Michael waited on our table and he was great . They serve their homemade sourdough with butter which is addictive. You can buy their bread at the restaurant. We tried a few different things from their menu Strozzapreti- cavatelli with broccoli rabe sausage - very tasty Grandmas pie - simply delicious Minestrone soup - what it's supposed to be like Butterscotch Budino - creamy pudding with chocolate ganache n sea salt - creamy satisfying Loud grand dining area with a bar in the center seating at two levels lots of natural light by h the day and dim lit night vibe with loud music drinks quick service and great food makes this the perfect vibe to spend a lazy evening in an electric atmosphere read more

We were in Metuchen last week for a street fair and saw this place when leaving, so we decided to give it a try tonight. First, it is VERY loud in the restaurant, hard to have a conversation without talking very loud. While the service people were very nice, the service was so - so. They took about 20 minutes to come over, we ordered cocktails and an pasta as an appetizer. It took about 20 mins for them to bring bread after we ordered. Then the cocktails and app came out immediately after. Cocktails are meant to be enjoyed before your dinner, not during it. While the cocktail was fine, I wasn't interest in having it at this point. I had a couple of sips. The bread they brought out was fantastic. One of the best breads ever. The pasta was amazing. I really enjoyed it. We had the buccatini with guaclian (sp?). So I really looking forward to the Pizza. We put in the order for our pizza, went to the men's room and when I came back the pizza was on our table. Very strange it was so fast in less than 5 minutes. I am sorry to say the pizza was horrible. Soggy crust and dry pizza, not sure how that is even possible. Crust and pizza in general had no taste. I had this strange feeling the pizza might be premade and maybe they just add the topping for your order I don't know. Overall, it was very much a tale of 2 cities. Iffy service and horrid pizza. Yet great bread and pasta. read more

Amazing quality and my favorite part was the complimentary fresh bread and butter. The service is very attentive and friendly. The interior space is open concept. They nailed the fermented thin crust pizza. The kids pizza is very plentiful. Reservations recommended. read more

We all went to celebrate a birthday here. A two-storied restaurant in downtown Metuchen. We all sat upstairs where large tables are set up for groups such as this. Though pizza is the main draw, check out the menu for other types of fare. The place is set up nicely and Steve, our head-server did his best to accommodate all 12 of us. Food was delicious, but too many entrees to discuss here. Tips are included with 7 or more in a group. read more

Very excited about my visit here while staying in Woodbridge at the Residence Inn. Arrived just past happy hour (darn!) which ended at 5pm. Impressive discounts on food and beverages....next time! It wasn't busy so I was quickly seated. Fresh house made sourdough bread was delivered and delicious. The red sangria was a yummy blend and was a nice touch with my vegan pie. I ordered the pizza sans cheese and really enjoyed the eggplant, garlic, basil toppings. The house salad was a nice size and the fried onion topping added a flavorful crunch. I didn't care for the dressing though. Service was prompt and friendly, my water glass was never empty. Deducted a star as my cocktail, salad , and pizza all arrived at the same time which is a pet peeve. The server took the salad back but it was not refrigerated so she redelivery a room temp salad, blah. Sweet server just needs more training on timing. Or maybe that is the norm there. Next time, I will order 1 step at a time to avoid that issue. Private parking with an upper and lower area which was a bit confusing, will know for my next visit. Bread was so good that I purchased a loaf to bring home for my hubby in Atlanta! read more

Love their pizzas especially the peppa pig. They also have some great drinks and a great happy hour. Only downside is the happy hour is T-F 3-5 so it's tough to make it. They should at least go til 6! Fave drinks are the white sangria and the spicy blood orange margarita. It's a pretty big space with upstairs seating. Kids get crayons and a coloring sheet so that's always helpful if you have little ones that need to stay entertained. Their house made bread is so simple but so good! I could keep eating it especially bc it comes out hot. Also, their pastas are good too!! You can't really go wrong. read more

Woodstack Pizza in Metuchen is a great spot with a cozy, welcoming vibe. We tried the Prosciutto pizza and the Peppa Pig, and both were delicious with a nice crispy crust and well-balanced flavors. The Peppa Pig is a fun take on a meat lovers pizza and loaded with soppressata, pepperoni, sausage, and bacon marmalade, with peppadew peppers adding a nice pop. The prosciutto pizza felt lighter and really fresh with arugula on top. Both had great topping-to-crust ratios. It's a bit on the pricier side for what you get, but overall a really solid stop and we will likely come back. read more

