Our first visit to this 'Icon' pizzeria and Bakery in Bradley Beach. The warm Goat salad and pizza was awesome. The ambiance is a real cool Pizzeria look and feel. The server was very warm and friendly offering some popular suggestions. The bakery next door will also knock your socks off. A grand slam all the way around. We highly recommend this pizzeria and bakery in the heart of Jersey Shore! read more

After a day at the beach we were looking for a new place to try. Came upon this restaurant on a Saturday night. There was a wait but it went pretty fast. We gave them our name and number and they texted us when our table was ready. We got a table on the porch which was nice. We just ended up getting a large margherita pizza. It came out pretty fast. We were seeing other peoples meals coming out and they all looked delish! Our pizza came out piping hot. It LOOKED like it was going to be too much sauce. You can even see in the photo ... but when we dug it and had our first slice, it was the perfect amount of sauce. It didn't taste overly sauced at all. It was the perfect amount of sweetness. The balance of cheese/sauce/crust was perfect. The crust was firm yet soft. Definitely on our top five list of pizzas! We cannot wait to go back and try some of the other dishes. read more

Really enjoyed the goat cheese and walnut salad. The warm goat cheese complemented the green mix and fruit and nuts perfectly. Ordered the pizza will sausage and the crust was thin and crispy just the way I like it. The service was attentive without being annoying. They allow you to bring your own bottle so it was a fantastic way to enjoy autumn at an out door table. read more

30 minute wait. Host and our server not friendly. We sat outside, the inside was not very cozy, very outdated decor. Salad and pizza came out quickly. The salad was fine, unfortunately the pizza had a very soggy wet center. Who likes soggy pizza? Very disappointing, especially when the menu states the pizza will be WELL DONE. It was not! read more

Excellent Pizza and BYOB, Outdoor Dining always nice. Service was spot on. Close to home and wasn't rushed to leave.

This place is always yummy and my most recent trip was no exception. I was there with some family and we shared everything. Starting with the antipasto salad which had a great balsamic dressing, loads of various Italian meats, and was enough for four to share. We also had an order of ice balls which comes with two gigantic and delicious arancini. Then, we had the broccoli rabe and sausage white pizza, honey bacon pizza, and meatball parm pizza. They were all cooked perfectly and delicious. Our server was very friendly and very competent. read more

Ambiance is very casual. This is a BYOB very popular with locals because they serve great food in good size portions at reasonable prices. Dined here early last evening, Saturday. We sat on porch, you can also sit inside. Service by Marilyn and bus boys was excellent; they serve quickly and when we were there (510 to 620 pm) they kept filling tables as soon as they became vacant. Most people start with a salad, $12.95 or $13.95 or antipasto $16.95. We started with Apple Pecan Salad, yum. Then most people order a coal-fired pizza, $19.95 for large. All pizzas are topped with fresh basil. We had Tuscan Pizza and added anchovies to half of it ($1.50 extra). Delicious pizza. If you eat here once, I bet you will be back. read more

This is a smaller pizzeria that packs a great punch. The coal fire oven creates a slight crisp yet soft middle crust which has great flavor and a tiny bit of char to it. The flavors of the sauce are rich and fresh. Hot melted mozzarella and fresh basil too this beautiful Pie Waitstaff was friendly and fast. This is a must for fresh pizza LOVERS. we will definitely make the drive back. Next door is also their bakery to take some yummy baked goods home. read more

Service just plainly sucked but the pizza was good and came out quickly. Our waiter never asked us if we needed straws, garlic, red pepper etc. We were only aware after at another table, their server offered everything. So we asked for the red pepper flakes and we're promptly brought them. This is the kind of pizza that needs to be eaten there and right away, as it is thin and would probably get soggy if taken home. read more

Living at the northshore, we're blessed with so many vg pizzarias. Add Del Ponte's to that list as their 'Vinny' is so good.

First time at the pizza place as well as the creamery and it will not be the last! We are regulars at the bakery but today we did the pizza and arancini at their restaurant and walked over here for gelato and expresso. The waitress Laila was wonderful. She did recommend the eggplant tower for our next visit as my husband wanted the margarita pizza for his first visit. The ladies at the creamery Aubry and Chloe were simply delightful too! Sweet young ladies with customer service smiles ear to ear! We hope the owner sees this and tells the girls how much they are appreciated. Both spots have great service and experienced staff that shows...The gelato shop was very busy but they greeted every single person as they came in and never missed a step. The chocolate, stracciatella and pignoli were the flavors we tried and all were just delicious. My husband also had a double expresso and he loved that too! We will be back to bring some pints home next time. Can't wait to try the eggplant on our next visit to the pizza shop as well. I will take a photo of Laila our next trip. read more

