Pete & Elda's Bar / Carmen's Pizzeria

Excellent Pizza. This is the best bar tavern pizza you can find down the shore! Staff is friendly and this place is always packed! For good reason! There is also a take window if you are in a hurry.

A must when in Monmouth County. Thin, pastry like crust that has the perfect crisp, antipasta chopped or not, New England clam chowder to rival Boston. It is always busy and filled with both regulars and Bennies, anyone who manages to find this hidden gem along the Route 35 bridge by Belmar, will keep coming back. If you're bold, take their t-shirt challenge and eat an XL Pie to go home with pride.

Always a crowd, but they always manage to seat our large party relatively quickly. And the pizza, well, do I need to say anything? It's perfect.

I stopped in with a friend on a very busy night, we were seated right away and the staff were friendly. My friend had a pizza half pepperoni, I had the New York strip, rare. The steak was excellent as well as the broccoli. The pizza was great, crispy and delicious. I had 2 cocktails that were tasty and strong. 10/10

I haven’t had their thin crust pizza. I ordered two pies and paid extra for thicker crust. Big mistake. Toppings was good but the crust was basically two crusts put together. It was more bread than the actual sauce and toppings. Don’t bother praying extra for thicker crust. Unless you like flat bread with a little bit of sauce and toppings

Love the pizza here. Thin crust with great flavor. Maybe a little pricey for the amount of food (like I said... thin crust), but well worth it once in a while. The bar area is a little tight.
