Italy’s Best Pizza is a hidden gem tucked away in a Lakehurst strip mall. While unassuming from the outside, the kitchen demonstrates their dough-making expertise in their pizzas and subs. It is family-friendly and offers great value with generous portion sizes.
The Food:
The Bread: The servers greet you with a warm welcome and a complimentary bread basket (half plain, half tomato/cheese sauce) that arrived pillowy soft. A perfect start with the butter.
The Pizza: The crust is the star with a satisfying, chewy texture.
• Tomato & Garlic: The sliced tomatoes and garlic provided an acidity and brightness that balanced out the rich cheese and sauce.
• Shrimp & Lemon: The zest of the lemon paired well with the shrimp.
The Service:
Special thanks to Nick for providing consistent, warm, and friendly service over several years of visiting this pizza shop.
Overall:
An excellent fast-casual Italian restaurant. Perfect for a quick lunch or a large family dinner without breaking the bank.

Love this place. Awesome food, terrific service. Any time we go it’s busy, so it takes a little while to get each course. I like it that way. No rush, enjoy your meal.

We got take-out with delivery twice in one week from Italy’s Best, for the first time. The dinners were delicious and with so much food! They arrived quickly, and piping hot. Their menu has so many choices, it’s hard to decide. We were so impressed, the next night we ordered pizza. We were equally satisfied then too! It was delicious and also very hot, and arrived quickly too. I can’t wait to go back and visit my mom to sample Italy‘s Best menu again!

I am lucky that I am able to travel out of our area every now and again. When I come home? I order out anything from Italy’s Best. Sometimes pizza, sandwiches or full meals. (Weird, but when I am out of the area and ppl learn that I am from Jersey? They always suggest their local pizza place.) I have so many other suggestions besides the images I posted below… more images to come.

I’ve had their pizza before as a delivery. It was always delicious! Today was my first time picking up food and it was so easy to order and they have such nice staff. I had a grilled chicken caesar wrap and fried raviolis. So delicious! I will definitely order again!

Had the pleasure of eating at Italy’s Best last night and it was wonderful. It has been a few years since I’ve traveled to Italy, but this dinner brought the taste of Italy flooding back to me. I had the pasta soup and lasagna which was very good. I’m in town for a month and cannot wait to work my way through the menu.

Very good pie. Moved away from Jersey years ago and was passing through and got a plain pie and it was exactly how the pizza of my youth tasted like. Old school Jersey pie. Can’t beat it. Owners were nice, pizza was made fresh and prompt. Would definitely be my go to parlor if I lived near here.

Met Bob and Francine with Kit for Dinner at this place to celebrate Bob’s Birthday. Over the 9+ years since moving to Manchester Township, NJ, we eaten here and taken out very delicious food that has never disappointed.
The Wife’s enjoyed their meals, Kit had the Shrimp Scampi that was a large plate of delicious pasta large shrimp and one of the best sauces she has had.
Francine enjoyed a large plate of Chicken Marsala…
Bob and I had the Large Combination Pizza, topped with Sausage, Pepperoni, Peppers, Onions and Mushrooms.
It was very delicious, nice thin crust with perfect texture , crispy and a good under carraige color.
We also enjoyed their fresh baked break with red sauce and white spice slices.
Also all of us had the famous house salads….
