A hole in the wall shop in the middle of Alpha. Walked in for a quick solid bite, left wanting to go back. The staff was friendly, and it seemed like a local gem. We sat down and it felt empty at first, then you blink and the place was packed. Seemed like the popular local lunch/dinner spot. Tons of menu options, great food and a home-cooked meal feel. Gave off a "homie" vibe. Would definitely recommend stopping in if you're in the area. We ordered the cheese fries, turkey sub, and a cheesesteak... raving reviews on all three! read more

So the 5 years I have been living in the area with my girlfriend. We have always ordered online. This is the first time we actually sat in there to eat. Just like the customer service when I pick up my food is amazing. Our server was amazing. Jist a great, friendly environment to enjoy good food. Usually, we order a large pie or personal pizzas. Bit I ordered the baked gnocchi and she got a chicken sandwich. The food was delicious. We didn't wait long at all for it. Hot and tasty. We could not have been more satisfied. read more

I always come to Aloha Pizza and sub for the best tuna sub ! Their bread is so fresh and served warm. Their chicken noodle soup is out of sight! Great table service. They are so sweet and friendly. read more

Old school family pizzeria offering fair prices, Italian American food options, and great service. Pizza is traditional and well worth it. Dine- in is comfortable with very responsive wait staff, parking is generous and easy enter and exit off rte519, and take out runs like a well- oiled machine. Well- known in the area and surrounding areas. For weekend dining, they are busy but waits are reasonable. Keep in mind when planning a visit that they are Closed on Sundays read more

1) ordered garlic knots, sausage and peppers and fried onions, sandwich, cheese burger, and club sandwich. Garlic knots were ok. Hardly any butter barely cooked on bottom. I was basically eating bread with butter. The sausage and pepper sandwich was eh. The fried peppers and onions were just diced and not fried. The sausage wasnt even a whole piece just sliced. Makes for messy eating. When you bit the sandwich, the peppers and onions went everywhere. The cheeseburger was average. The only good thing was the club sandwich. If anything, stick with the baked dishes. Their baked pasta dishes are phenomenal. read more

Pretty solid pizza cooked right with good crust and sauce. They didn't skimp on the toppings. Probably a solid 7.5 out of 10. The Buffalo chicken salad was pretty forgettable.. I'd go back and try a dinner or sandwich. read more

Solid place. Food is always predictably good and orders are ready on time. Get the grinder sandwich with banana peppers on it!

This restaurant has always been good but not recently. IDK what happened but the quality has diminished greatly. Mushy "bready " eggplant, lasagna was mushy as well . No flavor or texture. I recently got subs and there were lacking in quality and nothing like they used to be. I suggest skipping and go to another local pizza place. There are plenty around. read more

Pizza, pierogis, pasta oh my! I missed going to Alpha Pizza & Sub Shop (only due to a road closure). We've been frequenting them during quarantine and it brings a smile to my face when placing my Friday order. Pan pizza, regular pie and Sicilian all have such great flavor. All reasonably priced. Check out their daily specials. They always have a sub and pasta specials. They use the ChowNow app/website now, makes ordering a breeze. You can schedule a pick up in advance and pay ahead. read more

I love Alpha sub shop! Their food is the best , and the staff is great. They always remember your name, and as soon as you walk in they are getting you your order. read more

Great place. Square pizza and Grinders are excellent Eating here for 20+ years Try it read more

The kind of pizza establishment that every community should have. Friendly family environment. Very accommodating and great value for your money. You will be pleasingly plump and happy after visiting this gem in Alpha read more

Wonderful great pizza fast service definitely worth a try. They have a great supreme pizza my dad loves.

Always the best shop to eat at in the area. The pan pizza is to die for... the Garlic Knots are mouth watering and the hoagies are delicious (the bread is amazing, a great crunch). I find myself not really knowing what to order because everything is so good and I want to order it all every time I go and usually end up over ordering. You will not be disappointed. read more

We eat here frequently and the food is always top notch! Customer service is also incredible. Nice little family owned restaurant.

I tried this place a few days ago with my parents, because the Mexican restaurant down the street we usually go to is closed on Mondays. WOW. I can't believe how good it was. I had the veggie Stromboli (big enough for two people, maybe even three), and it was definitely the best I've ever had in the area. The pastry was crisp and flavorful, the veggies were fresh, and the cheese were delicious. I'm not sure if I'll be able to eat at any of the other Italian restaurants in the area ever again--this place is that much better. read more

Eating here is like a family tradition. Staff is always friendly and professional and the food is always good.

If you want a great sub then this is a great place. Great service and love to each the making of pizzas when I would g I pick up my order. Wil be definitely be buying a deep dish pizza from them. Staff is very friendly to. read more

Hands down the BEST pizza in the area! Their subs are also amazing--something about the bread they use here is *chef's kiss* The staff is so wonderfully friendly and personable. I don't know what they put in their pizza that makes it so delicious. I'm convinced the secret ingredient is love!!!! read more

Alpha Pizza & Sub Shop - Pizza Near Me - Phillipsburg, New Jersey

well what can I say we went there for dinner the other night ordered a chicken parm sub . and guess what I got a chicken finger sandwich with cheese and sauce... No free refills on drinks either read more

Hometown family institution. Everything is made with love & from scratch. No one beats Alpha sub

Cheesesteaks are delicious from the first bite to the last. The personal pies are what it is all about. The German Pie is my go to and after you eat it you're going to want to come back the next day for lunch. The owner and employees are all top notch people as well. Super nice and the service is on point. read more

