Every Friday night, my fiancée Nicole and I head out to CBO the best Pizza place I have ever been to. There are a lot of reasons that we love CBO (pronounced C-BO by the locals here at the Jersey shore) but here are a few that come to mind: all pies on the menu can be ordered on wheat crust, all of the ingredients are fresh and of the utmost quality, the service is top notch, it is clean, and the ambience is great.
We found out about CBO when Nicole ran into one of our friends Jen who happens to work at CBO.
We always start off the night with the excellent Arugula salad and bruschetta with fresh mozzarella.
I took this picture of the two pies we got tonight on my iPhone. Nicole usually orders a Pattie Pie on wheat – easy on the cheese (pictured on top). A Patti Pie is basically a gourmet pizza topped with bruschetta. I keep it real and order a Sausage and Peppers Pie (pictured on the bottom). I keep it unreal by getting it on wheat as well:)
The night is capped off with fresh cookies from the amazing bakery next door to CBO.
On Saturday morning I eat all the left over’s. If you live in Jersey or come to visit, come check out CBO for that great pizza indulgence without the “I shouldn’t have ate that” feeling afterwards.
Addition 8/23/2010: Neil the owner of CBO found this blog article, thanked me for the kind words, and asked me to do a website for his additional location in Middletown/Red Bank, NJ. His new restaurant has a slightly different name: “CIBO” (Coal Infused Brick Oven) and the website is here: www.cibopizzacafe.com
Dude, can you overnight me a pie!!!
Many people including my family arebig fans. but why do all of these reviews neglect to show the hours? they are not on the menu …. I know they do not answer thw phone until 4ish. However I do not know this is 7 days ?? Just had to ask. grateful!
Why did CBO closed, I happened upon your blog because I was looking for something on facebook that would reflect the reason why they closed so quickly. I live in Bradley Beach during the summer months and will miss this place. I heard they didn’t get their lease renewed, if that is the case what is Delponte’s thinking???? They brought so much business to to bakery.
oops “close” typo
Hi Gail,
I believe CBO’s lease ran out in Bradley Beach. We were very upset ourselves that it closed!
We got to go to the new place in Middletown, and it is really good! Same pizza with a few different twists on the meals and salads.
Check-em out, it’s worth the drive.
