    Crostini appetizer
    Lucille L.

    Love their pizzas especially the peppa pig. They also have some great drinks and a great happy hour. Only downside is the happy hour is T-F 3-5 so it's tough to make it. They should at least go til 6! Fave drinks are the white sangria and the spicy blood orange margarita. It's a pretty big space with upstairs seating. Kids get crayons and a coloring sheet so that's always helpful if you have little ones that need to stay entertained. Their house made bread is so simple but so good! I could keep eating it especially bc it comes out hot. Also, their pastas are good too!! You can't really go wrong.

    We all went to celebrate a birthday here. A two-storied restaurant in downtown Metuchen. We all sat upstairs where large tables are set up for groups such as this. Though pizza is the main draw, check out the menu for other types of fare. The place is set up nicely and Steve, our head-server did his best to accommodate all 12 of us. Food was delicious, but too many entrees to discuss here. Tips are included with 7 or more in a group.

    Peppa Pig Pie
    Ben W.

    Woodstack Pizza in Metuchen is a great spot with a cozy, welcoming vibe. We tried the Prosciutto pizza and the Peppa Pig, and both were delicious with a nice crispy crust and well-balanced flavors. The Peppa Pig is a fun take on a meat lovers pizza and loaded with soppressata, pepperoni, sausage, and bacon marmalade, with peppadew peppers adding a nice pop. The prosciutto pizza felt lighter and really fresh with arugula on top. Both had great topping-to-crust ratios. It's a bit on the pricier side for what you get, but overall a really solid stop and we will likely come back.

    My husband brought me here for Valentine's Day, and I'm absolutely obsessed! The restaurant has a parking lot and plenty of seating, which made everything so convenient. Their menu is full of must try dishes, and everything we had was incredible. It felt like each item outdid the last. My husband really nailed it picking this place! We started with fresh bread and butter, which won my heart immediately, because not many places do this anymore. We also enjoyed a bottle of white wine. For appetizers, we had the maple chili chicken wings, wow, just wow! and the burrata, which was amazing. For entrees, we shared the Tártufo pizza, which was excellent, and the pappardelle bolognese, my absolute favorite! Everything was perfection. I can't wait to go back!

    Make sure you make reservations as it gets crowded even mid week entry area a bit cramped . . Great wood fire pizza with lots of varieties of toppings. Great artichoke appetizer with a sweet sauce . Fresh bread served which is delicious. Good service and nice atmosphere great flavor, just a bit pricey

    I want to start off by saying that I love the aesthetics of this restaurant. It gives a cozy and a warm feeling. This restaurant is the perfect place to catch up with your girls and be casual but still want to look cute. I can also see it being a perfect spot for happy hour after work. It had a nice bar area where you could sit and watch the games playing on tv. It is a super spacious restaurant and it is nice inside. The service was fantastic from the hostess and our waiter was great. That alone definitely makes me want to go back. All the staff were super friendly which I can appreciate. As for the food, it was pretty good. I will say that the menu isn't super big which is good because sometimes big menus can be overwhelming. All the dishes we ate were delicious and enjoyable. I definitely recommend the maple wings as an appetizer and we also got the grandma pizza for the table. For my meal I got the Bibb Salad and it was super refreshing so I also recommend that as well. Overall, if I get the chance, I definitely would return to Wood stack.

    Had such a good time here! Went for happy hour with a friend and we were pleasantly surprised at how gorgeous the restaurant itself was. We sat upstairs and got a nice view and then ordered two pizzas (happy hour deals are great). They make all their bread in house and all their food is customizable and dietary restrictions friendly. I ordered a grandma pizza and my friend got the pizza barese. Mine was great, I finished the whole thing and my friend liked hers although found the broccoli Rabe a bit too bitter for her I also wanted to highlight how amazing the staff was - as we were leaving my friend forgot her leftovers on the table and we only realized when we reached the parking lot. When we went back, the table was cleared already but management offered to remake the entire pizza which we really appreciated! Overall had a great experience and will definitely be back

    Often bristling with a lot of people, this restaurant is a solid find in the heart of Metuchen. It's pretty close to a major mall and great to use as a spot for getting a bite to get away from the mall crowds. This place can get quite busy fast so it's important to make reservations on sites like Resy. Food is consistently delicious and I would highly recommend their appetizers especially the honey glazed brussels sprouts and Caesar kale salad mixed with roma tomatoes that come with an extra punch. Their best bar drink is a spicy cucumber margarita which consistently hammers home a kick that stays on your pallet for long. Their pizza is delicious - thin crust and the Buratta pizza, especially, comes stacked with a big bowl of Buratta cheese. The ambiance is lively and fun with both an upstairs and downstairs!

    Stopped by on a Friday at 5:30 with a party of five. The staff was friendly and accommodating overall, giving us time to figure out what we wanted to order. The main dining room has a center bar area a two store high ceiling and modern looking. It has a great feel to it. The table at which we were seated was a bit small for five, and the chairs were a bit uncomfortable. We did a round of cocktails and they were on the sweeter side from what we were used to - a bit heavy on the simple syrup and they took a bit too long to be delivered to the table after ordering. Switched to beer for the second round of drinks. Ordered some appetizers. The bread itself in each application was fantastic - very rustic and artisan with a nice color from the wood oven. We ordered three pizzas to share and try. They were on the small side for the price, and were (especially compared to the bread) a bit underwhelming. The pizza crust was good, sauce and toppings meh. By the time the pizza came out, the service dropped off and our server was absent for long periods of time. It got busier I guess? Not bad overall but not great. They do appear to have good happy hour deals price-wise weekdays between 3pm and 6pm. Have to give that a try sometime.

