Coniglio's Old Fashioned

Coniglio’s is what a neighborhood pizza place should be: consistent, unapologetic, and perpetually busy at lunch. Nino Coniglio runs the kind of counter operation where the rhythm of the room tells you everything — the stacks, the slices, the regulars who order without looking at the menu.

About 200 pizzas leave this kitchen daily. The 2023 NJ Pizza Bowl win is on the record; what’s harder to quantify is how central Coniglio’s is to the actual day-to-day eating life of South Street. It’s not destination dining. It’s something more useful than that.

Also serves bagels and pastries. BYOB. The kind of place you go when you want something good and don’t want to think about it.
