I don’t know anyone that does a clam pie in JC but I’d love to hear if someone knows the spot you’re thinking of. I’ve started making my own because it’s hard to find on menus!

If you’re willing to go to Staten Island — Lee’s Tavern and Denino’s both have great clam pies. I think Lee’s is the best for clam pies but heads up it’s a bar pie style.

These are my go-to's for a good Clam Pie. Lee's Tavern is right next to the Dongan Hills SIR stop if you don't have a car and feel like taking a long public transit adventure.

And Denino's is very close to the Bayonne Bridge, so pizza-seekers could also potentially have a nice adventure taking light rail to the end of the line in Bayonne, and then walking over the bridge, which has a pedestrian walkway, and then on to Denino's. Good way to burn off the calories on a sunny day, haha.

Though they're both great, and Denino's is probably my favorite overall, I do think Lee's has the better clam pie. My favorite at Denino's is the MOR - a red sauce pie with meatballs, onion and ricotta on top. So good. Lots of great pizza on SI.
