Little Silver’s beloved Locale is opening a new eatery dedicated to its delicious pizza you already know and love! The popular Monmouth County restaurant is expanding its footprint right next door with Locale Pizzeria & Market, a brand-new concept set to open this fall 2026. The new location is set to offer a casual dining experience centered around pizza and Italian market favorites. Stay tuned to their Instagram and website for official opening announcements!

Locale’s current Little Silver establishment offers a family-oriented, upscale Italian dining experience, and is rooted in decades of family tradition and recipes. The restaurant recently expanded to add three smaller, pizza-focused locations within Livoti’s Old World Market’s Middletown, Brick, and Freehold locations.

I recently dined at their primary Little Silver location, situated near the train station, and had a fantastic experience, which, of course, included eating some of their delicious pizza. I can’t wait for the new Locale Pizzeria & Market to open for when I want a quick and casual slice! Their pizza is made with a brick oven imported from Italy, and they create classic and artisan pies using the freshest ingredients.

We ordered the Crispy Thin Vodka as a starter, and it was full of flavor and truly ultra thin! Locale offers a wide variety of signature pizzas, from their classic Napoletana, with Pomodoro, Fior Di Latte, Basil, and EVOO, to The Fig and Pig, topped with Baby Arugula, Fig Jam, Prosciutto, and EVOO. With 12 signature pizzas on the menu currently, there’s something for everyone! Their complimentary bread with whipped ricotta and insanely flavorful Eggplant Caponata dish accompanied our pizza to form a fantastic lineup of starters for the table.

After devouring our starters, we made our way to main entrees, specifically, their viral Lobster Cutlet, handmade Fusilli Vodka (still dreaming about this sauce), and highly-rated Nonna’s Chicken Parm. There’s always room for dessert, so we topped off the evening with some decadent sweet treats. Everything was absolutely delicious, and I look forward to my next dining experience to try more of their dishes.
