    My friend Anthony tipped me off that I needed to try out Oakwood and I'm glad that he did. Oakwood has a nice, old-school pizzeria vibe (complete with booths and a wood countertop). The staff was very friendly and service was quick. I decided to grab a plain slice and a peppers & onions slice. The plain had a perfectly thin, crispy base with excellent cheese and a delicious sauce. The crust was a combination of crunchy, bready, and flavorful. The peppers and onions slice, a classic in its own right, was beautifully executed. Fresh, tasty veggies with a solid structure (and perfectly foldable!). Oakwood makes some good pizza, I hope to return to try some of their vegan pizza!

    The smug gentleman in the orange is the manager that refused their frequent card nor did he try to make it right in any way.

    Beware-New Mgt- I've been coming here since 1995 and it's always been a very friendly environment. In fact, they used to have frequent flyer cards that made you feel apart of the family by being rewarded for return service. Well, new mgt. doesn't share the same business acumen to bring us back. Sadly, many mid - level dining joints and bars have dropped perhaps the most important aspect of customer relations. The manager, lol, so says this reddish brown haired, portly, opposite of personable, more entranced with his phone as he sat in a booth complete disconnected and pompously uninterested in maintaining any form of client retention especially one that has been coming there for 27 years. He without a motion told me that my card is not excepted by new management and then shrugged me off like I wasn't even standing in front of him. This is not a person that they should have managing this restaurant by any way, shape matter or form . I really couldn't tell you how the food was because I walked out and I don't mean to sound like a torn, ex-lover, I wasn't even offered a free fountain soda. but I will not be back. There's too many other places that appreciate our business that I'd much rather patronize. Thanks

    The best go to pizza spot in central NJ! Every pie they make is amazing but my favorite is Buffalo chicken pizza - one of the few places to make it the authentic way with a white base. Their blue cheese ranch sauce is the perfect amount of tang to compliment the hot sauce. Quick, reliable, high quality, consistent - what else is there to say.

    I used to eat here every Friday with coworkers. The customer service was excellent and I loved their buffalo chicken pizza! After a few years I found out I have a wheat allergy and had to go gluten free. Their gluten free buffalo chicken pizza was just as delicious, just a bit more pricey than I could spend every week. A few years ago I moved to TX, where you can't find good pizza very easily. So, on our two day trip to NJ, we had to fit in a visit and spending the money for a gluten free pie was worth it. It was as delicious as ever!!

    People are very polite. Good vibes. Pizza was ok. But not totally bad. Definitely better than many spots.

    Man, a buddy of mine raved about this place for months and we finally got a chance to stop in after a days of fishing. We ordered the Buffalo Chicken Pizza.. We ordered two to go, not sure if they added something to it to make it so addictive. That doe and that sauce and the cheese, and the oven , and the whatever else makes it so dang good. Try this place you won't regret it..

    This area of Jersey, like many others is flooded w/local pizzerias. In fact, there's at least one for just about every neighborhood. There are at least 3 other closer pizzerias to where I work, yet Oakwood has established itself at the top of the list. Like lots of Jersey pizzerias, it's sits quietly in the back of a plaza along a heavily traveled road. In fact, you'd barely notice it from the street, but don't let it's hidden demeanor fool you. Oakwood has some of the best slices of pizza in the area. The crust is crispy, tomato sauce flavorful, and cheese nice and gooey. Some notable slices include the buffalo chicken, grandma, and plain old cheese. The sandwiches, including D'Tony Soprano, a generous serving of prosciutto, capicola, Genoa salami, and mortadella w/pesto, tomato, fresh mozz, roasted red peppers and balsamic vinaigrette on focaccia, are also worthy of mention. The prices are great, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the vibe is old school pizzeria w/several booths spread out amongst the modestly large restaurant. I would love to come back and try one of their pasta or meat dishes one day. Thanks Oakwood for killing it and providing me with some delicious Italian fare.

Their stock answer was humorous after hearing it recites by all three servers: "It's in the oven" I guess practice makes perfect. Standard salad with balsamic, same as every mid pizza/food place I have been before. Red snapper special was way tough on the outside, like chewing leather that you never would really want to eat?! Best thing here was the pork chop, sweet spicy peppers, with onions yummy brown sauce, although the pork was a tad overdone. Overall, this place is a pass.

We were brought downstairs to a large room full of tables and were the only ones in there. We wondered if we'd insulted someone, or if one of us might be 'offensive', (no one was) but as it turns out, it was a 'Godsend'. We're all in our 70's and hearing/speaking can be challenging in a crowded/noisy dining room. We remained the only ones there for almost the entire 2 hours we were there and really enjoyed ourselves without having to yell or ask "WHAT!?" We shared a couple of salads (Greek and Arugula) and calamari, all very good. My wife had the seafood capellini and one sister the seafood fra diavolo, which they both enjoyed. My other sister had a seafood salad and my BIL went for the double cut pork chops, which he too enjoyed. I opted for the Halibut / risotto. Halibut is not an easy fish to make 'moist or juicy'. I make it at home and it comes out 'pretty good' (at least my wife says so) but here, this portion was fantastic! So light an flaky and tasty. Definitely give it a try if you enjoy Halibut. We all shared a couple of desserts... a home made carrot cake and a chocolate cake from 'outside'. Both good, but the carrot cake was served warm, which was a first for all of us... and it was terrific! Without a doubt the best carrot cake we'd ever had, so save a little room for their carrot cake if/when go. Our servers, Alyssa and Dagmar provided excellent service as well as some humorous dialogue while we were there. Made our meal just that much better!. Yes... it's a BYOB!

When the extra item was found on the bill there was a bit of a dispute and back and forth but they fixed it in the end. The wrong dish was a compromise on our party's part, one of our friends accepted the plate even though it was not what she ordered, there was no move to fix it on the restaurant's part. As far as the food, it was not my top Italian choice in the area, especially when factoring in price. I felt the food was not as flavorful as some of the competitors nearby, especially the appetizers.
