Biography

Biography: 
More than 70 years ago, the Mackrone family started selling pizza at a restaurant near the Trenton fairgrounds in New Jersey. It was going pretty well so they decided to open a shop on the Seaside Heights boardwalk, which was also successful. One day they decided to jump in their car to take a fun road trip down to south Jersey. They ended up in the little town of Wildwood, which had become a hot vacation spot. They loved the town and decided to open up a shop on Wildwood's boardwalk.
 
The grand opening on Memorial Day weekend 1953 didn't go so hot. As a matter of fact, it poured rain all weekend and they only sold 8 pies the entire weekend! But this wasn't an indication of the success they were soon to have in the coming decades--eventually they had 4 locations and have become one of Wildwood's and New Jersey's most famous pizzerias.
 
What to expect from a Mack's pizza? A thin crust, cheddar-drive cheese blend, and a sweet tangy sauce.

I only remember Mack's Pizza at the beginning of Funtown Pier around 1963 or so ... Not so sure about it being in the Heights

No comparison, Mack's is the best! Perfect balance of thin crispy dough with perfect sauce and real cheese. Some think it's greasy. I think it's perfect, a little grease means it's real cheese.

I grew up on Wildwood vacations. Every year I talked about my favorite things to do...,Macks Pizza was top of the Boardwalk list! After a day in the ocean it was The Treat that we looked so forward to eating! It was fun watching the employees throw the pies in the air.

Mack's was always a favorite with our family. In recent years the quality of the pizza has gone down hill. The tangy cheese was the key and now they use something else on top of their pies. :( It just does not have that original Mack's taste anymore. In June of 2010 we bought another pie and it was an improvement over previous years, then again in July it tasted like the Mack's Pizza we used to remember. Then we had a chance to visit one lats time in August and it was back to the bland pretty nasty tasting pizza from about 2005 to 2009. We really wish that they would go back to the way they used to make the pizza.

Macks pizza is very greasy. They are whipping pizza's out so fast they are just slopping them together with no quality. Also nothing worse than a piece of dried out pizza that is thrown into an oven reheated to only have a warm dried out slice. Thumbs down for me.

I have been eating Mack's pizza since I was young, my Dad used to buy me a slice on the boardwalk and now My husband and I go down for their opening day and closing day just to have Mack's and enjoy Wildwood for the Day. All other pizza is compared to Mack's for me. My family ate at Snuffy's in the crest which is no longer around, so now none of us agree on a pizza

We have the traditional fight in the family - Mack's or Sam's -- younger generation are Sam's fans older are Mack's fans. For me there is no comparison its Mack's all the way. but, you have to eat it there - it loses something when you bring it home. The thin slice, crispy crust, slightly sweet sauce and the cheese, oh the cheese - greasy, yep but that's what makes the flavors go together perfectly - couple that with a Birch Beer and I'm in heaven. heading up to the boards today to get my last slice or two of the season!!!

Always the best. And they deliver. When I think Wildwood I think Mack's. Think and crispy crust, perfect blend of cheese and sauce. I mean it's heaven.

I'm 72 and my family now in their 4th generations eats only Mack's while in Wildwood. This past summer I was so disappointed to find that they have decreased the size of the sodas and increased the price. No on else on boards charges that much for a small soda. I asked person who replaced the wonderful Ms. T and he said had to increase due to their cost. Bull @^$%, no one else has. Now I'll get my soda somewhere else and take it in when I get the pies. Told him you have too much competition to hurt yourself for a few cents. We'll see how Mack's shows it's cheapness this summer. Hate to be sent to Sam's, but it's the principle that counts.
