No one knows what really happens, but I will say that that owner looks out of control. Regardless of the situation, she should know lost her composure. With that being said, no one should be bashing this business she's human and she made a mistake. Not a big deal. She should still be able to make a living. That video should have never been posted. I'm giving three stars just because she deserves a chance and I ate there before. Her pizza was good. They are unpleasant but it was good. Maybe not worth $45 but I also didn't pay that time. Someone else did so I wasn't even aware how expensive it was read more

47.00 for a PIZZA not a Filet Mignon, not a dinner a friggin PIZZA. I also seen a story and video of an employee berating a customer over cutting a birthday cake for a 5 year old. Wouldn't ever eat here read more

The owner is clearly having a mental health crisis in the presence of customers. Many restaurants permit patrons to bring in a cake to celebrate. It is insane to see a business owner becoming completely unhinged in the middle of the establishment, humiliating a patron who asked for a knife. They should be thrilled to have the paying customers choose to visit their business and thinking if a way to make it extra special. Throw some candles on that kids pizza or give him garlic knots with a candle... instead they chose to humiliate and yell at a parent whose 5 year old wanted to enjoy a family meal for their birthday there. There is NO WAY I would ever re command any e eat here. This person is unglued and experiencing some sort of crisis. Regardless, the customer service is awful and the pricing is excessive. read more

Very difficult to get any of the employees to agree on what menu items are vegetarian and what isn't. For these prices they should have a separate menu all worked out. Even offer some vegan options? [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere in this place is very tense when you ask for answers to questions that should be easy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My future grandmother in law lives in Manasquan so there are a bunch of pizza spots between there and Point Pleasant that we like to go to. This won't be one of them. The employees/owners are rude and create a hostile eating environment for the rest of the diners. Find another pizza spots between- there's plenty to choose from! read more

Sorry I don't care what happened the owner yelling at a 5 year olds parents and deliberately ruining their experience is out of hand! So sick of the lack of customer service today and we pay exorbitant prices! read more

Based on the Facebook video and the family's description of what happened, the owner's reaction seemed completely unprofessional. If they really called ahead, got permission to bring a birthday cake, and then were treated that way over asking for a knife, that's a terrible way to handle paying customers--especially during a child's birthday celebration. Watching the interaction alone would make me think twice before dining there. Hopefully the owner reflects on how customers should be treated. read more

Treating people with respect would be a start .Giving respect to kids and parents for a pizza joint is probably an important part of the restaurant read more

Pizza not great and customer service even worse. There's two other spots to get pizza on the boardwalk which I'll try next time.

I tried eating here the other day. The food was horrible and the staff were so rude. Not a great experience.

Awful, pathetic customer service. Video of owner/employee yelling at family for asking for knife to cut their 5yr olds birthday cake!! Our birthday traditions in my family are always to go to dinner with family and take a small cake to celebrate and we've never had any issues or have been treated like this family was. It's disgusting read more

Nasty attitude from owner and food is way overrated and over priced. Will not be returning!

Incredibly unkind towards children in their establishment. Even with prior authorization and conversation, the owner goes back on their word and screams at customers when she doesn't get her way. read more

The food was extremely overpriced and didn't taste good at all. I won't ever come back and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone

I would NEVER eat here again. the cleaning supplies being right NEXT to where they prep the pizza is disgusting. I said something and the owner decided to start calling me names. horrible, unprofessional, NEVER again. read more

Joey Tomato's - cleaning supples next to prep station .. - Pizza Near Me - Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

The older female that works there could use a few hospitality lessons. She is not the most welcoming. I'd skip and head down to a another stand. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The air conditioning is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Get control of your staff. In this day and age, you think it's wise to scream at customers about bringing in a cake for a party? How dare you treat patrons like that. Your pizza is garbage by the way. Typical overpriced, boardwalk cardboard. read more

Pizza is just ok and like everything on boarded way over priced. After the video surfaced they're gonna need some PR help to clean this up.

I've been here before pizza is mediocre at best, and what is now viral is common at this establishment. Owner needs work

The owner has mental issues and started screaming at me and said she wanted to come eat at my house. It was crazy, food wasn't good and way overpriced, $50 a pizza is too extreme for me! read more

Do you want to get berated for trying to enjoy your child's birthday over glorified cardboard pizza? YES? THEN THIS IS YOUR PLACE!

