Best chicken parm sandwich I've had in a long time I am not used to having chicken parm this good. Been disappointed many times by places that make parm that is dry, rubbery, and gray with greasy breading and scorched tomato sauce. I usually like my parm to be a little thick. I went two days ago with my wife and I had a chicken parm sandwich. The chicken was thin, but very fresh, perfectly cooked and delicious. The sauce was excellent, and the chicken was lightly breaded, slightly crisp, and not greasy at all. The bread was slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, like it was freshly baked, high quality Italian bread. There is nothing that could have made this sandwich any better than it already was, and now I am going to be comparing every other chicken parm sandwich I order to this one. Great job! read more

A GREAT place for pizza and other stuff too. I had a personal pizza today while I was out on an appointment. It was just perfect! I recommend them to Everyone! read more

working in town, went here for lunch first and last time, grossest pizza i ever had. should get a better recipe.

This place was rough. Let's get the positives out of the way: it was clean. With that said, slices that were ordered were cold. Didn't understand why what with a pizza oven there but they don't actually use that to heat the pizzas, they use a small tight oven behind the counter that we noticed was difficult to even get the pizzas out of. I've never seen this before. Very odd setup. The pizza was just terrible. Some of the worst I've had. Nearly frozen pizza level. The service was very poor. We even saw a guy who they forgot a whole pizza for. The teenagers seem like the privileged type that just get a job to be social and show their parents they're busy. Perhaps I'm wrong but they didn't seem interested to be there with their lifeless responses. read more

We were at the beach all day and just wanted a quick meal. Our waitress was very sweet and told us we could sit wherever we wanted to. We opted for a table outside as it wasn't too hot out. Looking over the menu I decided on a California style chicken hero. The waitress gladly told me that they could grill the chicken for me instead of pan searing it. I also added onions to it because who can eat a chicken sandwich without onions? LOL. My boyfriend orders the eggplant parmigiana with Angel hair pasta. Our waitress came out with some focaccia bread for us since he had ordered a dinner. I thought it was fine but he thought it was too doughy. Too each is own. My sandwich was tasty although it could have had a little more mayonnaise as it was a little dry. The eggplant parmigiana was very good. We will definitely stop back when at the beach for the day. read more

What the heck happened to this place? We moved from NJ to TX 8 years ago, and recently from TX to MD. Each trip "home" to NJ includes a trip to Spring Lake Pizza. Yesterday we ordered 2 pies to bring to our teenager in MD. We were so excited. My husband immediately grabbed a slice to eat as we drove. He made it through half of a slice and threw the rest in the trash. Flavorless cheese, a crust that tasted like flour - what happened to the semolina on the bottom? They used to have the best cheese we had ever had on pizza. This was $47 of flavorless pizza none of us could eat. It is too late for us, save yourselves. read more

We wanted a quick pizza dinner in town. Everyone working there from the wait staff to the cooks to the owner were so friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Great variety in choices and special requests were no problem. The food came out fast, hot and tasty. So happy we stopped in and will definitely return. read more

The service was outstanding! We had pizza and cheesesteak, which was outstanding! They even packaged everything up so I could bring it back to Connecticut for my family to enjoy! Owner came out and sat with patrons, and was extremely cordial. I've eaten many cheesesteaks and pizzas at the Jersey shore, and I give this one five stars. read more

Food is very good. Actually very good. The ambiance is good. The staff is very nice but poor. They have gotten my order incorrect multiple times. The literally do not know the menu!!! They just seem uninterested in serving people. read more

Lunch today was delicious:) and the service was exceptional! Thank you Michele and William, we will be back again soon! Thank you! Nonna, Jack and Camila read more

They were very friendly and very quick - the food was also very good I would go back any day. So nice to my kids!

