Tagged: jalapeno, New JerseyPosted on: August 9th, 2007“Six years ago, Mark Marroquin opened a pizza parlor at First Street and Clifton Avenue in Lakewood. Today his best seller is a pie topped with jalapenos, Spanish sausage, onions and beans. He calls it La Pizza Oaxaquena.
“I thought, nobody puts beans on their pizza,” the 37-year-old Mexican entrepreneur said.
Ever since a housing boom and lower rents started luring thousands of Hispanic workers to New Jerseys central and southern regions, business owners like Marroquin have thrived.”
