Came here with my best friend and it was packed when we first arrived. we had to wait a bit for a table, which was expected with how busy it was. We ordered bone-in buffalo wings, chicken Alfredo gnocchi, garlic bread, and my bestie got a personal vodka pizza with sausage. The food honestly did not disappoint, everything was flavorful, hot, and worth the wait. That said, the service was definitely on the slower side. Our waitress was very nice and polite, but things took a while overall. Even after the place started to clear out halfway through our meal, the pace didn't really pick up. We also waited at least 15 minutes just to get the check, which was a bit frustrating. One thing that stood out (not in the best way) was seeing a staff member wiping crumbs and debris straight onto the floor while cleaning tables, which wasn't the most pleasant to watch while eating. Overall, the atmosphere was really nice and the food was great, but the slow service and a few cleanliness issues kept it from being a full 5 stars. I'd still come back... just maybe not when it's super busy. read more

I came across Pino Pizza Restaurant while looking for something quick to eat before an appointment. The decor is pretty standard for an Italian spot--nothing fancy, just a casual, no-frills environment. It was definitely busy when I went; the place was packed and the parking lot was full, which says a lot about its popularity. If you're hungry and need something fast, this is a solid option. The pizza itself was good and hit the spot, though it's not somewhere I'd necessarily go out of my way for. One thing that did bother me was the food handling. The same employee who took my payment also put my pizza in the oven, and I didn't see any gloves being used. Under normal circumstances I would have said something, but I was short on time and very hungry. Still, it's something that shouldn't be overlooked. Overall, it's a convenient place to grab a quick bite, and I might return if I'm in the area, but the hygiene practices could definitely be improved. read more

Pino's Pizza & Restaurant - Chicken Casear Salad Pizza and Pepperoni Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Woodbridge, New Jersey

Pinos has become my family's go to pizzeria over the years. The pizza is always consistently delicious, we also love to dine there and try the Italian entrees from the menu. It is one of my son's favorite restaurants. The staff is great and I usually see familiar faces when I go there which is nice to know they aren't turning over employees constantly. It has a familial vibe while still managing to be modern. My favorite meal is the sausage diavlo, it's basically sausage and peppers in red sauce with pasta. My favorite pizza is the Nonna pie, I like to add garlic and onions and it's such an indulgent treat. Im pretty sure they use the garlic from the garlic knots and it's absolutely mouthwatering. Another huge plus for my family is they have a considerable vegan menu. My brother's whole family is vegan and it can be challenging ordering out in the area. Pino's Makes hands-off entertaining easy and possible. read more

Nice place, good food, good service. Definitely recommend this for any occasion or none at all

Great place but pass couple of years I see this place going down in hospitality and service was there Friday ordered and waited no problem but when in waiting for food and saw my food going to another table then taken to back then 20 seconds later come to me that means not organized sorry my opinion then waitress never came back to see if I needed anything especially i needed a soda refill nothing I was done with service and ask someone else for my bill. Don't understand when there's so many employees but they are always talking to each other im not talking that away from them but take care of costumers number one priority that's how establiment succeed. read more

Got the plain pie to share. It was a solid pizza, simple. Got a chicken sandwich with mozzarella, roasted pepper and balsamic. I think they put it on a focaccia bread. The bread wasn't anything too special. The flavor was a little bland and the sandwich was a little dry. The Chicken Parmesan war decent. read more

Deliciousness - 4/5 Happiness - 4/5 What a good hidden gem this is. The pasta packs a delicious punch, the garlic bread is free and plentiful, and the BYOB helps everyone leave happy! Far and away, the best thing here was the pasta. The sauces are beautifully seasoned and very rich. The pasta is tasty and varied (i.e., lots of different types), and the toppings are generous (my pasta Giuseppe came with plenty of well seasoned chicken and large, flavorful mushrooms). The Chicken Savoy had some beautiful vinegar flavor and ended up being enough for leftovers twice. The rest of the experience wasn't as memorable. We ordered a mozzarella appetizer and was surprised it was not fresh mozzarella. I don't mind thin sliced rolls of mozz, but definitely would have ordered something different if I'd known it wasn't fresh. I did quite enjoy it with the sun dried tomatoes. We also ordered some fried ravioli and in truth, nobody enjoyed it. I don't think it was fried long enough so that the cheese inside was still too firm and overpowering. My son got pizza that he loved, but I thought it was just OK (the crust was a little to soggy for my liking). The service was friendly, engaging, and attentive. I really enjoyed my visit to Pino's. read more

