• Skipping the Boardwalk Pizza in Point Pleasant Can Save You A Lot of Money for Better Slices (shorenewsnetwork.com) — If you’re planning a day on the Point Pleasant Beach boardwalk, you can cut your pizza bill nearly in half by walking a few blocks inland, where large pies run closer to $15–$18 instead of $34–$42. The piece compares popular boardwalk spots like Joey Tomatoes and Little Mac’s with nearby neighborhood pizzerias, showing how families can redirect those savings to rides, games, or ice cream.
   

• Family was cutting cake on their little one's birthday at Joey Tomatoes, only for the owner to call it ‘inappropriate' during a heated confrontation (attackofthefanboy.com) — A birthday party at Joey Tomatoes in Point Pleasant Beach turned tense when the owner objected to a family cutting an outside cake, despite their claim they’d called ahead for permission.
