I have been a customer of Phil & Bob's since the beginning.... literally probably since 1977!! Their food (especially the pizza) never disappoints. Pizza has tasted the same (quality ingredients) since the beginning. I never have Sicilian anywhere but Rizzos!! Great Job Guys!!! read more

I ordered two Sicilian slices, and I have to say they were the best two slices I've had in the immediate area. The sauce was light and flavorful, not overly acidic. Nice cheese coverage, and the dough was fluffy on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. Most of the pizza spots in the area are on the rock hard, ultra crunchy, burnt crust trajectory. I'll definitely be frequenting this pizza spot regularly, from now on. read more

There is always that gem of a place you happen to stumble upon when it comes to pizza and I found it on my latest trip back east during the holidays. On New Year's Eve we were torn between the Windmill and some pizza and we decided too descend upon the Middlebrook Shopping Center and we found Rizzo's! A classic pizza joint whose owner is from Sicily, the walls are a tribute to Italian-Americans and Jersey giants alike. The menu is simple and to the point with sandwiches as well as dinners, salads and an array of pizza selections and toppings that are truly Italian and respectful to the art of pizza itself (no pineapple slices here). We had a pie and I my slices included Pepperoni and Mushroom and we also had some meatballs and sausage on the side! All were excellent. We got to speak with the owner and you can just tell the help was probably there the day they opened! It was New Year's Eve and they were getting plenty of pick-up orders since they don't have delivery. Rizzo's opened in 1978 and the number is 732-493-2727. The web address is www.rizzospizza.com and can be found on FB and Twitter as well. I wish we had a semblance of Rizzo's here in Venice Beach, California. But what has me partly going back to NJ is a place like Rizzo's! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Consistently good pizza. Great service! Everyone is very friendly when I pick up and their delivery people are reliable. One of the best pizzas in the area. read more

An update to my prior review. Had a plain slice (that's the acid test for judging pie) and it was good. Much better than my earlier experience. Will stop in again, should I need a quick slice. read more

Best pizza in the area ! That's coming from not only a Brooklyn grown person but also an Italian born. Rizzo's makes a pizza the way a pizza should be made.. with the best sauce, mess up the sauce and you mess up a pizza! Nice job Rizzo's! read more

Been coming here since the 1980's. Fridays are their pizza special day on slices and whole pies. Last Friday had the worst pizza in my life from them. The entire pizza was dry. Barely any cheese or sauce and the crust was stale. I will give them another shot but not on a Friday before giving up on them. Been a dedicated customer for over 40 years. read more

Best pizza in New Jersey. The crust is phenomenal , very light marinara sauce not that thick red stuff. It's to die

Rizzo's Pizza is excellent. They are renowned for their pies but you have to try other foods in the genre. Don't be afraid to try their meatball subs, et al. The staff is mostly friendly. If I'm not mistaken you will pay more if you use a credit card. I don't know this for fact but I heard. That, if true, would be my only negative. This time I paid cash so I did not inquire. Do ask first. read more

I can't rate the food because I couldn't get any service here. My husband and I walked in and were ignored. There was a man working behind the counter who didn't even turn around to greet us. A woman working behind the counter looked at us and just walked away. There were no other customers in the store. We are people of color. Racism is the only conclusion I can think of for this. read more

Delicious food- great prices and very welcoming and kind staff! It's a cozy family place.

Great pizza, especially the Sicilian slice. Always have a Coupon that makes it a great deal for a quick family treat. read more

No mozz sticks. No fries. But really good fresh pizza. Credit card is a $1 charge but I don't mind. Edit: 1. Feels like brooklyn pizza. Love it. And 2. They also have pasta and subs too. read more

A good Jersey pizza spot that I've been eating at for over 20 years. Consistent flavor and quality. One of the best in the area. Granted its not as good as the New York pizza I grew up on, but for New Jersey its very good. Although that probably isn't saying too much as Jersey pizza is barely a step above Domino's... read more

Staff are rude unprofessional....prices vary depending on whose at the register was over charged for 2 large pies. Crust was hard cheese was runny sauce was the same tasted like cardboard totally unedible asked for the owner senior owner very nice man was told he Is not in charge anymore deal with if I don't like it go the hell somewhere else had words with the staff then left 46 dollars for 2 large plain pies that were so disgusting i wouldn't let me dog eat them then like a man I ask for a refund and demand to speak with the senior owner face to face man to man I was again told to go to hell. Stay away from here you'll get ripped off wait along time and the quality of the pizza will make you vomit ..Shame on you rizzos this is no way to do business ill be telling anyone who'll listen. read more

