best pizza around here. no joke. amazing chicken parm and broccoli and vodka slices. 10/10 recommend

I was speaking with the counter person about NJ's law of charging a fee with a debit card. There was a gentleman who interrupted that worked there and said thats not true and he has been in business for 17 years. If I didn't like it dont come back to my business. I wasn't disrespectful to this gentleman but if you are paying for your meal by debit you DON'T get charged a fee! He must of been having a bad day. No worries, no need to return to this establishment. Hope your happier tomorrow? read more

I recently found out about this pizza place through a friend recommendation. Since I'm still new to the Keyport area, I have been looking for some good pizza places. This by far is my new favorite pizza spot. I really enjoy their pizza here. I have tried many different types of slices they offer, and each one was spectacular. The show stopper is their Buffalo Chicken Slice however. This is an amazing pizza slice. I love the chicken to sauce ratio; and it blends perfectly on the thick crust. The taste is outstanding. This is my go to slice here. I also really enjoy their classic plain slices. Perfect amount of crisp and minimal flop. Can't go wrong with the plain slice or a plain pie here. I have also tried their BBQ Chicken and Chicken Parm slices, and they are all so good. No bad toppings or pizza choices here. I highly recommend everyone try this place out! read more

Love their food, but their delivery and customer service needs improvement. Keep trying to give them another chance. read more

Salerno's Pizzeria - Pizza delivered - Pizza Near Me - Hazlet, New Jersey

Is this the best pizza in "where the hell am I" New Jersey? I have no idea. This could be the worst pizza on where the hell am I, New Jersey. All I know as a New Yorker who transplanted to Florida 20+ years ago for work, is that this was leaps and bounds better than any slice of pizza I can get in my area in Florida. So, if you're not from the tristate area and driving through, stop here. I can guarantee it's better pizza than you can get at home. If you are from the tristate area, stop here anyway. Curious what you think. read more

Love their food yet, customer service is horrible. Have given them several chances each times gets worse. Get treated horrible Delivery guys are great though. read more

When in New Jersey, you need to get pizza, and this was one of the better reviewed takeout places listed so I thought I'd order it for lunch (for my client and I). A little greasy as to be expected, good crisp on the bottom without the unnecessary powder, and the right amount of cheese to make a solid foldable slice. If I'm in the area again, I'll be ordering from Salerno's read more

Food is very good and generously put together. However it is more expensive people are very friendly a, however I recommend you place your order well in advance . read more

Ordered pasta and it took close to 3 hours to receive. I understand being busy, but that is ridiculous.

Ordered from this place for a work lunch... kept it simple with an arugula salad with grilled shrimp. Boy oh boy, that shrimp was delicious. Jumbo, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. I'd order again for the taste of that shrimp alone. Ordering over the phone was extremely quick and seamless... delivery came earlier than expected. Nice solid experience. read more

what place doesn't have pepperoni on a Saturday night at seven. Then attitude of the lady was horrible as well. wont be going there anymore. They treat you like your lucky to be there customer. read more

Just left here. Pizza was fine, except that one of the slices had a hair. After quietly asking for a replacement slice, the person who I'm assuming is the owner asked to see the hair and then insisted that it didn't match any of them. He then looked at my hair and said it looks like mine. The only problem with his theory was that I wasn't sitting anywhere near that slice. He ended up not charging us, but only after ruining our dinner. read more

Pizza is average and the service is less than average. Always extended wait times for delivery and pickup. There are other pizza restaurants in town that have better pies and service. read more

I've been ordering pizza from Salerno's for years now. The pizza is very good. I ordered a meatball parmigiana sub tonight. The WORST meatball parmigiana I've ever had! It was not meatballs, it was chop meat! I never complain-I'm the type that likes to compliment but it was so terrible I called them to tell the chef this was not acceptable. When I spoke with the person who answered the phone and asked her to let the chef know how I felt she said "I have another call coming in". Totally disappointed. Turned me off so that I will never get food from them again. Too many other good pizzerias in the area. read more

Great pizza!!! The staff at Salerno's show exceptional dedication to customer service, especially the counter girl!!!! Keep up the great work. read more

They are very rude. Not a friendly environment. They got upset and hung up on me because I called it gravy and asked a question. They said they have tomato sauce and hung up and called me an asshole cause I called it gravy. Your food is not all that great. I rather go to a friendly place and that has better food than your not so great food. Ur attitude sucks I don't even want to put 1 star rating but it won't post unless I hit at least one star read more

Always a go to on lazy nights. Try buffalo pizza. Their wait time averages around 45 minutes so call when not hungry lol read more

I've tried enough things on the menu now to say this has become my favorite pizza spot in the area. I haven't tried a single thing I dislike here. As a matter of fact, I love everything I've tried. The pizzas is amazing; with my favorites to date being the buffalo chicken, grandmas, and the vodka. The service here is great; the employees are always prompt and friendly. And, they have plenty of seating. What more can you ask for? read more

Good food, nice staff. Grandma pizza is to die for. Chicken Adriana is fantastic. Must try neighborhood pizzeria.

