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.
July 2025
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.

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
