Boardwalk bliss

Mack and Manco's pizza is my perfect food. Now, I have already talked about this several times, so I promise to be silent on the subject for the rest of the weekend. But: I ate at the 9th Street Mack's for dinner tonight, and even I, a veteran, was astonished at the line to get in. I'm talking two dozen people for a boardwalk storefront that is not that large. Now mind you this was not for free pizza. My sister, brother-in-law, niece and two other friends came down for the day, and generously got in line while I was finishing up some work in my hotel room. I timed it just right: they waited 20 minutes or more, I only had to wait 5 minutes. Score!

And at the end, the perfect mix of sweet sauce, cheese, and thin, thin crust. Boardwalk bliss.

This is Julia Barth, not quite 3, enjoying our favorite pizza. She's my niece so she doesn't mind me snapping photos of her while she eats!

The Downashore Team is a group of Philly.com producers. Some of us grew up vacationing at the Jersey Shore, and others came to appreciate it later. Either way, we know our Mack and Manco's from our Prep's Pizza, and we'll do our best to share news, information and musings from up and down the coast. Please do post a comment with your Shore thoughts, or shoot us an e-mail by clicking on the link above. (OK, so we're not really at the beach in this photo, but armed with the power of a good photo editing program, we can dream, right?) We're joined by Inquirer staff writer Amy Rosenberg, who as a year-round Shore resident, knows a thing or two about the scene, and the Shoobies.
