This was some of the worst pizza I've had in a while. They have 2 categories of pizza- gourmet and specialty. I figured I'd try 1 of each and got 2 medium pies. It's the same pizza, and they are both not good. The crust was chewy, limp, and tasted like nothing. The bbq chicken was also flavorless. The only good thing was that each slice had a good amount of toppings- but that didn't help the flavorless sauce, crust and cheese. Just a no for me. read more

Great pizza! We love their pizza and look forward to trying their other dishes. They are always so nice when we're picking up a quick dinner. read more

This food was catered to us and I can only comment on the food. My thoughts on what I tasted are below. Mixed Salad - This was just a regular salad with creamy Italian and oil & vinegar dressing provided. There were no complaints here. Garlic Bread - I believe there was more seasoning on this other than garlic. It was okay. It seemed to be better as it aged. Rigatoni Vodka - This was very plain. The pasta was cooked appropriately, but the sauce lacked lots of flavor. It did not really taste like a vodka sauce to me. Chicken Parmesan - The chicken was cooked too much, but the sauce was very tasty. It was not too chunky or liquidly. Chocolate Pizza? - This was a pizza contained a chocolate "sauce" with banana and strawberry toppings. It was extremely heavy and delicate, but was extremely appetizing. Will I go back? I did not attend, but I might. read more

Roberto's Pizza Restaurant - 'Chocolate' Pizza - Pizza Near Me - North Brunswick Township, New Jersey

Bad, late, wrong. Sicilian pie was dry and cold with very little cheese. Toppings were wrong. Specified meatball and sausage on one half only. Came with one on one half, one on the other. Garlic knots were also dry (no oil) and burnt. Rice balls were bland and over cooked. Ordered from Grub Hub. Website estimated 20-30 minutes. Took 50. Never updated to "on the way". Looking at other reviews from Grub Hub, it seems that they don't want to be bothered with online orders. In general I don't think they want to be bothered with anything. read more

I stopped here tonight to grab a pizza and garlic knots. Pizza was good, the knots were delicious. Crispy and garlicky. All that for $17 great deal. The owner was very polite and even threw in free zeppoles. We'll be back to try the dinners. read more

Roberto's Pizza Restaurant - Pizza Near Me - North Brunswick Township, New Jersey

There's nothing better than a family owned restaurant. It is obvious the staff here have a passion for what they do. They are very welcoming and accommodating. The owner, Roberto, always takes the time to greet any customer that approaches the counter (even when he extremely busy making pizzas). They have waitresses many nights of the week as well as delivery staff that go above and beyond to meet the needs of their customers. Ohhh and the food.... The pizzas are OUT OF THIS WORLD. They have gourmet pizzas with unique toppings that I love (always try a new one every time I go). I posted a picture of the menu so all can see! Another thing I love are the grilled chicken salads and the gourmet focaccia sandwiches, specifically the Robertos sandwich! Oh and for dessert get the zeppoles- they are doughy and delicious just like on the boardwalk. read more

TAKE OUT ONLY. DO NOT DINE IN... I ate there on a Sunday night in December. There were 4 tables with people and there was one waitress. We ordered a large plain pie, a spaghetti with meatballs, and a kids spaghetti with meatballs, along with a cold antipasto. They had no fountain drinks that day, so we had to get them from the refrigerators, but I ordered water with lemon. The antipasto came out with the bread about 15 mins after we ordered, but I didn't get my water with lemon until well after we finished eating it. The antipasto was really good, and it was a pretty good size for the price The waitress mentioned that she was new there. She was really nice the whole time. I cannot say enough to complement this waitress. She was amazing under the pressure of the situation. I felt bad for her because the kitchen was incompetent and made life difficult for both her and the customers. A large table who arrived around the same time as we did ordered two plain pies and they got them about an hour and 15 mins after they ordered. Our pizza followed. While these three pizzas were "being made," at least 15 different take out customers were served, some with more than one pie. We had to ask the waitress why the food was taking so long and she repeatedly apologized and told us that it should be out soon but has no control over it. At one point, I asked the guys making the pizzas in the front and they rudely told me that I should be asking the waitress and not him. Finally, the pasta came out and then the pizza. First of all, it shouldn't be hard for a pizza place to make pizza. Second of all, pasta takes longer to make than pizza, and it STILL made it out before the pizza. The pizza was good at best after all the time we waited. Not anything to write home about. My brother said the pasta was really good. I will never be returning here, at least not dine in. The waitress felt badly and gave my family and the family at the other table complimentary zeppoles at the end as an apology. They were awesome btw. I haven't had better zeppoles before. Again, I give the waitress a lot of credit because she was great under pressure. read more

