The food is always outstanding, great combinations of flavors! It is always comfort food. The brothers are so warm and accommodating. There's a dining area where we enjoy everything from sandwiches to excellent entrees. I always see their awesome selection of pizza slices. They do a lot of takeout while I'm there. read more

The pizza was burnt. Ended up throwing it away. Toms River has the worst pizza. I can't believe these people send crap like that out the door. Pies on 37 noticed once that the pie was a bit crispy when it came out and immediately said oh no, we will make a new one we can't send that out the door. Stand behind your product. read more

Don't pay attention to any bad reviews! This place is fantastic! Pizza and eggplant parm sandwich was awesome and the guys at the counter were super friendly and made my wife and I feel at home! read more

Delicious egg plant parmagian sandwich Better than my Italian friend makes Very friendly employees

Had my husbands birthday catered. The trays were full and the food was fresh and delicious! Donna

The pizza isn't that good to begin with because most times it's dry i went to pick it up after we had asked for extra cheese. Brought it home and there was no extra cheese. It was dry as usual, and the crust seemEd burnt There is someone that that's sick in the family so I hadn't had a chance to call When I called the day after they said, why didn't you call at the moment and I told him there was someone sick in the family When I tried to talk to them about it on the phone the following day they went up hanging up on me read more

The service was amazing, very warm and welcoming- it was obvious that the owners took great pride in their product. Food was also amazing-we had house salad, fried calamari along with eggplant parm and penne vodka with chicken. All outstanding not to mention the portions where huge! read more

We love Pondrellis! Family owned and personal- they know us by name and are always happy to see us! The food is delicious!

I can't believe the less-than-stellar reviews I read on here. This pizza isn't just good it's NORTH JERSEY good!! If you're looking for a taste of excellent pizza, mouth watering wraps and salads, come here! In addition, the workers are beyond hospitable human. The atmosphere is unapologetically casual but warm, inviting family and couples alike. They even have house made desserts from their partner pastry shop. Cash discount offered too which is a plus. read more

This restaurant isn't just pizza! The gnocchi are homemade. The mussels marinara were so tender and delicious. The bruschetta Luigi was a work of art, a must try! Zeppoles still too warm to eat!! Our first time there. We will be back! Ty Luigi and Anthony for an outstanding dining experience! Yes, the pizza was delicious too! read more

Excellent pizza! Crust was not too thick, sauce was not overwhelming and a lot of veggies. Courtesy service. 2 young brothers own it. Shop local. My new fav place. read more

I ordered a grandma pie. The worst. That real cheap mozzarella, bright orange sauce, and "pesto" sauce instead of basil. Tossed the whole 25$ thing. read more

I went here mid day and the pizza looked tired. The owner was there and was a gem. The workers were amazing as well. I really wanted to love it but it was dry and seemed to be sitting out all day. Not the worst but maybe an off day. I won't count them out just yet. read more

Pondrellis has become our favorite spot in town! Highly recommend. Luigi is always welcoming and kind. A must try. read more

This review is for the grandma pie only but it deserves 5 stars and more! It has a drizzle of pesto and it's phenomenal. Since it was our first time here, we even got a slice of the cannoli cake! Grazie Pondrelli's! read more

The two stars is about today. Generally speaking I like Pondrellis food and bakery. But this just cost me $24.80. Does that sound right? Chicken parm with pepperoni and onion rings. I am a bit shocked and then on top of it I was charged 80 cents for Service Charge for using my debit card. read more

This place is just terrible. I ordered a Pepperoni and cheeses calzone. As you can see in the picture how it was made. Maybe it was a Amateur making it. I'm never ordering again. Plenty of other places to order from. Don't waste your money read more

Pondrellis Pizza and Kitchen - Pepperoni and cheese calzone. See the Tiny amount of pepperoni on the side - Pizza Near Me - Toms River, New Jersey

This was for years my go to Pizza place.. best pizza around until recently. Tonight was the last straw, pizza crust was so weird tasting and even the sauce was different.. the amount of pepperoni was much less than usual and when you charge $5 for topping on a pie, you should fill it up.. $7.31 for a bottle of soda??? That's absurd. So disappointed the last two or three times ordering.. so I guess it's time to look for a new pizza joint.. read more

Best pizza and sauce around! I have ordered the catering package for multiple occasions and every time the delivery and food was perfect! Delicious! read more

Absolutely ridiculous. It's a shame because the pizza is not half bad. But the prices they charge are absolutely out of control and obscene. I ordered one large pizza with one topping and a 2 L bottle of soda delivered to my house and the price was almost $32 then add the delivery drivers tip to that. For that kind of money the pizza could've at least been hot and the delivery driver could've remembered my soda. Not worth the money they are out of their minds I will not be ordering from them again read more

What a great place for a great meal. Pino the owner is awesome and the place is immaculate. We had the red clam sauce which was on point and the chicken scarpariello which was also amazing. We will be back. Love these joints where the owner is hands on. read more

This place is great the staff is always super friendly food is fresh and has that homemade taste that leaves you wanting more!!!

