I'm writing this review mainly to clarify that there IS indoor seating here - enough booths and tables for about 24 people. Very informal, of course. But my point is that you don't have to take your pizza to go. I had three(!) slices here last week. Very affordable. The plain cheese was just OK - a little dry - it might have been left over from the night before (only one slice was available and I was there at the beginning of lunch). The veggie slice (broccoli and sliced tomato, no sauce) was solid. The "Grandma" slice was FANTASTIC, saucy and flavorful, and that's what I'll be ordering next time. read more

I've lived in Asbury Park since 2011 and this is THE go-to place for pizza. No, it's not fancy. But it's honest to goodness, authentic, traditional New Jersey pizza run by great guys. Besides your staples when ordering by the slice (plain, pepperoni, meat lovers, white, thick crust, Sicilian, granny), they'll always have a couple of daily special pizzas to order by the slice. When we're not interested in cooking dinner and don't feel like dining out, this is where we'll order to pick up from. Also great meatball parm and chicken parm subs! If you're there even once every other month, they'll remember you, which is also nice. It's nice to be recognized, remembered, and acknowledged. read more

They have the best pizza in Asbury. It's nothing fancy or gourmet. Just old fashioned, traditional pizza. The staff are very nice and friendly. The atmosphere has the classic Italian feel to it. read more

If you want NYC-style pizza, this is the place to go in AP. The crust is neither too thin nor too thick, and the sauce and cheese are awesome, For desserts, the Tiramisu and Limoncello cake are both awesome choices. Price is reasonable and delivery is quick. Try it! To get delivery, use the TJ's Pizza AP app available on the App Store for iPhone (I assume it's also available on the Google Play Store for Android.) I've read some reviews where people had trouble with phone orders, but the app works perfectly. read more

Not happy with this Chef's salad, at all! Yes, plenty of ham, turkey & cheese, but where are the hard boiled eggs, a staple in a Chef's salad? And, I have only 2 slices of tomato! Not happy about having to give a non-favorable review, but if the shoe fits. read more

TJ's - Mega turkey, ham & provolone, but where are the hard boiled eggs and tomatoes in this Chef's salad? - Pizza Near Me - Asbury Park, New Jersey

Everything at TJ's is great. Worth the price. The pizza is amazing and the cheese steaks are my favorite

Just go you won't be disappointed. Pizza is authentic NYC pizza, and the owner is super nice. We recently relocated to Asbury Park for work and have been there twice. Will be back often. My heart is still with Chicago style pizza, but New York Pizza is good too!! read more

Consistently good food served in pleasant surroundings. Ample bar seating for single diners too. All female staff experienced & helpful. More choices on the menu would be appreciated read more

I forced myself to give TJ's two stars primarily because the food was actually pretty good. Otherwise, TJ's would have certainly received one star from me. I ordered a calzone with sausage, bacon and onions on June 9, at 4:30 pm. They gave me a broccoli calzone instead. I only realized this error when I began to cut the calzone into pieces. When I discovered there was no bacon, I right away threw it into my garbage can since I do not like broccoli at all. When I called TJ's, I asked to speak to the manager, John, who originally took my order. He instantly admitted that he wrote down bacon on the order form but his employee mistakenly put broccoli instead. When I told John that I had thrown it away into the garbage can, John insisted that the only way I could obtain the correct calzone was for me to take out the broccoli calzone out of the garbage and return it to him. I complained to John that this was gross and asked to speak to one of the owners, Sam. First, John said that Sam wasn't there and he didn't know when Sam would return. I politely reminded John that I was just there picking up my order and saw Sam behind the counter. He then begrudgingly put Sam on the phone. Sam was exceedingly rude and wouldn't discuss the issue with me. He insisted that John was absolutely right in telling me to take the calzone out of the garbage, otherwise I wouldn't get my correct calzone. He insultingly told me that he was very busy with customers. I reminded him that I AM A CUSTOMER. He then reluctantly agreed to send over the right calzone to my residence after I rejected his idea of returning to TJ's myself. I waited over 30 minutes for the right calzone to arrive, the one that I paid for and did not originally receive. The collective customer service I received from both John and Sam was totally atrocious and unacceptable. There appears to be some type of inept pattern because I ordered food the week prior and they screwed up that order too. That order was over $44.00. Again, they had to subsequently bring me the correct item I ordered. This order was $39.00. Since Sam and John are in the business of dealing with customers, and unfortunately, have made it a consistent habit of botching orders, I assiduously believe they should brush up on their people skills. After all, it is us, customers, who allow them to remain in business on a daily basis and to continue to screw up our orders. read more

