First time here, I've driven passed it countless times without realizing that it was a small pizza restaurant tucked in the corner of a very small strip mall. Today my daughter wanted pizza. She's been away at school and said that good pizza is nonexistent in Florida, unless it's a chain like Dominos. So we searched and we found this small and clean place with good reviews and our very nice wait staff named Veronica. We had a quick lunch which consisted of a large margarita pie with vodka sauce. We also ordered triangle shaped fried mozzarella. The breading on the mozzarella as well as the sauce was very good. My daughter loved the pizza but I can't say I was a big fan of the vodka sauce. It was my first time having it. I prefer the margarita with tomato sauce and I think that's what I will order the next time that I visit again. I did love that the pie was thin crust, but it arrived a bit burnt. I'll have to request that my pie not arrive burnt. I will be returning to try other items. read more

I really liked the food and prices are typical. The wings were great and the pizza had exceptional crust. You could tell it was actually coal-fired and that's very unique. Overall I think my experience was relatively good. read more

I haven't been here in a year, and decided to go for some pizza today. I ordered the Carrol Gardens and half margarita with extra cheese pizza. Today the pizza was disappointing. It was undercooked making it soggy in the center of the pizza. I paid for extra cheese and there was no extra cheese. They use to pack the Carrol Gardens pizza with vegetables, but today the toppings seemed skimpy. I'm not sure if this was an off day. read more

We came here one day after work and were immediately seated after arriving. The restaurant is medium in size, with square-shaped crystal chandeliers hanging over the tables, booths situated in the corners, and warm orange walls. An orange wall separates the front dining area from the back and paddle-shaped menus hang in the corners as well. We ordered the following: Arugula Salad, which has arugula, feta cheese, walnuts, beets with balsamic vinaigrette dressing. We got the walnuts on the side because of allergies. Hubs thought it was the best item on the table for the night. Daughter liked it and thought it was nice and crisp. Personal pesto, which is fresh and shredded mozzarella, artichokes and fresh garlic with homemade pesto. We were really disappointed with this. The presentation left a lot to be desired. We've had it in places where the pesto was drizzled upon serving. The pesto on this pizza was baked. Hubs said that we couldn't taste the basil and artichoke and thought it was a green mess. 18th ave feast personal pizza size, which has margherita pie with sausage, roasted red peppers and onions. Hubs liked this better out of the two. He said that he usually doesn't like meat on the pizza but if you put onions in it, he's happy. LOL. Daughter liked this a lot. Hubs ordered unsweetened iced tea and got it sweetened and returned it back. Server went to check and couldn't figure out why they put sweetened iced tea under the unsweetened spigot. Hubs decided to get water instead. At the end, they still charged us for the sweetened but Hubs pointed it out. Even though the place had quite a few workers, it was only one person serving all the tables. The rest of the staff were just standing around minus the couple of chefs working. There's also a convenience fee of 3.5% for those who pay with credit card. It's deducted if you pay in cash. We've been here in the past and thought it was okay. I guess it was because we ate in the car. This time, we went in and weren't impressed. Will try other places when in the area. read more

I was expecting this to be way better than it actually was. I thought the pizza would be well done and crispy because it was coal fired but it wasn't. I ordered just one Margherita pie to share and I feel like it was enough for 2. Service wasn't bad but we had to wait sometime for a table because the waiters kept walking around and didn't notice us. read more

My fiancée wanted to try Zoni's because they offered a gluten-free crust. We came here with some friends and ordered the fried calamari, large buffalo wings, fried mozzarella triangles, vongole, the BQE and 2 Princess Margheritas (reg and gluten-free). Our waitress was very nice and very communicative. The space was nice as well. Overall, everything we ordered was very good. The only critiques I have are there was a longer than expected wait time between the apps and pies and the buffalo wings were a bit spicier than I expected. I had just ordered the vodka sauce pie from Prince Street Pizza in NYC and really enjoyed it, so decided to try theirs. Delicious. I could definitely taste more of the vodka sauce in Zoni's version. Our party definitely enjoyed ourselves here and I'm glad I got to try the food here. I was not disappointed and left a happy customer. read more

So so good! Food is delicious - pizzas and salads just delicious! Service excellent - quick and so friendly. WE had the pleasure of meeting Rob, the owner, who was simply lovely - so friendly and warm. He offered to pickup the tab for dessert for the kids at the table next to us-= because that's just the kind of guy he is. HIghly, highly recommend! read more

Today's lunch was across the River in New Jersey. This area of New Jersey is full of B class gourmet that is more tasty as every day meal than A class gourmet food. Out of tons of choice, I chose Zonis Coal Fired Pizza in Red Bank. I always order Large pie though I know I can't finish it. I love leftovers for snacks days after. Dough could bake a little more to be crispier but charred edges are just perfect as like this. Because of coal fire charred smells great. I had half mushrooms pie today and this was a perfect pie today. No beer or wine so BYOB here. read more

Absolutely tremendous management, staff and food. They treat you like family. You have to try the Camilla!

