I was really impressed with circle pizza today, more then just good pizza. I had an order of hot wings and the cheesesteak salad. I was impressed that the ranch dressing & blue cheese dressings were homemade. Wings were really, really good as they were large and thoroughly cooked. Maybe a little too cooked, but better then under cooked. The sauce was good and probably a jacked up mass market hot sauce but very good. Cheesesteak salad was great and I had to have a slice as much as I was avoiding carbs. Pizza is really good , very unique and different from any pizza anywhere. The crust is super thin, tasty sauce and good cheese. Definitely overpriced but in line with boardwalk prices. A great tradition in Avalon and a great option for a casual lunch or late night snack. read more

Circle Pizza - Cheesesteak - Pizza Near Me - Avalon, New Jersey

$15 caesar wrap usually means business but here it means vacancy. No side for included in that price, just straight shitty caesar wrap that you might even get a lick of caesar dressing in. Caesar wrap so bad it's like trying to describe julius caesar to someone today. Literally terrible. Nice workers. read more

Excellent pizza, got one plain and one pepperoni slice. Crust is delicious, thin, with a slight chew and great texture. Sauce is memorable as it's bright and has a slight hint of lemon and a robust tomato flavor and is simply delicious. Pizza is rich but oddly tastes light and is really delicious. Will definitely be back for more. Great ambiance and service. read more

Live at south end of Sea Isle, tested 3 pizza joints (there are plenty more but I stuck to 3 for this test). All were good, however the rankings were clear. Keep in mind, I purchased these by the slice....not an entire fresh pie. Oogies - good, least expensive, but came in last. Azzura - Really good (they put the sauce and cheese almost to the very edge of the pie) 2nd place. Circle Pizza in Avalon - By far the best...and I mean by far....again, purchased by the slice . Only thing is that Circle charges a lot more per slice. Oogies around $3.40 per and Circle around $5.25 per. The Circle slice is probably 30% larger so.....but you get what you pay for. This is the Jersey Shore in summer time...Circle comes in #1 for quality ...at least in my humble opinion read more

Best pizza in NY/NJ/PA...and great service No other words but so good definitely try it read more

Circle has always been the best spot to grab a slice. Pizza is consistently good - great spot before or after the beach.

Not mad just dissatisfied. I went to circle pizza on an hot 85 degree day. I walked in to buy a drink. However when I went to the soda fountain almost everything was out when I faced them with the problem they told me "we are not going to refill and they don't wanna restock it". Do not recommend. read more

Pizza and cheesesteaks? Delicious, no doubt. But let's be real--Avalon has a knack for turning everything into a luxury item. We decided to indulge in a large pizza and a cheesesteak, and all we wanted to wash it down was a simple glass of water. Imagine my surprise when the host informed us that bottled water was our only option. I inquired about regular water, only to be told that we'd need to purchase a cup for that privilege. "How much for the cup?" I asked, half-expecting a reasonable answer. "$2.85," she replied. I had to pass. What kind of restaurant doesn't offer complimentary water? It's like charging for air! I guess I'll be saving my pennies and my appetite for establishments that appreciate the value of hydration. Consider this my farewell to this overpriced joint! read more

If you want a cold slice of last night's mediocre pizza this place is for you. For only $5 per slice you can relive your days in college when sustenances were more important than quality and you would sacrifice almost anything to have something in your stomach. In times like these we spend so much on experiences especially ones that take us back in time. So at $5 a pop, it feels cheap for the experience of a cheap product read more

The latest owner has absolutely ruined this place. Had the best pizza & good growing up. Ordered buffalo chicken tenders today, I remember them being soaked in buffalo sauce. I got regular chicken tenders & they gave me a side of buffalo sauce. . read more

This is the capita of Pizza in Avalon (and beyond.) Thin delicious crust topped with great slightly sweet sauce and covered in nutty cheese. The service is quick and friendly. They work with 2 ovens. This is the place to be for pizza Worth a special trip read more

1/10. Would not recommend. I ordered a Red Pizza. That is not cheese, yet cheese was on the pizza. I told the lady that it wasn't what I ordered and she told me "red pie still has cheese", so would a white pizza still have sauce?? Looks like the just removed the cheese from the original pizza they gave me. I definitely won't be ordering from there again, would much rather go to Shorebreak Pizza across the street. read more

the pizza taste super good and the fries are the best I've ever had in my life. the service there is also really great. the employees are great. if your in Avalon I'd recommend to stop by. read more

