What a legendary spot! After researching this place and while in the area, we knew someone in our…read moreparty had to take on the whole pie/pizza eating challenge. We came, we saw, and my husband conquered :) A few things to note about Pete & Elda's..they don't take reservations. This is an incredibly popular spot, especially in the summer months, so if this is on your Jersey summer list..block out some time for this experience. They do offer to-go if time isn't of the essence, but I do feel like if you have the opportunity to have the full experience, take it. We've never done a food challenge before, but essentially the challenge is for (1) person, 30minute time frame, conquer a full pie, receive a t-shirt and of course, bragging rights. As we were seated, we noticed several other tables had at least one or more people taking the challenge, which was super fun to see and root on. Also in the parking lot there were people taking pictures with the iconic Pete & Elda's sign with their t-shirt and friends. The pizza is like a cracker-thin crust, super yummy and shareable for large groups. We had the cheese, and others at the table ordered sausage/onions, and pepperoni. We also ordered breaded mushrooms (an NJ shore classic) and zucchini sticks for the table, a Caesar salad, and macaroni and cheese for the kiddo. FYI, the macaroni and cheese was pretty fire! I've been eating a lot of kiddo meal leftovers on this trip, and this was a standout. I love the bar atmosphere of this place too, and learned you can actually also order "bar pies" at the (bar only). Great beer selection! There are other food classics on the menu as well if pizza isn't your thing like chicken parm, stuffed shells, veal, seafood, chowder soup(s), burgers, cheesesteaks, and more. All in all, my husband got the t-shirt, finished the challenge in 19 minutes, took the picture, and we all have fun memories of this day. This seems like a spot that holds a lot of memories for families coming to the Shore, and spending summers eating pie and enjoying tradition and celebration. Can't wait to do the same next summer :)

A real side bargain if you ask me. For my dinner I had the Seafood linguini. This was a plate of linguini with a pile of seafood on top. Fish, clams, mussels, shrimp and calamari in a spicy marinara sauce. The sauce was a bit thinner and saltier then typical but that's from what came out of all the sea food. And while they said it was spicy this was nothing to worry about as I didn't find it to the point where my wife wouldn't eat it. Service from Barbara was right on point as she had all the answers on menu questions and drinks were refilled in a timely manner. It was also wonderful that we got there before 5:00 pm and had a table in minutes unlike showing up at the same time in the summer. This is a very laid back restaurant with seating for couples, families and mega-families. Tonight we had a seat across from the bar and was forced to watch some football. Love this for a great Italian meal and you will never be disappointed once you suffer from a wait that might be longer then you had hoped!

My story - My fiance' and I were in the area for a saltwater fishing trip. We settled into our hotel and needed dinner. We decided on Tramonto's . We had never had their food before but the website looked good and the menu as well.. So we ordered and we used a third party delivery service, not affiliated with these guys, as I found out later. I received a text from the third party delivery person, around the promised time of delivery. The text simply said, " I am here "., but they weren't. I checked the hotel lobby, they weren't there either. I texted the delivery person and said, " Where are you"?. No response.....several more texts....no response. I called the number, which came up as an Alabama number and no one answered. I realized I had been dubbed and my food and generous tip were gone. I was pissed. I called Tramonto's to ask about my order. A lovely woman named, LeeAnna (sp?) answered the phone. I explained my situation to her and she was apologetic as well as sympathetic. She explained to me that the delivery service is a third party and they have no oversite over the food after it leaves their restaurant. She immediately said that she wanted to make it right and 'get us fed"....lol. She called the third party to sort it out while I listened in and the third party had nothing to offer. LeeAnna then offered to remake our order of two pizzas with several toppings,at a discount and get us a total refund (food+fees+ a generous tip) from the awful delivery service. All of this and they were closing in 20 minutes. I arrived 2 minutes before closing and my food was ready and hot. The owner Teddy, LeeAnna's husband shook my hand and apologized several times. Even the staff offered me apologies. They even threw in a brownie and and order of pepperoni garlic knots. So I am not just saying this because they went above and beyond, but because it's true. The pizza was amazing. It was everything I look for in a pizza and believe me, I know my way around some pizzas. The dough was flavorful and cooked perfectly, not soft or too crunchy....perfect. The sauce was bright and the cheese was delicious and the toppings were generous and fresh. And if you do stop in...get....yourself...a....brownie! OMG was that brownie good. They took a very negative situation and made it positive. They made me feel better to know that there are still people in the world that are good and that care. Not only is the food amazing here, the people ten times as amazing . If you are in the Neptune area, you should patronize this business. You will not be disappointed in any way. And....you can call them directly for delivery. Do not use a third party!!!! Thank you, LeeAnna, Teddy, and staff. There aren't many like you. I will see you the next time I'm in town.