Up here for lunch on a nice fall Sunday afternoon and sat outside with our two dogs. We enjoy the pizza here but don't expect anything amazing or something you can't find at a lot of other pizza joints. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. All in all, my family enjoyed a nice lunch outdoors on a pretty quiet day in Spring Lake. read more

My favorite bites in town are the "just right" pizza and the delish eggplant parm. Whenever my wife and I stay in Spring Lake, this is the first place we go to eat. Holly and her hubby run a clean, family friendly restaurant that's more than just a pizza joint... a menu with something for just about everyone, tasty well-prepared dishes, earnest servers that make sure you've gotten everything you need to chow down happily, and you won't wince when you get the check. Keep up the great work and don't change anything, Holly. See ya next summer! read more

Great, fresh, HOT food!!!! The owner actually waited on us, and he was very helpful and friendly. Two of the guys split a large pizza and they said it was delicious. My brother got the chicken française and said it was better than in any restaurant he's ever had it. I ordered penne with vodka sauce, peas and crumbled sausage. They special made the order for me and it was to die for. They had the most delicious warm focaccia bread they put on the table. We also ordered the hot App platter and everything on it was fantastic! Will definitely be going back! It is BYOB. read more

Quick food. Personal is nice and helpful. If there is a line it moves quickly. There's seating inside and tables outside on the sidewalk with umbrellas read more

The place can use a freshening up of its dining area but other than that the food excellent and the prices are affordable.

Had a great experience today at Spring Lake Pizzeria! We had a larger group- 5 children, 3 adults and the servers could not have been more accommodating. Fiona and Hobey were both super attentive to our table. Food was also really tasty! Definitely recommend and will return. read more

Great pizza and excellent service! Tonight was our first time here but we will definitely be back! Thank you!!!

We had a small gathering of eleven friends. The plain pizzas and 3 foot sub platter (w/pasta salad!) was a big hit. They all said how good everything was and loved the way the sub platter with the salad was presented. Everything, as always, was delicious. Delivery was also right on time. read more

I ordered one slice of pizza and it was $5 it was ok but they forgot to put the slice in the oven and 15 minutes later I asked if it was ready and they hadn't even remembered I ordered and forgot to make it read more

The pizza is amazing and the people that own and run are as nice as it gets. We have been going for many years and it remains the best pie in the area !!!! read more

We order regularly from Spring Lake Pizza. Everything we have ordered has been delicious. Their catering is also amazing.

Classic pizzeria that you can depend on even during COVID-19. As if pizza, pasta, and all the usual suspects weren't good enough, they deliver to the beach! The perfect day down the shore was made even better by splitting a margarita pie in the sand. read more

Classic go to pizza spot in spring lake. Besides good pizza they have a wide variety of Italian main stay dishes that were delicious. I recommend the chicken parm which also came with really good focaccia bread. read more

Just picked up a classic cheese pizza from these people and it was everything you could ask of a pizza and then some. The people were nice and the service was perfect. read more

When I'm down in Spring Lake and one quick slice of pizza this is the place to go for one delicious slice. Do you want to stop by for a salad the greens are fresh nice and crispy. I will definitely be making more stops during the summer and picking more off the menu and just a slice of pizza. Staff is friendly and treats everyone like family read more

The Pizza was absolutely delicious. It taste just like boardwalk pizza!!! Its the spot to be for pizza. We also had the Poppy Salad too. The poppy seed dressing was really good. Outside seating and BYO TOO. SORRY THERE IS NO Pictures bc the pizza was so delicious. read more

Pizza was pretty terrible. Honestly can't tell what it was, the cheese, the bread or the tomato sauce. Also none of were wearing masks correctly. The only thing that saving it From being a one star was the outdoor eating seemed very pleasant. read more

I gotta say. The pizzeria has some solid pizza for the most part. However, every now and then the pizza isn't top quality. I've been about 8 or 9 times now, and 3 of the times the pizza quality plummeted. I'm not sure what happened those night but the pizza quality really suffered and I was offered no compensation for the lack of quality. In all honesty it seems the owner is overcompensating with his ownership for lackluster abilities elsewhere..... So just take this into consideration when patronizing this establishment. Cheers! read more