It's hard to find a good sandwich around here. Alpha subs is pretty damn good. They always get my order correct and they offer a large menu. The staff is great and it's priced right! The Italian is my fav. read more

The atmosphere is indicative of what I found traveling through rustic Tuscany. The service, although at times oblivious to my water level, was very sweet and courteous. The food is what I would go back to and what I will reccomend to peers. Often, food (especially italian) this cheap is superficial, with little actual substance in terms of flavor. This pasta was full and at times vivacious in how the flavors corroborate to provide a unique mid Atlantic Italian flavor. I would highly recommend this restaurant, at least when being waited upon, due to the aforementioned reasons listed above. Quando viva da tu pasta, hai una sogna, e dopo, un memoria. read more

We've been going to this place for years. Staff is friendly, place is kept clean. They are very busy Friday and Saturday nights and most lunchtimes. Prices are VERY reasonable for this area. Disclaimer--I was brought up in a Sicilian-American household by a mother and grandmother who were superb cooks. As a result, I am very picky about the quality of "Italian" food. My pet peeve is tomato sauce. I have only encountered one restaurant that ever offered a sauce that was as good as what my mother and grandmother made. What I think of as mediocre or even poor would probably be considered good to excellent by most other people--so please keep that in mind when reading my comments below. Alpha Pizza and Subs' food is OK. There are many other places around that are worse, and maybe a few that are slightly better. Pizza is typical for the area. Not outstanding, not bad. Their sauce is typical pizza joint sauce and is IMHO the weakest part of their whole operation. I am not sure if they even make it on site. Sometimes in the past it was so heavy with oregano it had a medicinal taste, but I haven't noticed that lately--maybe it is something they fixed. Their cold subs are very good--unlike many sub joints, they don't use a ton of meat and cheeses, but IMHO, that is a good thing. Putting a ton of stuff on a cold sub just overwhelms the tastebuds--Alpha Pizza and Sub puts just the right amount and combination of meat and cheeses on their subs to make them very tasty. Having said that, I haven't ordered one of their cold subs with vinegar and oil in many, many years--they always used WAY too much vinegar, or at least they used to. I just get mine with mayo, lettuce, tomato, onions and what they call "hot peppers" (really pickled pepperoncini)--the "hot peppers" add just enough acid to really make the sandwich "POP". The other nice thing is they always heat the roll up in the oven before assembling the sub, so it is nice and warm and crispy on the outside--that makes a big difference IMHO. Their warm subs are let down by the mediocre sauce, but are otherwise good. As another reviewer mentioned, their garlic knots are very good. Their salads are OK, nothing outstanding, but quite edible. Once I got their pasta fazool and it was very good--not sure of it is a regular menu item. Never had any of their other pastas or soups so can't comment on them. Even though this is less than a wonderful review, I have to add that we have been going to them for years and they are our "go to" place for cold subs, pizza and calzones (which are very good). They are friendly, fast, reliable, inexpensive, and their food is decent. All in all, a pretty good place for this area. read more

Alpha Pizza and Sub Shop is a rarity these days. It is a family owned restaurant that actually takes pride in their business and the food that is prepared. Sandwiches and meals are always fresh and delicious. Staff is always friendly. Dining area always clean. I would rather come here for a good meal any day versus going to the large chain restaurants with expensive, low quality food. Keep up the great work! You are doing a wonderful job! read more

Food is ok. The manager was a bitch though. She changed the prices on the menu and when we ordered, we apparently had an "old menu" and when she rang it up, I said oh it's this price... and she said our prices have changed. THEN UPDATE YOUR MENUS AND GET RID OF THE OLD ONES. I like to save money because I don't have a lot of it. She was so inconsiderate We never went back after that... and never will read more

This has been our family's go to stop for Friday nights dinners over many years. The penne al vodka w/ either shrimp or chicken, is a family favorite, as are the many other dishes or subs. Great food and friendly staff, makes this an excellent place to dine in or take out. read more

Pizza is mostly cheese with little dough and sauce. And is more expensive than other pizza places around. I don't care for them and it is really annoying when they close Sunday's. I always recommend a different place either Francesco's or franks. read more

My famiy loves Alpha Sub and we have spent years trying all of the pizza/sub shops in the area. Their subs and wings are our fav (bread they use is awesome) and the pizza is better than anyones around. Plus the staff is super friendly, and prices are very reasonable ($25 for dinner for 4). read more

I reviewed this place back in 2011 and still I have to say they have the best pizza in the area. This place is so clean. Just look back behind the counter and you wont find another pizza place this clean. I can't say enough good things about this place. It is worth going out of the way to visit. read more

Was very unhappy with our visit to Alpha Sub shop. The pizza maker was on his cell phone the whole time. That is such a dirty thing. He did not wash his hands after using it. Then the workers were eating over the food prep area. Which is also a gross thing. Will not be going back. We have also put this review on there Facebook but they have removed there reviews. read more

Love this place so much! Awesome subs and pizza! Oder from here once a week! The workers are super nice and friendly and the restaurant is nice and clean! read more

This is great family owned restaurant. The food is tasty and the atmosphere is peaceful. The staff is so nice and well trained.

They are okay. Pizza is decent, prices are good. Their subs are huge, but nothing special. Good for convenience.

Stopped in to sample there Italian sub turned out perfect no complaints