Food is amazing, but the employees are funny.. I ordered a chicken ceaser salad minus bread crumbs, olives and onions.. I picked up romaine lettuce with croutons only, when I called they delivered the correct food so I ordered again... today I asked that the delivery driver call my phone when he came because I was outside.. after an hour I called and they said the delivery driver tried to call me and so did Pinos but I have no missed calls and my cameras show the delivery driver just ringing the bell. They left my food outside by the time I found it, it was cold.. So even though the food is good, the employees are a lil too funny for me. I get not having to do no favors but there's also just being lazy and not caring and that's what this staff gives off! On top of bad service I asked for no olives or onions and they insisted last time olives weren't standard, but today they added them and the onions despite me specifically stating I didn't want them.. over all this is the last time I order from them. Goodbye Pinos!! read more

DoorDash Pizza Diaries Stop: Pino's Pizzeria & Restaurant Rating: Solid Stop As a DoorDasher who's logged miles all over New Jersey, I've turned deliveries into a side mission: hit the mom-and-pop pizza joints, grab a slice, and give an honest take. Rule of the road: If I deliver it, then I've gotta try it first. Pulled up to Pino's Pizzeria & Restaurant on a dash and went straight for the plain slice--the truth serum of Jersey pizza. The Breakdown * Crust: Thin, nicely cooked, and foldable without falling apart. Passed the sidewalk test. * Sauce: Balanced and flavorful--present, but not overpowering. * Cheese: Even melt, well portioned, no grease slick, no cheese avalanche. * Slice Integrity: Clean bite from tip to crust. No napkin emergencies. Service Check (because it matters): TBH, the service was great--Taylor was on point. Friendly, efficient, and made the stop smooth, which is always appreciated when you're bouncing between deliveries. The Verdict Pino's is exactly what you want from a neighborhood pizza spot: solid, reliable, and respectful of the basics. Add good service into the mix, and it's an easy place to recommend. After delivering (and tasting) my way across Jersey, Pino's earns a Solid Stop in the DoorDash Pizza Diaries. Delivered it Tried it Approved it Next dash, next town, next slice. read more

Once again, another great night at Pino's for dinner. Walked in to a busy & packed dinning room. Can't complain about the crowd, it's the place everyone wants to be. The service was excellent, as always. Greeted immediately, sat as soon as the next table was available & cleaned. Our servers, Mercedes & Scott were attentive and so nice! Checking in on us constantly and the food didn't take long to come out. We tried something new & were not disappointed. I got a Caesar chicken wrap, but requested chicken fingers in the wrap - amazing!! Spaghetti & meatballs were so tasty. 10/10 read more

I had the salmon asparagus didn't want the rice so I had vegetables. Sauteed is up charge of $3. The salmon came in some kind of balsamic sauce and they overcooked it very dry and it really loaded up on the sauce. Sauce is very sweet. Not what I was expecting. Fortunately my review is what it is read more

First time visit. Welcoming interior. Nicely decorated. BYOB. Drink order taken and served immediately. We were puzzled to find that the extensive dine-in menu included personal pizzas but not full-size pizzas. We had to ask for a take-out menu to see a list of all available pizzas. Staff was polite, however numerous. Five servers and duplicated effort at our one table was a bit much. Received warm garlic bread with our meal. Salad was served on a tiny plate which was unstable because only a small circle at the bottom of the plate made contact with the table. Food was okay. Veal dinner served with a butter knife; had to ask for a sharp knife. Ordered a dessert on the daily specials menu and was told that the dessert was seasonal only and they didn't have it anymore? Enjoyed decaf cappuccino, however had to ask for sugar. Received a check with prices slightly higher than the prices shown on the menu. read more

I was in the area, wanted some quick pizza and gave Pino's a try. The place was rocking. There was a wait to sit. The place had a great atmosphere. I just tried some slices to go. The service was friendly and quick. The slices were excellent and prices were reasonable. I was disappointed that there were no plastic free options for me to get a drink to go but they did have fountain drinks for if you dine in. read more

Was a regular at Pinos for years. The last two orders were incorrect but last nights was the worst. We ordered a thin crust plain pizza like we have done many times in the past. The pizza we got was a thick crust pizza with the works. We immediately called and we were told whoever took our order must have hit the wrong button. That was it. There was no offer to replace it. We paid $25 for a pizza we couldn't even eat. Check your order before you pay! Too late for us, we are done with Pinos! read more

Great pizza and excellent meat sauce on the pasta. Been going for years. Nice atmosphere. Good selection of salads and hot subs.

