“ Probably one of the best pizza joints on the jersey shore. As a local who try's to stay away from the boardwalk tourists and inflated prices, Lenny's is the best! With pizza on one side and sit down Italian restaurant on the other, service and food never disappoints and Benny the owner always makes sure you leave a happy customer. They are also open year round and have outside seating when weather permits. His wife also owns Iceberg Ice Cream directly across the street with ice cream made right onsite so save room for dessert! ”
“ Had some pizza from Lenny's , always tasty always good. I recommended to friends in the fall and they loved the place. I'll always go to Lenny's when on the island. ”
“ After realizing there's nothing really good to eat for dinner and Seaside Heights, we drove up to Lavallette. There wasn't a lot open on a Sunday, so we ended up at Lenny's. I don't love to eat Italian food out, but the smell coming out of this place was unbelievable or maybe it was that I was really really hungry. The waitress is very dead, even though she forgot to bring us bread, which is very important when you're starving! I ordered cavatappi with broccoli in olive oil and garlic. I would really give this a six out of 10 because it lacked in flavor. The meatballs that I got on the side were absolutely delicious though and made up for what the meal lacked. We also got a margarita pizza that was absolutely delicious. I really like Sicilian pizza and thought what we had ordered was the Sicilian, but she brought out a thin crust. We didn't get dessert because they don't make them in house. Overall, I definitely go back here. ”
“ Best pizza and subs in town!! Dine in or carry out always good either way. Chicken cheese steak sub is best I've ever had. Hubby loves the sausage pizza !! ”
“ We did a takeout order for lunch and everyone enjoyed their food. My sister had the veggie wrap and it looked delicious. I had the margarita pizza which I highly recommend. My son had pasta and it was really good. We used to go to a different Italian restaurant near Lenny, but it has gone downhill so I'm glad we found Lenny's. I think the prices were reasonable. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I would definitely go back here next year. ”
“ Cavatelli and broccoli is my FAVORITE from Lenny's. Look forward to it every year I come DST ”
“ A nice casual local pizza restaurant. We got here early and was surprised at how busy it was. We were seated in the back corner by the server station. Food was very good. We ordered garlic knots, meatballs, Caesar Salad (lettuce was wilted) and Fresca pie. ”
“ This is a good place to eat on the island. The pizza is on the thicker side which I like. It gets busy so expect a wait to dine in and a 45min wait for a to-go pie during peak dinner hours. If you just want slices, skip the line and go to the left side counter to the display case. $3.50 a plain slice. ”
