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.

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.

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.

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.

2nd best slice on the boardwalk. A little to greasy for my liking, but still great.

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
