Nino’s Coal Fired Pizza

2016 update: the finest Italian restaurant/​pizzeria in Brick. Fantastic sauces, wonderful homemade pasta, and quality meats all made very well. Plus some of the best pizza anywhere. There isn’t even a comparison that can be made to the many mediocre pizzerias in the area. A very fresh salad with great dressing and flavorful semolina bread make the experience that much better.
We’re regulars, and there just isn’t anywhere else like Nino’s in Brick with the same handcrafted care they apply to all their food items.

Don’t do delivery. We live in Silverton, 8 minutes away, and it takes them one and a half hours to deliver a large pie. The pizza arrives cold too. This has happened to us on at least three occasions. They have inexperienced teens working there too that obviously dont know what they are talking about. The only reason I give them a 3 is because the pizza is tasty. Their entrees are hit or miss, with inconsistency in what you can expect for an entrée. It’s too bad bc the pizza is actually good. I would recommend ordering pizza for pick up.

Great quality and fresh ingredients. Mozzarella stick made with fresh Moz. Give this place a try you will love it.

Plenty of Food but no flavor in the entrée. Homemade Fettucini was okay the demi glacé very bland on the Saltimbuca. Service not very attentive, almost seemed like you were keeping from going someplace. Prices average. Best meal was my daughter pizza from the kids menu. I expected better from this restaurant but was dissappointed

Was shopping at Burlington Coat Factory and decided to grab a bite before hand. Always drove by this place, heard great things about it, so I decided to see what the hype was about. The hype was correct lol to start i ordered mozz sticks, which BY THE WAY were freshly rolled fresh mozz in bread crumbs, REAL sticks. They were amazing and fresh. Our server was very nice. Service itself kitchen and wait time for food was perfect. My fiancé got the chicken michaelangelo which was also made fresh to order. I have not tried the pizza, but for sure will be back for some.

Omg I love this place the man who makes pizza sings in Italian and if you feed him wine he will serenade you! There pizza is fresh and amazing get the mozzarella sticks they are homemade and ginormous! The Michael Angelo is amazing it’s chicken parm with vodka sauce genius right?! O and by the way it’s Byob! And the liquor store is right there!

$ 5 lunch specials can’t be beat! Everything I’ve ordered here has been delicious. Staff is friendly and service is prompt. Give this place a try.

This place is hit or miss everytime I call I live in brick for over 11 years now everytime i order food for delivery the food is over an hour late shows up cold as is the case this evening… Ordered a simple calzone and wings I live three quarters of a mile away ordered at 530 it’s now 10 after 7 in the evening over an hour and a half later they already charged my credit card and no food at the door… Called back 3 times and got three different stories. Spoke to the manager the last time and had a complete unprofessional attitude about the whole situation told me it’ll be there when it gets there… Buyer beware of this place the service sucks. And the staff is incompetent. Food is hit or miss

I would mimic other posters in regards to quality of food
and pricing.
The staff seems to be made up of part time high schoolers and
College kids so professionalism is lacking, but this is basicly
a Pizza place so don, t expect much.

Have ordered from this place many times… however today our order took extrodinarily long… called and all I got was… only one driver… really??? No customer service… discount for their «stinky» service??? Disappointed… gonna reconsider my delivery choice

Had the «Sunday Gravy» and was a bit confused, looked and tasted like Bolognese sauce… Chunky, and not what I expected. Guess I should’ve ordered the pomodoro… I thought in Jersey, I’d get real Italian.

Paulies pesto sandwich for lunch. Classic. Great ingredients great taste. Grilled chicken with mozzarella cheese roasted peppers and a pesto sauce that really makes it. Semolina bread holds it together. Memorable!

Not a big fan of there pizza, but when the family goes, I get an order of there wings, they are to die for ! Different and by far my favorite wings, haven’t tried anything else

Great food, great atmosphere. Yummy cheesecake and cappuccino. Pizza is fantastic. Specials are on the money!!! Looks great smells great. Will be back soon!
:-)

Okay so the food is great. The pizza is absolutely delicious. Love the chopped salad with the homemade tomato dressing. Vodka sauce is the best around. Cannolis are a must!
The downside, the tables are on top of each other. I feel like everybody is staring at everybody else. The service is ehhhh. All friendly but they take forever. This isn’t very good for a romantic dinner out. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a hostess there. So sometimes you walk in and wait to get seated while 5 servers try to avoid eye contact with you. People who are waiting for a table are literally right next to the tables… There’s a 4 ft wall that everybody waiting leans on. If you’re at a table next to that wall you might have some of the waiters staring at you haha. The food is worth it though.

Family dinner after my step son and nephews HS graduation had 12 of us at Ninos for dinner. They accommodated us well, the waitresses were excellent, the owner friendly… then came the food. I usually give the benefit of doubt on a first visit BUT with 12 people eating and 6 of them completely disgusted at what they ordered, I have to say this was the worst food I have eaten out in a long time. Bread was shoprite quality, salad was plain lettuce, my BadaBing Chicken and shrimp was horrible. Sambuca cream sauce was sweet and overbearing. I had a disgusting film in my throat after attempting to force as much down as I could handle– I was starving. Eggplant parm was unedible, as was the chicken parm. Four people did not eat it and did not take it home with them. Calamari was like bait. Furthermore, the «family style» penne with vodka sauce… which costs $ 48…was about 2lbs worth of pasta with sauce on it. This costs about $ 10 to make. WAY OVERPRICED! The wings were ok but burnt as they are coal fired also. I’ve learned coal fired means burnt. All in all a complete disaster. Mozzarella sticks were edible for what it’s worth.

This is as good as it gets for what I consider a casual italian restaurant. The service is sometimes spotty but always very friendly. The portions that you get are unbelievable. Take advantage of the Sunset Menu ($ 11.95 for salad, entrée, pasta, coffee and dessert) if you eat before 6pm its a great deal. Also be on the lookout for Buy one get one free entrée in various flyers. Can’t beat it. We have tried several things (and all were high quality, delicious) but my favorite is the Chicken Saltimbocca. Their pasta is homemade and you can absolutely taste the difference, it’s great.
We ordered their catering for Easter and my very picky family could not have been happer (Thank you!!) The food was piping hot, trays were FILLED to the brim, and they included some loaves of bread to soak up their amazing sauces. Yum. Everyone was talking about it today and we have tons of leftovers (great value.)
We are almost embarrassed how frequently we eat here but we are so happy we found it. :) OH, and it’s BYOB!

We order for pickup here and after trying every pizza shop In southern brick for the past ten years Ninos is the best! The prices are the same as Pasquale’s but the food is much better. I’m on my way there right now!

The food is good, but the staff and waiters are lacking. This place is usually out of bread when you go and they have coupons that can be used through mobile, but they only accept them if they are printed out. Better service at their Cox Cro location.

I don’t know why my previous review isn’t showing up, but the poor customer service still far out weighs the mediocre food. It’s just not worth the wait.
