50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Ocean Gate

“Our pizza adventures continue and we found ourselves at the Anchor Inn a few nights ago. The place was full of families and friends enjoying a varied menu. We came for pizza but ended up ordering an appetizer and salad. Everything was very good! Service was fast and attentive. There’s an accessible entrance. Street parking was easy, but there’s also a parking lot. The place is probably a madhouse in the summer, but we had no trouble getting a table.“

“Stormy weekend and was really in the mood for some soup. Decided to try Linda's. Let me just say, they have the best pasta fagioli I've ever had! Delicious! We also had their chicken noodle soup and that was fabulous also. This will definitely be my go to soup place when I don't have time to cook at home.“

“We're new to the area and heard Espo's was a good place to try. We were not disappointed! We noticed an item was missing from our order. When I called to let them know, I didn't even get a chance to say hello. They said "we know we forgot an item and we're making you a fresh batch and on our way" They even threw in a dessert! BTW, the food was great and the cannloli was even better...“

“Ate there for the first time. 0rdered their Children Parm Dinner. Another member of my party had the Eggplant Parm Dinner. They serve it with homemade bread. The food was tasty and moist. The sauce is not runny and tastes fresh. The meat was tender. Their portion size is large. The chicken was one large piece. Not 2 very small pieces hidden under a lot of cheese and sauce. The gentlemen that were running it were very friendly. It is a small store with great food and service. The serve a variety of food from pizza, calzones and heroes. The store is well lit and clean.“

“I’ve been going here for about 7 years. The owner is so kind to EVERYONE, staff always provides amazing service and the FOOD is so delicious. Prices are so reasonable as well. That right there is why I will forever get my pizza here. Thank you all for being so attentive, quick and kind“

“Love, love the thin crust pizzas here (although it seems we have 100+ pizza restaurants in Brick). I have only dined in for lunch, etc., but the staff is beyond friendly and always provide exceptional service, paying a lot more attention than usual to the people dining in.“

“Half our order was to be vegan and both vegan dishes had errors, but were both quickly addressed and fixed by staff, who were all amazing. The veggie vegan pie was SO GOOD and I love that it was stacked with veggies. I would definitely order again!“

“Rockin Robyn from the Wrat radio highly recommended Slice House . Well we gave it a shot . By the way I only get pies from Capones Gourmet Pizza . I am a Pizza snob but we order a Sicilian Special and a large chicken parm sandwich Oh my God let me tell ya that pie was to die for . I haven't had a pie like that since I lived in North Jersey. 2 of us devoured that pie . It was delicious. Yous guys have a new regular. Us seniors deserve a good pie . Thank you again and even though our delivery dude forgot the soda . He was awesome ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This is a very friendly, very welcoming local bar with a good selection of food. Nothing fancy, but this is not a fancy place. It's come as you are, relax and feel at home. You won't be disappointed, but you won't be thrilled either, this is good hardy fair at its best.“

“Just driving buy and I totally lucked out pulling into this place. It's a very quaint dining room with only 5 - 4 top tables in the front with an additional dinning room inside. The gentleman behind the counter greeted me immediately with a big smile and was happy to help! I ordered a small chefs salad, a slice of pie, and an ice cold vanilla cream soda! Delicious! Food was great, and the service was fast. I will be back.“

“Oh my God! My sister ordered delivery for my birthday and it was the BEST chicken francese, omg so delicious. Delivered hot, fresh, friendly and fast. amazing salad, amazing blue cheese dressing PIZZA IS FABULOUS!!! Calzone delicious everything cooked to perfection! This place is ON POINT.“

“My boyfriend and I have been coming here pretty frequently for a month now. We created our own version of pizza…Grandma Style Marguerita Pizza with bruschetta on top. Fusaros is great because they made it absolutely perfect and tastes amazing! Hopefully they add it to their menu for other people to try. Never a bad meal from there.Sometimes we will order the Chicken Mimma or Pasta Mimma…both delish and tasty and very helpful serving!Give them a try!“

