Nice sized menu, prices are friendly and service is quick and staff is nice. Cant speak of the interior as we did take out but the dinners we had were excellent. Fresh, portion sizes are generous and the Sauce is smooth and bright with a subtle sweetness. The Chicken Saltimbocca was a home run, nice wilted spinach and Prosciutto over Chicken breasts in a wine sauce. The Shrimp Parm dinner had a nice amount of Shrimo and a good amount of cheese! Will definitely be coming back for more and also to try the Pizza. read more

Another place I went to after seeing a one bite review, and I personally think the pizza is a lot better than the score it was given! Always have to get a plain slice as the base to judge off of and their plain slice was amazing. Then also got a pepperoni Margherita slice which was recommended by the guy working the counter and that was a great option. Small old school joint that definitely gets busy on Friday and Saturdays in the fall for Rutgers games! Employees were all super nice and helpful and asked what I thought of the pizza. They chatted with me a lot about the history of the place and all the good specialty slices they have that are a little different than normal pizza places. Definitely recommend stopping in and trying one of their specialty slices! read more

Very high prices, not really worth the inflated price. $23 dollars and change for a cheese steak sandwich is just too much. Considering the current other good pizza restaurant around. read more

7/6/25 - I've lived in Central NJ since 2002. I must have driven by Maria's Pizza and Subs in Milltown, NJ a few hundred times but never stopped. Until today. We got a large pepperoni and a large spinach artichoke. I heard that the pizza there was super thin and crispy. This was not my experience. Our pies although on the thinner side definitely have more substantial dough than other thin crust pizzas I've sampled. I've learned that dining in is the way to go from a deliciousness factor. But this place is so tiny inside so I opted for take out. The pies are reasonably priced and they are delicious. There's ample parking in the back. Friendly staff. Fast service. And the family loved em. I'll be back. Overall Rating: B+ read more

It's been an hour waiting for a pie for pickup. The pizza here is so mid. Why would a Margherita pie take so long? Is it coming directly from Italy? Going back to Francescos for my pizza cravings. read more

I had to just note that this some of the best mussels marinara that I've had! A must.

I wanted to love this pizza place, I really did. When we first moved into town 5 years ago, we thought this was a pretty good place.. but then it went downhill in my opinion. We ordered a bar pie with pepperoni the other day. When we got home and opened it, I thought someone was playing a joke. There was minimal pepperoni on the pizza; I wouldn't even call it a pepperoni pizza at that point. It was nice and thin and crispy, but very disappointing when it came to the pepperoni. read more

The spinach and artichoke pizza is flavor packed and delicious- definitely a pizza to try. We ordered it well done so it was extra toasty. The bolognese sauce was perfect, loved the dollops of ricotta, the perfect touch. Service was faster than expected on a busy night. Small inside so haven't eaten inside, but great spot for takeout. Would recommend! read more

Great food, friendly staff and always helpful. Small dining area but great for quick bite.

Went to Maria's with my favorite pizza buddy and per usual, they never miss a shot. They have outdoor seating -which is where we posted. Clean and overlooking the busy Main St. We had a plain pie but nothing of it was plain. In fact it was hot, cheesy, crispy and full of flavor. Maria's is your typical mom and pop authentic pizzeria that everyone relies on when they want to feel at home. The staff is always busy, but friendly and swift. If you're ever in the mood to slow down and enjoy life, stop in and have a slice or two at Maria's. Oh and do yourself a favor and order their superb Thai Chili Wings -they are not the wingettes either. The wings are cooked to perfection every time! read more

I have to be honest. The food here is not even mediocre. I ordered a large cheese pie and garlic knots. The large pie seemed to be the same size as a dominos medium pie. The pie was so small and thin I didn't even think it was in the box when I picked it up. The sauce and cheese were very bland. There was no taste to the pie at all. The garlic knots looked like croissants and were very bland as well. The pizzeria looked nice and the staff was very friendly. I personally won't be ordering from here again. read more

Tried a few things here and can honestly say, they are consistent with their food quality. Last time I tried the Big Mac pizza, that was different. Not bad. Good cheese pies and chef salad. read more

Got takeout from Maria's tonight while visiting my Family in central NJ. Ordered around 7 pm and our food was ready right on time for pick up 25 minutes later. We ordered a grandma pie with pepperoni and a medium white pie. The grandma pie wasn't as crispy as I hoped when we first brought it home, but after keeping it in the oven for 20 minutes or so, it got crispier. The sauce was good and lots of pepperoni. At first glance, the white pie just seemed like a solid cheese layer; I'm used to white pies with blobs of fresh ricotta throughout. It was pretty tasty though, again after keeping it in oven for a bit to get crispier and warm the cheese. I'd give this place a solid 3.5 stars. Good pizza for the cost. A little oily. read more

