“ First off I’d like to say that the food speaks for itself. The ingredients were fresh, the dough was remarkable, and the quality overall in every dish I ordered was impeccable. The other reason why I’m writing this review is due to the individuals that (I’m assuming) owned the establishment. The one gentlemen was in the middle of a food order and he took the time out of his day to stop what he was doing and come over to us and give my 3 year old daughter a dough tossing show. Not to mention if you have small children they are kind enough to provide your little ones with a dough ball to keep them entertained until your food arrives. Everyone there was so kind and the devotion to their craft was visible and translated through the food and the experience they provided for my family. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area or people who are visiting the Jersey shore. Considering I live close to New York and in an area of Jersey that’s well known for delectable pizza and various Italian dishes, it’s nice to know I now have a new place at the shore to go to and get a taste of home. ”
“ It's a bit tough to get to during the summer, so sneak in during off-season. Or make the summer effort because it's worth it. EXTREMELY friendly and customer oriented ownership and staff. Pizza is solid. Sneaker pick: Try the cheesesteaks. ”
“ Went w my family and everything we ordered was great. Salads were big but, to be honest, save the room for the pizza! I also would skip the 10 chowder, only because the portion was so small. It was good but the little cup I got was not worth the price (my opinion) The YO JAULIE pizza was AMAZING, also the bacon ranch pizza. All their pizza is great and the staff will play with the kids w dough. Ps, gelati , also great! ”
“ We had to wait when picking up but only due to a technical error with Slice. They were working on resolving that when we were there. Other than that, food still came out relatively fast and was great! Perfect spot for a lunch at the beach. ”
“ We ordered cheesy bread to start, a bruschetta pizza, and a BBQ pizza. All three were amazing. So tasty. The cheesy bread was stacked (photo shows only a few remaining pieces after we started.) The crust was thin, but not burned (brick oven), crispy yet somewhat soft. Basically perfect. The bruschetta pizza was one of the best pizzas we've ever had. The toppings were cooked well, fresh, and the balsamic vinaigrette sauce was awesome. The BBQ chicken pizza, also awesome. Highly recommended. Right on the beach, although the berms have been built up to the point you don't get much of a view. They do deliver out onto the beach. ”
“ Fantastic burgers n cheese steaks. The cheesy pepperoni bread sticks n that sauce was awesome. Wings were also out of this world ”
“ Amazingly kind staff and the beach pizza we were craving! My 4 and 2 year olds were very excited for pizza. We walked in, placed our order, and were told it would be about 15 minutes. My boys were antsy, and the hostess came over and asked if she could show them how to toss pizza dough. For a mom of preschoolers, that was the kindest thing! They loved the activity and the pizza they got to eat after! Thank you! ”
“ Wow... this place was great. We sat outside. Alexa did a pizza show for us and the kids loved it. The kids got to play with the extra dough while the food was cooking. I brought my dog Luna And they welcomed her with open arms. Alexa was a great waitress and made our dining experience worthwhile and fantastic. I highly recommend. I got the meatball parm and it was so good. ”
