Joe Leone’s Italian Specialty Store

Joe Leone’s is far and away our favorite place to stop by the beach in Monmouth or Ocean County to fill our cooler for the day or stock up for a weekend of hanging out poolside. This place serves bread and fresh mozzarella as good as you’ll find in North Jersey, and the whole place is packed with the best specialty items on the coast. It’s impossible to go wrong here, but the sandwiches, eggplant pie, or any of their daily specials from the chef’s case are what you want.
