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.

MMMMMM!!!! We have a tradition with our family over 40 years. Our children have now become big fans of Macks pizza. We are there every year to visit Macks at both locations and multiple times throughout our week there. We love Macks Pizza!!!

Love the pizza. If I'm within a 30 minute drive while showing properties (I'm with Century 21), I make the trip to get a couple of pies from Macks!

Have been going to Mack's for over 60 years. Used to live in Wildwood. Many years ago, moved to NYC. I travel from NYC every year, several times, just to get my fix of Mack's and take home a few half-baked pies. Still the best after all of these years.

Very salty and not that great. The sauce tastes like from a can. Sam’s is just so much better. I really can’t understand the hype around Mack’s. The best part is the think crust but that’s about it. Don’t ever order delivery. The few times we’ve had Mack’s deliveries it was awful.

Greasy, often burnt and many-times reheated, with inconsistent freshness. The cheddar in the cheese blend casts some serious doubt upon this pizzeria's Italian origins. Eaten here a few times over the years, always because someone else wanted it, and most (but admittedly not all) slices have been disappointing. I'm told this place was great in the '80s, but I can't wrap my head around how it's still such an institution decades later. It is the "Pat's King of Steaks" of the Wildwood Boardwalk.

I have been going to Macks since the slices were 35 cents, now at $2.50 a slice you are getting a double slice than years ago. I will always Love Macks Pizza up on the Boards in Wildwood. Paired with a Birch Beer is Perfect on a great summer night.

Everyone in my family LOVES Mack's Pizza!! Even when we are in Ocean City, Maryland, we always take a day and take the Lewes Fairy over to Wildwood just so we can eat Mack's Pizza and enjoy Wildwood for a day. I have been going to Wildwood since I was a baby, so I was introduced to this great pizza very early in my life and love it to this day!! I could really go for a slice of Mack's pizza right now!!

The eternal Wildwood Pizza disagreement in my family. I love Sam's and my wife and daughter love Mack's. (That's why only the 4-star rating from me). But very worth the time. It's very good pizza.

The best pizza anywhere! People come from far away to get Mack's Pizza for a good reason. As soon as my feet touch the first board on the boardwalk, I am headed straight to Mack's. I do not understand the Mack's/Sam's controversy because there is no comparison as far as I am concerned. I had to try Sam's once so that I could say that I had tried it and it is not bad pizza but it is also not Mack's. I have never tasted pizza this good anywhere. It is always better when you eat it there as you get the whole boardwalk experience (and get to people watch too- always fun). The cheese and the sauce have that extra Mack's flavor which gives the pizza a taste all its own. I am a fan of thin crust anyway (probably due to growing up eating Mack's Pizza) and I love watching how they put the cheese on first, then the sauce for those great flavor swirls. I would give it 6 stars if I could. It is that good.
