Pizza is great. Service and delivery crew is really nice and inviting. I had problems several times with the Chicken Parm so I do not think I would order it again. The chicken was super dry and hard and not very fresh at all. It seemed like it was frozen chicken and was too thin to be reheated. The pizza again was and always is super good.

We had our first pizza at Linda’s about 4 years ago, when we were buying our house in Forked River, and we agreed that it was the best cheese pizza we ever tasted. Although my neighbors have suggested other pizzerias in our area, we just love the balance of seasonings and the amount of mozzarella they put on their pies EVERY TIME ! Yes, Linda’s pizza is consistently the best !

ordered from them last night, was delivered the wrong food and this isnt the first time this has happened. called to complain, said they’d send out new fresh food. the delivery person came back two minutes later with the old food she gave to the wrong people. she asked for the food back that we accidentally had recieved. I told her we had opened it to look and she said she would give it back to them anyway…disgusting. they obviously dont care about customers and the freshness of their food. will NOT be ordering from them ever again which is a shame because we spent a lot of money there.

First review Ive ever left on google. Best prices and food in the area. We used to order from vesuvio in lacey until they started charging over $50 for a large pie, salad and wings. Since switching up to Lindas we have never gone back.

If I could give no stars I would. The worst chicken fingers and French fries I have ever received. I don’t think the chicken fingers were even fresh they tasted like something frozen, and the marinara sauce I asked for a side to dip in tasted like tomato sauce poured from a can. My 3 year old wouldn’t eat it either at least my dog enjoyed the 14$ lunch

literally everything but the pizza is great. I ordered online tonight, I’m assuming through that new thing called slice, and I had called Linda’s to make sure the order went through, well done plain pie and an order of mozz sticks. When I called the actual pizzeria to make sure my online order went through, I made sure they knew I wanted my pie well done, because in my opinion they serve soggy crust. I hear the pizza man in the background go “what the slice order, wow people these days”. My fiancé goes and picks up said order, and low and behold, another soggy pizza, not well done at all. Sometimes it just seems like the pizza guy makes the pizza to his own liking and not the others who are ordering the pizza. the pizza is always sloppily made and SOGGY!! Like the crust is wet. Any ways, everything else is great there. The cheese fries are great, I highly recommend those!
