Let me ask you a hard question: Who makes the best pizza in New Jersey? Earlier this year, we hosted the Pizza Playoffs on the radio station, where we asked you to vote on the best pizza around the Jersey Shore.

Places like Fratellie's, Bella's, Zachary's, and Pies on 37 were all hailed as having some of the best pizza around, but the winner of our Pizza Playoff was also ranked as one of the best pizza places in the entire country.

What sets Bucky's Pizza apart from other pizzerias is the crust. Bucky's Pizza makes its crust out of fermented sourdough, giving it an incredibly unique and one-of-a-kind taste.

Bucky's Pizza is a newcomer to the pizza game in Jersey, but they are definitely making an impact, being called not just one of the best pizza spots in Jersey, but in all of America.
