We found this spot last minute because the pizza place we were headed to had a 30+ minute wait- and I’m so glad they did because the food was fabulous. I’ve lived in the area for over 40 years and go to the same places that have become Jersey shore institutions when we get the thin crust pizza craving but La Lupa rates above them all. We ordered the mussels marinara, chicken and margarita pizza, garlic knots that were the size of my hand and even dessert! Just wow. The staff and possibly owner were super welcoming, friendly and we just could not get over how attentive they were. He made the marinara extra spicy for me for my mussels and the sauce even challenged my Nona’s (sorry Nona). The thin crust pizza was wonderful. Just the right amount of toppings, great sauce and wonderful dough/crust. We loved the food so much we asked if they deliver to ensure this becomes are go to pizza delivery from now on! The only reason they got 4 stars for atmosphere is because it’s a small little place with minimal tables as it’s a pizza place from a venue perspective with restaurant menu that I can’t wait to continue to try!

As a vegetarian, this place is so accommodating! Went in there twice right before closing hoping for a slice. When I didn't see much, they immediately offered to make me a personal vegetable pizza and it was sooooo good! Their desserts are great too. Definitely recommend.

Real authentic Italian food with Roma specialties. Everything I've had here has always been delicious and the service is fantastic.They also have espresso which I can't resist any time I go in.I highly recommend the homemade lasagna, Roma raviolis is one of the best, and they make their own meatballs from scratch.

I’ve been coming here for a long time. The food has been out of control hood lately. The lupa (margarita) pie is amazing. Hands down, best pizza AND Italian food in the area right now.
I go there every Thursday for the chicken francese lunch special !!

Anna and the family treat us as if we were their own! The food is outstanding, it’s fresh, and the flavors are top notch. Their red sauce, I could drink it with a straw. Their bolognese sauce is outstanding, and their pastas are always top notch. Their bread/dough is next level, there’s something about it that’s addicting! If you try LaLupa once, it’ll become a staple. Oh, the Romana pizza, fughettaboutit!

First time here, I grabbed a square slice with anchovies, burratta and Kalamata olives. Incredible combo! Never had anchovies and I’m glad I tried it here. Quality all around was beyond what I expected.I also got a traditional white slice, which was oversized, but I’ll never complain about oversized good pizza! Hands down the best white slice I’ve ever had, the ricotta was unreal.Lastly got a square with pepperoni, fresh mozz, and basil. Very, very good.The cute Italian couple running the shop were super friendly. I can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!

The pizza, garlic roles were very good, that we went back again. They are friendly and work in a quick time frame.
Our new “go to” place for great Italian food. Their entrees are delicious, generously sized yet nicely affordable. And their “pizza di romana ‘special’ “ is the best pizza we’ve found in the area. The crust especially is second to none.

Authentic. BYOB. Home made. Great service. 5/5.Came here on a recommendation from my parents just from their homemade bread. Absolutely everything we had was amazing. Without hesitation - I can say that their tomato sauce, cannoli, and tiramisu were the best that I’ve ever had in my life.Don’t hesitate to come and sit down either. BYOB and decent atmosphere.

Talk about finding a hole in the wall gem. Since a popular pizza place (think P & E) was super booked, we decided to try a new spot. 10 minutes away, no line and a really nice assortment of different pizza toppings. Nice thin crust, crispy and delicious.Family run, great prices and friendly folks. It's a little hard to see their sign out front but don't miss this place. We may have found our new go-to over in Neptune.

Me and my family were at Jersey Shore Medical Center for a week and ordered from here 4 times. Everyone was so kind and the food was authentic and delicious!!! The garlic rolls and meatballs are the best
