I ordered a half sausage &…read morehalf pepperoni pizza, my wife had a chicken parm dinner, and my Mother In Law went with the Eggplant Rollatini. We started off with Boli Knots for an appetizer. I thought they were very good, but my wife & Mother In Law were turned off by the copious amount of garlic. O well, I ended up having five out of the six knots ;). Marinara sauce that came with the knots was spot on, we all enjoyed it. My Mother In Law did LOVE her Eggplant Rollatini (and she also had a slice of pepperoni pizza, she really liked that too). My wife was happy with her chicken parm, and I felt the pizza was decent. NY style. Friendly & attentive service, a nice dining area also. All in all, a pretty solid experience at Mangia Brick Oven Pizza this past weekend. We are planning to come back, they have an outdoor dining area that allows dogs (a BIG plus for us, since we hate to leave the pooch home), and they are close enough to my Mother In Law's place to grab some takeout anytime. Will write an update whenever that happens.

I ordered pizza and a chicken parm hero on the Slice app for pickup, but it defaulted to delivery. I called and had it switched to takeout. When I arrived, they told me it had already gone out for delivery anyway. I waited 10 minutes, the food never came back, and they refused to refund me or remake the order. All I wanted was a simple takeout order. Instead I got attitude and lost $40. I won't be back.

Being that' I'm new to this area and I've been craving buffalo chicken pizza for awhile , I saw the…read morereviews were okay here but I think looks were deceiving. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot , we can see through the windows and so I'm sitting in the car , none of the employees have their masks on, the guy is eating behind the counter and licking his fingers , next to another guy who is making a pizza ,which is such a turn off for me , I didn't even want to get my food but because I had ordered it online it was already paid. Therefore sanitary I would give that a 0 since that's a big Disgust in the food industry , at least eat on the side not in the kitchen area where food is being prepared. When I went to eat the pizza my blue cheese that I got in the side was hot and gross from sitting on top of the pizza oven but whatever I wasn't gonna stress over that as my main concern was my pizza didn't even look fully cooked as the cheese wasn't fully melted in the center but yet the crust was hard. As for the flavor it could of tasted better , it tasted kinda blan for a buffalo chicken pizza, I was super disappointed especially since I've been looking forward to it for some time now. Especially since it costed $21 which is a lot of money for a pizza. I will not recommend coming here for any specialty pizza that's for sure. I would not come back to disappointing :/

It was a quiet Monday, President's Day, late afternoon and coming back from a road trip. Brooklyn Square was the perfect pit stop! We had some pizza, some pasta and some salad and it was all really good. Our server highly recommended sandwich #17 and it was so good. I would have never ordered a grilled shrimp panini - - but this one was loaded with shrimp, avocado, broccoli rabe and fresh mozz -- SO GOOD - - definitely try that one! Service was also very good. Our server had so much patience - - it's hard to decide on an order because everything is so good! There's a reason Dave Portnoy gave Brooklyn Square a 8.9 rating - - the signature "upside down" pizza is so good. (Cheese on the bottom, sauce on the top). It's actually hard to even pick one slice - - so you'll have to go back and try other ones. My husband loves the eggplant rollatini....breaded eggplant rolled with ricotta, spinach, roasted red peppers with mozz on top - -that brings him back to Brooklyn Square every time! There are also quite a few other locations - Manalapan, Toms River, Bradley Beach, and the new Shrewsbury restaurant. I can't wait for them to open up their Marlboro location!

These ladies never stopped moving and made each guest feel like they were the only ones in the room at times.
