TUSCANY PIZZA & CAFÉ – READ THIS

I walked into Tuscany expecting pizza.

I walked out questioning every meal I’ve ever eaten before.

Let me be clear: this is not a pizza place. This is a culinary awakening disguised as a café.

The moment you open the door, something shifts. The smell alone should require a warning label. The pizza hits the table looking like it was handcrafted by someone who respects you as a human being. The crust? Perfectly balanced—crispy, airy, and somehow emotional. The sauce tastes like it was simmered by an Italian grandmother who doesn’t speak English and doesn’t tolerate nonsense. The cheese stretches so far it should pay rent.

And then there’s the café side—smooth, rich coffee that doesn’t just wake you up, it reminds you why you’re alive. One sip and suddenly you’re more focused, more peaceful, and slightly convinced you should start a novel.

Every bite feels intentional. Every detail matters. You can taste that nobody here is cutting corners. This is food made by people who care deeply, almost dangerously so.

I’ve seen families go silent mid-conversation. I’ve watched skeptics become loyalists in under five minutes. I’ve personally reconsidered my weekly schedule just to make room for Tuscany.

If you haven’t been here yet, I honestly envy you—because your first bite is still ahead of you.

Tuscany isn’t a place you try once.
It’s a place you build cravings around.

Go hungry.
Leave humbled.“

“Very New York. Loved it. Sicilian the best. Friendly staff.“

“In the area for a dance competition and this was a must stop. We were here a year ago and had to return! This upside down square pie is delicious! The sauce is something really special!! It’s a good thing, for my purse, that we live two plus hours away!“

“mangias Jackson is the very best in food!!! Great service on top of their delicious food . Our families #1 stop when we don’t want to cook . Their buffalo chicken pie is the best , and the wraps are always fresh so stop in or call you will not be disappointed !!“

“If you are in the Toms River area this is a hidden gem. Real NYC style pie! Food is great and very authentic Italian feel especially the dinners. Pictures of Venice posted all over which is a nice touch. The dinning area has arches and beautiful photos of famous actors and famous Italian stars. In fact the owner is Italian and born in Italy. Apparently the owner Vinnie was the original owner of Cafe' Napoli in Shoprite Plaza in Manchester & La Gondola in Lakehurst making pies for over 20 years! In fusing years of experience "That's Amore'' is his best version of a Pizza Trattoria Italiana. Every time, you come in the owner Vinnie is so welcoming and such a nice guy! Always asking you how you are? Or how's the family? Did I mention Vennie is straight Italy? You can always here Italian spoken here. My Phil brother worked as a delivery driver a few years ago during college and said its like a family when working there. Your always welcomed back. All the staff is super nice never had a problem in the going there for more then a 2 and a half years now. Not an overly expensive place and not cheap food at all. Great to book for the holidays like Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, New Years, or a personal occasion you wont be disappointed. Even if they make a mistake, they are always pretty good & willing to make it correct for you. Usually giving you a free pie or order, if they mess it up. Great Quality pies! Give them try!“

“Wow! What a nice surprise! Great food and hospitality that's rare today. Authentic delicious made-to-order food and exceptional service. As first-timers, we were treated to a taste of their outstanding penne vodka and a creme-filled zepole. Wowee! We'll be back for sure. BYOB ???“

“At first, I wasn’t sure how good this place was since there was only one Tesla out front—but wow, were we impressed! We got the spicy well-done pizza and the Nish Nosh salad, and everything was absolutely delicious. Super friendly staff, a clean spot, and definitely a five-star experience!“

“Excellent food, huge portions and reasonably priced. I highly recommend Maria's. You will not be disappointed!“

“16 of us for a moms night out. They set us up in the private room so our cackling wouldn’t disturb the other nice folks LOL. Our server was so nice and attentive and the food was delicious. For appetizers we had focaccia, stuffed mushrooms, antipasto, rice balls with side of sauce. For dinner we had sausage and peppers, chicken francese, penne vodka, cavatelli with broccoli, roasted potatoes with balsamic drizzle. Would definitely recommend Capricci for a private party.“

Nice concept.

Dietary restrictions: Not sure but pizza is probably not good for you if your on a diet.

Parking: It’s difficult to park due to the nature of a drive through.

Kid-friendliness: Pizza.

Wheelchair accessibility: I’m sure the drive through will be accepting seemed pretty chilled.“

“I ordered a sandwich and wings yesterday and unfortunately by a pure accident my sandwich had the wrong peppers on it. I called just to let them know and with no hesitation they offered to make me a new sandwich. I wasn’t able to go back yesterday because of the time but they honored it today. I am so grateful and my sandwich is delicious. Friendly staff and great food. Definitely recommend!“

“I ordered the fettucine alfredo which was at once creamy, buttery and silken. The sauce was not cheesy-thick as some alfredos are, but light and yet rich in taste. Someone at another table ordered French toast, and boy did that smell good.And the other dishes other people were getting also looked delicious. Average pizza for average kosher prices in Lakewood. Sandwiches and salads are also available. There is nothing about this place that stands out (for good or for bad). The area is heavily commercial so parking can be tricky as well as commuting during busy hours.“

“La pizza increíble es lo más rico que he probado excelente servicio y los dinners están súper riquísimos“