    First time eating at Wood Stack and it was a great experience! The restaurant itself is beautifully arranged and lets in a lot of natural light. We made brunch reservation on a Saturday just in case it got busy. I was really excited to try their pizza as not many places have prosciutto pies. Both pies we ordered were as delicious as they looked. Very different from your local italian restaurants but in a good way. The pizzas reminded me of some great places in Brooklyn that serve thinner crust style^^ Service was also fantastic and servers and managers often made their rounds! Will definitely be coming back again.

    Absolutely loved this place! It's huge and has a great area of large parities. We were a group of 4 and had enough space and time to enjoy all the delicious food and company. We ordered 3 types of pizza to share. The margarita, grandma and chorizo pizza. All of them were delicious with a perfect thin crust. We also ordered the crispy Brussels sprouts which IS A MUST! You must order these!! We also ordered a side of friend and the maple bourbon wings and those were so good too.

    Came to try this his pizza spot after seeing it on social media. I loved the open layout and the option to sit on the second floor. Greeted upon entry and seated within 2 minutes. Ordered the Stracciatella Caprese (5/5), Bucatini All Amatraciana (3/5), and Margherita pizza (5/5). Overall the food and service were good and I would definitely come back to try other items!

Our waitress never mentioned any specials, so I tried to flag her down after I had already ordered a different one not on the list.

After waiting at least 15 min for her to show up from the back, I was able to ask her to change my drink order. The food here is FABULOUS. We got the housemade Irish soda bread and it was amazing. Hubby got the shepherd's pie and it was delicious. I got the lamb chops over asparagus and mashed potatoes and it was FANTASTIC ! I don't know if our waitress was new or what, but our meals were delivered without silverware. We waited several minutes, then finally flagged down another waitress so that we could eat ! If it wasn't for the poor service, this place could easily be 5 stars due to the fabulous food. Thankfully we got out of there before the live music started, loud music is not our vibe. At the very end of the meal, somehow my original drink order made an appearance (that's what I was afraid of, that she didn't cancel the order). The folks at the table next to us ordered the exact same cocktail, so when the bar tried to give it to us, the waitress told them to give it to the table next to us instead. Geez, we were already paying for our meal at the time. Lol The manager did come out and the end of the meal to ask how things were. I did mention I thought our waitress might be new. I didn't get an answer as to if she was, but I posed it more as a statement than a question.

So how did I wind up back here? Bit of a story but if you read my first review you'll see how I met a friend that I met online 13 years ago for the first time and this was the place we went for dinner after an event. Well, now a year later, her and I were traveling together north to Parsippany and this was the closest restaurant that looked appealing. It was not until we enter the parking lot I said out loud, this is where we had our first dinner. Anyways, enough of that love story. I really want to give this two stars for service but the food really pushed it over the top. So all in all I will keep it as a four star review. I want to address the food first, I had the short rib tacos, and my partner had eggplant caprice flatbread. I had a bite of hers which I absolutely enjoyed, eggplant had a nice crisp to it which really made it enjoyable. The short rib tacos... holy crap! Mind blown. I did not expect such great flavor in such a small bite. Everything about the tacos packed a punch. I would much rather have had six tacos and no chips and salsa. As for the service, this is where I got frustrated and my cash tip hopefully reconcile with my server. We dined on the rooftop which was completely empty minus a couple at the bar. We seated and ordered our beverages. I did not get my lime with my lemon water. After we ordered our meals, and received them, a server never came back to check in with us. I wasn't a big fan of her attitud either. It started to get busy I noticed that the host kept seating everyone around us when there was an entire floor to sit people at. Not sure if they're trying to keep people in one specific area but for how slow it was they certainly could've given everyone more privacy. I'm pretty sure the couple that was seated next to us got up and left for that reason. Cannot say I will not be back but who knows when I'll be traveling through again.

One of the reasons I deducted a star was due to the reservation process. I had called around 3pm to ask if a reservation was necessary for only a party of two. The main desk receptionist was very adamant that due to it being a Saturday service, it would be imperative that I go ahead and make a reservation. I asked her if I could speak to someone at the restaurant but was told they wouldn't be open for another 30 minutes. Long story short, I called two more times until finally a receptionist who knew the hours of the steakhouse said try back at 5pm. Needless to say, I placed a reservation and showed up at 6pm expecting a packed steakhouse and finding out we were the only ones there for probably the next half an hour or so (when we left there was probably 3 more tables at most). The staff was excellent. Our server was very attentive and cordial. Despite some reviews on here over grievances regarding wait time, I felt that food came out at a good pace and we didn't seem to be looking at our watches at any point. My water was constantly attended to and I was asked several times if everything was okay which I appreciated. Onto the food! The appetizer was crab cake balls and french onion soup. Both were good. The crab cake was not seasoned well but still delicious. The onion soup was on par as well. My girlfriend ordered a seafood pasta dish. The scallops were a little over done but the rest of the dish was superb. The shrimp was excellent as well as the lobster. I ordered the coca-cola glazed prime rib. EXCELLENT. The glaze was amazing. Which reminds me after this I will probably try to look up how they did it. The potatoes were on point. All in all, I had a great experience. I would recommend friends here no question.

I feel like I didn't fully grasp how to play and was just swinging the ball out there for the fun of it (still somehow ranked 2nd place among my friends :P) Our attendant was super helpful and checked in on us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. The menu wasn't as expensive as I had imagined which is a plus too. The food did take a little bit of time to come out. Wish they provided water for the bays and napkins. I appreciated my time and can see the appeal. I'm glad there's one opening closer to me so hopefully I can go again and get a better grasp on the game!
