The Galley Pizza & Eatery

For a spot with such variety on the style of pizza and food, and such a vast menu, i was pleasantly surprised at the quality and deliciousness of everything. I had a great experience, the Detroit pizza was a standout and the smash burger is a must get. Incredible and definitely worth the drive from nyc for me. We need a spot like this in the city.

One of our go to places! Love it. It’s a small place, so eating in takes planning (and patience in the summer), but it’s perfect for delivery or pickup. They have the best pizza and sandwiches. Rainy stormy night? Perfect pizza to go along with any football game 🍕

Some of the best pizza I’ve had in ages. Best bar pie I’ve had in awhile - perfect crust and everything was absolutely packed with flavor. The wings were just as impressive: made with Bell & Evans chicken (the gold standard) and coated in a house-made sauce that was on a whole other level. You can tell they take real pride in their food here. Everything tastes fresh, carefully prepared, and a notch above your typical pizza & grill spot. If you’re anywhere nearby, this is a must-try.

I had never been to Galley. My partner and I decided to go on a whim this past Friday (not taking into account it would probably be packed). We got there at about 7:45 pm. The take out line was insane. The girl who greeted us was super nice and cleared off a table right away for us. Despite it being a madhouse, she was really attentive and on top of everything. We noticed all the staff were really on their game for it being so busy. Ordered the Bee Banger pie and cheese steak. The pie was a bit oily but that's because of all the pepperoni. Great flavor and crust. The cheese steak was friggin amazing. Fries were excellent too. All of the food coming out looked delicious. A guy at the table next to us said the burgers are really great. Looking forward to going back and trying other items! We both really enjoyed our experience and the food. I'm really happy I finally tried this place.

When I think of the shore, I absolutely think of the galley! From Cooper Sharp cheesesteaks to amazing Detroit sell pizzas. There is something for everyone at this amazing spot! In an extremely cozy atmosphere, you can see Pizza’s being made every minute. I have to say I am partial to burgers, Nashville, hot chicken sandwiches, and cheese sticks, and if you order any of these three things from this place, you will be pleasantly surprised!

Got a NY pizza for takeout the other day, solid, but came back in person for the bar pie, even better, cheesesteak was great too

The food was so good and all came out hot! Detroit pizza was 10/10 perfect crunch. Wings were perfect, got the hot honey on the side, and the cheesesteak was one of the best I’ve had. Definitely would recommend when you’re in the area!

Asbury Park's best place for amazing food and great & friendliest service. My wife's Detroit BurRoni was absolutely amazing My Meatball Calzone was made to perfection 👌 infact this is our third time eating here and no matter how much I look over the menu at so many awesome choices I just can't seem to order anything else but my favorite Calzone with Meatball. My absolute go to favorite 😋 and the dipping sauce that comes with it is something I would make exactly the same. The Galley is a must for anyone looking for a great meal...seriously. We'll be back next week. The Ferraro family

The best cheesesteak I've ever had. The pizza is great as well. But, I've driven an hour just for the cheesesteak and it was worth it everytime.

Came here on a weekend and they were fairly busy. We called ahead to get reservations as there isn't much seating. We ordered the Detroit Plain and the Philly Cooper. The Detroit Plain did not disappoint. The crust was crispy on the edges and super light and fluffy in the middle. There was a good balance of sauce and cheese and the basil added a nice freshness. The Philly Cooper was the best cheesesteak I've had in NJ. It was loaded with steak, onions and cooper sharp. It was a a very rich and slightly salty sandwich with all that cheese but that's kind of what you expect from a good cheesesteak. The fries are also nice a crispy. I knocked it down 1 star because the service was pretty slow and the kids chicken tenders we ordered for my son were a little dry. Also, they let us know ahead of time that the food was going to come out at different times but it still made the dining in experience a little weird. Overall I would absolutely come back because the Detroit pizza and cheesesteak are among the best, if not the best in NJ.

So we heard a lot of noise about how amazing the pizza was. We decided to go plain round so we could really compare to the many others we have had. So the pizza was 25$ we were told pick up in 25 minutes so we did the pizza was cold and blah nothing special. We settled on 2 stars. Not. Cheesy and had to be reheated. We are very disappointed but decided to try another day and not pizza. The guys at the front desk was eh not friendly just basic. No smile just blah.

Second time getting food from The Galley and they did not disappoint. This time we did takeout, and the estimated ready time was spot on -- super convenient. We ordered the General Pan which was delicious. At first glance, the $40+ price tag felt steep, but it was totally worth it -- as it easily feeds four and was delicious. Great quality and consistent experiences so far.

