I really did not expect to find terrific pizza in Jacksonville, but it's really good, some of the best in the area.

The place is great! Subs, Pizza, good pasta dinners. Consistent quality, fast and good prices.

Strapasta is a great place to get lunch or dinner! Great food and service. Never disappointed! Always great food.

We only come here once a year because the Christmas tree farm we go to is in this area. This place never disappoints. Their food is always fresh, hot and generously portioned! Everyone enjoyed the large pepperoni pizza and fresh fries! The greek salads were large and packed with vegetables. The soup and sandwich is a great day! You get a whole sandwich and a nice sized bowl of soup. The salami and cheese was super tasty! The chicken cheesesteak sandwiches are tasty too! See you next year! :) read more

Love the pizza and subs. Consistently great food. Long time customer. Fast and friendly service.

Delicious food. Every single time!! Good gluten free selection. Nice staff. A go to in Jacksonville.

Great pizza. Everything else was just ok. Lots and Lots of spaghetti with 2 very thin pieces of chicken for the Marsala and Chicken Parm.

Great pizza and Greek salad on this visit. Nice atmosphere, prices and helpful service. My visiting family from Arizona have added it to the top of the list of places to return to. read more

Consistency and great service! A Jacksonville staple and the best pizza around! The Strapasta special PIzza is awsome.

We've been going to Strapasta for many years and they have been consistently delicious food providers. They have many creative Italian dishes and their subs and pizza are wonderful. Their people are so pleasant and friendly it's a joy to go there. On a Friday night it's packed as neighbors from all over celebrate the weekend there. I hope they never leave. We love them, our kids grew up loving them, and now our grandkids love them ! read more

Nice little local restaurant. I love the pizza and pasta. My husband loves the cheesesteaks. The only thing I have ever had a problem with was the Chicken Parm. read more

We moved from Phoenix to California more than two years ago and this is still our first stop whenever we return. Love everyone working at strapasta and the owner (who works there almost every day) is from Italy and really knows his food. The menu is extensive which makes it seem like the food might be mediocre, but don't be fooled. Best pizza for mikes, the salads are fresh and yummy and the pastas are perfect. It really deserves 5 stars plus! read more

Great food at great prices. And wonderful staff. Have eaten their food numerous times and have enjoyed everything I have had there.

I used to come here quite often for lunch and dinner since it is relatively inexpensive, however the quality of the food has declined over the years. Their tomato sauce is very watery and doesn't have much flavor. Also, they only offer a few vegetarian items, which is a huge draw back for me. Since I am vegan, I would ask for dishes to be made without cheese and it became a running joke with the owners (nice, I know!). I must say, the decor reflects true Italia, however if you try to come at dinner time on any given night, forget it. There always seems to be a youth soccer or lacrosse team dining in, leaving no tables available. If you are lucky enough to get one, it's usually too loud to hear yourself think. Bottom line-only come here if you are desperate and in the area. read more

This is my first time in this area and my friend recommended this place. I was highly impressed. The serving sizes are big so you get more than your money's worth. I'd highly recommend getting the chicken paesano, it's amazing and something different. The owners are extremely sweet and caring and takes pride in this place. read more

When we have a hankering for a unique and tasty pizza we get the campagnola (minus the green peppers :-)) It's so good!! Lots of other options too. read more

(12/07/2013) Had take-out pizza at a party from La Trattoria by Strapasta. Good size pies. Very thin, chewy, crust, no lift (it's a folder). Sauce was thin tomato-y, not seasoned, naturally slightly sweet. Had on it good quality cheese with high milk solids content, fresh vegetables that were chopped by hand, not bought chopped (green peppers and onions), quality meat (but sparse). Hawaiian had the standard canned pineapple. Overall decent pie and not from a chain. read more

See all

First, imagine a good 'ole Italian-American family owned restaurant with a great mix of Italian/American dishes, as well as a very down-to-earth and friendly staff. Then, go to Strapasta and let your imagination come to fruition. This place is great! Whenever I come in, I feel like I'm a part of the family. The staff is awesome and they make sure you feel right at home. The food is delicious and, when you order an Italian dish, tastes very authentic. Plus, the portions are quite filling and, in my opinion, perfectly priced. If you'd like to enjoy a wine with your noodles or a beer with your pizza, they offer a variety of drinks as well. With the Italian music in the background, I can honestly close my eyes and imagine myself eating in a restaurant in Napoli, Italy overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. (For an Italian dish, I recommend the Chicken Parmesan; for an American dish, try the Cheese-steak Sub; both are delicious!) I highly recommend coming by. In my opinion, this is the best place in Jacksonville to grab a bite to eat. read more

This place is amazing!! I come here a lot because the service is great. Also the pizza is perfection. My favorite worker is definitely Tyler because anytime he works there, he super friendly. read more

Been coming here since I can remember! Great pizza, solid subs, and kind staff. I always leave satisfied. The cheese steak is particularly good. read more

