Papa's Tomato Pies

Papa's Tomato Pies in Robbinsville, New Jersey, stands as America's oldest family-owned and continuously operating pizzeria, tracing its roots back to 1912 when Giuseppe 'Joe' Papa first opened his doors on Butler Street in Trenton. This legendary establishment has been serving authentic Neapolitan-style tomato pies for over a century, passing through three generations of the Azzaro-Papa family. The restaurant moved to its current Robbinsville location in August 2013, bringing with it a century of tradition and a reputation that has earned national acclaim. Nick Azzaro, grandson of Dominik 'Abie' Azzaro and Teresa 'Tessie' Papa, now carries on the family legacy alongside his cousin Michael. The menu features the legendary Trenton Tomato Pies, available in small 14-inch and large 16-inch sizes, alongside the famous Mustard Pie that has become a viral sensation among food vloggers and pizza enthusiasts nationwide. The restaurant has been featured in the New York Times, HuffPost, Barstool Sports, and named among America's best old-school restaurants by The Daily Meal. Regulars still gather on the last Wednesday of each month, continuing a tradition started by teenagers from Trenton High and Trenton Catholic decades ago. Open for lunch and dinner, this New Jersey institution offers an authentic slice of American culinary history.
