"It’s been no secret that for a better part of a decade, Rosie’s in Pt. Pleasant made the best pizza on the Shore. This year, there’s some healthy competition after one of its co-founders opened his own location called Pizzeria ’Lucci. As Belmar’s newest pizza operation, they keep it pretty simple, with a menu featuring outstanding pies, a single vinegary, crunchy salad, near-perfect meatballs, and housemade bread. The pizzas are the star of their show, with a thin fermented crust that’s purposefully cooked well-done to ensure maximum levels of crispy. We’d recommend the pepperoni with red onion or the white “Lucci Spinach,” or make your own combo—we often order a pie with sausage and housemade pickled chilis." - Michael Sinatra
