I was craving brick-oven pizza so Dan and I decided to go to Rustique in JC. It has pretty good reviews on Yelp, with many people calling it the best brick-oven pizza in the area. Spoiler alert - it's not ha. Razza def beats Rustique in both of our opinions, though perhaps we were a little clouded by the disparate service. The restaurant was oddly hard for us to find. We entered in the take-out area and didn't realize immediately that there was an actual restaurant/seating area in the back. Nor did they tell us til I started exploring awkwardly backwards. The waiter also wasn't very attentive or friendly, and it took about thirty minutes for our food to come. I realize everything was made from scratch but does pizza really take that long? At Razza our food came pretty quickly and service was just wonderful. I enjoyed both of the pizzas we got, and we had a lot leftover, but it was def not even close to the best pizza I've had. The crust was kinda burned and not that fluffy - more thick and doughy. Also the meats on Dan's pizza were wayyy too salty. My meat was nearly non-existant on my pizza. Oh well. At least we tried it. The sandwiches are allegedly better than the pizza, so I'd prob try that but take-out only. I don't know if I'd wanna sit there again. It is BYOB but apparently no places to go that nearby.

| The Proscuitto di parma - proscuitto, arugula, mozzarella, roasted garlic oil and shaved parmesan. Loved the garlic and cheese but the meat was hard to find |
