Well, first, none of the aforementioned cities are correct. To find New Jersey's best "foodie" city, you need to travel to Mercer County and visit Princeton. It was Princeton that was selected as the best foodie city in New Jersey.

According to Lovefood, "New Jersey's food scene is often overlooked; after all, the small state is within kissing distance of New York City and its titanic gourmet offering. However, foodies should make the time to take a bite out of Princeton. The eclecticism of the dining scene here is part of the appeal – but you can't go wrong with pizza. Top spots include Nomad Pizza (pictured), which focuses on thoughtfully created Neapolitan-style pies, and the long-standing, down-to-earth mainstay Conte’s Pizza."
