Wayne Ale House & Pizza 611 Ratzer Rd. Wayne, NJ 07470 Super Size Me Slice Ironically, the back entrance looks like the front of the restaurant while the front entrance looks like the back. The 24-inch super slice was cooked well done with homemade tomato sauce and Grande mozzarella cheese. I especially enjoyed the red sauce because it was sweet with a mild kick. Pizza bubbles were on the slice,  but I did not mind as they were minimal in size. The crust was thin and crispy with a slight char on the bottom. You won't be able to eat with your bare hands, unless you use a fork & knife or a complementary take home pizza cutter. Dave Portnoy rated this pie in the 7 range, but I would have definitely scored it in the 9 range.  #oversizedmenuitems #giganticfood #openwide #supersizemeslice #waynealehouse #waynealehouseandpizza read more

Went to an 80s night, was loud and fun, lots of tvs, lots of beers, too little staff, but considered the amount of people they had to serve, service was decent! We had the 24" pizza, it was indeed good, and tons of leftovers, which my son has been enjoying, so win/win We also had a burger and mozzarella sticks, which were typical bar fair (so nothing to write about) read more

The pizza was and service were great! I don't recommend the brussels sprouts as they were mushy and not roasted. The ricotta with the meatballs was a nice touch! I think we found our new local spot. read more

Service was good, waitress was really nice and attentive. The food is mediocre and everything is cooked in beef tallow , which is stated on the menu I just wish I could've read it more clearly because I hate the taste of beef tallow. Ambience is like a typical "sports bar" games on most of the TVS. read more

Wayne Ale House & Pizza - Fried Pickle Chips , Oven Roasted Jumbo Wings (8) , Pub Fries - Pizza Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

Stopped in after a beach day feeling very hungry and thirsty! Our bartender Jason was very welcoming and gave us some recommendations for what we should eat. We decided on a pair of ice cold summer shandies, buffalo and garlic parm wings, and a pie. The wings were nice and crispy without being overly breaded. The star of the show was definitely the pie!! I can be picky about pizza but this one really stood out with its crispy crunchy crust and flavorful sauce and cheese! Would definitely come back for the pie and great service! read more

Came here for a family Christmas get together for the first time. We had a party of 11, however the only space available was downstairs where trivia night was taking place. Our family that ranged in age from 2-72 decided to play. We ordered a bunch of appetizers including wings, chicken strips and fries and garlic Parmesan wings. All were great and well cooked and plenty to share. The biggest surprise was the pizza! The pies were HUGE and so thin and crispy! No soggy drooping pizza here. Great service and trivia night was a blast. We may make this a yearly event. Our team came in 2nd place! read more

Everyone i take here is surprised how great the pizza is. Super crispy and great. They also have a 2 foot diameter pizza! insane. So rare you get a pizza that big, boardwalk size slices and they are crispy and great. Bar area is cool, they have a back dining room that a bit more quiet and even have space downstairs too for private parties and stuff. Nice big parking lot. This is a solid spot that arguably has some of my favorite pizza. Service has always been fine, food comes out fast and bar tenders seem to be quick. read more

Wanted to love it but service at bar except for Nino was awful. Not attentive at all. Food was terrible, chicken dishes way over cooked, dry and bland and served on tiny dishes that if you cut anything it went flying off the tiny dish. Couldn't make any martini i asked for n settled for one on their cocktail list which was good. the club soda was flat and when informed the bartender he agreed Bartenders didn't know how to change channels to games requested. Won't be back unfortunately even though close to home read more

Service is great, menu is great! Best wings in NJ. Also the buffalo chicken salad is absolutely amazing. Try the Tavern bar pie if you can! read more