Tried Salerno's for the first time during the pandemic and ordered the spinach artichoke and the buffalo chicken pizza. Each large pie costs after tax $25 which is pretty expensive for a pie of pizza. It's a fair-valued pizza in that there were generous toppings on the pizza. The spinach artichoke was on a thin crust whereas the buffalo chicken was on a thick crust (because the chicken topping is heavier and needs a thick crust to provide structure). I would choose the spinach artichoke over the buffalo chicken because the buff chick pizza is too heavy for me. I do look forward to trying their margherita pizza. It looks from the other reviews that they are generous on the cheese which is always delicious. My friends and I loved the pizza though it didn't necessarily come out great on the other end. read more

Their margherita is the way to my heart. The crust is thin and crunchy** and their sauce is delicious. Whenever we get takeout from here, however, the pizza is lukewarm. Eating there is definitely the way to go. **There are times when their crust is inconsistent with thickness and crunchiness. Perhaps different chefs? read more

Salerno's Pizzeria - Margherita - Pizza Near Me - Hazlet, New Jersey

Placed an order online at 6:47pm and they text us that it was on its way at 7:56pm and at 9:11pm we called looking for our food and they were closed.. We left message and someone called us back and said the order didn't make it through their system.. even though they charge me and text me to tell me its on the way!!! Then they refused to send us the food and just said they canceled the order...Very arrogant... Lost my business... will never order from them again. read more

The best buffalo pizza and BBQ pizza I've ever had. The deep dish is excellent! They are always busy, but always go out of their way to be kind and courteous when I come inside to pick up my orders. read more

Great pizza and pasta in Hazlet! First time ordering from them today and the food portions were enormous. Got the personal pizza which is really enough for 2, and the bolognese pasta was beyond delicious. Delivery was prompt and my food arrived piping hot. Highly recommend for any pasta or pizza cravings. This is definitely my new go-to spot for pizza from now on! read more

Salerno's Pizzeria - Sausage Personal (10") - Pizza Near Me - Hazlet, New Jersey

Rude and vulgar people. Using foul language to customers DON'T GO HERE They hung up on me because I call there gravy Gravy instead of sauce. Then when we called back a guy called my wife an ass hole. They don't even deserve the one star I'm giving read more

I must now give Salernos 5 stars. Their pizza is really good. The buffalo pan pie is top 3 best buffalo slices I ever had. The squares are ridiculous. I just really love their pizza. I would say this is the best pizza in the hazlet area. Definitely worth the trip. read more

Not the best game in town to begin with - sugary sauce, lame pizza and meatball game is weak. While pizza is Ok, everything else tastes like trying-too-hard Italian. But here's my big issue - Delivery times are bogus!!!! We ordered 3 personal pizzas @ 5.30 and at 7.15 we're finding "delays" for another 30-45 minutes. YOUR PIZZA ISN'T THAT GOOD. Do you have to go harvest the wheat, milk the cow and cure the pepperoni? Y'all are terrible, find another business if you can't even come close to what you say you'll deliver. read more

Always an issue with this place. I ordered two pies tonight. Was charged extra for using a debit card. The two pies were blackened on the bottom. I tossed them both and learned a lesson read more

12 years in hazlet and have tried every pizza place within a short drive. This continues to be the best with not one negative thing to say "yet". People's complaints on orders being wrong, I have never had a problem. What can you be ordering from a pizza shop that can be messed up? Pizza ordering is the simplest thing to order. If your confused then they going to be confused with your confusing order. Keep it simple and delicious. Someone complained about blackened bottom does not know good pizza. It's all about the flop and we'll done is how it's supposed to be done. Stop ordering from people who undercook there pizza to save 90 seconds of time. read more

I just left this establishment, in which I frequently dine out and I'm uphold at how the front cashier treated me. There was one piece of pizza in the window to order to go. So I was joking around and said "this is all the pizza that is left"? I was going to order zucchini sticks with the piece of pizza and she told me I should go somewhere else bc they don't have them. A real disconnect from customer service here. Nasty, rude and disgusting for a place that relays on customers. read more

