Fantastic pizza. We got plain, pepperoni, and a few speciality pizzas. Cooked to just the right amount of well done. Love this place!

Stopped in and decided to try the Chicken Caesar Wrap with fries and a pinwheel. The wrap was served cold, and unfortunately the chicken was cold as well. The chicken itself was just okay--nothing bad, but nothing that really stood out flavor-wise. For $14 for an 8-inch wrap, I think the price is fair, but I was expecting a little more. The highlight of the meal was definitely the fries. For just an extra $2, adding a side of fries was absolutely worth it. They were the best part of the entire meal. The pinwheel was bad. When heated up very oily and has a sweet taste . I actually chose it cold on purpose so I could heat it up later, and for a grab-and-go option, it worked well. I considered getting pizza, but the slices on display looked like they had been sitting out for a while and didn't appear fresh, so I decided to pass and go with the wrap and pinwheel instead. Overall, wouldn't go again, personally two options, but form your own. Nothing really wowed us, but the fries were excellent, the portions were decent, and it's a solid option if you're looking for something quick and convenient. Honestly 2.0 outta 5. Now this is supposed to be a Brooklyn based place and being born and Raise from The Bronx Ny , didn't get that feel or vibe and the first place to put sesame seed on dough bread read more

On December 18 I was on my way to the gym coming from physical therapy and I need a slice. I saw this place, and stopped in. Friendly staff. A lot of people enjoying food. I'm rating as many pizzerias as I can in the area, based on their plain pizza. This was an above average plain slice, a little more oregano than most people use, texture of crust was very good and there probably could've been a little more cheese. I would definitely come back. price point was average as well. read more

I've been meaning to try this place. And I'm really glad I did. The counter guy was very friendly and the sandwich (chicken, mozzarella, roasted peppers) was delicious. Will definitely be back. read more

Opted to try something besides pizza, which is hit or miss, sometimes I get a calzone with pepperoni which is sometimes raw dough in the thick spots but I do manage to choke one down. Tonight, I got the eggplant parm and a side of fried rav. The menu I had must have been an old one because it says 8 for $8.95. I didn't realize my wife ordered off the online menu and got 5 for $9 something. Bland no flavor or seasoning, not worth $9.00. The eggplant was soggy and tasteless almost like a warmed-up leftover with some sauce and couple slices of mozz melted onto the foil wrap. Big sandwich but now I know what not to get. read more

Sandwiches excellent, but when you top and Reburn a pizza you should make sure it's hot and crispy, toppings warm, tomato sauce cold and crust cold and soggy. I realized places do this but don't know why, customers will wait if you tell them or could be something else like a whole slice pie sitting awhile so top it and put in oven. I'll try them again but with caution. read more

DeCaro's proudly calls themselves "Straight Outta Brooklyn!," and the pizza lives up to the hype. Having such a traditional New York-style pizzeria so close to home is a home run. Their basic cheese slice is a de facto New Jersey/New York slice, with a crispy exterior and a gooey mozzarella. I've been finding that I am more of a square pizza/specialty slice guy, and those don't disappoint. My favorites are the Grandma, Brooklyn, Vodka, and Sicilian. The crowd also seems to love the rest of their speciality slices, such as the decidedly Italian sausage, peppers, and onions. That crowd extends to the drive-through, which has welcomed the likes of none other than Snooki from Jersey Shore. The drive-through offers a unique, nondescript convenience for celebrities and local patrons alike. Meanwhile the interior atmosphere also lives up to being a traditional pizzeria. Anthony and Paulie are pizza virtuosos, churning out a consistent variety of top-notch slices through a lifetime dedication to learning the craft of pizza-making. read more

Ordered on grub hub and picked it up. The pizza was very good and not greasy like many places. The antipasto salad had very good things in it big olives and meat and cheese. The service was very quick. The restaurant is very nice and clean inside. read more

