The Mona Lisa’s restaurant menu is a large Italian-American spread built around pizza, baked pasta dinners, cold deli sandwiches, subs and calzones. Mona Lisa’s Restaurant & Bar sits at 3574 N Military Hwy in Norfolk, Virginia. Most of its pasta plates come with a tossed salad, so you can often skip ordering a side.
This guide covers every major category, explains what each dish is, and points to the best picks for different cravings. You’ll also find listed prices, hours, ordering details and answers to common questions. Everything was checked in September 2026.

Location, Hours and How to Order
Mona Lisa’s Restaurant & Bar is at 3574 N Military Hwy, Norfolk, VA 23518, and the phone number is (757) 300-1361. The ordering page lists hours of 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Call before you go, because hours can differ by day.
When we checked, the online page offered pickup with order-ahead and showed delivery as unavailable. The restaurant accepts Visa, Mastercard and American Express. The site also has separate pages for drinks, specials, events, parties and catering, which this guide doesn’t cover.
Pizza on the Mona Lisa’s Menu
Pizza is the center of the menu, split into cheese pizza, red-sauce specialty pies and white pizzas. The restaurant also sells single slices for takeaway.
Cheese Pizza and Pizza by the Slice
The cheese pizza is described as classic cheese, or you can build your own. The restaurant’s own menu page lists five sizes: small $8.00, medium $9.75, large $11.00, Big Daddy $16.00 and Godfather $26.00. A single cheese slice is $2.90.
There is also a two-cheese-pizza option at $16.50, listed for large pies. Two large cheese pizzas bought separately would be $22.00, so the bundle saves $5.50. It’s the best value for a group.
Red-Sauce Specialty Pizzas
These are the classic tomato-based pies, and each has a clear personality. Prices below are the listed ordering-page prices.
| Pizza | What’s on it | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Spinach | Hand-tossed, tomato sauce, mozzarella, fresh spinach, parmesan | $11.25 |
| Hot & Spicy | Marinara sauce, pepperoni, hot peppers | $13.00 |
| Hawaiian | Pineapple tidbits, sliced ham, red sauce, mozzarella | $13.00 |
| Veggie | Tomatoes, peppers, onions, mushrooms, hot peppers, roasted red peppers, black olives | $14.25 |
| Meat Lover’s | Pepperoni, sausage, ham, hamburger | $14.70 |
| Masterpiece | The “has it all” pie | $15.90 |
The Masterpiece is the most expensive red-sauce pizza, and the menu gives no topping list beyond “has it all.” Ask staff exactly what goes on it before you pay the premium. The Meat Lover’s is the safer big-appetite choice because all four meats are spelled out.
The restaurant’s own menu page also lists large sizes. Large specialty pies there run from $12.85 (Spinach) to $19.35 (Masterpiece).
White Pizzas
White pizzas skip the tomato sauce and lean on cheese, garlic and butter. This is the most distinctive part of the Mona Lisa’s restaurant menu, and it’s where the house favorites live.
| Pizza | What’s on it | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Bianca | Grated parmesan and mozzarella | $12.55 |
| White Spinach | Spinach piled on a white pizza, parmesan on top | $13.80 |
| White Artichoke | Marinated artichoke hearts | $13.80 |
| Tomato | Fresh sliced tomatoes on a white pizza | $13.80 |
| BLT | Garlic, butter, bacon, cold lettuce, tomato, mayo | $13.80 |
| Grilled Chicken | Grilled chicken, butter, parmesan, garlic | $14.20 |
| The Agnello | Artichoke hearts and spinach | $15.85 |
| Philly Steak | Sauteed steak, mushrooms, onions, green peppers | $15.95 |
The menu calls the White Artichoke pizza “Mona’s favorite” and tags the Agnello as an “Agnello favorite.” Both are artichoke-based, so start there if you like that flavor. The BLT pizza puts cold lettuce, tomato and mayo on a hot white pie, so it eats more like a sandwich.
On the restaurant’s own page, large white pizzas run from $15.30 to $19.35.
Calzones and Strombolis
Every calzone here is baked with pizza sauce, ricotta and mozzarella. The Traditional Stromboli is the cheapest at $9.50, followed by the Spinach Stromboli at $10.50. The Hawaiian Stromboli with cheese, pineapple, ham and sauce is $12.00.
The Grilled Chicken Calzone is $11.60. The Steak Calzone uses strips of top round sauteed with onions and costs $15.15. The Meat Lover’s Calzone with pepperoni, sausage, ham and hamburger is $15.65.
The menu uses “stromboli” and “calzone” almost interchangeably, so don’t worry about the label. The real difference is the filling. Pick the spinach version if you want something meat-free.
Deli Sandwiches Named After Famous Faces
The six deli sandwiches are $9.25 each, served cold on crusty French bread with mozzarella. The menu describes them as “as big as the stars they re-named after.” Each comes with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, mayo and Italian dressing unless noted.
- The Dinero: thinly sliced roast beef with roasted red peppers.
- The Travolta: freshly sliced turkey breast with roasted peppers.
- The Stallone: baked ham, salami and pepperoni with roasted peppers.
- The Pesci: grilled Italian sausage with roasted red peppers, onions and marinara. This is the only hot one in the group.
- The Sinatra: homemade meatballs baked in sauce with parmesan and melted mozzarella.
- The TJ: sauteed steak, pepperoni and mushrooms with lettuce and mayo on a large Italian roll.
Because most of these are served cold, they hold up well on a pickup drive home. For a hot sandwich, go with the Pesci, the Sinatra or the TJ.
Regular Subs, Bombers and Wraps
Regular subs come with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, melted cheese and mayo. Most cost $6.50, and the range is $6.50 to $7.50.
