Woodstack is a great, casual place to dine for pizza and other Italian dishes. Reservations are certainly needed on the weekend since it's hard to quickly snag a table. I sat at the bar because the wait for a table was long, and the service was excellent. Each of the bartenders was friendly and attentive. Although I sat at the bar, I had a peach iced tea and one of their seasonal mocktails. Both tasted fantastic, and I didn't even miss the alcohol. For dinner, I had the Bader Sting pizza, which featured soppressata, mozzarella, tomato sauce, and hot honey. It was fantastic. My mate had the grandma pizza (mozzarella, pecorino romano, pesto, garlic, tomato sauce, oregano), and it was equally delicious. Since we were served bread before the meal, we could've shared one pizza since it had 6 slices, but I was glad I had leftovers. All in all, I had a great experience at Woodstack and look forward to trying their wings since I saw so many orders coming out. Plus, there is a happy hour during the week from 3-6 pm with great food and drink specials.
had a feeling Wood Stack was going to be good based on the reviews--and the crowd waiting at the door confirmed it. We couldn't get a table as walk-ins, but the bar high-tops were totally fine. The staff was attentive, and for a busy Sunday we were able to place our order pretty quickly. We tried the eggplant pizza, citrus olives, and the beet salad. The pizza was super fresh and came straight out of the wood oven, but honestly the standout parts of the meal were the house-made marinated citrus olives and the warm bread they slice and serve as soon as you sit down. Those olives are a must-order. The rest of the meal was solid, though the beet salad was just okay--it could have used more volume and toppings to make it feel more balanced. Service was friendly, but they did linger a bit and stopped by our table more than I would've preferred, I'm talking the server, busser, and food runner? and some other random employees? Love how willing they are to make sure you're having a good dining experience but it was quite disruptive to the actual meal.
Came here for the first time and had a great experience! We sat outside and the covered patio was perfect for a nice day with a bit of overcast. We had the Salumeria (cheese and meat board) special that was a huge portion! Definitely a good amount to share with a group of 4-6. My husband got the Bader Sting and it was a good amount of pizza with a lot of different flavors. I got the frutti di mare on the specials. I wish the seafood was a bit larger but otherwise it had lots of great flavors. Their espresso martinis were delicious!
We, sadly, waited YEARS to finally try Wood Stack. It simply wasn't close enough to where we live to give it a shot, but since we were heading east on 46 towards Montclair for date night we decided to give them a try. We started with some bread for the table...not knowing that the Burrata appetizer we would order was also going to come with a pile of bread. The Burrata appetizer was a special that night and was tasty, but as we discovered, a bit pricey. We also ordered an Old Fashioned and an Aperol Spritz, also pretty pricey (catching a pattern here?). We both planned to take leftovers home so we ordered two small pies to try more than one. I ordered the Grandma pie with sausage and Wifey got their special which came with ham, fresh mozzarella, balsamic glaze and fresh basil (I think). The pies were tasty though the special was a bit undercooked. Overall it was an ok experience. Service was pretty slow the night we went, but the place was pretty full when we got there. Once the pizza arrived we didn't see our waitress again until we were done eating and siting there for almost 15 minutes waiting for the check. I'm glad we gave them a try, but I'll probably stick with our pizza places closer to home.
Found this place closeby to a Tesla charging station on the way home and we were very pleasantly surprised! I was looking for a wood fired pizza since we missed out at another place and came across this place which was only 6 min away. Although they were busy on a Sunday evening, we were seated quickly and they had high chairs and crayons for the kiddo. We ended up getting the pesto burrata pizza, margherita pizza, brussel sprouts and a half for portion of the pappardelle pasta. The pesto pizza was delicious! The margherita was also good and the brussel sprouts were good (and the next day too!). The pasta was was my least favorite although it was fine. They also had yummy homemade sourdough bread (the first one is complimentary, but any additional bread is $1 extra pp). The prices were a bit up there for the portions we got, but the food was good and the staff was really nice. The inside was nice with a wood themed decor that felt cozy. Brianna was really nice and helpful throughout the evening. We would definitely return!
I've been to this spot a few times. It's spacious with a great indoor and partial outdoor bar. The menu has lots of options with salads pizza pasta and sandwiches. They also offer a brunch menu. We shared a pitcher of red sangria, the rice balls, and each had a 1/2 order pasta. I really like this spot.
Kale ceasar salad was disappointing. $15 for big pieces of kale. Lacks efforts. Didn't come with any bread. Could be better
Never disappoints! Tonight we had the fall gnocchi and the I think the papa pig pizza, both were delish! We were seated in the back next to the open outdoor space and it was a nice surprise. The server was busy and attentive. Lovely time at Wood stack pizza!
Sat outside on a hot summer night on the patio which was spacious and comfortable. Good selection of cocktails and drafts of local craft breweries. The bread in this place is outstanding and we eat plenty of it when we come here. The burrata was fresh and came with their toasted and buttered bread - yummy. Then we shared a pizza and the summer gnocchi dish which were both well executed. Our server was friendly and attentive. Fun place to spend some time with friends and family for a solid meal and some beverages of your choice. Try it!
Woodstack Pizza was exactly the type of environment my husband & I were hoping for when it came to hosting our rehearsal dinner. We had scoped out a few different options and ultimately decided that it was the best fit for us. We were looking for something that was laid back, but still felt upscale - it was also conveniently located near where we had our hotel room block in Parsippany, NJ. Having the large private room along with family style dining allowed for us and our guests to feel comfortable getting up and moving about the room to interact with our company. In the time spent leading up to our wedding, my husband and I went to Woodstack several times for our weekly date nights to try different things from their menu. We have enjoyed all of the food that they have to offer the multiple times we have dined here. Our guests also really enjoyed the spread of food & spoke about how delicious their cocktails were. Some of the favorites from that night were the Stracciatella Caprese & the "Say Cheese" pizza. Carlo was very easy to work with, and allowed us to make some minor substitutions to the menu. Brian & I will definitely be back here for a date night in the (near) future!
We've been here a few times now for birthdays and random nights out. They are always consistent. The bread they give you at the beginning is fresh, I love their mushroom pie but their pasta is also homemade and delicious. The budino is also the perfect dessert to end the meal. The restaurant feels cozy and nice.