Excellent pizza and wonderful staff. I was surprised how the pizza was so good! Glad I finally stopped in here and tried it out. Keep up the good work guys! read more

TJ's - Buffalo chicken - Pizza Near Me - Asbury Park, New Jersey

I'm not sure where to start with this review because so much went wrong but here it goes. I ordered roughly 6 pies and wings. I got a couple grandmas pies a couple pepperoni and plains. The grandmas pies were really really thick like Sicilian but doughy and undercooked. It didn't have any fresh mootz on it no fresh garlic or basil (if I was reading this review I'd stop here and just move on to the next establishment because that's just sacrilegious ) .. Just sauce and they scooped on jarred minced garlic **gross** The rest of the pizzas were very thick and undercooked. Doughy in the middle. The wings were minuscule. Like the size of my pinky and I have small hands. They were fried which is fine but because the pizza took an hour and a half to be delivered to my house, they were disgusting and soggy. There was also hardly and meat on them. Definitely a waste of money all around. I paid $60 plus dollars for my meal and tip I wouldn't give them another dime of my money. Way better food options in the area. They need to get their act together because Asbury has WAY too many amazing eateries. read more

TJ's - a sunset over a large building - Pizza Near Me - Asbury Park, New Jersey

Looking for a slice of pizza, touring area for first time and didn't want to take a ton of time to eat lunch . Excellent pizza, great flavor and not greasy Highly recommend! read more

Two pepperoni slices and a 7-Up soda= $9....??? (Something ain't right here) Not worth the price. A pie is $9 Customer service is ok. Pizza felt "old" and dry, and there was barely any distinctive taste . I got here around 7:30 pm. If I am in the area, I will try earlier. Hopefully the quality is better next time. ‍ They accept debit or cash. read more

Amazing local pizza spot. Probably the best in the town hands down! Looks very "round th way" but don't judge a book by its cover. Definitely worth a try. read more

Placed an order here and were shorted on the order. I called and they said they would run it back out but that never happened . Pretty lousy service. If you order from here keep your fingers crossed. Doesn't it suck you never get an extra food mistake? The day that happens I'll run for lottery tickets. read more

Family owned for 31 years. This place is a staple in town offering a wide variety of food. Dinner portions are large and the sauce is very flavorful and hearty. The pizza is a nice blend of sauce and cheese and a balanced dough as the platform. I recommend the Margarita Pie as it's literally a perfect combination of ingredients! Try them out. You'll love the food and the family who runs this establishment as they are down to earth people who care about the food the read more

OMG the pizza is great here. My daughter and I only get pizza from here since we first tried it two months ago. If you like a pie with flavor this is your place. By the way, the Tavern Pie is amazing. I had a few slices and fell in love. If you want a good Alice of pizza the way it used to be in NYC back in the day try this place. read more

DO NOT order from this place through Seamless or a delivery app. On two separate occasions they waited like 30 minutes and then suddenly cancelled my order. How lame. read more

TJ's - the front of a pizza restaurant - Pizza Near Me - Asbury Park, New Jersey

I love going into TJ's because it feels like a traditional italian pizza place. It has that hole in the wall vibe and the staff are always talkative and nice. My favorite thing on the menu is their stromboli because of how huge and flavorful it is. Their pizza is also great along with the few other dishes I've had. Definitely worth a visit in my book! read more

Ordered delivery pizza from TJ's tonight in Asbury Park (we were at the Silverball Pinball Museum).....and were very happy with the quality of the pizza. Obviously I can't speak to the location, however- the pizza was top quality. read more

This place is awesome every time. These cheesesteak we got last night was the best cheesesteak I've ever had and I've had a lot

Thanks to TJ's for fast (safely distanced) friendly delivery for Sunday afternoon pie. Y'all be good to yourselves.

