Had a delicious meal on 8/25/26. Monika was an outstanding waitress who made you feel welcome and taken care of. Very attentive and a terrific personality! Looking forward to our next visit and seeing her again! read more

As always our meal started with their world class Chopped Antipasto. This is a layer of chopped lettuce w slabs of olives, cheese, peppers and meat. It's well lubricated with plenty of Italian dressing and is always the started for our meal at Vic's. For an entry my wife had Baked cheese ravioli and a side of meatballs. The meal came with plenty of sauce with cheese on top. The side of meatballs came wit two meatballs of a generous size. What was more surprising was the cost of 2 meatballs was only $2.75. A real side bargain if you ask me. For my dinner I had the Seafood linguini. This was a plate of linguini with a pile of seafood on top. Fish, clams, mussels, shrimp and calamari in a spicy marinara sauce. The sauce was a bit thinner and saltier then typical but that's from what came out of all the sea food. And while they said it was spicy this was nothing to worry about as I didn't find it to the point where my wife wouldn't eat it. Service from Barbara was right on point as she had all the answers on menu questions and drinks were refilled in a timely manner. It was also wonderful that we got there before 5:00 pm and had a table in minutes unlike showing up at the same time in the summer. This is a very laid back restaurant with seating for couples, families and mega-families. Tonight we had a seat across from the bar and was forced to watch some football. Love this for a great Italian meal and you will never be disappointed once you suffer from a wait that might be longer then you had hoped! read more

- Large restaurant with two dining rooms and classic old-school tavern vibes, featuring mahogany walls, booths along the walls, plenty of tables, and bar seating - Service was warm, friendly, and very attentive throughout our meal - Food was very good: the thin-crust pizza held together well and had a tangy tomato sauce; the salad was fresh, with large, flavorful tomato chunks and just the right amount of dressing; calamari was nicely fried, though the portion could have been bigger - Private parking lot with plenty of spaces read more

THE FOOD ---------------- + House Salad - Tomato chunks, red onion slices, olives, cheese and LOTS of vinaigrette. Solid typical house salad. + Fried Calamari - Was a smaller portion than we anticipated, but was well-fried and very good though. Just wish the plate was bigger. + Large Plain Pizza - Vic's classic 14" thin crust pie - Very thin and very good. Like the restaurant, it was a no frills cheese pizza that was light. For a large pizza, 14" is kind of small and we would have liked if it was more of a standard size large pie at 18". THE SERVICE ------------------- + Waitress was friendly and all of our food arrived very fast after ordering. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Old school interior. No fanciness here. Just a whole lot of wood walls and panels with a bar in the back. + Private parking lot in the back has a lot of spaces. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Arrived at around 1:30 on an August Saturday afternoon and it was busy inside, but not overwhelmingly so. We were seated right away and there were plenty of open tables and booths to spare. = They sell merch, specifically restaurant-branded T-shirts at $20 a pop (as of August 2026). read more

Went for the classic Italian pizza option in Bradley Beach for dinner last weekend. We had four adults and two pre-teens, and managed to finish almost 3 full large pies (the crust is pretty thin, but we also like to eat!). We got a special pie (sausage and green peppers), one with onions and pimentos (maybe my new favorite!), and one with pepperoni and meatballs (I would've preferred pepperoni by itself). Other facts -- full bar, lots of space for seating and larger parties, all people from your party need to be there before they'll seat you, and a parking lot. read more

Recently went down to Jersey shore to visit family and found this place on Yelp, I have to say they have one of the best ultra thin pizza ( bar Pizza)I've ever had anywhere. The crust and dough is outstanding great sauce and cheese and they offer many different toppings as well. The chopped antipasto salad is a must, enough for 4 people. Was in the mood for cheese ravioli and this dish was just way overcooked and very mushy... definite disappointment. Carafe and half carafes of red and White House wine, decent and goes great with the fantastic pizza. Fish, eggplant, chicken, and veal dishes. The veal dishes are cubed veal didn't order. Waitstaff is hit or miss. Some very friendly others not. Place is very busy and many locals love this place. Definitely recommend for the pizza. Truly one of the best. read more

Old School traditional Tavern setting established 1947. Friendly Service and a straightforward menu. Formica tables, Carpeted Floor, Wood Paneling. It's 1965 in here and it's fine with me! Vic's is unapologetically traditional! They do what they do and do it right. If you're searching for a traditional Bar/Tavern style Pizza. Look no further. Its good reputation is well earned. Thin Crispy Crust, Sweet Sauce and gooey cheese. Can be a little greasy but actually in a GOOD way! Flavor bomb! Pepperoni, Sausage and Onions is the way to go! Fried Calamari appetizer is just the right size and if you order the Antipasto Salad; it can be shared by 4 people. It's BIG! Seating can be a little trying on busier nights (weekends/Summer) etc but moves well enough, and worth waiting. read more

