Our son took us out for a birthday dinner and we decided on Italian food. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and told to choose a table. We decided to sit by the window on the pizzeria side. The bench seating was a bit tight, but we were committed. Tang, our server, was very sweet and took our drink order. She then gave us ample time to look over the menu. My shrimp scampi over penne was fantastic! The dish was bursting with flavor, and truly was the best scampi I've had in a long time. The penned vodka dish my son had, was packed with flavor, as was my husband's square pizza. We will definitely be returning. read more

Palumbos is a good pizza place to take out or eat at. The service is pretty well here. The ambiance is clean and pleasant.

We came here for a quick bite. We got 2 grandma slices . one regular and one vodka Grandma. Both were delicious. Service was quick and friendly. If you're looking for slices they had a nice selection. Eventually we will come back to try here for dinner! read more

The pizza is terrible. Not sure how this place is in business. Everything behind the counter looks old dried out and sad. Gave them two tries. Definitely not for me. read more

HUGE shoutout to Palumbo's ! We had a group of 18 and they absolutely crushed it, accommodating us on LAST MINUTE notice! We ordered pizza and it was amazing, thank you" read more

There is a check-in Yelp offer for 20% off but they won't honor it. I asked if it can be used and told by the waitress she will ask. After 10 mins I left my table and asked at the counter. Clearly it says to check in and like them on Yelp for 20% off and after seeing their prices for pasta and sausage "18.00" and I asked for 4.50 worth of broccoli and also told, "I don't know what you will be charged"... I don't know what my bill is... but I asked for broccoli and broccoli rabe in my pasta. :/ well this our first time here and probably the last. We got 6 garlic knots and iceberg salad. The ambiance is loud too. read more

Elliot & I had dinner at Palumbo Restaurant which was scrumptious. I had shrimp parm & spaghetti w/marinara sauce. Elliot had sausage over penne pasta w/butter which was delish. We had a big salad. Everything we had knocked Villa out of the park. We have a new Italian restaurant to patronize. No more Villa. Villa is going down hill. I know its a bit late, but my family & I had my birthday celebration there on Nov. 30, 2024. The spaghetti they served me was in a tangled ball. I should have sent it back, but I didn't. I brought it home & threw it out. The chef screwed it up. How in the world do you serve pasta looking like a knotted hair ball? Disgusting!! read more

I'm a fan of this pizza. Great slices salads haven't tried food but it looked good. Nice size portions. Great to go grab a slice while shopping in that plaza read more

Stopped in for a quick slice. Got the vodka chicken slice and a white slice. It was somehow $9 paying cash. The vodka sauce itself is tasty, the chicken was not great but the slice itself was a pizza without sauce where they just put vodka sauce on top which is very weird and not how you make it. You can tell they are making 10 pies then putting the toppings rather than baking them into the pie. I should have taken a picture. read more

Palumbo's Pizzeria is a local gem! The pizza is consistently delicious with fresh ingredients and the perfect crust. Service is friendly and efficient, and everything comes out hot and on time. You can really tell they care about quality and their customers. Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

First time here, we are from Delaware and the food and staff were great! Thank you, definitely coming back

Here again, 1st time since my friend passed. Place looks clean, well maintained. Service good. I ordered the usual for here, cheesesteak with mushrooms and hot peppers. Excellent. They even toast the roll. read more

Place was rlly bad, workers were disrespectful to willing to pay good customers, chef walked out the bathroom put his hands in his pants to fix himself i would assume and then touched fries without gloves, zero tolerance for yartibamba, such a shame on what happened to what was once a fine establishment, truly heartbreaking read more

Food is always cold never fresh pizza I'm done coming here the drivers like to tip themselves when you don't tip

Poor customer service. The counter staff was annoyed. I only wanted one fountain soda with a couple of slices, and I corrected them when they gave me two. I didn't drink the other, but they were happy to charge me for it even after I complained. The manager or owner watched as I said something and just ignored my frustration with an employee who didn't listen to me at first or my complaint afterward. This was not the hosted dining room side either. Just want a couple of slices and one soda was all. read more

This is one great place. My favorite to come to when I come to NJ (I live in California). Staff is nice but so so so great. You must come by here when in town. Everything is good. read more

Palumbo Restaurant & Pizza - a pizza on a pan - Pizza Near Me - Holmdel, New Jersey

