Puleo's Brick Oven - Italian restaurant in Florham Park - 162 Columbia Turnpike, USA

I have been going to Puleo’s brick oven for over 10 years and it has taken me this long to write a review! But better late then never! It is hands down one of the best restaurants in the county. I have traveled to all the surrounding Italian food options and nothing can compare!! The dishes are fresh, full of flavor and worth every penny! The tomato sauce (which is my tell tale sign of good Italian food) is AH-mazing! It doesn’t get better than this. The place is owned by father and son and they are always a warm welcome at the door. The waitstaff is delightful and the cooks are the towns hidden talent. I posted some of my favorite dishes over the years but you really can’t go wrong! The seafood is always spectacular! They can accommodate gluten free and vegans if you ask, and yeah… I could go on and on! But so so good.

Amazing food and service 100/10!

My husband and I ate here for the first time last night with another couple and our young children. The service was great and the food was outstanding. It was a very warm and welcoming environment for a young family. We will be back!

Best calamari I’ve ever had. I still can’t find a place to beat it!!! I am a Puleo’s regular, their food is so darn good. The cream of the crop! I went in the other night for the meat special, I can’t stop thinking about it. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. You really can’t go wrong here. From one Italian to another it’s Italian made the way your grandma would. The personal thin crust pies are fantastic, everyone that works there is so nice and can always accommodate requests to change or add things to my meals when I’m feeling picky or difficult. Bottom line. CHECK THEM OUT!

I have been there more than 5 times and its consistently very good. There is a nice selection of food: pizza, meat and seafood. It helps to make a reservation on a busy night. Went here again with friends. Waitress was Kat and she was awesome. Great food as always.

I was introduced to this by a friend who lives in the area. I always try to stop here whenever I am here visiting or for business. Great food. You feel like family here.

Do not get take out here, they will get your order wrong and it will be bad quality. Back in May 2021 I ordered a simple chicken Marsala with linguini and calamari. The calamari was rubbery and inedible. The chicken Marsala was somehow separated from the linguini and the linguini had tomato sauce on top of it which I DID NOT ask for and am allergic to. When I called to tell them they made the order wrong, Chuck replied that’s just how we make it, get something different next time, refused to take responsibility or apologize, and refused to refund any money despite their obvious mistakes. I ended up getting food poisoning from this food later that night. A waste of $50. I used to be a loyal customer, I won’t be returning until things get better and they correct this mistake. Don’t waste your money here.

Me and my girls love to come here for our monthly get together. Life is so busy and something about Puleo’s food and welcoming environment keeps us coming back. They have so many healthy options that are much tastier than your everyday boring salad. Bringing our own bottles of wine is a super plus!!
