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.

It drips with grease from the pizza. Leaves a grease taste in your mouth. The price for a plain 3 and for toppings 4. Other places much cheaper.

I first had Mac's as a kid about 40 yrs ago on the Seaside Heights boardwalk. That location has been gone for awhile now, so I look forward to my annual trek to Wildwood where I can grab a slice (or a pie). Sam's is good but I can get that pizza at home in Central NJ. Macs has a unique flavor and a very nice crust, unlike any other. Don't know if it's cheddar or provolone blended in ....could be provo...it has that touch of sharpness that's just great. No other pie tastes like it. And yes they put a bit of oil on their pie before baking...that's very old school...grew up with a pizza maker and saw it firsthand. Maybe not for everyone but clearly a LOT of people enjoy their pies
