The pizza was okay. The bus boy “rob” was fantastic though and would go just to be served by him again

Kate Walker

I never write reviews, but I really wanted to write one for Molinos. My husband and I tried this place awhile ago, and have been hooked since! The food is always so good, and the drivers are always so quick and nice. Highly recommend this place!

Cindi Kaplin

Needed a last minute catering order. Called the Monroe location and owner Alfonso took the order personally. Our food was delivered on time and was absolutely delicious! Then met friends for dinner a short time later and was impressed with the variety of pies by the slice to choose from. Check it out. Yummy food!

Cathy Smitheimer

Awesome food and service. Fresh authentic Italian

Heliana Lisciandra

Great customer service. Best Sicilian pizza in central Jersey. I was having a difficult time ordering online. I called them and they kindly helped me.

Brian Nowak

Been coming here for years for great Italian food. It's a little pricey but the ingredients are top notch. I especially go for the pico de gallo slices or a Michael wrap.

Carm G

Delicious pizza and Italian food for moderate prices.

Louis Rainer

Good food at reasonable prices. The specialty sandwiches are delicious, my favorite is the Molino, fried chicken cutlet with many different Italian cold cuts. I did substitute the Aiolo with oil & vinagar

Molinos Italian Kitchen is family friendly with delicious food, large portions and reasonable prices. Quality maintained whether eat in or take out. A worthwhile experience.

Large selection of foods, all great tasting.

Actually this place was good. I can tell it's a local spot, repeat customers. Turkey and provolone wrap was good.

Recently had an event catered by Molino's. The food was excellent and was made to order. We ordered a tray last minute and the owner Al made sure it would be ready on time. We know their take out is always the best and now we know the catering is as well.

Joshuwa Armstrong

The pizza there is great. Whenever I am in the area, always look forward to stoping by Molino's to get something to eat. I highly recommend them.

Olivia Luisi

Casual Italian restaurant, the food is good just be careful if you have allergies. Although the website says they cater to allergies the alternative selection is poor.

Glenn Scher

Molino's is consistently fantastic. The pizza selection is always fresh with quite a variety. Being in business myself, I know the importance of customer service. They have Always been a top shelf Restaurant and Manalapan should be proud to have such a diamond in their neighborhood. Glenn/ Carpets To Go & Flooring

Gotta love fresh slices!

Bonnie Ivry

This food is delicious. We eat there weekly and they have great pizza, dinners and the best salads. Alfonso and his team care about their customers and want to make sure that you enjoy. I highly recommend them whether for your family, friends or a business event. You will be glad you visited Molino's Italian Kitchen!

Elliott Brown

We love Molino's. The food is great and the staff is polite and accommodating, especially when it comes to meeting dietary needs.

Alex Mazurovskiy

their prices are different from their menu you order something and then at the register they charge a totally different price to tell you it’s not their fault their prices are different rip off do not go there again Staff is very rude especially the cook that tried to explain that he’s not the boss The blame game gets passed on that’s not in the business but I would like to do go somewhere else if you can

C Gunther

Molino's Rest is always fabulous! I dine in, and take out at least once a week!

Sue D'Ambrosio

Owner is great and food is amazing!

I had my holiday party for a large group last night at Molino's. It was incredible!!! Big thank you to the owner who was amazing to us in all that he did! He was so kind, generous, and truly made a spectacular presentation with the food (he brought a lot of the food out to us himself), and made us a fantastic holiday party!! We ordered family style and everything was delicious. We started with hot Italian bread, and salad (there house balsamic was great). Then came out various pastas, Penne Vodka (incredible), marinara, and Rigatoni with Oil and Garlic..they were all soo good. For the meat, we had Chicken Parm, Francaise, and Marsala..all were so unbelievably good!! The waitress and staff were great. It was a very warm, cozy, and friendly atmosphere. They allowed us to place our gifts and desserts on various tables making us feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend coming here for authentic,delicious, and very reasonably priced meals. We will be back as a group again, and I will be back as well. Thank you again Molino's and to the owner, for making our holiday party so special and a huge success!!!!

Andre Segarra

My dad loves this place. Food is excellent and service was great also

Jay Levin

Went there with a party of four. It was very quiet unlike many other Italian restaurants where you can’t even hear the person across the table from you. The food was delicious and the service was great. I will go back to Molino’s very soon and you should too!

Dawn McNamara

Love the wraps

Antonio Rodrigues

Great food and family atmosphere. Very friendly staff.

Gary von der Fecht

Seafood Fra Diablo EXCELLENT!!!

Smelly CrotchBox

Probably the best pizza and food in the area

Ally Karp

Pizza was OK, although pricey. The kitchen food was terrible and honestly turned me off to ever returning to this place

Xplosive Entertainment

The food is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! Amazing home style feel and wonderful service!

