There are a few things you can always expect to see on the boardwalk: a group of 13-year-olds living a coming-of-age story, that mini-golf gorilla who intermittently spits water at unsuspecting victims, and a line out the door of Manco and Manco’s. Formerly known as Mack & Manco’s (and still called that by half the island), Manco & Manco’s looks like pretty much every other counter-service pizza shop on the boardwalk. Except that it’s not, it’s better. The slices are bigger, the crust is crunchier, and the cheese-to-sauce ratio is scientifically perfect.
