A BBQ pizza joint? We had to check it out. We ordered take out and it was ready when they said it would be. We got a pizza and some BBQ. Pizza was just OK. Sauce was not very flavorful and crust was little too thick for my liking. We also order a BBQ pulled pork platter. The pork was tender and had some flavor but not covered in sauce. The baked beans were dry - like they had sat out all day. The creamed corn was also dry and tasted canned. The corn bread was tender and had a flavor of jalapeños (maybe) but wasn't spicy. We ordered late afternoon during the week so maybe things would be better/fresher tasting during a peak time. read more

My family and I visit Cape May, NJ annually and always want to try a new place. Looked online for anything local and found a bbq spot which we were very excited for. All I can say is we were extremely disappointed with the outcome. The photos from online are clearly not the same as what you would get. read more

Place is ok not bad bbq. Was not impressed with the Pizza. The place is ok and would recommend for some things

Wow! Got a couple of pork sandwiches for lunch. Delicious and very reasonable. Lots of pork. The Carolina had just the right amount of heat and taste. Pork was moist and tender. Had the Italian too. Nicely done with sautéed spinach and garlic. Since Voltacos closed I've been looking for a new roast pork sandwich spot. I found it at Pappys! Looking forward to trying their ribs and other sandwiches. read more

Pappys Pizza & BBQ - Italian pork sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - North Cape May, New Jersey

My family had a celebration of life. We decided to serve barbeque . We chose Pappy's based on reviews. They were correct. I spoke with Amanda who went above & beyond to help. She was in constant contact and very helpful. When Amanda wasn't available Matt was extremely helpful and also went beyond to be helpful. We ordered sandwich trays, pulled pork and pulled chicken. The pulled pork and pulled chicken were delicious. The meat was lean and pulled nicely. All the sauces were tasty and served on the side. The sandwich tray was beautifully displayed. The meat portions were generous, the fixings on top were fresh and the bread was good. If you want to eat in, take out or have catered I would highly recommend Pappy's. The food is delicious. They are a hidden gem. read more

Margherita pizza is delicious!Love their sauce very fresh and sweet doesn't taste like it came from a jar. Homemade. Ordered the cheesesteak Stromboli lots of cheese and fresh meat. Sauce on the side. Friendliest staff. read more

We discovered Pappy's the last time we visited Ocean City. Since then, it has became a must stop for us whenever we are close to the area. The pizza itself is your typical Jersey pizza, but the combination of cheese, bbq sauce and the juicy succulent pork makes it almost an out of body experience. The ribs are fall off the bone tender with great char with a tangy bbq sauce. Don't be afraid to stop by when you're in the area! read more

Highly recommend. Warm people. Amazing BBQ and surprisingly great pizza. They even have us some extra special ribs and corn bread to try. For BBQ fans, the ribs are a must. My 6 year old loved the pizza and my wife loved it all. And the vibes are old school in all the right ways. read more

Our friends wanted to do a pig roast for Memorial Day, but thankfully they decided to just go with BBQ catering. I'm not a vegetarian but there would be no way I could eat seeing a pig roast all day. The food was very good, there were spare ribs, wings, pulled pork, baked beans, cole slaw, potato salad & pasta salad & fresh rolls & corn bread. I absolutely loved the sides & the baked beans were cooked with brown sugar just sweet enough the way I like it. The pulled pork was cooked perfectly, not too dry not too moist, the same with the ribs, however I thought it was odd that they didn't give you any BBQ sauce on the side of you wanted to add more. ( I always add more ) I'm not sure if that was an option to add to the catering but it wasn't my order/BBQ because I definitely would have wanted that sauce for my sandwich and ribs. I'm guessing it's less messy with less sauce and easier to travel with. Maybe next time I'll eat there and see what else they offer. read more

Our new go to take out spot. The BBQ is awesome. Best ribs around! Wings are great as well!

Came in for a quick bite and this place is pretty solid. Ordered the Italian pork sandwich and the loaded fries and the food was delicious! The staff is friendly and nice. read more

Pappys Pizza & BBQ - Italian Pork Sandwich (or what's left of it) and loaded fries - Barbeque Near Me - North Cape May, New Jersey

I am only basing this review on their cheesesteak and fries, which I've had twice (not my choice). Their cheesesteaks are ok; however, I requested and paid for "extra cheese" both times. Both times cheese wasn't even visible on the CHEESEsteak. Also, the fries are horrible, overcooked and still soggy. The amount of meat is pretty good. I'm a Voltacco's cheesesteak guy, by far, but if you want cheesesteak in the off-season, go with Randazzo's. Very similar, but they actually give you a good amount of cheese. Pappy's is also way overpriced for what you get. read more

Never and I repeat never seen anyone at this place and I lived here my entire life life! Food is crappy and I'm convinced that it's gotta be a front for something else read more

