Pizza restaurant · Asbury Park

@eater

"Invented in Trenton around 1910, the tomato pie is a Jersey thing, a fairly conventional round Neapolitan pie with the cheese on the bottom and the plain but profuse tomato sauce (in some cases just canned tomatoes) plopped on top. Maruca’s is a stand on the boardwalk that sports an oven with turntables inside, allowing pizzas to be withdrawn from windows on each side during peak times. The sauce is applied in a spiral, so that each slice is striped with bright red." - Robert Sietsema
