SEASIDE HEIGHTS, NJ – Usually, boardwalk pizza is nothing to write home about, but three pizza joints on the Seaside Heights and Seaside Park boardwalk have garnered the attention of visitors and locals alike.

Choosing the best pizza on the Seaside Heights boardwalk is like trying to pick your favorite child—impossible, but let’s be honest, you still have a favorite. Here’s the ultimate rundown of the top contenders that’ll have you questioning whether you should just spend your entire beach day pizza-hopping (spoiler: you should).

Maruca’s Tomato Pies

The OG, the icon, the swirl superstar.

Maruca’s is practically synonymous with the Seaside boardwalk. Known for their signature tomato swirl on top of the cheese, they’ve been slinging pies since 1950, perfecting that thin, crispy crust that can handle the weight of their generous toppings. It’s pizza with history, flavor, and a whole lot of love. Plus, their massive slices are the stuff of legend. If you’re only going to grab one slice on the boardwalk, make it this one.

The slice that might as well be a mattress.

If size matters (and let’s be real, it does), The Sawmill’s got you covered. Their slices are so big, they’re practically a meal for two. But it’s not just about the size—this pizza is seriously delicious. Their thick, doughy crust is like a soft, chewy cloud that holds up to a mountain of toppings. Perfect for those days when you’ve spent too much time in the sun and need something substantial to refuel.

Shore Slice

The underdog that packs a flavorful punch.

Shore Slice might not have the decades-old history of Maruca’s, but what it lacks in age, it makes up for in flavor. Known for their innovative toppings and fresh ingredients, Shore Slice is the spot for foodies who want more than just the classic cheese and pepperoni. Think buffalo chicken, BBQ, and even some unexpected twists that keep the locals coming back for more. If you’re feeling adventurous, this is your go-to.

The family tradition you didn’t know you needed.

With roots that trace back to Italy, Three Brothers From Italy serves up pizza with that authentic, old-world flair. Their slices are big, flavorful, and always satisfying. The dough is hand-tossed, the sauce is just right, and the cheese…oh, the cheese. It’s the perfect blend of gooey and stretchy, just how you want it. Plus, the vibe here feels like a slice of Italy right on the Jersey Shore.
