This is the best restaurant in Poughkeepsie. They do more than make some of the best pizza in the Hudson valley too.

The ONLY place to get real, NY, thin crust, wood fired, pizza. Definitely my favorite pizza. Nothing else compares. It's always consistent, always perfect. I wish I could give 6 stars. read more

5 stars all around for this wonderful establishment. From the service to the food everything was first rate. Decided to give this place a shot due to a friends recommendation of the broccolini pizza and it did not disappoint. Was in town with a group of friends, we were a party of 8 and even though it is a smaller restaurant they seated us within 20 mins. It's not an ideal space for larger parties but they managed and I think there is additional seating on the outdoor patio too! We sampled up some local beers and speciality cocktails they had a nice wine selection as well. There was a lot of different pizza selections going on at our table. Sausage, pepperoni, white, margarita.... I had the special, which was a carbonara pizza. A friend had the broccolini and we shared. Both delicious but the carbonara as by far the best on the table! That should be a permanent fixture on the menu, it was THAT good. We also ordered up some meatball calzones and pickled veggies. I ordered the kale salad to start and it was the best I've had in a long time. The dressing was great, the kale was bite sized pieces and it wasn't chewy at all like kale can sometimes be. I am already planning a trip back because it's that good. Bravo to the staff and chef. I'll see you soon carbonara pizza...isee you soon! read more

I was skeptical seeing a restaurant with 5 solid stars, until I ate there. Everything, and I mean everything, from the bourbon cider cocktail to the dessert was outstanding. Pizza, pasta, incredible. The only place to go after the Hudson crossing walk. read more

Their pizza is extraordinary, and the kale salad is the best I've ever had. It is a really quaint and welcoming atmosphere.

Great food , great people,Very clean,the food is always good! I love this place! Really nice owners. They take pride in what they do.

First time there this past weekend. From the food to the service was really good. The pizza was really yummy. We had three different delicious Pizza pies. read more

This place is amazing! Overall the atmosphere, the staff and the food is absolutely all around great. The rice balls, the flatbread and the pork neck gravy was delicious, I wanted more before I was even finished! I ordered the cresto de Gallo and it was one of the most delicious pasta dishes I've ever had, the portion was big and I was full about half way through but HAD to finish! My boyfriend had the lumache and that was also delicious, definitely has a good kick to it! If you go here you won't be disappointed. The best part about this place was I was completely satisfied and the bill was completely reasonable! I almost forgot to mention the absolutely delicious desserts they have. The peanut butter and jelly thing they have was banging. 100% get that if you go. This was great. read more

The server was a doll with every interaction we had with her. She found us a table though it was super busy. She recommended the kale salad which was delicious as well as the Mac and cheese special my son had and it was the best Mac and cheese we had in a long time. The pizzas are also very tasty...They have a rustic char on them. I got the margarita pizza it was what I had been craving. The place is on the smaller side but we were very comfortable for being a family of 5. We will add this to our list of favorites. read more

Lolita's Pizza is a small gem near the Walkway Over the Hudson in Poughkeepsie. Consistently delicious cocktails, excellent wait staff and the food is delicious. The kale Cesar salad is an absolute must have. Their pizza is thin crust and delicious! There is limited seating so arrive when they first open or make a reservation. read more

A little gem right off the Hudson River walkway. Wood burning oven makes everything better! They had a special of oven roasted Shishito peppers that was outrageously good. Home pickled vegetables and oven roasted olives made it a killer. The pizza is great and the wait staff can accomandate dietary requests. A+ read more

Stopped for lunch between visiting a nearby college and taking a walk over the Hudson. Very friendly staff and absolutely delicious neopolitan pizza. Thank you, we will be back. read more

Went to Lolitas tonight, "craved" a gourmet pizza pie A new place in town, we thought we would give it a try The decor and ambiance was perfect in every way Our waitress Lilly, she was great, really made our day Mussels for our appetizer interesting dish, very tasty, very nice Served with pita bread, the seasoning in the broth, had very good spice We then had the summer salad, peccorino radish and greens a nice variety Was it worth the ten dollars? Not sure, but it did satisfy my date, as well as me The wine was Millbrook Tocai Friulano. loved every sip It was delicious, bright, delicate and crisp Then came the Margharetta pizza much to our surprise It was that pita bread again with sauce cheese and basil, and a bit small in size We asked that our pizza be extra crispy as we prefer it that way It came out soft and doughy, not what we expected, must be the new type of gourmet While I appreciate the fine reviews Lolitas had received since they opened the door To us, the pizza did not hit the mark, we could not give it a score It is too bad the pizza was not what we expected however, the other items were very nice Although, I must admit, the portions were a bit small as compared to the price Don't think we will go back to Lolita's for a while So sorry to say that their type of gourmet pizza is simply not our style read more

