Even if the food at Coniglio's Old Fashioned in Morristown were just OK, a trip there would be worth it for the chance to watch Nino Coniglio — a nine-time Las Vegas world pizza champ as well as a "Chopped" champion — practice his craft.

"I am the real deal," he says. Fortunately, the food is fabulous. Coniglio makes his own dough — he has a wild yeast starter and uses 0 flour. He uses Campania-styled tomatoes. Locally produced fresh mozzarella. And fresh basil.
