Fantastic food and the staff is incredibly friendly and nice. The specialty slices are incredible, the grandma pie with the basil garlic mixture sprinkled on top is amazing and the steak and potatoe slice is epic.

Finally got the chance to try some slice's of ? pizza from this Small Business that I've driven past on 4 wheels and on 3 wheel's many times...Today's Lunch was very delicious and possibly one of the better ones!!!Kit Dwight chose a Plain slice and a Rice Ball.When her food arrived, she had gotten the slice ? first and after several bite's the Rice Ball arrived in a lake of sauce and mozzarella cheese on top.She moves the remaining portion of the slice and begins to enjoy what she has identified as the Best Rice Ball that she ever had.Every bite apparently was delicious as the first.She decided to not finish the slice, though it was also very good and redirected the leftover to me...All of the slices were delicious.My first slice was a thick crust Pepperoni Slice and the second was what was identified to me as a Grandma - Margherita Square Slice...Both of these slices were so tasty, delicious and made with high quality ingredients...This establishments product, definitely could compete with any and all of the 400+ Pizzerias that we have visited since that First visit to Papa's Tomato Pies in Robbinsville, New Jersey in February 2017 after reading one of the many NJ Star Ledger's Best Pizza in NJ by Peter Genovese...

What a shame. The food at Decaro’s is always great. The service is an actual atrocity, multiple times my orders have just not been made, sometimes their tablet batteries die so they don’t get orders, they’re almost always late with delivery and never take any responsibility for these issues.

Oh let me count the ways I love this pizzeria. 1) they offer deals on Slice, every day of the week- not limited to Mon. Or Tues. Look this may not be forever, but if you were ever thinking about trying this place you can't go wrong with a great deal. 2) every deal includes a plain pie and let me tell you- it is OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD! SERIOUSLY, I am no expert- but I have lived at the shore all 30+ years of my life and they are by far my favorite pie, EVER. I had my husband and two of his friends try and they were also impressed. I usually put garlic on my pie, but this is not necessary because these geniuses somehow get it into the pie. They don't stop there either, pieces of basil can be seen making an appearance here and there. So if you're not a fan of flavor and herbs, skip it and go to the next bland pizzeria around the corner because there are a bunch. 3) chicken cutlets, also amazing! My husband is the cook and the critique in the household (i.e. he makes his own delicious cutlets and watches every tip and tool Chef Ramsey has ever given. Not to brag, its just a fact.) These cutlets beat his, in my humble opinion. Homemade breading, pounded thin and not dried out- the holy trinity of chicken cutlets. 4) THE DRIVE THRU! Seriously the smartest pizzeria in my opinion for this alone. As a mother of 2 under 5, one of the scariest things in the world is walking out of a restaurant with two toddlers ready to run through a busy parking lot while you balance a pie, a sub and your daughter's Pasta e fagioli (also amazing here). The fact that I can pull up, keep the kids locked, loaded and sometimes sleeping in the back sea,t is a Godsend!This pizzeria, while a little out of way, is beyond worth the detour and I will be coming back as long as they're there.

DeCaro's proudly calls themselves "Straight Outta Brooklyn!," and the pizza lives up to the hype.Having such a traditional New York-style pizzeria so close to home is a home run.Their basic cheese slice is a de facto New Jersey/New York slice, with a crispy exterior and a gooey mozzarella. I've been finding that I am more of a square pizza/specialty slice guy, and those don't disappoint. My favorites are the Grandma, Brooklyn, Vodka, and Sicilian.The crowd also seems to love the rest of their speciality slices, such as the decidedly Italian sausage, peppers, and onions.That crowd extends to the drive-through, which has welcomed the likes of none other than Snooki from Jersey Shore. The drive-through offers a unique, nondescript convenience for celebrities and local patrons alike. Meanwhile the interior atmosphere also lives up to being a traditional pizzeria.Anthony and Paulie are pizza virtuosos, churning out a consistent variety of top-notch slices through a lifetime dedication to learning the craft of pizza-making.

Run by bunch of kids now. No respect like a teenage hangout. Asked about soups available was told "same soups we always have" not being a frequent customer how am I supposed to know that? Asked about Italian wedding soup was told "made to order" I'm not Italian but how is that soup made to order? Never get another dollar of my business again and ordered 2 plain slices to go..the worst I've ever had! Your father would be so disappointed.

Ordered on grub hub and picked it up. The pizza was very good and not greasy like many places. The antipasto salad had very good things in it big olives and meat and cheese. The service was very quick. The restaurant is very nice and clean inside.
