Second go around wasn't as good as the first . The wings were just way to big and not crispy enough. Was kinda gross how big they are. We also had a mix up with the bartender serving us. Didn't order what we wanted but she made up for it by getting the right ones in and to us quickly. Still though off entire meal. We tried the xtra large pizza which was good. Not nearly enough toppings. It was too much for 3 people with apps. The Ceasar salad again was very bad. Shouldn't be on menu that's how not good it is. Overall love the place still and will be back. read more

Came here today with a friend, and we ordered the bar pie and the wings. Both were very good, and the waitresses were friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service. I also ordered the chicken sandwich, which was good, but I was disappointed that it didn't come with fries. Having to pay extra for fries with a sandwich feels a bit cheap. I also wasn't happy about the 4% surcharge for using a credit card. Those extra charges leave a bad impression and take away from an otherwise enjoyable meal. The food and service were solid, but my message to the owner is this: don't nickel-and-dime your customers. Including fries with a sandwich and avoiding credit card surcharges would go a long way toward creating a better overall experience. read more

Very good thin crust pizza. The hot honey and pepperoni combo was delicious. The garlic knots were also very tasty.

Wayne Ale House & Pizza 611 Ratzer Rd. Wayne, NJ 07470 Super Size Me Slice Ironically, the back entrance looks like the front of the restaurant while the front entrance looks like the back. The 24-inch super slice was cooked well done with homemade tomato sauce and Grande mozzarella cheese. I especially enjoyed the red sauce because it was sweet with a mild kick. Pizza bubbles were on the slice,  but I did not mind as they were minimal in size. The crust was thin and crispy with a slight char on the bottom. You won't be able to eat with your bare hands, unless you use a fork & knife or a complementary take home pizza cutter. Dave Portnoy rated this pie in the 7 range, but I would have definitely scored it in the 9 range.  #oversizedmenuitems #giganticfood #openwide #supersizemeslice #waynealehouse #waynealehouseandpizza read more

Came to Wayne Ale House to watch one of the World Cup games they had streaming. I've always heard good things about the pizza here but it just wasn't for me. I wasn't impressed by the pizza or Broccoli and Brushetta we ordered. I'll likely come back to hang with friends but will just stick to drinks instead. read more

Went to an 80s night, was loud and fun, lots of tvs, lots of beers, too little staff, but considered the amount of people they had to serve, service was decent! We had the 24" pizza, it was indeed good, and tons of leftovers, which my son has been enjoying, so win/win We also had a burger and mozzarella sticks, which were typical bar fair (so nothing to write about) read more

Second chance stopping here... First time about a year ago pizza and salads ordered but service lacked This time.... Staff needs help from seating to kitchen food delivery; poor service Very basic menu for quick decent eats, plain bar pie ok little greasy Pub fries just ok Chicken pasta dishes very good large portions Wings eh and they forgot to bring them when all others meals were served and they could use a little crispness in the oven after sauced Bathrooms needed attention No refills on waters to table This place is good as a sports bar not a full service restaurant and should redesign that way. read more

We were looking for cold beer and bar food. The beer was great, cold and bartender service was above average. This was a sports bar had many TVs so right atmosphere for an Ale House. Over all the food was very tasty. The caprice chicken sandwich was nice their house burger was good. Burger was small but taste. We had sticker shock with ALL food pricing in the area we would spend half the amount on the same if not better food in our state. Not happy about the BS added charges for credit cards read more

Service was good, waitress was really nice and attentive. The food is mediocre and everything is cooked in beef tallow , which is stated on the menu I just wish I could've read it more clearly because I hate the taste of beef tallow. Ambience is like a typical "sports bar" games on most of the TVS. read more

This is our go-to after soccer practice/games. We usually get the bar pie and it is so delicious! Thin and crispy! We just had the brushetta appetizer and now that will also be on our favorite lists! read more

Stopped in after a beach day feeling very hungry and thirsty! Our bartender Jason was very welcoming and gave us some recommendations for what we should eat. We decided on a pair of ice cold summer shandies, buffalo and garlic parm wings, and a pie. The wings were nice and crispy without being overly breaded. The star of the show was definitely the pie!! I can be picky about pizza but this one really stood out with its crispy crunchy crust and flavorful sauce and cheese! Would definitely come back for the pie and great service! read more

The pizza was and service were great! I don't recommend the brussels sprouts as they were mushy and not roasted. The ricotta with the meatballs was a nice touch! I think we found our new local spot. read more

