We were in town for a music festival in Carteret over July 4th weekend and when i tell you this was one of the highlights of our trip... Hands down the best Vegan pies we've had. Were from central IL and we've traveled all over the country. We had one grandma pie and one of the garlic knot crusts with the sweet peppers and vegan sausage...INSANE, was a half hour drive from the hotel and the pizza was piping hot the entire time. If we ever make our way back to Jersey well be stopping here for sure. Staff was friendly and the wait time wasn't bad at all for how busy they were on a Friday night. read more

Good pizzeria with great Buffalo chicken slices, very good cheesesteak sandwiches, but oddly only average plain pizza size which was a surprise. I was excited to try another pizzeria in the Freehold area with so many great pizzerias in that part of New Jersey. Pat D's buffalo chicken slices are famous so I actually want to try them. And they did not disappoint! Really enjoyed this slice, not my usual choice, but it delivered And might be one of the best of this type! We also decided to order some cheesesteak sandwiches as well, I thought these were very good! If you're looking for a cheesesteak sandwich, this place has what you're craving! I thought the meat was delicious, very good onions and peppers and the mushrooms on the side that I asked for were solid!! Unfortunately to my surprise, their plain slice is average, possibly below average. The sauce was very sweet, hard for me to really put a finger on it, except that it's not made in that typical style that you find in central New Jersey. Almost more like a baked slice of pizza, hard to explain. It's their original recipe and I credit them for that. I'm sure many love it but it wasn't my favorite. read more

Here in Howell Township, you will find a simple pizzeria standing out in this small plaza. I never knew this eatery existed, but I managed to take the opportunity to go there. Brand: 4/5 Pat D's Pizza is located in Wyckoff Mills in a small plaza, operated by the Esposito family. The logo can look inconsistent, from the outdoor sign to the brochure sign to the website sign. Concerning the overall brand, I cannot say that it stands out, at least beyond that plaza. The walls had the classic Italian pizzeria look with the brick walls and the wooden panel floor. Website: 5/5 It immediately opens you to a gallery of special menu items. The overall design of the website has a nice, sleek black tone. I can tell that Pat D's has cultivated their brand for a while now if their website is the end result. Every function including the menu works perfectly without any lag. Wait Time: 5/5 Since my order was a cold dish, I did not have to wait long for it to be served. Ambiance: 4/5 The small space within the establishment accommodates as little as it can contain, such as a space in the front to place an order, and the other side which contains a few tables. The chairs did not have any issue and the table had enough space and did not rock. The television plays a movie in the background at a moderate volume. I prefer eating in silence or with music playing at a low volume. As standard of any Italian restaurant, Pat D's offers a wide selection of menu items with their own twists. Indeed, my order became one of those signature dishes. Food: 4/5 I ordered Pat D's Salad (Small), which is the restaurant's signature dish, filled with lettuce, tomatoes, green olives, onions, pepperoni, mozzarella, and a side of dressing and bread. I do not really like salads, but I will say that this one proved tolerable, with the dressing and pepperoni giving it a tangy flavor. The lettuce and the onion strips give the salad a distinct crunch. The preparation gives the salad a distinct look covered in mozzarella cheese on the surface, which definitely works for such a unique dish. I usually do not like green olives, since I find them too salty and sour, but for this salad, I will say they did not pose too much of a problem. However, the mozzarella served as is unmelted does give it an unassuming flavor. Service: 5/5 The staff managed to take my order without any issues or delays. Cost: 4/5 The food of Pat D's truly reflects the brand. If the Pat D's Salad continues to have its place as the signature dish, I have curiosity how it would taste with melted mozzarella cheese. I can see how the food would impact the website, though they do not have images. As for the preparation itself, the wait time appropriately matched the quality of the salad. Considering how well the salad assembled together, I will say that service clearly cares about their dishes, and they always keep the glass counters full. With everything about the ambiance taken into consideration, I did not have any issue with my dining experience, nor did it try my patience. I can see a television playing a movie working in a larger establishment that accommodates a lot of people, but for a small establishment like Pat D's, perhaps history shows and documentaries would suffice. When it comes to first impressions, I will say that entering Pat D's made a pretty good impression upon me. I do wish the brand aesthetics of the website, and the experience of scrolling through it, reflected the ambiance of the establishment. I preferred the logo on the physical menu out of the three logos to be the consistent logo. With all of this noted, I will say that the signature salad and the experience traveling there was definitely worth it. Rating: 5/5 Stars When deciding between four or five stars, I ultimately chose five stars, because I see hope within this eatery. Pat D's Pizza definitely fits as the pizzeria of Wyckoff Mills. I would consider this pizzeria my second choice if I ever find myself in Wyckoff Mills. Recommend To... Anyone who works around or in Wyckoff Mills and is looking for a quick meal. read more

I live locally so this is typically my go to place. Definitely not fancy inside maybe two or three small tables if that many to sit. The pizza is actually pretty good. I typically get the dinners and the chicken franchese is my favorite. The only negative is the bags they use are awful -typically if I have a slice of pizza, it either leaks through or the silver takeout container breaks the bag and I usually have to hold it with two hands. It happens almost everytime my food is placed into their white bag. Other than that worth trying. read more

A family member has been telling me to come try the chicken cutlets forever so I had to come by. I always drive by but this time I was hungry. The chicken cutlet sandwich was solid. The chicken was hot and had a nice breading on it. Nothing worse than stale cutlets that have that soft breading because its a day old. Not here. The pizza looked good too so next time I am going to try it. Good job Pat D's. 4 stars. read more

The pizza was absolutely delicious, only negative is that we were overcharged for the wrong pizza. They were only able to offer a credit and not a refund which is a little disappointing to be honest. Just make sure you are being charged the correct amount for what you ordered. read more

