Craving minestrone soup, went to Emilio's on a Friday night. Paid $7.50 for a cup of soup. It was made with... cheap store bought Farfalle pasta (the bowtie one)??? Poor choice in pasta. Did not hold up well in soup. It had very few vegetables in it and very watered down tomato soup base. The only seasoning was salt. A lot of salt. And a touch of pepper. Came with 2 breadsticks, they were bland but the right texture. Service was silly bad. Two teenagers, one who didn't know how to use the register. Didn't know bread came with the soup. Charged me the wrong amount, but was nice enough when I explained it and it was settled. The small front room was packed with crabby people waiting for their food. One lady was waiting for a chicken parm for an hour. It was tight and uncomfortable. I waited over a half hour for them to pour the premade soup into a to-go cup and put the premade bread into a bag. My quest for actual minestrone continues on elsewhere. read more

Emilios Pizza & Restaurant - Bland farfelle soup (it ain't minestrone!) - Italian Near Me - Jackson, New Jersey

why was my order thrown away?? Because I came 1 hr and 20 mins after ordering? Make it make sense? I have been a faithful customer for years and just get pushed aside for being too late when they take down your name and number to monitor that you come in to get the food and now you just throw my pizza away? Now I have to get my kids food somewhere else! It's just crazy considering I've been a faithful customer for over a decade. Very disappointed in Emilios. read more

Emilio's is the best restaurant if you want a delicious Italian meal. We are never disappointed. What a fabulous menu. Our favorite is Eggplant Rollitini, a giant salad and your choice of pasta. Love Mia our sometimes server. SO GOOD!!!! read more

Placed an order. While doing so I asked about the prices, to confirm,and was told they were correct. After paying one of the two items I ordered was a dollar more. I wouldn't bother mentioning that, but then, my now $14.50 sub had no oil and vinegar, and was so thin that it was a joke. I've have gone to this place off and on for years, but I think I'm finished . When you have less customers coming in, don't screw the ones that were still going there! read more

Absolutely! Best Pizza, generous portions on the main dishes and delicious desserts and the owner is a very nice man.

Great pizza and calzone! The staff is very friendly. It's one of our favorite places when we r in the area !

We've gone to this restaurant for many years, and have sampled their dishes. We also call there and have them deliver food to us about once each week. We've always been happy with the food. read more

I used to buy subs here all the time even though it's not the best pizzeria in town. But I've noticed since the end of summer they've been putting hardly any meat on the subs. I asked for literally triple meat, and this is what they give me. Very disappointing. I guess normal meat is two slices of meat on a baguette... Get real. read more

The food at this restaurant is definitely outstanding and they have a great a luncheon menu which consist of many different pasta dishes, chicken and veal dishes. The luncheon menu includes soups or salads and the best homemade out of the oven bread with Butter all at low pricing. Great food is delivered with the very best service. if you can't make it for lunch, you definitely have to come for dinner. The ambience is wonderful and they just re-decorated the restaurant and Pizza section. So if you want the very best food, pricing and outstanding service you definitely need to come to Emilio's restaurant. enjoy, James read more

Where I work, we order pizza couple times a month and big dinner orders at least once a month- our residents that have meetings or gathering here at the Club House order delivery constantly from Emilios, so much so they know the delivery crew by a first names basis. Ordering is pretty simple and they have an extensive menu from appetizers, hot/cold sandwiches to pies and main entrees, pretty much everything I have had here has been great, I like the mushroom & pepperoni pie with extra sauce to dip (again packaged for traveling well) and the meatball parm sub is HUGE enough for 3 meals! Delivery has been on time, food that is expected to be hot is, and the salads are not a wilted yucky mess of sogginess. I don't have anything bad to say, good customer service is practiced at Emilios. read more

Just ok. Average food, reasonable prices, adequate size portions. Better quality pizza and Italian food near by. Rather take out than dine in. read more

At one time they were the best. Kids that are on the counter are horrible. It takes twice as long for anything. I didn't for dinner took 50 minutes to get 2 Stromboli's. They've been here very long time and so they don't take care of their clients. We sat next to two families that were just disgusted about the time it took for pizza and basic food. Let's face it. There is a pizza place every 5 miles down here. I drive out of my way to get pizzas from these guys. For over 15 years I have given them my business. You can imagine this will be the last time I'm coming here. read more

