Enjoying Max's Pizza (Pepperoni Pizza) since the 1980s, and now I get to share this iconic Surf City restaurant with my family. 😊 🍕 Back in the day, Max's was one of just a couple of restaurants on the island. As a boy, it was such a treat to enjoy a slice of Max's Pepperoni Pizza after fishing for the day with my family on the Surf City pier. Your server would bring the pizza to the table and the cheese was so molten-hot that it would nearly scald your mouth, but it is so good you couldn't wait for it to cool down or stop eating it. So, so good! Love Max's. Drove down from Topsail to take my family there. Brings back a lot of nostalgia and NC pride to eat there. (Let me know when you start selling Max's T-shirts because I would gladly buy one).

We had never tried Max's Pizza until today. We arrived about 1145am, we were greeted immediately, seated at a booth as we requested, and we met Jessica our amazing waitress. Kind, courteous, and quick ! We ordered our drinks, and garlic cheese bread as a starter. It was 10/10 hot, fresh and delicious ! Our pies were cheese, and a pepperoni, we asked for light sauce, and a crispier crust. It was done perfectly 👌. Our pies were delicious, excellent sauce ! Jessica made sure we had everything we needed, during our visit, she was awesome. The bill was about $50, which I consider a bargain for good food and a family of four. I read the reviews for the restaurant before we came, and while everyone is entitled to their opinion, some of them are just malicious. A pizza place, at the beach,

We went and ate at Max's pizza twice while we were on topsail for vacation, first night there. We ordered takeout, it was hands down, the best pizza we've ever had from down there, their cheese and pepperoni pizzas, are to die for!! Lol then the day before we left, me and my wife went there to dine-in, just us two, food was decent then too, we ordered cheese sticks and a Max's style pizza, (the works) I enjoyed it and so did my wife, but afterward we were both severely sick for a couple days, not 100% if it was this place or what, but just to note. Other than that it was a great place, little too crowded and noisy for us. But service was great, overall I'd go back, as long as I knew it was this place that made us sick!

We stopped in on Sunday evening in April. It wasn’t too crowded and we got a table right away. The space has a mix of tables and booths. Our server was friendly. We ordered the garlic cheese curds, two pizzas and an Italian sub for the table. The cheese curds were lightly breaded and served with warm marinara sauce. Both pizzas were very good and had generous amounts of toppings. I wasn’t sure about the Italian sub as it came with a runny/watery sauce on it, but it was very tasty. We will definitely be back.

Yum yum. Talk about the best steak and cheese subs on Topsail island and the kiddos love the cheese pizza. It was so worth going and definitely worth going back to again. The staff was super friendly and made sure you had plenty to drink with your meal. Look them up online for menu items..dine in or carry-out your choice. But trust me dine in was my first choice.
