Naples Pizzeria
A family-run pizzeria, Naples is a staple in West Tuckerton. The restaurant is cozy and kid-friendly, and while the menu features Italian classics like chicken parmigiana and tortellini, pizza is Naples' specialty, and it takes it very seriously. You can choose authentic Roman thin crust or opt for a thicker, doughier slice, in varieties ranging from traditional pepperoni to "baked ziti." Hot and cold subs are also available for those looking for something a little lighter.

Jersey Mike's Subs
Included in the Travel Channel's "Sandwich Paradise," Jersey Mike's has been part of the state culture since 1956. Now with more than 350 locations, this old-fashioned sub shop aims to please with freshly baked bread and Angus beef cooked and cut right in each restaurant. The seating is sparse and utilitarian, but you'll hardly notice once you take a bite into an enormous meatball and cheese sub.