Usually great pasta dishes, but last order meatballs were dry, and pasta sauces were watery (did they forget the cream?) What a waste of money! Maybe the cook called out sick. read more

We just arrived in Spring Lakes on Monday July 5th and came upon this pizzeria in town. Well the place was jamming and I know why the pizza is fantastic and delicious. Thank you to the owner and his wife who run a wonderful pizza I hope you get some rest before you back to school in September. Our sausage/garlic pie was soooo good. See again soon. Sue and Dave read more

Had a great dinner here with my gal pals before seeing pirates of penzance at the spring lake theater. Great food!

Typical pizzeria in atmosphere, but atypical entrees. Wonderfully delicate entrees that are not big on portions, but full of flavor. The shrimp and broccoli over angel hair pasta ($16) was delicious with fresh Parm shavings on top. The rigatoni Bolognese ($14) was rich and meaty. All 'round very nice meals, and all is a la carte. read more

Brought our Girl Scout troop for some pizza making. Barry was a great instructor and all other employees were kind, accommodating and helpful! They brought out fun appetizers while the girls waited for their pizzas to cook and were very patient with our 16 kindergartners. Plus, the pizzas were actually delicious - great sauce and delicious dough! Overall, great experience. Would probably be a great place for a birthday party too! Thanks again, Spring Lake Pizzeria! read more

We stopped here for dinner over the summer while visiting the shore. The place is pretty small so we decided to eat outside since it was such a nice day. The tables outside have umbrellas that are adjustable so you can get out of the direct sunlight. Our waitress was super nice. The food was fantastic too. They were pretty busy but were never felt neglected and it was a great experience. We even had a little entertainment while we ate. The people at the table next to us were super nasty. They were complaining about everything. "The sun is too hot." "Where is my food?" "I have some place I have to be." I don't know how servers put up with people like that. Even my 12 year old was disgusted with their behavior. The server handled it great and smiled through it. I can't speak for the quality of the food they received but I think they got the same great service we did. In all, it was great pizza, great service, and priced well. It's nice to know that even if you're feeling bi**chy you can still go here and get good food and service. Kudos to the wait staff here as well. read more

This is my first ever Yelp review as my experience was just that bad and I had to put it in writing and let the public know. I spend the weekends in Spring Lake and I've never had a bad customer experience with the local businesses until now. I wasted $25 on regular slices that were probably sitting there for days and the regular slices were burnt. Who serves burnt pizza? I continued to ask what they had in terms of different available slices as I was with my 2 year old son and literally got no answers until the rude owner told me to take a look for myself. I ordered with 2 different people working there. Completely unorganized and no one had any clue what they were doing except for the rude owner. This is the last I would go for pizza in the spring lake. You are much better off making the trek to Pete and Elda's. read more

Literally waited an hour for a small and large plain pie. Could not be a more unorganized place. You're better off getting papa johns

Not only great food, but really phenomenal service. Our server (Sophie) was very knowledgeable of the menu and had a recommendation on the spot. Their specialty salad was fantastic, and our pizza was two thumbs up. Definitely recommend!! read more

Stopped in on a rainy Saturday afternoon,just wanted a slice of pepperoni and a pop. Nice girl took a slice of the not so fresh looking pie on the counter slid it in the oven. What i got was a soggy grease soaked sponge that you couldn't even lift off the plate. Didn't even get to take a bite. Good root beer i guess. read more

We had a terrible experience with Spring Lake Pizzeria tonight! Ordered a Large Caesar salad with Grilled Shrimp for an additional $8 for take-out. When I got the salad home, I found only 4 small shrimp on the salad that I paid a total of $17.06 for or $2 each small grilled shrimp! Called the restaurant and spoke to a young lady who told me that Yes, that is all the shrimp they put on the salad. I asked to speak to a manager and was told that both were off tonight. Won't order or eat at this restaurant again! By the Way, I live in Spring Lake, not Wall. read more