Everything we have tried this far is great here, we live so close to them but since they aren't on Door Dash or Uber we never really trued them but our teen daughter told us they deliver themselves so we made our first order, then another the next week lol. The linguini and white clam sauce is wonderful, the meatballs were a little bland for me, I like a little crust on my balls lol but they are good, eggplant park was good too. Now what I judge all Italian by is the chicken parm. It was a nice portion, comes with pasta, they aren't cheap charging you extra for pasta as I notice some other places do now, come on that's not a dinner! The chicken was tender, nicely breaded and tasty sauce and cheese, a classic. But the show stopper was their hot honey pepperoni pizza, it is amazing, we always order it from Corbo which is brick oven style but they are so tiny, and we need to order too many, this is a nice large pie, crispy crust, perfect amount of cheese to pepperoni ratio and perfect drizzle pf hot honey. Our son liked it so much he wants to order a pie to take back to college with him. Give them a try,! read more

Living in Middletown for over 30 yrs, we tried every Pizzaria one could imagine. Ordered from Palumbos for the first time. Amazing thin crust pizza and awesome calamari! read more

Refused to honor a Yelp check in coupon, worse insulted my intelligence and the App's as well stating I must be checked into another location..... I screen shotted the coupon and the location! The 25% tip I would have left would be $10, instead left $1 so it cost me the same, waitress demeanor changed toward the negative when coupon presented..... read more

I've been ordering since they opened. Food was always good quality at a fair price. Not any more! Chicken is tough and stringy. Prices are ridiculous! I would be better off going to a high end Italian restaurant at these prices. Palumbo's , you should be ashamed of yourself. read more

manager/owner sucks. food is decent some servers are okay they seem to lose the good servers, shows how well the place is ran.

There is no place in NJ that has the crust this place does. it's so crispy. I love the buffalo and bbq pizza although since they changed the chicken I like it a little less. The regular pizza is really good! The chicken parm dinners are delicious and the sauce is perfect! read more

Terrible customer service. My husband ordered catering from them for a work picnic. He was late in picking it up and a woman calls him very rudely saying his food is here. He says he's on his way and she hangs up. Then he gets there. There's 3 people behind the counter not paying attention. He's waiting. Finally he gets their attention and he says I'm looking for my catering order. They say, yeah, it's there. He tells them he needs to pay. The guy yells at him, "Pick it up off the counter and then you can pay." My jaw literally dropped. They don't deserve to still be open if they're going to treat customers this way. And the food wasn't great either. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Always have fresh slices out for customers. If you would like something you do not see displayed- they will gladly make fresh for you. Excellent service, and management. Been coming here since I was 14 back in high school, and am now a mother of two, 33 years old STILL COMING AND NOW I COME WITH MY KIDS !!! The kids love the plain pizza but my all time favorite is and always will be, chicken alfredo with broccoli!!! read more

The pizza here is really good - especially the crust. Very thin and nice. if they could use real basil on their margaritas that would have been even better. Just don't order garlic bread there. The bread is really really bad. Poor quality, yucky, and they don't use real garlic - some sort of powder, I guess. Their garlic bread put me off garlic bread for the rest of my life. read more

I have to say I have given them several opportunities as the location is so convenient. If you want a quick slice ok but know if you use a credit card it does not matter the amount they charge YOU extra to pay their fee They lie instead and are unethical We ordered the Stuffed flounder only came with Broccoli no salad no Pasta $23.95 that fine watching weight The flounder was stuffed with BREAD CRUMBS NO CRAB when we called he admitted yes that is stuffed with Bread crumbs then when we brought to his attention his online menu he said oh I am not the Chef so he owns the place but does not know his menu then he back peddled and so oh yes their is crab mixed in Terrible just admit the error will not go back read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. We used to be frequent customers of Palumbos. The customer service here is TRASH. Mean and nasty employees. The owner is so rude. What drew the line for us as customers was when my mother ordered a roast beef sandwich and the entire thing was grizzle. Not only were they rude to my mom about it, they were rude to my father on a SEPARATE occasion. We used to go minimum of 4 times a month here. After that incident with the food and another with rude service, they've never gotten our business since. Spend your money somewhere else. read more

This place has average pizza, good for when you're in the shopping plaza and need to grab a bite to eat. They offer a variety of slices. The pasta dishes are good, I've had the chicken Francese, the Marsala and the manicotti. The antipasto was average. read more

Was shopping at Marshals and saw Palumbos.Ordered a EGGPLANT PARM. and VEAL PARM. subs to bring home.Well let me tell ya,they were delicious and the meat tender and the eggplant cut nice and thin and the best part not overbreaded and no skin.It was not oversauced to give you heartburn like many pizzerias. Everyone was pleasant while waiting and very clean establishment.Will definitely return! read more
