    Grandma slice
    Larry F.

    I went here for lunch to get a couple of slices and both pizzas were great. I have eaten here a few times so I have to talk about how good the pizza is. The ingredients they use are awesome. That is why their pizza taste so good. The Vodka Piccante is my favorite pizza there. I would suggest you try all the pizza options there. They also have other items besides pizza that you should try.

    Margherita deep dish pizza

    They have many selections of pizza to choose from. They display all the pizzas at the entrance, which is great visual reference to help you make the decision. We have a party of seven and ordered one Grandma's Pie and Margarita's Deep Dish Pizza. The garlic knots that comes with meal was delicious especially with their special Marinara sauce. Love the Calamari Fritti which comes a large portion and fried zucchini. Caprese was delicious!

    Pizza with pepperoni, caramelized onions, and peppers

    This place is the best Italian near (ish) the Jersey Shore! It is a small, unassuming place on the intersection of two roads (so the small outside patio is sort of noisy). The food is amazing. Featured on DDD. Pretty large selection of pizzas and pastas, as well as appetizers and a couple of desserts. The build your own pasta with orecchiette, the spicy arrabbiata sauce, and a sausage link ($3 up charge/link) was amazing, as well as the arancini appetizer (3 good-sized arancini). The BYO coal-fired pizza was good as well. Highly recommend if in the area.

    Pepperoni picante always excellent
    Alex T.

    Love this place, but today was a complete miss on a "special" item. Pizza was excellent as always. I ordered the special of pork sandwich with broccoli rabe, provolone and spicy onions. Seeded roll was good and unfortunately that was about it. Sandwich had no taste or seasoning. Was hard to believe. I ate a quarter of it. Did not ask for it to be wrapped up. You would think the waitress would have asked about it, but I guess they don't care. I'll stick to the pizza and the meatballs as they are the best around. Do better Carluccio's on your service. Pork sandwich was a 1 and pizza was a 5

    Frozen dessert. Fruit with Gelato

    From the moment we stepped in, Carluccio's delivered an experience that exceeded all expectations. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cozy and vibrant--soft lighting and cheerful chatter. The star of the show is, without a doubt, the crust. Chantilly-light, blistered bubbles, and a charred edge that adds a subtle smokiness without overpowering the toppings. The crust has a perfect chew--crispy on the outside, tender inside. The oven's heat is clearly dialed in just right, producing pies that sing with flavor from the first bite. Toppings That Shine We had the Grandpa which seemed to be a new menu item. Between the hot honey drizzle and Barata sprinkled throughout the pie, my taste buds was dancing. Then they took it to the next level with a creamy mozzerella, and a fragrant basil finish. Simple yet extraordinary; every ingredient speaks for itself. Note: we added pepperoni to half of it. The pie arrived with a perfect slice-to-slice consistency and a presentation that makes you want to photograph it before you take the first bite. For dessert lovers, the donut stuffed with Nutella was simply amazing! Chefs kiss! We are definitely coming back

    eggplant pizza
    Gregg L.

    I haven't eaten here in years and forgot how good it is. Stopped in on a Sunday and it was weirdly empty. Within 15 minutes of sitting down the parking lot was full and every seat was taken. It's definitely popular. It's a small restaurant, so if you're not getting food to go, expect to wait a few for a seat during busy hours. Went with the stuffed gnocchi in pesto sauce and it was exceptionally good. A local pizza joint has no business making pasta as good as this. I was blown away to be honest. I went way too hard and ordered a slice of Sicilian pizza with eggplant parm on top. The crust was perfect. Everything was just right. Service was friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back soon to try more.

    Grandma's pie ! Delicious!
    Stephanie H.

    Grandma's pie simply the best definitely try it if you're down the shore fast service I get it delivered every time the pie comes out nicely cooked delicious even leftovers taste just as good and the driver is so so nice.

    Good pizza, but pricy. Trekking around NJ, happened to find a pizza joint that was rated really well. So we made the trip here to try them out. The place was packed, tons of people waiting for orders and tables. It looks like this place was featured on food network and they were getting hugged hard by the community. We ordered a selection of slices to go. Despite the busy nature of the location, it was relatively quick to get our slices. We drove to a parking lot and dug in. As a pizza, I really enjoyed the sauce and crust. The crust was thinner but still had a good rigid bottom. Able to handle the large amount of toppings on each slice. The flavors of the toppings were great, with a special call out to the caprese salad pizza slice. The tomatoes were seasoned, the balsamic drizzle had that sweet acid pop, onions gave it the savory crunch, and the burrata cheese was creamy and smooth. The biggest issue was the price. They are riding high on their fame and charge accordingly. The 4 slices here came out to about 26 bucks. Pizza by the slice is a little more expensive, and they are fairly big slices, but it's pricy for what you get. Never the less, it's a good pizza and incredibly popular. It's worth a try if you happen to be in this area and quality matters beyond all else.

    Our Famous "Grandma's" Pie Bruschetta pizza
    Dimpie S.

    4/5 stars. Wanted to give 5 but lost 1 star for service and restaurant seating It's a small family owned restaurant that is quite busy. We were seated right by the line and it was uncomfortable. Waiter dropped water over my phone and myself. Confusion with which waiter is serving which table. I understand the restaurant is extremely busy but it needs to manage the customers and space better Grandma pizza was incredible with the pesto oil and sauce. Bruschetta pizza was also amazing with plenty of topping. It all went well with all the flavors. Pizza could be more crisp though. Will definitely be returning but maybe takeout due to service/space issues. Hopefully the pizza will taste as well with takeout.

    Giardiniera
    Viral S.

    Great pizza with a variety of crusts and toppings available. Highly recommend their NY Style Giardiniera and their grandpa's pie! It's busy all the time, so be sure to order in advance. Worth the price premium over competitors.

    One of the worst parking lots imaginable has not deterred Carluccio's from maintaining its status as a go to pizzeria!! You always are treated to a warm welcome as you enter by a display of your many pizza options. So much temptation beyond the glass casing. Today's choices Honey Chicken and Grandma's! These are carefully crafted pies whose top notch ingredients and flavors easily explain why that all too tight parking lot is jammed during lunch and dinner hours. The rest of their menu sounds appealing but I came for pizza. Plus the Italian-American themed background music just adds to the experience. As the wall signs says 'Buon Appetio! '

It's BYOB with plenty of parking and reservations are a must since they're always busy! You can easily book on resy.com. I've been twice now, and have enjoyed each visit. All their pastas are homemade and their dishes are very flavorful. My husband thought their chicken Parmesan was a little too salty for him with the vodka sauce, but he's sensitive to cream and has more bland of a palate than I do. I thought it was delicious. We had started off with the stuffed gnocchi appetizer. This was hands down the best gnocchi I've ever had! It was like little pillows filled with ricotta in the most scrumptious cream sauce with roasted tomatoes. We wanted to lick the plate, but used the bread to wipe it up instead haha. For my main dish, I had the shrimp scampi with the creamy rice and it was incredible! The shrimp were absolutely perfectly succulent and not overdone and rubbery. The lemon butter sauce was divine. I may opt for the linguine instead next time since I was overloaded with cream after the gnocchi, but it was delicious the next day as leftovers. Service was attentive and well timed. The restaurant is lively and not the biggest, so don't go here expecting a quiet meal. I need to try their dessert next time!
