Pescada is preparing to open a new Italian dairy restaurant in Jackson Township, bringing an expanded version of its Brooklyn concept to Ocean County. The opening marks another addition from the same ownership group behind several coastal-style kosher restaurants in Brooklyn and Lakewood, and represents their second restaurant serving the Lakewood and Jackson area, following Burdoux on Cedarbridge Avenue.
The Jackson Township location is designed as a larger-scale adaptation of the existing Pescada concept, maintaining the same Italian dairy focus while significantly increasing seating, amenities, and overall footprint.

A Familiar Concept, Built for Scale
The new location follows the same Italian dairy model as Pescada’s Brooklyn restaurant, offering the same core concept and menu structure, but executed in a substantially larger space. The design prioritizes capacity and flexibility, supporting both regular dining and high-volume service for groups and events.
The ownership group operates multiple kosher restaurants across the tri-state area, including Pescada in Brooklyn and Burdoux in Lakewood, both of which have established a footprint in large-format dairy dining with coastal influences.
Menu and Beverage Program
Pescada in Jackson Township will offer a full Italian dairy menu consistent with the Brooklyn location. A brick oven is part of the kitchen design, supporting Italian-style pizzas as a central part of the menu.
The restaurant will also feature a full sushi menu, anchored by a raised sushi bar integrated into the main dining room. An Italian coffee and café program is included, offering espresso-based drinks and café-style service. A full bar operating under a liquor license is also part of the concept.
Seating, Layout, and Private Events
The restaurant spans approximately 8,000 square feet and is designed to seat roughly 350 guests. During warmer weather, the outdoor dining area will offer more than 60 additional seats. A large private party room is built into the layout, allowing the restaurant to accommodate events and group functions alongside regular service.
This combination of indoor dining, seasonal outdoor seating, and dedicated event space places Pescada among the larger Italian dairy restaurants in the region.
Opening Details
Pescada is expected to open within the next two to three weeks, targeting a late January or early February 2026 debut.
Pescada is located at 109 N County Line Road, Jackson Township, NJ 08527. The restaurant is an Italian dairy establishment. Hours of operation and kosher certification details have not yet been publicly announced.
