Emilio’s Restaurant & Pizzeria

Good pizza, their other options are good as well. They always give a generous portion. Their to go desserts are really yummy. Service is always very friendly :)

Be aware that the prices listed on their website have not been updated since they raised their prices. That being said, if you order an entrée the portion is huge and comes with a large side of pasta /​side salad.

Best pizza in town hands down. Big fan of pizza and there are many average to below avg places around where this one stands above them all. I’d like to see them get more into specialty pies but what they got to offer is nothing short of perfect. Monja Monja!

Just ordered from here for the first and last time. For the amount of money we spent, the food was barely edible. The California Chicken Cheesesteak was bizarre– steak on the bottom with a chicken breast placed on top. The seafood risotto was bland and disgusting. The chicken Marsala tasted strongly of beef bouillon, not a normal taste for that dish. And the calzone consisted of lunch meat and a pound and a half of unseasoned cheese. Will gladly drive across town to eat at a quality place.

Excellent food! Fresh ingredients. Humongous portions!!!

The food here is good. The place is busy due to its location cause there isn’t too many options that are convenient. Parking is bad and making a left out of the lot is dangerous at times. All things said isn’t to die for but it is good but not willing to walk down the block for an average take out meal.

Great pizza, consistently. Our go-​to place. This place is always busy, probably because their entrees are also surprisingly really good.

If you’re looking for a good neighborhood Italian restaurant, Emilio’s is a place to check out. Their pizza’s really good, authentic Jersey style thin crust.
Have also had a few different parm sandwiches which didn’t dissapoint.
The place is clean with friendly staff. They also have a dining room which I’m looking forward to going to.
Prices are average, nothing crazy, & portions are good.
Only thing is, they don’t deliver.
I also see they have ice cream, which I’m looking forward to.

This place is not fancy but has delicious food! We placed a large but simple order of pizza, eggplant parm, chicken parm, and dinner salads. Everything we ordered was well prepared and tasted fantastic. Our relatives, who live in Toms River, recommended this place and they had it right!

I have been coming here for many years when my mom/​dad/​sister and I would visit my grandparents in Toms River.
Now, it’s just visiting my grandfather. But this place has more than great memories for my family and I. It has great food!
They’ve recently updated their signage and plates used in the restaurant. And I’m not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me, but I swear their portions have gotten larger! They offer a lunch/​early bird menu as well as their regular dinner menu.
Their pizza is great. A thin, light and crispy crust. Their sauce is super tasty and the cheese is perfect. Really great pizza, especially for the area. Their signature Emilio’s Salad is awesome. Their house dressing is one of the best I’ve ever had. I’ve tried to replicate it and have come pretty close. It’s oil, red wine vinegar with diced red onion and tons of fresh garlic. It’s perfection.
Their minestrone soup is the best I’ve ever had. It’s tomato based with lots of veggies and chick peas.
I’m a vegetarian and I LOVE eggplant, so I usually stick to that. Their eggplant parm is a huge portion of eggplant and a huge portion of pasta all for $ 9.95. The price is insane. I admit the pasta doesn’t seem like the best quality, at the very least it’s never al dente. But, for the price and overall quality of everything else… pretty awesome.
Honestly, the soup, salad and pizza are enough to keep my family coming back for many, many years. The rest of their stuff won’t disappoint, either.

Nice staff, typical lousy NJ Shore pizza.

Emilio’s has the best pizza in Manchester. I have dined in formally, sat in the casual section and had takeout. Whether it is traditional Italian meal or simply a slice of pizza, the quality of the food is outstanding. The portions and prices are excellent values. I only wish they delivered.
