NJ’s Unhealthiest Menu Item: Here's Where To Find It
A health and nutrition website offers its opinion on the most unwholesome menu options in all 50 states. Here's where to find the one in NJ.
NEW JERSEY — You might think that an over-the-top hoagie, stuffed pork roll or loaded boardwalk hot dog would serve as the Garden State's unhealthiest menu item. You'd be wrong.
According to the Eat This, Not That website, the state's most dietary despicable place is New Jersey’s own Tony Boloney’s, which touts the internet-famous Taco Taco Taco pizza among other interesting combination pies not for the faint of heart.
The chain has locations in Hoboken, Long Branch, Atlantic City and Jersey City, per its website. Eat This, Not That is a blog consisting of doctors, nutritionists, chefs, personal trainers and dietitians who post on food, nutrition, dieting, weight loss and other health topics.

“When you want to load up on fat and carbs, Tony Boloney's can't be beat,” the website says. “Tread lightly around their signature pizzas, like the Taco, Taco, Taco, which is topped with actual tacos, or the Casino Carnival, which has ten types of meat.”
