Calamari Fra Diavolo

ORANGE, N.J. - That's along with some other items on the menu at 'Star Tavern,' located at 400 High Street in Orange, New Jersey.

It's easy to eat a whole pizza pie at 'Star Tavern.' The dough is rolled super thin, it's shaped with this little device and topped with homemade red sauce and whatever toppings you like.

The recipe for the pizza is the same as it's been since 1965. Gary Vayianos' family bought the restaurant in 1980 and they added some other dishes -- wings, pastas, sausage sandwich and calamari.
