Why Millie’s Comes Up for Best Pizza in Morristown NJ

Millie’s comes up when people ask about the best pizza in Morristown NJ mostly because of its two ovens. For the family story, read our feature on Millie’s Old World’s family tradition.

Coal-Fired vs. Wood-Fired: What’s the Difference?

Coal-fired: Modeled on Totonno’s in Coney Island, the coal oven runs above 650 degrees and bakes a pie in about five minutes, according to Millie’s About page. The crust comes out thin and crisp, with a charred edge.

Wood-fired: Hand-built by Italy’s Ferrara family and shipped from Naples, the wood oven, according to Millie’s, tops 800 degrees and bakes a pizza in about 90 seconds. The crust is softer and puffier, with spotted char in the Naples style.

The Mozzarella Is Made In House

Both ovens use the same mozzarella, made in the Millie’s kitchen. Millie’s says it makes about 100 pounds of mozzarella a day, roughly 700 pounds a week. It shows up on the Margherita, the pizza kit and the meatball pies.
