Serpico's Pizza — Restaurant in Brick Township

One of the better pizza places in Brick. A plain large pie is $15, unheard of when others cost $20. Their crust is light and thin and fresh dough.

Compared to New Corner in Red Bank and Chiafullo, the pizzas there are hit or miss. I haven’t figured out why New Corner pizza tastes great when hot but when it’s room temp, the dough becomes chewy and tough. This doesn’t happen at Serpico.

Italian speaking family owns this place and it’s not surprising that their pizzas are great. It seems a pattern that Italian born restaurant owners have great pride in their craft and it shows. Just like Pizza Bianco in AZ is rated as one of the best pizzas in the US by James Beard and the best I’ve ever tasted. Vito Iacopelli, an Italian chef on YouTube, who owns a pizza restaurant in Italy and in CA doesn’t compromise on quality and teaches you how to make quality NYC and Neopolitan pizzas at home using a secret called Poolish.

Their garlic knots are wonderful, fresh and not dry, like New Corner in Red Bank or overly soaked in oil, like Chiafullo in Middletown. The accompanying sauce has flavor and not bland like most.

Their pies actually have plenty of toppings. A pepperoni pizza actually has the whole pie covered with pepperoni so you don’t get just a slice on your slice like many others. Also their chicken pies are loaded with chicken, not sparsely spread like so many others.

Optional toppings are plentifully provided on custom pizzas. You have to try their sausage topping, full of flavor and worth it.

The wings are crispy fried and good. The option with buffalo sauce on the side is perfect to ensure a crispy wing.

The eggplant sub comes with a crispy baked bread that provides the perfect texture instead of a soft mushy typical Italian bread commonly found elsewhere.

It’s not surprising that they have a line of tickets hanging on a Friday night.

My new favorite pizza place when I don’t have the time to...

An outstanding meal. We are in town for a long weekend at a local hotel. Decided to order take out through their app. Supper efficient ordering and it was ready ahead of schedule. To say the portions are generous is an understatement, the “side” of pasta with our chicken and veal parm was more than any typical restaurant’s pasta entree. The marinara sauce was excellent and definitely not “watery “ at all. The chicken and veal portions could easily be two orders at any other joint. They were deep fried so the flavor was slightly lost to the deep fryer. However, they were very tender and juicy. My kids ordered linguini marinara with meatballs and loved it. I ordered two side orders of meatballs not knowing how massive they were...I like to see how others make them. The meatballs were surely homemade and were phenomenal as well. I’m a sauce guy, so I don’t mind having the pasta and meatballs“drowning “ in marinara sauce. They were super friendly and very helpful with providing us with what we needed to dine in our hotel room. If I was a local, this would be my place! Give it a try, I doubt you’ll be...

I genuinely have no idea how this place has good reviews by many people it is truthfully horrible like by all categories not even remotely good in any way this is now my third time trying this place because I think all places deserve a fair chance but honestly I don’t know how people chew this food and swallow if the food was free I’d still throw it out the chicken tenders is like eating a soggy unseasoned sponge and should not be served to people It can not be real food the pizza was just so sad nasty soggy no flavor garbage a sheet of drywall has more personality than that pizza did I would be ashamed to cook put this food in a box and tell people to enjoy they’re dinner the pizza is 2/10 and the chicken tenders are not real food anyone leaving a good review needs to go out on a nice dinner because they don’t...
