I was excited to learn that Lolita's is under the same ownership as Lola's right next door! I would just like to start out by saying that this place truly does have amazing food and the staff is really friendly and sweet. Our waitress was very attentive and prompt. It is a very small restaurant, but I went at an "off time" (2 in the afternoon to be exact) so it wasn't difficult to get a table. I really liked the decor. Bowls scattered throughout the length of the wall behind me, and the whole place had a rustic/minimalist feel to it.

THE ONE THING that I was displeased with was the fact that as soon as I walked in, there were four tables that weren't bussed yet. I am not sure if the place was understaffed at the moment or if everyone had just gotten up and left at the same time, but if you're going to charge food for above average prices, it is important to make sure the place looks up to that standard. That wasn't too big of a deal, but it is something that I noted.

All of the food was brought out pretty fast, which I personally love. I ordered a cappuccino before my meal and it was incredible! All of the food is made from scratch so that adds some originality. I got the margarita pizza (I apologize, but I completely forgot to photograph it!) They only have one size: 12". I'm a small person (5'1 at 115lbs) and I polished off the entire dish! So just keep in mind that when you're ordering, they are all personal sizes. Or you can get a few different dishes and share each one. Next time I go, I plan on trying the gnocchi because the table next to me got it and it...

After a nice vigorous walk over the Hudson River, my partner, his family and I worked up an appetite. I had recalled someone mentioning this establishment from our last visit 2 years ago. Formerly the site of Crave Restaurant & Lounge, it was very easy to find as one goes down the staircase on the east entrance of the walkway. Lolita’s Pizza is quaint and welcoming, located on Washington Street in Poughkeepsie. Upon entering as first-timers, we were greeted by the staff as the restaurant was busy. Bowls scattered throughout the length of the wall on the right with a rustic/minimalist vibe. Since we didn’t have reservations, a table was available on their outside patio under cover for us. The menu was limited. As starters, we decided on the arancini (crispy fried risotto balls). As our entrees, we opted for Chicken Bruschetta Pizza, Tomato & Corn Pizza, Mac & Cheese and Gemelli (hazelnut arugula pesto, whipped ricotta, basil grana padano) with Burrata on the side. The arancini were so tasty and crunchy with a slight kick. The firewood pizzas were personal size and cooked to perfection with a little bit of char on the edges. High-end food quality was brought out pretty fast and tasted delicious. The portions were huge, so we took them home for another meal. Our servers Cody and Terry were super friendly and attentive. Prices were reasonable. Overall, if you're looking for great vibes and amazing food, this is the place that we...
