La Famiglia served me up a hearty, saucy and meaty lasagna. It was one of the best restaurant-made lasagnas I've had in a while! Of course I had to add a side of wings .. got the hot honey wings and requested them well done and they arrived as such. The wings were crispy, flavorful AND juicy! The entire meal was a hit!! Customer service via phone is also friendly. I called to ask a question about my order and the young lady was very friendly and informative. I can't wait to try their chicken marsala and chicken piccata! :-) read more

We ordered dinner and had it delivered to our hotel. When I placed the order it stated utensils would be sent. Also, under special instructions I put send utensils please. Order came 15 minutes later than promised. I called the restaurant to say no utensils were sent. I was told "we ran out of utensils and that's why I didn't send any". I asked how we eat lasagna and veal parmesan with our fingers. She said I don't know that is your problem. We are out of utensils-that's it". Very poor customer service. Their sauce was also very bitter. read more

La Famiglia Ristorante, Pizzeria & Catering in Maplewood, NJ has a huge extensive menu and everything we tried was delish! The chef here takes pride that everything is homemade including the hot honey! Homemade hot honey is 10/10! The vodka sauce so creamy and yummy-it's the first time I had drunken vodka fries and it's a perfect combo. It's also BYOB which is my fav!

Their pizza is amazing as is their entree. My only gripe is that there needs to be more room for people ordering a couple of slices to sit and eat. They made a dining area which cut that out read more

My wife had a hankering for chicken parm and we decided to order from somewhere new. We got the chicken parm with garlic bread with mozzarella. Also got the habanero wings. The chicken was tender and well seasoned. Their was a lot of liquid in the container that watered down the sauce but it had a good flavor. The garlic bread was extremely garlicky but I did like it. The wings were ok. They are jumbo wings but without the sauce they lack flavor. All in all I'll try to eat in next time. read more

This was the worst veal parmigiana I have ever had and their customer service is a "0". Don't waste your time or money here.

I ordered from Ubereats 2 12" on 9/12/25, pizza with extra cheese, sausage and pepperoni. I had heard great things about this restaurant and was told the food was good. I was looking forward to experiencing it for myself. However, I was highly disappointed that both pizzas were burnt so badly that they were inedible. I got a refund from UberEats, but I was disappointed that the restaurant actually sent out something that bad. read more

Nice little Italian restaurant/pizzeria. It's small and cozy. The service was excellent and they are very accommodating with the menu. They turned the grilled octopus appetizer to a dinner for my wife. My dad really enjoyed the linguine with clams and said he would come back again for that. I think the pasta dishes were the best. I thought the calamari and pizza were just ok (though I didn't eat then when they first came out fresh) but really enjoyed the entree. Private parking lot is a plus. They include tip for bigger party. read more

We asked for water were pointed to a bottle of water on the table then received a $9 charge for the water. The food was good but far from spectacular In spite of the price. The credit card then added an additional 4 0/0. Even on the $9 water. So that makes it 9.25. Now add 20 percent tip and that water has cost $11. Had they offered regular water that would still be outrageous. But we were told if we wanted water to help ourselves to the bottle. and the bottle of plane water on the bill and that makes the water $11 For plain water I hate being nickel and dimed. This is a neighborhood restaurant The waitress told us how busy she was since it was hard to find her. We were alone in the place. I won't be back! read more

I've been ordering here for a few years now. Staff is very friendly. Pizza is delicious. 10/10

Enjoy all the food and order from here often. Have tried several of the pizzas all have been great. Enjoy the pastas can't wait to. Explore more of the menu. read more

Restaurant is dirty I saw roaches running around and mice outside between the driveway by the other business the staff was nasty to a black couple who was patronizing the establishment and they refused to let them use the restroom the pizza was soggy this was my first time there and my last they need to be inspected throughly read more

I was very excited to try this place because I love the selection of their menu. We ordered the hot honey calamari and broccoli rabe with sausage for apps. The calamari was hard and the honey was watery and not hot at all. The sausage was good. For dinner I had the penne vodka with chicken and my husband had the sausage ravioli. The vodka sauce was like water and had zero flavor. The chicken was diced up so tiny you could barely even see it or taste it. The ravioli were supposed to be stuffed with sausage but they were regular cheese ravioli (definitely not homemade either). The service was good. The atmosphere is terrible. The yellow table cloths are ugly and the lights were so bright it feels like dining in a cafeteria. The neighborhood is also extremely sketchy. We did not feel safe driving there or walking to our car in the lot behind the building. We were there prime time on a Friday night and it was empty only one other table and only 2 people came in the pick up take out. Needless to say, for $80, we were very disappointed and will not return. read more

The pizza was amazing and the service was great, pizza was fresh and very small prices

