This is the local spot that NEVERS disappoints. We come here weekly and haven't had a bad meal yet. Service is consistent, the bartenders are dope, and the food is cooked and presented well. Totally recommend!! read more

I came here with a guest that was visiting from out of town. I told them what a great restaurant it was. We entered and asked for seat for four. They make you feel you committed a cardinal sin by not making a reservation for this place especially at 5:00pm when the place was near EMPTY! After having a deep discussion for close 5 mins on where they are going to fit us. They finally sat us in a corner. The waiter took our order and we barely saw him. it took an obscene long time to get our app of pizza and salad as an entree. The food don't get me wrong, is good but not worth waiting an hour in between app and entree. The drinks were beer an old fashion. The table next to us ordered after we did and got their food before we did. So messed up! I will def think next time before coming back here. Customer service is def not up to par. Also just a note for my Pro 2A friends they have a sticker not welcoming us into their establishment. Super disrespectful and uncalled for.. read more

Absolutely phenomenal service during happy hour on a Thursday night. Space is very accessible for anyone using mobility equipment and they have a pretty large parking lot (which is rare in this area!). Indoor and outdoor dining available. Food was excellent with gluten free options clearly marked on the menu. read more

The food here is extremely delicious! For our appetizer we had the burrata which was very tasty along with their homemade bread. For entrees we ordered the grammas pizza, mushroom pizza and pasta. All were very good! For dessert we tried a couple of options. The cookies were delicious, fresh and warm! They asked if I wanted milk and they were able to bring me out chocolate milk. Very kind staff and great place to eat at! read more

Have been to Wood Stack a couple of times with friends, but never got to try their wood-fired pizza. The restaurant itself is pretty big with both an upstairs and a bar-seating area (the building used to be a bank). Waiter was always attentive, and filled our water several times. I always like how they served freshly baked sourdough bread with salted butter at each visit too. -Tartufo pizza: 4/5- I'm a big mushroom fan; strong truffle flavor, and snappy mushrooms but crust was soggy and not holding :( -Jersey Garden pizza: 4/5 - good garlic punch, soft eggplant and chewy mozzarella Ended up taking home half of our pizza - we definitely could have shared one! Compared to Nomad Pizza in Princeton, NJ - I think what could be improved are the crusts. Overall a good spot to stop by for dinner. that's all, thanks for reading read more

This restaurant recommended by my friend Bernadette who lives in Metuchen. Spur of the moment, we decided to go out to eat on a rainy Saturday. We arrived and didn't have reservations. Wait time would have been about 45 minutes. But then seats opened up at the bar! Our Bartender/ Server Katelyn P. was fantastic!! Answered questions about menu, suggested recommendations. Checked in on us! Thank you Food was amazingly delicious!!! The burrata de Giorno- mmmmm mmmmm good!!! Loved my pasta- tagliatelle pasta with prosciutto. The baked bread was so so good! Soft on the inside, crust crispy! Bread baked at the restaurant!!! Highly recommend! Parking on site! read more

Stopped in for an early lunch on friday and it wasnt busy at all. I really loved the high ceilings and that there were 2 levels for seating. We ordered the insalata romana and 2 pies. They also gave us fresh bread! Everything we ordered was delicious. Id definitely return to try more items on the menu! read more

Probably one of the better Italian restaurants in the area. Usually always busy because there's not much in the area, expect full parking lot. Pretty decent service, relatively quick. The complimentary loaf of bread and butter were delicious. Margarita pretty was super small for the price, a bit salty. The stracciatella was creamy and fresh however bland. Wish the tomatoes were seasoned a bit more, as main entrees we ordered the rigatoni norma (red sauce pasta with eggplant) which was perfectly al dente and delicious. The gnocchi was also delicious' wood stack is very accommodating to dietary restrictions. A bit experience for NJ. read more

Everything was great! Parking lot with ample spots. Good service and delicious food. I would definitely dine here again. read more

Great food, but what's up with the service? If the service was good, they may have gotten 5 stars. Waiter didn't pay us much attention, our initial drink order took forever, what looked like the manager said hi and then took my empty beer glass and didn't ask if I'd like another drink . I was never able to get a 2nd drink since by the time our waiter came back we were done eating and just wanted to go. My date apologized for recommending the place, I told her no worries since I enjoyed my time with her and the food was good. We probably won't be back unfortunately . read more