Food tastes good but it's kind of pricey for what you get. Chicken Parm/pasta is $29. You get one piece of chicken with pasta. Theres no bread or salad. Just 1 piece of chicken with some pasta. Taste is there. After reading about "large portions" in other reviews I kind of expected 2 pieces of chicken. So for the meal, an iced tea and tip it was just over 40 bucks. Seems like a lot for 1 person for 1 piece of chicken, but I'm sure the tourists that come don't really care. So 4 stars for the taste. Would be five with 2 pieces of chicken and at least bread of some kind, it is a pizza place, throw some dough in the oven to go with the "big baits" dinners so it feels like a big dinner.

What an amazing experience! Found the place from Tiktok, tipsy critic went and did a review. Worth the 1 hour ride. Tiny place, cool vibe. They offer outdoor seating. Service was great. We will definitely be back! The philly cooper is off the charts amazing!

I don't eat beef, but I'll happily drive an hour to get my boyfriend his favorite Philly cheesesteak just to see him smile. Hands down, the best in New Jersey.

Had the sausage, pepper and onion Stromboli today and was blown out of the water. The best Stromboli I have ever had. The vodka sauce on the side was excellent too.

Finally made it here after wanting to try for a while, and it did not disappoint! You can sit inside or outside, which is nice depending on the vibe you're going for. I was torn between a sandwich or a pizza but went with the chicken parm sandwich (vodka style). Very large sandwich--basically two big halves that could easily feed two people. No fries with it, just straight-up sandwich. The cheesesteak sandwich, on the other hand, comes as one big sub and does come with fries, so portions vary depending on what you order. The salad was fresh--came out as a whole piece so I had to chop it up myself, but honestly, it was good. Lots of dressing. Overall, food is good, portions are generous, and next visit is for the pizza.

Detroit Rock City.....in Asbury! I have had the Galley on my radar for a while now and happy to say the wait was worth it. Early dinner in Asbury, able to sit right down. Plenty of free parking. Service is outstanding. Local wine for sale as well as sodas and iced tea. I believe they allow byob as I saw folks drinking beer? My wife and I split the Detroit Roni which is the perfect size for my wife and I. The pizza is cooked perfectly with some char on the outside while the middle is soft like a pillow. The ingredients are top notch, high quality cheese and pepperoni. I was admiring all the tables around me to see what everyone eats...I saw a beautiful fish sandwich....cheesesteak.....a gorgeous bowl of pasta...thin crust pizza.... I cannot wait to go back....I am going to go with a group so we can try a lot of different items. Very busy pick up business. Impressive 5 stars out of the gate.

Great menu! This is a very casual spot. The fried Mozz and wings were out highlight the cheesesteak was also very good. Service was excellent.

The cheesesteak made with Pat LaFrieda shave rib eye was to dye for. Amazing and worth every cent. Service was great and the ambiance was causal.

Waited for pizza for over an hour. Then they came out to say they burnt it... 30 more minutes we get the pizza and our side of fries... they didn't re fire the fries and they are ice cold and taste like cardboard. I'm so upset because this used to be my favorite place to get pizza

So I did have correspondence for the wings and I just have to say. I had them fresh and it still was not crispy as expected. I want to love them as much as my first experience but unfortunately after 3 times I'm unconvinced. The pizza remains fantastic and definitely recommend. I just want the wings to match that energy. Without a doubt any pie you will order here is phenomenal. Maybe wings are just not where this location shines.

Galley is a staple. Food is amazing. Quick service and large portions combined with really good food. Menu is large and can't wait to try more items

I was so excited to come here after a long beach day based off seeing other reviews, but sadly was disappointed. We ordered to go and that took a rather long time but I figured greatness takes time but nope. We ordered from the secret menu garlic wings and chopped cheese. The garlic wings had so much grease/oil at the bottom of the container, it was just gross. And the taste of the wings in general were just not it at all. The chopped cheese while big in size, just didn't taste good, it didn't even have ketchup, I'm from New York so I know what a chopped cheese should taste like and this was not it. The fries were soggy as well. Also even though we chose not to dine in, we sat outside to wait for our food. Staff came in and out bringing people their food and not once were we given an update like "your order is almost ready or just a few more minutes" we seemed to be completely invisible. Honestly after this experience, I wouldn't consider coming back here at all. Feel like it was a waste of money and waste of time.

One of the best pies in New Jersey. I like the vibe. Definitely love the shark over the pizza oven. Delicious pizza. The also make a garlic bread like a Sicilian pizza, it's good!