Came here for a family Christmas get together for the first time. We had a party of 11, however the only space available was downstairs where trivia night was taking place. Our family that ranged in age from 2-72 decided to play. We ordered a bunch of appetizers including wings, chicken strips and fries and garlic Parmesan wings. All were great and well cooked and plenty to share. The biggest surprise was the pizza! The pies were HUGE and so thin and crispy! No soggy drooping pizza here. Great service and trivia night was a blast. We may make this a yearly event. Our team came in 2nd place! read more

Wayne Ale House & Pizza - Husbands hand for size...and he has big mits lol! - Pizza Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

Everyone i take here is surprised how great the pizza is. Super crispy and great. They also have a 2 foot diameter pizza! insane. So rare you get a pizza that big, boardwalk size slices and they are crispy and great. Bar area is cool, they have a back dining room that a bit more quiet and even have space downstairs too for private parties and stuff. Nice big parking lot. This is a solid spot that arguably has some of my favorite pizza. Service has always been fine, food comes out fast and bar tenders seem to be quick. read more

Nice ambiance. Pizza served cold, had barely any cheese. Not great. Chicken wings and thighs very good.

The place is lovely. I was very impressed by the pizza, it was perfect. Also, the staff are very nice and friendly.

The service was good, the scene was cool, the food was absolutely false advertising. Pictures speak for themselves.... we came out of our way to try the food that they advertised, absolutely not what we got. read more

Wanted to love it but service at bar except for Nino was awful. Not attentive at all. Food was terrible, chicken dishes way over cooked, dry and bland and served on tiny dishes that if you cut anything it went flying off the tiny dish. Couldn't make any martini i asked for n settled for one on their cocktail list which was good. the club soda was flat and when informed the bartender he agreed Bartenders didn't know how to change channels to games requested. Won't be back unfortunately even though close to home read more

I really enjoy this place because the staff are friendly and there are so many options for food on the menu. It has a few areas of seating depending on what you want; family style seating or bar seating. They also have fun events like trivia night, bingo and 80s music. read more

Went twice while at a youth hockey tourney in Wayne. The tavern pie was a top 5 pizza I have had in my life. Wings were awesome. Staff was amazing both days. Showed up with 17 kids on a busy Saturday night and they had no problem seating us and feeding us. Wish it wasn't 4 hrs away. read more

Service is great, menu is great! Best wings in NJ. Also the buffalo chicken salad is absolutely amazing. Try the Tavern bar pie if you can! read more

Used to really like their pizza especially their bar pie not sure what happened in the last couple months but the pizza is just not as good. The dough and sauce is not good . I don't think I'll be going back. read more

Best pizza I've ever had. Something is in the sauce that is fantastic. The ale house burger and pub fries were also great. Lots of big screens to watch sports, downstairs had a band playing and upstairs they had karaoke. read more

So good , best of the best get your pizza from here you won't be disappointed in the Wayne nj area.

Eh. Didn't have the giant pizza so may try that if we go back. Husband enjoyed chicken arugula sandwich. Not much at all for vegetarians. I was starving but wound up just choosing Brussels sprouts. They came out almost raw and not hot. I asked them to cook them a little more. After 30 minutes they hadn't come back out of the kitchen so we asked that they be taken off the bill, which they did. It's a good place for sports fans with lots of TVs. Kind of loud, which is fine, lots of younger locals. read more

So today was strike two... First time we went there as a family the chicken fingers were so over cooked I think I chipped a tooth and the pizza was like tree bark with no cheese as it all baked off! Today my wife took the kids there for lunch during spring break. She walked in and the dining room is blocked off to sit. It says "section closed" guy on phone says nothing to her or the kids. She peeked downstairs and people are at the bar eating and drinking. She wasn't about to eat at the bar with two kids. Needless to say don't say "Open" and not have an open dining room... Needless to say she walked out, and not one word from the staff. Update in response to owners comments: Why would I want to come back you ask? I try to give small local businesses a chance and in this case a second chance. By the comments of the restaurant representative they are unwilling to accept they are anything but perfect. As for today sitting in the bar, as a mom with 2 kids under 13, they didn't feel comfortable sitting in the dark with two old men drinking beer at noon. Hope you take this a constructive not controversial and make some changes to assist staff and customers. read more

