“Today was Our first time at Pondrelli’s … honestly from the second we walked in Luigi was so warm and welcoming he even went over every slice and sandwich with my daughter and I. Which was amazing because I didn’t feel forced to choose something quickly like you do at most places. While we waited Luigi and Anthony both hung out and talked to my daughter and I. (We frequent pizzerias often and NO ONE does that.) They are very down to earth and nice people. Lol Even as we walked out my 10 year old was like that was super cool of them. Another plus all of the food we order was amazing!! We will definitely be back and recommending!“

“Pies Place is the best! I have been meaning to leave a review after my son’s birthday party. We ordered a ton of food and had to decrease our order by a lot last minute because of this spring weather. Our party was rained out so we didn’t really need anything. Chris was incredibly sweet and stated although they started making some of our order he would donate what we didn’t need. Not only was the pizza delicious, it was such a nice gesture all around. 10/10 recommend 😋👌🏼☺️“

“Really great pizza and nice staff/owner. We highly recommend! 🍕“

“My 3 year old is autistic and will only eat certain foods which are usually chicken fingers and fries, I recently ordered myself penne in vodka sauce with chicken and to my absolute surprise my son tried a piece of the pasta and ate a whole bowl!! The food is always so flavorful and delicious! Our favorite pizza so far is the Lucy Special! The bread is so light and soft and the meatballs are to die for!! I’ve lived in manahawkin for 3 years and you guys are always our first place to recommend and order from! Their desserts always taste so fresh and those cannolis and cheesecake are to die for!!!! Sincerely, Tackle Ave!“

“It’s the best pizza on this planet“

“Great thin crust pie & amazing cheese calzone. I asked for extra mozzarella in calzone & it was perfect! Sauce very good. Our first time & will now try their famous Grandma Pie. Definitely our new go to! Thanks guys!“

“Kept driving by this place and finally got to try it out last week. As a Chicago native, I can tell you this is what I've been looking for the past 3 years of living here. The crust does not explode in your mouth like a bunch of tiny little splinters, it's softer and doughy. The ingredients and cheese are not skimped out on either, they are fresh ingredients and plentiful at that. The only thing I would change is more sauce, but I can do that myself next order on my own. Leftovers microwaved is a no go but air fried it's just like it came out of the oven all over again. In a Jersey full of Luigi's, pick Marios, you won't be disappointed. I suggest adding the wings into your order as well, best take out wings I've had from a pizza shop, super crispy breading and juicy interior.“

“The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming! (: They were very knowledgeable about the LBI area as well. The spinach pizza was fresh, perfectly prepared and delicious! Generous amount of spinach, and the crust was crispy without being too thin or too thick. Pleasantly surprised by the portion of chicken tenders and fries. Great value for the price.The food was served quickly but didn’t feel rushed. We would definitely come back when in the area, and recommend to friends and family. The atmosphere of the pizza shop was very inviting, and has a hometown beach vibe to it. Sunset pizza went above and beyond to satisfy our needs!“

“One word…. BANGING. this place was soooo gooood!!!! We were in town for a wedding, and we saw that the one bite pizza guy rated them. So we figured why not. And we were NOT disappointed. The pepperoni pizza and garlic knots were out of this world. My only upset was not ordering more so that we could take some home to TN!“

“Everything was delicious. Priced great. Nice atmosphere. Great waitress“

“we just had my daughters 5th birthday party here and it was phenomenal. The staff was super friendly and the pizza was delicious. This was such a fun idea for a birthday party (pizza making) if you are looking for something unique. I can’t say enough wonderful things about the whole process - from booking to completion. Totally exceeded our expectations and will surely recommend to others. 10/10 for top notch service and quality!“

“Wow! What a nice surprise! Great food and hospitality that's rare today. Authentic delicious made-to-order food and exceptional service. As first-timers, we were treated to a taste of their outstanding penne vodka and a creme-filled zepole. Wowee! We'll be back for sure. BYOB ???“

“Excellent food, huge portions and reasonably priced. I highly recommend Maria's. You will not be disappointed!“

“Wow this place is the best in the area. Ask about the loyalty card and don’t take no for an answer 🤫 it’s the real deal.“

“Pretty sure we’ll never get pizza anywhere. So amazing to see a restaurant take “gluten free” seriously. Their gluten free pizza came on its own baking sheet to avoid cross contamination in the oven. They also didn’t cut it but instead delivered w w a plastic pizza cutter. Best part was the taste 💕. Kid approved. Thank you so much. Ordering again tonight !“

