    We had to return to try a plain slice. It's perfectly thin, perfectly sauced, and perfectly cheesed. It's everything.

    Had a great family dinner here on Saturday. Staff was very accommodating for our party of 15. We had our own room. Staff were friendly and food was very good. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal and all the orders were correct. A nice restaurant in the area for parties and good food!

    My wife and I love the food here and they have amazing desserts. BUT she just stopped in to pick up a few desserts. They are a kind of custard / meringue 1 was lemon 1 was strawberry. She got home with them and noticed the strawberry on top of the one dessert is COVERED in MOLD!!!! She immediately took it back!! Sadly I had already eaten some of the lemon one so I throw it away!! They should date the containers and get rid of them after a few days. This was the most disgusting thing I have gotten from a restaurant in a very long time!! They gave us our $7 backs. Wow thanks. Will NOT be going back anytime soon!!! Update The next afternoon my daughter was going to finish eating the salad she got the day before. After eating for a few minutes she bit into a small piece of wire with a connecter on the end. Check out the pictures o posted. I can't believe we had TWO incidents within 1 order!!

    Chicken and shrimp picatto

    We were very disappointed with the food. It even smelled bad and the taste was was a big no flavor bad smell and meat tasted boiled zero flavor no salt or pepper but the waiter alex was great .... Never again! Oh I forgot to mention the singer "John" had a great voice and looked nice and a good mix of music

    Pretty darn good! Been nearby for over three years and wanted to try other places. I've driven by BA many times. Didn't look like much. But the Shore Savings mag had an advert that looked interesting. We didn't order any coupon specials but still wanted to give it a go. I ordered the penne with broccoli rabe and sausage. Add shrimp. It was a good portion with sausage and garlic filling it out. The "add shrimp" was a bit of a disappointment as add shrimp means ONE shrimp. The $1.50 up charge should have been my flag. Overall, very good. The Mrs got Chicken parm sandwiche. She always does. It was also very good and priced well. The rice ball with ricotta was excellent! Huge portion, easily shareable. We will try the pies next.

    Disappointed. We ordered a grandma pie and a chopped salad. The salad was excellent! The grandma pie was over cooked and cardboard.

    Just got a chicken cutlet sub. Horrible. The chicken is so hard and tough it's inedible. Very disappointing. No way Italians own this place.

    I have been to Slice House Toms River several times. I really like it. This pizzeria on 37 has…read moreenough room for casual eat in after counter ordering. SH does a large takeout and delivery business as well as the store ordering. Parking is easy out front. The place is clean and service is good. It is a bustling place at times with young people running the front. The pizzeria boasts many, many selections of by the slice as well as a menu of pies to order whole. Lots of add ins and drinks both bottled and fountain style. The pizza is tasty. It is served hot. I especially like a cheese pie but found their specialty pies like the cheesesteak & chicken parm pizza delicious also. The cheesesteak in particular tastes like a breakfast pizza due to its cheese, cheesesteak that is seasoned like sausage and it's white cheese sans sauce. It would be over the top great with sautéed onions, mushrooms and green peppers on it. The chicken parm with red sauce and chunks of chicken with yummy cheese is also tasty. They have salads, Stromboli, sandwiches, garlic knots etc to add on. I really like the entree Caesar salad. The dressing is good and the lettuce is fresh. It comes with toasty bread. I will continue to frequent this quintessential Toms River pizzeria as it checks all the boxes

Plain slice is meh BUT the Sicilian is delicious and the hot honey pepperoni is no joke, deliciously hot! Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their wide selection of slices.

    We went to STR PIZZA today for our first time. Do you know when you discover something or someplace…read moreand it's so off the charts great that you can't wait to share it? Well, that's how I feel about STR PIZZA! ~I don't own it, I don't know the owners...my friend and I hear they are new Italian/Pizza restaurant and that they are having a special this week of $1.25/slice...so off we went to have lunch there today. Wow! I have owned restaurants in New York City, and I'm telling you that every single thing about this restaurant is excellent. For the minute we walked in we were greeted so warmly and comfortably at the door. We were given menus and sat down to go over what we wanted to have. We each got two slices, I also got the eggplant Parmesan platter, and my friend got the chicken Caesar salad. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, large selection of beverages, all the classic Italian favorites plus some really cool menu items like Big Mac pizza and the General Tso's chicken pizza. Every little detail is done right...the way young woman at the front counter brought us our flatware wrapped up so nicely and was so friendly and helpful and warm she made us feel completely at home. The plates and bowls are really beautiful...and the food? Omg! The pizza is absolutely delicious! Eggplant Parm platter came with my choice of pasta (I chose angel hair) and a large delicious salad...the platter is so yummy and big and fresh and just loaded with cheese and delicious sauce! Same with my friends Cesar Chicken salad. My friend couldn't believe I ate the whole platter of the eggplant Parm, but it was so delicious. There was no way I was not gonna finish it! On one side, they have a big party room where you can help family events, school events, and parties. Even the bathrooms are classy! On the other side they have a really sweet singing room which happens to be decorated for Valentines Day! So sweet! Its an amazing place! We can't wait to go back. Take my advice, you're gonna LOVE it!

    If you're anywhere near South Toms River and haven't tried STR Pizza, you're seriously missing out…read more I stopped by on a busy Saturday night to pick up an order, and let me tell you--this place is doing things RIGHT. I ordered the Grandpa Pie (house-made vodka sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil - $26), and it was absolutely to die for. This is hands down the only spot in the area that's clearly using real, fresh ingredients instead of cutting corners. You can taste the difference in every bite. The vodka sauce had that perfect rich, velvety flavor, the mozzarella was fresh and creamy, and the basil brought everything together. And the crust? Textbook perfect--crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside. It's the kind of pie that makes you stop mid-bite and appreciate life for a second. My girlfriend ordered the Veal Marsala dinner ($24.95). It comes with a side salad and a little bit of bread. The veal itself was cooked well--tender and not overdone--but the flavor was a little on the mild side. It felt like it needed a touch more salt or an extra layer of seasoning to really make it pop. Still enjoyable, just not a standout the way the pizza was. The place was clean, the staff was friendly, and you could tell they were hustling--super busy night, yet everyone kept a great attitude. I can't personally speak on delivery since I picked up, but while waiting I chatted with a couple of regulars who said the delivery is always quick. Overall, STR Pizza earned every bit of this 5-star review. The quality, the atmosphere, the service--everything shows they take pride in their food. I'll definitely be back, and that Grandpa Pie just made its way into my top favorites in Ocean County.