This is as close as you can get to being the perfect pizzeria. The staff is awesome and always friendly. The owner is a great guy who always welcomes you when working. The pizza is amazing and the dinner entrees are out of this world. Staff has gone above and beyond to make getting pizza from there special for our kids. Even have done a few heart shaped pizzas for them. Can't say enough good things about this place. read more

Recently I was diagnosed with celiac disease. Since pizza is my absolute favorite food, I was pretty disappointed to not be able to have the "real thing" anymore. Ordered my first gluten free pizza with pepperoni for pickup from DeCaro's. Brought it home - I had expected the texture to be different, but otherwise it tasted great! I loved that it came with a plastic pizza cutter to not risk cross-contamination. I will absolutely be back!! read more

Disappointed. Ordered a margarita pizza and got sauce on crust. When I asked where the fresh basil was they wanted to pour pesto sauce on it instead. Place is a disaster. read more

I used to look forward to a slice on Friday nights. Hot juicy pizza, where that first bite of each slice was like an epicurean delight. Where has decaro's gone? A dry cheese-less slice that reminds me of a digiorno frozen in my freezer, I'm so disappointed with this pizzeria, I'll probably never return! read more

Decent pizza, light on the toppings though. Brooklyn square left me dying of thirst. Seems like they use msg in their sauce. Why!? I am sensitive to msg, 5 other people that normally don't complain, said they were so thirsty after the food. Typical of msg laden food. I would go back but wouldn't get their pizza. I would definitely ask them about their seasonings before they cook anything for me. Staff was good. read more

So I'm basically a " Benny " born and raised in North Jersey... I've been looking for a pizza spot down here for over a year ... some are mehhh and some have been absolutely horrible. Last night I was craving pizza and decided to give Decaro's a shot AND they offered curbside pickup; you mean I wouldn't have to funnel the little ones in and out just to pick it up? I already had high hopes just bC of that! So as I arrived it was quiet in the parking lot and I didn't have any little ones with me so I decided to run in and see what it looked like inside ... CLEAN!!! and I don't mean like dirty bucket and mop being used so we assume they're clean ... I mean clutter free and no greasy residue on the counters the glass doors didn't have finger prints which is very impressive lol. The worker behind the counter was greeting me before both feet were in the door ... (( I must be dreaming, right? )) So I tell him I'm picking up the curbside order ... he apologized right and left saying he didn't get a notification I was here. When I told him there was nothing to apologize for bC I decided to come in you could see the relief lol So now the real reason you're reading my review ... So I ended up ordering a medium PLAIN pie (( it's the test pie )) - The ride home was about 12min ... LONGEST 12 min ever bC the pizza smelt so good my mouth was watering . - Opening the box,poke the crust ... now is when I'm secretly fighting myself bC I ordered a medium and I have to share - The first bite ... and that's all it took I picked up my phone and had to check their hours bC I was really contemplating about ordering another one right then but being part of the hospitality industry I couldn't be THAT PERSON ordering ANOTHER pie right before they close especially on a Sunday BOTTOM LINE ( for the ones who are just skimming the review ) DECARO'S = AMAZINGGGGG! Staff Cleanliness Pizza read more

Best pizza in Brick. The box says made in Brooklyn, if I didn't order and pick it up I would swear it was from NY. This is now my new go to pizza spot. I will try the dinners soon and repost read more

This place sucks big time. How can you botch pizza in NJ, especially in a place like Brick where there's a ton of competition. The pizza is terrible, the meals are terrible, the owner is a bozo. Definitely recommend any of the hundred other pizza places around. read more

Love this place, best pizza around, delicious crust. Owners are very friendly too and love the drive through feature on the coldest days! Very accommodating made us a special pie which everyone loved! Highly recommend! read more

They have some funky types of pizza but they are delicious! Crazy huge portions and to top it off all the food is amazing! I had the Italian wedding soup and it was great as well as the Pizza slice. Not to mention the salad dressing was amazing. Also it would be a crime to not mention the fact that they make all the bread in store! Also lots of options with eat in, delivery, and a drive thru!!! Amazing food, I would come here again any day. You can tell the owner put his heart and soul into this food and that's rare. Best Italian in the area. read more

