Pasquale&#x27;s Pizzeria

What a legendary spot! After researching this place and while in the area, we knew someone in our…read moreparty had to take on the whole pie/pizza eating challenge. We came, we saw, and my husband conquered :) A few things to note about Pete & Elda's..they don't take reservations. This is an incredibly popular spot, especially in the summer months, so if this is on your Jersey summer list..block out some time for this experience. They do offer to-go if time isn't of the essence, but I do feel like if you have the opportunity to have the full experience, take it. We've never done a food challenge before, but essentially the challenge is for (1) person, 30minute time frame, conquer a full pie, receive a t-shirt and of course, bragging rights. As we were seated, we noticed several other tables had at least one or more people taking the challenge, which was super fun to see and root on. Also in the parking lot there were people taking pictures with the iconic Pete & Elda's sign with their t-shirt and friends. The pizza is like a cracker-thin crust, super yummy and shareable for large groups. We had the cheese, and others at the table ordered sausage/onions, and pepperoni. We also ordered breaded mushrooms (an NJ shore classic) and zucchini sticks for the table, a Caesar salad, and macaroni and cheese for the kiddo. FYI, the macaroni and cheese was pretty fire! I've been eating a lot of kiddo meal leftovers on this trip, and this was a standout. I love the bar atmosphere of this place too, and learned you can actually also order "bar pies" at the (bar only). Great beer selection! There are other food classics on the menu as well if pizza isn't your thing like chicken parm, stuffed shells, veal, seafood, chowder soup(s), burgers, cheesesteaks, and more. All in all, my husband got the t-shirt, finished the challenge in 19 minutes, took the picture, and we all have fun memories of this day. This seems like a spot that holds a lot of memories for families coming to the Shore, and spending summers eating pie and enjoying tradition and celebration. Can't wait to do the same next summer :)

We came in a busy Saturday night this time so did have to wait, but the hostess was spot on with the quoted wait time. This time my husband tackled (and suceeded) the pie challenge by eating a full XXL pizza himself on just 30-minutes! Wow! Meanwhile my dad and I split and XL Special Pie with peppers and mushrooms.

To the person who mentioned Portnoy in their review...tsk tsk. If you prefer crispy crust, don't give a bad review to a New Jersey pizza place that makes New Jersey style pizza. Portnoy is from Boston. Boston is not famous for its pizza. New Jersey and New York are. The slice should be foldable and, hence, has to have a floppy crust. We are in New Jersey after all. I bet you would love the pizza in California. read more
