6 Best Pizza Restaurants near Ocean

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

“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!!“

“UPDATE! As of May almost June 2026-

THIS IS STILL MY FAVORITE PIZZA SPOT!💪🏽 THEIR PIZZA SAUCE IS JUST UNMATCHED! 😍THE CHEESE IS MY FAVORITE EVEN THOUGH THE PEPPERONI IS BOMB TOO! PLUS THEIR OTHER DISHES ARE AMAZING TOO! NO NEED TO LOOK AROUND, ORDER ASAP!!!

Wish I can give more stars but I can’t. There food is the BOMB! Always fresh & delicious! They tell you 35-40 mins BUT they always come to our house within 20 mins. Love this place!!!! Our favorite pizza place from Michele & Victoria!“

“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.“

“Nick’s Pizza is hands down the best-tasting pizza in all of New Jersey! The crust is always perfectly baked, the sauce is rich and flavorful, and the toppings are always fresh and generous. Every bite reminds you why Nick’s stands above the rest. If you’re a true pizza lover, this is the place you need to try!“

“We’ve been going to Illiano’s nearly 36 years. It’s been great since day 1. We usually do takeout and find the pizza, subs and garlic knots to be the best in Monmouth County. When we moved out of town about 3 years ago we tried to find something that was comparable and closer, but that didn’t work out so make the trip back just about every Friday night. We highly recommend them!“
