Lolita's Pizza - Pizza restaurant in Poughkeepsie - 129 Washington St, USA

Every aspect of Lolita’s brings joy. Really fun aesthetic and truly fabulous cocktails and food. Their kale caesar is the stuff of dreams, even my most vegetable-loathing friend couldn’t stop eating it. The brussels sprouts are also up there on the to-die-for scale. Their pizzas are thoughtfully crafted, their cocktails are so solidly balanced. Their papardelle is silky and beautiful— it’s everything that Shadows on the Hudson’s house made pasta wishes it could be. Menu is priced just right for high quality of the entire dining experience, which varies from lively and bustling on a Friday night to calm cute and cozy on a Sunday or early weeknight. One thing I will say is that I miss the crispy calamari…but I also appreciate a freshly updated menu so it will live on in my memory! Last but not least, their staff is really kind and attentive, which always makes the experience pleasant.

A must visit restaurant in the area. Staff is friendly and we’ve never been disappointed in their food, one of our favorite dishes is the kale salad which we always order along side one of the special pizzas on the menu. The arancini appetizer is made to perfection!

First time here and DAMN! Their wood fire pizza causes a foodgasm and the crust is so good, you will ask for some olive oil and red pepper flakes to dip. The guys servicing are awesome and know the menu. One of those joints where you know everything is good

Had lunch here on recommendation from a family member. We worked up an appetite after a walk over the bridge on the Hudson just above it. Can't say enough about the wonderful staff, the exceptional food and the charming decor. Wish we lived closer so we could visit more often.

I have to be one of those reviewers who says I’m coming from NYC and can eat the best pizza anytime I darn well please, and I have never eaten any quite like this. The corn salad is also amazing. But the pizza! Wow. Try the sausage and peppers with that creamy ricotta layered on it, or go with a margherita and see how great the classic tastes. My seven-year-old was with me and ate more than I’ve practically ever seen her eat — we both know quality when we come across it.

It's a great looking restaurant. Wished we had time to dine in, but that wasn't in our schedule. The New Yorker pizza tasted absolutely delicious. Our only downside was that all 3 pizzas were burnt around the crust. I'm not sure if that's normal here at this pizzeria. Their Kale Salad looked great, but unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to taste it.

Update: our to-go place. my husband and I love coming to Lolita’s. If they have a fig pizza on the menu - try it! It’s amazing! Just moved to Poughkeepsie a little over a week ago and this place was recommended to us by multiple people. Pizzas are delicious! I got New Yorker and my husband had Sausage & Peppers. It was sooo good! As well as pasta they make in the house. We got Lumache with meatballs. Meatballs are so tender. They just melt in your mouth. When we got there it wasn’t busy so we got our food super fast. I loooved the mocktail I got. The place is stylish, the service is great and food is amazing! We will come back for sure!

Do one thing and do really good, that’s what I think this place does, they have a very small menu and they really make it great, salads pizza or pasta, whatever we ordered was amazing, the waitress was very nice and knew what she was doing and recommend the pizza and salad! I am a big fan of visible kitchen so I can see who and how they are making our food! The place is small, busy, very clean and food is amazing, the prices are very reasonable! They have street parking!
