Third Proof Pizzeria — Restaurant in Montville Township

What an absolute gem of a pizzeria! Saw a few photos of this place on social media and thought we’d check it out- so glad we did!

What immediately set this place apart was the quality- one bite in, you could instantly tell the quality of ingredients and the amount of effort that must have gone into perfecting their recipes. Dough had incredible texture and was the right blend of crisp with some chew, sauce was robust, and the cheese blend allowed all of the elements to balance perfectly. Really can’t decide if the square or the round were better, we loved them both equally. All cooked to perfection.

All that being said, the chicken parm was just as good as a pizza. The cutlet was HUGE, was seasoned really nicely, and had a generous amount of properly melted cheese. Garlic knots were also fantastic and the sauce paired perfectly with them as well.

Pricing was more than fair considering the quality and portion sizes. The menu isn’t huge, but this clearly is a place that put a ton of planning and thought into their initial offerings and knocked every one of them out of the park. Not every place needs to have a diner sized menu- 3PP clearly knows what they do best and put the effort in to get everything right. Having gone to almost every widely spoken about pizza joint in the tri state area, Third Proof is right there with the best of the best, you’re getting NYC or New Haven quality out here in the burbs. Customer service was also excellent, despite how busy they were- owner was personable and took the time to address everyone and make sure everything was right. Looks like we just found our new favorite local...

My friend told me about this new pizza spot in her town, so we decided to check it out—with 3 starving kids in tow. The wait was a bit long, but totally worth it because everything’s made fresh and sooo good! My fav was the square one which was thicker style but so light!

Went back the second time and ordered 30 mins ahead for pickup—way quicker that way. Finally found my second favorite pizza place in NJ!...

If you are a pizza snob like me, who knows about dough and how it's the foundation of all pizza, then you will appreciate Third Proof Pizza. Many pizzerias overlook the importance of quality dough, and as a result, many do not know the difference. Third proof has proven, no pun intended, that quality dough can be made in Morris County. It’s all about the chew of the bones. Great pie, thanks, guys! We...