Wow! This place is my new favorite pizza spot in Poughkeepsie. Everything from the atmosphere to the staff was amazing. My friend and I sat at the bar and the bartender Joe was great! Great personality, quick to get us whatever we needed, and served some great drinks! The food was so good. We got two pizzas to spilt, and an apple cobbler dessert. The salads looked amazing and I'll be trying that next time. Definitely recommend this if you're in the mood for some good pizza and some good drinks! read more

We took a walk on the bridge over Hudson and a friend smelled the aroma of sauce cooking . Our nose led us to this modern chic pizza joint. I have had pizza all over NY and this by far was top 3 . And if you think you have ever tried the best macaroni and cheese - you have zero idea !!!! The Brussel Sprouts out of this world . Joe the manager seems genuinely in love with his job here and the chefs let me know that the culinary school of cooking is elite read more

I got the special Broccollini Toast which had waaay too many salty ingredients to make it palatable pecorino and cubed Soppressata and a questionable add of RYE bread for the toast which was large crunchy and hard to eat. The egg on top and presentation were great but omit the pecorino cheese over top. I see this dish with a Burrata ball on the side and a nice slice of tomato to round out the acid profile. Overall disappointed. read more

Waited a few minutes for an outdoor table. Every single thing we ordered had a twist and was amazing! Warm olives, potatoes, flatbread, pizza, Mac and cheese, salad- and Cosmo!! Vanilla cheesecake was prob the best I've ever had- the crunchies on the side OMG. Never got a chance to try Crave (the owners' previous place), so glad I came across this. I cannot wait to go back. read more

We went to Lolita's for the first time yesterday and while we had to wait for a while to get a spot, it was completely worth it. Sat at the bar and Krysta was the best part of the evening! Very warm, engaging and attentive. Our mushroom pizza was delish and satisfying. Definitely recommend. read more

LOVE Lolitas. Their drink menu is unique, their pizza is great and above all I think their macaroni and cheese is my favorite in the entire county. read more

Very good food. The kale salad was beyond high expectations; it was creamy, crunchy, and deliciously cheesy. Loved the Gotti Pizza. Crispy / chewy/ charred bubbly crust. read more

SO good. our waitress was so on top of it and incredibly nice. she recommended the kale caesar to us and she was so right. the kale was massaged, dressing was clearly homemade, copious amounts of parmesan, and the pistachios added the perfect nuttiness. i also got the lolita's lemonade mocktail and it had such a unique flavor and wasn't too sweet. mushroom pizza had so much depth of flavor and all of our pizzas somehow came out at the perfect temperature so that we could immediately dig in, but they also weren't too cold. overall, an amazing meal and amazing service. i get why this place has a ton of great reviews. read more

My family and I LOVED the pizza at Lolita's! This was a 5 Star review based on the pizza. We had four different ones. All delicious. I deducted 1 star for the cocktails. There was a creative selection and we were all excited to try them. These guys have mastered the deceptive empty cocktail perfectly. The drink is in a very small diameter glass. Tall and thin. It's packed with so much ice it was difficult to get the straw back in. You see the level of liquid go halfway down on the first sip. Indicating the lack of volume in the glass. What a shame. Good drink recipes that are made well... ruined by the feeling of being ripped off. The other star is deducted for the lack of good air conditioning. It had to be 80 degrees or more in the restaurant. Another simple thing that really took away from enjoying our time there. I do want to mention that we were greeted warmly immediately upon entering. Brianna was our server. She has a perpetual smile so bright we could see it through the PPE mask. Lovely girl doing a great job. We didn't hold the heat and drink issue against her. We will try them again in the autumn months perhaps. Killer pizza is king. read more

Absolutely amazing! Friendly staff and great beer.