DeCaro's Pizza has become my new favorite place in the past 2 months! Every single pie I've gotten there is flavorful, fresh, and just the right amount of crust and sauce. The slices aren't dripping in oil, and their sauce isn't overwhelming the rest of the pie. There are plenty of seats inside, and their takeout service is also quick. They also do delivery. I am looking forward to trying all of their other types of pizza, as well as their food read more

I have been in Toms River/Brick area for 14 yrs. I hv tried many pizzeria. The minute I picked up this pie - I KNEW the cooks or owner were not from this area. I was right - straight from Brooklyn. Reminds me of my days living in New York and always getting the BEST PIZZA. Again This pizza place has THE BEST pizza - period!! The aroma itself tells it!!! Good quality good service. Thank you read more

We love DeCAROS. It is a must try for anyone who hasn't already. Love,love the pizza and their Stromboli is awesome.

Absolutely disgusting pizza. Watered down sauce w no flavor, disgusting toppings def canned and watery, probably the worst pizza I ever ate in my life. Cheese was horrible as well. Huge disappointment. If you want to waste your money and feel nauseous eat here! read more

Great food and they have a drive thru window which is super convenient! Never had a bad experience.

Delicious and fresh! Pizza, salads, appetizers are always good! I love this pizzeria!

Absolutely love their plain slices! Also have tried the cheesesteak & pizza steak - the bread they have for them is great

Very, very unhappy with an experience we just had here. We have had their food at friends' parties before, but this was our first experience ordering catered food from them. Prices on their website are very wrong. We ordered a half tray of wings ($40 on website), half tray of ziti ($40 on website) and half tray of chicken tenders ($30). so figured about $120 with tax. No one mentioned price issues when we placed the order by phone Thursday. Picked it up today and the actual total was $170. We were told "yeah, the prices on the website need to be fixed." That's some pretty serious false advertising. No apology offered, either. read more

I drove to the other side of Brick because of the good reviews, and, most importantly, because one of the reviews claimed that this place bakes its own bread for the subs. That got my attention. Upon walking in, I asked if they do their own bread, and the owner confirmed it. Yiipppee!!! So I get half of a traditional Italian sub, salami, cappicola, & cheese, w/hot peppers. Also I ordered a slice of pie, just to check the quality. I was not impressed. The sub, costing $8.50 with the hot peppers, had exactly ONE (1), count em...I mean, count IT, ONE slice thickness of each of the meats. Even with the measly amount of ingredients, they were spilling out of the loaf. This thing has to be re-engineered, in addition to needing a re-evaluation of how much protein the customer expects. Other than that the flavors were ok, but it was just an average sub at best. Disappointingly, the home baked bread did not jump out at you. Ditto for the pizza. It was just an average pie. It wasn't exactly soupy, but the cheese did sort of slide around the top of the sauce. Speaking of which, it reminded me of Ragu Spaghetti sauce. I might get a slice if I am in the neighborhood and was really craving a pizza fix, but certainly wouldn't drive across town. read more

Ordered sausage peppers and onions sub, the sausage was scarce and stingy, it was all bread and I guess there's no seasoning. You should try some sometime it will taste better. Ordered the Italian sub, extremely cheap meat and completely soggy. The pizza was typical football Pizza with extremely sweet marinara, recommended by a friend will never order there again. It's an insult to Italian Americans. read more

