Manco & Manco Pizza - 9th Street — Restaurant in Ocean City

Ah yes, Manco and Manco 9th. Give Mrs. Manco my regards because she’s done it again. My meal at 9th tonight was superb. Yesterday, me and my dining acquaintance opted for the 12th street locale due to line lengthiness at the inherently superior 12th street counterpart. We enjoyed it. However, we decided to brave the treacherous line and reap the benefits of much better pizza tonight and it was worth every second. Sure, the line is intimidating at the very least, but the bar is the absolute move. Not only do you get to watch employees hard at work, hurling discs of dough high in the sky, or transporting approximately 106 pizza boxes stacked very strangely, but you get to cut the line nearly in half. Most common folk seek a table in the back, but let me tell you now—you’re not missing out on any conversation if you go for the bar instead, because it’s noisy as all get out. My acquaintance ordered a plain slice times two and I ordered both a plain slice and the same exact thing with pepperoni added. Expectional is an understatement. All I had to do was graze the ooey gooey mozz to know I was sinking my teeth into the best pizza on the boards. My pepperoni was surprisingly spar, boasting a well-doneness I didn’t ask for aloud, but yearned for deep inside. As I typically do at Double M’s, I tried every single seasoning together at once. They’re all up to restraunt standard if you were wondering. The salt shaker, however, was seriously a struggle to operate. I tried my classic hind end jostle but still did not receive more than a couple flurries. Still, do not unscrew it and hope for the best like I did, because my next bite was so salty my saliva had the same floating ability as the dead sea. A nice gentleman who I surveyed briefly was quoted describing his meal as “off the hook!” My dining acquantice also added: “watching a man throw pizza after pizza into the air really changed my...

One of the best thin slice of pizza I ever ate. I can remember when I have had nearly as good in many pizze shops but the level of toppings really set this slice apart. I got the chicken bacon ranch slice and it had a whole layer of chicken from crust ti tip. Chunky chicken, not little chopped pieces but landscape sized. Generous amounts of bacon served under a drizzle of ranch. Just enough for flavor but not too much to be messy which helps when you are eating on the boardwalk. The foundation or undercarriage as the pizza pros say was the real treat. Toppings are toppings and if you use enough you can make cardboard taste good. I am talking about the loveliest ballance of crisp and chewy with actual full flavor in the dough.

We went back again for a whole pie. There was no wait and fast service. The pie came out in 10 to 12 minutes. That should have been a sign but I was so excited to head back with my wife to devour it i never opened the box. The pizza looked awesome but was tragically undercooked. The mushrooms looked like the just got out of the can. No shrivel or color and wet. The pepperoni was wet with oil and what I had really wanted was that crust I HAD FROM THE FIRST SLICE. This did not happen. I had to drag a slice onto the plate and hope everything stayed put. It was very sloppy and wet. It in no way could hold its own from flopping. Even fully folded the tip dropped toppings. It was wet and nothing like the first slice. The crust was the best with the crisp, and the flavor was hard to describe. The crust was very good but the rest was not what I had hoped. I would definitely check the pie before leaving next time. Just 5 more minutes would have been a whole...

The first time I visited, Ocean city, New Jersey. I stumbled across Manco & Macon Pizza, and I was hooked. I made sure to always stop by and get a slice!

However, a person mentioned to me that their pizza dough was made with lard. I decided to email Manco & Macon, to get a clear answer. I was curious if this rumor is true or not.

After emailing, I got a response back. They advised me to download the app, the app should answer all my questions about their ingredients. So, I downloaded their app, however there were no ingredients for their dough.

Then I emailed again, they were not straightforward with their answer. The email stated, that I can always try the gluten free pizza. I emailed them again asking them again, if their pizza dough contains any lard? They emailed me back with this statement " try to make your best judgement". Now , this response made me feel a little suspicious and uncomfortable.

At this point, I felt that, I was not going to get a straight answer to my question. This presents a big problem; there are a lot of people from different faiths, which have certain dietary restrictions that prevents them from consuming certain animals. Also there are some people who are vegetarian, that also abstain from animal products.

So by not telling their customers, the ingredients of their pizza dough, they are doing a disservice to their customers. By no means I want them to change their recipe, if this is what led them to their success, then I'm fine with it. However, they have to State the ingredients of...