This is our favorite neighborhood Pizza place. Great pizza and Italian food. My favorite takeout dinner is chicken francese over pasta with a garden salad and bread included. Large portions and the owner sometimes gives us free zeppoles. read more

Great place. Great food. Always have a great dining experience with Roberto's. Highly recommend them. Thank you.

Sadly this place has really gone downhill. Last year I was wishing I could give six stars because the food was... WAS absolutely phenomenal... all their food was. Then the service became really poor (see the review immediately prior to this one). Well, today it was the actual food that was just terrible. Really unacceptably bad. We ordered a large pie and garlic knots to pick up. We are literally two minutes from the place and when we got back somehow the pizza was both burned and cold. And it had no flavor. It was not crisp and the cheese is not what they used to use. I tried reheating a slice which helped with it being cold, but the flavor was just not there. While garlic knots can't make or break a meal, these were just the worst. There was no taste of garlic, but that's not the worst part. They were literally RAW on the inside. Actual raw dough. Just totally unacceptable. The same main pizza guy was there as always, so WHAT HAPPENED???? Seriously, what has happened to this place? No more. We will be travelling south to Margarita from now on, but really any even mediocre pizza place gives better food than what we got tonight. Just really sad. I would sooner go to a chain than back here again. The marinara sauce was still good, so I'll give two stars, but not going there again. It's just gone off the rails. read more

They have absolutely delicious food and I would love to rate them a 5. But, I've had multiple negative experiences there with staff. Once I ordered online, showed up 10 minutes after the time it said it would be ready, and it hadn't even gone in the oven. They weren't busy and basically told me I should never have ordered online (how was I supposed to know?). Just tonight, I went in and tried to grab a slice of pizza and was turned away for $10 minimum credit card on purchases. They were about to close and probably going to throw the old slices out anyways. Most people probably walk in throughout the day and order 2 slices and a soda (~$6), in this day and age, how do you have a credit card minimum? Probably going to start going somewhere else, a disappointment. read more

Horrible experience will never go back. Fountain soda tasted like chlorine and the owners kids run all over the restaurant. The kids repeatedly came up to our table stopping my son from eating by scratching his head. This happened about 20 times during our 15 min stay. The father said something to the child once and paid bo mind to him constantly coming up to our table. I asked kindly to please allow my son to eat because I have enough trouble getting him to eat his meal. Owner paid no mind to me or his son running up and touching our plates while we ate. Threw my sons food out and left I do not recommend this place by any means. read more

Absolutely amazing pizza and the staff was so nice with whatever questions we had while ordering. We live in another state and whenever we are in town we will be stopping by for pizza and dinner! read more

I was craving a plain pizza and decided to give this place a try. I have yet to find a decent pizza place. The pizza was just ok, nothing special. We also ordered the pasta with meatballs, calamari, and kids chicken fingers and fries. The chicken fingers and fries were really good. By the time we had the calamari, it was soggy so I don't want to give it an honest review. The pasta and meatballs have no flavor. We were given 2 huge meatballs and the pasta tasted like it had tomato paste thrown on top. Nothing special to this and would definitely not get it again. Overall, I would say this place is so-so. I'd give it a month or 2 before trying as new places usually aren't great at first. read more

