I would like to thank Filippo's for allowing the dance recital girls to stay between shows in this excellent Pizza restaurant. The restaurant is immaculately clean and the food is outstanding thank you. Your kindness was appreciated. read more

I'm torn on this place. On one hand, the pizza is tasty and there are plenty of seating options. On the other hand, there are no prices on the menu board and the two older gentlemen working there were not welcoming. Maybe they are happier to serve locals. I'm not really sure... read more

Perfect spot to eat at after a show at the State Theater. Filippo's has a really large dining area and quickly accommodated our group of 20 with 6 fresh, hot and delicious pies- with exceptional service!! read more

Love the pizza options very clean traditional style pizza restaurant very friendly staff and great customer service. I'm definitely going back. Next time I gotta try the 28" special pizza read more

Filippo's Famous Pizza - Pizza Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

I didn't have high hopes when I walked in. It is an old school pizzeria and the decor fits. It has been here forever which I respect. The garden salad with chicken was lovely. The pizza unfortunately wasn't great. It looked like it was sitting out for a while. Tasted old and flavor was lacking. 2.5 stars but I will bump to 3 based on the fact its been there forever. read more

Filippo's....what's all this chatter about? Lots of good reviews and who doesn't like a good slice? So I stroll down the hill, politely turn away two kids who tried to hit me up for cash as well as a lady meth-head who had less teeth than a one year old. Walk in the front door of this joint and it's right in your face, "Home of the largest pie in town". Behind the counter, all with similar scowls, are Vito, Salvatore, and Domenic...glaring at me like I better not bitch about the vig or it's in the Raritan River wearing concrete shoes for me. So I ask the old wise guy for a slice of cheese and a plate of spaghett, cuz Keto's on hold today. He doesn't take my money, tells me I'll pay later, which is code for "sit down and STFU". And let me tell ya, between Domenic's amount of hair on his Popeye sized forearms or the incredible look of disgust, like I'm his only son and let him down by not joining the Marines, I'm kinda scared. So I sit...and I wait. The younger guy, I'll call him Vito, brings my slice and a plate of pasta with a side loaf of bread, and again tells me I'll pay later. I couldn't help but inspect the slice for gray arm hairs that might have migrated off the old man's arms, seriously, I've seen primates with less hair on their arms. Seems to be all clear, so I dive in. The slice was a solid 8.5. Undercarriage was perfect, crust soft but crunchy, sauce and cheese the right proportion. And the grease rolled off that slice it made me look like a mallard swimming next to the Exxon Valdez. The pasta though? Over cooked noodles that broke when I put a good fork on 'em. The sauce was meant for the pies, not the pasta and if there is such a thing....too much melted mozzarella. So much that you feel like the only people that could chew and swallow that much Mozzarella also have solid careers on pornhub. Relax, I ain't judging. So I'll sum it up, these wise guys deliver a damn good pizza, and let's be honest, that's what their claim to fame is. Make sure you show the Godfather the respect he's earned when you order and you'll be rewarded with an excellent slice of pie, but only pizza people, listen to me, skip the pasta. read more

Ordered pizza through a delivery service and it came late and the pizza was cold. This was an issue with the delivery service and not the restaurant but just wanted to provide some context to my review for this place. Ordered a plain pie and vegetable one. As the pizza was cold, we reheated the pizza in the oven. The flavors of the sauce and cheese were good but the texture was too soggy. I understand that it was delivered late and cold but for those pizza aficionados it did not pass the fold test. I did not want to penalize the place via my review because it was not their fault the pizza was delivered late but the texture of the pizza wasn't cutting it for me. Would want to give this place a shot again but would eat there (instead of getting delivery) so I can have it fresh. read more

Tried giving this pizza another chance. I was visiting a fellow alumni last week and she ordered delivery. The guy came 2 hours later. he was dirty and had a foul odor and his hands were filthy. We decided we didn't want a pizza from that guy .He mumbled something in a foreign language and started eating the pizza as he left. I am truly sadden by what has happened to Flippo"s and the kind of people they hire for delivery. read more

A historical pizza shop that's lasted through the generations for a reason! Love stopping into Filippo's for a pizza and/or cheesesteak. Prices are great and it's always a quick service. The crust is always nice and crispy, perfect ratio of sauce cheese and toppings, and a hearty amount of beef in the cheesesteaks and the stromboli. If you're looking to grab a quick bite in New Brunswick, Filippo's is sure to satisfy anyone's craving! read more

We were going to a concert last night and asked a friend to recommend a nearby place to eat at. She recommended Filippo's or Panico's. We saw Filippo's first..............BIG MISTAKE............we got 2 margherita slices, which were good........but the eggplant large here was NOT GOOD. We regret not having gone to Panico's. It looked good but was too soft and soggy..............we were in a hurry to get to the show and were hungry, so we did not complain. What a waste of money We do not recommend your restaurant. My friend is not Italian............we are.......that is probably why she likes your food and we do not..........I would say the pizza gets a 10..............the eggplant parm gets a 3. We have gotten eggplant parm sandwiches at lots of pizzerias and are usually happy...........not with yours though! The bathroom needs to be SPRUCED UP AND CLEANED!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside but staff are very sweet and helpful and food is delicious