Wonderful restaurant with delicious entrees, sandwiches and pizza. Even their desserts are amazing. Staff service always pleasant and friendly. Knowing this place has been around 30 years proves it's food is made with love. It's great to know hard-working owner-operated businesses. Keep going strong for another 30!!! read more

I hate to post reviews. It just that pino's was my favorite Pizza/hot subs restaurant. I live in islien which is part of Woodbridge. I been coming to pino's since 2005. I noticed that since the move a couple of years ago service is lacking. Yesterday I ordered chicken parmigiana in a plate with bread on the side and a medium pizza. The chicken was thick very little mozzarella and dry as heck. No Bread was in the bag. But the taste was good. The pizza was a blob thick and cold. I was told 30 minutes I got there in 20minutes it was ready and waiting but cold. When I got home. How do they estimate the time. No one there 13 minutes a customer should be told not 30 minutes. So it is hot. It was ready in 13 minutes and I was told it would be 30 minutes. I know how long a welldone pie takes to bake. A year ago I was told I would get credit I never got the credit. Good work. read more

I wanted to wait for a couple more visits before updating my review. The last few times I ordered from here, I received pizza that could have been better. Pizza was undercooked and floppy. read more

I don't know how this place isn't 4+ stars. We wanted cheesesteaks as we were passing through, I got regular (with substitutions) and my partner got chicken, we both couldn't not have been happier. We also threw in a slice of pizza just bc when in Rome, and my partner was thoroughly upset we only got one slice to try. I love a crust that looks burnt but doesnt taste it, perfect crispy goodness. Excellent food, it's very much a sub & pizza shop, just as described. Lives up to its description perfectly in my opinion. We did delivery, super fairly priced to deliver, and came in a super timely fashion. I really have no complaints, only compliments. read more

Great food and prices..My issue is with the service. Went three weeks in a row before our local outdoor concert series. Same issue each time. Sit down and order food on initial interaction with the waitress. Nearly 10 minutes till drinks arrive then nothing for 20 minutes. No bread, salad, appetizer nothing. Then everything comes within a 5 minute time span and the booth is full of food and you are stuffed trying to get everything down. No excuse not to have drinks and at least bread or salad at the table within 5 minutes Appetizers should never come out with the meal. read more

This is good pizzeria to say the least. Pleeeeenty of options and everything I've had from the sandwiches to wraps to pizza and salads have been a home run. Pretty nice inside and the bathroom was very clean which says a lot imo. Staff is friendly and courteous for the most part. They stay busy but fortunately that doesn't impact the turn around time on getting your food. Def worth checking out and can't wait to return again read more

Food and services were great can't wait to come back. Wings were the best I've ever had

The food was good. My wife has been coming here for decades, before they opened their new location. We spent over $200 here today to celebrate her birthday. Her 10 year-old neice brought a cake for us to eat. We had brought our own paper plates and plastic forks but a server offered us plates for the cake. When we got the bill they added a $9 "cake fee". They didn't help serve the cake, they didn't sing happy birthday. We wouldn't have used the plates if we were going to be charged $9. The reason I'm giving 1 star is because when we asked them to take this charge off the bill they never warned us about, they got attitude. The girl said she couldn't, she would have to get a manager. When we asked for the manager, she said she was the manager. Most people in my family have worked in food service for years. We understand things cost more than they used to. But this was absolutely pathetic. Robbery. Never coming back here again. Ever. Idiotic and rude customer service. Great pizza is a dime a dozen in NJ. We can drive another 3 minutes and not get disrespected, hustled and robbed. It may "only be $9" but it's the principle. read more

Have gotten our orders wrong at least a half dozen or so times and food has been mediocre at best lately! Not worth going back!

Awful. Delivered pizza was so cold we had to reheat it. "House Salad" contained nothing but lettuce. "Customer Service" when we called hung up on us. What a mistake to order from this place. Never again. read more

Food was not good at all Pizza was cold and stale. Looked like a few days old Shrimp scampi's leaked everywhere and I asked for extra garlic and it was still unflavored Disappointed!!! I also did not receive any utensils as I indicated I was poolside. Nor did you send the salad dressing on the side. The Uber driver indicated that you did not seal the lid of the scampi thus it spilled all over her car. It really wasn't good food nor presentation. No worries. I won't order from here again. . read more

My first time ordering from Pino's. I randomly try different pizza spots and came across them. I just had plain pizza and the fried calamari. I really liked the pizza. It had the right amount t if sauce and cheese. The calamari was good as well but would have been better if it was delivered. It's one of those things you have to eat right after prepared. Nonetheless, good experience and I'll be ordering from Pino's for sure in the future. read more

My family and I have gotten food delivered multiple times from this place and never had an issue. Tonight I was told by the employee, who picked up the phone that Pino's does not deliver to Iselin. After I explained that they have delivered to us previously, the employee had me hold on to see if the driver was willing to travel to us (keep in mind that I live 6 minutes away). After being put on hold the employee explained that the driver did not feel like driving to us and told us it's best that we try them during the week around 2pm. Our family is good to spend minimum $150+ every time we either dine in or have food delivered to us. The poor service and response tonight has left us with a bad taste in our mouths and the guests we are hosting at our place. We do not plan on doing anymore business here. read more