It has been a while since my last review but this place is well.worth it. We ordered chicken tenders for the kids a Titanic burger (picture) and a bacon and blue with no bun. Everything was delicious and super fresh (worth a little bit of a wait). Also, very cheap compared to the restaurants closer to the water.

We went here 3 weeks ago. We aren't from the area but we were in town and I heard about this place from a popular food influencer who resides in Asbury Park. It is a very casual restaurant. Our waitress was very welcoming and friendly and helped us with the menu. We ordered the boneless buffalo wings as an appetizer and for our entrees, we got the double smash burger with fries and the Caesar salad. Honestly, this was some of the best food I have ever had. It was so tasty. If I'm in the area again I will definitely be coming back here!

I found this place on Instagram and immediately knew I had to have it. I got the chicken vodka parm Sammy which is served on garlic bread. It was as great as I expected it to be. The only thing I would say is be careful what you have the next day because you will be extremely gassy. My boyfriend got the chicken bacon ranch and that one was okay. The chicken was a little dry even with the ranch but still not a terrible sandwich. The reason I am giving this place 3 stars is due to the menu. The prices on the menu are not reflective of the actual price. 4 people ordering sandwiches came out to almost $100 when everything we ordered had said it was under $20 each. They did have a note on the bottom that said prices are subject to change without notice but each sandwich was ~ $5 more. That's a lot of money to add on without advertising it. It felt very misleading. When we asked why the price was different they said "we've had these same menus since 2019 and there's a note at the bottom".... How hard is it to reprint a new menu and not lie to customers. Or even put a sticker with the correct price....

They delivered to the beach which just that is awsome the bar pie very good wings garlic and buffalo amazing they forgot our cheese bread no credit he came back with bread right there customer service ammmmmazing thank you made my day

I want to come back here as soon as humanly possible! The food here is freaking BOMB.COM. everything we ordered here was delicious. For apps, we ordered the Korean kalbi and wings. The Kalbi was probably the most flavorful app. Don't let's the pics fool you. It isn't spicy, lol. It's packed with flavor. The wings were also delicious. My only critique is that they could've just had a tad more salt, but it wasn't a biggie. They still were very tender and flavorful. The pizza was craccccccck!! I ordered the fresh white, and let me tell you, the name is self-explanatory. The pepperoni was yummy. It tasted like fresh Italian pepperoni. The service was great. We sat outside, and they even put a speaker outside with some chill tunes. That was a nice touch, lol. All of our food came out pretty quick. I was actually pretty impressed considering we ordered a lot of food. For all the food we ordered, we paid around $91 before tip. (Were fat, lol) Come check this place out.

Solid bar pie we had and the boardwalk fries with malt vinegar Was fast and pretty tasty

Honestly so disappointed in this place,I've been going to this place forever! And the recent time I went with a couple of friends and our drinks and food just weren't up to par like how they usually are. And service was okay ,,, they didn't really accommodate to us though

The Detroit style pies are standouts as is the cinnamon stick desert. It's small but you can call ahead to reserve a table.

Staff seem to not be able to be time efficient. For how many staffs working it seems like nothing is getting done. And when we would voice our concern for our cold food, they would tell us there's not much we could do about it. The restroom was not clean at all so you can only guess what the kitchen would look like. I did see a small roach on the floor by the door. I just think for a place like this, it should be more clean and well kept ESPECIALLY if it's a restaurant. Do waste your time coming here honestly.

Hands down one of the best pizzas I have ever had. I ordered a round plain and a Detroit BurRoni. The crispiness for both pies are superb. I love thin crust pizza with no flop and their slices hit that mark. Cheese is evenly distributed and sauce is delicious. The BurRoni deserves a chef's kiss. The ingredients were fresh, the burrata melts in your mouth and the hot honey sauce adds another element to the experience eating this pie. I didn't try the burgers but got to see a few come out the kitchen and their presentations were impressive. Restaurant is small and encourage calling in before heading out to dine in. Plaza has one hour parking. Customers come in and out so if you sit by the door and it's winter, you will be cold. Pies are fresh so the wait time will happen. Dont worry it's worth the wait. I'm not a big Pepsi product fan and that was majority of the options for non-alcoholic drinks. Definitely returning and trying other things in the menu.

