I haven't been here in about 15 years because of the store lack of customer service and consideration. I gave it a one star because I couldn't do zero stars stay away from this place patronize establishments that service the customer not ones with crappy attitudes. Just for the record it's a well-known fact of the community. read more

Always stop in here for beach platter sandwiches, it is great for a small group with turkey, Tuna, italian combo and chicken cutlet. Nice combination and takes the guess work out of what to bring to the beach. read more

We love Lasolas! A lot of deli options - we LOVE the Asian noodle salad. Can't go wrong with their breakfast sandwiches too. A little pricey, but you're at the beach so it's expected. read more

Lasolas Market - Breakfast sandwich - Pizza Near Me - Normandy Beach, New Jersey

We've only been there twice so far this season and already there's a difference in their sandwiches since MSM took over the sandwiches are 1/3 of the size they use to be, the bread their using for their subs is not even close to what it was before and the prices are crazy, You didn't mind so much when you were getting a good size sandwich but now forget it. It's too bad this was the go to place for breakfast sandwiches and subs I've been going there for over 20 years what a shame. Good luck to the new owners. read more

It's hard to believe that such a good shop , with a basically captured clientele could be owned by such a sour guy. Even the employees recognize it when told and shrug their shoulders "oh well". What a set up for another business who actually shows he values the business he's provided and this mans business would disappear quickly. He's obviously lost all interest in what he's built and why. Most people like to do business where their business feels appreciated and refer peopke a nuisance apparently long forgotten here! read more

Classic down-the-shore Jersey small grocery and deli. Leans Italian, of course -- it's New Jersey! Great salads, prepared foods, fresh fruit and veggies, good bread, bagels, rolls. Amazing sandwiches and subs. It's also a butcher shop with prime meats. My favorite place for great food on the island, despite the grumpy people who work there. read more

Lasolas Market - #11. Roast pork, broccoli rabe, provolone and hot peppers. So good I nearly passed out! - Pizza Near Me - Normandy Beach, New Jersey

2024 saw a large increase in all of their prices. No prices posted on any of the fresh deli, frozen, candy, dairy or grocery items. If you buy something you will know why $$$. I understand that their season is short but charging excessive prices has forced our family to move inland and shop at a similar store in Toms River. PS - the La Solas management and staff should be more pleasant and appreciative of their customers, read more

Rude dudes behind the deli counter, meat counter crew is always nice as well as the check out workers. I saw a man spray the inside of the roll container with windex and i watched as windex particles covered the rolls. Common sense would be to empty the cabinet, then clean it out. Otherwise, decent place for small food items. read more

Great spot to stop and get some stuff for lunch or dinner when down the shore. They have Boar's Head cold cuts and a good selection of pasta salads, prepared foods and meat. They offer sausage, steaks, chicken, burgers and anything else you may want. Last visit we got a Flank Steak and grilled it up when we got home. It was delicious. They also have odds and ends like chips, bread, vegetables, some frozen items, etc. if you need some essentials. Prices are a little high, but you're paying for the convenience of going 3 minutes instead of 15 to the supermarket. They are related to Double D which is up in Old Bridge, NJ. read more

Lasolas Market - Flank Steak (cooked by me) - Pizza Near Me - Normandy Beach, New Jersey

I have been going to Lasola's since they opened years ago. it is convenient and the food is fresh. I bought some frozen chicken patties along with burgers and sausage Patties. I never made them before and had no idea they needed to be cooked frozen. They turned to mush when I defrosted them. I brought them back and the owner dismissed me like I was an idiot for not knowing that chicken patties need to be cooked frozen. A new package would have been good customer service. Time to find a new deli. read more

I had such a disappointing experience there this morning. I went in with my 2 and 1/2-year-old son in his stroller and I was looking at the strawberries. I selected a package and placed it on the stroller where my son then knocked it into his stroller where it opened. I place the package on the shelf to reseal it and put it back in my basket and the manager or someone who works there huffed and shrugged and carried on at me and I said sorry, I'm just closing it I am buying them and then he snapped at me that the packages are not supposed to be open. I was so embarrassed and astonished because I was planning to purchase the item, I wasn't putting them back, nothing fell on the floor or anything. And I kindly explain this to him. At this point I decided to just leave the item and leave the store where another woman behind the coffee pastry counter snapped at me that she saw me hand the item to my son. To which I replied this is the most ridiculous experience I've ever had I will make sure not to come back and to which they both replied good. I could understand if I had selected different strawberries from different packages and you're not supposed to do that but all I was trying to do was reseal the package that I was planning on buying I have no idea why two people in the store decided be so rude to me. read more

The food is always fresh and five-star. Service is professional. The butcher counter is always stocked and meat is always top shelf ...definitely a place to go to when you are on the Jersey shore, great service, delicious food, and very conveniently located. read more

Very rude owner. Sold me moldy bread. I brought it back 4 hours after purchasing and was told that it was my fault for not refrigerating it.