One of the Best Pizzas on the Jersey Shore can be found at John's Cracker Barrel in Shark River Hills. I am a lifelong Jersey Girl and "pizza snob" and was thoroughly impressed with their pizza. I am the niece of the famous football legend, Vince Lombardi and his parents, my grandparents were butchers in Brooklyn and later moved to New Jersey. They were always focused on good Italian food and especially good pizza. John's Cracker Barrel is featured as a Deli, Pizzeria and Grill nested along the Shark River with views of the river and the surrounding salt marsh. You can eat either inside or outside and enjoy this special community and its maritime surroundings complete with Snowy Egrets and the Great Blue Herons. I was visiting in late August to celebrate my birthday and I fell in love with the Cracker Barrel pizza especially prepared with onions and pepperoni. I really enjoy the new extra-large slices. I also loved and the submarine sandwiches that we took out in a boat from the marina down the street and ate it for lunch anchored on the Shark River. John's Cracker Barrel which has been in Shark River Hills since the 1920s and is a very special "Somewhere in Time" community treasure. I admit that I am one tough little Italian to please, but I give John's Cracker Barrel my highest recommendation! Try it out, you will love it! read more

Ordered a pork roll egg and cheese on two occasions,sandwich was decent but only two razor thin slices of porkroll,bread was very good though.Price was too high as it isn't a filling breakfast.$5.00 really? The last time I was there I ordered a cheesesteak and French fries .with a Snapple to go. $12.00 plus $1dollar tip.Waited 20 minutes for meal even though there was only 2 customers there.Drove home 15 minute drive,Cheesesteak had one slice of provolone cheese on top,steak was oily greasy with barely any onions,French fries were soggy like nuked in microwave,burnt mouth even after 15 minute drive,kid gives you food to go with no bag and forgets to ask cook to put salt pepper and ketchup on food 10 seconds after putting in order,expects you to take generic brand ketchup packs. Must be new owners as the owners in the 90s had us as kids riding our bikes several miles to enjoy a good meal,now my only recommendation would be locals with no car,boat owners that come back to shore starving or dehydrated,or a place to take someone you don't like very much.Greedy owners,or sky high overhead might very well have compromised this business,but to offer Piss poor quality of food and service that rivals the shittiest of ghettos is inexcusable read more

RESTORING THE CRACKER BARREL TO ITS FORMER GLORY. I am a life long resident of Shark River Hills (34 years) and the Cracker Barrel is the corner stone of the community. It was where I had my first job and it's where I take my 2 year old daughter for a pizza. The Cracker Barrel was a spot, as kids, that we could ride our bikes to grab some snacks, hang out then continue cruising the neighborhood. With a number of different owners that feeling was beginning to diminish but I am happy to say that the new ownership gets it. Pierre & Carrie are a local Family that lives in SRH and have 2 daughters one of which is my daughter's age. They have returned the Cracker Barrel to its former glory and it is once again a spot that I enjoy walking or riding over to for a bite to eat. I am Excited for my daughter and her friends to be able to make their own SRH memories as they grow up! Oh and the food is bangin too! read more

I loved this place growing up when it was Thomas' Cracker Barrel," but since new owners took it over a few years ago, the place is horrible. The service is ridiculously slow, the prices have soared, and the owners themselves are nasty individuals. The kid that has been working behind the counter for years is great, but the rest of the place has turned into a "brooklyn-style" dive bodega. I will never stop in there again and neither will my family members or neighbors. We would rather go to Hometown Market, coincidentally, I am not a fan of either, but they are head over heals better. read more