This restaurant came highly recommended by a great friend, so when I was thinking of a place to take my amazing daughter for her birthday, this was my first choice and I'm happy to report it did not disappoint. Service was tied with the food for first place! Starting with the friendly and helpful hostess, every single employee offered a greeting and a smile. Our server was Elijah, he was wonderful! Warm, friendly and professional. He was attentive and perceptive. He didn't hover but anytime we needed he re-appeared. We were greeted by two out of the three managers, 10 out of 10. Now for the food! We ordered the rice balls, maple wings a Pepper pig pizza and for my cocktail I had the blue Hawaiian. Every thing was delicious hot and freshly made. The outside and inside are visually appealing. I would describe it as modern meets industrial with a nice dose or rustic, very nice. read more

My husband brought me here for Valentine's Day, and I'm absolutely obsessed! The restaurant has a parking lot and plenty of seating, which made everything so convenient. Their menu is full of must try dishes, and everything we had was incredible. It felt like each item outdid the last. My husband really nailed it picking this place! We started with fresh bread and butter, which won my heart immediately, because not many places do this anymore. We also enjoyed a bottle of white wine. For appetizers, we had the maple chili chicken wings, wow, just wow! and the burrata, which was amazing. For entrees, we shared the Tártufo pizza, which was excellent, and the pappardelle bolognese, my absolute favorite! Everything was perfection. I can't wait to go back! read more

Had such a good time here! Went for happy hour with a friend and we were pleasantly surprised at how gorgeous the restaurant itself was. We sat upstairs and got a nice view and then ordered two pizzas (happy hour deals are great). They make all their bread in house and all their food is customizable and dietary restrictions friendly. I ordered a grandma pizza and my friend got the pizza barese. Mine was great, I finished the whole thing and my friend liked hers although found the broccoli Rabe a bit too bitter for her I also wanted to highlight how amazing the staff was - as we were leaving my friend forgot her leftovers on the table and we only realized when we reached the parking lot. When we went back, the table was cleared already but management offered to remake the entire pizza which we really appreciated! Overall had a great experience and will definitely be back read more

Often bristling with a lot of people, this restaurant is a solid find in the heart of Metuchen. It's pretty close to a major mall and great to use as a spot for getting a bite to get away from the mall crowds. This place can get quite busy fast so it's important to make reservations on sites like Resy. Food is consistently delicious and I would highly recommend their appetizers especially the honey glazed brussels sprouts and Caesar kale salad mixed with roma tomatoes that come with an extra punch. Their best bar drink is a spicy cucumber margarita which consistently hammers home a kick that stays on your pallet for long. Their pizza is delicious - thin crust and the Buratta pizza, especially, comes stacked with a big bowl of Buratta cheese. The ambiance is lively and fun with both an upstairs and downstairs! read more

I want to start off by saying that I love the aesthetics of this restaurant. It gives a cozy and a warm feeling. This restaurant is the perfect place to catch up with your girls and be casual but still want to look cute. I can also see it being a perfect spot for happy hour after work. It had a nice bar area where you could sit and watch the games playing on tv. It is a super spacious restaurant and it is nice inside. The service was fantastic from the hostess and our waiter was great. That alone definitely makes me want to go back. All the staff were super friendly which I can appreciate. As for the food, it was pretty good. I will say that the menu isn't super big which is good because sometimes big menus can be overwhelming. All the dishes we ate were delicious and enjoyable. I definitely recommend the maple wings as an appetizer and we also got the grandma pizza for the table. For my meal I got the Bibb Salad and it was super refreshing so I also recommend that as well. Overall, if I get the chance, I definitely would return to Wood stack. read more

First time eating at Wood Stack and it was a great experience! The restaurant itself is beautifully arranged and lets in a lot of natural light. We made brunch reservation on a Saturday just in case it got busy. I was really excited to try their pizza as not many places have prosciutto pies. Both pies we ordered were as delicious as they looked. Very different from your local italian restaurants but in a good way. The pizzas reminded me of some great places in Brooklyn that serve thinner crust style^^ Service was also fantastic and servers and managers often made their rounds! Will definitely be coming back again. read more

