What We’re Eating on Our Gluten-Free Beach Trip | Part 5 🌊☀️
**Gluten-Free Beach Finds 🌊 | Part 5**
One of the things I miss most after going gluten free is being able to grab a slice of boardwalk pizza with my family. 🍕❤️
This time we stopped at Manco & Manco on 12th Street and the Boardwalk, and it absolutely lived up to the hype.
The gluten-free pizza was SO good. The crust was hearty with a great texture, and while it cracked just a little when we were cutting it, it held up really well. There was a bit more cheese than I expected, but honestly... no complaints. I'd order it again and again.
What really stood out was how they handled gluten-free orders. They bake the pizza in a separate pan to help reduce cross-contamination and even give you a brand-new plastic pizza cutter. Those little details make such a difference when you're eating gluten free.
More than anything, this gave us the chance to enjoy a classic boardwalk pizza night together as a family without feeling like we were missing out. We finished dinner and walked right onto the boards, it was one of those simple vacation moments that just felt normal again.
The only downside? A seagull tried to steal our Kohr Bros. cone on the walk back. 😂
⭐️ This is definitely a place we'll be visiting every time we're in Ocean City.

Visiting Ocean City while following a gluten-free diet can sometimes feel limiting, but my recent experience at Manco & Manco truly changed that for me. Not only did the restaurant deliver great taste with their gluten-free pizza, but the care they took to prevent cross-contamination showed genuine respect for gluten-free diners. Having your pizza baked in a dedicated pan and receiving a brand-new plastic cutter are small but meaningful details that create peace of mind. From personal experience, finding gluten-free options outside home can be a challenge on vacation, especially when craving classic boardwalk foods like pizza. That hearty crust, which barely cracked during cutting, provided the texture and satisfaction I miss on many gluten-free pizzas elsewhere. Plus, the extra cheese—though unexpected—added a comforting richness that made it feel like a traditional slice without compromise. The joy of sharing this meal with family on the boardwalk really emphasized how accessible and enjoyable gluten-free eating can be, turning ordinary moments into treasured memories. Even the funny incident with a seagull trying to snatch an ice cream cone added to the authentic, carefree vibe of a beach trip. For anyone planning a visit to Ocean City, especially those who follow a gluten-free diet, I highly recommend Manco & Manco as a must-try spot. Their commitment to quality and safe preparation makes it a perfect place to enjoy a classic Jersey Shore experience without feeling like you're missing out. Don't forget to walk the boards afterwards—there's nothing like that ocean breeze and the sound of waves to complete a perfect gluten-free beach day.
