Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 3100511, member: 181"] I can't recall ever giving a bar pie the chance to travel. My time with Eddie's pre-dates Colony, so when I first went to Myrtle Ave, that's what I compared it to, and favorably, though Eddie's was thinner/crispier (some likened it to matzo, not me but I got the comp), and I would top it with sausage. Colony more cheesy, so hot oil suffices. I'm more than a decade since last visit, but if it still has crowds, it can't have gone too far astray. Star was a single visit, en route back home from OCNJ on MLK Day, after celebrating my sister's big birthday in 2015. Found it nothing special enough (didn't know in advance it was bar pies, and once figured out, wasn't as good as Eddie's or Colony), though a nice room & vibe. We did a recon on Thomas Edison National Historic Park nearby, and would probably pair the two if I returned, but I don't imagine either. Most memorable part of the experience was trying to figure out the signs on each table: "FI DOLLA PI WED" (or similar), which translated to a Wednesday January special of $5 pies. TBH, Star was approached with great anticipation (as along the way and due for a special stop because it was on a Top 10 NJ list) so I arrived with high expectations that I'd be eating a contender against my favorites from NH/CT & 4 Boroughs/LI. As such, I still haven't eaten great pizza in NJ or Staten Island, though I'm told it's there and I believe it. Recommendations appreciated. Props on cromulent, btw. [/QUOTE]