Absolutely loved this place! It's huge and has a great area of large parities. We were a group of 4 and had enough space and time to enjoy all the delicious food and company. We ordered 3 types of pizza to share. The margarita, grandma and chorizo pizza. All of them were delicious with a perfect thin crust. We also ordered the crispy Brussels sprouts which IS A MUST! You must order these!! We also ordered a side of friend and the maple bourbon wings and those were so good too. read more

Stopped by on a Friday at 5:30 with a party of five. The staff was friendly and accommodating overall, giving us time to figure out what we wanted to order. The main dining room has a center bar area a two store high ceiling and modern looking. It has a great feel to it. The table at which we were seated was a bit small for five, and the chairs were a bit uncomfortable. We did a round of cocktails and they were on the sweeter side from what we were used to - a bit heavy on the simple syrup and they took a bit too long to be delivered to the table after ordering. Switched to beer for the second round of drinks. Ordered some appetizers. The bread itself in each application was fantastic - very rustic and artisan with a nice color from the wood oven. We ordered three pizzas to share and try. They were on the small side for the price, and were (especially compared to the bread) a bit underwhelming. The pizza crust was good, sauce and toppings meh. By the time the pizza came out, the service dropped off and our server was absent for long periods of time. It got busier I guess? Not bad overall but not great. They do appear to have good happy hour deals price-wise weekdays between 3pm and 6pm. Have to give that a try sometime. read more

Hello New Jersey . In town on business and was looking for a tasty Margherita pizza. I always look on Yelp at the pictures of the pizza because I do not like slices of tomato on my Margherita pizza. I ordered from Wood Stack and was very pleased with the flavors or the sauce, the texture of the crust ( thin and crisp) and the balance of mozzarella. Service with a smile , order was ready on time quoted, and ample parking. read more

Love love love Wood Stack!! I select to come share the restaurant with my sister. She's never been and was super surprised how beautiful it was inside. Upstairs was being stage for a party.

Super polite,soft spoken, very thoughtful with menu suggestions, our drinks were just coming!! He check on us constantly. We loved the attention. Wishing him the best on his next journey!

My family and I have been coming to Wood Stack Pizza Oven in Metuchen for years, and we've always enjoyed the food. That's why our experience last weekend was so disappointing. My brother ordered the Norma Rigatoni and bit into what appeared to be a rock measuring at least 3 mm. He was genuinely concerned that he may have chipped his tooth. We politely brought it to the manager's attention, who took it back to the chef. We were then told it was "charcoal." Regardless of what it was, it was a hard, inedible object that had no place in the pasta and posed a real risk of dental injury or even gastrointestinal harm if swallowed. At that point, my brother no longer felt comfortable eating the dish, and approximately two-thirds of the pasta remained untouched because he was worried there could be additional hard fragments in it. What was most disappointing was the response. When we asked for the check, the pasta was still included on the bill. As a physician, I understand that mistakes happen in any restaurant, and I don't expect perfection. However, when a customer finds an inedible object in their food that could have caused injury, I would expect the situation to be handled with greater concern and better customer service. We were not looking for free food--we simply expected the issue to be acknowledged appropriately. Unfortunately, the lack of accountability and customer care left a bad taste in our mouths. Because of how this situation was handled, we will not be returning. I would also encourage others to inspect their food carefully if they dine here, regardless of whether these hard objects are considered "charcoal" or something else. read more

I would never return. The service was terrible from start to finish. They brought out the appetizers and entrées at the same time, leaving our table completely overcrowded with plates. To make matters worse, a server took away one of the pizza trays while my dad was still actively eating from it--I'm not exaggerating. It was only 9:04 PM, and we were simply finishing our meal before leaving. On top of that, I ordered the Bucatini, and it was severely overcooked. My mom ordered another pasta that also wasn't good. Overall, a very disappointing dining experience with poor service and subpar food. read more

