The new location is very spacious and love what they have done to it.
Wait to be seated for less than 15 minutes on a Saturday night, so it was not bad at all.
The service was exceptional, but the pizza was mediocre this time around. The pizza had a ton of oil on top due to the pesto, was not crisp enough, and seemed undercooked.
I hope to come back again though and try some of their specialty pies.

I order the Crunchy Chicken Caesar Wrap with fries and Cheese Garlic Spin wheels. The food was good, it warm when I got it because it was deliver but I bet if I had dine in or done takeout it would have taste very good and hot. Everything taste fresh. No regrets. Will keep trying different items of the menu. Their Philly Cheesesteak sub and mozzarella sticks are really good.

I've heard great things about this place, was excited to try it. However when I got there, no one was there to seat us and when we did get seated we waited over 20 minutes before we decided to leave. Nobody even came up to us even after making eye contact with out servers. Place wasn't crowded, just pure negligence. First time I walked out of a restaurant.

While the pizza is good they have just lost a good customer because they refused to deliver because I was 1 yes ONE block past 35. I had planned on placing a decent order from them and asked if they would make an exception. My request was DENIED for 1 block. Terrible customer service. I can see if I was miles away but 1 block really?

What a great experience at Espositos Pizza! Food was fantastic, my husband got the spicy shrimp fra diavlo and I got the lemony shrimp franchise and we were so happy with our order! Not a lot of places can pull off Italian pastas but this place was above and beyond our expectations. Our server was quick and attentive and our food came out hot and in a timely manor. Family friendly atmosphere is quaint and comfortable. High quality Italian food at a great price. Highly highly recommend!

This place hands down has the best gluten free bolognese penne I've ever had. I can't find or recreate a sauce that even compares to it. My boyfriend and I ordered once a week, solely so I could get my pasta fix. The house dressing for the salads is delicious and the chicken parmigiana sandwich is his favorite thing on the menu. the gluten free mozzarella sticks are the best I've ever had. They always delivered quickly and it was never cold... sometimes we had to heat up the mozzarella sticks but no biggie. We moved away and have been missing it soooo much!

Overall, I'm more likely to give this restaurant a 4-star review but I'm giving a 5 due to 2 factors: wonderful staff, great soup, and incredible sesame seed crust pizza.
The sesame seed crust is outstanding but avoid #12 I think it was on their menu as carmelized onions (which are sweet), have no place on any pizza.
Their tortellini soup is in a tomato base with spinach and its great.

They give back to the community in so many ways. At the beginning of Covid they provided meals for anyone who needed it. I heard they gave paper goods to sr centers as well. But their pizza is also really good. They did not chintz on the pepperoni, cheese was nicely gooey and the sauce was delicious. Their curbside is like cloak work also.

This was our first time visiting the new location. We ordered takeout for our mom's birthday and decided to try a variety of their dishes: chicken, veal, seafood, eggplant, etc. Overall, the entrees were good and generously portioned. We had enough leftovers for another meal or two afterwards. The eggplant parm was a bit dry and not as good as other places I've been to. The chicken francese and veal & pepper parmigiano were very good, though. Taking into account their prices for these portions, we'll come by again.

Figured I'd give Esposito's a try since my go to is usually round pie. Ordered a Margarita pie with sesame seeds. Here's where it went wrong..as I took the box out of my car, oil was dripping out of the box. I had to place the box outside the house and get a towel so it didn't drip all over my house (yes the oil got all over my car seat.
EASILY TBE GREASIEST PIZZA I HAD IN MY LIFE. Crust had consistency of being microwaved the next day ..super chewy with no crunch.
Will not return.

Wow! My husband I spent at least 30 min debating where to get pizza last night since Angelo's was closed on Sunday. We landed on Esposito's and I am so glad that we did! We had a chef salad and #12 Sesame pie with sausage, carmelized onions and cheese. It was DELICIOUS! I have pizza maybe once a year and man, this was so good! This was my first time eating sesame pizza. I totally get it! The chef salad was huge with ALOT of ham and turkey. We will definitely be coming back here!
Thank you!
PS. This is for the Matawan branch.

Went here with a few friends for dinner. Great, spaced out outdoor seating. The waitress had a mask on, clean place!
Between the five of us, we got a salad pasta and one pie of pizza.. and there were leftovers! Large quantities
We started off with the walnut gorgonzola salad which was absolutely delicious.
I didn't love the garlic olive oil pasta. We topped it with their sautéed spinach, a little bland for me.
Their sesame margarita pizza was phenomenal. Their sauce was delicious, soft buttery sesame seeded crust
Also, a huge plus- it's BYOB
Overall, would highly recommend this

OK, I should review my Espositio's experience since this is the second pie during Covid-19. A review of pizza is subjective due to ones initial introduction of this savory carb and fatty food adored by all. My first pizza slice was a NY pizza from a pizza joint located near the corner of Bayard and Mulberry Street in N when I was 8 . It was a thin crust, kinda soggy, and loaded with cheese... a classic NY slice dripping with grease and piping hot from the re-heat in the oven. When folded to create that ridge to give the slice some stability, grease would drip out the back of the crust.

They have two locations: one in Matawan and the other is in Manasquan. While I have visited both, the one I'll be writing a review on is the one in Matawan.
Fun fact about me, I absolutely adore pizza. In fact, when I was pregnant, pizza was one of my top cravings. I love going to different pizzerias and trying their pies. I've learned from one of my fellow Yelpers to always order a margarita slice before ordering any other specialty pie to truly be able to taste the sauce first.
Esposito's offer special menu items at all different price points for each day of the week. This
