New Jersey’s pizza industry is trending away from slices and toward whole pies, and we don’t like it! Look, we're not saying pizza slices are an endangered species. But when Coniglio’s King of Pies, arguably 2026’s most anticipated New Jersey pizzeria, opened in Asbury Park, it did so with a long menu of pies and a proclamation. “No slices. Whole pie or no pie.” More and more pizzerias are going away from slices and serving pies only. This inspired NJ.com to write a story on the matter and to do a whole story on the matter. Host Jeremy Schneider is joined by Mike Bergemann of Corner Slice to break down the business of why more pizzerias are going pie-only, the science of a good slice, the cultural importance of the slice shop and why Corner Slice still serves slices. Then Mike goes through the Garden State Gauntlet, pizza edition!