This place has had its ups and downs over the years, but lately it just gets worse and worse. I've been giving them another chance as I said in my previous review, but now they've really hit rock bottom. I don't know why they are so busy, but they are totally unable to handle the volume, and when that happens you can be sure the quality and the service both tank. It's not the first time I've had bad service there, but this really takes the cake. We were told 35 minutes, so fine, we went at 35. Well, it wasn't until 60 minutes that we got our food. Completely and totally unacceptable. They were happy to make us pay for food that they hadn't even started preparing yet. Was it worth the wait? Let's see... soggy fries, completely bland eggplant parm. The pizza? Well, not the worst but definitely nothing special. You can get the same quality or better at any of the nearby places, and without double the wait time. My previous visit I got half mushroom. Yikes... it was jarred or canned mushrooms, a sure sign of a second rate pizza place. It was total garbage. Like they dumped half a jar without even draining it first. That half didn't cook properly, besides the fact that it wasn't fresh mushrooms. Mushroom pizza is my fav, but this has turned me off of it for a long time, even if is available fresh some other place (you known like ANY pizza place with an ounce of integrity would provide). At least tell us it's not fresh mushrooms when we order it... you know, like you should tell people it will be an hour, not 35 minutes, and have them waiting around doing nothing for all that time. Such baloney. Oh, and FYI they always charge a little more than what's listed on the flier they JUST mailed out. So, a ripoff, bad quality, and bad service. No more chances. Never again. read more

Worst place to order from. The guy who answered the phone didn't really speak English and got my whole wrong! How do you send a piece of bread and just lettuce tomato and mayo with no meat either no meat!!! When I ordered Italian meat on it! read more

Pizza was fair at best I was disappointed and actually did not even eat my slice of the pie my family said it was good Not great but good It was ready on time and staff were eating when I got there so had to wait a few minutes for them to finish up my opinion they should take turns so someone can focus on the customers read more

Upon arrival it was a little chilly but it became clear why- the ovens were pumping out pizzas left and right! We ordered three bar pies. Sausage, pepperoni and regular. Nice char. No flop. Very tasty. I was extremely impressed with the owner's knowledge of pizza. He's very passionate about his craft and I truly respect it. The very sweet woman working behind the counter was my kinda gal, "Three of those slices equals one real slice." It felt really good supporting this local pizzeria. We highly recommend. read more

Recommended 100% I catered for my baby shower and everyone absolutely loved the food. The salad and pastas were fresh. The chicken parmigiana was to die for. Apart from catering, I order lunch from work regularly and the pizza is great. One of the best pizzerias around. & everyone is so friendly. Love it. read more

I have been going to Marias since it was opened by Vinny of Vinnies in East Brunswick. Vinny opened Vinnies Pizza of East Brunswick in 1976 and sold it in the 90's to Kareem who changed his name to Vincent and Vinny moved his pizza shop to Milltown and called it Maria's, after his wife. Somewhere along the line, i moved out of town and this is where my knowledge of the story ends. Until last Night, when i returned to town and was looking for pizza. I guess vinny is now gone and new owners have taken over. And while I loved Vinnys pizza, I must say these new guys are really killing it. I placed a fairly large order, two pies one regular, one bar pie, calzone with ham, a Stromboli and a salad and was really happy with the food. The calzone came with mozzarella and ricotta cheese, we asked for him inside and it was plentiful. The outside crunchy and brown, the inside was hot, cheesy and salty. A really delicious rendition and for 8 or 10 bucks, a value. Their pizza is the best in the area for sure. Having recently tried a few other spots in town, from Mancini's to Pascual's brick oven, this was a clear winner. Salad is probably the least successful thing we had as well as the stromboli. We added a mod so I think we might've messed up that order, but face between getting a calzone or a Stromboli, I will get a calzone every time. I wish we had ordered the chicken Parm as well. When I returned home I felt badly as they had given me an extra pizza. I wasn't going to return it as they would've just thrown it out. So we packed it up and I have a bunch of frozen pizza. They were so busy last night, the wait was about an hour but, the people answering the phone conveyed this to me. I want to be there as the food came out of the oven and showed up 10 minutes early and they were pretty on point with the time they gave me. I was able to watch as the people were preparing the food and it's pie that came out better and better. Staff was masked, most of the idiot customers were not. There's no doubt this is the best pizza in the area. I highly recommend it. read more

Food is good as always ... but today I screwed up and ordered through GrubHub. Make sure you never use GrubHub that only do they charge more but they just drop the food at your steps and leave my food was outside for over an hour. No one called and said anything. Make sure you're ordering direct from Maria's read more

Great pizza, my favorite is the bar pie. Nice thin crust with perfect char on the back.

