If you live on Fischer Blvd it's hard not to go back to charlie's . It tastes good I still think they need to re-name the menu item labeled "margarita pizza" because it just isn't. However I have come back to enjoy their calzones , specialty pizzas like buffalo chicken as well as their plain slices are on point , especially for the area . read more

We live close to Charlie's although we are typically Brooklyn Square ppl. I wandered in to Charlie's a few weeks back when in the mood for a good slice. I ordered a nice thick Sicilian slice and it was really good. Nice airy crust with a good sauce / cheese ratio. Last night we were in the mood for plain, cheese pizza. We didn't feel like driving too far so we went on-line qnd ordered the large pie special w/ 1 topping for $18.99. My wife placed the order with extra cheese. We left the house 10 min later, took the 3 min drive. I jumped out of the car and ran in. The pie was ready. I paid and we went home. Upon opening the box the pizza was beautiful although I wish I would've asked for well-done (my preference). We sprinkled some garlic powder and red pepper and enjoyed the pizza. It was fresh and delicious. And ordering on-line was seamless. Truly a great experience start to finish. read more

Charlie's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Toms River, New Jersey

The pizza and salads are great and I would give 5 stars but I will not be going back after 2/16/25. They were blasting gangster rap music over the speaker system at a very uncomfortable volume. While I was waiting for my order, some of the lyrics I was subjected to hearing were about the rappers big black dick and how he " busts a nut on whores ". In another song, the rapper was talking about shooting up his ops in a drive by shooting one can only assume and kidnapping people. This is Toms River, not the Newark Housing Authority or Bedstuy Brooklyn. This is supposed to be a family place, not a fambly place. Also some of the kids working there were dropping the F bomb like crazy in the back. Maybe they were understaffed and hired some drunken sailors for the day to fill in. I couldn't imagine a father or mother sitting there with their kids having pizza, which is a regular occurrence in that place. Definitely a downgrade, embarrassment and a disappointment. read more

Best Pizza in Ocean County! Very Clean dining area. All employees have exceptional Customer service skills. I always come here when I'm at Beach House. read more

If I could give Charlie's a 0 I would. Let's just say the girl that answers the phone was a tad bit confused on what they offer at the pizzeria or any pizzeria for that matter. Takes order - charges card. Ok. Delivery Driver tells us we needed to pay bc the counter chick didn't give him the cc receipt. Chicken parm- 2 pieces of crazy thin chicken and ziti on the side with no sauce. Chicken Francese - 2 pieces of over grilled chicken (not requested) that was so dry I could use it as fire wood. A disgusting lemon sauce that was thick like pudding. Garlic Bread that was not sliced and stuck to the tinfoil I had to sit and pick it all off the bread. Two salads - 1 dressing. $60+ wasted when we just needed a night off from cooking. Apparently so did Charlie's. I guess it's being run by muppets now ? Back to Linda's for us. read more

The pizza was great and the delivery was on time! We also ordered muscles which were very delicious and plentiful! A definite pizza delivery place we will order from in the future! Very satisfied! read more

This is our local pizza spot so we go there frequently. It's solid and service has always been good for us. They have an online ordering app so it's easy to order and pick up. Masks required to enter. In addition to plain cheese, we often get the margarita pizza and the white pie, which are both good. I was excited to hear they have a grandma pie which we'll order next time.... read more

10.23.24 ---The chicken francaise and chicken marsal were delicious. It tasted like my friends Nona prepared it. Thanks for the great experience 2 fold. When it's that good you have to share that. read more

Very good gluten free pizza. The best in the area. Their chicken cheese steak is very good also. Better than most places quick delivery too.

Great food great service. Enjoy stopping into Charles every time my wife and I go to New Jersey

Best pizza around! The food is great, service is awesome, never had a bad expensive! Love Charlie's!

Well first thing is first. This place is literally 2 min from my house. And I understand I am not the only person ordering dinner. The order took over an hour and when I finally got the food it was ice cold and missing items. When I called to tell them about the mistake I sat on hold for 5 minutes. They had told me they were going to send out the missing food but it was going to take a while. I told them to forget it and to refund my card. They said they couldn't do that and offered to give me a credit for next time. So basically I paid 35 bucks for a sub and a side of meatballs. I will not be ordering from here again. The food is mediocre at best anyway. read more

Not sure what happened here, but if I was the owner I would definitely find out and probably reply to this post with an apology. Now granted, I did not have time to go back, or I would have. Order a large 1/2 mushroom pizza for over $19 and got eh attached raw pizza. People need to stop playing the Covid card and get back to quality service and quality products. read more

Overall their menu is good and what is offered is very tasty. I am not however a fan of the margarita pizza. Instead of just the tomatoes or tomato sauce they had something more like a bruschetta with onions(?). I'll stay with the traditional pie from now on. read more

Decided on Charlie's Fischer Blvd. for our 1st NFL weekend. Got a plain garlic-bread which was $4.00, stale and the opposite of moist and fresh. Got a large antipasto salad which was mediocre but didn't even come with enough oil & vinegar dressing to cover it. Result: Probation for the rest of the NFL season and probably long into 2020. read more

