Where Does Ben Stiller Get A Great Thin-Crust Pie? At The Lido In Hackensack, Of Course

Ben Stiller has popped up throughout New Jersey over the years, including at the Montclair Film Festival. He recently stopped in for the famed thin-crust pizza at a New Jersey landmark, the Lido in Hackensack.

Ben Stiller knows where to get the best thin-crust pizza in the county seat. Just ask Alex Nunez, who's been the pizza cook at the Lido Restaurant in Hackensack the past 20 years.

Stiller was raised on the Upper West Side of Manhattan by parents Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, once a popular comedy pair in the Sixties and Seventies (Jerry made his mark decades later as George Costanza's kasha-eating father on "Seinfeld").

The Lido turns 56 this year.

It was closed for several months in late 2018 while its new owners -- Lorraine and Bogota Mayor Steve Lonegan -- renovated the Main Street joint and handed the reins to son-in-law Kevin Parany to revive its comfortable, Sixties-era neighborhood vibe.

The Lido is a quick hop off Route 4 -- especially if you might have arrived in New Jersey by private jet at nearby Teterboro (from there it's nearly a straight shot up Polifly Road/1st Street or, when that's jammed, South Summit Avenue).

The visit from Stiller, a multi-talented actor, comedian, producer, film director, and screenwriter, might help boost employment. Turns out the Lido is hiring.