Grandma pie is ordered at least once a month. Friendly service, pizza delivers DELICIOUSNESS every time!

Best pizza place EVER!!!! My son will only eat Pondrellis Pizza. Every time we order pick up or delivery we are treated like family. Everyone is so nice and always smiling. Great food. Never been disappointed and have been ordering for a couple years now. Thank you for being so amazing to your customers!!! We love Pondrellis!!! read more

While the price was good, the food not so much. Three people ordered the penne alla vodka and all three found themselves repeatedly going to the bathroom over the next twenty four hours. There is really nothing more to say, there is no way I can possibly return or recommend when several members of my party got sick. read more

This place makes a pretty decent cheesesteak. Not Philly style, but pizza joint style, if that makes any sense. It's good. I've had a few. Pies are good but not noteworthy. An overall good experience and I'll be back for more at some point. read more

Just ordered from here and the pizza was delivered hot and fresh! The best pizza I had in many years and i will definitely be a returning customer! read more

Not just a regular pizza place. They treat you like family. The food is amazing every time no matter the dish. There are dozens of pizza places in Toms River and I have tried most of rhem but non have compaired to Pondrelli's! read more

Best Italian food around ! Every one working there the best ! They always make me feel great and since I can't climb stairs the people who deliver come up stairs without a complaint and a smile ! read more

It's our go to pizza spot! The salads are excellent as well. I'd recommend the brushetta salad with shrimp or the vodka penne. Delicious pizza and Italian food, wuick delivery and family owned. read more

I think it is me...not them. I am from NY and we have a certain way with pizza. I am not saying it is superior but that it is what I am used to and what I want. This place will not satisfy a NYer. It just won't. Though...the eggplant parm was really good. read more

This is our go to place. The food and service are outstanding! When we don't feel like cooking we order from them! We also use them for catering our last July 4th Party was a home run with their food. Taste as good as my wife's cooking! If you have not tried them yet you are missing out! read more

Great place. They have terrific lunch specials. Clean, friendly and fast. They also own a bakery. So they have cookies and pastries to sell. There also very good. read more

Love this place. They have a massive variety of food and it's all very tasty. the staff is friendly and helpful. I want to give it 5 stars because it really is great and the pizza is stellar but the chicken for some reason is lack luster. I have ordered 2 different chicken dishes from them and it just wasn't up to par with what I'd expect but other than that everything else I've had has been fantastic. read more

I wouldn't give them a 1 star rating. When ordering full trays they are really half trays. So half our guests at our Cub Scout Blue and Gold Ceremony didnt eat since half the order was missing. We called the restraunt and they said that was there trays. It was suppose to feed 60 people and cost 566.40. How ridiculous! read more

Ordered the lobster ravioli and it was divine. Rich, creamy, not too salty & perfectly aldente! Gave my husband a taste and he took the left over sauce and wiped the plate clean with bread. We also had the egg and bacon pizza since it was different, really good. Very friendly staff. We go to his bakery a lot too for his delicious pastries. read more

We don't live nearby, so eating lunch was a touch and go process for us just choosing something off the side of the road. Stopped here and we don't regret it for a moment! We ordered a large pepperoni pizza, an order of garlic knots, and cheese fries for the table. Garlic knots were amazing, not overcooked, and nice and chewy. Fries were perfectly cooked with real cheese (not the stuff out of the can that some places like to pass off). Pizza was amazing. Crust nice and thin. This place definitely had the Italian feel. Staff was so friendly, place was clean, and the other customers were even friendly with recommendations as we looked at the menu! If we're in the area again, we'll definitely come back!! read more

OMG finally great pizza in Toms River. My husband and I went there and had a wonderful meal. We have gone back several times and never had a bad dishl! We are having people over saturday night and we are already cant wait for zuppa di pesce. If anyone is looking for a great pie do yourself a flavor haha and try their grandmas pie. read more