This eatery takes the stage in Poet's Square off the appropriately named Thoreau Road in Freehold…read moreTownship. Brand: 5/5 Pies in Poet's is an Italian eatery in Poet's Square, which is a small, shopping center, which was once a farm owned by Philip Freneau who was a close contemporary of James Madison and Thomas Jefferson. I appreciate the aesthetic of Pies in Poet's, for the scroll and Old English font in the logo and the brick walls evoke the poetic life. The interior contrasts the appearance, thought it maintains a life of its own, with its bright lights. Website: 3/5 It has a basic showcase of the gallery images of the menu items and the location of the business. However, I do waver when I see the color scheme of the whole site, with the bright blue having a sight so out of place it completely throws off the tone of the site. I also thought that revolving section at the beginning of the site has a redundancy of always linking to the menu. The site brings you to the menu located on bringDat, which lets you order directly from a wide variety of categories. Wait Time: 5/5 I experienced no interruptions while awaiting my order. Ambiance: 5/5 The comfortable seats and tables manage to accommodate us. While the medium-sized establishment has a lot of tables, it does make use of the space. The pop music playing oer the radio had a medium-level volume and managed to have a soothing rhythm throughout the dining area. I also like how you get to walk outside the other entrance and explore Poet's Square, which has a quaint feeling giving you access to many businesses and the view of a pond. It might be better enjoyed in the summer when the pond is not frozen, but nonetheless, you get a pleasant view. Food: 5/5 I ordered the Mercutio Specialty Wrap and green tea. It contains buffalo chicken, blue cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion within a whole wheat wrap. I did think that it would have been called a buffalo chicken wrap since they typically come with blue cheese, but there is a separate menu item of buffalo chicken wrap without the blue cheese. I will say that the blue cheese provides the warm texture to the chicken, while the lettuce, tomato, and onion complements them, with the onion bits having the most amount of presence. The whole wheat wrap had a good prepared grill, and held its form. Service: 5/5 The staff attended to my order without any issues, and even helped me say "Mercutio" when I struggled to say it, since it has been a while since I said that name. Worth The Money?: 4/5 The menu selection reflects their brand with poetic aesthetics, from subs named after US presidents to wraps named after Shakespeare characters. I do not know how buffalo chicken and blue cheese relates to Mercutio--perhaps his unorthodox spiciness as a character factors into the teleology. It would help Pies in Poet's if they included passages from Shakespeare's plays that justify the wraps named after the characters. Nonetheless, the wait time was appropriate for the time it took the prepare the Mercutio Specialty Wrap. I always factor in space around and inside any establishment in my reviews. In the case of Pies in Poet's, I will say that it uses space very well. It also adds to the history of the Pies in Poet's eatery. I can also see how the food would fit within the festive vibe within the interior. I did not feel as though my time was wasted within the ambiance waiting for my order. While I did think that the bright blue color scheme did not work with my visit to the site, since it does not reflect the brand's color scheme, it did not outweigh anything else. The website provides you with a wide selection of menu items with their usage of bringDat. I would definitely consider Pies in Poet's to be my first choice when looking for a writing spot. I will say that the price was ultimately worth it. Rating: 5/5 Stars I place this establishment within a soft spot in my heart. Recommend To... Anyone going to a pizzeria in the summer, since you would be able to eat from a wide variety of menu items, while also having a view of the Freneau pond. I also would recommend this establishment to anyone who is an English major, since they would get a kick out of this place.

This has spinach, mushrooms, breaded eggplant and zucchini, and roasted peppers on a layer of melted mozzarella, finished with a drizzle of sweet balsamic glaze. This was hubs' favorite of the two. He said that the combination reminded him of LA but with a better crust. He'd probably order this again. I thought this was ok and pretty healthy. Service was friendly and quick. Will return to try other items on the menu!

What an incredible restaurant and pizzeria! Can I tell you - we were blown away with the…read morewonderful service and amazing food! You know the old saying, 'never judge a book by its cover?' That describes this place perfectly. It's not just a 'pizzeria.' The items offered on the menu could rival those found in NYC. The food is not only fresh - but it's incredibly delicious. The portions served are larger than what is often served today. We enjoyed the lasagna and firecracker salad. The lasagna tasted just like Nona made it, and the firecracker salad was seriously memorable! (Both were so good - we returned for a second time and enjoyed what we previously ate the first time). It was that good. We finished by sharing the 'tartufo.' No one within a 100 mile radius offers this on their menu. We were so happy to find this desert on Tony's menu. The service. Each time we've dined there, the service has been incredible. Very prompt, hospitable, and welcoming. You can dine indoors or alfresco. *Prices are extremely reasonable*.

Awesome ... everything is past excellent ... and then some ... never a bad experience ... highly…read morerecommended!