I will never return again. I went with my family and ordered a large plain pie, a baked ziti, and a half portion of penne with meatballs, and the pasta dishes came out in about 30-40 mins, but we waited over an hour and a half for the plain pie. While we were waiting, we watched a ton of take out and delivery orders go out the door. The pizza was decent and they did give us free zeppoles for the wait when we finished dinner, but that is not enough to make us go back again. A plain pie is the simplest thing a pizza place sells, and it should never take that long to get one. read more

Great quality pizza they use high quality cheese and are very hospitable highly recommend read more

I came into this restaurant and decided to place an order online since I had no cash or a card on me. One of the workers asked me to place an order or to leave. I told him that I had placed an order online, he proceeds by telling me to cancel my order. Very disrespectful staff read more

Best Grandma pie in town. Went to bowl at Bowlero 2 months ago with 5 kids 4 adults and due to the 1hr wait we walked to Roberto's and grabbed a couple of pies. Can't rate anything but the pizzas. Great pizza, but that Grandma Pie is outrageously good. No issues with service at all. They gave our kids free zapolis that were warm and good. Since then I've been grabbing 2 grandma pies a month. 5/5 for that pie. read more

Online ordering does not work. They will charge your credit card, and not work with you to process a refund. The owner hung up on me multiple times when I was trying to get my refund. I was appalled at how rude the owner was to myself and my son. I received an online order confirmation and they turned me away. Absolutely disappointed and will never eat here. read more

I think this is my favorite pizza place in the area. Delish! Grandma pizza is perfect! Also tried sausage....which had lots of chunks of sausage. Very good. Wish I found this, place sooner! read more

This is a newer pizza joint that just opened up near my grams. We ordered delivery while laying by her pool. Came in a timely manner. Pizza was good. No complaints. read more

By far one of the best margarita pies I've had in a really long time. Had it delivered and it took much shorter than the estimated amount. Very impressed. read more

I just received a delivery order from Roberto's. Everything was perfect: ordering, delivery, and, of course, the food!

I ordered a pizza and a soup on Grubhub with a 20-30 minute estimate. I live about a mile or two from there. Between 1 and 2 hours later I tried calling repeatedly and they weren't even picking up the phone. Terrible experience and unacceptable. I ended up getting a refund on the order and have crossed this restaurant off the list of places I'll frequent in the future. read more

really really excellent pizza you will not be dissatisfied. Also had a great soup it was the escarole and bean, it was amazing! And the rice balls are great just a little on the mushy side but the taste it is good, And they were all very very friendly and accommodating very pleasant thank you. read more

Food is super fresh. Service is phenomenal. And as a kind gesture, after I king up my order, the man at the front gave me a complimentary zeppoli, that wasn't only so nice that made me want to come back but it was the best Zeppoli I ever had read more

Ran over for a quick slice while bowling in the plaza. Great pizza, clean restaurant, good people.

Got a sub from there meat was good only thing is they overloaded on oil and vinegar you couldn't taste the meat and by time I got home which was 10 minutes away it was all soggy read more

