a pizza connoisseur, I highly recommend Vesuvio Pizza. This is a family-owned shop that serves outstanding New Jersey pizza. The cheese is gooey. The crust is crunchy and super thin, but also chewy. I love to eat the pie there, but I will also order many for a party. One time, I ordered 14 pies, and I got compliments from everybody. I've not tried their sandwiches. I'm sure they're delicious read more

Just darn good pizza. Great cheese blend, great sauce (not too sweet), and great crust (just enough char). Love getting it every time I'm up this way. Tried a few other highly rated spots around here but nothing came close. Owner is super nice too. read more

The most delicious pizza at the Jersey Shore! Best cheese! Best flavor, best crust! This is a must for a slice. I saw someone order and he told the owner that getting pizza there is the best part of his week! Best pizza ever read more

Always consistently good large meatball pies! The staff always aims to please and now they accept credit cards.

It's clean from what I can see. Dated but no dust. Dark but not dingy. Everyone we've encountered has been really nice. For a simple place the most I can say is if you want great pizza this is gonna hit the spot for you. read more

Vesuvio Pizza - Pepperoni slice that my daughter couldn't wait a minute for me to take the photo before she stole 2 pepperonis off the slice. lol. - Pizza Near Me - Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

Amazing pizza ordered large plain pie and it was ready in less than 15 mins. Friendly service can't be beat. Lots of foot traffic for take out orders! Will be back! read more

The best point has to offer and always done perfect. Beats Rosie's by a landslide and never burnt just perfect pizza

This is one of the Best take out pizza. I've been eating Vesuvio's for over 40 years.

Best meatball parm in the bi country area.Always fresh and good like it's made for us.

The best thin crust in town, hands down. And in Point Pleasant, that's up against some stiff competition! The sauce is what does it for me. The distinct oregano flavor make it feel more like a classic jersey shore thin crust than the more recent trends to sweeten the sauce and add lots of basil. Even the decor-- Vesuvius has perfect retro pizza parlor aesthetics. Years ago the service had a reputation for being less than stellar, but that's changed in recent years. The guy behind the counter is always friendly, and has been nothing but accommodating to us. If you want to impress someone from out of town with a snapshot of jersey shore pizza culture, take them here! read more

Best large plain pie In point pleasant nice people family own and run. Highly recommended read more

Loved this pizza! Perfect old-school pizza. Nothing fancy. Excellent crust, cheese, sauce. Didn't need to add a thing.

Picked up pizza here just last night. Surprisingly, it was by far the worst pizza I've ever had. I hate Dominos pizza but would take it over the pizza I was given last night. Very disappointed because I've had pretty good pizza from Vesuvios many time before. Last night's pizza was not even edible. Threw the whole thing in garbage. I'd give this place ZERO STARS if I could based on last night's pizza. read more

Hands down the BEST Sicilian pizza ANYWHERE! I've been to NY & Italy & Vesuvios destroys the competition! This amazing little gem has been around over 50 years and Dominic Sr. Is still working the counter every time I go in! I now live 25 mins away & don't hesitate to make the trip nor does the rest of my family that's moved away! Bring cash because they are old school & do not do credit cards! read more

Vesuvio Pizza - Sicilian w/ extra sauce! DELICIOUS - Pizza Near Me - Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

Vesuvios is quite the hidden gem. Thankful to have discovered this place. Best slice in town, go see Dario!!

Nothing says NJ classic pizza joint like Vesuvio. Our go to for pizza and hot subs. Can't be beat- especially with a fountain birch beer. Highly recommend this spot read more

I walked in thinking I couple pay with my Apple Card after ordering I realized I couldn't but the owner instead of refusing me away paid for my order and also got me a drink pizzas also actually really good I would 100% recommend it read more

Love this place. Been going since I was 10 and the family has owned it the whole time. Awesome pizza. Great cheese steaks. Solid place for a take out meal- read more

Vesuvio's on Beaver dam Rd in Point is the best pizza in Ocean and Monmouth County! I have been going there my whole life. I have tried others that are in Brick and Point-no good! I travel 20 min. to Point get there Pizza. (Great cheese steaks and meatball Parmesan sandwhich too.) The best! read more

Went to this place on our way down to Point Pleasant and stopped in because of the great reviews. The reviews cannot do this place justice. This is by far the best pizza we have ever eaten. The staff is so courteous and generous. They are a fraction of the cost of other places and that pizza and food on another level. It's clear that they use high quality ingredients. So fresh and delicious. Can't be beaten and we will come back again and again.. read more

I have tried 99% of every single pizza joint in Monmouth County and as far as straight slices go, nothing comes close to Vesuvio. Right in the heart of Point Pleasant and been there for like 50 years. Sauce is semi-sweet and cheese is totally high grade. Nicest guys and hands down the best pizza in Monmouth and Ocean. Note, this is not coal fried pizza garbage that tastes great after 5 beers. I'm talking about real old school Italian pizza made by a master pizza maker. Best around - wish I could get there more often. read more

Great Pizza Slices!!! this place may not look like much, but they make some damn good slices! the service was nothing to write home about but i could care less when the pride is in the dough, the cheese, and the sauce! Hands down best pizza I had in NJ and NY for that matter. will be back! read more

