    Large plain pie from Maria's in Point Pleasant, NJ

    My go-to pizza place. Best in town. Regular plain pies have a crust on the thinner side and are cooked with a just a hint of char on the crust. Never received a bad pie from here. There's no tables - it's take out or delivery. Service is always great.

    This was my first time trying Maria's. I gave the Fat Chuckie a try and I was NOT disappointed. So good! Very filling! Was able to eat half and save the rest for lunch the next day. If you're hungry and looking for something different, give this a try.

    The best vegetarian pizza in and out of town! Toppings are: mushroom, tomato, spinach, peppers, onions, and eggplant.

    Not sure how to rate this place since one review from 2 miss ago says it's under new ownership.* I haven't been there in a while so if it is I need to try it before leaving an update, which would have read... Shout-out! to the owner here... How about offering a vegan cheese option? "Veganism" is on the rise so it would attract more customers . . . setting you apart from the rest. *I'm only leaving 3 in hopes of the owner clarifying it's ownership and recognition of my vegan request.

    One of the best pizza places in Ocean County. Their thin crust Sicilian pie is absolutely out of this world. They also make amazing subs!!

    Between this place and Nana's for the best pizza in town. If you want good pizza stay away from Pudgy's, The Pizza Stand, and Spano's.

    Best pizza by far in the Brick- Point area. Ridiculously good Sicilian with rich sauce and nice crispy crust. Very friendly staff.

    Is this the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to?…read more Actually, yes, it is. And I have been to a lot of Italian restaurants. The wait for a table was 45 minutes, but it was worth every minute. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was wonderful. We ended up being seated in a back patio room and though it was very hot outside (one of those 100 degree days last summer), it was actually very nice in there. The show started with someone asking for our drink order, then coming back with said drinks. After that she brought out some starts on the house, courtesy of chef and owner Joe. We were off to a great start! Soon after she returned to get our dinner order. After that, Chef Joe himself showed up to our table to thank us for visiting his restaurant and ask how we liked things so far. We let him know those starters were perfect...eggplant balls and a corn/tomato salad. Eventually our dinner came. Both dishes were waaaaaaaay more food than either of us expected. I had ordered chicken with mozzarella squares on top and drizzled in balsamic, which was a special created by Chef Joe's wife, according to the menu. My partner got eggplant parm...and wow, what a pile of food it was. Two huge eggplant pieces piled high with delicious sauce and served with some delectable pasta. Chef Joe came back to the dining room awhile later to ask people how their entrees were, and we let him know this was a great experience. I want to go back to Point Pleasant just to get here again. This time I will make a reservation.

    What an experience! Spano's is exactly what you'd want an Italian restaurant to be. The food is…read moreamazing. The customer service is exceptional. The ambiance is perfection. The night started with Joe Spano, the owner, stopping at our table to bring several little dishes before we even had a chance to look at the menu. The meatballs (made with actually no meat but rather eggplant) were pure sorcery...like so good there aren't words. He noticed our wine bottle (it's BYOB so come prepared!), and by pure coincidence, it was his favorite bottle. Joe asked to show another costumer because they had been discussing wines earlier, and he wanted to make sure they got to see the label. If that wasn't personal enough, the walls are adorned with black and white framed photographs of family from back in the day to the present. The environment is clean, well-maintained, and cozy. Every bite we had was exceptional and the portions were huge! We left contently full but with plenty of leftovers. I'm quite sure every meal will exceed the expectations of even the pickiest of eaters. Our server, Brian (or Bryan) was new but attentive and informative. He spent time talking with his tables and being personable while also making sure everyone was taking care of. Overall, I highly recommend experiencing a meal at Spano's at least once....but after your first bite, you'll likely be making your next reservation before you leave (like we saw many people do)!