Stay away over priced and poor quality meats, nasty owner save your money, go to Mid Shore Meats

Not very pleasant experience will not be returning again. Staff extremely rude there are much better places to patronize

Good lunch sandwiches. Great selection of premade food and dinners. Close to the beach but just order online the place is always crowded.

My online order was never made. Was told I ordered too late. I asked why my card was charged and the gentleman was extremely rude saying it is not his problem I ordered online. I will be disputing charge with my credit card company and filing a complaint with the BBB. Stop scamming people you guys have done this crap multiple times. Negative review. Won't be back. I'll get my refund read more

Great food, but staff is miserable and rude. Don't even think about asking for SPK on your BEC on a Sunday AM, they are "too busy" read more

The guy behind the counter (who I later found out is the owner) is a miserable piece of sh*t who has no concept of customer service. I personally witnessed him tell off employees and yell at customers. Today he was rude to my wife and it just became personal. If you are reading this, I hope you check yourself before you wreck yourself. I don't know why you are so unhappy but you are in the wrong line of work and running your business into the ground. We are taking our business elsewhere. read more

We specifically love the coleslaw- the best I ever had. Also really love the lemon chicken skewers -they are raw but you cook them at home. The cold cuts are delicious..... read more

Horrible selection of food, owner sucks. Go to mid shore meats! Way overpriced, ShopRite probably has a better selection. Enjoy losing thousands of dollars Lasola! read more

Walked in to pick up some meats and cheeses for Labor Day as it is the only market on the island. The selection was nothing short of 7-Eleven quality with ridiculous prices. We were already upset before we even checked out. For reference, we walked out of the store with 5 small items totaling $65. We walked to the car and was told by our family we no longer needed the items for the board so we turned right around before I could unlock my car and asked to exchange/return the items the cashier was nothing short of rude and unprofessional as she shrugged her head and murmured under her breath and went and got the arrogant slob owner who told me once I exit the store even though I was still on the premises, I could not exchange even though the products were off the shelf 7-Eleven quality that can easily be put back into place. " I cannot and will not accept a return as you stepped out of my store" On a holiday weekend at The Jersey shore the service was incredibly unprofessional and the food was horrible. Go to Midshore Meats where you can get fresh quality Italian products for half the price with good happy people. read more

Lasolas Market - $65 - Pizza Near Me - Normandy Beach, New Jersey

Decent market when you're in a pinch. Butcher is good and nice-usually. Deli counter people clearly hate their jobs. They're extremely rude as is the old lady in the bakery. I dislike giving them business but the location is killer for where my house is. So, food is ok, offerings are good, people are nasty. Enter at your own risk. read more

I understand this place is delicious and pricey but $12 for a bacon cheeseburger with no fries is insanity. Obviously, this only happens once. Make sure you check the prices before ordering. Food is great though. read more

Giving this market a 1 star review is being generous. If I could leave a negative star rating, I would. I've visited Lasolas market numerous times and every single time I noticed negative attitudes and hostility from every employee every time. If you order a sandwich and ask for it to be made a certain way or be made with extra sauce- expect to be given a dirty look, roll eyes at you and announce the issue out loud for everyone in the store to hear. This market is extremely skimpy with giving extra sauce or modifying an order. Every worker in the store is miserable and hostile. They don't mind showing this to their customers. read more

Location, Location, Location. That's what Lasolas offers and that's where it stops. Don't expect reasonable prices because they're not on the menu. Don't expect courteous service because no one there appears to love their jobs or appreciate the customers that pay their salaries. While vacationers might consider this to be acceptable allowing for the pandemic. this has been the the case here even years prior to COVID. As for the food, from pizza to bread, to ready made offerings, salads, sides and more, the food is average at best. All at a price that's synonymous with gouging. Unfortunately, this area isn't conducive to competitive startups so Lasolas carries on. Me? I would rather drive to PT Pleasant, Brick or even Toms River where you can get much better even if the prices are comparable. I can get lousy food and bad attitude at far cheaper cost most anywhere. The only saving grace of sorts is that they close down after the summer season. Not surprising since their only existence is predicated on anxious vacationers. read more

Coming from Brooklyn, we had high expectations. This place is an Italian Americans DREAM! The quality of the meat is incredible. Staff is so nice, especially the guy Don at the butchers counter, he was so knowledgeable, helpful and a lovely person. Will definitely be back! (Ps they're brined boneless pork chops and marinated skirt steak are killer.) read more

Sandwich was below average. Sandwiches are easy to make but hard to make well. It takes the perfect mix of ingredients and the proper proportions. This place did not have either. I ordered a turkey and cheese with lettuce tomato mayo oil vinegar and the sandwich was dry and lacked flavor. The proportion of meat, cheese, condiments just was not there compared to other places i have been. The market looked like it had a lot of different options so i can only rate the sandwiches but they were not up to par for me. read more