Sean Lydon

Love this place. Food is consistently good every time.

Pratik Patel

The food is good, not outstanding. Two stars for following reason and after a below average experience more than couple times. The check came outrageously high and I reassured it with the cashier twice if it was correct. I even got a response that the system calculates it. Few minutes passed by and someone else was at the counter and I asked that gentleman and turns out the other cashier did not know that a no meat option was available for specific orders. They took care of the difference but the surprising part was that the person who made that mistake has been working there for few years that I know of. Low stars for not including paper napkins and plastic ware in the to go order again. Only reason I end up there again is because I live so very close to it. And food is good quality.

My wife and I decide to order food from this place. We were very surprised by the high prices they have for everything. We ordered Chicken Marcela with pasta. When we receive the food I cannot tell you how sad the food looked. We asked for spaghetti with the dish thinking that I could mix the spaghetti with the Marcela sauce, wrong! They put tomatoes sauce all over the pasta! Idk but to me that does not make sense. You have all this Marcela sauce which I would of loved to mix with the spaghetti but they placed tomato sauce all over the place. Why would you have two different dishes like that? The chicken was absolutely terrible. My husband and I could not even finish it. We were so mad my wife called the restaurant to complain about it. My wife explained about the pasta to the lady and she told my wife to wash the pasta so you can mix it with the chicken. REALLY!!! I ask to talk to the owner so she transfer the call and when the owner got to the phone my wife explain to him about the pasta and the tomato sauce and he told my wife that’s the way they always do it. It just doesn’t make sense if you want to mix the chicken with the pasta. You cannot do it because the both sauces are different and about the chicken he told my wife that is impossible the chicken is not good. “The chicken is the best”. I hate to be the barren of bad new but in that dish the chicken was horrifying, dry, and plan. This dish was drowned in watery Marcela sauce. I am telling you to please save your money and find another place. I regret spending over 40 bucks on this place when I could have stuck with Mezza Luna Resturant in Manalapan which is so much better and very nice people. So if you really want to pay a lot of money and get poor quality food and get an attitude from a restaurant Molino’s is where you should go. We learned our lesson and will never eat there again. Menu is in the garbage!

marcus curtis

Horrible experience!!! I ordered a salad with grilled chicken shredded mozzarella and ranch. Sounds simple right? Wrong!! I get pick up the order and come home to find out my chicken is cold and hard with melted-cold shredded cheese and no ranch! And I paid extra for extra ranch. Not only was the food horrible but when I went to pick up the order no one wanted to help and and when I went to get get ranch they tried charging me again!! Avoid this place !!!!

Alyssa Mazzeo

Had Valentine’s Day dinner there last night and the food was AMAZING (as always). Alfonse hand picks new specials every week from pasta to fish and each one is always fresh and delicious. No matter how busy the owner alfonse makes sure to make his way to the customers sitting and eating to ask how everything is. 100% recommend whether you are looking to grab pizza and a sandwich or enjoy a nice yummy meal! ♥️

Debbie Handwerk

Whole sub sandwhich very small. Put in styrofoam containers for dinners. Not wrapped. Needed for the next day went bad very cumbersome food got old and exposed, didn't last. Dissatisfied it was use to be good old style deli. They looked like leftovers .

Glen Albanese

Went to the Moroe location this past week. Food was amazing.

baxter louis

Rip off!!! $12.99 LB of Fresh Mozz. Go to Uncle Ginos Marketplace across the street where they sell the best fresh mozz for$7.99 LB This Tuskeny is so over priced I walk out. Everything is $12.99 Lb. Sad that most people are not smart enough to just walk out!!

Mitchell Beja

I have been eating at Molino's for the past three years. Recently, I had my birthday dinner there with my family. As always, the food was off the charts, and service was A+. My kids are picky when it comes to food, but any time I say we are going to Molino's, they are more than happy to go. The pizza's are great, and my favorite dish is the Spaghetti Alla Puttanesca, you must try it. They seem to have many repeat customers. Whether it's lunch or dinner, you will not be disappointed. Best Italian restaurant in the area. So grab a bottle of wine, and see for yourself.

Giovanni Napliano

Alfonso(the owner, I presume) has ZERO respect for customers that have even the slightest issue from what I have observed. This is a shame because the food is pretty good but I cant give money to a jack***.

Ron

Had a quick bite here and discovered a pretty good pizza place. Cozy interior and tons of choice of different slices on offer. I tried the Chicken BBQ and the Steak and cheese slices. The Chicken one was excellent. The steak one was not to my taste, too much cheese on top, what looks like chedder cheese all over it. Overall, very good.