AVOID, OVERHYPED, OVERPRICED, and OVERRUN with ATTITUDE If you're thinking of eating at The Galley in Asbury, let me save you the time, money, and stomach ache. This place has the nerve to charge fine-dining prices for greasy spoon quality food and then top it off with the most condescending, arrogant staff I've ever encountered. I'm not sure if in their delusional minds they think they're filming for a Bravo reality show or auditioning to be the next Hell's Kitchen villains, but the attitude is real and it's foul. I wouldn't be surprised if they actually do spit in the food with the way they treat customers. Watching them interact with people is like a masterclass in self-importance and passive-aggressive disrespect. As for the food? Meh. Overcooked, overpriced, and underwhelming. You're paying steakhouse prices for burgers that taste like they were dropped, dusted off, and served with smugness AND THE LAST SPOT IN NJ FOR PIZZA Save yourself. Go literally anywhere else in Asbury. The city is full of good spots that don't come with a side of contempt and a sprinkle of ego.

Update: the owner clearly doesn't read much, or at all. The point of my review is to show how unhelpful the staff is. If it wasn't clear from my "novel" we asked our prepaid order be served outside BEFORE we were told it was ready. Your staff refused bc they wanted a tip or service fee clearly...which we would have been happy to provide. I hope others who appreciate context take this to heart before spending money here. It's quite interesting that tonight alone there were several other unfavorable reviews posted on Google and other sites regarding this establishment and the service they received. I also find it curious that the owner commented rude and unfavorable responses to those sharing their experience, including someone of a different background than the owner to which he responded "GFY"...truly sad behavior. I hope you find the help you need, you're clearly struggling. My husband and I visited the galley today and never have we ever felt so unwelcome by a restaurant staff in our life. We originally ordered takeout for a pizza and pasta ($50 total), as the weather was touch and go. While driving the 20 minutes to pick it up it looked like the weather was clearing up. When we arrived our food wasn't ready yet so we asked if we could sit outside under the covered dining patio as we had out dog with us....its important to note that every single table outside was completely empty at 6:45 at night. My husband was told by one employee (who later identified themself as Marley) that outside was a full dining service only...we were unclear what they meant since we already prepaid and were just looking to eat while the food was hot. We waited a few more minutes as our food was still not ready and my husband again went in to let the staff know we would be sitting at the table to wait for our food. Once we sat another staff member came out to let us know our food was ready but did not bring it to us. A few minutes later Marley came out, without our food, and rudely told us we could not sit at the patio table to eat our food. When I asked why, she said "we don't know how busy dinner service will get" when I pushed back and said "clearly you guys are busy" bc the 6 or so tables outside were completely empty during a drizzly Thursday night 2 hours before they close....she said "well if you're going to get passive aggressive I don't have to deal with you". I said we are not passive aggressive but addressing you back in your tone, if someone comes in the 10 minutes it takes us to eat our piece of pizza we will leave. I can not for the life of me understand why we were not allowed to sit and eat the food we paid for at the pizzeria where we purchased said food. The only thing I can think of is the staff was looking for a service tip, in which case they should have just said so. However we were also told that they could not repackage our food as it was already boxed up....despite waiting several minutes to receive our food after being told that twice. When I said to Marley that I would just like to cancel our order based on that experience she said "well it's already made", so I asked her to bring it before the pasta got soggy. She swore the pasta would not be soggy...spoiler alert it was soggy and flavorless. The pizza was ok but nothing worth this experience. I do not recommend anyone visit here based on this experience with their service team. Last thing to note- the main reason we tried this place is bc I believe one of the owners posted on their Instagram about all of the dining options including takeout and their first come first serve patio options. Which is incredibly helpful when we have our dog with us. It's a shame that they don't allow guests to eat takeout orders on the patio on a slow, rainy weeknight when there is literally no one else looking to dine outside.

This place sucks!! Food was cold and it took forvever to come out, plus the service was so bad. Never going back!

Stopped here while visiting NJ and it was outstanding! Tried the "Station 58" pizza and it was delicious! The caesar salad was possibly the best I've ever had. Has a pretty small dine-in area but a fun atmosphere! Service was great and I will definitely stop by again whenever I get the chance.

come for the pizza, stay for the mozzeralla rounds. i can not stress enough how impressed i was with these. we grabbed one of the detroit style pies. 6 slices each. it was pretty close to perfect. this pie needs some extra time, id say about 20 mins so keep that in mind. the inside will most likely be packed, so be prepared to wait or sit outside. the burrata pie was so damn good!

Imagine a pizza place that is crowded because they sell a style you cannot get anywhere else in central Jersey. The Galley has phenomenonal pizza, wings and salads.

I ordered a a Philly cheesesteak, but I asked for Swiss I got a message on the takeout box which I didn't think was very appropriate. On the lid of the takeout box it said Swiss cheese does not belong on a Philly cheesesteak.. I wish I could give you a picture very inappropriate when I called. The manager said oh yeah that was from the chef . It was just a joke. i'm sorry I didn't find it. Funny at all.

