I was thinking the same thing! Shellfish, shellfish and more shellfish!


Is that what OBX is known for? I am genuinely curious - where is the good seafood, that is fresh, from that area, and you don't have to douse it with Old Bay or New Bay or whatever the heck that crap is. What are the options that aren't a two hour wait out the door? Clearly there needs to be more options in OBX, because the options with the two hour wait out the door are not that great. That's all. If you haven't had good, fresh, from that area seafood, that's fine - but have some understanding of people who go to the beach for (wait for it) fresh, from that area, seafood - preferably not doused in crap.


I have no idea what you are talking about. I don’t put crap on my seafood or wait two hours for anything. But you sound mean and angry so I don’t feel like helping you. Enjoy DE or NJ!

Who gives a crap if pizza is "NY" or not.

There is a certain way to cook a good pizza. You don't have to be Italian or from NY to know or learn it.

A good pizza place DOES have a REALLY FREAKING HOT expensive (over $10k) oven. And freshly made dough from scratch.

That's about it, toppings are just tasty stuff that's fresh.



New Yorkers give a crap about pizza, because the love to tell everybody how everything is better "back home." My question is if it's so hetter back home, why are you here?

Also, you can find tons of great pizza outside of New York. It's not that hard to make.


I guess if you didn’t grow up with good food then it’s hard to understand why people appreciate and miss good food.

That said, I still go to OBX for reasons other than food. If NY/NJ had better beach rental options, I’d go there in a heartbeat.


No I didn't grow up in NY/NJ, so I was deprived of good food growing up. Thankfully there is a large influx of New Yorkers in and around DC who can share their wisdom on what's good. FYI, I've had plenty of NY pizza. Some of it's been really good and some pretty pedestrian. Also, it's not hard to find good pizza anywhere in the U.S.



LOL. Sure.

Cravings is good but they get slammed every day so the wait is forever. There is one main road in Duck so the traffic is awful. It’s not grid streets like the Jersey shore. There’s no boardwalk to drive to and the charm is just not there IMO. It’s a lot of preppy Southerners wearing monogrammed clothes and Lilly Pulitzer stuff. I grew up in the northeast and I miss going to the Jersey shore so much. Better towns and people.


I am LOLing so hard at how you are trying to sound pretentious and failing. Jersey shore is TRASH. And who goes to the beach to eat pizza? Get some fresh seafood you ignoramus. Go to the Blue Point, Paper Canoe, or Kimball's Kitchen. Oh that's right, you probably can't afford nice meals out which is why you're looking for pizza on vacation


The main reason why people go to OBX is that it’s cheaper so...

Pizza and hoagie snobs....shessh. It's not hard to find good pizza outside of NY. Also, I didn't know making a sub/hoagie was such an art- good deli meat, good bread, and some condiments...not that hard.


Spoken like someone who doesn’t appreciate a good hoagie.

Enjoy Subway.

Duck has the fewest # of confederate flags in the OBX.

A few but not as much as other OBX towns.

It costs twice as much, or more, to rent a much smaller beach house in the Northeast. No one is going to eat pizza seven nights a week - not in NY/NJ, not in OBX, not anywhere. If you don't know good food, that's fine, but have some understanding about why some people don't want spaghettio-level food during their vacation week, nor do they want to cook every night. It is not that difficult to understand, but you want claim the problem is them, as usual - which is a very, very southern thing to do. Come to think of it, I don't care much for "stars and bars" on my vacation, either.


For hating the OBX so much, you really post on a lot of OBX threads. I remember your multiple Spaghettios posts.


Yes, I just posted about it ONCE on either this or one other thread, thank you for paying attention, chiming in with your own hate, yet still not answering the question at hand.

How's that working for you?

LOL. No answers. I will certainly enjoy my beach (won't tell you where), with faces happier than yours.

But, but, isn't that the only food they have in NY/NJ? I have never been, so I have no idea. LOL.

OP, do the people who go to OBX really seem like they enjoy anything? Might want to run with a better crowd.

"once," yeah right. Just like you've only posted once or twice here, right? You're the most prolific poster when the topic is OBX. Like I said, for somebody who hates it so much (which I'm sure you do) you sure do seem compelled to post about it a lot. Sorry you're so bored.

New York and New Jersey folks and their sacred hoagies. It's soooo hard- good italian meats and cheeses, good bread, some condiments, done. Apparently the only place this complicated recipe can be successfully replicated is NY and NJ. They act like it's akin to making a souffle.

Well, work is a little slow today, but I'm anything but bored. Sorry you are so angry. How is that working for you?