Excited to try this local spot. Found a table upstairs quickly on a Friday night, which was a plus. Loud dining room with loud music. Hard to talk but Ok, this is their vibe with music videos and sports on the TVs. Started out with hot wings which came out before our beers... wow that was fast and wings were well executed and tasty, spice was perfect and wings were on the crispy side which is good. Beers arrived shortly thereafter and the beer on tap (IPAs, we tried 2) were just ok. Burger was ok, fries were soggy as if frying oil wasn't hot enough. Personal sized White pizza had perfect crust but was flavorless. We noted they had large pies which look worth a try but maybe the white pizza was the wrong choice (???) although the table next to us left their pizza when they left. Service was quick and courteous.. silverware was dingy looking. Might for back for wings or a large pepperoni pie to give it one more chance (but might not). read more

Terrible, 18 dollars for probably the worst chicken parm sandwich I've ever had. Will never dine here again.

The beer selection is good, lots of choices on tap. I only had some Brussel sprouts that were very tasty due to the lack of vegan options on the menu. Hint offer up a loaded veggie cheese less pizza for those of us that can't to dairy. read more

Wow. Brought some takeout last night Caesar salad was brown and looked like it just came out of the garbage. Nothing for nothing but come on guys. You gotta know this before you send it out. The meatballs tasted like cardboard. The pizza wasn't bad. That's why they get two sources good luck. read more

I am shocked to see all the good reviews!! We went yesterday at 3 pm place was pretty dead and service was still awful!! We had to ask for water about 5 times, our app. Came out after the dinners, didn't get ketchup, utensils, sauces- had to get a few things ourself. One person didn't get their food for 10 min after everyone and it was ice cold. Wings were the only thing good! My chicken tasted like a previous frozen patty and fries were burnt and limp. The chicken piece was also cut in half on the bun. Waiter disappeared! Worst meal in a long time. My sister ordered a salad- was skimpy chicken on one plate and some tomatoes and mozzarella on a different plate. Pretty small also. Also menus were dirty and table was sticky. read more

The service was actually pretty good for a pub place. Their bar pie was very good as well.

Absolutely outstanding pizza with a thin crispy crust. Best prices on drinks around. Most importantly, great atmosphere and friendly service!!! Oh and during the Christmas Season they have Made Elf on tap!!! read more

I usually don't write reviews but I feel like I must tonight!! I've attended this establishment a few times and can't say that I had an issue especially on a busy night but today we opted to sit in the lower level of restaurant and I felt the service was slower and then we were waiting for our pizza for over an hour. I usually have a drink and let things be but I asked the server explained it was sent to the wrong table and was apologized. While I understand that people make mistakes there are people that work all day and just want to eat relax and go. I understand mistakes are made but I didn't feel that it was rectified!!!!!! read more

Enjoyed lunch here - very loud atmosphere as it's a sports bar & the TV was blasting away. Very simple menu - a little too simple. We liked the thai chili wings & the pizza's were good but took a very long time to come out. I wish there were more vegetarian options for the pizza like mushrooms & bell peppers. When we got the bill - we split it with another couple as there were 4 of us at the table. We got our checks with an automatic 20% tip added! WTH! What a real turnoff - don't assume our experience is worth a 20% tip! BTW, we were a group of 4; not 6 so not cool. read more

The Wayne Ale House has a new upscale and modern look to their second floor bar area. Greeted by the hostesses and were able to get a seat at the bar right away. The service at the bar was great and any questions we had were answered. We ordered the pub fries, a tavern pizza, a pepperoni pizza with mikes hot honey. Everything was cooked through and the pizza had a nice crunch with the fresh ingredients that were on top. The portion sizes were fair for what you're getting and where you are getting it from. For an ale house they have a decent amount of beers on tap and the beers taste clean which is a plus. Drink prices are also fair. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a quick bite to eat and or have good drinks with friends and family. read more

I've been here a few times in the past year with my family and really enjoyed it, but today's visit was not a great experience. The first red flag was that the place was completely empty -- no customers in the dining or bar area, just the staff and what looked like an 8-year-old kid hanging around. I ordered the two-slice special, and honestly, it was inedible. The slices were clearly from yesterday -- dried out and tough. I also tried the chicken arugula sandwich, but the focaccia was so stale I couldn't even bite through it. When I complained, instead of making things right, they just handed me more bread... as if I was supposed to rebuild my own sandwich. Really disappointing, especially considering how much I enjoyed this spot before. I hope they can turn things around, because right now it feels like the quality and care have completely slipped. read more
