The Brothers Restaurant • 1957

When brothers Bill and Tony Pecoraro transformed the old West End Hotel into The Brothers in 1957, they brought Naples-style thin-crust pizza to Red Bank that locals still swear by nearly seven decades later. The bar pie here — crispy, lightly charred, no-nonsense — has earned devotees throughout Monmouth County who debate whether to order it well done for extra crunch. Pull up a stool at the bar, order a pitcher of beer, and settle in for pizza that's stayed true to its old-school roots.
