Max's Pizza - Surf City

Ordered carry out, decent pizza, first time there. Bit of an extended wait but that’s a symptom of popularity and quality. Would like to enjoy dine-in service, will return

We ended up at Max 's Pizza on a whim. Originally we were planning on celebrating our daughter 's engagement at a sit down restaurant, had made prior arrangements to be there however upon arrival and going to the bar and ordering a round for the party the restaurant bar staff was not pleasant, nor welcoming and simply rude and indifferent. Deciding not to spend any further money at a place that was clearly not customer friendly we all decided to keep it simple and to go Max 's for pizza. The staff at Max 's was simply wonderful! They seated our party and engaged us as welcome guests. Our server Alex was fantastic! He was super attentive, accurate and friendly. The food was awesome, and after multiple rounds of apps, and drinks and then our meals it was a fantastic experience. I cannot say enough about how the staff, the manager and of course the wait staff were attentive to our group. Food was awesome, reasonably priced and a great value. Most notably was the customer service. This place understands the assignment! The sit down high end restaurant staff and management could learn a thing or two from these folks! Well done and thank you from salvaging a very negative experience at the other place and turning our celebration into a very pleasant experience! You have my highest recommendation to take your family here for not only great food, but a customer centered, friendly and welcoming environment. I will definitely be back and will definitely tell all our friends and neighbors to make sure Max 's is a must stop! As a property owner in NTB, and part time resident I Look forward to seeing you all very soon.

We had a party of 15 and our waiter Alex was fantastic! Great pizza and great service! Alex was very attentive to us and made sure we were well taken care of.

We absolutely love Max's Pizza. Best pizza on the island. The house special is amazing. We eat there every time we go to Topsail.

The pizza crust was terrible. There is no way that crust is homemade. It tastes just like a frozen crust. The pizza's came out with the crust soft and chewy, rather than crispy as a pizza crust should be. Hardly any sauce on the pizza's. My daughter had to ask for a side of marinara, which of course they charged for. $10.50 for a small, plate of Alfredo for a child's meal. Everything was overpriced. We definitely were not impressed and will not be back. If I want a frozen crust I'll go to the grocery store.