This is not an Italian restaurant It is a pizza and sub shop. Their pasta and other entries are ok. See pics. Even the fried stuff is a bit bready. They serve beer but don't have a bar. It's more of a waiting room for the takeout people. Order out, go early and have a beer while waiting for your pizza. Good for family dining in since it's somewhat loud. read more

Tomato bread is killer. My other favorite is the eggplant parm sub. I think the prices are a little high for italian carry out (i.e. all the pasta dishes are like $15+) but the portions are pretty big and could feed 2 people. read more

I am so glad i live near this neat little place. They service is great, they are usually always quick when it comes to carryout orders. This pizza isnt too greasy and it isnt too thin either. The cheese and the sauce is excellent. The Greek salads are out of this world. The dressing is homemade and it has its own special taste. Never had something like it before. We always ask for an extra because its so good! This is one great spot in Jacksonville! read more

i used to love the chicken cheese-steak sub here but the last time i was in strapasta, before covid, i saw the owner sneeze without even covering his nose. it wasnt busy so he was just standing there and it would have been no effort to cover up. i actually couldnt believe what i had seen. that grossed me out so much that i never went back. exhibiting poor hygiene habits like that would make me wonder how clean they keep the place. ive had food poisoning before and i am not willing to risk getting it again. read more

Always amazing food. I love their fettuccine Alfredo and their sausage pizza. Friendly and fast service. So lucky to have this restaurant right down the street! read more

I'm so spoiled by this location with their great pizza that I pretty much don't get pizza anywhere else anymore. The prices are reasonable, the staff is usually friendly, and the location is clean. It's a great place to hang out and get great food without blowing your budget. read more

We have been loyal customers of Strapasta since it opened. The owners are always super friendly and welcoming and greet my family and I when we walk in. The food is always great- from pizza to pasta to the cheesesteaks. read more

We've been customers of Strapasta's for years now. Although we live in Towson and it's not the closest restaurant, we don't mind the travel time; the food is THAT delicious. In fact, the item that we absolutely love isn't even on the menu! The wonderful staff makes our delicious "seafood" pasta to order. We can always rely on Strapasta's consistency in producing great tasting food...time after time. This is what keeps us coming back for more. Always well done! read more

By far the best pizza you will find in this area. Not to mention their stuffed shells and manicotti are so delicious! They don't charge you a ridiculous amount and you are never disappointed. Highly recommended read more

I've been coming to Strapasta since I was 8 years old when I lived in the area. I recently came back twice and nothing has changed. The pizza, tomato bread, cheesesteak subs, Greek salad and cannolis are still as amazing as I remember them. And maybe it's because I grew up on them, but l would rather drive 20 minutes to pick up a pizza from here than order from anywhere in the Timonium area. read more

Strapasta - Cheese steak pizza with peppers and onions. 10/10 - Italian Near Me - Phoenix, Maryland

This is a regular stop in our weekly dinner menu. The food is prepared with care and delicious. The prices are very reasonable. The pizza is awesome but the Greek salad is one of my favorites. Beer and wine if you want it. read more

Went there this evening got the special chicken fiorntanio for $16.95 . It was a big disappointment. It was supposed to come with fettuccine but it didn't. They gave me egg noodles instead. Never will I go there again. read more

My favorites are the chicken and broccoli, tomato bread and pizza. The food is super good, affordable and large portions. It is a good spot to go with family and friends! I also worked here for a few years, and still am a huge fan! read more

We just moved to Phoenix/Jacksonville Area, and are glad to have Strapasta in our new area. The calzones are my favorite so far.

I love this place. I've never eaten in, but use them regularly for carry out. The food quality is great, portion sizes generous and they are always flexible with dietary needs. They are friendly, professional, reliable and high quality. Just doesn't get better than that. read more

I love love love this place. Consistently good and I'm lucky enough to live within 2 miles of this place. Great for pizza or a huge calzone. I'm never disappointed read more

Perfect small town Italian bistro. Good prices, great dough for pizza, good meatballs, hearty salads, they sell single pour wine bottles. Clean, lots of seating, friendly staff, order and they bring your food to you. Perfect. Keep it up. The kind of place you have to tell your kids, "no, we ate there 3 times this week already" read more

I give this 5 stars because in the Monkton area..it's as good as it gets! I've been a fan since the first week this went into business. They are passionate about their restaurant and the proof is in the pizza. Fresh mushrooms, great cheese and a crust that seals the deal. Best pizza around. I once asked if they would ever consider delivery and one of the owners said hopefully the pizza will stay good enough he doesn't have to do that. Touché. Support local business, everything on the menu is great but I'm partial to the pizza to go. p.s. If you're a little hungry sometimes I go in and get their little bread rolls stuffed with fresh tomatoes, onions and parsley. Only cost a dollar or two and MAN do they hit the spot if you need to eat a little something on the drive home ;) read more

Best pizza outside of north jersey. Their eggplant parm is the best I have ever eaten. In fact, it is one of the best items I have eaten at a restaurant anywhere. Good people, they support local schools and sports as well as putting out a high quality product. read more

Delicious subs. Try the cheesesteak. Feel like pizza? Go with the white pizza. And they serve beer now too.