“Was dying to try the Detroit pie after seeing the photos in the print ad/menu, and it was delicious! The guy who took my order was so sweet, too, offering great feedback and explanations of the items. Delivery was quick for a Friday night, too.
Now, onto the star of the review: the pizza! The Detroit was delicious - the sauce, cheese and dough were all really good. Price was a bit high but really good pizza and would definitely order again!“

“I have been going to Marchioni’s for years! Actually the first restaurant I fell in love with from moving from California way back in the day. The chicken Marsala was always my go to favorite and now it’s my sons! My husband loves the homemade stuffed shells and now I’m in love with the salmon piccata and the pizza is always perfect! Yum, now I am thinking about it that’s going to be dinner tonight! The owners are amazing and so is the staff, one thing that stands out is the customer service, I recently came to pick up my order and the driver noticed I forgot my bag with salads and brought it to my house without me prompting it ( didn’t even know it was missing yet- and then it hit me to leave this long way overdue review) He made it to my house before I did! I really love love love Marchionis for the food but also for the amazing people making it all happen! Thankful to have them in our community! Andiamo Mangia!“

“I have recently been ordering from here, and let me tell you, high-quality food, has not disappoint... the shrimp scampi is 5 star restaurant quality, Bacon Cheese burger and Fries better than Dare I say burger 25.... fries fried to perfection.. Chicken Fran, omg that sauce could have drank it... Keep up the great meals... and less not forget delivery on point...“

“Excellent prices, large portions, always delicious, never disappointed. Highly recommend!“

“loyal customer for years but the order takers need to pay more attention to the orders over the phone.“

“I ordered a sandwich and wings yesterday and unfortunately by a pure accident my sandwich had the wrong peppers on it. I called just to let them know and with no hesitation they offered to make me a new sandwich. I wasn’t able to go back yesterday because of the time but they honored it today. I am so grateful and my sandwich is delicious. Friendly staff and great food. Definitely recommend!“

“Great experience overall. Friendly, helpful service. Placed the order over the phone, and it was ready earlier than expected. Price was good. We got a sub, canzone, mac & cheese, and zuchinni sticks. Always hard to compare when you're taking it home and not eating it in the restaurant, but the food was good. Sweet sauce. Would order from here again!“

“I just wanted to reach out & thank your staff on duty from Friday 8/18 Especially Rod/Ron the Manager (my apologies I don't remember his name exactly) for outstanding customer service! We were at the restaurant Friday evening. It was the last night of our family Seaside Vacation and our first time dining at The Sawmill. We were seated promptly(young hostess with curly hair and an air cast), drinks & food orders were taken very quickly(female server with dark curly hair and an accent). Our beverages came out in a flash, and our appetizers were moments behind. When my teenage son reached across for some tasty pretzel bites...he knocked his full orange soda into his lap (and shirt) , onto the floor, & even onto me! We sent him to the restroom to try and clean himself up while we motioned for help, we didn't want anyone to slip on the wet floor! Within seconds your staff responded in the best possible way. Your manager was mopping up the floor, our server was bringing a replacement soda, one of the ladies bussing tables hustled over with towels. By the time my son returned from the restroom my husband and I were discussing how to proceed (Run back to the house to change or by new clothes on the boardwalk) when Rod/Ron appeared on bended knee next to my son with Sawmill t-shirts in tow asking his size so he could change his shirt. My son initially refused because; it was "all his fault & he didn't deserve it" but; Rod/Ron persisted and convinced my son that these kinds of things happen to everyone. A point I was just making to my child, when my son heard this he accepted. The way your staff responded in the moment took what could have been an awful end to our vacation into a very bright spot because of how attentive and supportive your staff was. It means more than you will ever know. Please take a moment & thank your staffers on our behalf. Thank you, Monica, Andy, & AJ Mossey“

“Our current "post covid" go to restaurant esp since Carlos (and family) took over. Unfortunately, we have not been able to eat in since we are seniors with a couple of medical issues. Even so we are quite impressed with service & food entrées thus far. Salads are good and plenty of (olive oil) bread that is "fresh" unlike a couple of others in the area. We shall try eating in as soon as the flu/Covid/RSV, etc issues lead into a safer season. Recommend the Seafood a la Brother, Calamari and the Chicken Cacciatore.“