Stopped to get a quick -less than mediocre sub-at jersey mikes, but luckily there was a line and I walked into Pat d's next door. Went in for a slice walked out with a pounded thin grilled chicken on focaccia with roasted red peppers mozz arugula balsamic glaze on focaccia. The meat was juicy the focaccia and mozzarella must have been fresh made the roasted peppers sweet ! Heaven! Ty to the jersey boys for working so slow. This sandwich was soooo good. With this and a slice of grandma pie which was also very good came out to $15 and change. Totally worth it. And you saved me from a $15 half sub that is mediocre at best. Sandwich was big enough for two to share. I'll eat the leftovers for dinner. Shout out to the pretty girl taking my order. Very sweet and kind. I'll be back. read more

Yo my bad Pat D's. I was scared of COVID back in 2020. No hate on the chin diapers and with the COVID situation under control I now see that you were doing the best you could. Your vegan pizza is so mad good and delicious. Updated review to 5 stars because ya'll deserve it. Thanks for delivering to Freehold you guys rule!!! read more

Upside down pie was amazing. Great job! My New favorite in the area. Also had meatballs and a rice ball which were both great!! Def try the upside down pie!! read more

A lot of people don't know Pat D's is under new ownership. The new owners have been there for about a year now. They have renovated and changed the menu. The place is very clean now and their food is amazing!! Anthony and Gina were so kind to us when we came to eat with our daughter. We sampled the pizza and got a slice of white and a vodka margarita slice while we waited for our entrees. We ordered vodka over penne and the tortellini Alfredo with chicken. Both dishes were amazing. Better than a lot of restaurants. My new favorite spot to go. This is now our go to take out place! Get in there and try their food, you won't be disappointed! read more

The vegan large pizza pie with spinach and roasted peppers was awesome, garlic knots to die for ! I must say I will be a regular at Pat'D's for now on Trust me you must give this place a try you will be hooked ! read more

Excellent food and service. Great plain pie and garlic knots. My new local spot that I'm glad I found.

Got a buffalo chicken pizza. Crust was great but the chicken tasted microwaved and the pie was a saucy mess.

The best pizza in the area. Delicious! Excellent garlic knots too! Highly recommend.

None of the workers were wearing masks when we pulled in. The front desk workers only put theirs on when they saw me but still wearing them incorrectly. Since we already paid $70 for our meal we hesitantly took our food home to find that part of our order was missing.the owner refused to refund us saying it was too complicated. If they used safe covid procedures we would have no problem taking store credit but we definitely will not be back. Sucks to be turned off from supporting a small business during these hard times read more

The young girl who handled my food and rang me up was not wearing a mask. Neither was anyone behind the counter.

DELICIOUS! Fantastic customer service. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this establishment. Myself and children are vegan and they have an extensive selection of vegan products for us! Hands down the BEST vegan pizza I have ever eaten in my life. (And i've been to a LOT of places!!) My husband is not vegan and says the regular pizza and items are fantastic, as well. 10/10. Seriously, try for yourself. read more

Every single item I have eaten at this restaurant is delicious! The French fries are a must! Great pizza place to visit!

Pat's is the best. Beats out any other Pizza in the area. Heroes are good also. When I moved here I tried other places but once I started going to Pat's I don't bother going anywhere else read more

There was my child favourite solo tu there and that isn't a reason but it kind of is because the store and the pizza just feels like a rip off read more

Ordered a Philly cheesesteak that when it came to my house it was covered in vodka sauce who puts vodka sauce on a cheesesteak. Why would you put that as an option on DoorDash like who would honestly want that on their sandwich everything from there is usually good and I love their cheesesteaks but this has out a bad taste in my mouth literally read more

Pat Ds is our new favorite local spot!! Ordered multiple times here with no dissapointments in food or service!! Our favorite pie is pictured here: eggplant with ricotta grandma pie yum! They also have great vegan options for our vegan family member! This is the vegan buffalo chicken with cauli crust! Even the non vegans loved it! I highly reccommend Pat Ds as your go to pizza spot! read more

Not a single person to be seen wearing a mask when we pulled up. Upon entering the store two of the women behind the counter pulled their masks up to cover their chin only. It's been 8 months, no excuse to not wear it properly. Food is outrageously expensive and with these ignorant workers not following guidelines this is our first and last time there. Plenty of other businesses to support of which are abiding by the guidelines and not being selfish to put their paying customers at risk. 0/10 would not recommend. read more

So many reviews about the workers not wearing masks. I personally haven't seen this myself. However, the pizza is so good! The Sicilian is my favorite. The pieces of tomato in the sauce really take it over the top. read more

just ordered for the family function pasta was the bomb absolutely tremendous. the pizza was spectacular crust was 10/10. wings tasted like Ramsey himself made them. never going anywhere else for pizza and wings. would absolutely recommend to anyone read more

This place has great pizza, NY style I'd say. I'm 30 years in Howell and this newer place might be the best around. Behind the glass, they have some good-looking sandwiches I've got to try too. And I guess they got the hint on masks because everyone had theirs on. read more

Best PIZZA , SERVICE AND FRIENDLY STAFF!!! Brooklyn born and raised customers have now made Pat D's the spot to be!!!

From their pizza, to their chicken rolls, to their pastas and soup. There's nothing close to this for miles. We are from Brooklyn and find it very difficult to find any place around here to even come close to what we are used to Pat D's meets our demands and even surpasses them. A definite recommendation. read more

Delicious!! Their vegan selection is absolutely AMAZING. Fantastic costumer service, as well. Couldn't ask for a better experience.
