    Pizza
    John C.

    Horrible. If I could leave zero stars I would. This is the pie I received. Owner had attitude. Never again will I order food from there.

    Great fresh pizza, clean restaurant and friendly staff. Get a slice of sausage you will not be disappointed.

    I ordered a roast beef, mozzarella, and roasted red peppers on garlic bread. There is so little roast beef, you can't even taste it! If I wanted just a loaf of bread, I would've just ordered garlic bread with cheese and saved myself $9. Coworker ordered a salad and it was awful compared to what they used to serve. So many people have recommended them but I refuse to pay prices for food that I can get cheaper, and with more meat, at Wawa. This is the 3rd time I've ordered from Ray's. Had issues the 2nd time, I called to address the issues and the staff was so rude and nasty on the phone, like they don't need your business, so it's not worth calling I just won't order again when someone says to order from there. They also charge $3 for delivery (we are 1.1 miles away) and expect you to tip drivers decently.

    I stopped into Ray's for a quick slice on the way back from the beach. The parking lot around back has plenty of space for cars. The dining room inside is clean and the tile floor is tastefully done. There are a few paintings that adorn the wall, bringing a classic, Italian atmosphere. They also have an ATM machine and fresh deli meats available. Their pizza is the classic Jersey shore style: a thin, crisp base with greasy, salty cheese and an excellent, flavorful tomato sauce. The crust on the slice was okay. It was slightly dry, but pleasantly crispy.

    Pizza is okay, but if your looking for a good chicken Marsala ... This is the place to go to and at a reasonable price.

    We have been going to DiBarris for years. We really order just one pizza. The vodka nona pizza…read morewith sausage. That pizza is phenomenal. It is just amazing. It is a sesame seed crust with vodka sauce, fresh mozz and big sausage crumbles. It also reheats amazing. The only real issue is that is a 15 minute drive each way from my house.

    Di Bari's - Matawan, NJ…read more I walked into Di Bari's for one thing: the bar pie. What I didn't expect was a full lineup of elevated, abundant, and reasonably priced dinner specials that turned my quick stop into a full-on feast. This place is absolutely not just a pizzeria. I started with the stuffed zucchini appetizer--so fresh and flavorful--and the pork osso buco, which was tender, comforting, and honestly restaurant-quality. From there I tasted the Tuscan haddock, the chicken balsamico, and the pappardelle... every single dish was delicious. Portions are generous too, so come hungry. I left stuffed in the best way. The bar pie? Amazing. Thin, crispy, full of flavor--exactly the kind of pie that deserves attention. Dave Portnoy, you need to get down to Matawan for this one. There is also an area for private gatherings. Another fun surprise: they carry L&B Spumoni by the quart and Nasto's gelato, which is such a treat to see on the menu. If you're in the area, definitely come for the bar pie--but stay for dinner. You'll love it just as much as I did.

They also have a pizzeria conveniently located right next door, which is a nice bonus. The service was outstanding--Alessandro was the best! He recommended his signature cocktail, the Orange Cosmopolitan, and all I can say is WOW. Perfectly made and dangerously good--they definitely sneak up on you! He checked in on us throughout the evening, always friendly and engaging, which truly elevated the experience. The food was just as impressive: Pollo Milanese - a perfectly cooked chicken cutlet topped with fresh mozzarella, arugula, cherry tomatoes, onions, shaved Parmesan, and a bright lemon vinaigrette. Pollo Carbonara - topped with prosciutto, spinach, peppers, and fontina cheese, served over penne pasta. Alaska Chicken (special) - stuffed chicken with shrimp, roasted tomatoes, spinach, and cheese in a rich cream sauce, served with saffron risotto. Absolutely delicious. For dessert, we shared a toasted almond cake and a caramel cheesecake cone--paired with cappuccinos, of course. The perfect ending to a great meal. It was a wonderful evening shared with wonderful people, made even better by Alessandro's exceptional service. Highly recommend this restaurant, and we will definitely be back to try more dishes!