I'm a uber eats driver went to pick up an order and they refuse to let me use their bathroom unless I bought something. Bad service for a business that uses deliveries service for their customer , I'm a older lady trying to make ends meet and really needed to use there restroom , I will be going to social media so no one picks up deliveries from them . read more

Normally this would be a 5 star review. I love La Famiglia and I order from them on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. HOWEVER I went to place an order last week and realized the only size pizza I can now order is a 16" aka large pizza. WTF?? Why did you take away the 13" pizzas?? I am a single lady and I don't need a large pizza. Even if I have a friend over, we still don't need a large pizza. Why would you do this? Bring back the 13" option! The only thing it's doing is 1) encouraging me to order from somewhere else or 2) order from you, but not order any additional items. read more

This place is AWESOME. If you are looking for very good, 'real' Italian food, come here. I'm back and it's my second time... lol. Pasta was fresh and tasty. Meatball sub was great! Caprese salad was delish! The staff was nice too. And now, I'm trying the pizza. I'll keep y'all posted! Edited: the pizza is VERY GOOD. The sauce tastes fresh, and they put a good balance of the toppings. It just works. read more

La Famiglia - Chicken Parmigiana - Pizza Near Me - Maplewood, New Jersey

I was given the incorrect order and my family is allergic to blue cheese and got 2 cups of blue cheese.

I'm in New Jersey for a few days working. I looked up pizza places close to me and saw La Famiglia and the pictures of the pie reeled me in. My family owns and operates a pizza joint back in Saint Louis, so needless to say, I consider myself a pretty serious pizza enthusiast. I ordered the drunken Grandma pie with the vodka sauce. We added a couple extra toppings, but I am dead serious that this is one of the best pizzas I've had in my life. The flavor of the sauce is incredible. The crust is PERFECTION. All around great pizza and there should be a line down the block for this pizza. I'm in town for one more night and might actually get it again. Fugggetttaboutit! read more

Cozy family run Italian restaurant, outstanding pizza, good pastas and coffee/espresso and desserts, nice servers, decent prices.

Food was decent, service was terrible. Waitress was disinterested and didn't care to explain anything about the menu and also didn't refill drinks. Had to ask for the check after waiting for 10+ minutes for her to come back. Definitely didn't feel like family. read more

We had delicious meals here, veal margharita and shrimp scampi. Also the stuffed mushroom appetizer was excellent. We shared a piece of delicious tres leches cake that was out of this world. Our server was excellent. If you're looking for a nice Italian place, La Famiglia is where to go! read more

The service and food is exquisite! My favorite.the Ambiance is great! The customer service is wonderful.

For a place that has no Yelp ratings, I was a little unsure of what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was quiet for a Saturday night, as it appears they get a lot of business from takeout and delivery. It was a very laidback, casual vibe, which I appreciated. We ordered the fried calamari and a personal pizza with pepperoni cups and long hots. The fried calamari was excellent! The coating was light and crispy, and the calamari was super super tender. The marinara sauce it was served with was also very good. When ordering the pizza, we noticed the option to order extra thin crust. Because we wanted to try their standard pizza first, we ordered it as it came. The flavors were very good - the sauce and cheese and toppings were fresh and tasty, though I wish I the pepperoni cups had crisped up a bit more. I tend to prefer a thinner crust, so this particular pie was not to my exact preferences, but it was still very good for what it was - more of a doughy, soft crust. Next time, I'd definitely request the thin crust. I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to come back here, but it's a nice place to try if you're in the area or catching a show at Paper Mill Playhouse. read more

Recently moved into the neighborhood from elsewhere in Maplewood and tried out the plain pizza. It was good stuff, so we decided to order for a get together I was having. The special slices were good, and the vodka fries were delicious. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and the dining room looks casual and inviting. read more

Solid pizza, and friendly service. And it's nice to have a sit-down restaurant in this neighborhood.

The best pizza ever!!! This meatlover pizza was perfect. Thin Krispy. It did have a little extra oil but it was from the meats

Food was soft and soggy. Very small portions and high price. Taste was very bland. I won't be ordering again from this place. I was very disappointed. read more

Food was decent. Service was marginally good; had to ask for things repeatedly, like silverware. The bill was padded and amounted to padding. I was in party of eight, with no one ordering a dish more than thirty dollars. With half of party ordering less than $25.00. Credit cards were used and no total bill was presented. No drinks (alcohol). Bill was individually presented, charging each card at $59.00...​ read more

Excellent food! just as good as their Caldwell location very comfortable place to dine love the decor!

i order pizza from this place every friday this friday i ordered pizza and shrimp oregano with mashed potatoes and spinach. It was disgusting. The shrimp were fried hard semi-burnt pictures to follow. My husband also ordered the buffalo chicken wrap, terrible. I'm really disappointed in this place. I don't know if they were trying to tell us something not to come back I don't know pictures to follow. read more
