Everything was really good and the staff is super sweet. The girl answering phones has a lot of patience and I really appreciate that :) I’m just super disappointed in the mozzarella sticks. They tasted really strange and I have a hard time believing anyone would love them.. never thought you could skrew up mozz stix :(

There are moments in a man’s life when he feels compelled to flee to the sea. Not for recreation, no, nothing so cheerful, but for clarity, solitude, and the dramatic optics of staring pensively at waves. Thus I found myself spending a weekend at the beach in November, which, to be clear, is not something any doctor would recommend.
But newly single and eager to forget both my New Jersey girlfriend and my first disastrous pizza encounter in this Country, I checked into a chilly oceanfront motel and resolved to “heal,” which in my case meant sitting on the sand in a coat that was not designed for wind speeds usually reserved for nautical emergencies.
It was in this fragile state that I sought refuge at Federici’s on 10th. I entered expecting warmth, sustenance, and perhaps a reprieve from the relentless Atlantic gale that had taken to slapping me across the face hourly. What I received was something far greater. This pizza… this pizza was therapy. The sauce was sublime, bright, layered, and self-assured. It was the kind of sauce that knows exactly who it is and refuses to settle. It tasted like tomatoes that had developed character through adversity. I respected it deeply.
But it was the thin, crispy crust that delivered the true revelation. Crisp without brittleness, sturdy without arrogance…each bite shattered with an elegant crackle, as if the crust itself had been forged in the fires of self-improvement. I could only admire its integrity, especially given my own lack thereof.
As I ate, I realized I was experiencing something rare: a moment of genuine contentment. Outside, Belmar gusted and grumbled, reminding me loudly and often that it was November and I had made questionable life choices. But inside, slice after slice, I felt myself recalibrating. This pizza was everything my former companion was not: steady, balanced, and crisp in all the right ways.

I had a meatball parmigiana sandwich and it was sub par and bland. Service and atmosphere were good.

I've been here several times but i can't lie, I feel like this place is going down hill. The waitress was a bit rude and we all felt like we were being rushed. Even the manager made comments to us as if we were overstaying our welcome. It wasn't even that crowded. Anyway, the food is good, the menu is a bit limited and the prices are average for a jersey shore town. But, if I can't sit and enjoy my meal and having a conversation with friends I'll just find somewhere else that's more accommodating. Adios

seems to think they’re above the law & not pay people the hours they worked. 0/10 would recommend

To be honest the owner is very rude and I’ve had a terrible experience here. I’ve heard a lot of shady stuff that’s been going on.
