The Sawmill

Was on vacation. Felt comfortable there nice local beers on tap, on boardwalk, decent pizza. If you drive there, lot next to restaurant and beach; where boardwalk ends. Pay for parking, as police (in Seaside Heights) patrol.

The pizza was definitely large and would have been an ok price for something that large if it was better quality. We ordered a half cheese, and half mushroom pizza. When it arrived it reminded me of the bad pizza we were served at my elementary school. There was also a ridiculous amount of mushrooms on the mushroom half of the pizza. It wasn’t a bargain so much as gross. The number of mushrooms on my wife’s slice was more than the number you’d see on an entire large pizza elsewhere. The waiter did a decent job waiting on the table, the atmosphere was ok for a sports bar/pizza place, and the appetizers we got (soft pretzels, and cheese balls) were decent. The pizza was so bad that it was kind of ruined the last night of our vacation.

The biggest slice of pizza ever. Worth walking past the other pizza options for. 100% recommend the Sawmill. Cooked to perfection. Free garlic, oregano and other toppings available at the counter.

On the busy hustle and bustle of THE Jersey Shore boardwalk, at the southern end, lies the most relaxing, family oriented pizza joint that makes a New Yorker feel right at home. Incredible pizza. Incredible food selection, massive dining area that easily accommodate my large family, and service that makes Michelin Rated restaurants look like the night shift at the local Taco Bell. From mussels, to nachos, too traditional Italian eats, you will not be disappointed. Size of the pie aside, being so big that NASA gets worried when they toss their dough, the value and quality is beyond that of anything else you will ever find in the entire state of Jersey. You came highly recommended. And I’m glad I took that recommendation. In fact, we loved it so much, we went twice for dinner and once for lunch on the same vacation. Good on you, Sawmill.

If you are at Seaside Heights Park to enjoy the beach and broadwalk, this is a great laid-back restaurant for families. They have a kids menu and their pizza slices are huge. The Siracha chicken was a bit dry (needed more sauce) but the eggplant caprese sandwich was perfect. The claim linguini is good too and all prices were reasonable (most adult entrees were less than $21). Great to stop by after the beach and before exploring the broadwalk.