ORDER WITH CAUTION. Y'all wouldn't even believe this story. I had to CALL THE POLICE at 11PM on 5/3/18 because some mysterious person was ringing my doorbell incessantly for nearly 15 minutes, calling my cellphone, and even banging on my bedroom window - all while we were sleeping. It was terrifying. So it turns out it was one of their employees, an older man that other people have described in their reviews. I don't know if he is the owner. We were awaken by the bell ringing and I was terrified and confused as to why someone was trying to get us to answer the door at that hour. We peeked through the shades and saw some crazy man holding a paper on our front steps and he kept calling my cell phone, ringing the doorbell, and even climbed over bushes to knock on our bedroom window. After he eventually gave up and walked away, we called the police because this was SO CREEPY. Turns out - it was all because we ordered food delivery from this place around 7:30PM, via the yelp app, and I paid through PayPal. Everything on my end was showing as paid and the amount was even deducted from my PayPal account. WELL the police found him as they were driving up and the cop walked up to our door with said paper. Long story short I proved I paid to the cop and this man also came up on my front steps when the officer was talking us to explain he was trying to "track down our payment". All of this chaos over $40!!! Well thank goodness we called the police because I am glad he was there to tell this psychopath that his transaction with me was DONE and he had to take it up with yelp or PayPal. He told him not to contact me any further. This guy was saying "we don't take orders through yelp" okay buddy then: 1) why did you show up here with a paper with my order info on it and 2) why would someone BRING US FOOD if we didn't pay for it!!??? We have been ordering food from this place for 6+ months via yelp with no issues. The scariest part is that this guy didn't even see how psychotic it was that he was harassing us by coming to our HOUSE, calling my phone non stop, and banging on our bedroom window. What a crazy crazy experience. The police officer had a talk with him about his behavior thank GOODNESS. You could be next. BE CAREFUL. Needless to say we will NEVER ORDER FROM THIS BUSINESS AGAIN. Stay far far away from this place. read more

Fantastic pizza! I especially enjoyed the Sicilian pie. Very nice staff, very clean place, prices are more than reasonable. We are lucky to have good pizza joints locally, and this one is near the top of my list. read more

Can't say enough good things about Robeto's. The food is outstanding and the guys behind the counter know their food and customers. Waitress is super efficient and friendly. She really cares about her customers and will make suggestions and help you decide what to eat. All in all, it's the only pizza I eat in the Brunswick area. read more

Wow, I went there because of all the great reviews. Well, either it was a very OFF night, or people just don't expect quality in Italian food any more, and have become used to very bad representations of it. So, based on the reviews and because we're dying to have a neighborhood "go-to" place, I went to Roberto's for lunch one day last week. The slice and salad were great. We then ordered a pizza one night for pick up, and that was ready the moment I walked through their doors, took it home, and it was fine. Tonight, we girls went to try the food at Roberto's. We ordered sodas first, and they were delivered flat. When we brought it to the server's attention, she simply shrugged and moved on. No replacements or alternatives were offered. The side salads were delivered to us 30 minutes after ordering. They were skimpy - certainly not the side salad I had received the day I stopped in for a slice. We then sat with no refills the entire time, and no plates cleared for over an hour. We watched many takeout orders leave, other pizzas being made and served, people coming and going, yet nothing for us. The people at the only other occupied table finished and left, and we were the only ones seated and waiting to dine the rest of the time. After one hour and fifteen minutes, we finally asked where our food was, and the owner barked, "We're busy here!" So, they were busy filling pizza and takeout orders for an hour and a half, and ignored the six of us at a table in their dining room. Each time we asked for something, they went and did something else. So, with almost an hour and a half in, they BEGAN making our food - one dish at a time. When we said that it had gotten late, and we would like to pay for our sodas and salads and simply leave, they insisted we stay and said that our food was all ready. OK, we sat back down. They brought out ONE dish (Caprese salad) and nothing else. Every five minutes they brought out another dish. Almost every one was wrong. The simplest item, a personal pizza, never got served at all, and one of our guests took it home in a box. She said this morning that it was "just ok, nothing special." To the owner's credit, he didn't charge us for this fiasco. The Caprese salad was average, and in the middle of ripe, luscious tomato season in New Jersey, the owner managed to find unripe tasteless tomatoes from who knows where to put with the mozzarella. My calamari marinara over penne arrived without the pasta, and served on a flat plate, total quantity about a cup. The calamari was small, a bit too chewy, bitter aftertaste, and the grated cheese was the worst quality I've ever had. Kraft perhaps? The cavatelli with broccoli rabe and sausage arrived, but it was linguine with steamed broccoli rabe on top, and no sausage. The guest who ordered that said it was wrong, flavorless and sent it back. The flounder francaise looked more breaded than francaise, but the guest said it was ok. However, her side of pasta came out 30 minutes before the entree it was supposed to accompany. The server was terrible, to be sure. Each time she came to the table with a dish, she said, "Who ordered this??" But the timing in the kitchen was not her fault, although the owner blamed it directly on her several times, referring to her with,"Sorry for the girl." No need to go back. read more

