I got 2 slices and a drink for 6.00 plus tax, and they have specials every Wednesday. Not only is the food and prices amazing but also the service is outstanding, the service is friendly and they make you feel welcomed. I arrived 2 minutes to closing and the guy made me a whole pie with a smile. You wouldn't get that anywhere. The ambience is updated and it's a very nice and comfy ambiance. I would definitely recommend it if you pass by Tom's River.

SH does a large takeout and delivery business as well as the store ordering. Parking is easy out front. The place is clean and service is good. It is a bustling place at times with young people running the front. The pizzeria boasts many, many selections of by the slice as well as a menu of pies to order whole. Lots of add ins and drinks both bottled and fountain style. The pizza is tasty. It is served hot. I especially like a cheese pie but found their specialty pies like the cheesesteak & chicken parm pizza delicious also. The cheesesteak in particular tastes like a breakfast pizza due to its cheese, cheesesteak that is seasoned like sausage and it's white cheese sans sauce. It would be over the top great with sautéed onions, mushrooms and green peppers on it. The chicken parm with red sauce and chunks of chicken with yummy cheese is also tasty. They have salads, Stromboli, sandwiches, garlic knots etc to add on. I really like the entree Caesar salad. The dressing is good and the lettuce is fresh. It comes with toasty bread. I will continue to frequent this quintessential Toms River pizzeria as it checks all the boxes

My husband had a veal dish with red peppers, melted mozzarella over a pasta in a pesto sauce. Also excellent. The service was really good.

I wouldn't eat that again. Maybe their thin crust is better idk. The chicken franchise sauce was lemony and good. The chicken quality was just okay for me. They put the pie back in the oven and only the cheese cooked more. The dough was still doughy. They offered to make another pie or take it off the bill. We opted off the bill. I'd get the same dough. I won't come back. If people like this pizza and this is normal, people need to try real Pizza. This place belongs on kitchen nightmares imo. The ambiance is basic. The waitress we tipped well wasn't her fault. Nothing else to say.
