Cheesesteak fell apart - would not get again
Karly K.

A staple in town - very popular. Quite warm inside from the ovens and body heat. Pizza is standard NY style and classic Italian entrees that are nice in portion size and flavored well. Great white pizza, garlicky flavor. The cheesesteak however (although stuffed) was a little flavorless and very messy--the oil seeping through the bread, bag, and onto my clothes. No bueno. I will say the half size was more than enough though for the average person. Have not found service to be overly friendly here. Would still return for some classic, old school fare.

Federico's special
Patty H.

Whenever we are down the shore we try to make a stop at Federico's because they never disappoint. The sweet tomato sauce they use in their pizza and dishes is truly one of a kind and so delicious. The crust on the pizza is crispy and light and also very flavorful. Their entrees are huge enough to eat for two. Two thumbs up!

Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza
Katie A.

This is our go-to pizza spot in the area. Solid Italian food, our order is always correct, and the delivery time is quick. We like their chicken wings (always super crispy), pizzas, mozzarella sticks, zucchini sticks, and salads. It's a pretty large menu and we haven't tried anything that we haven't liked.

Artichoke Francaise
Nicholas G.

Pizza came out soupy the last 2 times I ordered. The cheese slid off the entire pizza. Not sure if they have new people here but wasn't great. Gotta bump it down to 4 stars.

Grandma

The staff is friendly and the pizza is fantastic. Try the grandma slice, you won't regret it.

A 16" Large Pizza Pie (half pepperoni, bottom half garlic basil) The four corner paradise.. need i say more?

Best pizza I ever had in my life, you need to try this if you even remotely like pizza.

Very good pizza! We tried two different ones. One was the pizza provolone which is on this super thick crust. The other was the white pizza which was on a thin crust. They were totally different from each other but equally tasty! The Pizza Provolone had more robust flavor, but I'm not sure how I feel about the thick crust. It's good, but it's not as pizza-y to me. (And it's served square instead of circle so that's a personal dislike.) Both pizzas were delicious hot and fresh, but as leftovers to eat cold the next day, they didn't quite hit the mark for me.

Sicilian slice and pepperoni & Sausage slice
Chris A.

Stopped in here the other night, definitely a great pizza spot. The place had indoor and outdoor seating, pretty busy. Got some slices, the Sicilian was good and also got the slice with pepperoni and sausage on it. Very good as well. Friendly employees, go try it out!

Number 1. Ham, Salami, Provolone Sub

Amazing food pizza is the best try the bacon chicken ranch and boneless chicken bites

Denyce L.

Omg!!!! No exaggeration !!! Some of the best pizza and garlic knots we've ever had and we didn't get fresh slices! Their slogan says "people over profit" and it shows in their service and taste in food! We ordered two garlic knots, and when she brought it to our table, there were four, two on the house just because. Just really sweet. Look at all that fresh garlic!!!! *homer drool *

Meatball slice and a bacon chicken ranch slice
Brendan B.

Good, solid pizza that I would go back and get another slice anytime I'm in the area. Great business all around and well run. I read that the owner took out a loan at the beginning of the pandemic to pay his employees and that to me says a lot. I love supporting small businesses especially ones like this that really care about their employees and the community!

Storefront

I stopped by with a couple of friends for a quick dinner at 8:05 pm. We asked if they're BYOB and the server didn't know what that meant. We explained and he said, I don't know. He stood around listening and heard a customer tell us where to go to buy a bottle of wine. We returned at 8:28 pm, my friend sat at their patio and waited for someone to come out but another server just stared from inside. Not until she got up and went inside was she told that they're not sitting anyone because they close at 9pm. What upsets me is that they're not very customer oriented. We're very disappointed to not have been allowed to even order a slice and sit without being waited on. The one star is for the Poor customer service. They rather lose three customers than try to accommodate us. If it were 5 minutes to closing I'd understand but that's ridiculous. Another friend went inside to ask if they could reconsider without them waiting on us and she turned me away.

I've been coming to Vic's Italian Restaurant for over 50 years, ever since I was a child and my…read moreparents owned a summer home in Bradley Beach. This fourth-generation, family-run gem has been a favorite of mine for as long as I can remember! If you're looking for a casual, no-frills, family-friendly Italian restaurant with delicious food, generous portions, and reasonable prices, Vic's is the place! They're famous for their award-winning, thin-crust tomato pies, consistently ranked among the best in New Jersey. My personal favorite is the sausage, green pepper, and mushroom tomato pie! The menu has something for everyone, including fried calamari, calamari scampi sautéed in white wine and garlic, stuffed clams oreganata, chicken parmigiana, stromboli, calzones, sandwiches, burgers, and eight varieties of salads. I especially recommend the chopped antipasto salad, stuffed clams oreganata, chicken parmigiana, and, of course, their famous tomato pies! They also have an extensive children's menu, plenty of sides, and homemade soups and sauces available to take home, including pasta fagioli, escarole and bean, minestrone, clam chowder, marinara, and meat sauce. The staff is always friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. There's indoor dining, an outdoor patio, wheelchair accessibility, and both alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages. They also have a FREE parking lot conveniently located behind the restaurant! A few things to know: Vic's is open Tuesday through Sunday and DOES NOT TAKE RESERVATIONS! During the busy summer season, be prepared to wait, but it's absolutely worth it! What makes Vic's so special isn't just the food. It's the tradition, the generations of families returning year after year, and that wonderful old-school Jersey Shore atmosphere. For me, it's all of that, plus over 50 years of wonderful memories and nostalgia. Some places never lose their charm, and Vic's is one of them!

