Pizza Boy is located on the boardwalk near 11th and 12th streets. You order at the take-out window and then sit outside in very tiny booths that barely fit 4 people, but are covered. There were about 15 booths. There is no indoor seating. There are also outside covered picnic tables you can sit at which are slightly larger at the restaurant next door. The menu was your typical pizza restaurant type and adequate with average pricing. You can also buy beer here but not an extensive list. They did have 2 or 3 craft beers on the menu. The wait staff is your "can barely speak English" type that is typical in most of OC, but they did just fine with our orders and everything came out correct.
I can't speak about the food we did not eat. We had a plain hamburger, plain pizza, pepperoni pizza, and boardwalk fries. The hamburger was average tasting at best and could use perhaps a better quality meat. It was a fairly big hamburger though being a double patty. The pizza was average at best also. I have had three other pizzas on the boardwalk that I thought were better and at least one just off the boardwalk (and some that were worse too). I eat a lot of pizza and always try new places. The crust was probably below average and about medium thickness. Basically, I can say no more except "average." I would give this place 2.5 stars (average) if I could. The fries were somewhat soggy and not the best. They are boardwalk fries so will have the skin on (not everyone likes that). They tasted Ok though and not bad. They need to be cooked to a more crispy consistency maybe. I would say they were average for boardwalk type fries. For once I would like to see a shore place offer hot crinkle cut fries cooked in very high temp peanut oil to crispiness, but not dark! You can't find that at the various ocean boardwalks anywhere.
To sum up, if you are near this place and hungry it will do just fine but there are better places on the boardwalk for pizza, and probably hamburgers and fries, if you can seek them out, although you may not be able to get great versions of all three at the same...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI came down to OC Maryland to spend some time with the family before getting deployed. Went to different restaurants and ordered wings from pizza boys and the employees (all very nice and helpful). I decided to go grab some pizza from another shop cause of preference. I wanted to sit at their establishment but got denied by someone who didnāt even take our order ( Iām guessing heās the owner or the manager) because of an outside food policy. Iām not an unreasonably person, I understand if we didnāt buy something from the place we probably shouldnāt have any right to be there;However, we already spent 50 dollars on wings and just wanted to sit down and enjoy some family time. Even the original employees who took our order said it was fine until Mr. Grumpy gave the final no. There was only one couple in the entire seating area so I didnāt see why us eating there would cause an issue unless it was race related (Iām hoping that it is not). In all, it left a bad experience for me with them and would not go back , but I will give credit to the people who served us and prepared the food, I...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThis establishment is not Black and Brown friendly. It was my first time at this establishment and I ordered the āMeat Lovers Pizzaā. The pizza was good but it was unfortunate that the hospitality was horrible towards me and my crew. From starters they were impatient but I didnāt automatically jump into conclusions. But when they called my number I realized the attitude. They kept staring at us which made us feel uncomfortable. When it was time to leave I asked to use the restroom the white guy mumbled something to his female coworker rolled his eyes, and then told me I needed a key to use the restroom he just tossed the key at me from the glass window. I asked for a box to go and the female seemed very hesitant. As we were getting ready to leave they didnāt stop staring. I did notice that they were pleasant to their WHITE CUSTOMERS. My family noticed their attitude. As I left I kept it classy, peaceful, and made sure to clean up after ourselves. I brushed it all off and kept my head up. I will never ever go back. We didnāt feel...