Walked in there to pick up my order, as I was taking a 20$ bill out of my wallet it ripped and the girl at the front desk REFUSED to accept it ! Didn't offer to tape it for me or anything which I thought was horrible customer service as it is so I didn't even offer to pay with a debit card instead I said im going to have to cancel my order and without hesitation she cancelled it! Who does that?! They just lost a customer read more

I really hate to leave a bad review but the pizza here remains some of the worst in the area. The pizza is covered with drops of oily cheese, bland metallic-tasting sauce, and a crust that tastes stale, burned, and sad. Not sure exactly what they're aiming for, but a definite reconsider of either the preparation of the food, or what Emilios qualitatively considers good food would do a whole lot of good. read more

Fantastic food ! From hot chicken parmigiana to garlic bread and Sicilian pizza and others - I just can't say enough - one of the contenders as the best in Jackson. Prompt delivery and a nice seating section inside too ! read more

Lousy pizza. I had to sign my credit card receipt in pencil because the cashier could not find a pen. They do not offer free WiFi to their customers. I will not be coming back. read more

Emilios Pizza & Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Jackson, New Jersey

We went to Emilio's for the first time since covid restrictions were lifted. The food was good, Chicken Parm, but it didn't have the wonderful flavor we experienced on many past visits prior to Covid. The service was very good. Also when we got the bill there was a "non cash charge adjustment" added to our bill. When I called later for an explanation I was told that the credit card machine added that charge, he was trying to imply that he didn't have a choice. Emilio's does have a choice about adding that charge to your bill and I did explain that I didn't think it was a good idea because I didn't like to see the charge and I didn't like his explanation. I think if they are going to use this charge in the future they should post a big sign up front that explains that if you use a credit card at Emilio's you can expect "non cash charge adjustment" added to your bill. It is not likely that we will return. read more

I've lived in Jackson my whole life and this is by far my favorite pizza. Excellent service, excellent food and very handsome delivery driver. 10/10 recommend read more

Really close to my house, convenient. The pizza was really fresh, good. Little crunchy as I wanted. It's big too. Sometimes they give extra garlic bread when I ordered pizza. The Salad was great. It's also bigger than I expected. read more

I ordered a chicken cutlet Parmesan it had hardly any sauce it was dry as can be and the next day I got food poisoning from his food. when I called to discuss it with the owner, the guy with the accent was a raving lunatic and was very defensive. The staff is incompetent they have 12 years old people working behind the counter that can't even understand the difference between a quart and a pint. When I try to order a chicken cutlet Parmesan the little boy that works there didn't even understand with the chicken Parmesan hero was read more

My husband and I get our pizza from here all the time. We really love their Margherita Pizza! MMMMM! Their sandwiches and salads are really good as well. read more

Thanks for the cold pizza, they said 20 mins and I wasn't late, after standing at the counter I watched them grab a pizza off the shelf and put it In a box and hand it to me. Extremely disappointed when I got home, and my pizza I supposedly ordered 20 mins prior was friggin cold already. read more

Love the pizza. Wait staff friendly and courteous. Was disappointed with dinner entrees two of two occasions.

What can I say. The freakin best food in ocean county hands down. Portions are unbelievable fishes are fresh and there Italian is second to none. Service is great very attentive. You want an excellent meal at an even more excellent price. Go to EMILIOS MANHATTAN STREET read more

They are very good with Gluten Free, Vegetarian and Dairy Free (and all three together) customers. I have eaten here and taken out food many times. Always delicious! I love all of their sauces. Very large portions and reasonable prices. A great value. I especially appreciate that they offer so many gluten free choices. My vegetarian, gluten free and dairy free friend loved the vegetable pasta with marinara sauce (It is not on the menu, they just made it when he asked and added extra mushrooms too!). My vegan son also loved the food. read more