We recently visited a new pizza and bar spot that has taken over the space where the popular college bar, Green House, once stood. They now serve pizza, wings, and a variety of classic bar fare. The pizza had already caught my attention after getting a strong review from Dave Portnoy, and I can now confirm it's very good. The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside but still had a soft, flavorful doughiness inside. Our bartender, Sammy, was fantastic. Very personable, attentive, and full of great recommendations and stories, which made the experience even better. We also tried the Caesar salad. While it wasn't the best I've ever had (mostly due to too many croutons), it was impressively cold which is a big deal, since many places tend to serve it warm or at room temperature, which we're not fans of. The dressing was also spot-on. The chicken wings were solid as well They were flavorful and cooked nicely. Think bowling alley chicken fingers. Nice and crisp. Now, the real star of the night: the honey churros. Absolutely life changing. We would honestly come back just for them. We also took home a veggie burger and an order of cannolis (came with 4) for a family member, and he said both were excellent. Oh and the drinks were really good also. Had an apperol spritz a Paloma and a espresso martini. All of which Sammy made perfect. Overall, this place is a great addition to the area. We'll definitely be back! read more

Went twice while at a youth hockey tourney in Wayne. The tavern pie was a top 5 pizza I have had in my life. Wings were awesome. Staff was amazing both days. Showed up with 17 kids on a busy Saturday night and they had no problem seating us and feeding us. Wish it wasn't 4 hrs away. read more

The service was good, the scene was cool, the food was absolutely false advertising. Pictures speak for themselves.... we came out of our way to try the food that they advertised, absolutely not what we got. read more

I really enjoy this place because the staff are friendly and there are so many options for food on the menu. It has a few areas of seating depending on what you want; family style seating or bar seating. They also have fun events like trivia night, bingo and 80s music. read more

Wow. Brought some takeout last night Caesar salad was brown and looked like it just came out of the garbage. Nothing for nothing but come on guys. You gotta know this before you send it out. The meatballs tasted like cardboard. The pizza wasn't bad. That's why they get two sources good luck. read more

I usually don't write reviews but I feel like I must tonight!! I've attended this establishment a few times and can't say that I had an issue especially on a busy night but today we opted to sit in the lower level of restaurant and I felt the service was slower and then we were waiting for our pizza for over an hour. I usually have a drink and let things be but I asked the server explained it was sent to the wrong table and was apologized. While I understand that people make mistakes there are people that work all day and just want to eat relax and go. I understand mistakes are made but I didn't feel that it was rectified!!!!!! read more

Used to really like their pizza especially their bar pie not sure what happened in the last couple months but the pizza is just not as good. The dough and sauce is not good . I don't think I'll be going back. read more

I am shocked to see all the good reviews!! We went yesterday at 3 pm place was pretty dead and service was still awful!! We had to ask for water about 5 times, our app. Came out after the dinners, didn't get ketchup, utensils, sauces- had to get a few things ourself. One person didn't get their food for 10 min after everyone and it was ice cold. Wings were the only thing good! My chicken tasted like a previous frozen patty and fries were burnt and limp. The chicken piece was also cut in half on the bun. Waiter disappeared! Worst meal in a long time. My sister ordered a salad- was skimpy chicken on one plate and some tomatoes and mozzarella on a different plate. Pretty small also. Also menus were dirty and table was sticky. read more

Best pizza I've ever had. Something is in the sauce that is fantastic. The ale house burger and pub fries were also great. Lots of big screens to watch sports, downstairs had a band playing and upstairs they had karaoke. read more

Eh. Didn't have the giant pizza so may try that if we go back. Husband enjoyed chicken arugula sandwich. Not much at all for vegetarians. I was starving but wound up just choosing Brussels sprouts. They came out almost raw and not hot. I asked them to cook them a little more. After 30 minutes they hadn't come back out of the kitchen so we asked that they be taken off the bill, which they did. It's a good place for sports fans with lots of TVs. Kind of loud, which is fine, lots of younger locals. read more

So today was strike two... First time we went there as a family the chicken fingers were so over cooked I think I chipped a tooth and the pizza was like tree bark with no cheese as it all baked off! Today my wife took the kids there for lunch during spring break. She walked in and the dining room is blocked off to sit. It says "section closed" guy on phone says nothing to her or the kids. She peeked downstairs and people are at the bar eating and drinking. She wasn't about to eat at the bar with two kids. Needless to say don't say "Open" and not have an open dining room... Needless to say she walked out, and not one word from the staff. Update in response to owners comments: Why would I want to come back you ask? I try to give small local businesses a chance and in this case a second chance. By the comments of the restaurant representative they are unwilling to accept they are anything but perfect. As for today sitting in the bar, as a mom with 2 kids under 13, they didn't feel comfortable sitting in the dark with two old men drinking beer at noon. Hope you take this a constructive not controversial and make some changes to assist staff and customers. read more