I've been told to come here and finally visited! The parking lot was packed so we found street parking. Came during the week and when we walked in the waiting area was crowded, so we thought there was going to be a wait, but we were seated right away. Sat in a booth in the bar area and I liked the old school, yet comfortable vibe there. We got drinks- the wine was a little pricier than I expected and I wish they served single glasses of prosecco instead of just a bottle. We started with the chopped antipasto salad which I really liked and then we got a regular bar pie which was awesome. Probably my favorite bar pie. The server was also really sweet. Can't wait to keep coming back! read more

BRADLEY BEACH: A true staple in the heart of town, Vic's Italian Restaurant is a beloved Italian restaurant and bar serving up everything from classic pasta dishes and crave-worthy pizza to fresh salads and hearty meat and seafood plates. The linguine with tomato sauce and the meatball-topped pizza were both absolutely delicious, especially when paired with a glass of wine or a handcrafted cocktail. They have a full bar and can make just about anything! We sat on their charming, dog-friendly patio, which features a few umbrella-covered tables nestled around an ornate water fountain, such a peaceful spot to dine. Just have someone in your party check in at the host stand inside, then walk around to the Main Street gate to access the patio. Shoutout to our server Ella for being so sweet and attentive! read more

Vic's Italian Restaurant - Pizza Near Me - Bradley Beach, New Jersey

- Service: Fast and friendly staff. - Ambiance: They could get packed during the summer time even if it's on a random week day. However, they're a big restaurant with a lot of indoor and outdoor seatings. Clean and nice atmosphere. Moderate noise so you can still talk and listen to each other. - Food: I dined here for the first with a friend back in summer 23' and I remember their plain pizza and their chopped salad are to die for with a huge portion! However, I came back with my family recently for summer 25' and it's quite disappointing. Complimentary bread is nothing special. Mussel sauce pasta is too watery and pretty bland. We add pepper & onion to our pizza. It came out freshly hot like always and definitely hit the spot if you're hungry or craving for some pizzas. Their dough leans more to a thin and crusty type of dough, which I like. It just didn't impress me as much as the first time I had it so just 4 stars for now. Will comeback if we ever go down the beach though. read more

Classic old Italian pizzeria. We found Vic's because of the slice app that my husband follows. I would give the pizza about 7.5/10 great crispy crust, toppings don't fall off, and good sauce taste. Lights on the wall a little dusty but the place looks pretty clean besides that. I am picky because my family owns Italian restaurants but this pizza was very good I would come again. read more

Great pizza and mussels marina in a tightly run old school pizzeria and restaurant. I hope it's around for a long time.

Ok. So - per ALL the locals - this is the casual spot to go to. It's been around forever and the staff is super engaging and friendly. I opted for the house wine which was just fine for a late summer night after the beach. The portions are HUGE. Here's the breakdown- the house salad is delicious. We had garlic bread with cheese which was addictive. My soup was delicious and super filling. Sadly then entrees were just below average - their "signature" lasagna was subpar, the pasta pomodoro was blah, and my chicken parmigiano was ok. The bill was super cheap so if you're looking for a quick, no frills place. This is it. read more

As an almost 50 year customer I have to say I was disappointed in our pizzas this visit. I was so looking forward to having Vic's. Not the same as it used to be. It wasn't super busy so that's not an excuse. Not sure what happened. Not enough sauce. Can't pinpoint it. Just different. read more

Have eaten here many times. Love the neighborhood vibe. The food has been solid but not super memorable or outstanding. We've brought friends from out of town and it's convenient, but again, not amazing. They weren't wowed by the food. We like to order the meatballs and add to our own pasta when in a hurry or get a pizza to go. Wish they had garlic knots on their menu. read more

Vic's Italian Restaurant - Just one of their meatballs. 2 come in an order. - Pizza Near Me - Bradley Beach, New Jersey

I went to Vic's last night for my first time. The three high school girls working the front desk were pleasant enough, but had zero sense of hospitality. They seemed as if their primary goal was to herd the lines of waiting patrons - nothing more. I imagine that when you are as busy as Vic's, there is not much interest in training the front of house staff. The decor and furnishings were befitting a restaurant under fourth generation management. They appeared as if they have been there since Gen 1. I was surprisingly not impressed with the pizza. The crust was delicious, but the cheese and sauce were bland. My wife and I had the veal parm and chicken parm dinners. Both were delicious and plentiful. We are having leftovers for lunch today. Vic's has a decent wine list with very reasonable prices. Bottom line: I'll go back and I recommend this restaurant to others. N.B. Amanda was our server. She was very professional, efficient and friendly. Her service made the dinner even more enjoyable. Kudos to her! read more

Having not been here since the 90s, and being in the area, I figured it would be a great place for dinner. I am happy that they haven't sold it/sold out and have kept the beautiful locked in time interior. All wood, clean, well kept and made me happy to eat there. Our waitress was a long time employee and was great to have. She was quick, helpful, always kept our drinks topped off and a great face for the restaurant. Pizza... Many people love the pizza, which is too greasy for me, however the veal parmigiana was delicious and tasted like it was home made. It has been a couple months since I was there, so I forgot what everyone else had, but I do remember that the price was decent and everyone enjoyed what they had. read more

