Bakeria 1010

Bakeria 1010 is back and better than before. Bakeria 1010 closed their Linwood doors in February of 2023 while the owner pursued a different venture in Philadelphia. Mike Fitzick is the owner and crafter behind their unique pizza that is light and airy like focaccia, but crispy when a crust that is better than many in South Jersey. The gem within his pizza skills is the dough which is sourdough.

Fitzick’s artwork of dough involves caring to the creation process by beginning its process at 3am. Fitzick has returned to his roots of Ocean City NJ, and has a brand new location on Asbury painted a deep navy blue.

Ocean City offers a diverse crowd with a rotating group of people from all over the EastCoast, Bakeria 1010 is more than just pizza. Fitzick has expanded into sandwiches, cheeses takes, artisan desserts, and Sourdough breads and baguettes.

With Fitzick coming from Mack & Manco, he brings an entirely different feel to pizza. Instead of a huge tourist location with the goal of mass production, his shop and feel is more of a mom and pop’s vibe.

I had never had Bakeria 1010 when its spot was Linwood NJ, but I got the chance to try their pizza the day after they opened, and it was phenomenal. The crust is some of the best I ever had before. You can taste the difference of sourdough in the first bite.

If you are on the island at all this summer, you have to give Bakeria 1010 a stop. It was some of the best pizza I have ever had!
