This is our go-to pizza spot in the area. Solid Italian food, our order is always correct, and the delivery time is quick. We like their chicken wings (always super crispy), pizzas, mozzarella sticks, zucchini sticks, and salads. It's a pretty large menu and we haven't tried anything that we haven't liked.

Justin S.

The staff is friendly and the pizza is fantastic. Try the grandma slice, you won't regret it.

Pizza came out soupy the last 2 times I ordered. The cheese slid off the entire pizza. Not sure if they have new people here but wasn't great. Gotta bump it down to 4 stars.

A 16" Large Pizza Pie (half pepperoni, bottom half garlic basil) The four corner paradise.. need i say more?

Best pizza I ever had in my life, you need to try this if you even remotely like pizza.

Noelani D.

Very good pizza! We tried two different ones. One was the pizza provolone which is on this super thick crust. The other was the white pizza which was on a thin crust. They were totally different from each other but equally tasty! The Pizza Provolone had more robust flavor, but I'm not sure how I feel about the thick crust. It's good, but it's not as pizza-y to me. (And it's served square instead of circle so that's a personal dislike.) Both pizzas were delicious hot and fresh, but as leftovers to eat cold the next day, they didn't quite hit the mark for me.

Amazing food pizza is the best try the bacon chicken ranch and boneless chicken bites

Omg!!!! No exaggeration !!! Some of the best pizza and garlic knots we've ever had and we didn't get fresh slices! Their slogan says "people over profit" and it shows in their service and taste in food! We ordered two garlic knots, and when she brought it to our table, there were four, two on the house just because. Just really sweet. Look at all that fresh garlic!!!! *homer drool *

Meatball slice and a bacon chicken ranch slice

Good, solid pizza that I would go back and get another slice anytime I'm in the area. Great business all around and well run. I read that the owner took out a loan at the beginning of the pandemic to pay his employees and that to me says a lot. I love supporting small businesses especially ones like this that really care about their employees and the community!

I stopped by with a couple of friends for a quick dinner at 8:05 pm. We asked if they're BYOB and the server didn't know what that meant. We explained and he said, I don't know. He stood around listening and heard a customer tell us where to go to buy a bottle of wine. We returned at 8:28 pm, my friend sat at their patio and waited for someone to come out but another server just stared from inside. Not until she got up and went inside was she told that they're not sitting anyone because they close at 9pm. What upsets me is that they're not very customer oriented. We're very disappointed to not have been allowed to even order a slice and sit without being waited on. The one star is for the Poor customer service. They rather lose three customers than try to accommodate us. If it were 5 minutes to closing I'd understand but that's ridiculous. Another friend went inside to ask if they could reconsider without them waiting on us and she turned me away.

Fried Calamari usually very good was so over cooked. It should never have been sent off for delivery. Now we're just eating the cost of it.

Pizza was delicious. Delivery service was quick. The calamari was obviously overcooked and too tough to eat. It should have never been sent for delivery. Very disappointed.

Grandma's Pie w sausage, onions, mushrooms

Mona M.

While we were down in Belmar, a friend had recommended this restaurant to us. We also learned that the owner was featured in the news recently having taken a line of credit to pay his staff during the lockdown- what a wonderful consideration to his crew. We enjoyed the "Federico's Salad" which was fresh and big enough for two and more. We decided on a Grandma's pie with sausage, onions, and mushroom. Although the crust was crisp and hot, the pie was too wet. Perhaps we shouldn't have had the toppings. Our waitress was accommodating, attentive and friendly. We took the leftovers home to enjoy on another day.

Whenever we are down the shore we try to make a stop at Federico's because they never disappoint. The sweet tomato sauce they use in their pizza and dishes is truly one of a kind and so delicious. The crust on the pizza is crispy and light and also very flavorful. Their entrees are huge enough to eat for two. Two thumbs up! read more

A staple in town - very popular. Quite warm inside from the ovens and body heat. Pizza is standard NY style and classic Italian entrees that are nice in portion size and flavored well. Great white pizza, garlicky flavor. The cheesesteak however (although stuffed) was a little flavorless and very messy--the oil seeping through the bread, bag, and onto my clothes. No bueno. I will say the half size was more than enough though for the average person. Have not found service to be overly friendly here. Would still return for some classic, old school fare. read more

Good, not great, this week. Considering all the other pizza places nearby, competition is tight. As usual, we went right during busy season-Friday dinner. I have had worse but overall chewy, a bit stale and cheese did nothing to make this a great pie. Easy pass for other local places.

These guys have been here forever. And for a middle-of-the road pizza place, it has morphed into a decent restaurant. Keep in mind, though it's not gourmet, bring the whole family and it won't break the bank. I wanted the hot mussels with linguini. Very tasteful and Gianna, my server, got right on it. Must admit that when they bring bread w/butter to the table, it was enough for three people. That threw me for a loop. Most restaurants are getting "tighter" with their bread offerings. Not Federico's. read more

We had a quick lunch here today and it was great. From the outside we weren't sure if it was open, but once we got closer we realized there were quite a few people there. It was seat yourself service and we were greeted by a server quickly. If you want slices you order at the counter and if you want to see the whole menu the server will bring it out to you. We ended up getting slices- grandmas slice (absolutely delicious), peppers and onion, Buffalo chicken, pepperoni. All the slices were reheated to perfection. I like when a slice of pizza isn't floppy when you hold it up, but isn't tough either. This was just perfect. We overachieved and got 6 garlic knots and ended up packing 4 to take home. Everyone working here was super nice! We're so glad we stopped by to grab a quick bite before going home. read more