Weiss Gary

Not that good anymore. I got a Pizza and it was disappointing. Crust was tough and chewy.

Gerard Gorman

There great

Ross Alaimo

First time visiting second location and it did Not disappoint. Appetizers were fresh and delicious. Entrees were also cooked to perfection. The new location is larger and still has the going home for dinner feel. Looking forward to our next visit.

Taras Olesnyckyj

Service was Great, Food was Greater! It is worth the trip!

tom wolstencroft

Great pizza place. Wife and I do lunch here all the time. Best specialty slices around.

Burke Mawby

Al has the best chicken Marsala in Monmouth County. And, the pasta is always cooked perfectly. It is a reasonably priced local Italian restaurant. The pizza is also popular. The coffee is very good ask for some vanilla ice cream. It is a hidden treasure at Yorktown Shopping Center. If you like amazing cheese cake, it came from Brooklyn the last time I asked. Try some.

Greg Brownstein

4 bucks for a slice of pizza? It had chicken on it but that's absurd. It didn't have much taste either and crust was way overdone. Worlds wildest police chases blaring in the background for the locals hanging out. I have no desire to ever come back.

Matthew Dykes

Friendly warm atmosphere. Clean with good food. Variety of pizza offered.

Dylan Segalewitz

Great pizza

Yu-Liang Chen

Tony Trenta

Gary Tipton

Make sure they don't forget your salad!

Giovanni Lio

I've only had the pizza so far and the owner seems like a really nice guy. The pizza was great, the place was neat and clean. The service was quick too. I had the Sicilian and Eggplant plus an ice tea for 8.44. Will definitely be back for a meal and write another review

Sal Del'Re

I am all over NJ everyday because of my job. Molinos is one of my most favorite places to grab lunch. Molinos consistently delivers with either great Pizza or a sandwich to go. I would recommend the white Pizza or chicken parm sub on garlic bread.

Mike Pszczola

Good food but expensive. Didn't know lunch would cost me $23

Derin Lisi

We just ordered from Molinos for the last time. We normally place our order online but my husband decided to call this time. We placed our order at 5:38pm. Received our food at 6:15pm and half of the order was missing. When i called to tell them I was placed on hold for 4 minutes until I was finally able to talk to the man that originally took our order. At first he blamed the driver. Then he blamed the kitchen staff. Then he said he would give me credit. No thanks buddy I don't want a $3 credit I want my food. He kept back tracking his story. Then he finally said oh well that was our last order of French fries for the day. We have no more. REALLY??? you ran out of fries at 6:30? What are you going to do for the rest of the 3 1/2 hours of people placing orders? This was our go to place for 5 years, and this was the final time. He actually had the nerve to tell me that my order was too small to feed 5 people and it could never feed that many people. Like who the heck do you think you are buddy. Maybe that's all we could afford. Maybe that's all we wanted. Maybe we made other food but wanted something additional to go along with it. He was very rude. I paid $35 for pasta and a sandwich. SUCH A RIP OFF!!!

Joe Wacked

Menu said $7.99 for subs but was charged $11 freakin $$ TOTAL RIPOFF DO NOT GO THERE MENU SAID $18 for spec pizza charged $22 Food is just ok better goto to others in the area ANGELOTTIs way better

Vijay Budhan

Great pizza.... I like the different lunchtime toppings.

Neil Slattery

Great food, either sit down or on the go. Enjoyed ever bite!

Jackie Lubrano

This place is TERRIBLE!!! If you want to pay very high prices for very low quality food then go here. The pizza and dishes are extremely over priced and just plain old not worth the money.

Seth Rappoport

Food was awesome and very friendly wait staff

Gene Koren

Great service!

Nick Torres

Excellent local spot, chicken masala pizza is delicious

mike tillman

11 bucks for a half of meatball and small soda only to wait for a half an hour when i finally got it it was one of the worst meatball sandwich ever. This place sucks and the Mexicans working in there are not even nice.

Jewelry Design Gallery

The food was delicious! The atmosphere was warm and friendly. They did a great job accommodating my no carb diet!! Thank You!

Joe Cilea

Alonso has built a great reputation for great quality food. His pizza is excellent. He uses only the best ingredients and takes great pride in the quality of his food. I am never disappointed when I visit Molino's. My family loves it too!

Thomas Fisher

My third pizza meal here in the last two weeks. Consistently exceptional. Great variety. Perfect crusts. Always loaded. Good prices. This is my new go-to pizza place.

Michael Bain

Paid a visit to the new Monroe location as we usually visit the Manalapan location. Food was great, staff was friendly and the place is immaculate. Quality meal at a reasonable price at either location. I would highly recommend grabbing a meal there if you havent already!

Brian Conti

Previous owner had better food but still good now
