We just moved to the quiet country town of Elmer and wondered if we were going to have to travel 30 minutes for a good Italian restaurant.  Boy were we surprised to discover that nestled within the 1 square mile limits of Elmer, right off Route 40, was a terrific Italian restaurant and pizzeria called Papa Luigi’s.  After one visit (and trust me we’ve been back many times since), we right away knew that Louie and his staff make some of the best pizzas and pizza specialties in South Jersey.  Eating their hot and cold subs is like going directly to the Italian Market in South Philly.   Their entrées are equally enjoyable.  We started off with their homemade calamari and fresh warm garlic bread, followed by a cold, crisp salad for me and a delicious homemade soup of the day for my husband.  We tried their tender Veal Marsala served with a side of pasta with Louis’s own Vodka sauce - yummy.  When the time comes to settle the bill, you would expect it to be higher, but in actuality you are receiving high quality food for a reasonable family price.  So come in and meet Louie and his pleasant and attentive staff, where no more will you have to pay for parking, tolls or high prices for a great Italian dinner with the family. South Philly has come to South Jersey at Papa Lugi’s in Elmer.
