Ask any Wildwood local where to find the best pizza on the Jersey Shore, and you’re bound to hear “Sam’s.” Sam’s pizza, a family-owned pizza joint where the line is often out the door, is located right on the boardwalk at 26th street. Sit at the counter inside Sam’s and you’ve got a front-row seat at one of the best shows in town. Sam’s entire kitchen is open, so diners get to watch as a team of expert pizza-makers stretch, sauce, bake and slice delicious circles of pie. Pizza and subs are pretty much the only food served at Sam’s. But if you want a side of fries, you can get your pizza to go, buy a bucket of Curley’s Fries (Curley’s is right across the boardwalk from Sam’s) and snag a nearby outdoor table. Like many restaurants on the boardwalk, Sam’s does not accept credit cards.
