“Awesome restaurant. I’m in town for the Elks convention and staying in a hotel right next door. I kept walking by and smelling the food and seeing the meals. Me and my friends stopped by today. I got the sushi which was fabulous. The drinks were awesome also. Great time. I’ll be back!“

“This was my husband and I’s first time here and we can’t say enough about our experience! Welcomed warmly upon our arrival in to a homey friendly environment! The food was amazing!!!! Can’t recommend enough! The arancini, meatballs, Chicken Angelina and Chicken Parmigiana were old school Italian…reminders of my husband’s grandmothers cooking! Our waitress Tricia was lovely and accommodating! Celebrating our anniversary here was a pleasure and we look forward to our next visit! Go see Joey and his staff, you won’t regret it!“

“We love coming here for our weekly night out. Matt (bartender) always knows what we want to drink and is always asking how things are going. It’s our friendly neighborhood place that we need our weekly dose of if not more.“

“Wish I could go back to the days when "Old Man Menz" and his daughter would serve us his fabulous meals and chat with us. What a family! We ate there soooooo many times and my family just loved it. We went there in the early 70's and 80's . What a place......it was a real experience. THANK YOU, MR. MENZ. You were so special!“

“We’ve been waiting a long time to try this “hidden gem” although it’s not so hidden anymore as Philly Inky’s Craig Laban named it one of 20 places for seafood down the Jersey Shore this month. My wife had the famous scallops and thought they were delicious, reminded her of classic, fresh taste of the shore scallops from youth. My burger was good. Fries were tasty. Drinks were proper. Service was attentive. The scallops alone are reason to return.“

“This is a great spot for parents and kids. Parents can enjoy excellent service, great cocktails and decent barfood while knowing the kids are in a relatively safe environment. It beats going to Disneyland with all those weird middle aged forever kids riding scooters around the park.“

“We love Port. Always a great breeze and view at the outdoor bar. Drinks, salads, seafood, oysters, and sushi are just perfect. And, Luke is one of the nicest and friendliest bartenders in the CM area. We will be back.“

“Great Beach Bar Fun Time Recommend“

“Good food and good service and amazing staff“

“If you’re searching for pizza in Stone Harbor, waterfront dining in Stone Harbor, happy hour near The Reeds, outdoor dining, cocktails, or a place to gather with friends and family, The Pizza Pub checks a lot of boxes.

Located directly on Shelter Haven Basin, this is much more than a traditional pizza restaurant. The atmosphere combines waterfront views, outdoor seating, specialty cocktails, craft beer, and a menu built around pizza, shareable plates, and a relaxed Jersey Shore vibe.

One of the highlights of our visit was the cocktail program. We sampled the cocktail flight and had the opportunity to try several of their signature drinks. The Watermelon Mojito was especially refreshing and perfect for a warm summer afternoon overlooking the basin. The drinks were fresh, balanced, and beautifully presented.

Of course, pizza is the star of the show. The specialty pizza we ordered arrived loaded with toppings, baked with a crisp crust, quality ingredients, and plenty of flavor. Every bite tasted fresh, and it’s easy to see why this has become a popular destination for both locals and visitors.

Another feature worth mentioning is The Crew Room, a separate event space upstairs that offers its own unique atmosphere. The nautical décor, dedicated bar, and waterfront-inspired design create a private-club feel that would be perfect for parties, celebrations, private events, and group gatherings.

What really stands out about The Pizza Pub is the overall experience. You’re not simply grabbing a slice of pizza. You’re enjoying waterfront dining in Stone Harbor, watching boats pass through Shelter Haven Basin, enjoying craft cocktails, sharing food with friends, and experiencing one of the most unique casual dining settings at the Jersey Shore.

What it’s known for:

✔️ Pizza in Stone Harbor
✔️ Waterfront dining
✔️ Outdoor patio seating
✔️ Cocktail flights and specialty drinks
✔️ Craft beer selection
✔️ Private events and The Crew Room
✔️ Shelter Haven Basin views
✔️ Family-friendly atmosphere

The Philly Food Fanatic Take: Whether you’re staying at The Reeds, spending the day in Stone Harbor, or simply looking for great pizza, cocktails, and waterfront views, The Pizza Pub delivers a complete Jersey Shore dining experience that goes far beyond pizza alone.

“We stopped by for drinks + apps on a less than bus afternoon in October- the weather was gorgeous so we sat outside. Some of the tables had signs directing you to the bar to order. Some did not. There seemed to be some miscommunication with a staff member and our table as well as a few other tables near us- setting the mood off less than pleasant. We then proceeded to find another staff member and inquire to the procedure of ordering drinks to which *that* staff member was helpful and seemed contradictory to the first one. All of this to suggest to management better training of staff and or more clear / permanent signs indicating the ROEs for the patio. Drinks were good.“
