According to NJ.Com, the Monmouth County Board of Commissioners has spoken and believes that they have found the best pizza in the state. During Director Thomas Arnone’s state of the county address, he announced Monmouth County as the "Pizza Capital of New Jersey."

“We are incredibly proud of our pizzerias and our small business community, and we believe that our pizzerias are truly the best in New Jersey,” Arnone said. “So, we have officially proclaimed Monmouth County as the Pizza Capital of New Jersey.”

What a bold claim when it comes to the pizza lovers in Jersey. But, do we think it's a true statement?

In food reports, there were a few pizza spots in Monmouth County that were named some of the best. Food writer Pete Genovese highlighted pizzerias like Pete & Elda's, Del Ponte's Coal-Fired Pizza, Porta, Talula's, and more.