Had to pay extra Debt card or credit card does not matter i was under the impression Debt card is the same as cash no matter but I was given a time to come in for my take out order they had to refire up the oven well when I arrived one person was on the phone taking a order two people were looking at their phones looked at me and continued to look at their phones when after my two minute drive home found the pizza to be ice cold maybe the oven wasn't hot enough yet lucky for us we have so many options read more

ordered a large pizza for pick up. Was very surprised when I got it home and opened the box. it was very small and misshapened. there was virtually no cheese on it. basically a blob of dough, and some sauce. I will not be ordering from there again. read more

Zoni's Coal Fired Pizza - Pizza from Zions in Middletown - Pizza Near Me - Red Bank, New Jersey

Stopped in on a whim on a Thursday evening, while visiting from Maryland. We didn't have a reservation, but owner Rob greeted us warmly, and quickly found a spot for our party of 3. It's BYOB, so we ran over to the liquor store a couple of doors down for a bottle of Prosecco. We had a Margarita and Camilla personal pizza, and Cesar salad; also had the Calamari appy. The food was terrific; fresh quality ingredients, perfectly prepared. I would be remiss if I didn't mention our server, Sabrina; she was friendly and very attentive (and it was busy!). If you're looking for a great meal in Red Bank, you should definitely try Zoni's! read more

$17 for a cheesesteak on stale bread, tossed it the garbage along with the overdone mozzarella wedges. FrIes were good. Stick to pizza

Very mixed execution of food. The calamari was fresh and delicious, but the pizza tasted terrible and the crust was chewy. Excellent cannoli. In response to the restaurant's reply: we had the Stefano pizza. It was much too sweet - the caramelized onions, ricotta, your sweet tomato sauce - with nothing to balance that flavor. read more

Great if you love thin crust pizza. Friendly, fast service and tasty food in a nice, family-friendly atmosphere.

Pizza was good but the large pies were smaller than normal. Taste was pretty good but not anything special. We ordered three pies and each one was cooked differently too. Probably won't order again unless we have to. read more

A few of the pictures posted look amazing. The pizza we had was sadly not. I was quite disappointed. It was okay though slightly thicker than I expected and the cheese did not seem quality.. Further, we ordered the chicken parm and for $20+ we received a single cutlet over pasta. read more

Tried an assortment of pizzas-- none were my cup of tea. Service was good and efficient.

There are so many reasons why I just fell in love with this pizza spot. If you are reading this, GO NOW and thank me later. 1. BYOB- one of the reasons why we came here with friends. 2. The pizza- we ordered the margherita & bianca. We asked for the margherita well done but it didn't come out as well done as we liked. HOWEVER! We asked for them to stick it back in the oven to cook it a little bit more and OMG the extra crunch on the crust + delicious sauce + fresh mozzarella = just give me the whole pie because I'm not sharing. Plus, our 9-month old loved the pizza and it was her first time having pizza. 3. The coal fired wings- juicy on the inside and nice and crisp on the outside. Probably the best coal fired wings I've ever had and I've tried many. And I cannot forget, the "blue cheese" dressing which is Gorgonzola cheese and HOMEMADE! I loved the "blue cheese" so much they gave me a cup of it to take home. 4. The service- our waitress Olivia was friendly, kind & patient with us. The owner Rob was fantastic! If you want to support a local restaurant you need to go here! He puts so much love into his food and if you get a chance to talk to him, he will tell you all of his favorite pizza spots. Truly can't wait to go back! read more

Zoni's is our go to place for pizza every Friday. We absolutely love coming here! Robert makes us feel like family, the staff is very welcoming, and the pizza is fantastic! Zoni's has brought the best New York style coal fire pizza to New Jersey! Highly recommend coming here. read more

First time here. Loved the food, service and everything about this place. Will most definitely be back!!

