The pizza here is very notably delicious. It’s no wonder chef Mike Friedman got a James Beard Award nom.

About All Purpose

All Purpose is Chef Michael Friedman’s nostalgic adventure into the New Jersey pizzerias of his youth. A playful selection of antipasti fill the menu, including crowd favorites like buttery garlic knots with parmesan fonduta, a crisp, zingy Caesar salad as well as an indulgent baked eggplant parm. Classics like prosciutto & mozzarella, salumi and fried mozzarella are great starters as well, but the main attraction is the pizza. A long-fermented dough with whole wheat flour and extra virgin olive oil creates the base for exciting and inventive combos for classic pizzas at this deck oven institution. Favorites include a pepperoni & chili honey pie, as well as a cheese-lover’s dream, topped with ricotta, mozzarella, taleggio & black truffle. Don’t skip dessert – the baked-to-order chocolate chip cookie is as indulgent as it sounds. A pizza-friendly list attracts wine lovers here, as does a local craft beer selection and some of the best cocktails in town.
