Manco & Manco Among Best Pizzerias In U.S., Report Says

OCEAN CITY, NJ — An article in Food & Wine magazine says New Jersey has the best pizza in the country.

The magazine highlighted 10 of the best spots in the state, with an Ocean City pizzeria making the list.

Manco & Manco was praised in the article as a “boardwalk staple in Ocean City since the 1950s.”

There are three Manco & Manco locations in Ocean City and one restaurant in Somers Point. The restaurant at 9th Street and Boardwalk is open year-round.

Manco & Manco has a tradition of putting on an entertaining show by twirling the pizza dough in the air for customers to see, according to their website.

Food & Wine considered pizza from all across the nation with New Jersey topping the list, saying that the "underrated bounty of the Garden State," from heirloom tomatoes to hazelnuts, is what defines the best pizza in the country.
