New Jersey’s Favorite Boardwalk Food Revealed

There’s just something about a summer day at the Jersey Shore that hits differently.

For me, the perfect boardwalk lineup starts with a few hours on the beach, followed by a giant slice of boardwalk pepperoni pizza loaded with salt and crushed red pepper, a chocolate/vanilla twist with chocolate sprinkles from Kohr's Frozen Custard, and then walking it all off on the boards.

Honestly, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Boardwalk pizza is one of those foods I wait for all year long. Sure, I could grab it in the offseason, but it just tastes better in the summer with sandy feet and ocean air.

I took to Facebook to ask what your favorite boardwalk food is, and I’ll admit, I was a little surprised by the number one answer.

Locals Pick Their Favorite Boardwalk Foods

Apparently, nothing beats a sausage, peppers, and onions sandwich on the boardwalk. And honestly? I get it. My husband would absolutely say this is his favorite!

A bunch of people shouted out Midway in Seaside Heights as their go-to spot for one.

Pizza Still Rules The Jersey Shore

Pizza came in as another huge favorite, which wasn’t shocking at all. There’s just something about those oversized boardwalk slices that makes them taste better than regular pizza. Maybe it’s the grease. Maybe it’s the sea breeze. Maybe it’s both.

Fried Boardwalk Desserts Got Plenty Of Love

The fried dessert lovers definitely showed up too. Funnel cake, fried Oreos, and zeppole's all got plenty of love in the comments.

Midway also picked up votes for their cheesesteaks, proving people are loyal to their boardwalk staples.
