"We can only tell you two certainties about the Jersey Shore: If the winds are blowing from the west, the greenhead flies will make a sunny day feel like the bowels of hell. And if you pull up to Rosie’s after 8pm, they’re either going to be out of pizza or closed for the night. This place makes some of New Jersey’s best pizza south of the Driscoll Bridge, and we especially like the round pie with pepperoni and the square pie with spinach. Their ovens seemingly work on military time—there’s an efficient takeout system, where you’ll likely be given an exact pick-up time that can feel akin to a Seinfeld-ian soup order. The Rosie’s menu won’t overwhelm you with options, since they only offer meatballs and a single salad in addition to their pizza. For the full experience, get both. One of their co-founders recently opened ‘Lucci in Belmar, a spot further north, which is a great option for anyone who’s been known to travel 30+ minutes for a Rosie’s pie. But rest assured, Rosie’s remains the best pizza in Ocean County and should not be missed on any weekend at the beach." - Michael Sinatra
