Your Neighborhood Italian Kitchen

Papa Luigi is the kind of place where one table can order a pizza, another can split pasta and chicken parm, and someone else can get an entirely plant-based meal.

That variety has become a big part of who we are. We want families and friends to be able to order together without everyone having to want the exact same thing. Come hungry, find your favorite, and make yourself at home here in Elmer.

A Vegan Menu That Actually Gives You Choices

Finding vegan pizza is one thing. Finding an Italian restaurant with an entire plant-based menu is another.

At Papa Luigi, vegan guests can choose from pizza, strombolis, subs, burgers, salads, pasta, baked dishes, chicken-style entrées and more. There are gluten-free choices on the menu too, making it easier for everyone at the table to find something they want.

They did a fantastic job for my party. The chicken wings were outstanding. The sandwiches were delicious. Cannot thank them enough for doing a great job.

Being from Va , I had to stop and try NJ pizza and this place didn’t disappoint. 10/10 in my book. Got standard pepperoni with garlic knots. Will come back when in NJ!

I had Papa Luigi’s cater my birthday party. Everyone kept asking where the food was from. My guests loved it! I ordered specialty pizzas, margarita, bruschetta, and bianca. I also had a tray of chicken fingers and salad. Everything was superb! I’m so happy to support a local small business and have never been disappointed with Papa Luigi’s. Thank you for not just fabulous food, but also maintaining a great “family owned and operated” business. ❤️