First time ordering Pizza from Roberto's. I ordered a med. plain. They told me 45 minutes to an hour which was fine. It is over 90 degrees out. Pizza was delivered almost cold. I called to ask to speak to manager, I was told he wasn't there. He asked me what was wrong and I told him Pizza was cold. He asked where I lived (6 minutes away) and said that's why Pizza wasn't hot, I was too far away. Really? 6 miles? Maybe they had a bunch of other deliveries, even though he said my pizza was the only one being delivered. Don't they have special carriers to keep things warm? I will NOT being ordering from here again. read more

Ordered several different pasta dishes, food was really bad. Delivery guy was rude also.

Tonight I would rate this place a 0 star if I could, but I have been here several other times and would give it about 3 stars. The reason being the wait, the food, and the overall service. First of all, the wait. Would you wait 2 and a half hours for some decent food. Neither would I. 11 people and I waited over 2 and a half hours for our food, which honestly wasn't even that good. People got here 2 HOURS AFTER US, AND THEY GOT THEIR FOOD BEFORE US! Also, 9 of the 12 total people actually had pizza which took about 2 hours to come out. I ordered plain pasta. PLAIN! No cheese, butter, sauce, nothing, and I waited 2.5 hours. Unacceptable. Second of all, the food. It was your typical Italian food and wasn't that good or bad. But I would not wait 2.5 hours for any food. Good or bad. Next the service. The person at the counter was ARGUING with the costumer. I'm pretty sure the saying goes the customer is always right, but correct me of I'm wrong. If you're going here with a large group of people, don't, and trust me if you do, you will regret it. I just don't understand how you can run a resteraunt this bad. Also, 3 stars is being very nice. Don't make the mistake and come here. read more

Talk about horrible service. This is strictly a take out place. We sat and waited for over an hour before any food came out and then all of our orders were wrong! We had to keep asking for refills and there were no apologies. We were finishing our meals before one person even got their personal size pizza -so they changed the order to go. A lot of changes needed here to survive. read more

I came here for a birthday party and we had 10 people, and they didn't let us in. They asked us to get out of the restaurant and to never come back. He was very rude. If possible, I would give him 0 stars. They didn't even put a couple of tables together. He said that the store was too full, and there were only like 10 people there. A couple kids took some peppermint's and they yelled at them. In general, I wouldn't recommend coming here. read more

While i was there one of the employees or owner (tall man with a goatee) put his hand down into his pants, scratched and then adjusted the drinks. Glad he wasn't the one who prepared the food but it could be your pizza he makes. Beware. read more

The food here is pretty good, some things can be a bit bland but I generally get pizza and am happy with it. My problem here is the staff. I called in a pizza later in the afternoon so I could pick it up on my way home from work. The guy on the phone told me 30 minutes which seems to basically be their minimum amount of time no matter how busy. Now where my problem arises is about 15 minutes later when I walk in (expecting to wait some amount of time) to two of the guys who work there sitting down eating, (which itself is fine) one other customer waiting on a couple slices, and the guy behind the counter seemingly offended I was there early. Probably because after I sat down to wait I got to watch my pizza just get started. I try to be a reasonable person but when you tell me 30 minutes when its absolutely dead and you have at least 4 people on staff just so you have 20 minutes to screw around, that's bad service. read more

Recently ordered online through Grubhub. After waiting an hour with no delivery I drove over and was told they didn't have my order. When I tried to explain the situation they cut me off and told me that it wasn't their problem and if I wanted my food I had to pay again(what really pissed me off was the attitude they had.) The food wasn't only for me so I reordered. After standing in the restaurant for another 25 minutes I left. Never even got an apology. I will definitely not be going back. read more
