Six pizzerias, most in the central part of the Garden State, have been crowned by the Washington Post as having the best New York-style pizza.

The eateries earned recognition as part of a new national database by the Post that categorizes the best restaurants in each state specializing in Chicago, Detroit, Neapolitan, New York, Roman, Sicilian, and Tavern-style pizza.

According to the rankings, the pizzerias that are pros at serving up NY-style pies are:

Roma Pizza, Ocean City
Rome Pizza, Dunellen
Scotto’s Pizza, Marlton
Prime Pizza & Kitchen, Haskell
Brick + Dough, Montclair
Romeo’s Raintree Pizzeria, Freehold

The Post analyzed 7.5 million Yelper reviews and came up with a formula based on ratings, reviews, and pizza styles, to identify the best ones, it said. The pizzerias above were preferred by the formula.