This place is an absolute rip off. Came here one night to get a slice. I ordered two cheese and two pepperoni slices and it came out to $24. I asked the server how much a whole pie was and they told me $30. $30 for a cheese pie is extremely overpriced and $24 for four slices is equally as criminal. The pizza itself isn't anything to call home about. I'm pretty sure the owner of this place is just trying to take advantage of patrons coming out of the bars in the area that aren't paying attention. I would never come back here. read more

Gross. A large cheese pie and a small pie with veggies......$42.98. Rip off! Horrible! Better bet with some frozen pie from Acme. read more

Circle Pizza - the price of a box of pizza - Pizza Near Me - Avalon, New Jersey

Don't order from Circle Pizza. Did an order over the phone for delivery, paid with credit card, and included a generous tip. Never showed up. Stopped answering the phone. Drove all the over there and they said they were unexpectedly busy but there were like 2 people in there. Left with no food. Done with them. If I could give zero stars I would. read more

Can I give this a zero? Over $50 for pizza and salad. If reasonably priced I would give it a 2. But it's not good. The order was wrong. The one topping we got was half in the pizza. I can't go back. read more

Pizza is mediocre at best, service is hit or miss, and the prices are astonishingly high given the quality of the food. There are better options for pizza locally. read more

Circle Pizza - The Ultimate Pizza (gluten-free crust) - Pizza Near Me - Avalon, New Jersey

I have been gluten free for a very long time , and haven't had a good gluten free pizza like that ever , I think they make their own crust, it is more on the pricey side you get a small pizza for now around $27 read more

Outstanding gluten free pizza! Seriously. Good little beach pizza place! Hit the spot. read more

Circle Pizza - Gluten free pizza with onions and mushrooms! - Pizza Near Me - Avalon, New Jersey

Excellent gluten free pizza. They must make their own dough . It was the best I've had , and I've had a lot.

Cheesesteaks are just okay. Meat is well seasoned and a good amount of cheese, but it is on a very firm roll (you could call it a "torpedo roll") and less than 12"... I would guess mine was 8-9" if that. There are far better cheesesteaks and value at other places on 7 mile island or if you head south to the Wildwoods. read more

Circle Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Avalon, New Jersey

Mediocre pizza, minimum amount of toppings and hard dough. Service was super cold. Only plus is they are open for lunch on weekdays, only place in Avalon... read more

In avalon you don't have many options. This is my go to pizza spot. The pizza itself is pretty mediocre BUT they make homemade cheesesteak egg rolls that are absolutely incredible. So yummy. The buffalo chicken egg rolls are also good, but can be a little dry. Calzones are fresh (and huge). Apps taste standard pre frozen type of deal. Just make sure you add an order of the cheesesteak egg rolls read more

Ordered a large pizza at just under $25. Pizza is very mediocre, but since Nemo's closed there are few options in Avalon. Dude behind the counter taking pizzas out of the oven had shoulder-length, greasy hair and he was constantly running his hand through his hair to get it out of his eyes. Disgusting. You would think manager or owner would make him wear a hairnet? read more

The counter staff is possibly the worst type of human beings you could possibly encounter. They're arrogant, ignorant and rude beyond imagination. I found a hair in my crust and when I pointed it out was accused of it being my own. The pizza is below average and the staff is below that. read more

To dine in or take out, is the $1000 question. By far our go to pizza joint when down in the area. Pizza is best when served straight from the oven. The offer both indoor and outdoor dinning options. While my son could eat Pizza ever day, one of the great things about Circle Pizza is they are linked with the Graden of Eatin. My daughter was not in the mood for Pizza, but was able to satisfy her hunger with a burrito from Big Chanco's. A huge bonus in my opinion. We did do take out as well. While not Circle Pzza's fault, this location seems to be notorious for young teenage kids to hang out. We found them to be very inconsiderate as that gathered in large groups, had foul mouths, and left behind their mess expecting staff to clean up after them. Clearly not a restaurant issue and more of a poor parenting issue for raising such disrespectful kids who are poorly supervised who have access to Mommy and Daddy's credit card. My kids were rather shocked at how disrespectful and arrogant they were. Would have loved to video them, but clearly that was not a smart move. Nonetheless, the Pizza is awesome ans is best when eaten right out of the oven. On any given shore bound destination, we stop in at least 2 if not three times.. read more

Margherita pizza. $34 and barely any cheese. two slices didn't have one piece of fresh mozzarella on it. overrated and overprice.

