DeLorenzo's The Burg continues a multi-generational pizza-making tradition that traces back to the original Hamilton Avenue location in Trenton. The defining characteristic is the charred, crispy crust that reviewers describe as the hallmark of authentic Trenton-style tomato pie. One longtime fan wrote that the pizza "brought me back to my days as a teenager living on South Cook Avenue and walking to the Hamilton Avenue location during the summer," while another praised Tyler, the current owner, saying "you did your grandfather proud. Tastes just like the old days." The crust achieves a firm, crisp texture on the underside without becoming blackened, and the sauce is sweet and appropriately seasoned with just enough cheese to prevent greasiness. This style differs from New York or Neapolitan approaches—the focus is on a thin, sturdy base that holds up to the toppings and develops distinctive char marks in the oven. For pizza enthusiasts who understand regional styles, this is the real deal.
At least 7 of 20 reviewers praised the signature charred crust and classic preparation that one longtime customer said tastes just like the original Hamilton Avenue location
One reviewer declared this the best, highlighting the combination as a standout specialty pie
A special that one guest called delicious and specifically urged the restaurant to add permanently to the menu
Start with the classic tomato pie that built the restaurant's reputation—reviewers consistently rate it five stars for the charred crust and balanced sauce-to-cheese ratio. The Balsamic Blast pizza earned special mention from one guest who called it "delicious" and urged the restaurant to add it permanently to the menu. Another favorite is the white pizza with sausage and spinach, which one reviewer declared "the best." The kitchen also prepares solid Italian-American entrees: chicken parm gets paired mentions with pizza as "fantastic," and the tortellini pasta with sausage, broccoli, and creamy sauce shows up in photos as a colorful, generous portion. Penne dishes come with creative preparations like meat-wrapped asparagus and tomato sauce. The Antipasto Salad includes salami, provolone, roasted red peppers, pepperoncini, hard-boiled egg, and balsamic vinaigrette, though one honest reviewer advised skipping the salads in favor of pizza and pasta. Monthly specials at the Pennsylvania location offer additional options beyond the standard menu.
The restaurant interior features rows of tables and chairs with traditional family-style decor, creating a straightforward dining room where the food takes center stage over elaborate design. Photos show a well-lit, clean space suitable for families and groups who want a no-frills meal without fussy service. The exterior offers visible lighting and clear signage, with ample parking that multiple reviewers specifically mentioned as convenient. This is counter-service casual dining—guests order at the counter, grab a table, and receive friendly service from staff who earned consistent praise in reviews. One newcomer to Levittown wrote about having "a hard time finding places around that actually have good food" before discovering DeLorenzo's, and noted that "the staff is fantastic" in addition to the food quality. The vibe is unpretentious and family-friendly, appropriate for quick weeknight dinners, weekend lunches, or takeout orders. Don't expect white tablecloths or mood lighting; expect efficient service and reliable food.
The Levittown location closes Mondays and operates 11 AM to 8:30 PM Tuesday through Thursday, extending to 9 PM on Fridays. Saturday hours run noon to 9 PM, and Sunday noon to 8:30 PM. Pricing falls in the moderate range at approximately $15-30 per person, making it accessible for family dining without breaking the budget. The restaurant offers takeout and delivery through Slice and DoorDash for those who prefer to eat at home. Parking is plentiful according to multiple reviews, eliminating one common frustration of popular dining spots. For larger gatherings, the restaurant operates a pizza truck and catering service for events. Seating accommodates groups comfortably in the family-style dining room. The restaurant maintains a second location on Sloan Avenue in Hamilton, New Jersey, allowing fans on both sides of the state line to access the same recipes. No reservations appear to be necessary based on the casual service model, though calling ahead for large groups or catering inquiries makes sense.
While 17 of 20 reviewers gave five-star ratings, a few patterns deserve mention for setting realistic expectations. Two separate guests noted that when ordering pizza with a "light" crust in recent visits, the edges came out burnt rather than lightly baked—one mentioned this happened on the last two visits, and a friend experienced the same issue. This suggests occasional inconsistency in oven timing or communication between front and back of house. One strongly negative review criticized the sauce as flavorless, toppings as skimpy, and crust as cardboard-like, though this stands as a clear outlier against the overwhelming positive sentiment. One reviewer who praised the pizza and pasta advised that "the salads are forgettable and should be skipped," suggesting the kitchen's strengths lie firmly in the core Italian-American offerings rather than lighter fare. These concerns affect a small minority of experiences, but for guests with specific preparation requests or salad preferences, it's worth noting where the restaurant excels and where it occasionally falters.