Spur of the moment dinner for the family, got the Buffalo chicken sandwich and pulled pork sandwich along with chicken fingers and fries for the kids. Can't decide which sandwich was better because they were both delicious. The prices have gone up recently, as well as the extra tax for using a card all the businesses have started doing. Besides that the food was amazing. I have no complaints about the food what so ever. I recommend for dinner or lunch. Job well done. read more

I've been curious about this place for years so a group of us finally checked it out. Great food, good service, and clean place! We ordered a few BBQ platters, the fried Mac and cheese bites, fries, and a buffalo chicken pizza. They were all amazing. Will definitely be back. read more

Stellar! On a whim, we pulled off the highway and stopped here- it was well worth it. It's a small hole in the wall type of place with a no frills, nothing fancy type of atmosphere and the food was FANTASTIC! My husband had the pulled pork- he is from the Carolina's and quite the BBQ expert- he said his sandwich was the stuff that BBQ dreams are made of. I would agree re the turkey hoagie I had- I have been searching for this exact kind of amazing hoagie for 32 years- the roll really makes it- the paper thin onions, lettuce and tomato just elevate it all to another level. Our four year old son had his "sauce pizza" custom made The crust was paper thin and super delish crispy and the red sauce reminded me of my summer in Florence- we were all thrilled- go here- you won't be disappointed!! read more

First, The pizza I ordered had holes in it. It was a tasteless white pizza with spinach and tomato. I thought it would be fresh spinach but it wasn't. You guys could have done better. I simply can't spend $40 for a couple of tasteless, boring pizzas. I'm done. read more

Pappys Pizza & BBQ - Why would they send a pizza with holes in it ??? - Barbeque Near Me - North Cape May, New Jersey

The food was horrible first of all they give you way too much food for it to be so nasty and the food they give you is supposed to be grilled ribs they boil them they sit them on the grill to put a sealer on them and that is it and you could taste that it was boiled and the barbecue sauce nothing but ketchup with sugar and the potato salad the potatoes were hard no flavor the bake beans taste and look like it came right out of a can. I never been more disappointed than I am in this place and I will never return I spent $25 for a bunch of nasty food read more

Pappys Pizza & BBQ - a truck parked in front of a pink building - Barbeque Near Me - North Cape May, New Jersey

There is a real reason why you have Kirks Pizza always busy and Yesterday's just as busy and here is Crappys in the middle of both and they are always empty. Furthermore if If there is either a person named Amanda or Harley there avoid at all costs as they will only ruin your food and like others have warned in other reviews may steal your credit card information or over charge you and they pocket the money. I can't believe that they are still open and when is the owner going to wake up and care about his business and not hire people like this. read more

Food was horrible we ordered an 8 piece chicken platter when we got home the pieces consisted of mostly wings with 3 very overcooked thighs.Everything was so overcooked that I was afraid I would break a tooth! The fries were greasy and hard. A customer entered after us ordered and he got his order as we sat another ten minutes, no they weren't busy and the phone only rang once after we were picking up our order. Only saving grace the counter staff was courteous but not worth the price for bad food. Save the money get KFC read more

Picked up sandwiches - very yummy. The 9th Street pulled pork samich was awesome - included a side of the famous spicy bbq sauce - unreal how great it is. read more

Huge ripoff. Ghosted me on Door Dash order. Left delivery person empty handed and refused to refund order. Avoid at all costs.

All of the reviews on here are very old. This place wasn't a typical BBQ joint where it looks and smells like BBQ with the charcoal flair. Where were the pigs? For a pig roast, there wasn't a pig in sight or smell. It didn't seem like a restaurant where people would eat. It was empty. We never eat in restaurants that are empty. To be fair, we didn't have the food. We didn't make it that far. Empty restaurants are creepy. Especially when others were crowded with diners. read more

The pulled pork sandwich is incredible here. My daughter and I often get the buffalo wings too, they're always tasty too. The recent renovations helped the atmosphere as well. Always great supporting local businesses and this group is always pleasant to be around. Thanks for the great food and service! read more

Don't listen to weird reviews where people don't even eat the food and base the entire thing on the fact there was no charcoal smell. This place is solid. It's a bbq joint first and foremost, in my opinion, but they do have pizza, sandwiches and burgers, as well. The food was actually really good. I will admit, a side of the road spot that has an empty dining room may be off putting, but ya gotta give it a chance. And I'm glad I did. Came here with a party of 6, 4 adults and 2 toddlers. The staff was quick and accommodating making sure we had the high chairs for the kids. Immediately, we had our drinks and our order taken. Like I said, bbq is the claim to fame and that's the route we (mostly) took. I got the Jersey pulled pork sandwich which was awesome. It was your typical pulled pork with a spicy bbq sauce topped with sweet, crunchy coleslaw. And the sandwich was huge for the $8.00 price. The ribs were fall of the bone and meaty. Exactly what you want in a rib and came with a sweet bbq sauce. Although you get the option to go dry. According to my family, the buffalo chicken sandwich was good and very saucey and the bacon chicken ranch had a good amount of bacon that looked freshly cooked. The only thing I'd have negative to say is that the sandwiches don't come with fries. But their side of fries is big enough to share between two people so ‍ Also, I'm a bit of a ketchup snob and this definitely isn't Heinz lol. But those minor negatives don't outweigh the fact you get a decent meal for fairly cheap and you'll definitely leave full. read more