Time to find a new pizza restaurant. There have been several occasions where I got the wrong order or my order wasn't correct. They don't offer refunds, only verbal store credit on future orders (I got no gift card or written confirmation). They also charge a "service fee," a "credit card fee," a "delivery fee," and a "pickup fee!" They actually charge the customer to pick up their own food!! When I complained about the pick up fee, I was told they have "always done that." If that's the case, silly me for not checking my charges more closely in the past, but more importantly shame on you, Charlie's, for taking advantage of your customers. On top of all that, the food has gone from great to mediocre, so it's not even worth the cost. read more

Wow - so disappointed tonight. Charlie's is one of our usual go to spots ( over 15 yrs) for pizza, pasta, hot heroes. Usually no issue using on line ordering as far as pick up time and accuracy. Not tonight - placed an on line order 1 hour before the requested pick up time. Got there on time, order was not ready - 10 min later, still not ready. 20 min later, still not ready. 25 min after the time it was supposed to be ready, the order is finally packed up and handed to us. We asked who was in charge - a gruff older man replied " do you want the food or not?" This is the service I get for leaving a 20% tip? Forget it - I'll go to one if the many other pizzerias who appreciate my business. Bye bye Charlie read more

My favorite place, best ceaser salad dressing I've ever had. Great workers and owner.

Charlie is not very nice and my room mate isn't allowed to be there anymore, Charlie approached my room mate after she came out of the bathroom, and someone found a dead fly in their food read more

The employees were so friendly and the food was great. I was on vacation and a friend recommended it and it was 10 out of 10.

One bite everyone knows the rules. 3.9... Worst pizza ever. Ordered for the first time, got two pizzas, one plain and one sausage and peppers. Both raw in the middle cheese barely melted. Waited over an hour, but I understand that part with the covid even though they said 30 minutes. It was honestly the worst pizza I've ever had. read more

Charlie's Pizza - Mushy half way up to the center - Pizza Near Me - Toms River, New Jersey

Super busy on a Saturday night, so it was hard to find parking. We had a slice of mushroom pizza and a ham and cheese calzone. My pizza was nothing special, kind of tasted like canned mushrooms. The calzone was more dough and cheese than anything, I think there were two slices of ham in it? But that plus two drinks, came out to be $18, so a bit pricier than I was expecting. It might be fun to come for drinks, but I would pass on the food. read more

Warning do not eat the pizza from the counter you don't know where it's been. We've been ordering from Charlie's for years. Tonight's the last time. Service has gone down hill. We ordered 3 pizzas on a Wednesday. All WRONG. We called to complain they were rude and asked for the pizzas back. To do what with them? They replaced one pie while my husband starved and after all this it was STILL WRONG. read more

I unfortunately revisited the store and hoped that maybe on a small chance it changed, however that was not the case. This time I went in person so that way I don't have to deal with the negativity of the drivers that work there, however that was an even horrible decision. The 2 girls at the front are constantly laughing, on their phones, and honestly don't even know how to act polite. I came here with my family and so far it was horrible. The male people that were there were either depressed or laughing with those 2 clowns at the front, honestly I'm not even shocked that the store is barely empty now. When I paid for the pizza and not leave a tip for the one of the clowns at the front, she scoffed and gave me a shit attitude. Hopefully this pizza place either shuts down, hires new staff, or fires whoever is in charge for handling these "workers." It feels like an abandoned high school where kids go to just to talk and hangout. I'm simply disgusted and I'm officially done ordering from this place. Fix your shit or you'll go bankrupt and in debt, it's that simple. read more

Honestly not sure why all the bad reviews. We got three large pizzas, plain, meat, and veggie and all the pies were quite good. Crust had just the right chew, not too thick or too thin, and certainly not pricey for the size. read more

Ordered from Charlie's last night pizza was great garlic knots not so good very dry not a lot of garl

Charlies has the best pizza in the area. The Ceaser dressing that they make is my favorite. Highly recommend this place.

Staff is rude, food came out wrong, and when it did come out correct it was cold. A cheesesteak should not have a slice of half melted American cheese on it. The bread was stale. The pizza was soggy we couldn't even hold it.. nothing about this place was good. Not to mention they didn't even offer a different meal. I would never go back to this place again. There are far way too many better pizzerias in Toms River.. read more

