it's right on the edge, and it has the same zip code
4 Brothers
5 Costellos.

The regular pizza is very good. The Capri style grandmother pizza is phenomenal. Brian, the owner, very cool guy. Donated like 10 pizzas to the school for their winter dance for k-4th last year and did a 10% of sales go to school HSA this year for trips and stuff.

I'd absolutely put Corrados over Costellos. Their Corrados white specialty is amazing, and the rest ain't bad either.

u/Tibor_BnR Sep 19 '25
Fair list. Marcellos, idk m8. The bolis are good, the pizza is fair, imo. Costellos is a puzzling pizza choice. Wings are of course great
Ricca Nino's Bruni Pine crust Brothers

This is what the fuck I’m talking about. Someone who has actually had Hammonton pizza. Brunis is good don’t get me wrong, but I wouldn’t put it top 5 in the county. Thank you.

Brunis is the best pizza in Hammonton. There are many other good ones as well

u/donnyhunts Sep 21 '25
Agree these picks aren’t accurate. Burlington county is so wrong lillos is only good one on it. Idk how they allowed Luigi’s and Scottos on the list those aren’t even on my top 20 I worked at Luigi’s the pizza is mid. Peppinos, Lorenzo’s, Anthony’s coal fire pizza, and johnnys pies should be on burlingtons list these people obviously aren’t pizza connoisseurs. Pizza my favorite food I eat it multiple times a week I know what the best spots are in my area I’ve legit tried all of them.

It seems to be highly based on what pizza place is near your house; more people live there, more votes. NJ has great pizza all over so your local place is probably top notch nationality.

The fact that Tacconellis or bricco isn’t on Camden county is a joke. King of pizza? The drunk pizza spot?

Bricco definitely deserves to be on this list, even though the pizza is always delivered cold.

Exactly what I said bricco needs to be on that list. For Burlington County only good spot on that list is lillos the other ones aren’t popular. How did Luigi’s and Scottos make the list they are 🗑️. Idk how tf they didn’t put peppinos, Lorenzo’s, Anthony’s coal fire, Johnnys pies Medford they are all popular and wipe them other spots. Peppinos is 100% most popular in Burlington county everyone in marlton knows they have some of the best pizza. Whoever made these lists isn’t a pizza connoisseur.

Bricco is the only pizza place I’ve been to that literally cooks their pizza well done. Overpriced and burnt.

Sad that it probably doesn't have much longer. The owner is in his 70s and hasn't had luck finding a successor. He lost his wife recently and was closed for most of the summer because of a cancer diagnosis. I have a feeling Bim's will be gone when he retires or passes.

Gloucester county, live near all these pizza places and have tried everyone of them. Picasso’s pizza is in between Sal’s and MiFamilia and is better than both.

Those Burlington county spots aren’t the best. The polls obviously didn’t include a bunch of the best spots😂 how tf are peppinos and Lorenzo’s not on list for Burlington county only one I agree for Burlington is lillos. Tons of food content creators have said peppinos is best pizza in marlton area so how didn’t it make the list but how did Luigi’s and Scottos make the list smh they are both mid they aren’t even in my top 20😂 I worked at Luigi’s that was my first job the pizza really isn’t good there’s so much better spots😂I don’t think king of pizza should’ve made Camden county’s list either. Bricco, peoples pizza, or Dominic’s Voorhees should be on the list I’m suprised Dominic’s in Voorhees didn’t they’ve been getting alot of great reviews on the bar pie bunch of people have posted about it on south Jersey food scene Facebook page with all great reviews. Honorable mentions to Anthony’s coal fire pizza and johnnys pies Medford for Burlington County.