Fantastic. I love a place that has a limited menu. The 12 inch Neapolitan pizza was on point we had the Margarita, Soprasata, and Broccolino. All had amazing and unique flavors. Chopped Salad was large enough to share, and the Mac and Cheese was outrageous. In Poughkeepsie doing the rails over the Hudson Bridge and could smell the aroma from the bridge so we had to give this place a try. So pleased we did. Oh ya the service was great and they have a outdoor patio! Enjoy! read more

The mushrooms pizzas were fantastic!! The Gotta pizza stole my son's heart & he couldn't refuse!! The kale salad was so scrumptious..we will return!! read more

Pizza was amazing. Make sure to eat it while it's still hot or heat it up for 10 seconds in the microwave. We ordered white,red, broccoli, ny, and margarita. Red and broccoli was my favorite. We had people over with food, allergy , and religious restrictions! Owner was super nice and answered all questions. Vegans and Vegetarians--dishes can be customized. Make sure to ask. read more

Insanely good pizza. Love the New Yorker. Holy cow ! I'm craving it right now . Maybe tmrw!

Hands down, best pizza in Poughkeepsie! had the Soppressatta Pizza & Shishito Peppers and the Kale Salad.

Incredible food. Best Pizza I've ever had in my life. Good service. Nice sit down place as well. Highly recommend.

Truly GREAT!!!! experience today at Lolitas! We were driving to see FDR's home at Hyde Park, hungry, and short on time but hoping to grab a yummy quick bite. Not only was the wait staff charming and fast, but they went to the extra trouble of speedily making my Caesar kale salad with pistachios from scratch as they realized my salt allergy would be a problem woth the kale prepared ahead by massage with a little salt. In my experience its very unusual for chefs and waitstaff to be so on the ball and actually thinking ahead about customer needs in this very considerate way. Thank you!! My hubby had the neopolitan pizza which was divine with what tasted like a freshly prepared homemade sauce and fresh basil. Bonus- lovely shaded outdoor seating area so we didny have to worry about exposure to COVID! Kudos to this outstanding group of performers who were not only speedy and considerate but also really know how to knock out gourmet food st reasonable prices. If you are in the area, put them on your itinerary. And if you have time, take advantage of the opportunity to walk the Hudson bridge right there!! read more

Simply the absolute best from cocktails to kale salad to pizza (New York and sausage) to homemade pasta and meatballs and donut ice cream sundae for dessert. Everything individually was tops in its "category". Together they were the makings of a perfect supper. The service and servers were top notch and super friendly. The price was commensurate with the quality of the food. This place shot to the top of our rotation for places to eat out and recommend. read more

Pizza? Just pizza?? Heck no. The food was extraordinary! My son is a serious foodie and he recommended it. Kale salad was nothing like the kale I don't like, pizza was delicious as well as the pasta. Think we will order from their parent company Lola's for our belated wedding celebration. read more

I would give 10 stars if I could! Absolutely perfect food, service, price point and atmosphere. We were visiting at Marist and had a 3 month old puppy in tow. We were seated outside at a perfect spot, water and ice was delivered for the pup in a copper bowl, and our experience only got better. The whipped ricotta and rosemary focaccia, delicious arancini, garlicky lemony white pizza, pepperoni pizza, and an amazing roasted corn and heirloom tomato and provolone salad were all the perfect temperature, portions (shared), and fresh ingredients in rich tasty dishes. Service and timeliness was perfect from the choice of bottled tap water to the carafe suggestion for the chilled wine. Sadly we didn't have room for dessert but we will go back again and again. Don't miss this fantastic hidden gem! read more

This is an excellent place for a delish pizza. The pizzas were thin crust, fresh tasting ingredients, interesting mixes of spices, cheese, meat, etc. It made me think of pizza from Italy. You know how pizza can be so filling due to the dough, this was light but satisfying. Waiter was great too! read more

When looking at this spot , it appears to be a little hole in the wall... but you REALLY need to open the door! The service is impeccable. They are so friendly and inviting. If if can even imagine a food orgasm in your mouth.. this is what you you definitely experience when their sausage fennel and New Yorker pizzas. The homemade pasta dishes are the ultimate. This is our new spot.. (please don't share or tell anyone.. lol) read more

One of our all time favorite date spots. Love the cozy atmosphere and the food is DELISH!!! Highly recommend!

There ain't much in Poughkeepsie, but there is Lolita's. If you're in the area and you're hungry, look no further. Lolita's is your pizza spot. Cool atmosphere, interesting bathroom door decor, great pizza and even better Mac n Cheese. 5/5 read more

The best pizza and pasta in Poughkeepsie, Wappingers Falls and Fishkill area. Love their Broccolini pizza. Their pizza dough and pasta is made in-house. A must visit read more
