Popular LBI, NJ Pizzeria BLVD Pizza Is Openign A New Location

So often we hear about local businesses and local restaurants announcing that they're closing their doors for good around New Jersey, so when there are times I can write about a local Jersey Shore business growing, I jump at the opportunity and get excited to see some local success stories.

And when it's about a Jersey Shore pizzeria that not only locals love, but was once featured on Dave Portnoy's One Bite Challenge, I think it's really cool. I know Portnoy is a bit of a divisive figure in the New Jersey food scene, since he's not actually from the state but judges our food on a national scale, but I'm a fan, and I always like to hear what he has to say.
