I ate here last week but just got to writing the review. The pizza, which they're known for, is good. Not upper uber great like some of the other brick oven spots on LI, but definitely good and worth the drive over. However, I also ordered the shrimp parmigiana and it was incredibly. I even asked if they could do it in a pink sauce. Some places just give you a vodka sauce when you ask for that but these guys did it right and made a new sauce with a little light creme in their usual red sauce. Delicious. Get it. Look at my pics, I zambonied the plate with bread it was so good. The pizza was good, the pasta was very good, the shrimp parm was great! Ambiance an A+ cause it's a beach town in the summer. The waitstaff was on point for point lookout. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon with my husband sister in law and infant we ordered meals at counter and sat ourselves inside dinning room after 20 minutes they brought sister in law her calzone after 30+ minutes they came to tell me they didnt have main dish that I ordered ( it was a special that was posted on blackboard out front) we decided to leave because at that point ordering something new wasn't a option with a infant! We canceled the rest of the order! They refunded us for the dishes we didn't receive ( still charged us for our sodas) . Weird experience to say the least. read more

Indoor dinning is back! This place serves up some great Italian cuisine. Prices are more than reasonable given that their portion size runs on the larger side. Got the Zucchini Linguini, Shrimp Scampi, Siciliana salad and mussels to share. Highly recommend this establishment! read more

Still no changes... horrible. I suggest people stile with basics there, anything beyond that they can't make well. Don't even bother with his other place once it opens, the last menu was even worse. Mo... Per you menu...   GRANDMA Thin crust square pie with hand crushed plum tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, fresh garlic, fresh basil and infused olive oil So where's the fresh mozzarella? Every time it gets made with shredded processed mozzarella. Perhaps you should read your own menu or try a real grandma slice from other places that use "FRESH" mozzarella read more

Ordered a pizza and caesar salad for take out. The salad was very good but was disappointed with the pizza. It looked like low fat cheese was used?? The cheese would not melt and you could still see the shredded cheese form after the pizza was cooked. Also there was not a bit of oil from the cheese. The sauce seemed very bitter or acidic. read more

Amazing pizza and restaurant. The baked clams were perfect. The eggplant parm and shrimp parm were delicious and all portions were big. We sampled some pizza and one word - WOW!! We met Mo and he was a great host. We highly recommend everyone to go and try. Go hungry as you'll need the extra room. We will be back!! read more

Food is excellent. Just like homemade. Mussels are tasty and flavorful. Eggplant Parmesan is good. Eggplant is not fried and it's still Delicious. Sauce is not raw. Tastes like it's been cooked well. I've eaten here many times and it is one of the best Italian restaurants I've eaten in. If I had to say one negative thing it's the waitress and bus boys need a little more training. Although they were friendly and courteous they seemed to be flustered and it was not busy. But they got the food out and did their job. They are trying and need a little more guidance. Would recommend this place to all my friends and family. read more

Loved their pizza! We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful day. Definitely going back to have dinner.

This evening placed a take out order, was told that it would be 20/25 minutes, went to pick up my order after 20 minutes and was told it would be a few more minutes, after a couple of minutes I noticed that they were just making my pizza, told them that this was really not acceptable, at which point the owner (?) started loudly berating me, that I should take my business elsewhere, I don't think that's how you should act in front of paying customers. The pizza was marginal at best, the sauce is not very good. You try very hard to support local businesses but to be berated in public will cost them a long time customer! read more

After hearing great reviews of Mo'Nelisa, my brother and I stopped by for a quick bite after Volleyball practice at Nickerson Beach. We were exhausted, but craving good, hot pizza! We weren't aware that you couldn't order slices in the dining room, but our server, Ana suggested a personal pie for him, and she let me sneak in an order of my favorite, chicken roll! The food took a while to come out, but the wait was definitely worth it. The pizza was hot to the touch, and the cheese melted off as we picked up each slice. The chicken roll was probably one of the best I've ever had. The chicken was perfectly breaded, and fried to just the right temperature. Definitely tasted like they put a lot of love, and effort into the food! I look forward to dining at Mo'Nelisa in the future, and will definitely return to try the heavier plates of food! read more

Great place for some decent slices, went the other day, sat outside, 50° beautiful out. I try to stop when I'm working in the area, but today I had the day off. Real good food. read more

My family are regulars at this restaurant. Food is always good and service is great. We recently went there for Christmas Eve dinner. Chef Jon makes the best feast of the seven fishes. When I complimented him on a great meal he said he wanted it to feel like you were back at your grandparents house. We'll you certainly accomplished that for me ! Thank you !! read more

Amazing food, portions are huge, staff was fabulous. Highly recommend the chicken parmigiana. The best sauce I've ever had! We travel an hour just to go there, definitely worth it! read more

