Absolutely the worst food and customer service ever. Some of our food was delivered upside down, there was dressing and hot sauce everywhere. The wings and mozzarella sticks were severely undercooked, the breading was mushy, and both tasted like they were cooked or reheated in a microwave. The penne vodka tasted more like penne in tomato soup, the mushroom pasta house specialty was very dry and tasted like it was just canned mushrooms tossed with some pasta. I called them and asked to speak to a manager or owner regarding my order, the woman who answered asked what was wrong, so I started telling her...she was incredibly rude and dismissive, and asked "well what you do you want?!?" I was shocked by how she was talking to me, so I just asked for a refund...she said something about refunding two items, I said I wanted a full refund...she mumbled something and hung up, so I had to CALL BACK because there was no actual resolution. After the second call I did receive a full refund but that is NO way to do business. If she wasn't so rude and nasty, I would have been ok with a partial refund and would have just never ordered from them again. Instead, here I am....writing a horrible review online....this a first for me. The food, the service...all of it....trash. Go anywhere but here. read more

Salerno's plain slice isn't my favorite but their specialty pies and pasta dinners really make up for it. I love their vodka sauce. Staff is awesome too, the young guy behind the counter remembers my name and the blonde lady is super friendly. I've never had to wait longer than expected when I call ahead. read more

Salerno's sauce is so good!.. we keep trying all different kinds of their slices to figure out which kind we like best.. some we love are the chicken bacon ranch.. spinach., and Sicilian.. we did also try the rice balls which also are pretty good and would get again when they have them read more

Ordered pizza delivery from here every week for a month with no issues. Pizza wasn't the best I've ever had but was tasty. Call for my usual delivery order tonight only to be told they don't deliver that far, even though they've done so on four previous occasions. When I mentioned they've delivered several times before and even had my number saved with my address in their system, the woman on the phone said it was a mistake previously ...great service. read more

We always order a Vodka pie through the slice app and request chicken cutlet for the extra topping. There is no option to add it so it always goes in the special request section. For some reason today the heavy set guy behind the counter went on a rant about the special request and why we keep doing that and how he would deny it next time and how he knows that there is an option to add chicken. He was flat out nasty to my son for no reason tonight! The other guy behind the counter chalked it up to this guy having a long day. He did not apologize or acknowledge anything. When I came in he came over to the table and tried to be nice and he did bring the pie over 15 min after the slice app said that it was ready! THERE IS NO OPTION TO ADD ANYTHING ON THE VODKA PIE EXCEPT RICOTTA! We travel from a neighboring town just to patronize your restaurant because we enjoy the pizza. We will never patronize your establishment again. When you are in the customer service industry in any capacity kindness goes a long way. In addition, I too had a long day and I would never dream of speaking to someone in that manner. read more

BEST WINGS EVER! I dream about these wings...they are ubber juicy and delightful. The wing sauce is on the side, which threw me off the first time i had them. But it's perfect. I actually don't douse them in the sauce (because the sauce is so great a little goes a long way). Eh, the pizza is more of the side dish. I'd give a 3. Needs more "pow." I always come here when I come back home because of the wings. read more

If I could give this place one star I would. They are so incredibly unprofessional. They mess up orders nonstop. When we called to tell them the owner literally cursed me out which I will try to post since it's recorded not Be to shut the fuck up and when I said I was going to social media told me I was on drugs All because I was trying to tell him to calm down that I had children to feed and That I wasn't coming back I just thought they should be aware that they screw up orders. But that warranted him cursing me out and saying I was on drugs. literal lunatics read more

Finally made it out.... and in my quest to find a pizza place that will satify this pescatarian foodies craving for buffallo shrimp pizza continues.:( Sadly was told they could not make a grilled shrimp buffalo pizza because it would be too expensive. $40. So we ordered a few slices. I had a thin sicilian and a spinach and artichoke slice. Sicilian was very tasty. The spinach was little greasy but good. Neither satisfied my craving though. Husband had bbq chicken slice. He said it was good. Tasted like the lays bbq chips. 3 slices and a diet coke was $12 and change. Leaving a little bummed but ehhh my search continues.... read more

Our favorite pizza place! Delicious fresh food always. Lou the owner is there making sure everything is done right. Not just pizza fabulous dinners. One of our favorites is the chicken Francese, bbq chicken pizza and the Grandma pie. They make the best stuffed breads! Salerno's also caters a great party. This is our neighborhood Gem. read more

Salerno's Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Hazlet, New Jersey

Love the pizza and panini's.. Everything is actually great! They are really busy on weekends, which is understandable, so make sure to order early. Definitely the best in the area! read more

