Ive ordered from here 4 times and the food is really good however the service is not. The first time I called to place an order for delivery the man who answered actually said "Oh my God!" with an attitude under his breath. When I asked him if there was a problem he said "No". I think it was actually the owner cause he is who actually delivered my food in his Mercedes and apologized for being rude and excused it on being busy. Since he apologized and I like their food I decided to give them another chance and every time Ive ordered they have tried to say they dont deliver to my address cause its too far. (I live in Holmdel) and told them that theyve delivered before so they reluctantly delivered. I asked for chicken milanese and the lady who answered this time said she didnt know what that was so I literally had to say "Its breaded chicken cutlet". Then she gave the phone to someone else. Similar situation the next time I called as well. Well, just 5 minutes ago was the last time we TRIED to order only to be immediately told that they arent delivering and they hung right up. It is rude and unprofessional and if you claim to offer delivery then you should deliver. Its pretty simple. Also, maybe work on being polite and happy for the business cause now we are done ordering from here and its really a shame because we enjoyed your food. I will now be leaving a review on Yelp as well. I should have done this the last 4 times but kept giving the benefit of the doubt that next time the service would be better but thats obviously not how they do business.

9:30 Friday night, not another customer in sight.. Place smelled like lysol, vaccuum going, and barley any lights on, i passed by twice before looking at google Earth to find it.. Rude service or no service actually, had to ask for knife and fork.. I even told the guy I wouldnt bother them sitting at a table, I would eat in the car. AN HOUR B4 THEY CLOSE I FELT LIKE AN INTRUDER AND GOT TREATED LIKE ONE! Small portions. Light taste, watered down sauce or my pasta wasnt strained long enough.. Overcooked pasta wirh a freezer store bought taste.. but cheese was awesome on chicken. $28 plus $7 top for carryout! for chic parm over tortellini, no salad, old hard bread. And no butter. 3 paper bags are hard to carry out with a soda my purse in hand , guy, thanks for no offer to help or put in a box or plastic bag..and thanks for turning my great mood into a shi*ty one. NO THANKS OR A SMILE, .. Nothing.. EVEN AFTER A LARGE TIP I know he saw because he was adjusting tips on the cc machine instead of servicing his only customer. Merry Christmas my a*s

One time I called for an order of a large half plain half mushroom pie and a 2 liter bottle of diet coke and it took the over an hour to deliver it and they still screwed my order up. Also my family went to eat in there and they service from the waitress was appalling. She was always talking with someone and it took her ten minutes just to get us water! Then she constantly fight our order and even didnt give us spoons when we ordered soup. I would not recommend coming here unless you want bad service.

If youre very hungry it works. Wouldnt go out of my way to get here. Pizza quality is so so. Sauce seems generic as is the cheese. Topping choices are plentiful and the crust is very crispy all around which is good.

The pizza is outstanding, light airy crust, fresh quality ingredients, delicious sauce. Havent eaten anything else here but if the other dishes are anything like the pizza I cant wait for a shrimp parmigiana diner.