This is a great find! 5 stars is perfection to me, so we're closer to a 4, but I was still impressed and would come back! Came here on a Friday evening, with a reservation, and I loved the energy as soon as I walked in. Very high ceilings, lively bar in the middle of the room, spacious, etc. We were immediately seated and Vanessa was our server. She was extremely pleasant and efficient. Food and drinks came out in perfect timing. Extensive cocktail and food options... We started off with the crostini sampler app and meatballs with ricotta and marinara. Both was solid. I just felt that some of the crostini toppings were a little salty. The bread (sourdough, I believe) was delicious! Warm and freshly baked. Yum. For our main entree, we both settled on the half portion of gnocchi which was some of the best that I've tasted! Side kale salad which was tasty as well. For cocktails, I wasn't impressed with the red sangria... but the elderflower spritz was amazing. I loved my cutesty chocolate chip cookies with milk dessert. Can't wait to return, especially knowing that they serve brunch! read more

A larger establishment for Metuchen, Wood Stack has a good amount of seating without feeling cramped (I still highly recommend a reservation, especially on the weekend). It has an outdoorsy upscale vibe, like eating at a restaurant in a posh town located in the mountains. The bread and pasta are made onsite and you can definitely tell, it's fresh, doughy, and the pasta is perfectly toothsome. I've been here a few times and I love the Rigatoni Norma and recently tried the Strozzpreti which was divine. I also enjoy their kale salad, and this past visit we had the rice balls to share which were the perfect size for an appetizer and full of flavor and texture. The service is always friendly and the waitstaff has always been attentive anytime I've been here. read more

Wood stack is a large restaurant to enjoy pizza, beer, or pasta. Service was decent and the food was good. The bolognese I had did not have a lot of meat but did not impact the taste of the dish. The grandma pizza was not my favorite but the peppa pig was good. I would come here again and try different items. It's a good spot but in the heavily populated pizza state I wanted a little more flavor. read more

A friend and I came on a Saturday evening for dinner. It was really busy but we were seated promptly. We sat at the upstairs level. Our server was really nice and helpful. For an appetizer we shared the maple chilli wings. They were super fresh and steaming when we got them. I loved the flavor of the sauce. It was cooked really well. For my entree, I got the peppa pig pizza. Its essentially an elevated meat lover's pizza. The bacon marmalade gives it a nice subtle sweetness that cuts the saltiness of the different meat toppings. We also got a white sangria pitcher which gives you 2 cocktails per person. It was really good and worth the money. I really liked the food. I'd love to come back and try other menu items. read more

A great location. I've been here maybe 5 times, never realized I didn't review it. Large location with a modern pizza bar style. Great for parties, fast friendly staff, and the food is always good. Since I have twice been here for a party, I have had most of the menu & it's always good. Definitely add this place to your list of stops. It has limited street parking on a side street, & lot parking when you can get it. They're popular, so the lot tends to fill up fast. I came on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch & had to wait for a spot in the lot, & even then got lucky. Grades: Maple Wings- A+ Peppa Pig- A+ read more

Came here for lunch with a friend on a Tuesday! I was kindly seated as I waited for her to show. The waitstaff was very kind and attentive, checking in frequently. The meal started with a serving of bread and butter which was a pleasant suprise. Preceeded to order the: - CHARRED OCTOPUS roasted cauliflower, new potatoes, scallions, chorizo, roasted red pepper sauce - STROZZAPRETI elongated, cavatelli-like pasta, sausage, broccoli rabe, garlic, chili flakes, pecorino romano, evoo Both dishes were absolutely delicious! The octopus was tender and the pasta was cooked to an al dente perfection. This was a great lunch spot and would probably be a great option for dinner! It's pretty spacious and open. Wasn't too busy for a weekday lunch, but I can imagine the place is probably hopping on the weekend/weeknights! For my first visit, this was definitely a high quality meal. Looking forward to trying more of the menu next time! read more

My family and I decided to check out Woodstock Pizza for Sunday night dinner. The restaurant space is huge with lots of room and tall ceilings. It could definitely host a large party with endless options of pizza,entrées, and apps you cannot go wrong with this restaurant. My family started off with the maple chile wing appetizer. The wings were perfectly coated to perfection with sauce and the creamy buffalo cheese dip was the perfect combination. Along with the wings we shared the grandma pizza which came out hot and ready to be devoured. It was so good! For the main dish I got the buttery Bibb salad which was a blast of fresh flavors. My mom got the ribeye which she said was tasty and hit the spot. My dad went with the salmon dinner and said he enjoy it. The service was attentive and very friendly. Overall this spot was a hit and I'll def return. read more
