What to Look For in Pizza Place
New Jersey takes its pizza seriously, and the shore is no exception. You'll find everything from classic New York-style slices to Trenton tomato pies, Neapolitan wood-fired creations, and boardwalk pizza that hits different at 11pm after a night out. Many shore pizza spots have been serving the same recipes for decades, with lines out the door every summer.
Insider Tips
- Check the crust - it should have character, not be a vehicle for toppings
- Lines usually mean quality, especially for boardwalk spots
- Ask about their sauce - some places have secret family recipes
- Wood-fired ovens produce a different (often superior) crust
Summer Season Tips
Boardwalk slices hit different at night. Expect lines at popular spots. Late-night pizza is a shore tradition.

Cape May Court House answers the question every parent asks during a rainy beach week: what do you do with kids when the sand isn't cooperating? The Cape May County Zoo offers completely free admission—not reduced, not discounted, free—for an AZA-accredited facility with over 550 animals across 85 acres. African lions, giraffes, snow leopards, red pandas, and 200+ other species live here, maintained at a quality level that surprises visitors expecting a municipal afterthought. The zoo ranks among the best free zoos in America, and the price point makes repeat visits during a weeklong beach vacation entirely sensible. Cape May County Park surrounds the zoo with the additional amenities that extend a zoo visit into a full-day outing: playgrounds for the post-animal energy burn, picnic pavilions for the packed lunches that save money, a disc golf course for teenagers who outgrew the carousel, and nature trails for the adults who need quiet. The fishing pond offers catch-and-release for kids learning to cast. The county seat designation explains the Victorian downtown that surrounds the court house—this was Cape May County's administrative center before the beach towns dominated tourism. Historic architecture lines the main streets, and local shops and restaurants serve the year-round population rather than the tourist influx. Figure $15-25 for casual dining. The location provides strategic value for Cape May peninsula visitors. Cape May proper sits 15 minutes south for Victorian architecture and fine dining. Wildwood's free beaches and Doo Wop motels are 10 minutes west. Sea Isle City lies 20 minutes north. Cape May Court House functions as the geographical center of the southern shore, making it the logical lunch-break or rainy-day destination for families staying anywhere in Cape May County. Seasonal events push the zoo beyond routine visits: Zoo Boo transforms October into costume parades and Halloween activities, and Winter Lights runs Thanksgiving through early January with spectacular after-dark displays. The most common way to visit Cape May Court House is accidentally—you're staying in Cape May or Wildwood, it rains, and someone in the group Googles "free things to do." You show up expecting a municipal zoo and leave surprised by the quality. That discovery pattern is essentially the entire marketing strategy, and it works: the zoo is genuinely better than most visitors anticipate. Beach access is 10-15 minutes in any direction.
