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

I don't write a lot of reviews unless it is well deserved. This place is fantastic. The best damn pizzas I have had in a long time for this kind of I guess NYC + Saint Louis type pizza. I could not stop munching on the airy crispy crust. Their wings, man, they were great. Medium size, crunchy on the outside, nicely cooked. We ordered garlic-parm wings, it was so good, drenched in garlic. I would probably ask them to do that with fries next time as well. I was not a great fan of buffalo sauce I ordered on the side just to taste it, it tasted somewhat generic; maybe it was lacking some butter. Now I am here talking about the condiments, as well - their blue cheese sauce that comes with the wings actually has chunks of blue cheese in it. That was also fantastic; I was licking the container it came on. All of these went so well with the blonde ales I had. Their prices are also right, not cheap, not over priced either. They do not have a wide variety of food or the beer that you have to scour the menu to figure out what you want, but they have exactly enough with fantastic stuff. The service was quick, food came out before my second beer (and I drink pretty quickly). I will certainly be visiting more often now, and I hope they will maintain the service and food quality. read more

I saw a post or a reel that this place opened up & since it was so close to home I had to try it out. Husband & I came here with our two kids to grab dinner after swimming. Place was packed but comfortably enough to sit us with no wait. There were lots of families who had the same idea for dinner with their kids. You want in & there is a nice bar area and then tables to the right and up ahead. We ordered the cheesy garlic knots and meatballs as appetizers. The sauce was perfection - the right amount of garlic and fresh tomatoes. My 4 year old devoured the knots & the 1 year old couldnt eat the meatball fast enough. I wasn't able to get pictures fast enough. We ordered a 24" pie with black olives & pepperoni as toppings - the crust was nice & thin and the pizza was delicious. They have a full bar & cocktails too. Highly recommend this new spot & I plan on coming back here soon!! read more

This is just my opinion about the bar area: Not a good experience. I was hoping for a nice evening with my friends, instead what we experienced was neglect. We were disappointed with our bartender. It appeared that she was there to socialize with her friends which took her attention away from the other patrons who were looking to be served. Oh well. read more

No complaints, it's a cute spot and the food was good! The waitress and hosts were nice. read more

The quality of food here is not good at all. Food taste like it was frozen and thrown in the microwave.

The pizza is amazing. The wings are unbelievably good. However, the water taste like the back end of a skunk. Hold on a second, that's insulting the skunks. read more

well that was a one and done. service was almost non existent, was there 2 1/2 hours and could only get service enough for 2 beers with our meals, which by the way, dont insult me by charging .50 cents for a side of honey mustard, maybe if someone asks for an excessive amount but 1 with our fries.i didnt use ketchup so youre still up .50 cents. to me thats a slap in the face. and a bad way to run a business by nickel and diming guests. read more

Very good pizza and apps. But the atmosphere is waaaaay too loud. We had to scream to hear each other at a small table. I walked out of here with a major headache. It's a shame good food but I won't be returning because of the atmosphere. Open the downstairs and make it a club, if that's the vibe you're going for. I read more

The staff was friendly and tried but the timing was way off. The appetizers and the entrees all came out at the same time. Bread on the sandwiches was stale and the food was just mediocre at best. Bar seemed to be buzzing, but the restaurant was pretty empty. Need higher kitchen standards to improve restaurant customer experience. read more

Glad we found the Wayne Ale House. We were in the area for a hockey tournament. Location is less than 10 minutes from the rink. Pizza was excellent and they have a good selection of beers, apps and other items on the menu. Lots of large tvs for sports. Place is very casual and they have a couple large rooms that would be good for larger parties. Did I mention the pizza? Yeah, it's really great. read more

Fantastic service ...informative and caring Everything on the menu is fantastic For a bar pub type place Pizza is an 8 Meatballs 9 Beer selection 7.5 Wings 8 Awesome place!! read more

Good LARGE pizza and friendly service. Nice thin crust slices that are huge. Also had the meatballs and wings which were good as well. The only drawback is that all the food came out luke warm/coldish and I prefer my food piping hot. I'd definitely go back but would make sure the server brings things out as soon as ready. read more

