About us
1945
Our mission has always been simple: be a reliable, family-friendly place for great food, good times, and genuinely welcoming service. For generations, Star Tavern has been where memories are made, traditions are passed down, and familiar faces keep coming back.
That’s what makes The Star special. It’s a place to connect, share a great meal, and enjoy yourself, plain and simple. The walls, the energy, the smell coming from the kitchen, it all tells a story that can’t be replicated.
The Star Tavern has been a traditional family favorite for delicious, thin crust pizza served hot and lively in an atmosphere humming with nearly 80 years of neighborhood character.
Owned and operated by the Vayianos family since 1980, Star Tavern is now run by Gary Vayianos, a former attorney, who will tell you that it isn’t the result of any secret ingredient that makes what the New York Times calls “superior” pizza.
Star Tavern’s fame and good fortune is as much a result of the generations of families who go there as it is the consistently good & inexpensive food you get there… time after time, after time.
“The Star,” as it is affectionately called, sits in the far northern end of Orange, a wisp away from the energy of Glen Ridge, and Montclair. Star Tavern’s clamorous kitchen, in full view to the customer and always active with hand signals, voices and swirling ingredients, is open until 10 PM Monday through Saturday and 9 PM on Sunday for table, booth, bar, and take-out service.
We get it. Your kids want food they’ll devour, and you want a meal that doesn’t feel like work. That’s exactly what we deliver. Classic thin crust bar pies that have been perfected over decades, service that treats you like a regular from day one, and a room where nobody’s shushing anyone.
No pretense. No stress. Just good food and good times, the way it should be.
Star Tavern isn’t about trends. It’s about tradition, community, and pizza done the way it’s always been done. Because some things don’t need changing.
