Margherita Pizza Co — Restaurant in Surf City

If you can find something to complain about maybe rethink your life choices. The service is beyond amazing. From walking in the door to the lovely hostesses, to attentive and helpful servers, to the hardworking guys in the kitchen (including the new guy learning to work the dough- we sat at the bar and you improved tremendously in an hour and half buddy! Nice job and the guy training was spectacular) you couldn’t ask for more.

Nice wine selection and reasonable prices. Had a lovely montepulciano d'abruzzo that was perfect with the food and not overpriced.

We had a margherita pizza and calzone with some add ins on a rec from our server. Both were perfectly cooked and the calzone was oozing with cheese and the crusts on both were to die for. I know people like to get very judgey about pizza and I’ve enjoyed it from all over the world. I’d travel back for this in a heartbeat. Lastly came the impulse to indulge in the cheesecake with strawberries. Pretty sure you could get arrested for the sounds and faces I made eating this cheesecake. I’m not a dessert person but this was one of the best. It’s dense and very cheesy, with a thin layer of crust and a light and fluffy whipped crème. It’s a large serving and even when you’re full, you need to make room!

Start to finish, this place is an...

I have had the pleasure of dining here 3 times. First time was an impromptu lunch date and was absolutelydelicious, second time girl's night with subpar service, but delicious food, then the 3rd with my hubby. The consistency of the food and their product seems to change. Let me clarify that I do not mean their menu changes, but how they serve the dishes. My antipasta salad came out on a charcuterie board with a huge amount of cheese, 5 small slices of meat and a small bowl you use for condiments like ranch or a side with peppers and olives. For the price tag on this alone was upsetting. The ratio of cheese to meat and veggies was totally off. We ended up taking the cheese home to share with our pups. I ordered the caprese salad, which I order every time I dine there. This also was completely different as they chopped it up into little cubes with barely any basil. The service could use a little more help. Please stop having your staff standing around at the bar area socializing with one another instead of watching the tables. I had to raise my hand like a child in school waiting for the teacher to come over. This is a gorgeous small eatery, just wish it would be consistent. I will definitely give them...

We came here on date night and it was a great experience. We sat at the bar with a clear view of the wood oven to watch the cooks. My husband ordered an Italian beer and I ordered a sangria. We enjoyed our drinks! One of the best sangrias I have had, included cut up strawberries and grapefruit.

For an appetizer, we ordered Diane’s Chicken Meatballs, it was melt in your mouth delicious! The sauce and cheese were a great addition to the juicy meatballs. We also ordered a Caesar Salad, it was so large, could feed 3 people. It was a good quality cheese and croutons. It did not too much dressing.

We both ordered personal pizzas, queen margarita and NY cheese with mushrooms added. This is the best pizza I have had in this area by far! It’s thin crust, wood oven cooked to perfection.

For dessert, we split the cheesecake with Caramel drizzle on top with whipped cream. It was so good and melt in your mouth!

Our waitress was friendly and took our order and checked on us at the right time. She was pleasant with each request we had, extra side of sauce, extra plates, and a box to go with leftovers. She was smiling and professional.

I would highly recommend! Great atmosphere, great food,...
