Charlie’s Pizza

Best pizza in Jersey!!! Never had a bad meal there. Chicken Parm is out of this world.

Best Pizzeria around! Ok customer service. Always packed! Prices are a little expensive but fair.

Worst delivery and service I have ever experienced. Charlie’s offers an online ordering, similar to chain pizza places like Pizza Hut. I set the order time for 2:30pm, I hop in the shower and get out around 1:30, door bell rings. Um, ok?
I answer the door, «Do you have another card or cash? You’re credit card was declined, tried it three times.» I apologized saying I have no other form of payment. «I can’t just give you the food you know.» So I nicely said, not asked even though I did question «can you wait 5 min I can figure this out.» He says «no» drives away with my food. As irritated by that, I called up the place and told them «hi I placed an order for delivery and my card was declined three times, the delivery guy drove off after I told him to wait, my card is good now I made a transfer.» And he says, «your card was declined three times I tried it already.» Really? Instead of ignoring my complaint about him driving off right there, you tell me you tried it three times? TELL ME SOMETHING I DO NOT KNOW!
He eventually tried it a fourth time, it worked, and I didn’t catch what he said after, so I said «I’m sorry?» And he says «yeah bye.»
With that being said, the same delivery guy comes back, I apologized (even though he was the one who drove off) and my apology was non-​existent. «Sign here, pen is in there.» I signed, handed me pizza, forgot my fries back at the restaurant, so he began apologizing and threatened his own coworkers, saying he «is going to shoot them.»
I waited for the cheese fries, everything was cleared up, with cold food. Not like lukewarm or not all-​that hot, I mean like frozen cold! Since I was in the shower I had two missed calls from Charlie’s about the decline, never thinking to check my phone.
Bottom line, I should’ve waited to order when I got out of the shower and not use the online BULLSHIT. I’ll take the blame for that. However, delivering my food 1hr early, driving off and being impatient, and shall I mention his speed in a neighborhood road to get the cheese fries back? This jerk was willing to kill someone by being so stupid and careless about safety. 50+mph for sure on a 35 mph road, dumbass!
I suggest eating there, or not at all. If it wasn’t for the dickhead on the phone I would eat there still, but poor customer service = a big fat FUCK YOU I’m not eating here again!

Just your average pizza place. Ate there for the first time in year and the pizza was good, not amazing but good. I had a white slice with broccoli and a plain and my fiancé got BBQ chicken (white pie) and cheese steak. We shared a soda and it was only $ 12.00, which I I think wasn’t to bad of a price.
The guy working the counter was so unhappy it was ridiculous!
I will eat here again but it is about average.

I order from Charlie’s pretty frequently, mostly because it’s convenient and consistent. The pizza is okay — I’ve definitely had better, but I’ve also had way worse — but their calzones are nicely done. I stay with the small ones to make sure they aren’t undercooked at all; nothing like a mouthful of raw pizza dough, and I have had that happen here once.
I’ve eaten just about everything they have on the menu over the last ten years, and as with anywhere, some things are better than others, The hot and cold subs are generally very good, though the cheesesteaks are nothing to write home about. I’m of the opinion that they should toast the hot subs in the oven for a bit, but they don’t, so that’s that.
The baked dishes are pretty standard; I often get the eggplant rollatini, and my wife seems to like the lasagna. She also orders the chicken parmesan from time to time, which I have also had, and it’s not bad at all. Bear in mind, this is not a Michelin starred restaurant, it’s a take-​out pizza joint, and you get what you pay for. Contrary to a previous reviewer’s assertion, the food is not terrible, nor is it «grossly overpriced». But you already know to disregard people who feel the need to use more than one exclamation point, I’m sure.
The buffalo wings on offer are actually very good, but they’re a bit stingy with the blue cheese, so make sure you ask for extra, even with the small order.
I also suggest that the more toppings you add to your pizza, the better it is going to taste. The pizza sauce they use is a bit salty, and adding toppings obscures that fact.
As I said previously, the restaurant is very consistent; everything always tastes exactly the same as it did the time before, so there is no guesswork necessary. If you like shrimp scampi, and you didn’t care for it when you first ordered it here, there’s no need to try a second time. Conversely, if you enjoyed something, it too will taste exactly the same the second, third, and twentieth times around, and that is a key to any successful restaurant, and why I’ve been ordering from Charlie’s for at least a decade.

This pizza rocks. I’ve ordered pizza from nearly everywhere in Toms River, and Charlies is always consistent and satisfying. Give them a try!

Terrible terrible food Tasteless and Grossly overpriced!
Plus they screwed up a very simple order, we’ve. Given them a few chances But I’m threw with this place!