Old school thin crust pizza with lots of bubbles! Love me some bubbles on my pie! Crust-delicious, cheese-delicious, sauce-meh, but ok. Place is definitely a step into the past (as all good Jersey joints are). The one negative is the service, the staff here couldn't give a damn if you died at the table waiting for a drink refill or check read more

Friendly staff, fabulous pizza, and pasta, throw back shore interiors and ample parking

I'm not a local - I live in NYC - but I have family who grew up on the Jersey Shore and still live in the area to this day. On multiple occasions they have brought me to Vic's, and it's been fantastic every time - there's a reason there is always a wait! Every visit we get the chopped antipasto salad and a large pie - typically pepperoni + another topping (I think we added onions on my last visit). It's the perfect meal - which I also always enjoy with an orange soda. There's just something about pizza and orange soda together - it's a must! The restaurant itself has pretty much looked the same over the years, and the staff has always been friendly and efficient. The prices are also very fair, and the servings are good sizes. Just writing this review is making me hungry. I could eat the chopped antipasto salad every day. I have yet to find a comparable option in NYC so if anyone knows of one, please tell me. Until next time, I'll be dreaming of Vic's. read more

This restaurant it's been around for 90 years. It opened as a tap room in 1933. In 1947 the original family expanded it to a restaurant. So it's 75 years as a restaurant. When you walk inside it feels like you have stepped back in time. Wood paneling inside and nice comfortable booths. The chandeliers they have remind me of the 1950s. I've been coming here for many years. The pizza is absolutely wonderful. Fresh flavorful sauce good crust. The meatballs are the very best. The sausage is also good. I have never tried the pepperoni but the waitress said it's very good. The hut heroes like meatball Parmesan/eggplant Parmesan and chicken Parmesan are very good. I tried a cup of New England clam chowder as the waitress said it's homemade. It certainly was very very good and did not contain any monosodium gluconate I've tried the veal Parmesan entrée. It's very very good tender and flavorful. The neon that wraps around the entire restaurant. The neon sign is very impressive. You definitely should try the pizza it's the best item I believe. But you can't go wrong with hut heroes salad soup chicken Parmesan veal Parmesan. It's a wonderful iconic place definitely worth a few visits if you're visiting for read more

This is a mom and pop throw back Italian restaurant with old fashioned decor. Old Italian favorite tunes play on stereo and old wooden chairs and booths make it like a scene from an Italian film . The staff is super friendly and helpful and bathrooms clean. Their pizza is thin crusted and crust is crispy on edges and soft in middle . Rich sauce and cheese adorn the pie and we put fresh sausage on it. Great flavor ! Prices are good for lunches and portion sizes on menu looked large from neighboring plates. Go early as it can be crowded . read more

Went to Vic's for the first time to try their pizza. The crust was good but could be crispier. Cheese was tasty but their sauce was not as tasty and a bit off. Their sausage was good but I feel the pepperoni pizza didn't have a lot of pepperoni and a bit skimpy based on other pizzas I tried elsewhere. They told me their cheese ravioli was homemade but it tasted like it was frozen and not fresh. The salad is large enough for 4-6 people to share. My mother ordered a hamburger which was good. She asked if they could put an egg on it even though it's on the menu separately they said they couldn't do it: they are not flexible. Prices I thought were reasonable. They have plenty of room for seating even though they don't take reservations. They do take credit cards. We drove 1:45 to eat there. But probably not enough to my standards to go out of my way again to eat there: the place has been there for over 70' years and is iconic. Place was busy. read more

Our family had been coming here for years. It has been a tradition to come back every time we visit New Jersey. Today when we came back, it was absolutely packed! But for how busy it was, the staff was working quickly to get people to their seats and serve them. We were told we would have to wait about 1/2 hour for a table for three people, but ended up waiting about 10-15 minutes. The feel of the restaurant is very home style Italian. Very family friendly and has a great atmosphere. The staff, while super busy, were still super friendly and took our order and brought out our food very quickly. We got a pizza, veal parm, eggplant parm, and a pasta fagioli soup, plus a side of meatballs. As an Italian family, we can be very picky about Italian restaurants. But every time we come here we end up loving the food. The veal was very tasty, and the eggplant parm was delicious. In addition the meatballs had a similar taste to a classic family meatball recipe that we have had for generations. The soup was pretty good as well, with the veggies cooked well and a good amount of soup components mixed in the broth. Of course the thin crust pizza was the star of the show. Super crunchy and the toppings were amazing. This is a great option for family dinner, especially if you want something simple and hearty. read more

The good about this is that the sausages real overall taste of it is real and then crispy everything taste pretty good overall authenticity of it taste nice. The bad soup was so thick. There was just no broth mushed together just did not look appealing came with the bread was so cold and hard , no spread at all. The Beers taste crispy. Nice on this hot day. The waitress could be a little bit nicer. read more

I wanted it medium rare and it came out medium rare. 3. The soup my wife ordered was excellent. 4. And I saw a salad go to another table and ordered it and the salad was awesome. I split it with my wife. 5. bread was brought to the table with butter and we enjoyed it while we were waiting for the meal and they offered us another loaf of hot bread which we declined classy place.