Pizza needs to worked on . Live with in area always was a go to place but with other similar places that opened their pizza and calzones are far better then Emilios . Still stop by for Sunday specials now and then only when other places are too crowded . Would love if they can address their pizza issue , Im sure they have seen a major decline . Make (side ) salads bigger and more pasta to plates ( least expensive way for them to get it going again ) read more

love the pizza we have been ordering from them for the past 5 years! even if there have been some complaints withs dinners and messing up orders they have fixed most plus the delivery guy is awesome! read more

I hate to write a bad review, as the food is passable. But my issue is the service which is terrible, and the person in charge this evening has the poorest customer service skills, so it is understandable that the kids working there take their cues from him. I was standing in front of the counter picking up an order, with money in hand and food getting cold on the counter while 2 youngsters answered phone call after phone call. When I complained about being ignored, the person in charge came out of the back and started berating me for complaining, stating "somebody is gonna be unhappy". Now one call is one thing. Making me wait while my dinner gets cold so you can answer 3 or 4 other callers is ridiculous. Instead of stepping in to help them get me paid and out, he stood there scowling, telling me why the phone calls were more important than my time. Never again. read more

We waited 1 hour and 45 minutes for a half sub and a grilled chicken wrap with French fries. Needless to say, the grilled chicken wrap arrived cold and soggy, with soggy French fries. When I called the owner to complain, his response was "then don't order from here anymore" Not to worry, I never will. Horrible. read more

This is our go to place for pizza and pasta dishes to take out or eat in.Service is always quick and easy Friday and Saturday are busy time if we call for a large pizza we like our crispy.We moved here to Jackson 7 years ago and found our pizzeria restaurant And if your order 10 pies you can receive a pie by keeping the coupons on the boxes read more

I eat at Emilio's love the pizza the food is delicious and the people are great the best part is it's very close to my house

Former location of Spano's (yuck), went to dinner with coupon from back of Shop Rite receipt. Two pasta entrees for 1 price. Comes with warm, thick, deliciously seasoned bread sticks. First time spouse and I went I had Bolognese (creamy ground beef, carrots.) Request for no peas honored. Get your choice of pasta (rigatoni for me.) Spouse had rigatoni with sausage. He finished it all! Second time I had linguine w/white clam sauce. Very tasty! Some HUGE pieces of clams had to be cut up. Spouse had rigatoni with vodka sauce. Again - he finished all, and I took home my leftovers (including a lonely breadstick.) Obviously, BOGO is a great offer, but would consider going back, as entrees are reasonably priced in the first place. Friendly wait staff. Good for families, seniors, locals, tourists. In addition to dining room, has booths where you can see a variety of freshly made pizzas displayed. Plain or gourmet, very yummy. Take out available. read more

if i could give this place 0 stars i would. first off they messed up my order and when i got it my pizza looked like the delivery guy dropped it . and when i called to tell them about the mistakes and the lady on the argued and told me she put the order in how i said to. and put the delivery guy on the phone and he gave me a huge attitude about how my pizza was on the floor of his car and he never dropped it just giving a huge attitude instead of trying to make it right. and finally after arguing with them for 10 minutes they offered me a new pizza and by this time you think i want your pizza so you can spit in my food? no thank you. i don't even think the food here is great. its mediocre at best. read more

On Sunday, Jan 11, 2015, went to Emilios, Jackson, to pick up dinner for my husband and me. As usual they don't believe in using paper or plastic bags for dinner orders. I had ordered, 3 dishes with tomato sauce. I noticed the top dish, has sauce around the cover but did not think it would be an issue. The next morning, I went to put on the coat I wore to pick up the order and it was covered with sauce. I was annoyed as I had just taken the coat out of the cleaners. I went back to Emilios to speak to the owner. Upon explaining the issue, the owner, the young, tall man, blantanly accused me of trying to get reimbursed for "a poor cleaning job of my coat".Obviously he does not understand English, so I explained the issue to him AGAIN.. Nastily he said, "get it cleaned and I will pay you for it. We always make sure our dinners are packaged "properly. Well you didn't. I told him where to take his money. I Will Not Use Emilios in Jackson again. Be Careful if you do take out meals. read more
