Johnny G's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria - Italian restaurant in Toms River - 1812 Hooper Ave, USA

First of all, ask yourself…why would I take the time to write a review when there are so many other things I could be doing? It’s very simple, really. I just had a fantastic experience at JOHNNY G’S… and I would love for everyone to have the same! From the moment I walked in the door the young woman behind the counter was so welcoming and kind, it made me feel totally at home. I had just gone swimming, so I was very hungry…so I ordered the eggplant Parm and also the fettuccine Alfredo! I know, you’ll probably laugh when you hear that I ordered a diet root beer to go with it, but hey- to each his own! Anyways, both dishes were absolutely delicious! The eggplant Parm was so fresh, and the sauce was just right – not too sweet and not too salty. I’m pure Italian, so I know about sauce! The chef came out to ask how things were and I’m pretty sure the owner checked in on me as he walked by. Everyone was so nice-it’s the kind of place you just feel like family instantly. I’m not getting any kickbacks or anything for writing this and I don’t know anyone who works there, in case you’re wondering. I simply feel enthusiastic when I enjoy delicious food, and really outstanding service. Let’s face it, this day and age- people being warm and caring is such a blessing! Thank you to everyone at JOHNNY G’S!

Decided to take the Can Am Ryker out for yesterday afternoon ride... The goal was to get the wheels rolling and fluids moving after a long stay at the Motorcycle Hospital for Warranty Repairs... Part of the mission was to get some pizza slices. The first stop was Johnny G's on Hooper Ave., Tom's River. Been here a few times.... Had a Plain slice and a Pepperoni Square slice. Both were delicious. While enjoying this portion of my lunch, decided to check out via Google for other spots that I haven't visited and found a place called Villagio Pizza. It's only 0.4 miles away heading towards Brick, NJ.

Last time I’ve been to this pizza place four months ago I had a great experience this time my fiancée and niece went to get pizza and not only do I have a problem with getting served three cold slices of soggy pizza. I tried to talk to the owner about possibly getting an exchange and he tells me to just throw it in the oven. That’s not how you treat customers. I live 6 mins away pizza shouldn’t get cold that easily. Rude. Never again. This is a family own business.WHAT IS THIS YOURE SERVING AND THEN SAY YOU DID NOTHING WRONG ???

A great place with delicious food and nice people there who helped me the last time I ate there; Soon I’ll also use their dinner dining room and get delivery too, in the future! I recommend them to everyone!

I was hungry for sub for my ride home to North Carolina, I got an amazing sandwich, Thank you

The receptionists taking the order are always friendly. Our only complaint with the pizza is that it's hit or miss. It really depends on whoever the cook is that night. It's either completely amazing or extremely greasy and lackluster. Luckily the past few times have been very good but for a while there, it was a 50-50 chance you were getting overly greasy pizzas. Seems like maybe that cook is gone now or we've been lucky with recent orders.

Delicious consistency in every bite. I’ve never been let down by Johnny G’s! Their Detroit Pizza is a must try!

I've been here a few times and I always enjoy their food. They also have a Johnny G's salad that's awesome. I've even dined in the dining room and the entrees were great. Overall it's a good neighborhood spot with some old school flavors and pie making techniques that matter.
