Restaurants at the New Jersey Shore

Restaurants at the New Jersey Shore
Every summer, vacationers load up their cars with fishing poles, golf clubs and surf boards and head to the Jersey Shore to enjoy the sand, sun and surf. Whether you just want to relax on the beach, spend the day on a boat deep sea fishing, or bird watch at one of the wildlife observation areas, the Jersey Shore has something for everyone, including a variety of restaurants that will satisfy whatever your taste buds are craving.

Mack and Manco Pizza

If you are looking for a slice of pizza, locals of South Jersey will point you in one direction, the Ocean City boardwalk. Mack and Manco's Pizza is not just a pizzeria but an Ocean City tradition. Having three locations along the 3-mile boardwalk, locals and frequent visitors know that they can always count on the great taste of the award-winning thin and crispy pizza. Grab a slice at the outdoor counter after a long day at the beach, or sit inside and watch your pizza pie get made right in front of you before heading to play miniature golf. Prices depend on the style of pizza and amount of toppings requested. As of 2009, the price of a traditional plain pie is $16.00.