Food, fine but overpriced and small portions. Service, eh Ambience is nice. Sat for drink while my takeout order was being prepared. Ordered a drink and what appeared to be a piece of paper floating in it. Bartender took it back with no apology and no visit from a Manager. The bartender did bring a replacement drink, but, was the paper just removed? Did it come from the same bottle. Impossible to tell as the drink was not made in front of me. Things happen I know but the lack of concern on their part is why I will not be going back. Who knows what is going on out of sight. read more

Great experience!! Myself and 3 friend stopped in for a girls night and it was amazing. Our server was very friendly and accommodating- food was great and the ambience was exactly what we wanted! I'll be sure to visit the other location that is close to me as well. Special shout out to their rotating seasonal options!! read more

Celebrated my birthday here with some friends on a Friday night. The place is pretty large The place was busy. I accidentally reserved a table for 2 instead of 7 but they were luckily able to accommodate the last after a 45 minute wait. I tried a couple of their old fashioned drinks. Tried the almond and the chocolate espresso. The almond old fashioned was really good with the added nutty flavor and the chocolate espresso was exactly as advertised, although a little sweet for my taste, with chocolate and espresso flavors. We ordered family style for all courses. For apps we got the meatballs, sausage and peppers, maple chili wings, and rice balls. All were traditional and done well. However the one that stood out to me was the wings because of the unique sauce and the home made gorgonzola dipping sauce. I'm a sucker for gorgonzola. Also they give you their homemade sourdough bread served warm and it may have been the best appetizer there. It had a nice crust with a pillowy and fragrant interior. It was perfect as a vessel for meatballs or sausage and great for dipping in tomato sauce. For mains we ordered the grandma, tartufo and diavolo pizzas as well as the squid ink linguini and the pappardelle bolognese. The pizzas are neopolitan style pizzas with a soft and chewy charred crust cooked hot and fast. The one that everyone went for first was the tartufo with the intoxicating truffle smell. It was rich and earthy and exactly what you want in a mushroom pizza. For the pastas, both tasted homemade as advertised and were cooked perfectly. The pappardelle was rich and meaty while the squid ink pasta was bright and a lemony. Out of the two I'd probably go with the squid ink because it gave a little fresh note from all the other rich food. For dessert we were all pretty full but we had to try the Nutella pizza and the chocolate chip cookies. The Nutella pizza is the same size as their normal pizza and is covered with a layer of Nutella and caramelized sugar which give it almost like a brûlée crunch. And then on top of that some fresh berries to cut through all that rich sweetness. The chocolate chip cookies were exactly how I like them with a slightly crisp exterior and soft and gooey interior. They serve it with a glass a milk to drink and/or dunk your cookie into. Overall the food here surpassed all my expectations. Everything tasted fresh and elevated. I would say it is on the pricier side but the quality is there. I knocked off a star because the service was kind of slow. I don't think it was our servers fault as it looked like she was covering more tables than she probably should have been as it was a packed house. Having said that, I would not hesitate to come back here again. read more

I came here 2 weeks in a row because every thing I ordered was so delicious! Ambiance - cozy and warm - plenty of seating - rustic and industrial decor Service - waiters could be more attentive - it was a bit hard to catch our waiter when we wanted to order more food. The waiter Waldo didn't realize we didn't get our complimentary bread yet until we told him Food Came here once for dinner and also a week later for brunch - chicken and waffles: tender juicy fried chicken thigh, waffle was so fluffy! Maple syrup and gravy were flavorful as well. I just wish the portion size was bigger for the price - peppa pig pizza: perfect balance of pepperoni, sausage and other meat toppings. The sourdough crust was thin and perfectly chewy - strozzapreti: I love a good sausage and broccoli rabe pasta and this one is one of my fave because the pasta is also home made - wings: covered in delicious maple chili sauce. Wings were tender and juicy I love this spot in Metuchen and I can't wait to try more pizzas here! read more

Very good service and food is always amazing ! Manager kept walking around ensuring everything is going well. Loved the attention to detail!