Best pizza in NJ. Wings are fantastic. Definitely give this place a try! I highly recommend this place as well as their other location Wayne Ale House read more

Excited to try this local spot. Found a table upstairs quickly on a Friday night, which was a plus. Loud dining room with loud music. Hard to talk but Ok, this is their vibe with music videos and sports on the TVs. Started out with hot wings which came out before our beers... wow that was fast and wings were well executed and tasty, spice was perfect and wings were on the crispy side which is good. Beers arrived shortly thereafter and the beer on tap (IPAs, we tried 2) were just ok. Burger was ok, fries were soggy as if frying oil wasn't hot enough. Personal sized White pizza had perfect crust but was flavorless. We noted they had large pies which look worth a try but maybe the white pizza was the wrong choice (???) although the table next to us left their pizza when they left. Service was quick and courteous.. silverware was dingy looking. Might for back for wings or a large pepperoni pie to give it one more chance (but might not). read more

Terrible, 18 dollars for probably the worst chicken parm sandwich I've ever had. Will never dine here again.

Great pizza tv beer and bartender Lots of parking and meatballs are good Down stairs bar is a great place read more

The service was actually pretty good for a pub place. Their bar pie was very good as well.

The beer selection is good, lots of choices on tap. I only had some Brussel sprouts that were very tasty due to the lack of vegan options on the menu. Hint offer up a loaded veggie cheese less pizza for those of us that can't to dairy. read more

Absolutely outstanding pizza with a thin crispy crust. Best prices on drinks around. Most importantly, great atmosphere and friendly service!!! Oh and during the Christmas Season they have Made Elf on tap!!! read more

We went to Wayne Ale House this past weekend, since it was owned by the same person that owns Little Falls Tavern, where we had previously gone. We understood (incorrectly) that they shared a Menu and was a larger facility with parking, which Little Falls did not have. When we viewed the Menu, we found it limited to Pizza and Sandwiches (Little Falls offered a steak and several chicken entrees). We ordered Pizza and Wings, along with Beer and Wine (not what we intended). Pizza was good, Wings were not, decent selection of Craft Beer. I guess I should have read the Menu online. I'll know better next time. read more

I've been here a few times in the past year with my family and really enjoyed it, but today's visit was not a great experience. The first red flag was that the place was completely empty -- no customers in the dining or bar area, just the staff and what looked like an 8-year-old kid hanging around. I ordered the two-slice special, and honestly, it was inedible. The slices were clearly from yesterday -- dried out and tough. I also tried the chicken arugula sandwich, but the focaccia was so stale I couldn't even bite through it. When I complained, instead of making things right, they just handed me more bread... as if I was supposed to rebuild my own sandwich. Really disappointing, especially considering how much I enjoyed this spot before. I hope they can turn things around, because right now it feels like the quality and care have completely slipped. read more

The Wayne Ale House has a new upscale and modern look to their second floor bar area. Greeted by the hostesses and were able to get a seat at the bar right away. The service at the bar was great and any questions we had were answered. We ordered the pub fries, a tavern pizza, a pepperoni pizza with mikes hot honey. Everything was cooked through and the pizza had a nice crunch with the fresh ingredients that were on top. The portion sizes were fair for what you're getting and where you are getting it from. For an ale house they have a decent amount of beers on tap and the beers taste clean which is a plus. Drink prices are also fair. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a quick bite to eat and or have good drinks with friends and family. read more

If you're a pizza snob, you can't go wrong. Crispy crust, great sauce and great sauce to cheese ratio. Surprisingly, this place stacks up against the best of any in Jersey. And the large pie is HUGE. read more