“I have eaten tons of pizza in all my years. For some reason I fell in love with pizza from Sal's Italian restaurant. And I had gotten and antipasto that was absolutely my favorite again. Thanks to the crew, Sal and the gang. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I've been getting my pizza from them for about 7 years and there's a reason for that. It's great food! Their chicken parm pizza is our favorite. Also love the grandma's pie. We always get the rice balls. They are fantastic. Service is great. Everyone is always super nice. I've never had an issue.“

“Cheese steaks are phenomenal,pizzas are great,wings are fantastic! My daughter on her birthday even requested "potatoes pizza"(tomatoes pizza) we've tried other places with pizza,wings and cheese steaks in Lacey and it never compares to Tomatoes Pizza. And the Fatty Joey is to die for.“

“Table 13 with JanineLadies and Gentlemen,This is still a service industry. We couldn't have been reminded of this more until we had dinner tonight. We love Shady Rest for the food(any chicken or fried scallops should always be considered) but for the most part, the dining experience has usually been random, at best. Tonight, we had the pleasure of being seated in Janine's section, and we've never had a finer experience at Shady Rest. Janine was The Best! Everything came out correctly and we never waited for a refill. We will be back soon on a Saturday night to sit in Janine's section.“

“I am a huge fan of chess and I go on weekends and never win against Carlos I done lose to anyone else that I play with that being said I know I far from the best but I'm pretty good if I must say so. Go try your luck and maybe I catch you “

“Pan pizza with meatballs was excellent! Wife had penne with Alfredo, she loved it. Definitely ordering again!!!Vegetarian options: Just mentioned when ordering. Very accommodating. Penne w/ Alfredo, and french fries. Garlic knots were not soaked in oil, but had a nice crust on top, like a garlic parmesan paste!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The greatest food in Toms River at a fantastic value. Teresa, Eduardo, Gennaro, and the whole gang treat you like family the moment you walk in. Authentic Mexican AND Italian both done right. Very warm and comfortable atmosphere. Worth a try and I don't think you'll be disappointed. *tip* try the tacos!“

“The go-to pizza place for me and the family. Great variety of pizza and their dinners are also very good. The portions of the dinners are very large for the prices. There is minimal in seating in the pizza place so I recommend to go ordering.“

“First time, went with my wife sat at the bar on a Saturday afternoon.Lunch Specials fantastic. Beer offerings nice. Prices of everything well within GREAT.Service at the bar by a French girl named Barday... also known as Nicole. Extraordinary personality and efficiency. Everything and more one would want in a bartender.Highly recommend.“

“Not only was the Mac and Cheese AMAZING, my husband loved the pizza. The service, in particular, Jackie, was wonderful and sweet and the manager was attentive and very warm. Prices make sense and are reasonable for the quality of the menu and dishes, and if you don't eat kosher, still worth a stop! Kid friendly but still nice for date night. 10/10“

“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!“

“Amazing amazing food. Last Saturday we had a baby shower with 60 people and had all of our food catered from Lts. Honestly my first thought was , it’s a pizza shop. I’m so glad we sampled the food and had take out 2 nites and was completely impressed. We went in talked with the owner and her professional staff.They helped us with ordering the amount of trays we would need for the amount of peop. The best decision I have made. Lts is game changer for any party I will host or attend We had chicken finger w/fries, baked ziti, chicken marsala, sausage peppers and onions, chicken parm and eggplant rolatini. Everyone raved how great the food was. Thank you very much Lts for these amazing dishes.“

“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...“

“First time my husband and I were there. Very friendly staff, and the food was amazing. We had volcano shrimp for appetizer. Bread with olive oil to dip..I had the lazy day grouper with spinach. The best I've ever had. My husband had pretzel crusted pork chops which was also very good. So happy we went and had the most delicious dinner. Looking forward for the next time. It's our new favorite place!“