We always travel to get Delpontes pizza, we love it and always sit down and eat. However tonight we decided to order three pies to go and when we got home we opened the boxes to our three large pizza and two of them we really smal not even the size of the box and all theee were oval shaped. We were kind of disappointed, especially because when we done it it is always a decent size and tastes phenomenal. read more

We love Del Ponte's and eat there throughout the year, not just in the summer. The pizza is amazing and the service is always good. Also try their salads, and I particularly enjoy the meatball parmigiana sub! read more

We've been spending part of our summer in Bradley Beach for over 20 years but this was our first visit to Del Ponte's. Amazing! From the very sweet hostess who seated us right away to Lola our outstanding server, the night was perfect. Service was spot on - super attentive and very quick considering how busy it was even on a Monday night. The food was excellent and we can't wait to go back this week. And kudos to the hostess who was ending her day by spraying down and cleaning the menus! We appreciate you! read more

Delish delish delish.. pizza is soooooo good.. check this spot out for sure .... Ya will like it

Its definitely a top 5 pizza place in all of NY and NJ. Service is amazing. Save room for the delicious bakery attached.

The pizzas had good flavor but weren't crunchy. The salad was good. Maybe take out is not as good as dining in.

Excellent they deserve 5+ star reviews! They are always on point. Fresh, simple classic read more

Del Ponte's Coal Fired Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Bradley Beach, New Jersey

Tried to place an order for 2 large salads and 3 pizzas for a family whose father passed away. I tried to order the food yesterday (Friday) for pick up today (Saturday) since it was a big order, but they wouldnt take the order. Told me I had to call back today- fine. Called back on Saturday at 12:30 for pick up at 5. I live in Warren County NJ and was purchasing the food for a family in mourning. Asked to pay the bill in full over the phone. They dont accept payment over the phone. I asked if they could make an exception as I didnt want my friend to have to pay for the dinner. I was told No. I asked If I could speak to someone who could maybe make an exception and I was told no. They told me I could drive there (2 hours) and pay for the food but that was all they would do. I dont care how good the pizza is, I wouldnt spend my money here. read more

Pros- the Sorrento Salad was amazing and the server was pleasant and attentive. We sat on the patio which was quite nice (but they definitely need better chairs) Cons- I don't think restaurants should charge patrons for utilizing credit cards...the food is expensive enough. They should accept this as a cost of doing business and eat the cost. read more

True Score: 3.50 Stars Decent coal fired pizza. Tasty pizza, but I was very surprised that the crust was so doughy after I specifically requested that the pie be well done. The outside was charred, but the crust itself was actually still raw. I will give it another shot and hopefully it will be better. Thanks read more

Came here on July 4 and there was no wait. My group of 5 shared 2 apps, 2 Large Pizzas and the trio of ice cream. My favorite dish was definitely the eggplant tower. It was really thing and the breading was crispy. On top of that there was pesto. The salad was also refreshing and I liked the candied pecans. Perfect after beach meal. The pizzas were good as well. We ordered the pancetta and pasqual which was pretty much the same thing with bacon and sausage interchanged. I personally would've liked the tomato sauce to be a bit more tart to brighten up the flavors. For me it came a little concentrated, but this is all preference. The gelato felt a tad too sweet for me and I wish it would've been colder. Overall a good meal nonetheless wit great service. read more

Delponte's never disappoints. I love going for a salad and a pizza pie. This time I had the apple pecan salad and margarita pie. The pizza is done to perfection and delicious. This is what jersey is all about. The salad dressing is light on top of the spring mix. Whether you're local or visiting the jersey shore stop by for a pie at Delponte's. read more

Great pizza, food came out quick and pizza was one of the best around. Tried their homemade focaccia bread with olives and onions as well as sauce hit the spot. The soup was pretty good as well. Will definitely be back for more. 5 star if they didn't add surcharge for using credit card read more

Good pizza all the time. With good pizza combos. You can also get a nice salad. Pizza combos are fresh and tasty. Then go next door to the bakery. read more

Absolutely love Del Ponte's - it's a go-to for us every summer. They are perfect for lunch after a day at the beach or dinner, and they're great with groups. We had lunch here last weekend as a party of 6 (4 adults, 2 kids) and brought our appetites: Caesar salad, broccoli and sausage calzone, Balsamic Pizza (white pizza with artichoke hearts, tomatoes and sautéed spinach), and the Soppressata pizza (tomato sauce, arugula and honey). Everything was delicious; no pictures because we were so hungry and had very few leftovers! Our server was fantastic, very attentive and friendly. They're BYOB, so I recommend picking up some beer around the corner from Bradley Brew Project at the same time! read more

We ordered a pepperoni and cheese pizza and I was obsessed with how good it was . They added spinach leaves and although I was afraid the kids wouldn't eat it they loved it as well. Service was great even though they were super busy. We drove 2 hours to come to the beach and so glad we tried it. Definitely recommend! read more

Pizza pies leave you still feeling hungry. Crust is super thin and pie is small. The toppings are tasty though.