Rounding up to 2 stars because it's covid and the day after Christmas. I went to Salerno's to buy 2 balls of pizza dough for a fun activity for kids. The young man behind the register stared at me blankly and the older man abruptly told me "we don't sell pizza dough on Friday's or Saturday's". I've never heard of that before but sure. I left and went somewhere else and they gladly were able to spare two balls of pizza dough. They made $9 off something that probably cost them $2. The kids will be thrilled and the place was grateful for business. Win win. I won't be back to Salerno's. read more

Absolutely love this place. Every time my boyfriend and I go near Hazlet we make sure we stop here. This is one of the best, if not the best, pizza we have ever had! We wish you guys would open a location in Woodbridge!!! Please do lol read more

first time the pizza came really good. Every other time it was burnt. customer service is also terrible even on the phone. don't recommend this place. go down the street to villa.. read more

This review is for the pizza only! Not a fan of the food at all. I gave three stars because I give it a two and my family a four. If you are a NYC transplant as I am, then I don't think you will enjoy it. However hubby and family are all from NJ and they just think this pizza is the cat's meow as they say. To me the regular slices are tasteless and the square a wannabe of L & B. Please check your pie before you leave the premises as we have had burnt pies given to us and had to go back for a fresh one. However, they don't seem to be lacking in business because it is always packed and many times in the summer there is a two hour wait for food pickup/delivery. read more

i love salernos! i'm a very consistent customer who orders their margarita pizza and a family special with baked ziti. my whole family loves it. they're very generous with the cheese and the sauce, and it really gives you a good feel for NJ and NYC pizza. they have a super thin NYC style crust, which i really like. they've been around for forever and i love supporting them. the manager and staff are super friendly! yes, the sauce is on the sweeter side. if you're not fan of that, then you might want to try their white slices, pasta, or salads instead. but honestly its not extremely sweet and i really like it personally. read more

I have been a loyal customer of Solerno's since they first opened. Not sure who I spoke to on the phone when I ordered today but he was so rude that he is lucky all he is getting is a bad yelp review if you know what I mean. Anyway I have bought my last pizza from them. Plenty of other pizza places around. Don't go here. read more

I think this place needs consistency with the pizzia, sometimes it's crust is burnt, sometimes it's crunchy, sometimes it's soggy. They've had enough chances, don't really care for their pizzia. read more

The best pizza ever. This place is a hike for me but so worth it. Anything I order is amazing. The Buffalo rolls are tasty and easy to pick up for quick lunch. My fave pie is their margarita pizza pie always crispy. My friends have also tried their calamari pizza which they highly recommend if you've had it. This place with have a 2 hour wait for pizza some nights so call early!!! read more

Been going here for a few months now. They have some of the best specialty slices around. BBQ chicken slice is one of a kind! My absolute favorite BBQ chicken slice. Buffalo chicken and BCR slices are also very unique and top notch. read more

Vodka pizza, grandma slice, MVP slice, chicken parm slice ... no words. all stellar choices. also if you like buffalo pizza order a personal sized bufflo chicken pie, i find the ratio much better than their giant slices of the buffalo chicken pizza. And if you like macaroni salad please get it here. One of the best mac salads I've ever had. This is the go to pizza spot if you're in the area read more

Salerno's has the best slice in NJ, hands down! Whether it's the sweet sauce of the Margherita slice or the boldness of the Buffalo chicken you won't go wrong at Salerno's! I've missed this place every day since leaving NJ! If you're really feeling froggy, go ahead and leap into a buffalo chicken roll! read more

Pizza is good but the service is horrible! They are not attentive! they are out of everything. They forget some of your order. Not worth it- a lot of good pizza places around Hazlet. Choose a different pizzeria and save the aggravation. read more

Awesome pizza! I'm always skeptical when I try pizza outside of NYC, I'm an elitist... so sue me. So when I moved to NJ, I was afraid.... afraid of never having good pizza again. But this place is great! Conveniently located next to my job, the staff are great and friendly and theres really good parking. The pizza is delicious! Tried a few different slices and I haven't found one I dont like yet. They take cash and card and there's okay seating inside, a lot of other people work nearby too so it can get busy at times. Overall great spot! read more

Ran to their pizza spot because it was closest to SJV. Nice set-up. Quite a few pizza varieties. Prices were set at a reasonable price. Actually lower than I anticipated paying. I'm giving this place 3 stars due to the lack of customer service. There was a guy who seemed as if he didn't want to wait on us and then a girl who was kinda just there moving slow didn't seem happy she had to work that day. A little bit of CS could take the rating up a bit. Overall pizza was ok and sausage roll was pretty good as well, thick with lots of sausage, peppers and onions. I will say the sauce that came with the sausage roll was amazing. read more

My wife and I got lunch here today . Fresh and hot food all time we come by . Owner is a great guy and staff is amazing Highly recommended read more

