“We just tried Giddy’s Toms River last night and to quote my son the pizza was “NEXT LEVEL”. Couldn’t have said it better! These guys know what they are doing and don’t play games! Pizza was incredible! Just had to share so others can be in the know! Enjoy!“

“Verace is my go to frequently, their wraps are delicious, I recommend the buffalo chicken wrap with your choice of fries or onion rings, and a MUST try is their Grandma thin crust Sicilian square cooked to a perfect golden crust, topped with plum sauce, fresh mozzarella and torn basil. You will love this one! Owners and employees are great, you can't go wrong with anything off their menu. Give them a try!“

“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 😋👌🏼☺️“

“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 ???“

“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.“

“Very New York. Loved it. Sicilian the best. Friendly staff.“

“We had the pizza today it was excellent, great crust, very good sauce and lots of cheese. The warm and toasted bread was awesome!!!😋 We’ll be back again and will try the dinners. Highly recommend“

“The Chicken Scarpiello and Chicken Giovanni pasta dishes are absolutely amazing! Today was our first visit. We will be back. Our son recommended this place. We see why. Friendly staff and excellent service.“

“Brick Oven is amazing! I had my, now fiance, surprise 40th birthday there (which turned into a surprise proposal) everyone raved about the food!! We usually don't do left overs, but what was left over- we will definitely be eating! Collin was fantastic! He was very accommodating and helpful. The girls were fabulous! Very polite, sweet and never once gave me a dirty looks with all my crazy requests lol. My sister in law was the only one who needed GF and Collin made sure she got her own plate, and told me was was the better tasting GF plate they offered. She said that was THE BEST GF pasta she has had. Their service was so great, my now fiance, made sure to take care of them ontop of what I tipped them! Guest from our party were asking Collin to open up a place in Monmouth County! And asking if they would deliver there! My family and friends (who are from Monmouth County) are talking about going back there again! I will 100% recommend Brick Oven because the food was out of this world, service was top notch and everyone was so great! The only thing was it got a little hot inside, but we also had a party of 40 people.. so everyone kinda understood why it was so hot. But other then that, everything went perfectly! Thank you so much Brick Oven and staff for a very memorable day!“

“It’s the best pizza on this planet“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We are beyond grateful to Pies on Nine South for their incredible generosity and quick response during our Staff Appreciation Week luncheon. After unexpectedly running out of food, they stepped up without hesitation—donating enough delicious food to feed the rest of our staff and having it ready in just 30 minutes! The service was fast, friendly, and truly above and beyond. Thank you for supporting our school and helping us celebrate the amazing teachers and staff who give so much every day. We’ll absolutely be ordering from you again! Highly recommend this place—not just for the great food, but for the amazing people behind it! 💚“

“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!“

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

“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 !“

“We have ordered some del6food for dinner, chk marsala, chk parm hero/sub, balsamic chk salad. We lived in ny until recently & we have tried other pizzeria/ italian cooking here we never had a bad meal or service. I highly recommend Schianos.“

“If you are in the Toms River area this is a hidden gem. Real NYC style pie! Food is great and very authentic Italian feel especially the dinners. Pictures of Venice posted all over which is a nice touch. The dinning area has arches and beautiful photos of famous actors and famous Italian stars. In fact the owner is Italian and born in Italy. Apparently the owner Vinnie was the original owner of Cafe' Napoli in Shoprite Plaza in Manchester & La Gondola in Lakehurst making pies for over 20 years! In fusing years of experience "That's Amore'' is his best version of a Pizza Trattoria Italiana. Every time, you come in the owner Vinnie is so welcoming and such a nice guy! Always asking you how you are? Or how's the family? Did I mention Vennie is straight Italy? You can always here Italian spoken here. My Phil brother worked as a delivery driver a few years ago during college and said its like a family when working there. Your always welcomed back. All the staff is super nice never had a problem in the going there for more then a 2 and a half years now. Not an overly expensive place and not cheap food at all. Great to book for the holidays like Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, New Years, or a personal occasion you wont be disappointed. Even if they make a mistake, they are always pretty good & willing to make it correct for you. Usually giving you a free pie or order, if they mess it up. Great Quality pies! Give them try!“

“People always sleep on this pizza joint.....Been going to this joint for decades....The pizza is different from all the competitors once you try it you'll understand what I mean "TASTY AND FRESH".....The Sauce Is Like No Other....Bayville Original !! Highly Recommend 💯“

“Great food and service and prices! Can’t wait to go back!“

“First time here in the never ending quest to find the best Italian food. Mia’s did not disappoint. Pictured is the baked ziti Siciliano. Eggplant really made this dish perfect.

Place looks like it was recently renovated as the booths and tables are all pretty new. Very clean dining area.

Will definitely go back and see if the pizza is as good…“

“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...“

“Rondos is my family's favorite local spot. Everyone in my family has a favorite item to get from there. The cheese steaks are great, the Buffalo wings are awesome. My little ones love the white pizza w/tomatoes & brocoli. The pasta dishes are also great. We've been thru the entire menu and have always been very pleased. Plus it's a family run spot, which I have appreciation for. Great people. Great spot.

Good to know this pizza still values their customers enough to add an affordable pizza special for us people that are struggling to make ends meet in this economy. The lady who works the counter on Mondays is always so polite and friendly too!“
