Suffern's Brick Oven Spot Worth Knowing About

There are plenty of pizza places in Rockland County, but not all of them are working with a brick oven and a Neapolitan approach. Forgia Brick Oven Pizzeria, sitting at 1 Suffern Place in the heart of Suffern, is one of the few that commits to that method — and it shows in the crust.

The restaurant leans into the classics: pies fired in a brick oven, calzones, and a broader selection of Italian dishes for anyone at the table who wants something other than pizza. The setup is casual and family-friendly, which in practice means it works equally well for a weeknight dinner with kids in tow or a low-key meal when you don't want to think too hard about where to go.

Suffern sits right at the edge of the county, close to the New Jersey line, and it can sometimes feel like the kind of place people pass through rather than linger in. Forgia is the sort of spot that gives you a reason to stop. The address — Suffern Place — puts it in a walkable part of the village, convenient whether you're coming in from Mahwah, heading home from the train station, or just circling back after a hike in the nearby Ramapos.

For takeout regulars in southern Rockland, the kitchen handles that side of things too. It's not trying to be a destination restaurant with a months-long reservation list — it's trying to be the place you default to on a Friday when the week has been long and a good pizza sounds like the right answer.

If you're new to the area or just haven't made it over yet, the full listing has address details and contact information.