Awesome food, we just found our new pizzeria. Best Pepperoni by I have ever had. Great deals, like 2 pies and anti-pasta for 30.00 Great pizza, very nice workers read more

first time ever eating here. pizza? 10/10. i had the pepperoni with mozzarella (margarita style) & it was fantastic! would definitely get that again. since it was my first time eating there I wanted to get a slice of pizza as well as my other sandwich that I was getting. I got a chicken Caesar wrap with croutons. the Caesar wrap was not good at all. I took one bite and couldn't eat the rest of it. so if we go in there for pizza definitely. If you're going there for a chicken Caesar wrap, don't waste your time or your money not worth it. However, I am definitely going to go again to get their pizza and I really want to try their chicken vodka hero.. sounds great and I bet it taste even better. pizza anyone? read more

As soon as they opened, they were our new fav pizza place. Pizza is delicious, and they make their own bread from scratch for their subs (love the cheesesteaks!) They give us special slices on occasion, which is always a nice treat! I also have my work ordering from there! About to order right now! :) read more

It was my first time there and I ordered a cheesesteak, wow delicious!It's hard to find a good cheesesteak these days but this will be my spot. read more

I've never eaten here before, it was amazing! I had bolognese over angel hair pasta. Had the house balsamic dressing on my included side salad and an amazing 1/2 loaf and pre cut bread. The bread was soft inside and flaky crisp crust. I will gladly eat here again! Side note, order online or the phone, pay ahead and DRIVE THRU window, so convenient! Also, the pasta alone was more than enough for two, generous portion. read more

Great place never a problem and the people are always so nice...food is so good. I will not go any place else and they take great care of my mom who needs her food cooked special. Never a question never a problem read more

With a ton of pizzerias in the area this place is my absolute favorite ! Great selection of slices to choose from (the Big Mac slice and the Antipasto slice are to die for !!) and when I want a sandwich, they make their bread in house (nothing better than that) ! Highly recommend !! read more

First and foremost, let me say that DeCaro's makes a damned good pizza, has exceptionally friendly owners, and that I really wish I could give them 5 stars all the way. That said, there's a few things that really hold this place back. The good: The pizza here is among some of the best in the area, I won't lie. Slices are a decent size, and for a quick lunch I can usually get two tasty specialty slices for under $10. The calzones and subs are pretty good as well, and the sauce they use is of a decent, homemade quality. The owners / staff here are incredibly friendly, even going so far as to give a sample slice of various pizzas to regulars, on occasion. They do a great job cleaning up the place as well, and the display cases / counters / tables are always spotless. The unfortunate thing about this place is that they never seem to be open. Maybe the hours on this side of Brick are different than the hours people expect on the 08724 side, but on two occasions I've had friends over and attempted to place an order at ~8:45 on a Friday night - only to have the phone ring and ring. Taking a trip down to the restaurant itself had confirmed that they were closed. What pizza place closes before 10PM on a Friday night? We ended up ordering from Napoli instead, who at ~9:15PM was more than happy to deliver a few pizzas across town. Maybe I just have terrible luck, but every single time I try to come here lately, they're not open. They're closed early as hell on Friday and Saturday nights, next weekend there's a note in the door about being closed for the day, and this Sunday the lights were off at noon, despite their menu / website stating that they're open at 12 on Sunday. Sheesh. On top of that, the last two times I managed to come here when they *WERE* open, I had what could only be described as "surprise pricing". Apparently they updated their menus here, but didn't actually bother to update their website nor their physical menus. I didn't take much notice the first time when the price seemed off, since I figured I read the menu wrong. The second time, my sausage parm that I expected to pay $6.25 for a half (as per website and menu, including the menus on the counter), ended up being an entire *dollar* more when I went to pay. When I asked, they simply told me "all prices have gone up by a dollar" - quite a steep hike. All in all - this place could be *amazing* if they got their act together a little more. Get your website / menu in order, adopt some normal hours (so that you're not closing by 9PM on a Friday / Saturday, or not open for lunch on a Sunday), and get the menu pricing under control - 25 - 50cent increases is one thing, but a dollar? As good as the food is, if I can't actually order anything during the same time every other pizza joint is open, what's the point? I doubt I'll be going back anytime soon, since it's not worth my time to "roll the dice" and see if they're actually open. A real missed opportunity. read more