My favorite pizza spot in Asbury. Always great pizza when I go. They have sangria too.

Food was top notch, most of our party was gluten free and they had plenty of choices, but most of all they really enjoyed their meal. My wife and I usually get the Meatman and we drive about 40 minutes to get it, but this time we tried the Station 83 and loved it too!

This place is the best! The food is always outstanding-especially the burgers and the Station 83 Pizza and the lobster pizza and... The staff is always friendly, even when they're crazy busy

So this was probably the best chicken sandwich and fries I've had in a while. The food was so good that we wanted to eat other things they had there so we also got pizza and let me tell you ....mind blowing pizza. There's not a ton of seating but we made it work . Everyone was so nice and we received our food so fast. Definitely a 10 out 10 ..trust me come try this place.

Service charges not disclosed as required. Charged more than posted menu prices. Both violations of NJ Consumer Protection Act. Same issue has been raised in other reviews more than 1 year ago so this is a strategy to deceive people not a mistake.

Everything is the freshest hottest best food in Asbury NJ!!! A must try !! If you love Caesar salad !!! It's like no other!!!

The food is good I usually get pizza and it's always delicious. This past order I got penne vodka which wasn't the best but the pizza was great. It's always ready fast and fresh. Staff is nice. It's definitely overpriced for pizza so sometimes I go somewhere else because I don't want to spend as much.

Had take out last week and pizza was very good. It did travel well considering sometimes pizza does not. It is definitely at little higher priced. Would recommend.

After seeing their Instagram, I have been dying to come try the Gallery! I called earlier in the day and asked if we could make a reservation as I was driving down from north Jersey, for a 5 adults and 2 high chairs and they said they were happy to accommodate. About half hour before our reservation they called to let me know the table before us was running behind if we could give them a little extra time and I was so impressed that they were thoughtful enough to do this instead of just having us wait there! When we got there the table was ready, but missing high chairs. When I asked about them they told me they only had one and another table was using it. This was confusing because if they only had one high chair why wasn't that mentioned on the phone when I had called and said I needed two? So we spend the meal with our infants in our laps, inconvent but I could get past it BUT when I went to order what I had been looking forward to, the whole reason we had come- the crab cake pizza, I was told they weren't making it that day!! I was beyond bummed. This pie is posted and reposted over and over again on their page so I figured it had to be a staple! We had the loaded crab fries and the fresh pie which were delicious but I guess now I know to call ahead for that type of pizza and not to count on eating there with a baby ‍

This place is really good but there is a little to much salt on the deep dish but it was so good

@BigDudesBigFoods was in #AsburyParkNJ today. So we decided to look to instagram to find a place to eat. The Galley Pizza & Eatery @thegalleyap was the perfect stop for us. We started out with the Mike's hot honey smoked wings. Followed by two amazing and huge burgers on a bed of boardwalk fries: The first burger was topped with bacon Mac & Cheese and a crispy mixed fried cheese layer, the 2nd burger was a quadzilla smash burger with gooey melted port wine cheese sauce. I should have taken a pic of the empty plates. They were that good !!! #BigDudesBigFoods #foodie #delicious #foodies #globaleats #shenanigans #BDBFCertified

Great food, best bar pie. good vibes, pleasant staff. Never had a bad experience eating here.

Had a pizza Saturday after fishing. Always great. I had the vodka chicken parm before. Best sandwich ever. Can't wait for my next fishing trip so I can stop in again.

You know that episode in Friends from Season 4 where Monica yells out "seven...seven...SEVEN!"? Well, that's what it's like when you bite into the pizza from The Galley. If you don't understand this reference, you're probably wearing flared jeans and wide leg pants for the first time in your life while carrying around your overpriced Stanley cup...and we probably can't be friends. ...BUT if you get this reference...you get this reference.. Go ahead with your bad self and get some Detroit-style pizza and enjoy all the doughy goodness. Then "sink" your teeth into the Titanic burger...while imagining yourself dragging your fingers on some steamy windows as you do it...with Leo... You won't be disappointed. *"However, it should be noted that you will likely need to sell some feet pics to afford all the deliciousness. The prices are a little out there.

Went tonight for the first time for a takeout pizza. It was as good as advertised. Friendly staff, great service. I asked for a pie 3/4 cooked so I could heat up later. When I came back to pick it up, waitress said: sorry, they cooked it too much so another one is in the oven. That simple decision and the tasty pizza made us dedicated customers for many years to come.
