If they don't have it in stores near you, you can buy it directly from their bakery in Williamsburg.

346 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11211
Phone: (718) 384-4899

I found that Monsey Matzah Bakery matzos are not thin but not hard to chew. I like their taste best.

I bought Skvere Matzos today at Bingo, 2 pounds, for 29.99 (a steal)

Theyre NOT thin. Theyre from the heavier(edited) heaviest Matzahs Ive tasted. Buy them only if you like heavy, hard to chew Matza.

Kerestirer WW is quite thin.

Pupa (regular) is extremely thin.

Update:

I wanted to see the weight per similar size piece of Matza.

The Skvere weighed double all the rest, and are really hard to chew.

The Pupa weighed the least.

Kerestir Whole Wheat was the runner up, in thinness and lightness. Kerestir regular was similar. Maybe it was the Matza I chose that made me feel that the WW was slightly thinner/lighter.

It's pupa bakery. Skver uses their facilities & has their own bakers & hashgacha. Skver matzos are boards, thick hard to chew. Usually heimishe men baking. They usually run about $40 a lb.
Pupa matzos are known to be paper thin & are cheaper.
Depends on your preference.
Kerestir I think uses the same bakery.

Pupa Matza and Skver are worlds apart, opposites, so looks like its technique that counts.

2023 Update.

2 taste-testers said today that the 2023 Kerestir Whole Wheat is brick heavy and unchewable.


I loved it in previous years.
