History[edit | edit source]
De Lorenzo's Tomato Pies was founded by Alexander "Chick" De Lorenzo and his wife, Sophie, in 1947. The original location was in the Chambersburg section of Trenton, New Jersey. The pizzeria quickly gained a loyal following due to its distinctive tomato pies, which differ from traditional New York-style pizza by placing the tomato sauce on top of the cheese.
In 2012, De Lorenzo's moved to its current location in Robbinsville Township, New Jersey, while maintaining the same recipes and traditions that made it famous. The move was prompted by the need for more space and modern facilities, but the pizzeria has retained its old-world charm and continues to attract pizza enthusiasts from all over.

Unlike traditional pizzas, the tomato sauce is added on top of the cheese, giving the pie a distinctive flavor and texture. The pies are baked in a brick oven, which contributes to their unique taste and crispy texture.
