Artisanal, coal-fired pizza is the draw, for dine-in and takeout. 

THE SCOOP

In addition to classic cheese, pepperoni and Margherita pies, Mercato also features white clam, white spinach, mushroom and gorgonzola, bacon burger, Buffalo chicken, veggie, meat lovers (sausage, pepperoni, bacon) options, plus a spicy Devils pie for fans of NJ’s NHL team. Mercato also serves appetizers, salads, pastas and classics such as chicken Parm and spaghetti with meatballs.

HEADS UP

Mercato is located next door to its smaller, 1950s-inspired sister, Novelty Burger & Bar. Both are just around the corner from the Prudential Center, ideal for game or concert nights.