Great food great service and nice ambience. Came here a few times and every time it's a great experience. This time my kid had pizza and I enjoyed the brunch menu. Fresh OJ and Italian selection of waters. Oh and of course bought some bread to take home! read more
Let's just preface this review by saying I don't normally eat crust off regular pizza. Holy moly, the crust on the pizza at Wood Stack is unbelievable! Appetizers- rice balls and meatballs. Awesome! Dinner- kids pizza and some sort of bacon jam pizza. The regular pie was perfect. The bacon one was a tad too sweet. However, just heated up and ate the Leftovers and it was 9/10. Husband was thrilled they had Boylan soda. Few minor gripes - water was never refilled. And my kids $10 pizza showed up as $11 on the bill. read more
The service here was really odd. Our server was friendly but just got everything wrong, and didn't apologize or acknowledge any of it. We were given a different pasta dish from what we ordered, but didn't say anything and just ate the other pasta. Fine. We paid the check, the card was ran and then when got the receipt to add a tip the new receipt had a totally different (and much higher) amount. We told the waiter and then he brought us out a third bill that had a different amount again. It was only a few dollars off from the first bill, so we just didn't mention anything. And then we also noticed that we were charged for the wrong beers. Food was also just okay -- it was lacking in flavor and was mainly just very salty and tasted a bit like frozen food. Well, the pizza was actually solid and had a really flavorful charred crust and lots of toppings. But the pasta (spinach ravioli with vodka sauce) wasn't great. The vibes here are the best part. The decor is super rustic and tasteful and there is a really nice bar area. It's got a lively vibe and you can tell that this is a popular brunch spot. Unfortunately because of so-so service and food I don't think I'll be returning. read more

