Amazing Detroit and grandma style pizza with many other choices located in the old Matawan movie theater There also vegan/vegetarian options so stop by if you're in the area.

Pizza is amazing. The Rocket was so good. The cheese combination was creamy and delicious. If you like a little spice try the Beekeeper with a honey drizzle, hot Italian sausage, and hot chili oil. Really good. Limited menu other than pizza. We enjoyed our dinner. Quite noisy. Lots of kids. Service was wonderful.

Overall the food was amazing and the service was.... We came with a large group. I assumed with this big of a party the waitress would've worked harder to impress us to receive a bigger tip but... no. It was clear she didn't give a sh** about us or her job. Right off the bat she started making passive aggressive comments about how one of our attendees wanted a drink that had already been ordered so she was upset she had to go back and make the same order. To question whether a waitress would actually spit in your drink should never be a question that comes to mind while dining at a restaurant. But we did. Then she yelled at our table asking if we were ready to place our order in a way that made us all feel like we had no choice. We weren't given the leisure of choosing our meal we were forced into picking something quickly. Next, she came over with water, which seemed like a nice gesture, but she conveniently knocked one our party members in the head and did not say a single word about it while placing it on the table. Also when innocently asked if the check could be split multiple ways, she seemed upset and annoyed at our audacity to even ask her such a thing. As if a large party would even consider splitting the bill multiple ways? The nicest she had been to us all night was the moment we all stood up to leave. Her enthusiasm to have us walk out that door was unmatched. The service sucked but oh yeah the pizza was amazing. Highly recommended the food but beware the service will make u want to cry. Maybe if we had the nice bubbly waiter next to us instead of our cold hearted waitress we may have had a better experience
Absolutely love Alternate Ending! My father and I go weekly now and always love it. I've tried almost all of their beers and, even though IPAs are usually too hoppy for me I've been thrilled with everything. The food is also ALWAYS incredible. I especially love their bar pies, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu that I've found so far.I also want to especially shout out the service. Wonderful people working here. Kristin and Kiana are extremely welcoming, positive, and attentive. Chef Kyle in the back does fantastic work and makes a point to say hello. We always sit in the dining room so I've yet to meet the bartenders, but judging by their work (I've tried some of the cocktails as well) and everyone else at Alternate Ending, I bet they're great as well.Alternate Ending day is my favorite part of the week, for sure. Highly HIGHLY recommend it.Favorite menu items: "Some Like it Hot" Bar Pie and the Pulled Pork Sandwich.

Detroit-style pizza and IPAs here can’t be beat!

My son and I go here once a week to eat. The food is above excellent as is it's presentation. Staples plus adventurous treatments of old-standbys and new combinations of ingredients add to the experience. Kristin, Kiana, and Jaimee make for more than a pleasant experience - they make it feel like home. Kyle, head chef, always cheerful and interested in feedback from us as to his dishes. The restaurant is in an old movie theater - but bright and airy. They do have a part of the restaurant where they show movies. As well as a full service bar. If you're a beer aficionado, you don't want to miss this place. If you're a food aficionado - don't pass it by either. And if you're a person who wants it all - this place has it all.

Nice brewery in a complex on 34 in Aberdeen, NJ. I came here on a Friday night with some friends to celebrate a birthday and the vibes were all there! We tried a bunch of different beers from the menu, half pours were about $5-6. They had a range of beers and IPAs, as well as wine and cocktails so there was something for everybody. I can be picky about what beers I enjoy but our server was super helpful with giving out suggestions based on our taste. I enjoyed all his recommendations, including the What If? and the Inconceivable beer. They have TVs going, a huge movie type screen playing Netflix in the back room area they have, and many tables for groups and smaller parties. Something to note was their PIZZA! It is not like an ordinary New Jersey pizza spot. The pizza is made either Detroit style or grandma style. However, it's a sourdough pan pizza. This was very different for me but it was delicious! Very filling, thick slices, but the flavor & crunch was certainly there. I wasn't sure if I would enjoy it but I did! I do love sourdough so definitely try it if you are a fan like me! Note that you can sub a gluten-free sourdough crust for $3! The Rocket pizza (white topped with arugula) was great and so was the Classic. The slices are super filling though, especially paired with beers. The vibes were awesome, staff was nice, food and drinks were great, and I would definitely come back to this place!! Note the parking lot can be busy on weekends but we just parked next door and walked over, no problem.

We’ve been to AE dozens of times since they opened. Everything is terrific from the food, beers, cocktails, service and atmosphere. Tons of gluten free and vegan options, too! Love sitting outside on the dog friendly patio.