I really loved going to Woodstack. It had really great time. The food was amazing and everything was so fresh. Service was also fast. The interior or the restaurant is BEAUTIFUL. Only thing that might be bad is that there can be a little wait to get a table. But, that just proves is a good place to be if everyone wants to come! read more

Really nice atmosphere for a pizza place. I love the wings and the props pig pizza. Sometimes the get crowded, so I recommend calling first for rsvp especially if it's a weekend. read more

The ambiance of the restaurant is modern with seatings on 2 floors along with a bar seating in the middle of the restaurant. The service here is attentive and friendly no issues at all . We were checked in on very well. We ordered the peppa pig pizza per our server's recommendation as it was our first time here unable to decide on what to get . The meal started of with standard bread and butter for the table which was pretty good . Then after a few minutes the pizza arrived. If you are a meat lover ; I highly recommend the peppa pig pizza. The pizza here is personal size and thin crust . Me and girlfriend devoured it and we liked it so much that we're planning to return again just to reorder it lol. For 2 people with tip our bill was $54.44 One peppa pig pizza One half order pasta dish One lemonade read more

TLDR: delicious rustic food with quality ingredients, great service, and friendly staff The baked items here don't disappoint. Every table is served an order of sourdough, and its delicious - well caramel used crust, hydrated, and great flavor. The pizza and calzone were also hits. Both were loaded with quality fresh ingredients and had interesting combinations of flavor. Every bite was unique. The service was great as well. Wait staff was very attentive. I drink a lot of water, but my glass was never less than half full because the staff was constantly filling my glass - it was a relatively busy night too. Our waitress was helpful and friendly throughout the night. As we were paying the bill we chatted with her about how much we enjoyed the sourdough, and she brought out a bag of it for both me and my friend. I would definitely come back to eat here. read more

Came here with the family to celebrate a birthday. Made a reservation for 11am and was able to walk right in. For some reason, another large party of the same size (but without a reso) was sat before us, but whatever. We were placed in the upstairs area, which I prefer, as it's more quiet and we had two highchair-ers with us. Lol! The server immediately introduced himself and then we were brought bread and water, but didn't see him for a while after. In fact, so much time passed that a different server wound up taking the order and placing it. Then, a good good 5-8min after that, the original server returned asking if we were ready. Confusing, but the one that took our order did it perfectly and we were satisfied. As a group we tried a bunch of different dishes: The Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Avocado Toast with egg added, regular calzone, Breakfast Calzone, Smoked Salmon Tots and Chicken & Waffle, and the kids chicken tender with fries entrees. For drinks, we had coffee, sangria, and hot chocolate. Everything was great! We enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back because it's one of my mom's favorite places. read more

Huge interior with two level seating. Service was timely and friendly. Families, dates, friend groups are all here. Parking right next to the restaurant. The pizza is good although not pizzeria good. They have more specialty craft pizza here. Medium sized and pricey for what you get. Had the margarita with pepperoni and also the Burrata pizza. Both good but not amazing. High standards here in NJ. Good to try at least once! read more

I have been to this location a few times including lunch and dinner and it doesn't disappoint. The steak sandwich for lunch is flavorful and you can pair it with a salad of your choice. Woodstock is good for small or large groups and their staff is very nice and attentive - you definitely will not be disappointed! read more

Liked everything here. Pretty loud at dinner time but all the food selections appear high quality & tasty. The complimentary bread is delicious & so was our Tartufo pizza ($20) with roasted mushrooms di latte mozzarella, fontina, & truffle oil and the DiFara pizza which appears to be a happy hour or special item. The TUSCAN RIBS was ok but very fatty. Service was very good. We'll be back. read more

One of my fav pizza places in the local area (if you're looking for "fancy" pizza). I've been here many times over the past 6 years and am always happy with the food. Buttery bib salad, peppa pig pizza, Brussels sprouts... those are just some of my favorites!! indoor seating is nice but can be a little loud, outside is nice if it's open! Also I came here with my kids and my son has food allergies. The chef came to our table to confirm before he prepared one of the dishes and was so sweet! read more

Very nice spot in Metuchen. Great pizza and meatballs. This place has two levels. It's nice, spacious and inviting. I enjoy looking at open kitchen concept.

I visited Wood Stack with a friend from high school to catch up. I always drove by, but never had the chance to stop in until recently. Wood Stack is known for their wood fired pizzas, fresh pasta, and sourdough bread. The interior is beautiful. The restaurant has high ceilings so the space feels very big and open. They were busy, but we were able to get a seat at the bar. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. We were stuffed with carbs by the end of our meal but it was worth it. I had the tartufo pizza which was delicious. I would love to try other pizzas on the menu. My friend had the fall gnocchi. I had a bite and I was blown away. I will definitely be back for their gnocchi. read more