I will never order from circle pizza again. I called one night an HOUR before they closed for delivery. The girl on the phone wasnt happy about me calling, I could tell by the way she tried telling me they had no bread left for my sandwich. So I order a salad and a sandwich. It takes over 45min to be delivered. So now its 10:00, their closing time and I open my food to see they did not give me my sandwich. I call back. Dont you know, no one answers. It was 10:00 on the dot. I've never worked in a pizza shop where we are all cleaned up and out the door before the closing time. It has been over 2 weeks since that incident and no one has refunded me my money, everytime I call I get some bullshit excuses or i have to call multiple times to reach a manager. Their customer service is horrible, I would just like my money back. Check out Tonios pizza instead! They are amazing. read more

The staff here are probably the most unhappy people I have ever encountered in my life. It's almost like they are trying to be miserable towards customers. The monotone voice they use while taking orders made me question if I was speaking to a robot at first. Someone in my party is gluten free and the staff were unaccommodating and rude when she asked if there were any options for her. On top of all this, the prices are over the top and can change without notice. However, if you can look past these things, the food itself is very good. Great pizza, cheesesteaks, and fries. I almost compare this place to a toxic relationship. We knew the service and prices would be bad, but we kept coming back anyway because of the food. read more

I rave about pizza in NJ on the regular. Especially at the jersey shore. Yes I ate pizza everyday when I was in Avalon. Yes it is better than any pizza in California. Butttt I have to say, Sea Isle and Belmar still take the prize for having the best shore pizza. This place was down the block from my friends shore house - very accommodating. The sauce is pretty good but the few times I had the pizza it was cooked way too much. I like crispy crust but it was so burnt that it made the slice taste dry and you could barely taste the sauce. After the bars let out you can't get a slice from the "pizza by the slice" window - NOT COOL! read more

Circle Pizza - Dry n burnt but not horrible. Good sauce - Pizza Near Me - Avalon, New Jersey

Went to place with my wife who isn't from the US. The guy lied to her and said they charge for large sodas even for fountain waters. When I questioned it it was clear he was full of BS. Total scam shop be careful and double check your bill. read more

A perfectly situated place to grab a slice or a snack either after or before a night of revelry. At $3 for a plain cheese slice it was a bit on the pricey side but that seems to be the case with everything in Avalon. We also tried the chicken fingers which were a better value than the pizza and were quite delicious! I found it handy that you can call ahead to place an order and then go to eat there. read more

It's absolutely astounding that you can charge $32 dollars for a subpar pie while simultaneously insulting your patrons as they are attempting to purchase. Sign the petition to boycott Circle Pizza - http://chng.it/n4Vv9Wy48M read more

Good for late night slices. Crazy price hike though in the evening due to everyone leaving the Princeton.

What a scam. Cardboard crust, bland tomato sauce and tasteless, cheap cheese. And this was from a pie that just came out of the oven. It couldn't be worse if they tried harder. Clearly, this place serves one function. Maximize profits from the unsuspecting vacationers and spillover out of the Princeton. You've been warned. read more

Sooooooo sad what has happened to this place. I used to frequent Circle Pizza multiple times a year during the season and off-season from 2002 to about 2010 and it was the best pizza I had ever had. Like dreamed about it when I was not in town. WAS THE BEST PIZZA... I had European friends in town and was in AC for the weekend and drove 30 miles out of the way to take them to Circle Pizza for what I advertised to them as "the best pizza they would ever taste"... Well, I can say prices went up quite a bit, the size of the pizza went down quite a bit and at best it's "meh" as far as taste. While they've done quite to enhance the interior of the location (adding the roll-up door to enjoy the breeze was a nice touch), they're really off their pizza game. Both gals working the counter tried delivering the wrong pizza to us. BOTH. It was like the first girl didn't believe it wasn't our pizza so she sent the other one over to try to sell it to us. Finally, they came back to our table asking us what it was we actually ordered and then 20 minutes later we got our pizza. Also, none of the flavors on the fountain soda were working - no matter what we picked the machine dispensed what tasted like sea water. The good news....I don't ever have to worry about craving Circle Pizza again!!! read more

Charging 5 dollars a slice at night because they think drunk people will pay. It is insane for halfway decent pizza to try to rip off people because they think their customers are drunk and will just pay. read more

TOTALLY disappointed. Ordered a half ultimate half cheese pizza, calamari, and buckman's fries. Took an hour and one phone call to get. Then when we got our order, turns out we got the wrong appetizer. Sorry, Ashley! Really? Cheese Fries? We call back and inform them that the appetizer we got isn't ours and the person on the phone said he'd call the delivery driver and left us on hold. Said the driver didn't have his items and blamed the manager. I understand mistakes happen but please just get it solved. We've since called twice and were given the same blank response. We ordered the meal at 7:00 and it is now 11:00. This is ridiculous, please don't hire children without some kind of adult monitoring what's going out. Also, we ordered an Ultimate without tomatoes. We received the entire pizza without tomato sauce. read more