I live in Holmdel NJ and absolutely love coming to Salernos. It is hands down the best pizza in the area around Rt.35 and it is actually the best pizza I've ever had. I usually get the buffalo chicken but Margarita is also a good choice. The place is nice and has some nice seating area and the guys working are also polite. Salernos is my go to pizza place in the area any day. PROS: Pizza is fresh brick oven baked and has super crispy crust CONS: $4.00 for one buffalo chicken is kind of steep... but it's so worth it after a long day of work read more

Have been coming here regularly (2x per month or more) for over 5 years, this place is the BEST pizza around. Whether you are ordering pies or just grabbing slices, this is the place to come. Hands down the best margarita pizza I have ever tried (and I have tried a bunch) and best pizzas overall. Other great slices I have tried are the buffalo, bbq, vodka, pesto, and plain. If you are looking to order entrees, they will not disappoint. Great portions and fresh ingredients as well. They do get busy at peak times but it is worth the wait. I'm happy to support this business! read more

Solid pizza! Love their vodka pizza. One of my favorite pizza places. I recently went and had a deep dish buffalo chicken slice and it awesome! I think about it often. I have yet to try their pastas dishes but I am sure they will not disappoint. I had to give them an extra star because we have become regulars. The food is great and the owner is friendly and always ready to please. read more

if i can give this place a 0 star i would..this was my first time here...the pizza was so over cooked the crust was hard couldn't even eat it..i called and complained today and the plain pie looked sad looking.... i called and spoke to the so called manager i asked him whats his name he said he didn't have a name acting like a child on the phone...this place is poor customer service the pies were gross even for a first time customer.... my opinion stay away from this place... read more

I had a chicken panini with fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers and balsami glaze with French fries. It was $7.95 plus 0.50 extra for the fries. It was good, but I felt they pounded the chicken out too thin. Very clean place! read more

Been here a few times for take out during lunch. They have decent specialty pizza and pre prepared sandwiches/rolls you can get on the go. It's a small pizzeria with about 10 tables. Prices are reasonable. read more

Very good. quality ingredients. Dough needs some work but overall very good pie. Had the white pie with spinach and garlic. Also had the buffalo chicken pie, pieces of chicken big and juicy sauce perfect level of hot. Tried the bacon pie, very salty. This is def my new pizza place. read more

I've had my doubts ordering anything outside of pizza from a pizza restaurant. BUT! I'm glad I did order outside the box! The eggplant parm, which happens to be one of my favs, is great. Not to mention that they give you so much that you can eat from it twice or share it. I also order the chicken pesto salad with house dressing. The house dressing it to die for! Next time I'll order it in a cup and drink it with a straw read more

Fantastic pizza at a good price. They toss their own dough and make their own sauce. The ingredients for the salads are super fresh. Once you get past the army of teenage girls manning the cash register you are in for a treat. read more

Salerno's Pizzeria - Inside - Pizza Near Me - Hazlet, New Jersey

Salernos has knocked it all the way out of the part again. Two weeks ago I ordered from Salernos for the first time and had a personal sausage, mushroom and onion pizza the best ever. Last night I ordered the same pizza but with a California Cheesesteak OMG OMG !!!!! Best cheesesteak I ever had the bread my goodness it was like fresh Italian bread right from Italy this sub was packed with real steak not steakums lol. I ate two slices and half of the cheesesteak last night had the other half for lunch today it was still so good, tonight the rest of the Pizza. Salernos you are my Italian spot, I am going to take my time and go through the entire menu so I can keep singing your praise you guys are the absolute best. read more

You can always count on Salerno's for a great selection of fresh pizza and Italian food. We are huge fans of the white pizza with fresh ricotta - that is a great, simple pie. Also, the honey mustard chicken pie - a thick pan pie - is a unique creation, one that I have never seen anywhere else. One time that I was recently there, I counted that they had 12 different varieties of pies out. During their prime hours, that is quite a selection. When we're in the mood to have entrees delivered, the chicken francaise (served with choice of pasta) is always on point. The store is a really inviting environment - this is not your typical local pizzeria. Salerno's is definitely my favorite local shop serving the Holmdel and Hazlet areas. Luca really does a great job with his staff. read more

great pizza and close to where i live. I really like their grandma's pie. The regular pies are good. They also have good salads. I like the pear salad. I wish they had more seating. But this is a great place for takeout and delivery. Altho it always tastes better when you eat it there. I have ordered their pasta dishes too which are great. The owner is usually always there which I think is important. read more

Stopped here for lunch this week and the food here is good. I didn't try the regular slices but their buffalo chicken slice is huge. They also have Garlic Knot Chicken or Eggplant Sandwiches which I've never seen before so I tried the Chicken one. Very good and a great combo. They are located in a small strip mall with a few other businesses. There is a small parking lot. They probably have just under a dozen tables for eating in. They deliver as well as I saw their delivery guyy come and go with I was there. read more