I grew up with this place. This was my grandfather's go-to pizza place, and I'm so glad to see that it's still one of the best places to get an excellent pizza. Their pizza is absolutely delicious! The perfect blend of sauce and cheese. This is a cash only place, but they do have an ATM inside. Keep up the good work Vesuvio's!! read more

Vesuvio Pizza - Medium cheese pizza - a slice of heaven! - Pizza Near Me - Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

Look it is what it is and that is a down and dirty pizza joint where you can enjoy a very nice pie on the cheap. Jan and I stopped in for lunch today and had two slices and a soda for $4.50, you can't go wrong at this price. Nice tasting NY style pizza with thin crust and just the right amount of tomato sauce. They will not win any culinary awards for sure but if you are in the area stop in for lunch or get a take home pie for dinner. I think you will enjoy... read more

If you're looking for an amazing pizza pie, this is the place! Perfect sauce, perfect cheese blend, perfect crust - PERFECT! The service is great, too. I recommend trying the sausage pie here, but their Sicilian is amazing. Definitely worth trying if you're in the area. read more

Excellent NY/NJ style pizza. Consistent over the years....Old school throwback neighborhood place. No cards, Cash is King type of guys which is how more business's should be in today's economy....keep up the good work, I will be back in the area soon.... read more

authentic style pizza. Served the authentic way. The Pizzaria has been standing for generations and proved the test of time. That should tell ya something. Definitley worth a shot if you find yourself in the area. read more

Family owned and operated for as long as i can remember. Everything they make is amazing - great pizza, delicious meatball parm subs and the dinners are tasty too. Remember to bring cash though! read more

It was good. Sausage and mushroom. Really hit the spot. Ate the whole thing. No cards, cash only! read more

Great local real Italian/Jersey pizza! Seriously, the old guys behind the counter are still speaking Italian. It's been a family favorite for my in-laws in Pt Pleasant for decades. The interior hasn't changed at all, in the best of ways...old school decor that reminds my wife of coming here in the 80s and 90s growing up. There are a lot of great pizza choices in this area and Vesuvio's is in the top tier...go here. read more

Ordered 4 pies to go. It was fine. I guess slightly better than standard. Cash only. Only has traditional toppings, no margarita pizza, Hawaiin, or stuff like that. For regular pizza it's fine. read more

The oldest Pizza Parlor in the area!!!! Owned and run by locals and the pizza is the best, the best, the best. Dominic is a little gruff and only takes cash. However it is well worth it!!!!!!! Subs are the best!!! EAT HERE food is great and its locally owned!!!!!!!! read more

With so many pizza places in one square mile, where do you go? Honestly, I think for straight up pizza, this is the best one. They taste like old school NY pies. The cheese, the sauce and the crust! The atmosphere has thrown me off -- its old and dusty inside. One time I walked in and the ceiling was leaking above the counter, another time the guys were fighting with each other! So you just gotta go with it, as it all adds to the authentic Italian charm and one yummy slice of pizza! read more

I am originally from NJ, moved to AZ 25+ years ago. Every visit here to see family and friends includes PIZZA... The 'ZA at this place is exactly what I remember growing up, with the single storefront, family owned place.. I am a huge fan. Order from here at least once if not twice while I am in town. I am actually freezing some to take back to AZ to show my friends what REAL Pizza is.... I recently asked why they only took cash, the reply; 'cause its an old school place', the owner who still makes pizza is over 70. Good answer. Lets face it.... you don't have to worry if you pay in cash, so carry some and get one of their pizza's it will be worth it. read more

Amazing pizza and very easy curb side pick up. The crust was like a pastry and filling but didn't feel heavy after eating. Best pizza we've had in a very long time (coming from north jersey). Will go out of the way to come here next time we're at the shore. read more

I have been going to Vesuvio Pizza since It was on the other side Bridge Ave and the slices were 25 cents each. I have not eaten there for 17 years. The pizza is still one of the best pies available at the Jersey Shore. I have had pizza all over the country this is the best. Thank you Dominick. read more

Got the Sicilian and garlic cheesy bread, Sicilian was thick, saucy and cheesy, just the way it should be, dough had a nice flavor to it too, garlic bread was good, nothing special but a nice side with some marinara dipping sauce, def would get the pie again, it's enough for 6-8 people read more

If i could rate less than one star I would. I went into the store at 10 to 9. They close at 9 pm. I asked for a large pizza and the guy turned around and said I'm not making a pizza for you. I asked why not and they said they were closing. I asked what time they said 9. I said it's not 9 yet. They still refused me. I have worked for many years in food service. You want to treat your customers right you serve and take orders until the time you close. Then once those orders are done you clean up and go home. And for that matter what establishment that serves pizza closes at 9pm? read more

Wow, wow, and then wow again. I've had pizza from all over the country but this pie is amazing. I'm searching my brain for something negative to say but can't come up with anything. There are a lot of pizza places in the area but this is something special and worth going out of your way to try. read more

Damn good pizza. No frills type of place, great pizza and service. I've tried most pizza places in the area and this one is definitely one of the best. read more
