Located in an unassuming strip mall is the beloved Brooklyn Square Pizza. The mothership. This…read morerestaurant opened up in 2013! It was a quiet Monday, President's Day, late afternoon and coming back from a road trip. Brooklyn Square was the perfect pit stop! We had some pizza, some pasta and some salad and it was all really good. Our server highly recommended sandwich #17 and it was so good. I would have never ordered a grilled shrimp panini - - but this one was loaded with shrimp, avocado, broccoli rabe and fresh mozz -- SO GOOD - - definitely try that one! Service was also very good. Our server had so much patience - - it's hard to decide on an order because everything is so good! There's a reason Dave Portnoy gave Brooklyn Square a 8.9 rating - - the signature "upside down" pizza is so good. (Cheese on the bottom, sauce on the top). It's actually hard to even pick one slice - - so you'll have to go back and try other ones. My husband loves the eggplant rollatini....breaded eggplant rolled with ricotta, spinach, roasted red peppers with mozz on top - -that brings him back to Brooklyn Square every time! There are also quite a few other locations - Manalapan, Toms River, Bradley Beach, and the new Shrewsbury restaurant. I can't wait for them to open up their Marlboro location!

Fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Honestly, the only problem was that we should've ordered 10 pies because it disappeared fast. The spinach artichoke pie was especially amazing... creamy, perfectly balanced, and a standout favorite. Great pizza, great decision, and now officially a must-stop anytime we're passing through.

Hubs and I were looking for a place to eat in the Jackson area and were originally going to go to…read morethe Jackson Diner. I saw this place and told him that I always wanted to give this place a try. Kalamata has both a restaurant and pizza place and we opted for the latter. This place also serves sushi as well. The windows were covered up so you can't see the interior but I knew it was a pizza joint. We ordered and shared the following: Eggplant parm pizza- when we got it , Hubs asked if we had the wrong pizza. This didn't look like the usual eggplant parm pizza. It was tiny pieces of eggplant and not like chunks of it. The pizza also had pesto spiral swirled around. It was a nice surprise. Hubs thought the pesto spiral was a nice touch. The pieces of eggplant was very flavorful. The sauce was very flavorful and the pizza crust was nice and soft but crispy enough on the bottom. Shakshuka- this came with 3 eggs. We thought this order was delicious. It came with a few slices of bread but it wasn't enough to sop up the sauce. Hubs brought it home to put it on top of his ramen. LOL. We also took home the tomatoes and cucumbers that came along with it as well. This place is a pleasant surprise. There were a lot of flies flying around the pizzas, but we were surprised that the flies didn't come towards us when we were eating. We were glad to not end up at the Jackson Diner. Will return to try other items on the menu.

Craving minestrone soup, went to Emilio's on a Friday night. Paid $7.50 for a cup of soup. It was…read moremade with... cheap store bought Farfalle pasta (the bowtie one)??? Poor choice in pasta. Did not hold up well in soup. It had very few vegetables in it and very watered down tomato soup base. The only seasoning was salt. A lot of salt. And a touch of pepper. Came with 2 breadsticks, they were bland but the right texture. Service was silly bad. Two teenagers, one who didn't know how to use the register. Didn't know bread came with the soup. Charged me the wrong amount, but was nice enough when I explained it and it was settled. The small front room was packed with crabby people waiting for their food. One lady was waiting for a chicken parm for an hour. It was tight and uncomfortable. I waited over a half hour for them to pour the premade soup into a to-go cup and put the premade bread into a bag. My quest for actual minestrone continues on elsewhere.

why was my order thrown away?? Because I came 1 hr and 20 mins after ordering? Make it make sense?…read more I have been a faithful customer for years and just get pushed aside for being too late when they take down your name and number to monitor that you come in to get the food and now you just throw my pizza away? Now I have to get my kids food somewhere else! It's just crazy considering I've been a faithful customer for over a decade. Very disappointed in Emilios.

Whenever we needed anything they had it to us PLUS some. They're bilingual as well so that was very helpful for those in the restaurant who only spoke Spanish.

The pizza was great as well, it wasn't thick to where you feel extremely full at the end. It had an even amount of ingredients in every bite. I would order from here again as well as dine in again.!

Marinara is pretty good. I would not recommend vodka sauce. Overall, pretty good food. Service / Delivery: always pretty good Price: This is my biggest issue with this place. Prices were just raised. I understand supplies went up but in comparison w/ other local places, it seems excessive. I ordered Shrimp Parm with vodka sauce (instead of red). The price was significantly more than other places around here. Chicken parm the same. Overall- good foundation but some changes would be needed if I want to order again.