I had a hankering for a New York style pizza and TJ's Pizza in Asbury Park really hit the spot! The crust was just the perfect thickness, with the right amount of cheese and a classic sauce. Highly recommend this place! read more

Used to love it but has been disappointing lately. Pizza is ok but there's better around. Hot subs are good. The pasta dishes are horrible though. Ordered a vodka pene with chicken and yuck. Vodka sauce should be pink and creamy. It was so oily, no cream all, not close to a real vodka sauce and the chicken was so tough and rubbery. The chicken isn't edible and the pastas is just oily and tasteless. All that after over an hour wait for delivery. I'm done with TJs read more

Gréât Pizza... TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! I ordered a large pizza online. Added pepperoni to half of the pizza. They charge you for adding it to the whole pie. I call back to add sausage on the same half because my mom wanted sausage and I'm being told we have to pay $1.50. Then the man who says he's not the "owner" that Grubhub and all the sites jack up the price to get their percentage. That's a lie. You don't understand technology and common sense logic. If you charge $1.50 for half toppings and I already paid $3.00 for half toppings. Common sense tells you, you already got paid an extra $1.50. But that's ok. You lost a customer over a dollar and gained a shitty review. read more

Born and raised in NJ I've spent YEARS looking for a good slice of pizza. Cue TJs in Asbury Park. Who would have ever thought this tiny little hole in the wall pizza place made the greatest pizzas in the world. Their service is crazy fast and their delivery drivers are extremely friendly. My husband and I are considering moving and literally one of our criteria for choosing the new location we live in is that TJs needs to still be able to deliver to us. Keep up the good work TJs! read more

Do yourself a favor and stop by here on the way to the beach. Top 3 cheese steaks ever had. Slices looked good too. People were nice. Definitely coming back read more

Great pizza. Also super fast and friendly delivery. Very pleased and will order again

There are two types of pizza. Fancy wood fire oven style or classic pizzeria style. TJs has the best classic pizzeria pie in the area. Hands down beats federicos and santinos. read more

Great food! I've been going to TJ's for over 20 years. Hands down the best pizza ever. The people are friendly and they will deliver just about anything. You can never go wrong with the special on mon & tue{large cheese pizza}. Absolutely two thumbs up! read more

TJ's - Pizza Near Me - Asbury Park, New Jersey

Stopped in a few days ago to grab a slice for the first time. It's a great hole in the wall sorta pizza shop. Definitely a Jersey pizzeria. The pizza was great. Crispy and tasty crust, good amount of cheese and the sauce was just a touch on the more acidic side. My boyfriend had a square slice and enjoyed it as well. I've had better pizza than this in NJ, but this is a great place for pizza. I'd definitely come back. read more

I wish I could give this place negative stars. I've ordered here several times. Two out of the five times I had pizza here there was a hard rock in it. The second time I examined it I could tell it was an old piece of wood from a paddle chips off. They denied the case. They said in the four years of working there they never saw or heard such a thing. When u put pizza in its dough so the fact that he said the wood is under the pizza isn't true it could have made its way into the dough like it did mine. I was upset with the way he was talking to me. He said If I came in sooner he would have done something for me. I said who would want to come in after that. I was hoping for an apology or maybe some type of discount but, I got nothing but an angry inconsiderate man yelling "YOU KNOW WHAT, GET THE FUCK OUT...You Come inHere Busting my BALLS" What a filthy man he is. Their pizza is as gross as his language. If it weren't for the convenience I never would have been there to be gain with. If you want your hard earned money going someplace that doesn't deserve it then go here. Their pizza tastes worse than Kennedy's and is twice the price. Stick to Kennedy's because they at least have class and compassion and the pizza won't chip and break your teeth there. read more

Pizza is great, the rest is bland Italian with little taste. It's not terrible, but not great. Management and staff are beyond rude, and for this they have lost my business. I have never experienced anything like the way they treated me ever before. read more

Very thin and crispy pizza with a robust sauce. Had a couple of slices of pepperoni and mushroom last time I went. Stopped by on several occasions late at night after coming off of work and they were accommodating even though it was near closing time. Overall a good pizza place, better than some in the area. read more
