Have You Ever Had A Jersey Mustard Pie? Here Are 9 Places To Try One

Oh, but don't be so quick to judge my gluten-loving friend. You see for over 100 years the New Jersey Mustard Pizza Pie has been a staple of many western Jersey communities. Guess what, it's exactly what you might think. They squirt a layer of mustard right on the dough before baking! I have to tell you I have been dying to try one of these for years!

So, I started doing a little investigating on where to even find a place that makes this super special spiced-up slice. Well, I found out more than that! As first reported on the website Jersey Bites, there's quite a history.

According to folklore, decades ago, an intoxicated customer walked into a pizzeria in the Chambersburg section of Trenton and slurred his order. The questionable local lore suggests that the pizza guy misheard mushroom for mustard and obliged. Thus was born the Trenton Mustard Pie, the unexpected offspring of the Trenton Tomato Pie.

Meanwhile, nowadays you will see mustard pies being made with equal parts tomato sauce and mustard. Plus pies that are just made with a mustard base, then cheese then the sauce, like a traditional old-school tomato pie.

Seriously, we have some kick-ass pizza places on our side of the state. Can't there be one or two that do a good spicy brown or French yellow pie? Am I crazy? Ok don't answer that, but do let me know if you know any or have ever heard of a local Jersey Shore Pizzeria or restaurant that makes A mustard pie. I'd like to try it and save the gas to Trenton. Although I'd probably still go.

The oldest continuously family-owned pizza restaurant in the United States. Opened in 1912, and the torch bearer of the original Mustard Pie. Even though some say the recipe was just brought there by a rival pizza shop's ex-employee.

Another Trenton Tomato Pie staple that makes a mean Mr. Mustard. Multiple locations in the western part of the state, as well as eastern Pa. They can also send your friends and family around the country frozen mustard pies!

Great prices and a legendary steak sandwich put this place on the map. However I'm told they do a fantastic Mustard Pie, and for only 6.99 for a bar pie, worth a try!

Since 1962 a go-to place for the locals in the area. I know their pizza and so much more. Open til at least 11 p.m. seven days a week, so you can always get your Mustard Pie fix in.

I have to admit, I had to look up where the hell Hainesport is. East of Willingboro, west of Lumberton. Yeah I'm lost too. Apparently this is a dynamite place for cheesesteaks, but they have their mustard pie faithful.

Two locations, with another in Pennington. Traditional Mustard Pie, according to their menu: Chambersburg Favorite. Roasted garlic, red onions, pancetta, fresh basil, evoo.

A big-time favorite of the locals. This establishment has been partnered up with the Slice app for 8 years now, longer than most, making it easier to score your Mustard Pie!

Just look at this beauty!

Travel north to the town of Verona near Montclair for this Mustard Pie. The thing that sets this one apart is it comes on an Everything Bagel Crust! Yummo!

This place just off Route 28 in Central Jersey offers a mustard pie with sausage. From their menu: spicy brown mustard, a special blend of mozzarella, sausage out of the casing, and topped with drizzled homemade pizza sauce & pecorino romano. Thin crust cooked in a pan.