It's well lubricated with plenty of Italian dressing and is always the started for our meal at Vic's. For an entry my wife had Baked cheese ravioli and a side of meatballs. The meal came with plenty of sauce with cheese on top. The side of meatballs came wit two meatballs of a generous size. What was more surprising was the cost of 2 meatballs was only $2.75. A real side bargain if you ask me. For my dinner I had the Seafood linguini. This was a plate of linguini with a pile of seafood on top. Fish, clams, mussels, shrimp and calamari in a spicy marinara sauce. The sauce was a bit thinner and saltier then typical but that's from what came out of all the sea food. And while they said it was spicy this was nothing to worry about as I didn't find it to the point where my wife wouldn't eat it. Service from Barbara was right on point as she had all the answers on menu questions and drinks were refilled in a timely manner. It was also wonderful that we got there before 5:00 pm and had a table in minutes unlike showing up at the same time in the summer. This is a very laid back restaurant with seating for couples, families and mega-families. Tonight we had a seat across from the bar and was forced to watch some football. Love this for a great Italian meal and you will never be disappointed once you suffer from a wait that might be longer then you had hoped!

What a legendary spot! After researching this place and while in the area, we knew someone in our…read moreparty had to take on the whole pie/pizza eating challenge. We came, we saw, and my husband conquered :) A few things to note about Pete & Elda's..they don't take reservations. This is an incredibly popular spot, especially in the summer months, so if this is on your Jersey summer list..block out some time for this experience. They do offer to-go if time isn't of the essence, but I do feel like if you have the opportunity to have the full experience, take it. We've never done a food challenge before, but essentially the challenge is for (1) person, 30minute time frame, conquer a full pie, receive a t-shirt and of course, bragging rights. As we were seated, we noticed several other tables had at least one or more people taking the challenge, which was super fun to see and root on. Also in the parking lot there were people taking pictures with the iconic Pete & Elda's sign with their t-shirt and friends. The pizza is like a cracker-thin crust, super yummy and shareable for large groups. We had the cheese, and others at the table ordered sausage/onions, and pepperoni. We also ordered breaded mushrooms (an NJ shore classic) and zucchini sticks for the table, a Caesar salad, and macaroni and cheese for the kiddo. FYI, the macaroni and cheese was pretty fire! I've been eating a lot of kiddo meal leftovers on this trip, and this was a standout. I love the bar atmosphere of this place too, and learned you can actually also order "bar pies" at the (bar only). Great beer selection! There are other food classics on the menu as well if pizza isn't your thing like chicken parm, stuffed shells, veal, seafood, chowder soup(s), burgers, cheesesteaks, and more. All in all, my husband got the t-shirt, finished the challenge in 19 minutes, took the picture, and we all have fun memories of this day. This seems like a spot that holds a lot of memories for families coming to the Shore, and spending summers eating pie and enjoying tradition and celebration. Can't wait to do the same next summer :)

The owner on the other hand leaves a lot to be desired. We booked for 42, the minimal required was 35. Unfortunately we had a few last week cancellations due to illnesses. Not only did the owner feel it necessary to charge for people that didn't make it , but she informed us that she threw all the remaining food we paid for in the garbage. So. we paid for six people that couldn't attend and couldn't take their portion home because it was in the garbage. Five minutes later she comes out with food, starts throwing it on the table and very rudely states here's your food! Crazy how all of a sudden it appeared! There was a whole tray of wings at the buffet 5 minutes before we stopped serving! Where did they go! It's a disgrace that the owner could stand there be rude and tell an outright lie! Plus she tried to recharge us the deposit we already paid! Should I make mention that there were young kids not part of our party helping themselves to our buffet! And all the pastries were bought from Costco's - not that they aren't good! The French toast was dry, the mimosas they served were straight up bad OJ was awful and there was only a splash of champagne and the bloody Mary's never made their way around - I think I saw them bring up 3 or 4 on a tray - trying to save money on our dime! If your looking to host a party this is not the place - stay away!!!!!!!!!!

I mean, we walked in three minutes after they opened on a Monday in the bar was full already. On a Monday! The service is always very good. Everyone who works there has so much personality and I just love that for a jersey Italian spot. The ambience is perfect for what it's supposed to be. It's kind of like a VFW crossed with an Italian restaurant in Jersey. Nothing is too fancy, but honestly, they don't promise or pretend to be anything other than what they are. They have live music almost every Friday and Saturday and honestly everyone that I've ever heard there is quite good, so good in fact, I would almost go there just for the band. The pricing is some of the best around, in face here is an example. I went with my boyfriend and he and I shared an appetizer, each had a main meal, and three beers between us and the bill was $66. Come on where are you gonna get a price like that down the shore? So not only is the food very affordable, it is so good. Honestly, it's one of the best chicken parm in the area, sometimes, yes I'm admitting this, I crave it. I've eaten there now probably eight or 10 times and I've only not enjoyed my meal once. Their pizza is also pretty darn good and on Mondays they've got a special. During the nicer weather months, you can even sit outside on the patio and dine outside. Parking is limited in there a lot, but don't worry there's plenty of street parking around for now. If you can't tell by now, I really love this place!

It's truly one of the "last of the Mohicans"--a classic, old-school Italian joint that you just don't see much anymore. I'm not knocking the new, modern restaurants and their creative concepts, but if you're looking for a really good, affordable Italian dinner in a great atmosphere, this is your spot. The moment you walk in, it feels timeless, which only adds to the charm. They have great live music most nights, the owners and staff are incredibly friendly, and the wine bottles are very reasonably priced. It's tucked into a unique, up-and-coming neighborhood that's a mix of industrial and residential (with some really nice new condos being built). If you want a great night out with good music, good people, and delicious food without breaking the bank, you need to check this place out.
