Mia's Pizza Restaurant

10/24/25 - Watching New York Rangers hockey in 2025 will drive you to comfort food. So off I went…read moreto another pizzeria. Today's stop was a place in Sayreville, NJ called Mia's Pizza Restaurant. Mia's is located in a strip mall at the corner of Bordentown Av. and Jernee Mill Road. Normally, when you look at a front window of a restaurant and see two different varieties of food, you should run away. Mia's boasts both Italian and Mexican food. What I've learned thru the years is, if you say you can make great Mexican food and great Italian food, then you can't make great anything. I ordered one plain slice and one sausage slice and hoped for the best. I was actually optimistic because every table in this place was taken. The good: Both the outer crust and undercarriage were spectacular. Crispy, crunchy and stood up perfectly with no limpness whatsoever. The crust is not dry at all. And the slices are big. Thank goodness I ordered a sausage slice as the sausage added a flavor punch that these slices badly needed. The problems: the sauce is pretty bland. It has a slight hint of basil flavor but there was no other Italian seasoning flavors that I could taste or even see. It also wouldn't hurt if they used a bit more sauce. The cheese is premium but like the sauce, they could use a bit more of it. There isn't a menu in sight. They have a menu board above the front counter. There are no prices on it however. If you aren't going to put out paper menus, then you really need to put prices on the menu board so your customers don't get unpleasant surprises. As much as I wanted to like this place, it just doesn't cut it. They do nothing to differentiate themselves from the stiff local competition. Overall Rating: C

I ordered the Stromboli and the guy asked me what I would like in it. He handmade each one which was surprising to me for such a little hole in the wall spot. I chose to have mine with meatballs, broccoli and spinach. It took about 15 minutes but I got a huge, piping hot cheese filled bread along with the fillings I selected. It was pretty good I must say and add only $7 then just $.95 for each topping it was well worth it.

They're an Italian restaurant with a good selection of dishes to meat various diets: salads, pastas, meat dishes, etc. The food was also pretty good, and service was fine. Better Italian food can be found in NJ, not too far away, but the location, quality and price point served our purposes. The servings are generous. I had the "Sunday Supper" (pasta served with red sauce, braciole, sausages, meatballs, and ribs), which I shared with my husband, and even so we had plenty to take home for another meal! I found the decor unusual in that there was a noticeable religious motif. In fact, a life size statue of the a Virgin Mary stood in the corner behind our table observing our little reunion. Odd for a restaurant, but it made for some fun comparing of notes afterwards.

After…read morewatching my old softball team get eliminated and then learning of the untimely passing of Nick Mangold, I was in need of good comfort food. The place is cute and spotlessly clean and I read a lot of great reviews online so I was very optimistic going in. I went with a plain slice and a Sicilian slice and my daughter went with two grandma slices. The plain slice was very large. It is a very thin pie that has a delightful outer crust. The outer crust is both crispy and moist. The undercarriage was a little bit limp and you would definitely have to fold the outer crust to eat it. I would be ok with that if it had a nice flavor punch but the sauce was somewhat flavorless and lacking Italian seasonings. Premium cheese is used here but with bland sauce, the damage is done. The Sicilian slice is very thick and you would expect it to be heavy but it is surprisingly very light. The outer crust and undercarriage are both crunchy, moist and delicious. Im not sure they let it ferment enough because it did have Sicilian flavors but not quite enough of it. And the sauce again is way too light on Italian seasonings. I was all ready to write a bad review until my daughter insisted I try a bite of her grandma slice. And it was SPECTACULAR. Tangy sauce with premium cheese and an abundance of Italian seasonings. The crust is crunchy and stood firm with no droop at all. And the slice itself is a flavor explosion. If you want to go and try it yourself, the grandma slice is definitely the way to go. Overall, it's a mixed bag here. The prices are really good here but I'd gladly pay up for a better seasoned slice. Overall Rating: B-

Dirty tables. And the deathknell, it was completely empty. Fast forward to 2025.... the place has a new owner and a brand new dining area. And it's wonderful! The pizza is in the neopolitan style. It's crispy and flavorful. The cheese tastes premium. Great sauce. The sausage is not cut-rate. They have completely turned this place around. And the dining room had a lot of people in it enjoying the food. If you are in the Parlin area, it's definitely worth your time. So my daughter told me that I need to start rating these places. I hesitate to do so because I dont want to be compared to that other guy who in my opinion is a complete nasal drip. I review places for one reason.... out of love for the products. I love stadiums.

From the outside, it looks just average. And sometimes you really can judge a book by its cover. The pluses: the price is right, here. They definitely try to undercut their competitors. Their pies are the neopolitan style I grew up with so there's that. And it looks pretty good too. The minuses: Bland, bland and more bland. I had a sausage and onions slice and a white slice. The sausage had very little flavor. I suspect they use a less expensive brand because it is average at best. Thank goodness for the onions because without that, this review would be a lot worse. The white slice had zero flavor. It's literally mozzarella and ricotta and nothing more. I put the box in a hot trunk which is my secret to keeping food hot bringing it home. I got home, opened box and dug right in. It was luke warm at best. If you can't get the reheating process right, it makes me wonder where else are you taking shortcuts?

Fresh. Good quality. Too many places charge 9-10 dollars for small half subs. We decided we would order an eggplant Parmesan hero. I was not disappointed. It was loaded with piping hot, freshly fried, eggplant and loaded with cheese and sauce. Both my husband and I were thrilled. We hoped it wasn't a fluke so after a few more times of trying them, we were still satisfied. I will say one day I ordered a cheesesteak for pick up and the normal cook must have been off. The sandwich was lacking steak... it had a thin layer. Since this only happened once, I'll chalk it up to a rough shift and leave it at that. Mostly, we had been enjoying their hot subs because no one around here had a good one (not even Krispy). We spent the last 6 months or so trying hot subs. Every time they were very good. We were apprehensive about trying their pizza, since We already know where to get a really good pie. Finally, we decided to try a pizza and a Stromboli. The eggplant Stromboli was soft and amazing. The dough felt like it was just made. I loved it. We ordered their traditional works pizza. It was good. Frankly, I'll have to order another pie to give you a better review. I'm still dreaming of the Stromboli. I don't know if my lack of opinion reflects a mediocre pizza or a fantastic Stromboli but I promise I'll update when I order another one.
