Ric T.

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.

Chicken Wings Brussel Sprouts
Jason P.

Great spot for pizza! It was a busy night, service was a bit slow but very friendly. The food was delicious, highly recommend the brussel sprouts and chicken wings for the appetizer. Great location, and great vibes. Highly recommend for a date night.

Crostini appetizer

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.

Peppa Pig Pie
Ben W.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

Delicious broccoli rabe and tomatoes on a great pie
Patti C.

Make sure you make reservations as it gets crowded even mid week entry area a bit cramped . . Great wood fire pizza with lots of varieties of toppings. Great artichoke appetizer with a sweet sauce . Fresh bread served which is delicious. Good service and nice atmosphere great flavor, just a bit pricey

Brussel sprouts

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!

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.

Arancini with short rib, crostini with various toppings, stracciatella (delicious)

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.

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.

We ordered a variety of dishes, including the pizza, which was delicious, a fresh grilled chicken salad, and the penne, which ended up being everyone's favorite at the table. The portions are generous, so you'll definitely leave satisfied. I also have to mention the bread basket. One of the breads was topped with an incredible tomato sauce, and I honestly haven't stopped thinking about it. It was so simple, yet so flavorful. I could have eaten an entire basket of just that alone! It's also BYOB and has outdoor seating, which makes it an even better spot for a relaxed meal. We'll definitely be back!

We had the Crispy Calamari and Salsiccia (sausage) as starters. Both starters were very tasty. Calamari was extra crispy. The Sausages were good, covered in the same marinara sauce used for the calamari dipping. We ordered a meat lovers pizza. The pizza was amazing. Crust was nice and crispy and great amount of meat. We had the chicken parm with spaghetti. It was good and the portion was decent. Here is why I had to knock it down a star. I personally had the pasta with bolognese. They use the same sauce as our starters except they were a little heavy on the salt. I couldn't finish the dish because of how salty it was. Other than that, the service was great and owner and staff seem very friendly and always came to check on us.

The staff is very friendly and welcoming, and the place is always clean which makes the experience even better. My favorite is their margherita pizza -- it's perfectly cheesy with just the right amount of sauce. I also love that the crust is thin and holds up nicely with no flop.

Please note that you may like this type of "thin crust". The bottom of the crust felt and tasted like maybe it's over coated with cornmeal; the texture felt gritty crunchy. This would work if anyone prefers this texture. The sauce just tasted like it was freshly ladled over (no oven baked in flavor). The topping left very little space for the crust edge. I am still stuck on how unfamiliar the crust texture was. I am used to thin crust texture from raised bread dough not a corn-meal like feel. Another reviewer was also baffled with the crust. Reheat review: unfortunately, was not convincing to nudge up the rating. From tip to mid way of the slice, the structure was floppy. From mid way to the edge of the slice: structure held up. Flavor was still good, maybe now better tasting bc sauce now tasted baked in because of the re heating. Service was on time.

The dining rooms have a nice amount of space so you don't feel cramped and on top of one another. Very traditional Italian restaurant in looks. There were a few challenges with getting a wrong dish and having an extra dessert on the bill. When the extra item was found on the bill there was a bit of a dispute and back and forth but they fixed it in the end. The wrong dish was a compromise on our party's part, one of our friends accepted the plate even though it was not what she ordered, there was no move to fix it on the restaurant's part. As far as the food, it was not my top Italian choice in the area, especially when factoring in price. I felt the food was not as flavorful as some of the competitors nearby, especially the appetizers.