We came down to Point Lookout to go to the Buoy Bar which had over a 2 hour wait so we found this little spot to try it and thank god we did! Anna was our server and was one of the most caring, attentive waitresses we have ever had the pleasure of being served by. We started out with the fried mozzarella which were cooked to perfection. I ordered the linguine with white clam sauce which was to die for. We also ordered the cavatelli, chicken parm with vodka sauce, eggplant parm, and the fried chicken caprese. Not a complaint about the place! Quiet with a good crowd and outdoor seating which is great in the winter! Will definitely be coming back here. The owner was also very welcoming and nice, very glad we stumbled upon this place! HIGHLY recommend. read more

MO'NELISA - Linguine with White Clam Sauce - Pizza Near Me - Point Lookout, New York

I hate to give a negative review to a place I had high hopes for. I love going to Pt. Lookout in the summer and love eating pizza. I used to hit Olive Oils for an early brick oven pizza and an entrée or two. Met up with a friend who was doing business in Long Beach so rather than driving elsewhere we met halfway here. Ordered a pizza, burrata, meatballs, and the fruitti di mare spicy linguini entrée. I wish I could say anything beyond this place will need a new chef to thrive. It may survive alone on the pizza in the summer (which was an absolute let down) and the fact that there isn't another pizza place for miles. Sorry Mo...it's a No-Go!! read more

I was passing by and saw this place and decided to stop in, I'm glad I did. Great atmosphere, quality food and our waitress Michelle provided outstanding service. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for quality food at a very reasonable price. Thank you, Rich read more

I ordered from Mo'Nelisa many, many times and I also recommended them to my coworkers. They received much business from our organization for birthdays, celebrations, etc. When I called this past week for my pretty regular lunch order....they did not deliver some of my order, but charged me. I called and was told that "I complain too much and if I keep complaining they won't deliver to me any longer...." I was mortified. I politely told the rude telephone person that they need not worry about that as I will bring my business to East End Pizza. As a side note....they never put in forks or napkins in your order. As read more

Missed the mark.. First visit to this establishment. Very welcoming but the young server gave lip service to my specific request and didn't deliver My wife enjoyed her entree, me..not so much.. Dining room is an outside room and apparently they have not figured out how to control the room temperature. Owner spent time greeting and sitting with those he knew, but not with those he didn't. Don't know if we will be back... Some wise ass just responded to my review, nice way to attract more business. Lots a Luck Moan ah Lisa read more

We just moved to Point Lookout in September and hands down this is the best pizzeria we have ever had. Mo'nelisa has great customer service and excellent deliveries and the food is just out of this world. Highly recommend!! read more

We had a house full of company this past weekend to finish our 2019 holiday celebrations. We met with John, the chef at MO'NELISA in Point Lookout, and catered our dinner. The Chicken Francaise, Fried Shrimp and Penne Ala Vodka was fabulous. We love dining in at Mo'nelisa, they will now be our go to for catering as well. read more

I usually dont leave reviews, but i felt compelled given im a town worker in town and the drastic change to the quality of the food is wild. Been going to this pizza place since they were bought out and changed there name to monelisa from olive oils, up until recently the pizza has been great. Id say a few months ago the pizza changed. Its Has such a high dough content and the grease, man its so greasy now. I just got a couple slices and you cant even pick them up, cheese is fallling off and the bottom of the box is COVERED in grease. I hate to say it but i think im done going here. read more

Happened again....awesome alfredo pizza, but they dont observe the Yelp free slice offer...very strange

Love this place! Went there last night with my pre teen daughter and her friends. They all loved their meals which for 12yr olds is tough!! The broccoli rabe and sausage appetizer is perfection. My entree was shrimp scampi over zoodles. Still dreaming about it now. Thanks again for a great meal!! read more

horrible - they ran out of the burrata as an app. Ordered the mussels instead. Out comes dinner and app together. Mussels were tiny, so was the wine pour. Homemade bread- cold... Dinner done in 30 minutes- Never going back read more

The food was good but the service was terrible especially the guy behind the counter. The food was also over priced and it takes over an hour to make a cheese pie. They also rushed us to order. read more

Been enjoying this place for many years , two slices and a cup of water , after a several mile walk thru Long Beach . Get the family there too a couple of times a summer for a sit down dinner .. Staff and food have always been great , till tonight . With no salt shaker to be found , I humbly asked the three behind the counter for some salt . I was met with indifference and no positive response . I left with my slices and zippo salt ... Darn shame .. I will try once more after future walk , as sitting on a outside stool , eating my slices has been a nice experience often in the past . read more