Friends of ours recommended Wood Stack, so on an early Saturday evening, my wife and I stopped in for dinner. This is a large restaurant with a huge bar inside and indoor and outdoor seating. The place is nicely decorated and we sat at a table for 2 on the right side. There's a large drink menu, I started with a glass of Chianti and my wife had the white sangria. Sharing is the key here so it was fun ordering quite a few different dishes, along with a pizza. We started off with an order of the olives served with delicious sourdough bread. The website goes into details on the ingredients in the bread which is worthwhile to look at. We then split orders of the rice balls and the pappardelle Bolognese. Both were outstanding! The pasta is homemade. For our wood fired pizza, we chose the Nina. The toppings included breaded eggplant and spinach in a vodka sauce. All the food here was well prepared with delicious ingredients. Our server was also helpful and friendly. The only issue I have, and it's a pet peeve, is they add a 3.5% charge for credit cards. While it's not much money, restaurants really need to rethink that because it's a turn-off for customers, especially when you paid a decent amount for dinner and drinks. All in all, I definitely recommend dining here. Stop by with a friend or someone special and start sharing! read more

So I came for the lemon ricotta pancakes but once I saw that bread and pizza...it turned to a total bread & pizza kinda brunch. The sour dough crust was crunchy, the butter was soft and drizzled with salt. I had bread envy each time a new table was served! Insider heads-up, this place has the best Brussels Sprouts on the planet. They will be the focus of your dreams for nights to come. The pasta dishes are all homemade and puts many Italian restaurants to shame. But today was all about the pizza pie. Just look at the pics and tell me you can resist, because you can't! read more

I don't know how many times I drove by Wood Stack on Rt 46 without paying any attention to it. Then a family party was held there and I was impressed. The food here is just good. Fresh, plenty of it, and served attractively. It has become one of our go-tos. I especially like the lunch menu - the eggplant sandwich and half salad is my regular order. The pizzas are excellent and the entrees generous and full of flavor. My husband's favorite thing is the chocolate chip cookie and milk dessert, served warm on a wooden board. Service is always consistent too. Great place to have here in town. read more
Much better experience tonight than previous trips to Woodstack. I ordered the brussels sprout appetizer, which was good and plentyful. The Strozzapreti was delicious - although I'm not a fan of broccoli rabe and preferred broccoli (they couldn't substitute). I also opted not to include the chili, so it wasn't super spicy this time. It was a little expensive for a meal of three ($90) but there's a reason the place was packed. read more
Food was delicious. Service was great! Had a nice apple pie old Fashioned...maple wings, squid ink pasta w tomato and shrimp...had the Nina Pizza w eggplant...nice vibe..communal high top can be good or bad depending on party size...will def be back! read more
I was super skeptical about this place because all the locals told me it was over rated, but wow it was incredible! I seriously have never had such fresh pasta, really delicious i practically licked my plate clean after finishing my pappardelle bolognese. My boyfriend had the octopus and i tried a bite, usually I hate octopus but wow it was tender and succulent, not fishy at all. Our server zandria was super cool and patient answering all our questions, she made it a great experience. Will definitely be back ! read more

I have only eaten here twice but it is one of my favorite restaurants ever! To start, I had the burrata appetizer special. It was lightly drizzled with EVO, pistachios, caramelized peaches, and accompanied by crostini. *chefs kiss* My mom also really enjoyed this app, it was her first time eating burrata. Maple chili wings were also a hit at our table. My go-to pasta is the fall gnocchi. Will be back for more and bring friends. Big thank you to the cooks for preparing delicious food and our server, Sean, for a great meal. read more

We got a table outside ordered vegetarian food. The vibe was good. There is a bar too. The inside was kinda not occupied but the host said it's not available. We were happy with the Burrata pizza. The beet salad was good but very small and we felt the Rigatoni Norma pasta could have been better. The place was almost full on a weekday evening but we were lucky to get a table without waiting. read more