The service is always very good every time I come here. As a downtown New Brunswick worker let me be the first to tell you this place gets very packed around lunch time so go a little early or sit at your desk starving and just come a little after lunch trust me with the massive crowd it's worth it. I usually come here for the pizza nothing else. Well maybe an occasional salad but does one really like to admit they went to a pizzeria to get a salad? (yeah me either). Their pizza is okay. To me, it's just certainly nothing over the top but it also isn't horrible so it's just a little in between for me. So why the " Yay! I'm a fan"? Clever you might ask. Well this place is always super clean, very friendly staff and they have TVs. After sitting in an office all day sometimes I might want to come here unwind and catch some CNN or then again maybe that's just me. But if you're in the area it's not a bad place to try out at all. Maybe i'll expand my list of things I have to order here soon. read more

Filippo's Famous Pizza - Cheeeesy - Pizza Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

I ordered three-cheese pizza slices with extra sauce. I love this pizzeria for its authenticity of Italian food. In the past, I ate their jalapeno peppers calzone and baked ravioli, which were superb. The sauce from this restaurant is very delicious and flavorful. It has a zesty taste. The cheese has a mild and smoky flavor. Overall, I love the thin crust of the pizza and humongous size of each slice. read more

Excellent pizza made by loving hands. I asked for a large pie with eggplant, pepperoni and a little extra sauce and was greeted with an "absolutely." Not only did the pizza get there for the cash -- crisp foldable crust and top notch toppings -- this place is roomy, bright and just downright clean and comfortable. Very friendly staff who seemed to appreciate my business. Outstanding food. Good prices. Great experience. read more

Thin, yieldy crust with lots of "landscape" forms makes the pizza tasty and nice to chew on. Even basic ones like plain + mushroom or plain + pineapple are delivered above average. If you're in the neighborhood watching a show at the State Theater (literally just a few steps around the corner), and need a quick cheap fix, I would try out this joint. read more

Best pizza in New Brunswick hands down. You can never go wrong with just plain. Krispy pie with go amount of cheese and go old plain tomato sauce. read more

Unfortunately i had a terrible experience with this restaurants use of door dash dash yesterday. I made an error with the delivery address and once this was realized and corrected. The next steps still resulted in my money being taken my classroom of students never having the last day of class pizza party that was promised. The person I spoke with at the restaurant was helpful and compassionate, however www.slice aka door dash was comfortable take money for a service that was not delivered. read more

That pizza suck, the mozzarella was old and brittle First time I ever got such a bad pizza in over 20 years from you hiys read more

Nasty straight nasty!! The amount of grease that came off the pizza was gut wrenching and the cheese was some sort of plastic alternative.

Stopped here on a whim, and WOW. The food was to die for. The pizza crust was fresh and had such a great flavor. I ordered a small calzone, I ended up getting the large, however I didn't even mind because it was so delicious! We decided we would make the 3.5 hour drive back another weekend to have this pizza again, it was THAT good! read more

Sometimes when you walk into a good pizza place for the first time you can tell how good the pizza's gonna be by the aroma that first fills your nose. That just happened... I'm here in New Brunswick and needed a quick bite to hold me over until dinner so I stopped in a Filippo's because it was the first place I saw. Only ordered a plain slice, but it was delicious. Nice thin and crispy (not soggy) crust, delicious sauce that wasn't too sweet, and the right amount of cheese. Counter guys seem very friendly and the place is pretty big and clean. Only negative is that the sauce and cheese could have gone up a little higher towards the crust, but even so it was a great effort. Would be happy to come back here again! read more

DISCRIMINATORY. RUDE. DIRTY. I was a customer and local supporter for over 10 years, then the owner refused to give me my pickup order because I was with my service animal. It's cool, I need their pizza like I need to explain my condition to an ape. Not me, nor anyone I ever speak to, will ever eat at this sh*thole again. read more

A few co-workers and I ordered from here for lunch and we got a ham and cheese pizza and it was absolutely delicious. I would recommend and would order again. read more

The pizza here is decent: Some days really good, other days oily/greasy. When I pat-dry the oil with a napkin, the whole napkin becomes see-thru. Not a good sign, unless eating artery-clogging food is your thing! But the reason I'd come back here again is the chicken wings. The wings are crispy, but not too breaded. They're sold in "mild" or "hot", but the mild is hot enough for me. Dipping them in blue-cheese sauce makes it a winning combination! The size of the wings are good too. I'm not sure if they sell boneless wings because I never tried ordering it. Like I said, it's not gonna be the best Italian food you've ever tasted, but you'll definitely enjoy your meal. Ciao!! ;p read more

Filippo's Famous Pizza - Large plain - Pizza Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

Plain pizza is very salty. Not enough sauce. Haven't tried other menu items but don't really want to try given how bad the plain slice was.