I stumbled upon Salerno's while looking for a place to grab a quick lunch and boy am I glad I did. The pizza is delicious!! My office just moved to the area and I come here once every couple of weeks. Their pizza is SO GOOD. I had a kick where all I ate was the buffalo chicken slice. It's a thick slice that you probably should use a fork and knife to eat. It's loaded with chicken, buffalo sauce and blue cheese. You really can't go wrong with this. I've recently been all about the vodka slice, grandma slice, and a three sauce slice (vodka, marinara, and pesto). They are heavenly! Trust me you have to try Salerno pizza if you're in the area!! read more

Just ordered a Chicken Parm dinner with a Caesar Salad, delivered to my door. Excellent quality Pasta al dente Exceptional portions Very good salad - Respectful staff start to finish. Brian delivered my order, greeted with a smile, food was nice and hot - right from the kitchen. Money well spent and the posted pictures don't lie. I never give 5 stars and rarely ever 4. Good food, done right. They earned my 4 star vote for sure. GO!! read more

Delicious pizza & pastas! Timely delivery for a large catering order. Try their specialty pizzas!

Good Pizza and great service.. My go to spot in Hazlet. Love the pepperoni and sausage slice as well as the Grandmas

Someone mentioned in their review moving from NYC and loving Salerno's pizza. Well... I will say the opposite. After moving from NYC and having our fave places there for Sicilian pizza (L&B Spumoni Gardens BTW), grandma, white pizza, we've discovered a great pizza place in the Red Bank/Middletown area BUT their wait time is always around 60 to 90 minutes. After reading reviews we've decided to try Salerno's as it is way closer than Red Bank from where we live AND their wait time is 3 times shorter. I've ordered two pies - grandma's and white. Honestly, that was a TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY! The sauce on grandma's pie was SO SWEET it tasted more like having pizza with tomato jam on it White pizza had too much of hard cheese and WAY TOO LITTLE ricotta which made it too dense and overly salty. The crust is great though but the main problem intheor pizza is that it is not balanced in flavor. We ended up just having 1/2 slice each and discarding the rest, though we usually against wasting food and would try to finish what we've ordered. Never ordering from this place again. read more

Ok i hate to be a pizza bigot, and bagel/chinese food for that matter as well, but I'm a NYC transplant and really you cant get good pizza (bagels/chinese too) in nj that compares to nyc. Having said that i did find yoir place to rock. Your pizza, rolls, everything was delicious; save for the meatballs they arent great. I say "was" because the last few times my Margherita pizza with chicken cutlet came "soggy" when i asked that it be well done. Seems the only way to get a pizza where the slice stands up when you hold it is to buy a personal pizza Sadly i think i need to move on and find another pizza place...i'll miss the old salernos hope if i give one more shot you are back to your previous deliciousness read more

Thank you for alllll the cheese!! They replaced my pie and gave us lots of cheese...yum. We also tried chicken piccata and chicken parm..kids loved them thank you read more

Isn't much on the inside but do not fret: what they lack in aesthetics they make up for in flavor. This was one of the first spots I tried when I moved to the area and seven years later it still does not disappoint. Portion sizes on dinners are huge. Specialty pies are phenom. I can't think of a single bad meal I've ever had here. read more

Salerno's is great!!! The pizza is amazing and their pasta dishes are great. Their pasta sauce is delicious. In my opinion, the prices are fair for the market. The food is great, although, their location is strange. The shopping center is strange but it does not take away from their greatness. This is a must try pizzeria l. read more

Absolutely the worst food and customer service ever. Some of our food was delivered upside down, there was dressing and hot sauce everywhere. The wings and mozzarella sticks were severely undercooked, the breading was mushy, and both tasted like they were cooked or reheated in a microwave. The penne vodka tasted more like penne in tomato soup, the mushroom pasta house specialty was very dry and tasted like it was just canned mushrooms tossed with some pasta. I called them and asked to speak to a manager or owner regarding my order, the woman who answered asked what was wrong, so I started telling her...she was incredibly rude and dismissive, and asked "well what you do you want?!?" I was shocked by how she was talking to me, so I just asked for a refund...she said something about refunding two items, I said I wanted a full refund...she mumbled something and hung up, so I had to CALL BACK because there was no actual resolution. After the second call I did receive a full refund but that is NO way to do business. If she wasn't so rude and nasty, I would have been ok with a partial refund and would have just never ordered from them again. Instead, here I am....writing a horrible review online....this a first for me. The food, the service...all of it....trash. Go anywhere but here. read more
