Keansburg Pizza — Restaurant in Keansburg

Gather round, and I'll spin ye a yarn! I was looking for a new pizza place to try in my area tonight as prior dinner engagements fell through. I found an interesting location I haven't seen before, "the angry tomato". I thought boy this sounds interesting and surely if they have tomato in the name the sauce must be exquisite! I ordered for pickup because I refuse to subsidize delivery drivers wages while slimy pizza shop owners underpay their staff. When I arrived at the location I saw large sign out front that says "pizza". Excellent I'm in the right place. But once I stepped inside I was very confused. Nowhere did it say angry tomato. In fact I couldn't even tell I was in a pizzeria. Everywhere I looked I kept seeing "Mediterranean grill". Surely I'm not in the right place I thought. But I gave the nice young man at the counter my name and sure enough there was a pie with my name on it. It was hard to hide my disgust and bewilderment. The pie was almost 20$ and taste like something I could get at a food court or a school cafeteria. Nevermind the fact that this place is operating like a ghost kitchen. First and last time going here for anything. If you are wise enough to read reviews before you order, you may have just avoided ruining your dinner. I was waiting for the sleaze bag owner to respond to my review. Maybe if you focused on the feedback instead of trying to get the last word in defending your trash food, your sauce wouldn't taste like it came from a jar. Also if you READ my review, you would know I WISH I read reviews BEFORE I ordered. Which if I did, I never would have spent money here. Have a nice...

5:14p: called and placed an order for 1 large plain pie, 1 Detroit cheese pie. Told it would be 25 - 30 mins for pickup.

5:44: paid for order, began the wait at the pizzeria.

5:50: overheard the owner tell the girl taking phone orders not to promise 30 minutes. I have a feeling I’m in trouble.

6:00: observing the drama involving door dash drivers not getting their food on time. They’re not paid to wait. Still no pizza for me.

6:15: the owner is yelling at his staff about many things. Other people behind the counter are chatting and don’t seem to be helping the situation. I feel like I’m in an episode of Bar Rescue before Jon Taffer comes in like a wrecking ball.

6:20: the owner says, “the last thing I need is a door dash delivery driver telling me what to do”

6:45 finally went up to the register to request a refund. I was done waiting. Was finally given two pies I ordered. They were probably for whomever was going to complain next. I guess it makes sense being that the place is named Angry Tomato. More like Hangry Tomato because you won’t be eating on time.

7:00 ate a decent round pie. The Detroit was floppy and lacking flavor. Gave one extra star for...

Bought a Margarita pizza and opened it to find a regular pizza with sauce thrown on top, the owner is a disgusting arrogant individual I simply requested that the pizza be fixed and he gave me a lecture about this is not how business is done and that he’ll refund my money upon going into the store. He took the pizza back but then only refunded $20 after charging me 24 and tax I consider this theft, and want everybody to know that this place does not respect customers and false advertises as their menu states, fresh mozzarella, and basil as a margarita, but they use no basil do not have basil in the restaurant that is fresh or shredded to put on top of a pizza and used standard pizza cheese changing the order of the ingredients does not make margarita and then refusing to refund the customer fully after telling them to bring the pizza back taking it and not finding after I told him the refund was incorrect he told me to take the 20 and that I’m lucky I got that when the pizza was untouched and he offered the refund...
