Aside from the fact that NJ food, in some aspects, is not going to live up to San Diego food, how far outside of Princeton have you actually travelled? You can find any really REALLY good spots for any of that all over NJ, you just have to work for it. And to find what you think is "good", you're gonna have to do what the rest of us do and go find what you like the most.

Most of my dining has been in Princeton, Lawrenceville, South Brunswick, West Windsor, and Hopewell. Had a disappointing dinner last night in Bordentown (flavorless burgers). I've been going up to Somerville more often and did find a good brunch spot there and a good café.

Thai - Tried all the places in Princeton and Lawrenceville. Also tried Diamond Thai in Somerset.

Pizza - Tried Conte's, De Lorenzo's, and Nomad

Most of the food hasn't been "bad" per se. Just nothing I'd want to repeat and certainly not worth the money.

You're gonna have to learn where to go to get the best kind of food for everything you're looking for.

If you thought DeLorenzo's was just ok pizza I can't help you. But then again you are from Cali so I don't even know what you consider pizza out there.
