For real local food in Trenton I recommend Papa's Tomato Pies. Since 1912 it's the oldest family owned pizzeria in the US. Their signature dish is the Trenton Tomato Pie where the cheese and toppings are layered first and then the tomato sauce on top. This is different from traditional pizzas. And their Mustard Pie with a thin layer of spicy brown mustard under the cheese and sauce is a real game changer. Papa's commitment to tradition and quality makes their pies stand out in the local food scene.
"Contento" in Trenton offers authentic Italian-American cuisine, focusing on traditional dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. Their standout "Pasta alla Vodka" showcases handcrafted pasta, made fresh daily, delivering rich flavors that highlight the essence of Italian cooking. This commitment to quality not only enhances the dining experience but also supports the local community, contributing to the success of local restaurants.