Pizza was good. Not awesome. Service was good but not perfect. I ordered online because I was in a class and had a tight schedule. The app allows you to choose a time to deliver....perfect! I chose noon which was out break time. The online menu was confusing so I mis-ordered. They called a few times to confirm. This was no good. I was in class, if the menu was clear there would be nothing to clarify. Delivery was fast, too fast. I wanted a noon. It showed up at 1140. Way to early. I was on the 6th floor in a class and now the class was still going and I had to meet the driver. Overall I rate the pizza as good, the app and ordering process as below average and delivery timing poor!! read more

Never had a bad slice.. my favorite is the White pizza and their Margareta pizza. Service is personable and you can taste the fresh ingredients read more

I asked for a specialty slice and they said it was either $4 or $4.50 for one slice. Not massive slices, nothing fantastic looking either. I wanted to try them but they just looked at me with a "yea, we're better than you - how would you even question our prices plebeian" I'm asking for a slice of pizza not a piece of the Sistine chapel Get over yourselves, place was empty during lunch hour - I wonder why ... I didn't get the pizza and wrote this review instead Revenge tastes sweeter than any of their slices would read more

My friend, a customer of Filippo's FOR OVER TEN YEARS was kicked out for being inside with his SERVICE ANIMAL. He was picking up an order. Not only is this entirely illegal, but this shows that, clearly, they have no genuine regard for their guests and customers. How dare they dismiss and turn away a patron of theirs for over a decade? Also, it pains me to know that they never took the time to educate themselves on what a service animal is for and how one should approach let alone acknowledge people who have them. Until they educate themselves on ADA procedures (which are imperative for businesses to know and practice), I will never go back here again. read more

Although I had passed by Filippo's many times during my time in New Brunswick, I never actually tried their food till my last year in college. The restaurant interior is fine, better than you might expect from a pizza parlor in New Jersey. The food on the other hand, is what makes this place get 5 stars from me. I have literally sampled EVERY place that serves pizza in New Brunswick, and in my experience, Filippo's was without doubt, the best of the bunch. It clearly has to do with how they make their dough, or the quality of their toppings. They have your standard selection of toppings, and they also have a special "MONSTER" size pizza pie. Aside from pizza, they also have fantastic Stromboli (although be warned, they are HUGE). I don't normally go for pizza's in the first place, but after I tried Filippo's, whenever I was in the mood for pizza, I always went back to them. read more

Went here after the New Brunswick Tree Lighting Ceremony to get pizza. Pizza is ok, a bit greasy, nothing special. Service was quick, but they weren't too friendly or patient. I guess that's what happens when there are tons of people there. There is a lot of seating available throughout the pizzeria. They also have other food items on their menu, from wings to chicken parm. Not sure if I'd return by choice, but their pizza satiated my hunger that evening. read more

My brother and I stopped off here when I was moving home from " the Big Apple" (they don't call it that in New York City, by the way). Cool interior. We ordered two 'plain' slices each (that's half a pie and they call cheese slices 'plain' slices in The City that never Sleeps). Tried to order a Pepsi, but they only had Coke. Couldn't actually order a Coke anyhow because the Coke delivery driver never came! The slices were great anyway!! read more

Not what it once was, pizza was just okay. This used to be the best pizza in town. Hopefully I visited during a bad day.

I'm a Californian and happened to be staying at the Heldrich Hotel which is right next to this mom and pop shop. I was really craving pizza and have never tried "NY style" pizza. To my surprise, it was bombtastic and relatively cheap for the serving! I believe $1.85 a slice and it was just freakin' delicious. I also tried the meatball spaghetti which was to my surprise, also really yummy and there was so much food! Overall, I had a good food experience but I wouldn't dine in. The place looked very unappealing and unclean. Other than that, pizza is verrrry good! Better and cheaper compared to another pizza joint about a block the opposite way. read more

Nothing famous about this pizza. Nice place and people overall but the pizza was nothing to write home about, nor a good review on yelp, and didn't sit well shortly thereafter for 3 out of the 4 o f us who went. If I ever make it back in this area, I will be getting pizza elsewhere. read more

Horrible service! Spent 15 minutes on the phone trying to place a very simple order which was one large chicken calzone, one small mushroom calzone, and an order of onion rings. The man on the other line had to keep putting us on hold and checking with someone else to figure out what we were saying. We had him confirm the order before we hung up and assumed everything was fine. About an hour later, we get one chicken calzone, one small mushroom calzone, and a bottle of orange Fanta. What we were charged for was our original order with the onion rings. They told us if they had to come out again, they would have to charge us for the onion rings again PLUS another delivery fee. Basically, we got a $7 bottle of Fanta no one likes and no onion rings. Not to mention he also got our address wrong and delivered our food to our neighbors. The food is great, but due to the horrible service, we will not be ordering again. read more