Easy, decent, and convenient for local pizza delivery. Delivery is slow but be patient. The pizza is good but everything else on the menu is just okay. Their appetizers do not rock my world and the tortellini soup they offer is solid but just okay. For future orders I will just get their pizza. It tastes good and is fresh. That is all you need. If the pizza is good, it is worth ordering from there again. Krispy is still the best in the area, but Maria's is a solid followup. read more

Tried this place for the first time today. Pizza was delicious. Wasn't soggy. Great flavor. Thin crust. We also ordered the Toscana salad with grilled chicken. Chicken had great flavor. Salad had candied walnuts, gorgonzola, onions, and mixed greens. Restsurant is clean. Staff is friendly. Outside eating area too. Large lot for parking in back. read more

Excellent food! The baked ziti was perfectly tender with plenty of sauce and cheese. The chicken parm is to die for! Most chicken bursting with flavor.

Maria's Pizza & Subs - Jumbo wings! So big, meaty and juicy.....two fill me up. Buttery garlic knots. So good! - Pizza Near Me - Milltown, New Jersey

It seems as if their pizzas, calzones and strombolis are their main focus. Their appetizers are good too (the buffalo calamari is the bomb) but disappointed in their entree dishes. The spaghetti bolognese sauce looked almost like a vodka sauce with not a ton of meat. Bolognese is usually less pink and heavy on the meat. For paying $10.99, I was expecting more meat in the sauce. The meatballs recipe needs to be completely changed. I get better meatballs at Sbarro's, which is not saying a lot. I pretty much judge any "Italian" place by their meatballs. If this was the test, they failed. Not a lot of seasoning and the texture is odd - almost like there's meat filler. Service was good. Not a bad spot for pizza and apps but be wary when ordering the entrees and don't waste your time on the meatballs. read more

Pizza aficionados better put this place on their radar. Plenty of specialty pies to choose from but the drunken roni (crispy fried pepperoni, vodka sauce, and fresh mozzarella) really delivers for me. Beyond pizza, they offer a good variety of focaccia sandwiches, which are all excellent. You will also find the prices to be reasonable especially considering the quality. Top this all off with an excellent staff... definitely worth trying! read more

Maria's Pizza & Subs is located along the main street of the quaint, little town of Milltown. The restaurant gives me the old-school, family owned vibe that I really love in a neighborhood pizzeria. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. I really enjoyed the pizza! I decided to go with a slice of plain and a slice with vodka sauce. The plain slice was good. It had a light, thin base which was soft rather than crispy. The crust had a pleasant, bakery bread flavor. The sauce and cheese were both quite good and applied with a good ratio. The vodka slice was excellent. It featured a delicious, creamy, cheesy sauce with fresh mozzarella and delicious, fresh basil. I would definitely return for more pizza! read more

It's good pizza! I had both the bar pie and the regular pie. If you are in Milltown then you should have pizza here.

Went last night for the first time and I was very pleased with the pizza. It was crispy and delicious. Probably the best in the area . I live in edison and I definitely will head to Milltown for my pizza. Staff was very friendly! read more

Great pizza, friendly, efficient service. Pickup orders always ready on time. And they have not raised their prices since COVID, unlike many other places. Only problem we ever had was with the "SLICE" app - more about that later. The Rustica pie is as good as it gets - loaded with sausage slices, roasted red peppers, red onion, the most delicious Gaeta olives (whole, not sliced), and fresh moz. Check out their menu for some additional very creative, original pies. Example of the kind people you are dealing with at Maria's - ordered through SLICE. On opening pickup order at home, plain pie, rather than the works. Called Maria's and they apologized and offered to replace, but we decided to eat what we got - we were hungry and it smelled so great. Maria's IMMEDIATELY sent SLICE the credit for the wrong pie, PLUS a generous courtesy amount. Emailed me a copy of the SLICE refund transaction. Unfortunately SLICE chose not to pay or credit the refund. After waiting a week I called SLICE, told them about the problem. SLICE claimed they didn't even have a record of the original purchase.... odd because I had a confirmation copy. SLICE insisted I had to send them proof of the original purchase transaction from my credit card records. Told them to pound salt - they have an accounting problem, gave them 48 hours to straighten it out. After time was up, I posted a 1-star review on Google against SLICE. That lit a fire, and after a few more days I received my credit. Short story - call Maria's and place your order. That way SLICE doesn't take a cut from the purchaser, and a cut from the business. Skip the crooks at SLICE. THANK YOU Roz. read more