Super expensive, but super nice guy behind the butchers counter. As for the owner worst person I've ever spoken to in my entire life, he is absolutely miserable, and makes it very know to everyone he comes in contact with. Great location, but the owner and most of the staff and absolutely miserable. Try and steer clear of this place if possible, believe me the employees or the owner will ruin your day. I've seen this place year over year for 10+ summers and dread having to go back everytime. read more

I agree with every single one star review on this thread. The food is just as disgusting as employees attitude. Never been to Joe Leones but that's where I'm going from here on out. read more

The food is decent. But the service could not be worse. Everyone is miserable and they make sure you know this is the case. Give your business to a market that cares in our local town. read more

Paid 10.50 for a mortadella sandwich with 1/6 lb of meat!! It gets better.. the miserable old man will not provide paper bags.. he scalps the bags!! 1.99$... The 20 chicken wings that I had in a Tupperware we're not sealed properly upon taking my groceries off the counter the wings fell on the floor the owner pick them up and proceeded to hand them back to me !!? he would not replace them... owner is a complete clown and loser.. people know .. only open for 2 months to fleece the millionaires ... Pass! read more

Not only are they consistently rude but they're price gouging hardcore. We went in for some bbq meat and it was more expensive than wholefoods in Manhattan! To top it off my mother bought some pasta salad and she now has food poisoning... Go elsewhere. read more

Great place to get anything that taste great. Sandwiches over stuffed and tasty. Prepare food is wonderful. Butcher dept have great steaks. The steaks melt in you mouth. Having a party the catering is awesome. It's a one stop for everything that is good. You won't go wrong. read more

Found eveything I needed from excellent prepared meals to the ingredients to make my own meal. (try the bacon burger - you won't be disappointed) Good general store, well stocked in the items you need to enjoy the beach from soap to suntan lotion to breakfast cereal to bread crumbs to fresh hot pizza to hot coffee to all the daily papers. Opens at 7, but worth the wait as the bakery items are fresh and excellent. (try the iced crumb cake) Better still is they take credit/debit cards and don't make you use an ATM to pay cash. read more

Lasolas Market - a boy standing in front of a restaurant - Pizza Near Me - Normandy Beach, New Jersey

A true gem! You can't go wrong here - from pantry staples, prepared foods, deli counter, breakfast, and an assortment of fresh produce, Lasolas has it all. I'm looking forward to next summer when I can have their broccoli slaw again! read more

Food is overpriced and subpar. The quality used to be better, but this place is heading downhill. I got a grilled chicken panini that took over 10 minutes to make (because I wasn't allowed to call in only 1 item which is just another issue altogether), the chicken was cold and tasteless, and the lettuce was wilted. Not to mention, I felt ill after consuming the sandwich. Very disappointed, and I will not be returning-even if it is around the corner.. read more

This is the stuff that Italian-American dreams are made of...specifically my dreams, and my husband's because we think of this place longingly all year long in Seattle until we visit the Jersey Shore each summer. What's good? EVERYTHING. The Supremo sandwich with about a pound of prosciutto on each loaf, the arancini with the perfect amount of cheese, the side salads - yes even the health salad - the chicken wings, and the cookies for dessert. This isn't fancy, it's comfort food and it's awesome. Lasolas isn't just a deli; it's an experience, and one that everyone with an appreciation for good old-fashioned Italian food must have. I was there just last week, and now I get to dream about it for another year. read more

We have spent a ton of money at this place over the last 10+ years. Last week - for the 4th or 5th time in a week - we stopped in for food for dinner including a bag of frozen shrimp. We got back to the house to prepare dinner for friends and family and when we defrosted the shrimp they stunk, but despite this I tasted one to make sure. They were BAD! So we put shrimp back in bag, in freezer, with plan to return them. Yesterday we brought them back. The place was packed and my wife called a guy who looked like the manager to the side - rather than tell him in front of 15+ people - and told him the story. He snapped, 'That's impossible,' and proceeded to condescendingly explain to her the process by which this rotten shrimp goes from the nets to his display case. My wife explained that we had better things to do than to disrupt our dinner and make an extra trip back to tell him he sold us putrid shrimp. Then he weighed the bag against one of the other bags he had! Customer service at it's worst! He dismissively told one of the other people working there to 'give her her money back,' without the courtesy of looking at my wife. Amazing attitude to have in a business where these things happen. Makes you wonder... I'm sure this big shot doesn't care, but we will be spending our money anyplace but at Lasola's from now on. read more

When I travel to the Jersey Shore, I don't know what I look forward to more: the beach or visiting Lasolas. I could easily hit Lasolas for all 3 meals: porkroll, egg, & cheese for breakfast, pizza or sub for lunch, and then order of one of their entrees for dinner. Having spent many summers in beach towns on Cape Cod, I wasn't expecting much from the local sandwich shop when I first went to Lasolas, but I was blown away. The quality of the product is great, from the Boars Head meats to the roast beef that they roast in store. The locally baked breads are the perfect vehicle to get the custom made sandwiches into my mouth. Lasolas has grown the past few years, but always for the better. They are truly a family owned business that is making the Shore better. read more
