Super attentive too. They have a parking lot and a cute outdoor setup as well. The pizza is delicious, sauce is perfectly sweet and savory. The crust was delectable. Nice amount of cheese. Really no complaints. I regret not getting more garlic knots, they're fried and garlicky and perfect. Don't skip the garlic knots if you come here!

It was extremely loud and annoying, even though the dining room is pretty and rustic. It truly put a damper on our meal. The food was great! We started with white garlic clams which were excellent! The sauce, full of slices of garlic, was worth dipping the bread in!!! I had the chicken balsamic which was excellent, with a slight sweetness with the tang of the balsamic. My husband had a veal dish with red peppers, melted mozzarella over a pasta in a pesto sauce. Also excellent. The service was really good. I would have given this place a five but the banging didn't stop!

I have been to Slice House Toms River several times. I really like it. This pizzeria on 37 has…read moreenough room for casual eat in after counter ordering. SH does a large takeout and delivery business as well as the store ordering. Parking is easy out front. The place is clean and service is good. It is a bustling place at times with young people running the front. The pizzeria boasts many, many selections of by the slice as well as a menu of pies to order whole. Lots of add ins and drinks both bottled and fountain style. The pizza is tasty. It is served hot. I especially like a cheese pie but found their specialty pies like the cheesesteak & chicken parm pizza delicious also. The cheesesteak in particular tastes like a breakfast pizza due to its cheese, cheesesteak that is seasoned like sausage and it's white cheese sans sauce. It would be over the top great with sautéed onions, mushrooms and green peppers on it. The chicken parm with red sauce and chunks of chicken with yummy cheese is also tasty. They have salads, Stromboli, sandwiches, garlic knots etc to add on. I really like the entree Caesar salad. The dressing is good and the lettuce is fresh. It comes with toasty bread. I will continue to frequent this quintessential Toms River pizzeria as it checks all the boxes

Throw some hot honey on this pie, it is perfect. Almost perfect... just a bit of garlic crust would make this unstoppable. :) Will absolutely be ordering again!

Well, that's how I feel about STR PIZZA! ~I don't own it, I don't know the owners...my friend and I hear they are new Italian/Pizza restaurant and that they are having a special this week of $1.25/slice...so off we went to have lunch there today. Wow! I have owned restaurants in New York City, and I'm telling you that every single thing about this restaurant is excellent. For the minute we walked in we were greeted so warmly and comfortably at the door. We were given menus and sat down to go over what we wanted to have. We each got two slices, I also got the eggplant Parmesan platter, and my friend got the chicken Caesar salad. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, large selection of beverages, all the classic Italian favorites plus some really cool menu items like Big Mac pizza and the General Tso's chicken pizza. Every little detail is done right...the way young woman at the front counter brought us our flatware wrapped up so nicely and was so friendly and helpful and warm she made us feel completely at home. The plates and bowls are really beautiful...and the food? Omg! The pizza is absolutely delicious! Eggplant Parm platter came with my choice of pasta (I chose angel hair) and a large delicious salad...the platter is so yummy and big and fresh and just loaded with cheese and delicious sauce! Same with my friends Cesar Chicken salad. My friend couldn't believe I ate the whole platter of the eggplant Parm, but it was so delicious. There was no way I was not gonna finish it! On one side, they have a big party room where you can help family events, school events, and parties. Even the bathrooms are classy! On the other side they have a really sweet singing room which happens to be decorated for Valentines Day! So sweet! Its an amazing place! We can't wait to go back. Take my advice, you're gonna LOVE it!

If you're anywhere near South Toms River and haven't tried STR Pizza, you're seriously missing out…read more I stopped by on a busy Saturday night to pick up an order, and let me tell you--this place is doing things RIGHT. I ordered the Grandpa Pie (house-made vodka sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil - $26), and it was absolutely to die for. This is hands down the only spot in the area that's clearly using real, fresh ingredients instead of cutting corners. You can taste the difference in every bite. The vodka sauce had that perfect rich, velvety flavor, the mozzarella was fresh and creamy, and the basil brought everything together. And the crust? Textbook perfect--crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside. It's the kind of pie that makes you stop mid-bite and appreciate life for a second. My girlfriend ordered the Veal Marsala dinner ($24.95). It comes with a side salad and a little bit of bread. The veal itself was cooked well--tender and not overdone--but the flavor was a little on the mild side. It felt like it needed a touch more salt or an extra layer of seasoning to really make it pop. Still enjoyable, just not a standout the way the pizza was. The place was clean, the staff was friendly, and you could tell they were hustling--super busy night, yet everyone kept a great attitude. I can't personally speak on delivery since I picked up, but while waiting I chatted with a couple of regulars who said the delivery is always quick. Overall, STR Pizza earned every bit of this 5-star review. The quality, the atmosphere, the service--everything shows they take pride in their food. I'll definitely be back, and that Grandpa Pie just made its way into my top favorites in Ocean County.
