The Jersey Shore is known for many things, the Boardwalks, the Beaches and, of course, Mack and Manco Pizza.

Although you may not see many big time movie stars and grammy award wining recording artists walking around the Ocean City Boardwalk, there is one group of celebrities that are well known fixtures that add to the charm and fun of the shore... the Mack & Manco Piemen.

Who are the Piemen? They are a group of talented, dedicated artisans that spend their days and nights crafting the perfect pizza. They can be seen day in and day out, moulding and shaping the pizza dough, which by the way is a closely guarded Mack and Manco secret. Then they toss it high into the air to give it that classic pizza pie shape and that famous Mack and Manco texture.

Traditionally, the pizza sauce goes on next, but, the Piemen do it differently..they put the cheese on instead, another fact that gives a Mack and Manco Pizza that distinctive and famous taste.

Finally the pizza sauce, another closely guarded secret, is added. Mack and Manco's super secret homemade sauce is added in a circular motion on top of the cheese giving the pizza a rich taste and unique texture.

What about the toppings you say? Not yet.. Next the pizza goes into the oven which was specially designed to meet Mack and Manco's strict quality control requirements. Once the pizza reaches a certain doneness it is removed from the oven and the toppings are added. These are not your average toppings.. the Pieman add huge slices of tomatoes, enormous crowns of broccoli, delectable slices of pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, black olives, onions, spinach and green peppers.

Finally, the pizza goes back into the oven where it is closely guarded ensuring the perfect crust and that perfect Mack and Manco taste.

The Piemen have a reputation as being part of an elite crew. A team of culinary professionals who take their job as seriously as any world-class chef would. They put their heart and soul into every pizza they make and take pride in knowing that they are following the same great tradition that developed over 50 years ago.