Rizzos has THE BEST classic pizza you can get. No crazy specialty slices, sausage and peppers pizza is about as far as they go, but it's for the best. You figure Monmouth county has the best pizza in the world, and rizzos is the best in Monmouth county. read more

I eat here twice per week and it is some of the best pizza you will find in Monmouth County. Particularly I prefer the plain slices as the crust is perfect - thin, light & crispy but never overdone. The sauce has great flavor and the cheese is high quality. The sausage & pepper topped slices are really good as is the pepperoni. Sicilian is good too but I prefer the thinner crust. The pizza is always fresh and consistent. You can count on great pizza every time. The fountain soda is always perfect, never flat or too much syrup.The place is clean. I've seen dirty/disgusting behavior and improper food handling procedures at some other pizzerias in the area, but never here. If you use the restroom you will walk through the kitchen in the back and it's clean. They don't touch money then put their hands all over your food. It's always busy when I go here so that tells you something (plus the slices are always fresh - there's often a slice pie still hot from the oven). There are a couple quirks which may put some people off. There is a $1 charge to use a credit or debit card. Get over it, people! There is a big sign stating this next to the cash register. At least they don't jack up the price for everyone (even those paying cash) to absorb the card fees, nor do they say "cash only" and have an ATM which charges you $3 to take out money (or no ATM at all). So don't think of it as a charge. Think of it as a $1 discount for paying cash...! I always tip, even when being charged the $1. There often isn't a huge variety of different toppings and styles for slices like some other pizzerias. While they can make some of these as whole pies, they don't always offer individual slices. In my opinion it's probably because the more unusual pies largely are given away at the end of the night or thrown away, The only other quirk I can think of is you usually have to ask for a lid for your soda. No big deal, they always happily give it to me. I won't make negative comments about the counter help because they are always courteous and respectful to me, never rude. They may try to save a few bucks by doing these things, but it adds up and helps them, and in turn they don't need to raise prices, or worse, buy cheaper lesser-quality ingredients. I can't believe someone complained about the $1 charge to use a credit card and the person answering the phone sighing about being asked if they are still taking orders. Had it not occurred to you that if they weren't taking orders, they would probably answer by saying "Rizzo's, sorry we're closed", or just not answer at all? If they are answering "Rizzos...", that means they are waiting to take your order. But instead you will settle for lesser quality food to save $1 and not have your feelings hurt. The bottom line: great pizza consistently but more on the simple side when it comes to individual slices. A couple quirks which may seem annoying but not deal breakers, and for the quality of the product they are worth dealing with. Bring cash or be prepared to pay the $1 charge. read more

I'm really disappointed in their chicken parmigiana sub. It was lacking flavor, the chicken tasted strange (kind of like chicken patties), and it came to my house completely smushed. Yes I love their pizza but this sub was NOT worth 13.50 and I definitely won't get it again. read more

Can't find a better slice of pizza in the area. The crust is not too thick, sauce is perfectly in between sweet and bitter. Large slices and the cheese never slides off! Can't say enough good things! read more

Rizzo's Pizza - Yum! - Pizza Near Me - Ocean Township, New Jersey

We live right behind Rizzo's and were happy to find a great pizza spot close to home. However, 2 things really turned us off about them: the poor customer service and the credit card fee. If you call to order later in the evening the woman will loudly sigh when you ask if they are still taking orders. Guess what? Don't take the order. That's why I call and ask. She is consistently rude, but worse over the phone. When I picked up 2 pies not long ago, she charged up for my use of a debit card. When I asked about the change in price she shot me a dirty look, and told me it was a credit card fee. Most businesses absorb the cost of using credit cards, especially if it is over a certain amount. Don't make your customers pay your credit card fees. Because of these two issues, we have taken our business to another pizza parlor. The pizza isn't as good, but the attitude and cost aren't worth it. read more

Pizza is great and delicious. But there's nothing worse than watching somebody handle money and then your pizza and then money again and then Pizza. YUCK! Very unsanitary and on unpleasant to watch. read more

Rizzo's Pizza - 2 slices and a water $6.58 - Pizza Near Me - Ocean Township, New Jersey

I went here last week and was still blown away by the best pizza in town. I have been a regular here for around 20 years. They still have the same pictures on the walls and being there takes me down memory lane. They treat me like family and I hope to make it another 20 years. Thy also have Ginos Italian ices which are the best you can get. Oh and make sure you have fountain soda. It is the best fountain soda I might have ever had in my life. read more

