Pietro’s Pizzeria

Stay away from this place, food is always great and owner nick is awesome but service is awful seems like he brought his wife to waitress and she’s nasty disgusting human being. Husband and I have been coming for years and seen so many good people waitresses get pushed out by her insanity seems to be only one good one left Linda (we love her) but let’s see home much longer before wife puts her out. Smarten up buddy get rid of of witch bc food is amazing. So I’ll give it more stars on food alone and that’s it

Food is decent but the service is the worst! Waited over an hour for our food. The waitress never came to our table except to take our order. The bus boy brought our drinks, another waiter brought our meal, and a third person delivered our check! We were never asked if we wanted coffee or desert. The wait staff and owners are the rudest group of people I have ever encountered. In reading some previous reviews I can see I’m not alone. I only wish I’d read the reviews BEFORE we went. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!

P. S. From reading other reviews I was able to figure out that the rude waitress and «Nick» the owner are husband & wife! What a match!

Relative to other pizza spots in Manahawkin, this one is the best. Pizza was satisfying, raviolis were tasty, and side of buffalo wings were surprisingly good.

We had dinner at your place tonight and the food was delicious. However, the service was not so good. The waitress wasn’t friendly and less than attentive. Never once checked to see if we needed anything. We even waited way too long to pay. I just didn’t get a good feeling and won’t return.

I will first say that the food was pretty good. But honestly our server was terrible. She obviously didn’t want to be there and made that perfectly clear. There’s so many places to go in LBI that next time I want some nice Italian food I won’t be coming here.

Something has changed! The pizza is not the same. Was disappointed the last 2 times with the quality of the pizza, crust was thicker and lacked the overall crispness we enjoyed for so many years. Was informed they have new bubble bottom pizza pans that were supposed to make the crust better. Flash. .. go back to what was successful! No complaints with the rest of the food, just want my NY style pizza back. : — (

Recently visited for lunch. the food was top notch… fresh & very tasty .! The staff was another thing ! Our waitress was very rude ! We ordered a couple of bowls of soup that we wanted to share with our small children, waitress told us «no sorry we have no more bowls «…So we saw another waitress pass & we asked her for coffee mugs to put the soup in, she brings us bowls !!! The 1^st rude waitress saw this & started to yell at the poor young waitress n wouldn’t come back to our table to continue our tab she made the other girl handle us !!! Then the bill comes & we get charged $ 1.00 for «open food «??? She charged us for the bowls !!! Later we find out she’s the owners wife !!! Can’t believe what rude juvenile service we received, it’s a shame because the food is good !!!

Food is ok nothing to write home about but the staff is terrible! Rude and under trained

Fabulous food-​calamari appetizer (so much we couldn’t finish); chicken versuvio very highly recommended; pasta w/​broccoli very good; dinner salads with house dressing yummy; hot homemade bread (no words)! Whole bill under 42.00 — what a DEAL!

I was disappointed during my last visit. We had pizza but it was not up to its usual standard. Crust was a bit overdone and there was very little tomato sauce (and this was not supposed to be a white pizza) Hopefully this was a one off event. I weill go back but a repeat would drive me away forever.

the food is pretty good here, but the wait on a weekend is really long and unless its nice out they really have no inside waiting area. Although they welcome kids, they wouldn’t let us bring our infant son in his stroller and they have NO changing table in the bathroom. Since the LBI area is so family friendly it’s hard to choose this over other places. On the plus side it’s BYOB

Excellent pizza and great Italian food. Take out or eat in well worth it. The prices are fair and service is good. You cant go wrong here.

I recently spoke to, Nick, a manager of Pietros. He made arrangements with our family to hold and cater a memorial reception. After we had finalized all the plans he canceled the event. Over the years the service in the restaurant has diminished and I am convinced this is the worst customer service I hope to ever experience.

Living in Ocean County for 16 years and this has become my favorite Pizzeria/​Italian Restaurant in the County!!! Our recent meal for 6 of us was Lobster Ravioli in a crabmeat, Ravioli in Vodka Sauce with Shrimp and Chicken (Mike’s Special), Mussels with Angel Hair (How many pizzeria/​restaurants serve Angel Hair!!!), Eggplant (without skin like it is supposed to be) and the Stuffed Veggie Pizza. Fantastic!!!

Good food. Pizza is the best in manahawkin. Gets busy Thursday-​Saturday so plan accordingly.

For the money this is one of the best places in Manahawkin, The Mussels, Calamari, Clams appetizers are all great, pizza ia above average, great dinners, had the veal, chicken and sauge sandwiches. This is our go to place when we go out to eat. Enjoy!

this place is good, don’t listen to the couple bad reviews this place got, i mean Charles are you serious about south of toms river, if you think so then your crazy and move back up north. i have been living here my whole life and Pietros is one of my fav. there are a couple around here that are great. The only thin i wish Pietros did was deliver, that’s the only reason im giving it 4 stars instead of 5. Just stop in and get a slice doesn’t hurt to try it.

Overpriced. $ 40 for 2 pies with 2 or 3 toppings? Come on guys… the service was substandard. What’s up with all the crust on about 25% of the pie?
although, I have to say this is the best pizza place within a 10 mile radius of the ⁷²⁄₉ Corridor. At the same time, with the prices they charge, it’s a bit ridiculous. I can see it in the summer time as it’s a tourist trap, but cut the locals a break. I
Oh yeah. I placed an order the last time I was at my mom’s and when I went to pick it up — lo and behold, an order was never placed! I didn’t even get a sorry or we’ll make it right — had to wait another 20 minutes for burnt crust again. But your sauce and cheese is what keeps bringing me back, only when I’m in the 8 050 area.
Try other pizza parlors in the area — this one is OK, but for the aggravation I go through with them, Pizza Hut sounds better and better each time I come back.

Arguably the best pizza in Manahawkin (Beach Haven West residents will always push for Anthony’s), located in a run down strip mall. New York style pizza with a delicious sauce (not too sweet). Good sized slices from authentic Italians.
Also a great place to grab an Italian dinner or sandwich, all reasonably priced.