I ordered a pizza from Wayne Ale House through DoorDash, and when it arrived, a slice was already missing--it looks like the Door Dash driver, Arbel R., ate it. This is completely unacceptable and beyond unprofessional. The business transaction was between myself and Wayne Ale House, even though Wayne Ale House outsourced delivery. Wayne Ale House is responsible for ensuring the food reaches their client in proper condition--complete, safe, and intact. If their chosen delivery partner (DoorDash) fails to deliver on that, the accountability still reflects on Wayne Ale House. "Not our problem" is not a professional or acceptable customer service response. Regardless of who delivered it, I received a tampered product, and Wayne Ale House should care and help resolve it. After I opened the box, I called the pizzaria and spoke with Joe. He basically said not our problem. Wayne Ale House chose to partner with DoorDash. That makes Wayne Ale House responsible for vetting the reliability of that service. Wayne Ale House could file a complaint with DoorDash, or refund the order. Saying "too bad" damages your establishments credibility and customer trust. read more

Service at the bar is poor. Obnoxious bartender!! I would recommend Maggie's in Wayne instead. read more

Food and service were very good. Pizza was delicious. Nice atmosphere! Was there with some friends and we were well taken care of.

I'm giving four stars since we had a really good time at Bar Bingo last week and everyone liked the pizza. I personally was disappointed to learn that they use chicken stock in the marinara sauce so I did not have any pizza. The food is all fried and typical bar food which I think is so dated and unhealthy, but people seem to enjoy it. I was really hoping for better, healthier options when it first opened. I don't eat meat, fish or dairy so I ended up bringing my own food which is fine by me. I am very picky and don't want to chance cross contamination. The service was good, very friendly people throughout. I didn't have any drinks because again, I'm picky. :) read more

Wow, the pizza was amazing huge pie, but somehow still Crispy in the middle very good pizza I didn't love the wings, but they do get great reviews. I just didn't like the style they were cooked. I like them crispy great service. Enjoy it very much. read more

Wayne Ale House & Pizza - Plain slice - Pizza Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

Enjoyed lunch here - very loud atmosphere as it's a sports bar & the TV was blasting away. Very simple menu - a little too simple. We liked the thai chili wings & the pizza's were good but took a very long time to come out. I wish there were more vegetarian options for the pizza like mushrooms & bell peppers. When we got the bill - we split it with another couple as there were 4 of us at the table. We got our checks with an automatic 20% tip added! WTH! What a real turnoff - don't assume our experience is worth a 20% tip! BTW, we were a group of 4; not 6 so not cool. read more

Found a new winner in the area at the site of the former Greenhouse Cafe where I may have had a beer or two back in my college years. Wayne Ale and Pizza just opened so stopped by today for lunch after reading about the chef that opened it. Beautifully redone, bar area top floor with lots of TVs and about 10-12 rotating beers on tap and the selections were great. Apparently downstairs opening soon so large location. Looks like a great place to watch some Sunday football. Menu was simple - ordered the meatballs and fried mooz as an app and a pepperoni personal pie to split. All scratch made and absolutely fantastic. Sauce was great, flavors perfect and nice char on the pie. Server was amazing, fantastic all around experience for a place that's only been open 3 weeks. Will be back for sure! read more

New place In wayne that we were finally able to try . They redo it beautifully. Very modern and a craft beer bar type fell. Really pretty inside especially compared to what it used to look like! The menu is small. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, a garden salad and a large pie with half olives. The salad was very blah mostly a bowl of romaine with a few big not so great chunks of tomato. We asked for the Bleu cheese dressing. BIG disappointment it was cheap gelatinous mayo tasting . It actually had a yellow tint to it . We couldn't eat it and asked for balsamic instead. The sprouts were good could have been a little more crispy but decent taste, would get them again, the pizza was very tasty. We are not big on pizza that isn't thin crust but this was very good, the slices are huge though and I only made it through one slice and my boyfriend did two before we gave up and took the rest home. I think this place is going to be VERY good once it gets its bearings. It's new so there are kinks to work out. One thing I would suggest is better table wear. When you are paying that much for pizza they can do a little better than the cheap white plastic plates and the paper plates. That was a big turn off especially seeing how nice they had redone the place it was like they gave up at the end, the plastic cups for water as well definitely need an upgrade! We will wait a little before we go back but we definitely will give it another try because the pizza was so good read more