Worst delivery and service I have ever experienced. Charlie's offers an online ordering, similar to chain pizza places like Pizza Hut. I set the order time for 2:30pm, I hop in the shower and get out around 1:30, door bell rings. Um, ok? I answer the door, "Do you have another card or cash? You're credit card was declined, tried it three times." I apologized saying I have no other form of payment. "I can't just give you the food you know." So I nicely said, not asked even though I did question "can you wait 5 min I can figure this out." He says "no" drives away with my food. As irritated by that, I called up the place and told them "hi I placed an order for delivery and my card was declined three times, the delivery guy drove off after I told him to wait, my card is good now I made a transfer." And he says, "your card was declined three times I tried it already." Really? Instead of ignoring my complaint about him driving off right there, you tell me you tried it three times? TELL ME SOMETHING I DO NOT KNOW! He eventually tried it a fourth time, it worked, and I didn't catch what he said after, so I said "I'm sorry?" And he says "yeah bye." With that being said, the same delivery guy comes back, I apologized (even though he was the one who drove off) and my apology was non-existent. "Sign here, pen is in there." I signed, handed me pizza, forgot my fries back at the restaurant, so he began apologizing and threatened his own coworkers, saying he "is going to shoot them." I waited for the cheese fries, everything was cleared up, with cold food. Not like lukewarm or not all-that hot, I mean like frozen cold! Since I was in the shower I had two missed calls from Charlie's about the decline, never thinking to check my phone. Bottom line, I should've waited to order when I got out of the shower and not use the online BULLSHIT. I'll take the blame for that. However, delivering my food 1hr early, driving off and being impatient, and shall I mention his speed in a neighborhood road to get the cheese fries back? This jerk was willing to kill someone by being so stupid and careless about safety. 50+mph for sure on a 35 mph road, dumbass! I suggest eating there, or not at all. If it wasn't for the dickhead on the phone I would eat there still, but poor customer service = a big fat FUCK YOU I'm not eating here again! read more

Was a regular weekly customer --regular pizzas subs calzones Etc Then started also ordering gluten free for wife BUT THEY CANT DO A GLUTEN FREE PIZZA WITHOUT BURNING IT!! Happened more than once Dan the manager--if you can't do gluten pizzas right then don't offer them Will not order again from you read more

I order from Charlie's pretty frequently, mostly because it's convenient and consistent. The pizza is okay - I've definitely had better, but I've also had way worse - but their calzones are nicely done. I stay with the small ones to make sure they aren't undercooked at all; nothing like a mouthful of raw pizza dough, and I have had that happen here once. I've eaten just about everything they have on the menu over the last ten years, and as with anywhere, some things are better than others, The hot and cold subs are generally very good, though the cheesesteaks are nothing to write home about. I'm of the opinion that they should toast the hot subs in the oven for a bit, but they don't, so that's that. The baked dishes are pretty standard; I often get the eggplant rollatini, and my wife seems to like the lasagna. She also orders the chicken parmesan from time to time, which I have also had, and it's not bad at all. Bear in mind, this is not a Michelin starred restaurant, it's a take-out pizza joint, and you get what you pay for. Contrary to a previous reviewer's assertion, the food is not terrible, nor is it "grossly overpriced". But you already know to disregard people who feel the need to use more than one exclamation point, I'm sure. The buffalo wings on offer are actually very good, but they're a bit stingy with the blue cheese, so make sure you ask for extra, even with the small order. I also suggest that the more toppings you add to your pizza, the better it is going to taste. The pizza sauce they use is a bit salty, and adding toppings obscures that fact. As I said previously, the restaurant is very consistent; everything always tastes exactly the same as it did the time before, so there is no guesswork necessary. If you like shrimp scampi, and you didn't care for it when you first ordered it here, there's no need to try a second time. Conversely, if you enjoyed something, it too will taste exactly the same the second, third, and twentieth times around, and that is a key to any successful restaurant, and why I've been ordering from Charlie's for at least a decade. read more

Called for a pizza. Told him I would pick it up. They told me 20 minutes. 40 minutes later no text to come get my pizza so I called them. They told me oh yeah your pizza is ready. My pizza was ready for 20 minutes. Ice cold no offered to make me a new one. I was a loyal customer this place has gone downhill in the last four months I will never be back this is not the first time this has happened. And tell your employees to put their masks on read more

I do not get my pizza from anywhere else and if I do, I turn my nose up at it. Haha. My boyfriend put it perfectly, it's that slice of pizza that folds and doesn't flop. It's crispy on the bottom but not throughout, but to too doughy. Their sauce is amazing, too! Doesn't give you heartburn like some can. Recommendation: Chicken parm pizza and Margarita pizza. read more

Just your average pizza place. Ate there for the first time in year and the pizza was good, not amazing but good. I had a white slice with broccoli and a plain and my fiance got BBQ chicken (white pie) and cheese steak. We shared a soda and it was only $12.00, which I I think wasn't to bad of a price. The guy working the counter was so unhappy it was ridiculous! I will eat here again but it is about average. read more

The Sicilian pizza was terrible- it tasted Like a loaf of cheesy bread, The dough tasted old and stale. Worst Sicilian we've had. The white pizza was pretty good however so it made up for it, hence the two stars. Most likely won't be ordering from here again. read more

I just wanted to say that Charlie's pizza on Fischer Blvd is THE ONLY pizza place in Ocean County that has consistently good pizza and consistently good delivery service. We've been down here for almost 9 years and have tried every pizza place in the area and they never disappoint. When you ask for thin crust, well done...you get a thin crust, well done pizza. When you ask for a dollop of ricotta on your kids sized linguine...you get a dollop of ricotta on your linguine. That sounds rudimentary but I can't tell you how many times I've ordered from other places with simple requests and they are either ignored or done wrong. So...thank you Charlie's for again sending me the perfect pizza. I wish I took a picture of it before we tore it up lol. read more
