Just wish the plate was bigger. + Large Plain Pizza - Vic's classic 14" thin crust pie - Very thin and very good. Like the restaurant, it was a no frills cheese pizza that was light. For a large pizza, 14" is kind of small and we would have liked if it was more of a standard size large pie at 18". THE SERVICE ------------------- + Waitress was friendly and all of our food arrived very fast after ordering. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Old school interior. No fanciness here. Just a whole lot of wood walls and panels with a bar in the back. + Private parking lot in the back has a lot of spaces. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Arrived at around 1:30 on an August Saturday afternoon and it was busy inside, but not overwhelmingly so. We were seated right away and there were plenty of open tables and booths to spare. = They sell merch, specifically restaurant-branded T-shirts at $20 a pop (as of August 2026).

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 :)

When we're not interested in cooking dinner and don't feel like dining out, this is where we'll order to pick up from. Also great meatball parm and chicken parm subs!

Usually the service is excellent and the pizzas and appetizers are also very good.

When the pizza came out, it was crispy and good--but it wasn't a Margherita. There were no sliced tomatoes nor slices of fresh mozzarella. It was what a plain pizza would be, except it did have whole basil leaves. Also there used to be a choice of large or small chopped salad. This time it was only one size and the waiter never heard it being two different size portions. Maybe it was an off night for both the wait staff and the kitchen crew, as we will go back again maybe closer to summer.