The reviews for this place don't do it justice. The pizza is exceptional and the beer list is solid. It's a pizza and ale house and they do both of these things exceptionally well. We've been twice now and I look forward to going back. I would drive to the end of the earth for a good pie and I'm happy to say I no longer have to leave town. read more

If I could say one statement it would be it's in the works . As expected with a new restaurant there are things that need to be ironed out . We are grateful they could take a larger party and it was great to see how busy it was with just recently opening. The ambiance was great. Beer menu was interesting, but confusing once we reached the online menu. Pizza great ! Loved the super size pizza and the 24" def was a surprise.the mozz was ok and pub fries were great. Wings need some work , there's something missing. The meatballs sizes vs price doesn't equate again felt like something was missing. The chicken fingers were past well done almost burnt , but those we could taste were good. The service needs help, every part of it felt chaotic , from seating us , taking our order and when the food was brought to us , we had multiple people that brought something wrong or confused about what flavors the items were . Its tough to have a large party be by yourself and with all the noise of the atmosphere. the waitress looked nervous and to top it off at the end when we went to pay we provided cash and a card , the card was charged and the cash was sent back to us. When we asked why they stated they were confused. Our suggestion please ask next time. Training needs to improve on every angle. But I look forward to seeing it grow. read more

Place is great! Large bar safes with plenty of seats and high tops as well. Plenty of large screen TVs for Sunday fundays. The bartenders were great. The food was pretty good and they do a bogo on sundays on their personal pies of buy 1 get 1 (only pay for toppings) - definitely a steal. Would definitely recommend and return. read more

Great place to eat, hang out and meet people! The pizza is out of this world and the drinks are amazing!

We had the pepperoni pizza and it was delicious also ordered the cheesy garlic knots so good as were the fired mootz sticks. We sat at the bar and the service was great always asked us if we were good and if we needed anything else. We went on a friday night and the live entertainment was amazing too. Really no complaints overall great place to eat and have a good time. We will go back. read more

We were visiting from Maryland. The pizza was great, the staff was friendly and it was a great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

We decided to try the Wayne Ale House and see what it was like. First let me start with we will go back to try the pizza which we did not try. We started with the chicken wing appetizer and they were the standout of the night. Done well and brought out blue cheese for me and ranch for my wife. We did not feel like pizza so looked at the menu. It is a very limited menu. My wife had the smash burger which can only be e done one way so you cannot order medium rare but that was not an issue. But she felt there was nothing special about the burger and good have used a little more of the sauce. I had the very unique steak sandwich which includes having the French fries in it. Once again was done one way. It is a unique sandwich but tends to be a bit dry and had to add ketchup to it. I always deduct 1/2 a star for restaurants who charge different prices for cash and credit so without that they are close to a 4 star. They have a very extensive beer menu and a large selection of draft beers. We will go back and try the pizza which looked good but the non pizza menu was not our favorite, but if the rest of the appetizers are as good as the wings we look forward to trying them. read more

Good giant pizza. Good chicken parm sandwich on pizza style bread. Best crust around on the pizza !

Was back in town last week and hungry, only one place to go. Same excellent food and experience, Wayne Ale House really is fantastic. Wish we lived closer. read more

I must say I was completely surprised at how good the pizza was since Wayne has an abundance of pizza shops. The service was excellent,drinks from bar came quickly and our pizza came out quickly. Considering how busy they were on a Saturday night we were very surprised. Our waitress was excellent but forgot her name. Otherwise we will definitely be back to enjoy the ambiance,food and music read more

bar tables for 2 were very small considering how big some of their pizzas could be. the 24" was ginormous! it looked so good but i opted for my own personal. i think it looks better than it tastes. sauce wasn't to my liking for a pizza. service was decent, our waitress was nice but it did get busy later on in the night. read more

Wayne Ale House & Pizza - pizza breaded chicken onion - Pizza Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

I ordered takeout. I received a message 15 earlier than the pick up window time that our order was ready. So we drove there. By the time we got back home, the food was cold and inedible. We had to throw out the $50 worth of mozz stick, chicken fingers & meatball parm. Very disappointing. We wanted to love this place--but it's a no if they can't keep the good hot for pick up orders. read more

