I ordered a carnivore pie, garlic knots, and a salad. I would not vote this the best pizza in the area (Manalapan, Marlboro, Monroe). I ordered through DoorDash which was convenient. I am not sure if the pricing is inflated, but with some discounts I had the price was reasonable for our area. The house salad was good. Most of the greens looked fresh and the mozzarella had a nice flavor. The carnivore pizza was greasy, but that is expected for pepperoni, sausage and meatball. The garlic knots were not to my satisfaction. It could have been the dough sat and became dense. But it could be there recipe which some people find appetizing. The staff behind the counter helped me quickly. I did not pay much attention to the interior, but it felt small. read more

Absolutely Delcious thin crust. Highly recommend! Service was great. Friendly and food was FRESH read more

Hey how you doin!!! This pizza joint is on point!!! Thin and crispy the way my uncle Joey used to do it out in Brooklyn. Grande cheese and fresh mushrooms, can't go wrong. Service is quick, attentive and friendly. The ambiance is just right for your local pizza joint. read more

Just tried Meli's for the first time. LOVED the pizza. Did take out. Delicious crust. Will definitely order from them again. Not too thin and just the right amount of crispy. Though I could have gone thinner and crispier but this was perfect anyhow. It's not paper thin and the crust is delicous. For my kids that prefer a traditional pie they were happily surprised how much they liked this. read more

Great pizza! If you're looking for something a bit different this place has it. They also offer wide variety of gourmet pizzas. read more

It was thin, but not so crispy. My jaw definitely got a work-out going through the bbq hot honey chicken- the crust that is there is chewy. That said, the pizza was tasty, and I liked the bbq sauce, but the chicken was bland. I'd go for something else, but wouldn't order this again. Also, almost $30/pie for thin crust is pricey. read more

Pizza was so good! Love a good thin and crispy pizza. Place was packed, nice and clean would definetly recommend this place.

I have to give this a mixed review for several reasons. The first time we ordered for pick-up, we ended up waiting an extra hour. The clam pie was disappointing--dry and fishy, and didn't really taste like clam. The pie with beans and escarole was flavorful, but extremely soggy. Tonight, we decided to try the plain pie, a bar pie with 1/2 burrata, and a spinach calzone. * The plain pie had a nice, crunchy crust and was tasty overall, but the sauce and cheese were missing in some areas, leaving giant clumps. * The bar pie had good flavor, but the crust was soggy, and there was so much cheese that each bite felt heavy. * The calzone was good. One other note: the pizzas are advertised as 16", but the slices seemed smaller than expected. Overall, there were some hits and misses. While a few items were enjoyable, others fell short in terms of taste and consistency. read more

Our school ordered heart shaped pizza kits from here for vday that were good so we decided to order a meal. Bar pie was mid. Meatball parm felt poorly made/low quality. We ordered the dessert pizza and my daughter said it was criminal- they use actual dough, fudge for sauce and brownie/cookie on top- it's inedible as is and it wasn't clear that it was on regular pizza crust from the door dash description. It's gross. Will not order from here again. read more

I've been wanting to try this place after seeing this on social media. We came here one day after work for a quick dinner. The place is long and narrow, with pink and white flowers dangling from every inch of the ceiling. Chalkboards with drawings on them hang from the wall while pizza paddles with paintings of Batman and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles hang above the pizza counter near the front. Shelves with oil bottles are mounted up by the entrance as well and a Meli's T-shirt hangs above them all. We ordered the Veggie Pie, which has fresh mozzarella, broccoli, spinach, mushroom, green peppers and garlic with tomatoes. The pizza was ok but Hubs liked it a lot more than we did. We asked the server if there's tomato sauce in it and he said yes, but he didn't tell us that the tomatoes were an additional $3. We don't mind paying the $3, but we didn't care for the fact that he didn't tell us and charged us for it. If we knew, we would've picked something else. There were other pies that we were looking at as well. Daughter and I shared the garlic knot chicken parm chicken sandwich and thought that this was the best item of the night. We got charged for a service charge of 3.5%. I didn't realize until I looked at the bill now. Have to look at the bill carefully from now on. We also paid it in cash and we never got the 3% discount. So, BEWARE of this place when you get the bill. While service was quick and friendly, I don't think we'll be coming back. There are other pizza places to try. read more

A Slice of Heaven on a Thin, Crispy Crust I recently had the pleasure of trying Meli's pizza that left me absolutely floored. The crust was thin and perfectly crispy. Each bite offered a satisfying crunch without overwhelming the delicate balance of flavors on top. The sauce was exceptional--rich, tangy, and bursting with flavor. It complemented the crust (we got optional sesame crust) which was awesome.Half the pizza we got the vodka sauce. Creamy, smooth, and with a subtle kick, it took the pizza to a whole new level. I could taste the quality and care that went into every element. If you're looking for a pizza that delivers on all fronts, from texture to taste, this is the one to try. It's a culinary delight that I can't recommend highly enough! . read more