Last night was the second time I ordered from Zoni's and it was absolutely delicious! I ordered 4 pies using the online ordering system which was super easy to do! My order was made perfectly no mistakes. We ordered the Americana, pollo d'oro, princess Margherita, and the rapini. The princess margherita is beyond delicious. It's a vodka sauce pie that's not over whelming. The sauce is delicious, creamy, flavorful! The pollo d'oro is a Buffalo ckn pie with just enough heat. The chicken isn't chewy like you sometimes experience on pizza pies. The crust on every pie is the perfect thickness and cooked just the way I like it... soft with crispy edges. One thing to note, the large pies are not as big as a large pie you get at a traditional pizzeria so make sure you order a little extra. We got the Americana and princess margherita in a large and the rappini and d'oro in a medium. read more

Really good cheesesteaks I just wish the bread was of better quality. Pizza was good just not crispy. I prefer a crispy slice. Meatballs a little spongy but had good flavor. Loved the mozz triangles. Overallner would give it another try. read more

Pizza was very good. Especially the flavor and texture of the crust from the coal fire oven. Sauce and cheese were just okay. Service was a bit slow even though the place was empty when we went. Easy parking and lots of tables, no wait read more

Best pizza in the area, but I recommend dining in if you really want to get a good measure of how great the pizza is. Delivery is quick, but not as crisp, which is understandable. read more

Quality has decreased the last few times we have ordered. Gave it one last try and was again disappointed. The pizza was soggy, not a nice crispy crust as advertised and wings were completely burnt on one whole side. Tried to like this place again but when one of the staff used foul language while I was waiting (sh*t and f**k) for my order, I was done. Unprofessional and unimpressed. read more

Typo (updated, not upscale.) Yes cozy & casual. The food continues to be delicious. Staff is friendly & attentive.

I wanted to love it as it our closest pizzeria. When we first moved into the neighborhood a few years ago it was great. Then we had quite a few quality issues and gave up going for a while. In the past 6 months we started going back regularly and my husband and I have been sick from the food. Specifically the sausage pizza twice. Super disapointed read more

Bad, bad, bad...my location was 2.1 miles away but it took them over 1 hour to deliver. When it arrived it was lukewarm, burnt crust, very salty, with very little sauce and cheese. It was like trying to eat the cardboard box. I regret spending the 20 bucks. :( read more

Zoni's Coal Fired Pizza - Burnt crust, very salty, very little cheese and sauce, they took over 1 hour to deliver it. The office was only 2.1 miles away. - Pizza Near Me - Red Bank, New Jersey

The pizza was on point with a good crust. It tastes like the coal fired type that is typical for the fancier spots. It reminded me of del pontes or some place like that. I also order tried the wings and they weren't bad. They didnt have a breading but were still good. I am a sucker for a crunchy breading on a wing. That crunch is what makes it but these were still good. They had some caramelized onions on them which was a nice unique touch. I would come back to try again. read more

At lunch not busy ordered a calzone and the cheese was still cold on the inside right out of the oven. will not be coming back choose the deli next door before them. read more

Lovely room, better than most of this kind. Try the pesto pizza. Special. Had twice. First time loaded the second not so much. Good service and menu. Maybe my fav Pizza/Italian style place in the area right now. Has a few unique menu items. Byob of course. read more

Pizza was delicious I got pepperoni and chicken cutlet toppings. The wings were good but I prefer fried. The service was quick. Very good !!! read more

The service was excellent and the inside looked like a great place to have dinner. But the pizza didn't really have much flavor. This sauce and cheese were ok but the dough didn't taste like bread. It had no flavor. Maybe they don't let it rise long or something. read more

This was my second visit to Zoni's. I sought it out the first time because I read they were a finalist for Monmouth County's best in the Asbury Park Press pizza contest. I was pleasantly surprised with Margarita personal pie. Crispy with a nice char--seemed to come close to the standards of the "Associazione Verace Pizza napoletana" (Google it if you're a pizza nut like me). Armed with that experience and another poster's recommendation of the calamari, I ventured a second time but with my wife this time. A rather underwhelming visit. The calamari were barely blond and just consisted of the rings (sliced tube) and no tentacles. No crunch anywhere! My wife's arugula salad was an uninspired pile of leaves with a few slices of what appeared to be canned beets and a sprinkle of cheese. The appetizers were followed by the Margarita that was just OK but with no char and barely crispy crust. Service was fine. Add two soft drinks and tip and the total came to $60. Update: I appreciate the thoughtful and insightful response from the owner. I'm sure that ad hominem attacks on customers are a time-tested approach for attracting new business! read more

Great pie and all!!! Authentic coal fired pizza . Family run restaurant with good atmosphere. Check it out!!

Had the best meal here it is family owned and operated and the food is amazing from the wings which I highly suggest salad and the grandma Pizza we won't go anywhere else now Theyr'e so busy but they run a tight ship our waitress was very professional while maintaining a friendly demeanor Ànd don't leave without ordering dessert we ordered a tartufu and cannolis and a Nutella pie you'll be happy I promise we took all our leftovers home and are enjoying midday the extra zeppoles right now!
