    My friend Anthony tipped me off that I needed to try out Oakwood and I'm glad that he did. Oakwood has a nice, old-school pizzeria vibe (complete with booths and a wood countertop). The staff was very friendly and service was quick. I decided to grab a plain slice and a peppers & onions slice. The plain had a perfectly thin, crispy base with excellent cheese and a delicious sauce. The crust was a combination of crunchy, bready, and flavorful. The peppers and onions slice, a classic in its own right, was beautifully executed. Fresh, tasty veggies with a solid structure (and perfectly foldable!). Oakwood makes some good pizza, I hope to return to try some of their vegan pizza!

    The smug gentleman in the orange is the manager that refused their frequent card nor did he try to make it right in any way.

    Beware-New Mgt- I've been coming here since 1995 and it's always been a very friendly environment. In fact, they used to have frequent flyer cards that made you feel apart of the family by being rewarded for return service. Well, new mgt. doesn't share the same business acumen to bring us back. Sadly, many mid - level dining joints and bars have dropped perhaps the most important aspect of customer relations. The manager, lol, so says this reddish brown haired, portly, opposite of personable, more entranced with his phone as he sat in a booth complete disconnected and pompously uninterested in maintaining any form of client retention especially one that has been coming there for 27 years. He without a motion told me that my card is not excepted by new management and then shrugged me off like I wasn't even standing in front of him. This is not a person that they should have managing this restaurant by any way, shape matter or form . I really couldn't tell you how the food was because I walked out and I don't mean to sound like a torn, ex-lover, I wasn't even offered a free fountain soda. but I will not be back. There's too many other places that appreciate our business that I'd much rather patronize. Thanks

    The best go to pizza spot in central NJ! Every pie they make is amazing but my favorite is Buffalo chicken pizza - one of the few places to make it the authentic way with a white base. Their blue cheese ranch sauce is the perfect amount of tang to compliment the hot sauce. Quick, reliable, high quality, consistent - what else is there to say.

    I used to eat here every Friday with coworkers. The customer service was excellent and I loved their buffalo chicken pizza! After a few years I found out I have a wheat allergy and had to go gluten free. Their gluten free buffalo chicken pizza was just as delicious, just a bit more pricey than I could spend every week. A few years ago I moved to TX, where you can't find good pizza very easily. So, on our two day trip to NJ, we had to fit in a visit and spending the money for a gluten free pie was worth it. It was as delicious as ever!!

    People are very polite. Good vibes. Pizza was ok. But not totally bad. Definitely better than many spots.

    Man, a buddy of mine raved about this place for months and we finally got a chance to stop in after a days of fishing. We ordered the Buffalo Chicken Pizza.. We ordered two to go, not sure if they added something to it to make it so addictive. That doe and that sauce and the cheese, and the oven , and the whatever else makes it so dang good. Try this place you won't regret it..

    This area of Jersey, like many others is flooded w/local pizzerias. In fact, there's at least one for just about every neighborhood. There are at least 3 other closer pizzerias to where I work, yet Oakwood has established itself at the top of the list. Like lots of Jersey pizzerias, it's sits quietly in the back of a plaza along a heavily traveled road. In fact, you'd barely notice it from the street, but don't let it's hidden demeanor fool you. Oakwood has some of the best slices of pizza in the area. The crust is crispy, tomato sauce flavorful, and cheese nice and gooey. Some notable slices include the buffalo chicken, grandma, and plain old cheese. The sandwiches, including D'Tony Soprano, a generous serving of prosciutto, capicola, Genoa salami, and mortadella w/pesto, tomato, fresh mozz, roasted red peppers and balsamic vinaigrette on focaccia, are also worthy of mention. The prices are great, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the vibe is old school pizzeria w/several booths spread out amongst the modestly large restaurant. I would love to come back and try one of their pasta or meat dishes one day. Thanks Oakwood for killing it and providing me with some delicious Italian fare.

First, it is VERY loud in the restaurant, hard to have a conversation without talking very loud. While the service people were very nice, the service was so - so. They took about 20 minutes to come over, we ordered cocktails and an pasta as an appetizer. It took about 20 mins for them to bring bread after we ordered. Then the cocktails and app came out immediately after. Cocktails are meant to be enjoyed before your dinner, not during it. While the cocktail was fine, I wasn't interest in having it at this point. I had a couple of sips. The bread they brought out was fantastic. One of the best breads ever. The pasta was amazing. I really enjoyed it. We had the buccatini with guaclian (sp?). So I really looking forward to the Pizza. We put in the order for our pizza, went to the men's room and when I came back the pizza was on our table. Very strange it was so fast in less than 5 minutes. I am sorry to say the pizza was horrible. Soggy crust and dry pizza, not sure how that is even possible. Crust and pizza in general had no taste. I had this strange feeling the pizza might be premade and maybe they just add the topping for your order I don't know. Overall, it was very much a tale of 2 cities. Iffy service and horrid pizza. Yet great bread and pasta.

Over the years I have heard nothing but good from friends -- "Excellent" "Exactly like they make it in Florence!" "Best Italian food I've ever tasted." I went with a party of four. For appetizers we split the Polpo E Patate (grilled octopus & potatoes) and Patate Fritte (French fries). The octopus was amazing, tender almost like perfect scallops with a tasty pesto. The French fries with herbs, garlic bread crumbs and pesto were crunchy, tasty, delicious. For mains my companions had Branzino with eggplant carponata, an amazing 4-cheese Gnocchi, and swordfish. I tasted all, and all were spot on; everyone loved their main course. I had Linguini Vongole (clams and linguini); the clams were perfect - tender and tasty; but the star of the show was the homemade linguine, seasoned perfectly and cooked to al dente perfection. We finished with cappuccino and Tiramasu. The service was excellent. Attentive and quick, and our waitress, Merin, was able to answer every question about the menu with authority, and even about the ingredients and preparation. The ambiance is understated, relaxed, and what you hope for when enjoying a special meal. I am quite stingy in passing out 5-Star ratings; I reserve them for the best of the best, for restaurants where I'm confident readers will also enjoy an outstanding meal. Mangia Toscano is clearly 5-Star; it is *the* must-do restaurant in Metuchen.

    Updated review from two years ago, I tried the a margarita pizza yesterday after taking a…read moresabbatical. I am lowering my rating because the pizza crust isn't the same. Please note that you may like this type of "thin crust". The bottom of the crust felt and tasted like maybe it's over coated with cornmeal; the texture felt gritty crunchy. This would work if anyone prefers this texture. The sauce just tasted like it was freshly ladled over (no oven baked in flavor). The topping left very little space for the crust edge. I am still stuck on how unfamiliar the crust texture was. I am used to thin crust texture from raised bread dough not a corn-meal like feel. Another reviewer was also baffled with the crust. Reheat review: unfortunately, was not convincing to nudge up the rating. From tip to mid way of the slice, the structure was floppy. From mid way to the edge of the slice: structure held up. Flavor was still good, maybe now better tasting bc sauce now tasted baked in because of the re heating. Service was on time.
