    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.

Service was tied with the food for first place! Starting with the friendly and helpful hostess, every single employee offered a greeting and a smile. Our server was Elijah, he was wonderful! Warm, friendly and professional. He was attentive and perceptive. He didn't hover but anytime we needed he re-appeared. We were greeted by two out of the three managers, 10 out of 10. Now for the food! We ordered the rice balls, maple wings a Pepper pig pizza and for my cocktail I had the blue Hawaiian. Every thing was delicious hot and freshly made. The outside and inside are visually appealing. I would describe it as modern meets industrial with a nice dose or rustic, very nice.

To make matters worse, a server took away one of the pizza trays while my dad was still actively eating from it--I'm not exaggerating. It was only 9:04 PM, and we were simply finishing our meal before leaving. On top of that, I ordered the Bucatini, and it was severely overcooked. My mom ordered another pasta that also wasn't good. Overall, a very disappointing dining experience with poor service and subpar food.

    April 2025 Update: The original owner, Dario, has returned & the food is better than ever!…read more During my last visit, I swore I would never return after the experience with the new owners. But as soon as I heard that Dario was back, my entire family made it a point to stop by and see if the rumors were true. Thankfully they were, and the same amazing food we knew & fell in love with is back in Metuchen! Everything we had this time around was a complete 180 from the previous visit. My favorite pasta, the Fettucine Mare, (vodka sauce pasta with crab, scallops and shrimp) was back on the menu and oh how we have missed it!! Other favorites of the night were the bruschetta, shrimp fra diavolo, and salmon. It's amazing how different food can be when you have ownership that truly cares about the sourcing of ingredients. The seafood tasted fresher than ever, produce was of the highest quality. I could go on and on about how good this meal was, but you definitely need to try it yourself to understand. Five stars!

Our server was super friendly and checked in with us a perfect amount of times. The food was really good. I had a Margherita slice which was very good: flat crust with a bit of chew. Perfect. The front case had several specialty slices (eg slices with rigatoni on top). The table shared apps of calamari and rice balls. Both were delicious and served piping hot. I'd definitely stop by again when in town.

    Updated review from two years ago, I tried the a margarita pizza yesterday after taking a…read moresabbatical. I am lowering my rating because the pizza crust isn't the same. Please note that you may like this type of "thin crust". The bottom of the crust felt and tasted like maybe it's over coated with cornmeal; the texture felt gritty crunchy. This would work if anyone prefers this texture. The sauce just tasted like it was freshly ladled over (no oven baked in flavor). The topping left very little space for the crust edge. I am still stuck on how unfamiliar the crust texture was. I am used to thin crust texture from raised bread dough not a corn-meal like feel. Another reviewer was also baffled with the crust. Reheat review: unfortunately, was not convincing to nudge up the rating. From tip to mid way of the slice, the structure was floppy. From mid way to the edge of the slice: structure held up. Flavor was still good, maybe now better tasting bc sauce now tasted baked in because of the re heating. Service was on time.
