The popular Asbury Park Boardwalk summer eatery Hoagitos will celebrate opening its second location in Belmar Plaza Saturday.

Known for its gourmet take of traditional sandwiches in mini form, Hoagitos has been in operation for three years at the end of Third Avenue boardwalk entrance.

Owners Terence McGill, Mark and Emma Spagnuolo [and their new addition to the family] will host a grand opening complete with the ceremonial ribbon cutting, live music, free fries, food specials and gift card giveaways, according to a news release.

“We love it here,” Mark Spagnuolo said. “Everyone from the borough council and the local business owners have been really welcoming. Since opening our doors [in May], we have met a lot of our neighbors and people in the community. Some of our loyal customers in Asbury Park have also come by to see the new location. To make things more interesting Emma just delivered our first child Madeline this past Wednesday. We hope she gets to meet everyone on Saturday.”

Hoagitos menu features their home roasted meats: brisket, chicken, roast beef, turkey, and sopressata are paired with fresh ingredients and their mayo blends – basil, creole, cilantro lime or roasted garlic.

“[We] strive to provide a deliciously fresh alternative to Asbury Park and Belmar’s beachgoers, residents and visitors, serving cooked-to-order hot and cold gourmet Hoagitos or mini-subs, in under a minute,” Emma Spagnuolo said. “With the addition of our year-round Belmar location, we are committed to bringing both Belmar and Asbury Park a high-quality, gourmet meal option that maintains the speed and easy eating factor expected from a fast casual restaurant, at a price that keeps the wallet happy.”

The Belmar location is open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and features not only their breakfast creations but also hot Hoagitos, grilled chicken sliders, salads, soups, fries and other sides, as well as combo meals.

The Belmar Hoagitos is located at 807 Belmar Plaza. For more information visit www.hoagitos.com, and for catering or pickup orders call Asbury Park: 732-361-5454 or Belmar: 732-556-6617.