“Don't know why we waited so long to try this place! Holy cow! We haven't had anything yet we didn't love. The chicken parm sandwich on garlic bread is to die for. We haven't tried the pizza yet but it looks amazing. Only off-putting thing to us is that there's ricotta on the chicken parm pizza which imo is just icky. You don't put it in the dish or the sandwich so why on the pizza? But it's ok. Just say the word and they won't put it on. That will most likely be how we roll. Can't wait to try it!“

“We've eaten here a few times. We were invited to a party here and liked the food so much that we went back for lunch. Anytime we're in the area we make our way in. Love the homemade Penne vodka, stuffed cheese Gnocchi, Buffalo calamari and caeser salad“

“What perfect timing for pizza on the Boardwalk. The day was warm and gorgeous, the beer cold and the pizza was crispy and delicious. Just for fun, we added an Italian Hot Dog with the works and a very generous order of fries.This place gets crowded in the summer, but today there was no wait. Street parking was easy and free (until April). There’s bingo every Sunday. The hostess and waitress were friendly and attentive. It was super fun! We walked the boardwalk afterwards.The restaurant is accessible, one can also order at the windows and take the food to nearby tables.“

“Hands down best pizza in South Jersey and I don’t say that loosely. The quality and taste of the pizza is not like any other pizzeria around here. Whatever they do or use to make their pizza sets them apart from the rest. You’d have to go to the boroughs to get anything that taste as good. Very “

“This place had the best pizza I've EVER had. It was so amazing! The seafood pasta was also amazing. When I come back to Seaside, I,m 100% only eating here. The restaurant has really nice outdoor sitting. The staff was really nice. It's one of the best restaurants I've EVER been to. If you are ever in the area, you HAVE to come here!“

“My first experience dining in at Mia's Pizza exceeded my expectations. I originally came to try their pizza, but was surprised to hear of their crispy Chicken BLT wrap and decided to give it a try. Every aspect of that culinary masterpiece is worth every penny. Easily the best crispy Chicken BLT wrap I've ever had the pleasure of devoring.“

“My family and I absolutely LOVE Mimmos Pizzaria. Anything you order is out of this world!I order things like mozzarella sticks just to get a little cup of the sauce. It is so darn good! One of my favorite items to get is the garlic knot grilled chicken with red peppers, fresh mozzarella, and balsamic glaze. I think we have tried just about all of their pizzas and I can't pick a favorite on that so can't answer that question. Ha ha ha very clean, very friendly. The staff is always on it. This is one of those businesses that genuinely care about their customers...one quick story on how good they are as people in general, my father-in-law passed away Christmas Eve a few days later..two trays of food showed up at my house that we did not order, we couldn't figure out where it came from. No one was claiming it & it wasn't paid for. It was fairly pricey, but Mimmo( the owner) refused to let us pay for it! He gave us the two trays of food, and asked nothing in return! This is why family owned small businesses are what should be running this world instead of large corporations that don't care. They will always be our number one Pizzaria. Best around! (That's also coming from a New Yawka haha -NY).“

“Stopped in here randomly and was pleasantly surprised. Best food I've had down here in a while. Got a chicken cheesesteak and mozzarella sticks, both delicious. Was greeted as I walked in and thanked on the way out. Highly recommended.“

“I really like the pizza at this place. I often order the plain cheese pie. Their specialty pizzas are good too and they have beer battered onion rings. The mozzarella sticks are good too they have the crispy ones.Parking: They have a few spots up front so you can run in quick“

“The best pizzeria in Brick to grab a slice or sit down for a fire dinner. The pepperoni and sausage was exactly what a meat lovers pie should be. Also, the owner made my pie and was very friendly and accommodating to anything we needed. Love when the guy making the dough is the guy making the dough ?“

“I just placed an order for delivery and WOW! I have to say best service from the guy on the other end of the phone and phenomenal food! 10/10! Thank you guys so much!?✨?Kid-friendliness: The person I spoke to on the phones kindness went above and beyond. His charisma definitely didn’t go unnoticed! His motto was we never say no?❤️✨“

“Darts! Tuesday Bingo! Fair claw machine! Family Friendly during the day/early evening. Night time is a fun place for adults. Sports bar vibe. Friendly staff. Lots of menu options.Kid-friendliness: Claw machine, coloring pages, kids menu, older kids were allowed to play darts as we were there well prior to the night life scene began.“