Thin and crispy is right. Well balanced pizza. Kind employees and owners. Will visit again when in the area. read more

Just ordered eggplant roll. Too much cheese hardly any eggplant so undercook dough was raw

Orders thru DoorDash. The pizza was delicious but much smaller than any other large pie I've order from anyone. It seemed more medium sized and had I know it was going to be this small I would've ordered two. read more

Good pizza. Best in area. But marlboro nj is not brooklyn ny. So there is zero competition.

Nice thin pizza. Super scungilli. Great service. The owner is a nice person. Will definitely go again.

This is my first ever time writing a review for any restaurant! But the pizza here was so delicious, I came in here I believe last Wednesday or Thursday in the morning, I was mind blown by the endless variety of slices and garlic knot sandwich on display! I got a tri slice recommended by the guy behind the counter, I think his name was Moe who was also very friendly and I personally had a great conversation with about music and the place itself. Once I tried the slice it was perfectly crispy and not heavy at all exactly my style. With service and food like that this place will be around for awhile! read more

Fantastic! Had to grab a bite quickly and send a few emails. Staff was extremely friendly and the food was delicious!

Great thin crust pizza ! Stuff rolls are to die for highly recommend we have only had take out but imagine eating in dining room would only make it better read more

Although Meli's pizza is the best in town, it's their customer service that sets them apart. They do the right thing by their customers. Get the wicked pie, it's amazing! read more

Very good thin crust pizza. Quality ingredients and great service. I ordered the fried meatballs and they were hard, dry and over cooked! Hopefully they decide to bake them in the pizza oven on the future and they'll be softer and more enjoyable! read more

Finally got to try Meli's last night! We ordered three large pies: margherita, meatball and sausage w peppers and onions as well as broccoli and cavateli with garlic and oil! Taste: 9.5/10 The crust was in between cracker and sicilian and was amazing, the sauce had a sweet but robust flavor and the ingredients were super fresh. My favorite was the margherita Service: 10/10 Our waitress was so sweet and very attentive to our needs. Meli's has about 5-7 tables inside but she also was helping run a busy takeout night. Anthony the owner was so nice and gave us a free order of garlic knots which were outstanding. Will definitely be going back!! read more

This is one of the best pizzas that I've had. I grew up in New York and have been to the pizza places that make the 'best of' lists in Staten Island and elsewhere. This is better than them. The sauce and cheese are delicious, the crispiness is perfect, etc. read more

The pizza from here was pretty good! Thin and crispy with great flavor! I also went back and got the chicken Caesar salad wrap which was alright but I think I'll stick with the pizza for now read more

Absolutely delicious thin crust. Their house pie is excellent. You can tell they use high quality ingredients. Great staff and fun ambience. The one bad review is BS and sadly affects their score. I can't wait to come back and try their vodka pie. read more

Opening day free pizza was excellent- my son loved the crispy think cheese pizza - wish them the best!

Meli's is truly the best. The service, ambiance, and food is amazing. I love their crust and sauce but recently I tried their grandma pie and they really have the best grandma pie around. I've tried a lot of different spots but Melis should be the go to for your grandma pie needs! You won't be disappointed. read more

Pizza was better than pedestrian but not by much. Nice salad but priced a bit high. Store is narrow and noisy. Bruschetta was a nice surprise from management. read more

Very good pizza. Thin, not floppy. Hot sausage was very good. Saucy, more than I usually like, but the sauce is very good, so I liked it. Much better than the generic pizza that dominates the area. Not enough tables - the place gets crowded quick. Casual - no dining room. The waitresses seem to be overwhelmed. So getting a check took some time. BYOB. I will definitely be back! P.S. Charge a credit card fee. read more

I went here on the recommendation of a friend,and the food was very mediocre. We ordered wings which was bland and had no taste and pizza. The pizza was thin that was good, but the sauce was not, and the cheese not great! I'm sorry to say it was just Okay! read more

The pizza here was delicious. We shared a half eggplant half plain on sesame crust. The crust was delicious and unlike many other places the sesame was throughout. The crust had the right amount of crunch and tasty. Eggplant was good not oily and the other ingredients seemed high end. We sat outside which was a nice plus. Everyone was very nice and welcoming . This is really great pizza will be back often! read more

Food just like grandma used to make. It brought back to simpler times when the family was large, there was always a lot of conversation and the food looked fantastic and the taste was straight from a childhood memory. If you live in the area you are missing out on the best Italian food you will ever have! read more
