In 1917, Costanio DeLucia, an Italian Immigrant, opened a bread bakery on First Ave in Raritan. ?In the early years, horse and buggy delivered the bread to Raritan and other towns as far away as Martinsville.  In the 1930’s, pizza was added to the menu. By the early 1950’s, pizza popularity in this country grew so large that DeLucia’s converted to an all pizza menu. ?DeLucia’s continues to make pizza in the original brick oven. Third generation Joseph “Buddy” & Allie oversee the pizzeria, and his son, Christian currently owns and runs the business. A quick calculation estimates that over three million pizzas have been made throughout the years.

Eno Terra is founded on the principle of regionalism and seasonality, drawing from local farmers, fishermen, and poultry producers, with three season harvests and grass fed beef from the Eno Terra Canal Farm. Eno Terra, in line with the philosophy “Eat Local Drink Global,” brings together the best of local and regional markets and pairs the cuisine with the best wines from around the world.  The menu is Italian in sensibility and features a wood burning grill, while the wine list focuses on Italy and the United States with an abundant representation from France and Spain. Eno Terra is steeped in history, sitting on the oldest highway in America.  Known as King’s Highway, it was historically a center point of local commerce. Approximately 75 yards to the west of the front door is the bridge over the Millstone River.  This bridge was destroyed by General George Washington’s troops to help thwart the British after his successful battle in Trenton in 1777. The restaurant itself is the site of the Fisk General Store, and dates back to the 1860s. Original beams and original store foundation are still in use in the wine cellar; ask to see them when you visit! Eno Terra represents the Terra