“I thought this place was going to be some Rinky dink Pizza spot with cheap greasy food and it turns out that this place is a super good sleeper spot. I had lunch here and was very impressed with the service and quality of food. The only thing that needs working on is the restaurant itself and atmosphere.“

“Can’t wait to go back and try other dishes but first I have to give the chef props for making delicious food. The pizza and the calamari was so fresh and delicious. We also tried the chicken franchise and boy it was so good that I forgot to take a photo of it. Nicole was our friendly server. I’m going back for my birthday next week and can’t wait to try other dishes and hopefully ear some good karaoke.“

“I am telling you if you went an authentic Italian Dinner this is the place to go. Stop going to the big names restaurants and over paying for mediocre food. This restaurant and Chef Umberto never disappoints. Give it a try you and I promise you will be never go elsewhere.“

“They win the boss of the sauce competition all the time, well deserved. They never mind all our strange requests and modifications which is a must for our family. Great pizza, sub, entree dinners, appetizers, zeppolis, never got a bad dish. Chicken tenders are actual strips of breaded chicken breast and not the frozen kind, so it's a must on every order, with the marinara for dip is best way.“

“Our family tried this restaurant after seeing their coupon in the local paper. Wow! Were we ever glad we did. Each pizza we purchased was as good as the last. Our favorite is Sicilian, the best, a real highlight to top off our day. Owner is very friendly and very accommodating. We on a scale of five stars we give it a six!“

“Love the gf pizza!Dietary restrictions: I've had their gf pizza a couple times, and it's one of the better kinds I've found. Plus I've never gotten sick from it, so they must be careful about cross contamination over there.“

“I have had food from here plenty of times. I have always enjoyed it - my absolute favorite is the Buffalo chicken pie w blue cheese! The crust is always perfectly cooked and it's not super messy. They delivered very quickly and I like all the different options on their menu. Highly recommend.Dietary restrictions: They offer cauliflower pizza !“

“For years and years I always intended to try the food here. I came last week for the first time ever and came back again today because it was absolutely delicious! The food and service here is really fantastic. We had a pizza and wings in the dining room; the crust was crispy, it had the perfect amount of toppings and tasted delicious. I truly regret having not come here sooner. It’s our new favorite pizza joint.“

“This location is very close to an over 55 community so during the day it's mostly older men it's quiet. There is a bar. They serve snack type foods..lots of machines and a few tellers. If you're looking for a night life kind of place...this is not it. But if you want a nice clean place to wager in peace this is a good choice.“

“My wife and I recently moved into the Brick area, and I pass the restaurant weekly. In doing some research<, I saw that they have a very interesting menu and several specials on Monday nights. My daughter and granddaughter were here visiting with us, so we gave it a try. Service, food, server and music were great. Will definitely be back.“

“I have got take out twice from this restaurant when passing by due to work. I cannot explain how flavoursome the food is. Both times it’s been fantastic and hoping we can eat in one day soon. The garlic bread today was the best garlic bread I have ever eaten. Great portion sizes and lovely friendly service.“

“I go to House of Pizza every Thursday around 2:00 p.m. . It's a nice place for me to grab a quick slice and a drink while my mother is next door at Sarah's salon getting her hair done. You can go pretty much around any corner and you'll find another place to get a pizza. I am by no means a connoisseur but I do know what I like. I enjoy his pizza very much but would appreciate if he had fountain drinks instead of canned and bottle drinks to go with it. That being said what I enjoy about this place is that the owner Pasquale always engages me in conversation asking how are my mother and I are doing. That to me somebody who cares about their customers. I'm not a local, I drive here to bring my mother to get her hair done. There's a sign on his door today that says he won't be open for a while as he's recovering from surgery. My best wishes to him for a speedy recovery and a profitable future. Remember people support your local businesses. The chain stores make enough money. These are hard-working Americans, just like you and me, that deserve our support.“
