Wayne Ale House & Pizza Reviews

★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Saturday’s are crazy. 1/2 off pizzas after 9pm-11pm which is super awesome!Food was amazing. They had the best buffalo chicken salad I have ever had in my life and I am obsessed with buffalo chicken! Pizza was great too.
June 27 · Olivia LandersEmilie, our waitress brought us a 26 inch pie which was as close to perfect as can be expected. The crust, char and flop were perfect. Sauce was tangy and delicious. We would prefer a tad more cheese-- next time extra cheese. Definitely in the top three pies ever: certainly the best in NJ.
September 02 · Martin KaminHeard a lot of good things, so it was time to make a stop to get this place on the Pizza Hunters App. The crust is the star of the show. Ordered over the phone for pickup and let the server select the pizza that they recommend. I prefer a pizza with more cheese and sauce, but as a Bar Pie, I have to treat it as such. The sauce was solid. One of the better Bar Pies. Also ordered wings, which were good. The rest of the menu looks awesome. I love how they offer some healthier options. I will be going back to try some other pizza options. This gets them on the board.
March 14 · Chuck MoundThe size of the slices was a surprise. They are HUGE. More importantly when you pick up these HUGE slices they remain crisp and straight. Great crust!!! Delicious pizza!Servers were wonderful, the bar area is also a great space to watch sports with all of the large screen TV’s.
June 08 · Denise ChernoffPizza was solid. Place has a nice bar vibe to it. I guess wayne needs another pub 🤷🏻♂️ service was adequate, over staffed and too many people standing around. Drinks stayed empty for a while but the bartender gave us a free round after acknowledging. Over all good!
June 18 · Anonymous OneWe ordered two pizzas, one with mozzarella sticks, over the phone and picked them up. The pepperoni pizza we ordered was large (24"), thin and crispy, and delicious 👌. The second pizza was a little thicker, but had a good flavor. Next time, I'd order it with extra cheese. Finally, the mozzarella sticks were excellent, crispy, and the accompanying sauce matched perfectly.
October 12 · Maira ParadaStopped by on the recommendation of a friend. Great spot. Pizza was delicious. Thin & well done. A great Jersey pie. Service was on point and attentive. Looking forward to going back.
