La Gondola Pizzeria Restaurant Lakehurst N.J.

Mom wanted to go here for her 98th birthday. There were 14 of us and of course I called ahead since it was a larger group. We walked and in and saw they had tables set up for us, and also decorated with balloons and confetti on the table. It was a very nice touch. Everything was excellent. The 2 children had pasta & meatballs and the adult orders consisted of chicken Marsala, chicken française, eggplant rolotini, Shrimp fra diavolo, flounder franchise, baked ziti, lasagna, rigatoni with pesto, manicotti. Dessert came with our meal, but the boxed 14 cannoli for us since we had birthday cake. I would definitely recommend giving them a try. You will not regret it. Nothing fancy, no elaborate decor, just great food and nice atmosphere and an enjoyable time celebrating. I would be remiss if I didn't mention our two amazing waitresses, Gina & Christina who were wonderful and couldn't do enough for us. Thank you for making the day special

Went there last night for the second time an eggplant Parm it was delicious. The salad was delicious. They have a bread and dip. My friend had soup with his eggplant Parmesan with spaghetti. It was delicious. I wanna go back again tonight.

This place looks run down, I tried the grandma slice because all the other pies looked old and undercooked, definitely the worst grandma slice I ever had. I ate 2 bites and threw it away

Thoroughly upset with this place have been a customer for over a year . Since February I have had nothing but problems. One of my orders was 2 1/2 hours late because the driver broke down and didn’t report to the restaurant. Apparently this is what I was told so somebody had to remake my food and then bring it out to me. Another time ordered subs. They were completely soggy and missing like half of the ingredients to the sub, so I had to have the order made and brought to me again next time they forgot some of the order the person had to go and bring it back to me. Few times ordered after, the deliveries have taken a ridiculous amount of time to get to me (over an hour and half) I usually have to call the restaurant and ask where the driver is where I’m told about 10 minutes then 10 minutes and then 15 minutes and then 20 minutes goes by and then I have to call them again and I’m told something else. Food just arrived salad is massively soggy and warm. My croutons are soggy like they’ve been sitting for over 40 minutes before arriving to me. My sandwich was also soggy because the delivery driver decided to take over an hour to deliver it to my house when I am only a few minutes away, needless to say. I’m thoroughly aggravated and I will not be ordering from this place any longer.

Always very friendly staff and everything is made with love! One of the best eggplant Parmesan I’ve ever had!