This place was busy for a Friday evening, we had a hour wait because we did not make any reservations. We don't mind the wait. For apps we got the roasted Brussels sprouted and salad. Brussel sprouts were over cooked and burnt. The dressing for this was some sort of honey and oil blend. It was not good because it was too sweet and too oily. I ate one and had a mouth full of oil. And most of it was burnt!! The salad was good but had way too much dressing on it. For the main entree we got the margarita pizza and rigatoni Norma. The pizza didn't have enough sauce in it and was salty. The pasta was decent but we told them to make it spicy and it was not spicy and on top of that they charged an extra dollar to make it spicy...I could had added pepper flakes myself...‍ Overall it was okay, this time it was a miss. I have been here once before and that time it was good. Also items are a bit pricey... read more

Visited Wood Stack with the girls and it was a good time! There is a parking lot so one less thing to stress about. Upon walking in, I noticed how spacious this place is! High ceilings, high windows, lots of room at the bar and for large parties. Since it was lightly snowing, it looked beautiful from the inside looking out. We started off with a glass of white sangria which was light and refreshing. They also gave us complimentary bread. For my entree, I ordered the salmon burger with fries and WOW am I craving it right now. The fries were thick and seasoned WELL. Along with the salmon burger, it was just a 10/10 meal. My friends loved their food too! I definitely have to come back and enjoy the bar area. read more

Wood Stack needs to be talked about! I'll start by saying I have been to Wood Stack a few times now and every time is a hit! This is the perfect spot for just about every occasion, a quick lunch, brunching with friends, even large groups and private events. Most recently I came in with a larger group of friends and family for some birthday celebrations. The food was spectacular. You have to order the straccitella as an app (my favorite item on the menu). This dish alone will have you coming back time and time again. For a main most of us order individual pizzas. The pizzas are great, you can't go wrong with a wood fired pizza and there's a great selection of different toppings. Drinks were wonderful. They make a really good Bloody Mary and sangria! Our server was lovely. She was so accommodating and went above and beyond helping us get snap a good group photo! I will be back, many times I'm sure, and so should you. read more

I had dinner at woodstack on a Tuesday night and was pleasantly surprised to find that the restaurant was mostly empty and therefore, a reservation was unnecessary. The bar area is interestingly located in the center of a restaurant with a modern light fixture above it! I ordered the peppa pig pizza due to the unique name and my friend got the grandma pizza. The pizza is a good size, and I took home half the pizza. The peppa pig has a variety of meats as the name suggests as well as tomatoes and basil. We requested the dessert menu and both got three assorted scoops of ice cream to finish off the meal! read more

Glad stumbled upon this place. I have been to the other location but this one is closer and been meaning to try it for a while now. Love the ambiance and how the bar is in the middle of the restaurant. Really inviting to grab a drink while you wait for your table. Love the high ceilings and second floor additional dining area. Sat on the second floor in a two seater table but also saw how they have larger bench like tables for bigger parties. Ordered the tomato soup, rice balls, and the prosciutto pizza. Tomato soup was vibrant and fresh. I occasionally dunked the rice balls in there as a sauce. The rice balls were good, well constructed. The pizza, oh man the pizza oven dough is super fresh. Loved that the pizza had mostly fresh ingredients added after the oven. Ample toppings on that pizza, see the pic! Can't wait to come back, love that they have seasonal specials too. read more

I have been to Wood Stack a few times for dine in as well as take out. Dining in is definitely the way to go. Take out food is good but they also offer to go alcohol. We got there around 5:00 and it was already decently busy. If possible a reservation is probably a good idea I loved the vibe, the set up and decor of the place. Our Waitor was very nice and explained everything to us about their foods and kitchen. The sangria is really good but depending on who makes it determines how good it is. It's not consistent and this is my only reason for 3 versus 5 stars. As for the food, everything is delicious. Appetizers to meals. Highly recommend the ribs and the prime rib. Excellent. Pizza is good too. Service is attentive and friendly. I definitely will continue to return. read more

Very good gluten free options. They have a gluten free baguette that they serve with butter and the GF pizza was so delicious! For someone with gluten allergies it was a wonderful treat! I'd stear clear of the brussels, they warned me that drdespite no gluten containing ingredients, they were fried in the same oil as other gluten containing items and I chose to roll the dice and lost and had a reaction to them, but nevertheless they were very tasty. The gluten reaction was a bit brutal, but again was no fault of theirs as they advised me of the cross-contamination potential when I ordered them. HIGHLY recommend for anyone with gluten issues! read more
