When you think of fresh, ready-to-go food at the Jersey Shore, what's the first place that comes to mind? I know, for me, it's none other than Joe Leone's in Point Pleasant.

Joe Leone's Is A Household Name Around New Jersey

Even before I lived in Jersey, I knew about Joe Leone's. My aunt has a house in Lavallette, and every summer when we'd come to the shore for a week, she'd always pick up some fresh pasta from Joe Leone's, and we'd always rave about how good it is.

What I didn't know about Joe Leone's, though, is that they make sandwiches to order, day in and day out, and even make their own featured sandwich every single day. And it doesn't get much tastier than a Joe Leone's sandwich.

It's All About The Bread At Joe Leone's

Joe Leone's makes their bread, in house, ever single day, and you can taste that difference when you order a sub from them. What's really cool is they take their bread and also turn it into the breadcrumbs that are used for their cutlets. So everything is made right in Joe Leone's.

Joe Leone's Is Competing In The Sandwich Playoffs, Here's Why You'll Love Them

I had the opportunity to meet with Amanda, who's worked for Joe Leone's for the better part of 15 years, and she took me through what makes their sandwiches and prepared foods different from other places at the shore; the key is that everything is made in-house.

They even have a fresh mozzarella station, where someone is making mozzarella in-house, day in and day out. Of course, while I was there, I had to pick up some tiramisu for dessert that day.

LIST: The Most Famous Person From Every County in NJ

Who is the most famous person from each NJ county? We made a (subjective) list. Not all of them were born in Jersey, and not all of them lived here for very long. But every celebrity on this list was proud of their Jersey roots one way or another so we're calling them our own.