Good pie. Good ambience. Great Owners. Love eating here as the pizza is the best around

Yum! Rizzo's is amazing! PERFECT crust, Not chewy, perfect sauce/cheese/crust ratio, great taste too (not bland). The sauce is perfect, not super sweet or salty, cheese is just the right amount. Attitude at the counter? I have met ALL the employees, I love them... and there are two "blonds" that work there. Both are super nice and accommodating. If they're out of a topping pizza, they'll make your slice with the topping, both regular and Sicilian are delicious. I haven't tried they're regular food and subs, but as for the pizza A+. Best around for at least 20 miles. Eat in or take out, love all the pictures on the wall, the store reminds me of old times, CLEAN, no frills,black block letters on a white board, nothing fancy, just some damn good pizza.... which is all I ask for. read more

Good pizza that is not doughy at all. We always ask for well done because we like it crusty. Pick-up is always served nice and hot if you live close. read more

I wish I can give more stars because this authentic fresh made best tasting pizza deserves more stars. Amazing service where they will converse with you meanwhile multitasking making orders and handing other customers with professional courteous service. Hands down the BEST pizza I've ever had and I've had both Chicago deep dish and New York Pizza and Rizzo's stand top of the line. Also don't forget their stuffed shells and baked ziti it is AMAZING. read more

food looked great, but the lady behind the counter has a super bad attitude. especially to people of color.

This place sucks. Called today at 5:15 gave address and phone number and confirmed they would deliver to my address. 6:10 nothing and call and they say we don't deliver to your address, it's too far and you cpick your food up and denied they had my phone number. Don't go to this place awful business people. read more

Always amazing pizza. Been there a zillion years- always great. One of best pizza places around!!

Tried this place on a recommendation of a friend a couple of months ago and was satisfied until last night. Had a pizza half plain half meatball to go. The amount of Meatballs was ridiculously skimpy and the pizza overall lacked flavor. Seemed like there was not enough cheese on it and it was dried out and tasteless. May give this place another try as I had been satisfied in the past. read more

Best pizza in the neighborhood! It's a family business and they have less than a handful of staff working there at a time. Half the time it's the people in there shop delivering your pizza so to the crybaby's about it's not in my area. Go pick it up! Worth it! I lived in NY for 20 years, and have had some great pizzerias, there the only ones that can keep up in this area! Regular/Sicilian/white, all pies here are absolutely delicious! The chicken parm hero is solid as well. The pricier/bigger one is massive, for two different sittings. Complain about the prices, than go somewhere else, you spend money for quality. Easy 5 stars, we get from them almost every other week, Keep it up! read more

Pizza is sooo delicious and authentic, it reminds me of my days growing up in brooklyn and going to our corner pizza guy. They don't make places like that anymore and they're especially hard to find here in jersey. Friday's have a special $1 slices, you can feel the whole family for $8! Love this place! read more

Excellent Square Pie! Super light dough / crust. Just right amount of sauce. Nicest folks..... Give them a try. Tell 'em BROOKLYN sent you. read more

In from California and craving eggplant parm. I could tell this was authentic Jersey Italian - the real deal! Did not disappoint! Eggplant sliced super thin and stacked on a fresh toasted roll with mozzarella cheese. The pizza was great especially the white. The crust was delicious! Thank you Rizzo's for a great meal! read more

The pizza might have been good, but WOW, the attitude from the lady behind the counter was awful. If you happen to see the blonde, run. Fast. read more

Pizza here is really tasty but the service is really awful. We liked their pizza so we put up with the rude staff, but eventually it was too much and now we go elsewhere. Too many other pizza places where the workers are happy to serve you. read more

Rizzo's pizza is great and we love there Itialian ice. But... There staff could use some manners and the fact that they charge you a extra $1.00 for using a credit card often makes me go elsewhere! read more

Small place in shopping center. Pizza is great... best I have had in this area. Just don't expect service with a smile. That's fine by me bc I am not there for small talk- I want to eat pizza! Some seating available but can get crowded especially on Friday afternoons (lunch special = 2 slices for $2.50). Try to pay with cash bc debit/credit card purchases are $1 extra. read more

Ginormous slices, gooey cheese, yummy crust. One of my favorite places in Jersey to pick up some pizzas on the way home. Staff here are friendly too. read more

Amazing pizza! I've been addicted and come at least once a weekend. The blonde lady is curt, but the pizzas so damn good she'd probably have to spit in my slice to keep me from returning. read more