I've been looking around for a really good meatball parm sub in the area lately and have been sadly disappointed up until last night when I got one from Federico's. It was delicious. The bread, meatballs, cheese, and sauce were all spot on. I think I was there in the mid-90s but hadn't been back. My mistake. Going to try the chicken parm next time and if it's as good as the meatball parm was, I've found my spot! read more

You can't go wrong with the pizza. This time we got the one with vodka sauce. Not my personal preference as I like a "wetter" pizza and thought it could have used more sauce. My favorite is their white pizza with the mozzarella and ricotta. Best around. They have a great outdoor dining room so if you are in the area, support a small business who has done so much to keep their employees paid. read more

The order was large and delicious! Piping hot as well. Carol chose the Pappardelle al Telephono Nostro, house made pasta, mozzarella, tomato-cream sauce and fresh basil. this was a large order and my wife loved it. I chose the Tortelloni alla Bergamasca, veal tortellini with black truffle and rosemary veal reduction. Excellent as well! Dessert consisted. of a shared Pistachio Creme Brulee that was perfect. The restaurant is BYOB and I recommend making a reservation. Our server, Khrystna, was superb

It's truly one of the "last of the Mohicans"--a classic, old-school Italian joint that you just don't see much anymore. I'm not knocking the new, modern restaurants and their creative concepts, but if you're looking for a really good, affordable Italian dinner in a great atmosphere, this is your spot. The moment you walk in, it feels timeless, which only adds to the charm. They have great live music most nights, the owners and staff are incredibly friendly, and the wine bottles are very reasonably priced. It's tucked into a unique, up-and-coming neighborhood that's a mix of industrial and residential (with some really nice new condos being built). If you want a great night out with good music, good people, and delicious food without breaking the bank, you need to check this place out.

It's a cozy space, nothing super fancy, but really that's all you need sometimes in a neighborhood Italian joint. Everyone at my table raved about their food from the pasta Arrabiata, to the veal special to what I had which was the crab pasta. There was so much crab and the sauce was so light. I can't get over it. I ate my leftovers that same night. Looking forward to visiting soon again

Flavia's on Cookman Ave is beautiful for the beautiful with beautiful servers serving only beautiful Roman inspired fare.

For a more hearty take, polpette con polenta, translation: amazing beef & pork meatballs on a light serving of polenta with the most amazing garlic bread. This could be your entire meal.

You also have the BYOB option however don't you worry if you forget your wine they have a few options on the menu. Our favorite was the Suppli which is like an Arancini with a spicy red sauce. The artichokes had a nice crunch however we weren't a fan of the sauce it came with (Thankfully it was in the side). Our favorite pasta was the Al Tartufo, they don't skimp on the cheese or the truffles! The Zucca e Noci was our least favorite. The brown butter sauce was over powering and the tiny pieces of butternut squash made you feel cheated however the walnuts added a nice texture . Overall the pasta (Gnocchi and Fusilli) was fresh as expected and had a nice bite. We will definetly go back to try other options!

They were barely half full and the noise was not extremely loud. I had the New England clam chowder and as usual it was a great start to the meal. Plenty of clams and potatos in a creamy white sauce. To start the meal they also provided bread sticks with sesame seeds which is a real nice alternative to dinner rolls. With the sticks they also providing a dipping sauce that really tasted great. This the only place I can remember having breadsticks during dinner and loved it. For dinner I had stuffed flounder with rice and vegetables. The fish was prepared real well and came with plenty of crabmeat and stuffing. Inside it was real moist and tasted great. Along with that was rice and mixed vegetables. In the restaraunt the vegetables were a bit harder then I would prefer but when I reheated the meal at home they were perfect. But if you you are an al dente vegetable they would be fine for you. My wife picked something off the specials of the day. Shrimp, Mahi, broccoli, mushrooms, pine nuts all over rice. She felt this was a great meal and would definitely get it again. It was a nice blend of a bunch of tastes and textures, and the pine nuts are always a great addition to a meal. With less people to deal with the service was right on point, with several returns to our table to make sure everything was well. I feel you will always have a great meal here. But at times there will be a wait to get a table and it will be a bit loud... But in my mind you will always walk out smiling

Another week, another rude encounter with the owner and staff. And once again no garlic knots. Why offer something on your menu that you refuse to make? Especially an item that everyone knows is extremely inexpensive and the mark up is huge on. While placing my order I heard two other people ask and be told they ran out. With more than enough pizza options to choose from at the shore you would think Federicos would choose not to blatantly ignore what their loyal customers want. The incompetency in planning to have enough of an item for your customers is more than apparent. Do yourself a favor and make more knots or continue to show your disregard for honoring a menu you created and advertise. After 6 years of ordering a weekly weekend order, I will take my business to a different spot that honors their menu and can spare a few extra cents to roll up some knots. read more

I had Federico's cater a work luncheon, and I am so glad that I did! The penne vodka is the best I've ever had! Everyone was raving about how delicious it was! The chicken parmigiana was equally as delicious. The staff and owners are so nice and easy to work with! They've catered a couple of other luncheons for me since then, and they've all been great! I'm looking forward to working with them more in the future. #DOKIND Wayside Elementary School 2/19/2020 read more

Hats off to those running the show at Federico's. Just saw a great example on TV where you're taking out a line of credit to make sure your employees keep getting a paycheck. Leadership - that's what it's all about and I commend you for exhibiting how it's done. You didn't wait for others to act. We need you in Washington. . .!!!!! You get it - they don't. read more
