50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Monmouth Beach

“Food is always great a Gianni’s. I guess a lot of people feel that was because wait time is long.“

“The food was great, the atmosphere was excellent. Next time I'm back east, I'll be eating here again.“

“Great food! Lunch portion had me stuffed! I'll be back again!“

“Great food! The Burgers are amazing!!“

“Wow the pizza was amazing. Love the thin crust, the sauce was good. Just yummy. Next time I’d only order just pepperoni cause the bacon was just ok. We ordered an appetizer of fried ravioli (skip appetizers, just get pizza. Trust me) the vibes of the place were great after a day in the ocean.“

“Loved it! Best subs around. I'll be back for sure! Can't wait to try the pizza.“

“The hubby just brought home the most amazing pie, chicken vodka! It was thin and crispy with Great Vodka Sauce. Highly recommend!“

“This place was amazing.

The dough is something special. They let it ferment for 48 hours before baking. That makes it very light and easy to digest. It doesn’t feel heavy at all, and it tastes incredible.

We started with the eggplant stack. It’s basically an eggplant parmesan, just made in a lighter way — baked, not fried. It was fresh, flavorful, and really delicious.

The Caesar salad with salmon was excellent. The vegetables were fresh and crunchy, the Parmesan tasted great, the sourdough croutons were crispy, and the salmon was cooked perfectly.

We also had the harvest salad. It had a light lemon flavor and was seasoned really well. Very tasty.

Then we had the pizza — the mushroom truffle. It was delicious, but the best part was the dough. So light, crispy, and really, really good.

Speaking to the owner, Raymond, is a treat by itself. So very kind and humble, and you can tell he really cares about his craft.

Overall, this place is amazing. Highly recommended.

We spent a total of $138 for tow people and it was worth every penny.

JSOR, Cholov Yisroel, and Pas Yisroel.“

“We ate at Franny’s yesterday after attending a scouting merit badge class nearby. Everything was amazing. We communicated ahead of time to ensure they could accommodate our party of 16 and were able to place our order ahead of time too. Everything was seamless as we walked in with a table ready and the pizza immediately arrived fresh from the oven. The pizza was a perfect crispy thin crust and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. The staff was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“That’s is amazing pizza,very delicious! Thank you guys!!!“

“Had a Stromboli that was great ! Great service & the staff was great ! Looking forward to going to there new place in eatontown next to earth treasures !“

“Definitely the best cheesesteak I've had, since moving to the area from Philly. The only thing I would change is putting the meat and cheese against the roll instead of rhe tomato and lettuce against the roll and then the meat and cheese on too as it tends to fall out instead of fitting snuggly. But it was delicious! All the ingredients were fresh and yummy! Will definitely order from Peel again!“

“the crew is hilarious and they tell yall anything funny LOL“

“We ate here today. It was our first time. We loved the food and the atmosphere. It has an interesting history. Definitely worth the drive.“

“Would highly recommend for anyone who is vegeterian & vegan. We ordered the hummus & cauliflower as an appetizer. For the main course, we ordered the roasted eggplant & pesto pizza and margherita pizza. Both pizzas were fresh out the oven & delicious. I typically don't like eggplant, but the eggplant & pesto pizza was extraordinary. This restaurant is also great for anyone who is sober or doesn't drink - they have an excellent selection of mocktails!“

“Got a pepperoni slice and a coke for $6. Slice was pretty big, alot of cheese and a lot of pepperoni which made it too heavy for the crust so I had to fold it. Very greasy but that's from all the pepperoni so id rather it be greasy with a lot of meat then not as much. Definitely will go back“

“Our favorite…The Sauce! The most delish pizza. My daughter absolutely loves (and she is a picky eater with everything). There is no pie that they can’t make for you. And for me being gluten free, they always take care of me and my tummy! Prices are great, ingredients are fabulous. Most importantly…they give back to the community and take care of everyone. They are family to us all!“

“Delicious Authentic Pizza, Reminds me of NYC pizza in the 80’s. I will drive an hour again to have another slice of Heaven !“

“Incredibly delicious pizza. I’ve tried many around here over the years. Your pizza is by far the best. Crispy pepperoni, flavorful cheese and sauce. 10/10! That chicken parm pizza 🤤 wow. The appetizers weren’t always great but the pizza is sooooooooo good.“

“I grew up in Brooklyn so very few pizza shops in NJ can compare. Except this pizza shop! If you love a good pizza you must try their Grandma or Rustica. My wife is crazy about their gluten free white pie with broccoli and mushrooms. All their pies are made well done. Crispy crust and delicious toppings. I work nearby and my coworkers rave when we order lunch here. Special: 2 slices and a drink for $6!! You gotta try Luigi’s Square!!“

“Ate here with my family after a day at the beach. We were a loud hungry bunch and the pizza did not disappoint. The pizza was hot and very fresh and the sauce was delicious. It was not greasy and the crust was just the right amount of crunchy. We will definitely be back!! Highly recommend!!!“

“first week Enzo opened I ordered a cali cheese steak. it was so full of meat the lady gave me a fork. after that when the owner made the subs he barely put meat .“

“Went over to see the new and improved slices in the new location, brand new , clean, and the food is always delicious. Saw the owner wished him good luck on the new location. Shook my hand and said thank you back. Let’s not forget his years of service to raising the bar for the Jersey shore area. The manger Ron , the pizza chef Israel have always done whatever I ask for. Totally accommodating my family for 25 plus years. Always with a smile! No reason to look elsewhere ever again!! Thanks again and good luck 🍀!!!“

“There food and service is phenomenal! Highly recommend visiting!! We had the pleasure of eating their delicious food at the Stone Pony during a concert. The staff is so friendly and the food never disappoints!!“

“Been coming to the brothers for their amazing pizza for close to 30 years now. Hands down THE BEST Sicilian style pie in the area. IMO it can compete with famous big dogs like L&B. Vinnie and Ralph are local legends. You cannot go wrong with this Oakhurst crew.“

“Stopped at Val's Tavern because we had a 2 hour gap between a wedding and reception. Service was excellent and so was the food. Our server, Gabby, went above and beyond when we needed some Tylenol. HIGHLY recommend Val's!“

“Amazing amazing amazing amazing food! I am doing a happy dance“

“I am hoping it was just a fluke but got a pizza from here this past weekend and it just doesn't taste the same. I think the cheese mixture has changed or someone forgot some spice or something. I will try again since they have had the best pizza since Seaview mall.“

“Vegan or not, some of the best pizza I’ve ever had! It’s a must try but be sure to order early, they sell out in no time! Love all the staff, just great people making great pizza. Can’t wait for the next time!“

“Best food and pizza in moms County hands-down. The service is at 10. The pizza is incredible.“

“Great food, great people. W pizzeria overall, would recommend. Shoutout to my man Ryan.“

“Clean friendly and fun! Great for the family“

“Mangia was amazing!! I called at 11am this Sunday morning and they were able to accommodate 6 large pizzas to our house by 12:30!! The gaggle of cheerleaders were so very happy to have pizza after their game!! Thank you Mangia! 10 out of 10!!“

“They normally have as more thinner pizza, for their peppers and onion pizza, but today the pizza was a little thicker. So so good with the peepers and onions and with sausage onit. Very very good. I just wish the price was under $4 dollars, or I would have gotten 2 slices. Still was worth it for me though.

Wheelchair accessibility: I would say it is, since plenty of room to move around inaide.“