Have had takeout a few times from here and the food is excellent. The pizza is really good and it's great it's a smaller menu so everything is quality. Lots of tvs and nice big windows definitely will be a great place for football season and for any sports. All of the staff are very friendly and attentive. Definitely worth a try for anyone in Wayne and it's nice to have another local restaurant. Only downside is they use peanut oil in their cooking so for anyone with allergies you will have to stay away. read more

Great service, nice ambiance, typical bar pie style pizza, with a nice bar. Would get 5 stars if the pizza was alittle less crunchy, but that's just my preference read more

Immediately one of our favorite pizzas in the area. Great dough and sauce and perfect ratio of sauce-to-cheese. The service was friendly and quick. Just expect to wait for a table as they don't take reservations. read more

Went there on a Saturday morning, first table in the door. Total of 8 in the party, 4 adults and 4 kids. Ordered a few drinks based on QR code they said to scan as they just updated the drafts. Waiter came back after a few and advised the beer I ordered ran out. Kind of disappointing since they said it was JUST updated. Ordered another beer that I saw was on draft when I walked in, no issues with that one. Ordered a few apps and 2 pies for table. The Brussels sprouts was baked, not fried with very light seasoning. My daughter who usually will have some did not like them at all, too mushy and not enough flavour. Chicken tenders for the kids came out, which was flattened chicken breasted, lightly coated and fried with some seasoning so was not the generic frozen tenders they pull from a bag and toss in the fryer. Fries could have been a little more cooked as most were all greasy and not crispy. Loaded fries looked decent but I did not try. Our other friend ordered a garden salad for his main and that was very disappointing to him. I know this is a pizzeria and not a full fare American restaurant but when you order a garden salad that does not mean just romaine, half a red onion and croutons. He made a joke that they must have made a mistake and gave him someone else's burger toppings as a salad. Seriously could have just put some carrots, cucumbers or even a tomato in there. One of our party ordered a calzone and it looked like a flattened panini and a clumped mess of cheese. The pizzas came out and we did order one of the 24 inches so that was a healthy portion and also very good. The crust was thin, crispy and nicely cooked. So the main dish of the restaurant was good but they definitely need to rethink alot of the decisions with the "restaurant" Also what they provided as table wear was paper takeout container for the salad and paper plates for everything else, but regular forks and knives, giving off conflicting impressions. Is this supposed to be a nice sit down restaurant or take out pizzeria. It feels like they spent more time on the decor to make it instagram friendly than the actual thought of the food. They should also consider turning down the music for a Saturday lunch service as there really is no need for music to be that loud when most of your tables are probably going to be families with kids. Overall we love to try to support our small local businesses but with so many pizzerias in town there's really nothing that stand out except they have a 24 inch pie and a very impractical big slice pie. Probably will not be back. read more

Everyone will comment on the pizza...I really enjoyed the old bay wings and cheesy garlic knots. The meatball app is juicy with a tasty addition to any entree. The staff is friendly and engaging with attentive service! The games can be enjoyed with multiple TVs on at every sight line. The welcoming environment with high ceilings and comfortable ambiance. read more

let me start by saying I have frequented here often as I like to give to local businesses in my town. Tonight we were taking my sons girlfriend-from out of town out with us with 3 other families. our kids range from 23-25... all legal. group of 12. the bartender embarrasses us all by saying her id is fake, which is not.. she is 24 . I say can we speak to a manager or owner .. i get someone and assure him we are all family her id is real and here are several other forms of id with her information. They still accuse us of the id being fake. The owner didn't have the decency to even come talk to us.. as we go to now leave because we are all embarrassed as the bar staff was all pointing at us assuming her id was fake , I was furious and found the owner upstairs on my way out.. I explained to him what happened and what freaking parent would come in with 3 other families and ask for a scanner or to speak with an owner if the id is fake. What parent would do that? What parent try to get underage kids served?? I'm not that parent!!! He then says ... how can I fix this... sorry too late.. i asked to speak to you 3 times and I was blown off.. I am 55 years old, frequently eat here and that's how you treated my family?? I would have understood if the kids were alone.. I get it.. but 6 adults ranging from 55-65 and all the kids23-25.. So embarrassing. so.. you lost the business of 12 people tonight and my regular patronage. Not the best move for local businesses to treat their local customers like that. Shame on the bartender.. the manager and the owner.. read the room.. know what your doing and treat people and your customers with respect . read more
