    garlic knots
    Joyce K.

    My boyfriend and I intended to get the $12 pizza deal from Whole Foods on a Friday, but didn't realize that they stopped making pizza at 7 pm. In search of a pizza spot to fulfill a craving we walked to La Rosa's. When you enter the pizzeria, you can either order at the counter or dine-in in an adjacent area. We sat down and ordered a 16" pizza with half steak and half green peppers and an order of 6 garlic knots. The garlic knots were delicious, but we both agreed it could have been more garlicky. When the pizza came out, we saw that there was no steak as we ordered. Our waitress was very apologetic and it was fine, but we were looking forward to steak on the pizza. The pizza itself was only alright. The bottom of the pizza was a bit soggy and not crispy and the cheese was not very attached to the pizza and seemed to fall apart. Overall, La Rosa's was ok, but we would try another pizza spot in Metuchen next time.

    Everything here is delicious! I like the pizza here because the crust is thin and crispy and the sauce is flavorful. They are generous with the pizza toppings. I've had the lasagna a few times, some of the pasta dishes, the veggetable panini, an eggplant Parmesan sub, and salads. I've enjoyed the flavor of absolutely everything I have ever eaten here! This is a friendly family run business and the customer service is excellent. I usually get my order to go, although I have sat at the counter and had pizza on my lunch break. There is a dining area to the side that is a little more fancy but I have not been there for table service. There is free public parking in a large lot behind the restaurant. Please note, this is NOT the same restaurant as the nearby LaRosa Chicken and Grill. That has different owners. This LaRosa's was here first! (I am surprised that another business with such a similar name was allowed to open just a stone's throw away.)

    I got food from them last night. The chicken was half burned and half all it was chicken fingers. They said that they were going to bring me another order. They never did the pizza. I got a large pizza pie Penny Lavaca with breaded chicken on top with the breaded chicken it was also raw in half burn I called. They told me impossible that's how they serve. It refused to give me a refund after they told me they were going to bring the chicken fingers back they never did very disappointed. I ordered from them always, and it never happened to me before. $61 damage drain we couldn't even eat it.

    Side salad

    Best food in metuchen. Everything on their menu is delicious. The service was phenomenal, very nice people and the food came out very quick. This is a Italian family owned pizzeria that serves top quality food. Starting with the garlic bread. It was the perfect amount of garlic and the perfect crunch. Fluffy on the inside. You can tell that the bread was made fresh. I ate the whole basket. We ordered one plate of calamari, which could feed a whole family. Very delicious. The veggie pizza was very phenomenal, prob one of the best veggie pizzas I ever had. The veggies were very fresh as if they grown it themselves. And the best for last. The penne vodka was AMAZING. It was my personal favorite. They give you a lot for your money. Growing up in an old school Italian family, I am very particular with my pasta. Therefore I was speechless. If I could give this a 6 star I would, La Rosas is the best in the business!

    Side House Salad

    This was a small place with about 15 tables. There were some photos from different parts of Italy I believe too. The menu was like a traditional pizzeria except the prices. The prices were very reasonable. The service was alright. We were not asked if we wanted dessert. The check just came. The bread that started the meal was the best food of the night. It had a slight crunch with a good amount of seasoning on top too. It was a good start. I went with the Romanellis ($13.50). It came with a side house salad where there were no complaints. The Romanellis was pasta stuffed with cheese in a creamy sundried tomato sauce with mushrooms and parmesan cheese. The pasta seemed to be homemade and was nothing like I have seen before. It was similar to a ravioli I would say. The sauce was ideal and went well with the mushrooms. I also tried the shrimp parmigiana. It was not very good. The sauce was bland and there was too much breading on the shrimp. The only positive was the number of shrimp present. Will I go back? Debatable.

    This restaurant came highly recommended by a great friend, so when I was thinking of a place to…read moretake my amazing daughter for her birthday, this was my first choice and I'm happy to report it did not disappoint. Service was tied with the food for first place! Starting with the friendly and helpful hostess, every single employee offered a greeting and a smile. Our server was Elijah, he was wonderful! Warm, friendly and professional. He was attentive and perceptive. He didn't hover but anytime we needed he re-appeared. We were greeted by two out of the three managers, 10 out of 10. Now for the food! We ordered the rice balls, maple wings a Pepper pig pizza and for my cocktail I had the blue Hawaiian. Every thing was delicious hot and freshly made. The outside and inside are visually appealing. I would describe it as modern meets industrial with a nice dose or rustic, very nice.

    Very excited about my visit here while staying in Woodbridge at the Residence Inn…read more Arrived just past happy hour (darn!) which ended at 5pm. Impressive discounts on food and beverages....next time! It wasn't busy so I was quickly seated. Fresh house made sourdough bread was delivered and delicious. The red sangria was a yummy blend and was a nice touch with my vegan pie. I ordered the pizza sans cheese and really enjoyed the eggplant, garlic, basil toppings. The house salad was a nice size and the fried onion topping added a flavorful crunch. I didn't care for the dressing though. Service was prompt and friendly, my water glass was never empty. Deducted a star as my cocktail, salad , and pizza all arrived at the same time which is a pet peeve. The server took the salad back but it was not refrigerated so she redelivery a room temp salad, blah. Sweet server just needs more training on timing. Or maybe that is the norm there. Next time, I will order 1 step at a time to avoid that issue. Private parking with an upper and lower area which was a bit confusing, will know for my next visit. Bread was so good that I purchased a loaf to bring home for my hubby in Atlanta!

Reconfirmed with my daughter that ordered "The Lucky Seven Sub." which she confirmed I did say it. Anyhow, the quality of the sub my chicken cheesesteak was nothing like Philadelphia chicken cheesesteak. Taste was bland had to add salt and pepper to give it flavoring. As for my daughters sub (Lucky Seven) it comes with grilled chicken. I've never seen grilled chicken so difficult when she bit into it. It was like fake grilled chicken not the real chicken it was like school cafeteria cheap chicken. A piece of frozen chicken defrosted in the microwave. Was hoping it would be chicken when you bite into it just melts in your mouth. Not the case for this place. Dining area was very clean bathroom needed cleaning. I went there and it looked nasty. For the price I paid for lunch and this is lunch no specials you are being charged extra if using your credit card, If you do not use cash on top of that I tipped. Honestly, It was not worth the money that was paid for the quality. But hands-down to the dessert which was cannoli that was the best thing throughout anything else.
