Maruca's Tomato Pies

The Maruca family has been dishing out their famous tomato pies along the Jersey Shore boardwalk for over 70 years. Over the decades, they've become as essential to the local culture as Skee-Ball, Springsteen, and the liberal use of hair gel. They've even won the heart of New Jersey legend Jon Bon Jovi, who has been a regular customer since filming a music video there in 1985.

Maruca's specializes in Trenton-style tomato pies, with their unique blend of cheeses melted directly onto a thin and crispy crust, and local Jersey tomato sauce ladled into a signature swirl on top. It all started back in 1950, when the Maruca brothers decided to turn their love of food into a business, and opened a pizza shop on the Seaside boardwalk. In the years that followed, Maruca’s Tomato Pies thrived, and they became known for serving "the Best pizza on the Boards." The Marucas still run the business today, and remain committed to their family tradition, making their famous pies for an ever-growing legion of loyal customers.
