    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

    The owner of this restaurant is always a pleasure to interact with! He is friendly and funny! I always feel like a valued customer! The pizza is great and the prices are reasonable. I just found out that they offer a discount for cash payment. I can't possibly say enough good things about this restaurant and highly encourage all to visit!

    That is a hairy arm my friends

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Cheese pizza slice with extra sauce
    Mitesh J.

    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.

    Clean. Bright. Nice little place.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    We finally had the opportunity to try Krispy Pizza, and it definitely did not disappoint!…read more We ordered a round pie made half pepperoni and half cheese, and every slice was packed with flavor. The crust was perfectly crisp on the outside while still soft and chewy on the inside. The sauce had a great balance of sweetness and tang, and the cheese was melted to perfection. What really stood out was the quality of the ingredients and the attention to detail. The pepperoni had just the right amount of spice, and even the plain cheese side was incredibly flavorful. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. If you're looking for great pizza with fresh ingredients, a crispy crust, and authentic flavor, Krispy Pizza is definitely worth a visit. We'll absolutely be back for more! Highly recommended!

    Been seeing their fun family videos for quite sometime so when a work trip lead me to the east…read morecoast I had to try it. Found their location near Rutgers university and popped in for an early dinner so it wasn't very crowded. They had a good amount of selections in their showcase. Went with the following: Buffalo chicken pinwheel - this was good. Could have been a little hotter but I was hungry so didn't bother to reheat. Great flavors and textures. Crispy outside with soft chicken and buffalo buttery flavor internal. Great for a snack for all that like buffalo chicken. Sicilian - great pillowy fluffy bite with everything you're looking for in a Sicilian. Great fresh ingredients complimented each other well. I would get this every time. Margarita - just like the Sicilian, you can taste the quality ingredients and certainly with the crispy charred bottom made the crust flavor pop nicely. Overall really happy with the trio I got and loved the experience from walking in, ordering, indulging and being thanked on my way out. True class through and through here!