I'm surprised I've never been here before having been to many Bradley restaurants. I will certainly go back. I tried a special that was very good. It was a bit unorthodox in that it was an arancini (rice balls) and eggplant parmesan combo. The arancini was deep fried and covered with marinara sauce. I enjoyed it very much. I also tried their pizza which was also very good and was cooked probably in a wood or coal fired stove. Worth the trip! read more

Del Ponte's Coal Fired Pizza is a must visit if you are in the Bradley Beach area. Friends who have summer houses in Bradley Beach rave about this place. I've had the best pizza in New York and Hoboken and I have to say that the pizza at Del Ponte's is very good. The restaurant has indoor and covered outdoor seating. The place is very popular and was packed when I visited but the wait was not that bad. My party was seated quickly and the staff was friendly and helpful. The menu had tons of amazing options but we settled for the Balsamic Pizza. The pizza had fresh mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, sauteed spinach and artichoke hearts drizzled with balsamic glaze. It was delicious! I've definitely be coming back here to try the other specialty pies! read more

I had a small size (12") Pizza margarita. Liked charcoal flavor from their oven on top of balanced toppings. The thickness of crust is good but I'd prefer cooked little bit more for its crunchiness or make thinner. read more

This is a review of the pizza. I go to a pizza place to eat pizza. The pizza here is great. Its not like other pies. Its its own thing. Its not some trendy pizza innovation. Its the real deal authentic old school high heat coal fired brick oven pizza. The flavor is awesome. The texture is great. Yes there can be long waits. Those guys are pros turning out tons of perfect pies. I've been 1/2 dozen times. Its always been great, but its much better to go at off hours. read more

We went early on for a early dinner on Wednesday. It wasn't crowded at all and we were sat immediately. We split a Tuscan pie and a Tuscan panini. The pizza was absolutely delicious. It came quickly, fresh, piping hot, right out of the coal fired oven. The crust was thin, chewy, tangy and a bit charred. The panini was great too. The bread was awesome and toasty. They're generous with the chicken breast and toppings and it was perfectly seasoned. They also use fresh mozzarella here. It's a BYOB place and the prices are very fair for the quality ingredients that they use. The service was great. We're definitely coming back. I can't believe we hadn't tried this place sooner. read more

We decided to give this place a try after reading the reviews. We were immediately seated after checking in. The restaurant is medium in size, with heated outdoor vestibule seating as well as enough indoor seating. The restaurant is mostly brown, with one of the walls being made of brick. A TV hangs near the front of the restaurant and the pizza station is located there as well. We ordered the large Tuscan pizza which had mozzarella sauce, tomato sauce, fresh garlic, asiago cheese, breaded eggplant and caramelized onions on it. Hubs liked it a lot and thought it was better than average. He loved the eggplant and onions, but thought the asiago cheese was a little strange for him because he forgot that it was on the pizza. The cheese provided a different twang than parmigiano reggiano or parmesan cheese. I thought the pizza was good and the ingredients all worked well together. Next we had the rice balls, which is seasoned rice stuffed with ground beef, peas and mozzarella, served over their homemade meat sauce garnished with parmesan cheese.Daughter liked it a lot and thought the rice balls were soft and crunchy at the same time. She hasn't had it for a long time and thought it was a wonderful reintroduction to the treat. I liked the rice balls a lot. It's usually my favorite appetizer. Hubs thought it was small and tasted ok. Finally, we had the broccoli rabe & sausage calzone, which had mozzarella, sautéed broccoli rabe, and Italian sausage. Hubs liked the calzone because there was plenty of broccoli rabe and garlic in it. He recognized this is essentially a pizza folded in half. But, when dipped in the tomato sauce, this would make it his favorite pizza of the night. Daughter thought it was ok but liked the rice balls and pizza more. I loved the calzone and thought the broccoli rabe, garlic and tomato sauce were a nice combination. Service was quick and friendly. I'm glad that we got a chance to try this place. Will definitely return to try other items on the menu! read more
