12" Chicago Deep Dish Pizza
Kenya M.

Great service. Very nice fellow behind the counter. The buffalo chicken pizza was not great. But also, what do you expect? This slice of pepperoni was awesome. And the Chicago was good. Would return.

Stopped here again. Never a complaint. Hot and fresh all the time. You do get a lot of food for your money. Miss the arcade they use to have & jukebox.

This place really went downhill used to be really really good. Got a sandwich today. It barely had anything on it. Other than lettuce soggy brown lettuce asked for mayo no mayo on it. Very dry. Won't be coming here anymore.

I'm very snobbish about my pizza so I tend to be tough on pizza places. I happened to be out and about today and I needed a quick bite for lunch so I stopped in at Boardwalk Pizza. I was greeted nicely by the young lady working the counter as I looked over the pizza. I decided on a plain slice (which was very large) and a slice of their Chicago style. Now, full-disclosure, I don't generally like Chicago-style pizza, but this was fantastic. The large plain slice tasted very good, but I would have liked a little more sauce and I wish it was a little crispier. Overall, I was a big fan. The Chicago-style has some big flavor and a great crispiness and wasn't a thick as a normal Chicago-style pie...and I liked that. I would happily come back. The plain NY-style was good, but might be better if I got a whole pie.

New pizza place for me!

I stopped here for lunch today and was kind of disappointed. So many Yelp reviews showed this amazing looking deep dish pizza, but apparently they only make it on certain days. I went with a slice of white, which was ok. So many pizzerias in NJ, one really needs to stand out to make an impression, and this one just didn't for me today.

What's left of a huge delicious Sicilian Plain 18" Pie

Honestly, this might be the best pizza in NJ. Definitely the best in Essex County. The food is constantly great and the portions are generous. My only complaint is that they removed their arcade during Covid and never brought it back.

Gluten-Free pizza description from their website
Allie A.

*2.5 stars* I was looking forward to ordering from here due to all the great reviews, but I was let down tonight :( I ordered a deep dish pie, a gluten free pie, and a side of fries with cheese sauce on the side for take out. When I got home I realized the deep dish leaked all over my car seat, and when I looked at the pie it was COVERED in oil. Not a good first impression. The pie was very soggy (a little sogginess is to be expected from a deep dish pie, I get that) but this was extra soggy and didn't have much flavor. My mom had the gluten free pie and said it was very disappointing, the crust was cracker thin and crumbling. The way they describe the pizza on the website gave us high hopes but no luck. The fries were packaged in styrofoam so they were soggy and wet by the time I got home. Customer service was nice so that's one plus. Maybe I just ordered wrong.. the regular pies look so good. Not sure if I'd return but if I do I would try a regular pie.

My second time ordering here and I am upset because my pizza yet again is black and burnt, I order this personal pan pizza to go I should have checked it before leaving the place . I don't think I will order here again .

Ended up trying Boardwalk Pizza with a dinner Groupon, then ordering two of their gigantic pies for a lunch social event. Both experiences--great. Nice pizza. Had the Boom Boom chicken for dinner. Different. Delicious. A work of saucy art! Ordered two of their giant boardwalk pies for delivery for a lunch event for 16. (I made my own salad.). Delivered on time, and everyone oohed over biggest pizza ever. And tasty. I am a new fan.

ACHILLES would be proud!  awesome greek salad (radishes were a nice touch as was the house made lemon vinaigrette)

The sweet older man from the place actually brought the pizza out to the car "so it doesn't get…read morecold". Don't order and then leave to wander around outside like I did because 6 minutes means 6 minutes. Good salty mozz, chewy thin crust. And he's right, you need to eat it hot. The rest of the pizza was not so great cold and reheated, those thin slices are a joy of the moment thing not to be revisited. But on the upside, I view the thin slices as really like eating half a standard regular slice, so go for as many as you can manage. This is one of the Jersey greats that is rarely mentioned, try it out.

Hmmmm, I had such high expectations for this place but will have to keep searching for my 'go to'…read moreItalian restaurant in the area. The place was clean and service was excellent. But honestly, I came here for 1 thing, and 1 thing only: Chicken Parm. The Chicken Parm was a nice portion, cooked perfectly, tasty sauce and the cheese melted perfectly. Its appearance was picturesque, and I did take a picture of it. Now my complaint, the piece of chicken was really flat, thin and incredibly dense/tough. My perfect chicken in a Parm is thicker and delicate, almost airy. This was not, and for $28, I will not be back! Then $5 for a fountain drink and $5 for a plain simple salad globbed with Caesar dressing, VERY POSSIBLY store bought, sad! The side of pasta is in my attached picture but really not worth mentioning as it was that forgettable! So I'm still in search for my 'go to' chicken parm place for that area! Suggestions appreciated!!!

The restaurant was packed when we arrived, with both indoor and outdoor dining, but they were expecting us for our reservation and seated us right away. The front-of-house staff was warm, friendly and even remembered my husband from when he called to make the reservation. The food was the standout. I ordered the short rib, which arrived with quite the presentation, a huge bone topped with incredibly tender, shaved short rib and mixed vegetables. It was delicious and the portion was enormous. I shared some with my husband at dinner, took the rest home, and we still managed to turn the leftovers into an omelet a couple of days later! My husband ordered the double-thick pork chop and loved it. We also shared the fried shrimp and calamari appetizer, and both the marinara and aioli were excellent. One small area for improvement would be helping the younger waitstaff become a little more comfortable guiding guests through the menu. When we asked for recommendations and what dishes the restaurant was especially known for, it took a little prompting before we got to Parmigiano. Our server was perfectly nice. It just would have elevated the experience to have someone confidently say, "This is what we do exceptionally well, and here's what I recommend." Overall, though, we had exactly the kind of evening we needed. We brought a bottle of wine, relaxed, talked, enjoyed the atmosphere and genuinely felt like we had gotten away for a while. Our bill came in at the $100 range, and we left completely satisfied. Great food, generous portions, a welcoming atmosphere and excellent value. We'll absolutely return.

I had a Thursday dinner reservation that I eventually needed to cancel and remake for a lunch reservation. Didn't love that I had to go for lunch but oh well. Our reservation was for Noon which meant that they were just opening up for the day and boy were they busy! There were a ton of people coming in for lunch. Getting situated and to our table took a few because of the overwhelming amount of reservations. I booked our table in the Lounge area rather than the dining room and glad I did as it seems to be more festive! Food-wise we ate the Pollo Parm Pizza and the Hot Calamari. Both were good but nothing spectacular. We ordered festive drinks which were $18 each -- a little high but I get it. We skipped on dessert and got dessert drinks instead - I had the Tiramisu Martini which was delightful!
