WOW - what a great surprise, this was!!…read more I have been coming to Atlantic City (with my Boomer Dad) for about 15 years now. 4 times a year, again and again. Mostly we eat in the hotel sadness (the horrible restaurant choices that are inside most of the hotels now). I had come to accept that most of the food out on the Boardwalk was equivalent to 'Carnival Food'. That's not necessarily a bad thing - just a thing thing. Since the pandemic, the food options get slimmer and slimmer. There was a new pizza place that had just opened up in Ballys, where we were staying - where the old Guy F shack used to be. And, I was excited to try it today. Except . . . like most of the other miserable options inside the hotel . . it is CLOSED Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. My father suggested Johnny Rockets (Always a winner - delivering on consistency over the years) - but we eat that every time we come here, and my nephew and I really had our hearts set on some good pizza. I googled in search of the Best Pizza on the Boardwalk. I know there are some highly recommended places just off the Boardwalk, but I don't know this area and I prefer to stay on the main drag. That said, AI suggested Forno. Mentions of fermented dough, and fresh ingredients. Highly recommended was the quality cupped pepperoni and the stracciatella cheese. I decided to take the gamble, since I was in Atlantic City. Was about a 10 min walk from Ballys. . towards Tropicana. Don't be fooled the many imposters in the way. Make sure the sign says Forno. The cashier was great. Super friendly and well informed. She spoke with pride about the pizza, which is a super good sign. She recommended one of their specialty pizzas ( I forget the name). It had pepperoni, tomatoes hot honey and stracciatella cheese with hot honey drizzled. Pizza was made fresh and fast. About 12 minutes. I needed the slices split in two boxes, and she was more than happy to accommodate. And let me say . . . Those Pizza Boxes are the most amazing Pizza Boxes I have ever seen in my life. Very high quality boxes, for a pizza. I was a little concerned that they might be so focused on these great boxes, that I would be let down on the quality of the pizza. I WAS NOT LET DOWN. That was an absolutely amazing pizza. The crust was this some kind of crunch-chewy you might expect from a real French baguette. OR a NYC Bagel kinda chew. And with the fire grilling, the burnt areas of the crust were TO DIE FOR. Was a bit worried about the hot honey part. I don't mind a sweet item (thinking pineapple) on a pie once in a great while . . .but was not craving that tonight. Not to worry - they nailed it! They have the hot honey drizzle down to a perfect science to balance the pizza out. I will be back, every time we come here. And next time, I want to try the homemade fried mozzarella! Whole Square Pizza cost us about $40. Worth every penny out on the Boardwalk. PS - really wish I took a photo of this pizza. It was amazing. It looked so delicious and we were so hungry it was gone in minutes. We are tired of the options in the hotels. The pizza place in Ballys (next to the sub place) SUCKS. It's like frozen Ellio's or worse. We get the rent is high on the boardwalk - but at least deliver on quality!! Forno's Delivers!!

It's on the boardwalk so they did a great job luring us in with peanut butter gelato samples. The girls manning the counters did a great job accommodating all the customers lining up, because it was starting to get packed!

I would totally come back again since it was a nice stop along the boardwalk with refreshing gelato!

After reading race reviews we stopped into Juli's Pink Ice Cream for a treat…read more They have soft serve ice cream, hand dipped ice cream, ice cream novelties, and traditional ice cream treats - banana splits and sundaes. Their hand dipped is Hood or Kemps brand ice cream depending on the flavor. My husband had a hot fudge sundae with banana ice cream. I had the strawberry shortcake sundae. He appreciated that his sundae came in a large square container. Much easier than a cup. The pound cake in my strawberry shortcake was extremely fresh! I'd like to try one of her ice cream cakes. Supposedly they are the best! Parking is a bit tricky in Atlantic City. Be prepared to walk or drive around while someone else goes into the store.

By the time I tossed the cup, my lips were red, but my belly was happy. If you're on the boardwalk, stop by Rita's for some frozen goodness!

Well, all I had to say was, "My daughter has an egg allergy... she won't die, but she'll get sick…read more Is your allergen menu online accurate?" A man named George behind the counter said no. When I asked him if there's a way to check if there's egg in the ice cream, he said no. I said well IS there egg in the ice cream? (Which isn't all that common, but ice cream with cookies or ones made from custard sometimes have egg, but the vast majority of Ice Cream does not. Just for reference. We just wanted to be safe..) He shut us down. Wasn't willing to check. We ended up walking away with a crying 10-year-old. It's not easy having an allergy when you're a kid. There was absolutely no line behind us. He made zero effort to help us. I just wish people would be a lil nicer and help out a little more. Turns out, we went to Wahlburgers to get shakes to go, and they were so sweet and accommodating. Go there if you have any allergy questions... and skip Scoops!

I was starving and I ate a lot, but still had to take half of my food home. I have now found my favorite Colombian food and the Atlantic City area. Definitely a must do if you were in the area.
