Olivia's II Pizza and Pasta

I had been eating garbage since getting into town and wanted to try a local restaurant. I just so happen to see Olivia’s on Google so I made the short trip. I nearly skipped out on this place because it looked tiny and a bit odd from the parking lot. I won’t sure that I could even dine in. It honestly looked like a take out only Chinese type place. They actually had a nice and quiet area in the back for dine in customers with plenty of booths and tables. The food was awesome! The bread and pizza were both absolutely delicious. Being from NC, I never really have the opportunity to enjoy authentic Italian food and I’m a pizza lover. I could say it again and again. The place exceeded my expectations! The waitress was a sweetheart and the lady working the register was as nice as she could be.

We had an amazing time at Olivia’s II. John is an amazing chef and host. The pizza was the best and we really appreciated the suggestion to have a round Grandma pizza to contrast with the square Honey Bomb. The Thai wings were phenomenal and the wrapped artichoke hearts were marvelously paired their special sauce. Fried calamari was spot on and John’s special red sauce is truly magical.

Over our last several visits, the service has consistently declined. On one occasion when we ordered pickup, the older woman at the front was scolding a family, telling them the back seating was “table service only.” They had ordered slices and a Caesar salad, and no one offered them the option to dine in or explained the seating beforehand. Another time, when we arrived intending to dine in, the same woman abruptly said, “There’s no room,” without offering a wait time, alternatives, or the option for takeout. Today was the final straw. My daughter was eating her cutie pie (which is six small pieces). I had eaten two

I rarely write reviews, but John's pizza at Olivia's in Eatontown is so good that I couldn't resist. I'm 100% Italian, so I am pretty particular about pizza, especially the sauce. This is the best pizza I have ever had, and it's my go to when I get the craving. See my posted picture. This is not a produced advertisement picture, but the actual slice I just had today. Crust is perfect, no flop, with the perfect crunch. Sauce is excellent, nothing more to say. I always get the large with mushrooms, eggplant, roasted red peppers, and spinach, with extra sauce. If that ever comes as an option, they should call it the Bruno. My usual order is a large house salad with extra chicken, to be health conscious, and then the pizza to indulge. It's heavenly. The rest of the food is also excell