I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THIS PLACE AGAIN!!! THEY JUST FREELY DELIVER FOOD YOU PREPAID FOR TO ANYONE. I called after an hour of waiting to find out they delivered it to someone who had no affiliation. They did not call me or anything to let me know they were here, I am just absolutely shocked that they deliver your food to just anyone after you prepaid for it. I can only imagine what their restaurant service is like. read more

We were out at the beach last wk and have heard wonderful things about this place!! We ordered a few pies and they were absolutely delicious!! Hoping to be able to come dine in one of these days read more

The service here is horrendous. The teenaged girls that run the place are overwhelmed when there is more than two customers on line and I witnessed them mess up multiple (phoned in takeout) orders from customers that were standing on line in front of me. The owner is rude and incompetent when it comes to customer service. He literally was helping customer from the back of the line ahead of customers in front of the line that were already waiting 10 minutes or more. He's rude. The next time I am in Point Lookout and am hungry, I'll go get a snack from the Mobil gas station before I ever give this place another dollar. read more

Mussels, calamari and clams were quite bad. Shrimp passable. Bread and olive oil were good. Service good. Cosmopolitans were good. I wish I could be more positive. read more

Stopped here for dinner on our way out of a town for a little getaway. Contemplated getting pizza or full dinners...opted for dinners, should have opted for pizza. Ordered fried calamari...most pieces were over battered and dry. For a restaurant in a town known for seafood, it was disappointing to say the least. Normally, I would ask for what's left to be wrapped and did not. Our party also ordered cavatelli and chicken Parmesan. Cavatelli portion was big, pasta was not. Sauce on the sweet side, just not a fan. Chicken parm came on bed of pasta, it was ok if you were a fan of the sauce. Dinner came out literally 3 minutes after app and I had to ask for the slices of pizza for kids after we received dinners. Waitress super nice. Person who seemed to be in a managerial role wearing flip flops and plain tshirt/shorts when rest of staff wearing black and logo shirts. Nice dining room. Will stick with pizza next time. read more

We ate here last Saturday on a recommendation of a friend of ours. Old school Italian food and huge portions! Our server Wes was probably the best young waiter we have ever had. He was attentive and knowledgeable and couldn't do enough to make us happy, and he was honest when he answered our questions instead of trying to upsell us. We shared the fried ravioli app and then split the special, which was friend calamari and shrimp with pasta. It was delish and we got like 3 meals out of it. Chef Joe's red sangria was the bomb! Fruity and tasty. We sat outside and people watched which was a nice experience too. We will definitely be back! read more

Went for a nice bike ride on the boardwalk and was starving lol. Heard about this pizzeria and had to try it out and OMG!!!!!!! Absolutely amazing! Had a regular and buffalo chicken slice and was so delicious and fresh! Best way to judge a good pizzeria is look at the back of the pizza and if it has a nice tan color the ovens are clean and pizza will always taste the best! Get place and highly recommend it! Next time we are going in for dinner! Place is so cute and cozy! LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! read more

Outstanding - worth the trip from Seaford! Food is absolutely delicious and the service was impeccable. Place was packed and the owner "Mo" was right up front graciously greeting his customers. Had the Broccoli Rabe with Grilled Sausage and it melted in my mouth. The entire experience was phenomenal and I will be back for more! Thank you for a great experience! read more

Excellent eats and atmosphere. We sat outside. Great iced cream place next door too. Their asparagus salad is excellent, but ask for the dressing on the side read more

We ordered from this restaurant when we were at nickerson beach. They delivered right to the parking lot. We got the dinner for four and food was delicious. Portion was generous too. read more

All the pasta sauce options are delicious and there is a large variety of Italian food to choose from. For appetizers-The fried mozzarella was crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside. We saved the red sauce that comes on the side to accompany our main meal. That's how good it was!! The buratta appetizer also came with prosciutto, roasted peppers, tomatoes, and olives- plenty for 4 people to share. Then onto the main courses! I had the linguini with clams with a gluten free substitution. The pasta was cooked al dente and I couldn't tell it was gluten free. They also had vegan options for my table. The eggplant parm was a huge portion. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone for dinner. read more

Dined here for the second time last night and remain impressed. The service was quick and friendly, and accommodating to my wife's dietary needs. She had the zucchini linguine with grilled chicken added. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the marinara sauce was on point. I had chicken cutlet parm with "traditional" sauce and was only able to eat half the portion. Looking forward to the balance for tomorrow! The bread was warm and my martini was cold....what could be bad. Hey, it's the dining room of a pizzeria, but sometimes these are the best places. My only suggestion...maybe a house-made pasta or two. read more

We stopped at Mo'Nelisa last night and ordered The South Shore Salad which was delicious and the eggplant parmigiana was equally as good.All paired well with a delicious Montepulciano di Abruzzo read more

The food was excellent. We were lucky enough to have a nice day and sit outside. They had a ravioli dish with a la vodka sauce that was awesome . read more
