Pete & Elda's Bar / Carmen's Pizzeria

Drove over an hour just to try this place out. Totally lived up to the hype. Most bar pie’s don’t have bubbles but this did which added to the score. Sauce was sweet and had enough tang. Cheese was excellent. ZERO flop. Minimal grease. 10/10 would make the trip again.

Thin crust bar style pie. Cheese had good flavor, not an 8 though.

Solid pie here. Super light. Ingredients seem fresh and the sauce has a nice tang. Good cheese/sauce ratio. While it’s good, the crust is super thin and like a cracker. Not a big fan since it seemed to just fall apart when I picked it up. Felt like I was just eating cheese and sauce on a cracker

When not too well done, it’s the best in NJ

The plain pie was fire. Monster score

Good tasting pizza Take alittle bit to get use to it’s like eating saltines with the texture But great flavor and great crisp

Cracker thin a little flop it does taste like a cracker too still good not legendary like I was expecting

Light and soo good. Needed a tad more cheese but overall not much flop and nice and thin and crispy.

Solid thin crust pizza.

We stopped here on a Saturday afternoon. Usually Federici’s in Freehold is where we go when we’re up this way…but friends said we should try this place as well. . We did, and boy are we glad we did. . We actually like the pizza here better than Federici’s, however, Federici’s still has that homemade creamy Italian dressing that the girlfriend loves, so we’ll still have that in the rotation. . Anyway we got the regular pizza with extra cheese. The crust was crunchy but the middle was not. Maybe we have to ask for well done next time? . It was still delicious and we are glad we ordered extra cheese. We also tried a vodka sauce small with extra cheese and a sweet marinara sauce with caramelized onions and extra cheese as well. They were all fantastic. This place is very good if you like thin bar style pies, we drove about an hour to get here. Great lunch! . However, the pro move is to go about a half a mile up the street to Local Smoke BBQ and grab a smoked chicken to have for dinner at home …. and poppers, you always have to get the jalapeño poppers at local smoke.

collab with @makelovetopizza69. dave nailed this review. similar pie to federici’s, but this is lighter. great crunch. my only critique is with the cheese. not too much flavor there. overall a solid bar pie. worth the travel from Wall after the pitch and putt (i won)

Pres hit the nail on the head with this one. Def in the 8s but no higher Ft. pizzaconnoisseur6969