Came in around 6PM on Saturday and was seated immediately without a reservation. The interiors were well lit and I really liked the wooden furniture. Wings - 4.5/5 Wings had a really nice flavor and loved the bbq flavor. The gorgonzola dipping sauce that came with it was super addicting and paired really well with the sweetness of the wings. Peppa Pig Pizza - 4/5 The best part of this pizza was the sweet and salty flavor of the peppers and the pork. The dough itself was a bit soggy and thin, but because the slices were smaller I didn't mind it as much. Pappardelle Bolognese - 5/5 My favorite dish of the night. I really loved the creamy tomato sauce and the pasta was perfectly al dente. I wish I got the full size instead of the half portion! Chocolate Chip Cookies - 2/5 The menu said they would be warm but they came out cold. They were pretty much the same level as cookies you would get from a grocery store. I will definitely pass on this next time. Overall the food was great but a little pricey. It's a perfect spot for date night and would definitely come again! read more
We were so glad to find a restaurant open with brunch spots available to reserve. Upon entering, we were escorted and seated at a sanitized table. Celiacs! I have to say the pizza here is delicious in terms of the dough. Not frozen. Not half-tried attempt that leaves you with cardboard consistency. Fresh, doughy, crispy - I honestly had to pause and question whether I was eating gluten free pizza or not. Took me back to days when I ate regular ol' pizza. We ordered the special: Capricciosa - mozzarella, ham, artichokes, kalamata olives, and tomato sauce. Sprinkled with red pepper flakes and it hit the spot! Loads of toppings, no skimping on the chef's part. For appetizers, we ordered the octopus and wings - hefty portions! Presented and plated beautifully. Washed down with blood orange margaritas which were also equally delicious. The only qualm was the service was a bit slow - however I believe this was due to being short staffed. The manager noticed immediately and assisted by bringing our drinks and asking if there was anything else he could get us. Very nice of him! He topped off our meal with a free dessert to make up for the delayed service. And with that said, I'd recommend the butterscotch pudding with sea salt and chocolate ganache, light and sweet but not overly sweet. A really nice way to end the meal, and not super heavy or filling. We appreciated that the manager recognized this, and he was very happy and made us laugh during our conversation with him. A nice added bonus! read more

Service was great Zandria was wonderful. Food was ok the drink were amazing. I highly recommend the spicy sangria made with jalapeño tequila in house. Desserts were ok but had high hopes. Food was ok, heard the pasta was good but I opted for pizza since that is what they are known for. I do recommend the maple glaze wings very yummy. All in all good night with the ladies. read more

While I do think this place is a *touch* too expensive (for me!) for a regular weeknight dinner, I really do enjoy coming here for more special occasions. My boyfriend and I came here for date night and the service was great. He started with the Angel's Envy because he wanted to try Babish's favorite bourbon and this is the first place we found it. (If you're looking for the opinion of somebody who knows absolutely nothing about bourbon, here it is! It was good and didn't burn like I expected it to. It tastes like I need to sit in a leather armchair behind a mahogany desk and watch the snow gently fall outside.) As an appetizer we got the crostini trio which are eggplant coponata, tomato soffrito, and green olive tapenade. Delicious, so fresh and perfect. For dinner we split the Nina pizza and asked to drizzle honey on it. It came without the honey but was still really good! Once the manager found out there was a slight mistake he offered to send us home with some fresh bread. However, we know that our willpower is zero around fresh bread and that it wouldn't have survived the night so we declined but appreciated it anyway :) Dessert was their butterscotch budino and I sincerely didn't expect to love it as much as I did. Really light and tasty! read more

Came in on a Saturday afternoon. Place was moderately busy. (Compared to an NYC restaurant) Our server, Shane was fantastic. After being told it was our 1st time at Woodstack, he thanked us for coming in and showed genuine enthusiasm to be the 1st to serve us and explained the menu clearly and we knew exactly what to expect. The Grandma pizza tasted good despite being a bit on the salty side. I would definitely return. Pros: great, attentive service, modern industrial design, extensive menu. Cons: too many loud, bad behaved small children during the day (Saturday). The place is overdue for high dusting and cleaning. read more

Woodstack was a really cool restaurant with a great vibe and delicious food. The only reason for the 3 not 4/5 stars was the service. My friend was choking on a piece of bread and drank her glass of water and then had to go find a pitcher herself to refill it. No one even noticed this was happening despite the fact that there were several servers standing around chatting. No excuse really, because the place was empty aside from our table and one other at 10:30am. Anyway, that aside, the food was spot on! I ordered a chorizo frittata and it was kind of like a quiche consistency, not as fluffy as a typical frittata but it was really tasty! My friend ordered a burger and was glad the bread was softer than the complimentary bread from the table. I did like all of the bread. I think they seem to be doing pizza well, but other breads exceptionally well, too. Very original and high quality bread. Coming from the DC brunch scene, I was happy to see the bill was quite reasonable for two meals, two coffees, and two adult beverages at $40 pre-tip. I do hope the service kinks get worked out because we enjoyed the food and the $5 mimosas! read more
