Brooklyn Square Pizza — Restaurant in Manalapan Township

Brooklyn Square has long been on my list of places to try. Pete Genovese ranked it as #1 in New Jersey in 2019 and my good friend and fellow pizza enthusiast Dom has been pushing for me to visit for the longest time. It was by luck that I happened to be near the Manalapan location for work, so counted my lucky stars and stopped in for lunch. I wanted to try everything they had on display, it all looked amazing. I opted for the Brooklyn Square, the vodka sauce, and the Nonna. The Brooklyn Square slice had a soft, thick base with delicious cheese and an incredibly flavorful sauce that was packed full of spices. The vodka slice had the perfect, creamy, cheesy vodka sauce that every pizzeria strives for. It also featured a thin, crispy base that provides a good structure for the slice. The Nonna had a phenomenal, thick, juicy, sweet sauce and was complimented with great cheese and the same crispy base as the vodka slice. I know where I'm stopping if I'm ever back in the area. I'm definitely going to make the pilgrimage to the Jackson location when I...

This place is hit or miss and always takes longer than they say. Usually try to look past it cause I like the sesame seeds on the pizza but tonight was frustrating. Ordered 1 large pie well done. Estimate delivery was 1.5 to 1 hour and 45 min. Pretty crazy but fine. I had to call to follow up and pizza still came after 2 hours. No sesame seeds either. I politely mentioned my dissatisfaction to the driver since I knew it was rush hour and didn’t want to slow them down hoping maybe they would rectify the situation later. A manager named Gabby called and at first seemed sympathetic. Was hoping they would consider taking care of the cost of the pie that night or maybe a future pie. They offered another pie tonight but why would I want another pie tonight and wait forever for it. I worked all day and only had 4 hours till job number 2 at 9pm. I was hoping i could express my dissatisfaction civilly to their face but the snippy comments I received from her did it in for me. ...

I started following a FB group for pizzas and came across this spot. I know ppl rave a lot of this style of pizza so decided to give it a try. It’s definitely heavy but hey its pizza, u r supposed to feel like a fat a$$ after you eat. 😂

Ordered the pie and picked it up in 29min. The sauce was flavorful, hint of sweetness cuts through the tanginess of the tomatoes. I loaded up my slice with an overload of chili flakes and voila, I was in a zone that I can’t really express. I had the middle piece first followed by the end piece. Totally bliss !!!

The only thing I would change for next time is to have them cook a lil more, to make it crispy. I popped my slices on a pan and they were perfect.

Will def eat here again. If you haven’t checked this place out, stop by today and...