Food prices very expensive. Quality for the price is not warranted. Disappointed. I ordered the 1/2 rack spare ribs. The barbecue sauce tasted more like pizza sauce. Cost was around $14.00, very disappointed. A few days later went to shoprite got their to go 1/2 rack ribs for 1/2 the cost and liked them better and the savings. Maybe this is not there normal but I won't try them again just to expensive for my blood. read more

Never had a bad meal. Friendly staff and amazing food. Seriously in my opinion the best ribs in South Jersey. Meaty and tender. Better than Famous Dave's, better than Brother Bear. Pizza is pretty amazing too. If you're in the Ocean City or Marmora area and craving some amazing BBQ hit this place up! read more

I have gotten a roast whole pig two years in a row from Pappy's, for a family reunion both times. My cousins are all Texans and loved the pig, I am a trained chef and I loved the pig as well as the other 40 people who ate from it both times. If you want to have a great party when your down the shore, order a whole roast pig from Pappy's, you wont be dissapointed :) read more

I would say that this place was not bad. Wasn't great but not bad either. Kate said she would go again. The prices are fair and the pulled pork sandwiches are massive. We both had the Jersey pork sandwich. It comes with a southern sauce and slaw. The slaw was good and crunchy and added to the sandwich. We also got some sides. We had their Sweet Mashed potatoes and they were ok but nothing special. The potato salad and baked beans were pretty good but once again nothing to special. The prices are fair especially for the amount of food you get. Next time I wouldn't mind trying their Ribs. read more

Our group has made it a tradition to come here. The food has been excellent every time. Atmosphere is nothing special. Service was great. The waitress was very friendly. The rolls for the sandwiches and hoagies were really good. When it comes down to it, the roll is what makes a good sandwich. Pulled pork was awesome! Cheesesteaks were awesome! We love this place! read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in this place on our way back to Maryland, and not being from the area, had no idea that it sucked. Not only did the pizza which I ordered make me sick for more than 10 hours afterwards, the old woman who works there is not a friendly person. In fact, this woman was very hateful towards me. I walked in before my boyfriend and approached the counter, and the old woman turned around because she heard the door. She glanced my direction, turned her head, and kept doing what she was doing as though I were not even standing there. No, hello-- nothing. Then, my boyfriend walks in and she gives him an immediate hello and can I help you type of greeting. Since we were starved and could not find anywhere else to look (after driving around) and had to catch a ferry, we ate at this nasty slop house and put up with the hate stares which the old woman gave me the entire time. Talk about dining with the devil and truly tasteless "food". It is obvious that CERTAIN people are NOT welcome in this place, so if you look like me, stay away and spend your money where you're treated like a human being. read more

Pappy's -- AKA Crappy's. At work, our boss would buy us all pizza from Pappy's and none of the employees would even eat it because they would get sick for hours afterwards. When boys turn down free pizza, you know it has to be bad! read more

I LOVE buffalo wings. I have my favorite wing places, but I'm always open to new wing experiences. My parents love Pappy's for wings. I took them to the C-View in Cape May for my favorite wings, and they said Pappy's were almost as good so I figured I'd give it a try. I was so disappointed. It was a Saturday night so I figured it'd be a good night to get wings, but they were undercooked and undersauced and very underyummy. I'm 0 for 3 with the new places I've tried recently. I'm willing to give these guys another shot though in a month or two. I'll let you know how it goes. read more

Eeeeeew...i was exicited to finally have bbq after spending awhile in the area without having anything close to good bbq..upon entering the restaurant i immediately got nervous because it was empty at 12:00 on Saturday..prime time for lunch..we ordered the garlic knots that were god awful being both cold and flavor less..next was the spicy pulled pork sandwich, honestly it tasted like microwaved lloyd's. There weee four of us and nobody could finish there meal....stay away!!!!!! Frankly one star is too many!!!! read more

Went back to Pappy's and again had a great meal. My wife and I both enjoyed the ribs. The neat was so tender it was falling off the bone. The taste was incredible. The owner is still on site and cooks all of the food to order. If you love BBQ then goto Pappy's. read more

You don't go to a BBQ joint for pizza! Pappy's pizza is just average, if you want pizza in Ocean City go to Mack Mancos, but if you want really excellent BBQ Pappy's is the place to go! We look forward to eating there every year when we go down on vacation. Ribs,, pulled pork every thing we've had there has been good. Not fancy by any means, the atmosphere is very much a take out place, but the BBQ is awesome. read more

We ordered a sicilian pie with bacon on it. It was on the flat side and it seemed like they used one slice of bacon and scattered it over the pie. Other than that they are really friendly there and there service was good. read more