Come to Joey Tomato's where our terrible overpriced food is surpassed only by our even worse customer service. read more

To the owner: Was it really worth it to get so many now hating your business? Over a cake? I have to ask, after seeing the owner's behavior, who really was the 5 year old here? read more

Sticker shock. Way overpriced and so are others in the area. That being said it's not very good pizza as Jersey goes. If you were in Georgia it would be acceptable. Get off the boards travel a few blocks for much better pies. read more

What awful service. Definitely not the place to eat pizza if you plan on celebrating a kid's birthday. They would rather you seek out other pizza places for birthday celebrations. read more

Went for the pizza, left with a headache from an obnoxious/RUDE female employee...not too sure why anyone would subject themselves to overpriced, basic pizza with a side of verbal abuse...garbage. read more

Would never go here again after seeing the way a customer was treated for asking for a knife to cut a 5 year old's birthday cake. Thats NOT an unreasonable request. The customer said they called, but even if they didn't, you yell at them like that? You lost our family as customers, I don't go out to eat to get yelled at, or to watch someone else get yelled at for a simple request read more

Owner was yelling at a customer being extremely rude and condescending, all over a child's birthday party. The guests asked for a knife to cut their child's cake and the owner went on a tangent. Not sure about yall, but this kind of behavior makes me want to never eat here. Shame on the staff, shame on the owner. Terrible customer service. read more

Service was horrible and I couldn't believe how expensive their bad pizza was, horrible. And the loud female boss was so over the top. Woodshed or Rosie's next time for my family. read more

Disgusting attitude towards the family of a 5 year old for bringing a birthday cake and asking for a knife to cut it with. Absolutely shameful. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS. read more

THE GOOD ---------------- + Pizza is wayyyyyyyy better than expected for "Boardwalk" pizza + Hawaiian Chicken pizza might be the BEST Hawaiian pizza I have everrrrr tasted. All of the flavors (ham, pineapple) of the ingredients really hit the spot + Mushroom pizza was excellent too - was more like a truffle mushroom flavor if you're into that + Plain and Pepperoni pizzas were decent, but nothing out of the ordinary + They offer interesting toppings for some slices - mac and cheese, baked ziti + [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] + They have souvenirs too, specifically hats and t-shirts with the name of the place, for only $10 THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Pizza is on the verrry pricey side (but pretty much expected for the boardwalk) - $5.75 for cheese, $6.75 for one topping, $7.50 for gourmet topping, $7.75 for specialty topping - Prices for drinks are not listed on the menu, so make sure to ask read more

Occasionally good Pizza spoiled by Unhinged owner. Took my grandmother to celebrate her 101 birthday and I brought in my own cupcake. The owner was so Nasty that I had my own Cupcake and yelled at me and my Grandma. My grandmother cried and she is now in therapy due to the cruel owner. The owner needs to take a Chill Pill. And based on years of awful Google reviews being nasty to customers is the way they do business. read more

I was here for a 5 year olds birthday & the owner was yelling at us for coming there to have a party. I guess we should all go elsewhere if we want to enjoy a meal or celebration. read more

went there to celebrate my nephew's birthday. Spemt $250 on pies and asked for a knife to cut the birthday cake. Karen, the owner, went ballistic and threw us out. Avoid this dump at all costs. read more

Awesome job getting yourselves cancelled!!! Ruining a 5 year old's birthday over a cake being brought in is absolutely despicable! With the owner's attitude, the place deserves all of these negative reviews! read more

Really good pizza but totally overpriced. Shameful they take advantage of people by overcharging.

Food is definitely not worth the price or the peace. Pizza isn't great and the manager/owner is unprofessional at best. So many better options on the boardwalk...don't waste your time and money here. read more

Nasty owner, terrible customer service. A party was told over the phone they could bring a cake for a 5 year olds birthday, and the owner after the party spent $250 on 4 pizzas (actually insane prices also) threw a fit and told them "what if I came to your house and showed up with a cake?" Lady you're a damn restaurant, which is a public area. Acting like a c u n t over a birthday cake for a 5 YEAR OLD is scumbag activity. She definitely fits the New Jersey stereotype. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Terrible environment and seating situation also[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], read more