- Cold subs: Tuna, BLT, Veggie, Baked Ham, Turkey, Assorted, Italian Assorted, Club, Roast Beef ($6.75) and Pastrami ($6.75). The Club with ham, turkey and bacon is $6.80.
- Hot subs: Steak & Cheese ($7.00), Meatball, Italian Sausage, Chicken Parmesan, Eggplant Parmesan ($7.00) and Buffalo Chicken ($7.50).
The restaurant’s own menu page lists small and large sizes. Large subs there cost roughly $2 to $2.50 more than small.
Bombers are $7.25 each in steak, sausage, turkey or grilled chicken. Each comes with peppers, mushrooms, onions, extra cheese and hot sauce. The hot sauce is part of the description, so ask if you want it left off.
Wraps are $5.50 for ham, turkey, steak or chicken, all with the house signature sauce. The Buffalo Chicken Wrap is $7.00. At $5.50 the wraps are the cheapest full meal on the menu.
Pasta Dinners and House Favorites
Pasta dinners are the value play on the Mona Lisa’s menu. Every pasta dish lists a tossed salad, and the house favorites also list garlic bread.
| Dish | Description | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Spaghetti with Meatballs or Sausage | Thin spaghetti with homemade marinara | $13.50 |
| Manicotti | Ricotta-stuffed pasta baked in red sauce | $13.50 |
| Stuffed Shells | Large shells with spiced ricotta, baked in sauce | $13.50 |
| Cheese Ravioli with Meatballs or Sausage | Seasoned ricotta ravioli | $13.50 |
| Ziti with Meatballs or Sausage | Ziti in red sauce | $13.50 |
| Lasagna | Seasoned ground beef, three cheeses, lots of sauce | $14.50 |
| Baked Ziti | Pasta baked with cheese and marinara | $14.50 |
| Gnocchi | Potato-dough pasta with marinara | $14.25 |
| Linguine with Red or White Clam Sauce | Linguine in clam sauce | $15.00 |
The gnocchi is credited on the menu to “Grandpa Polazzi.” That family detail suggests a recipe with some history, and a house-made item is often worth ordering first.
The house favorites are plated dinners:
- Italian Feast ($14.25): one stuffed shell, one manicotti, spaghetti and a meatball on one plate. It’s the pick for anyone who can’t choose.
- Chicken Parmesan ($14.50): served with a side of thin spaghetti.
- Eggplant Parmesan ($14.50): breaded eggplant with plenty of cheese.
- Chicken Cacciatore ($14.50): baked chicken breast with sauteed peppers, mushrooms and onions.
- Alfredo ($15.00): linguine in a homemade creamy parmesan sauce.
- Shrimp Alfredo ($19.45): the most expensive dinner on the ordering page.
Appetizers and Sides
The appetizer list is mostly fried, and several items cost about the same, so pick by craving. Listed prices:
- French Fries: $3.25. The restaurant’s own site calls fries the item it’s known for.
- Onion Rings: $5.45.
- Cheesy Fries: $6.05.
- Fried Pickle: $6.24.
- Fried Mozzarella Cheesesticks: $6.50.
- Fried Mushrooms, Fried Ravioli and Garlic Knots: $6.75 each.
- Jalapeno Poppers: $7.45.
- Cheesy Breadsticks (with marinara): $7.49.
- Calamari: $10.00.
- Shrimp: $12.95.
- Pizza Crusties (pepperoni, sausage or mixed): $12.99.
The Appetizers Sampler at $10.00 includes two chicken fingers, three mozzarella sticks, five fried mushrooms, three jalapeno poppers and onion rings. Buying those items separately would cost more, so the sampler is the smarter order for two or three people.
Salads
Salads start at $4.50 for the Tossed Salad and top out at $10.00 for the Antipasto. The Antipasto is the only one that works as a full meal, with ham, cheese, salami, tomatoes, olives, tuna, onions, pepperoni, mushrooms and house vinaigrette.
The rest are lighter and cheaper:
- Chef’s Salad: lettuce, tomatoes, onions and black olives with rolls, ham, turkey and mozzarella, $5.50.
- Roper Salad: tossed salad with salami and mozzarella, $5.50.
- Garden Salad: lettuce, tomatoes, green peppers, mushrooms, onions, olives and hot peppers, $6.00.
- Grilled Chicken Salad: $6.00.
- Caesar Salad: $6.00.
- Greek Salad: lettuce, tomatoes, onions, black olives and feta, $6.50.
Wings, Burger, Kids Menu and Desserts
Buffalo Wings are listed at $12.99 on the ordering page, and the restaurant’s own page shows bigger counts. The Cheddar Burger with fries is an Angus burger with mayo, lettuce, tomato and onions for $7.75.
The Kids Menu is $5.99 per meal, and each includes a soft drink. Options are a one-topping pizza slice, two chicken tenders with fries, four breaded mozzarella sticks, cheese ravioli with a meatball, grilled cheese with fries, and spaghetti, ziti Alfredo or linguini butter noodles, each with a meatball.
Desserts are cheesecake, chocolate decadence, carrot cake and cannoli at $3.75 each. The cannoli is made fresh to order. The Mona Lisa Italian Fried Dough is $5.00. A soda is $3.50.
Best Picks by Craving
- Family pizza night: the two-cheese-pizza bundle at $16.50, or a large White Artichoke if the group likes artichokes.
- Big appetite: the Italian Feast at $14.25, or the Meat Lover’s pizza.
- Cheapest full meal: a wrap at $5.50 or a sub from $6.50.
- Classic comfort: Chicken Parmesan or Lasagna, both with salad.
- Cold sandwich to go: any $9.25 deli sandwich.
- Something different: the BLT pizza or the Agnello.
- Sharing: the Appetizers Sampler at $10.00.
Vegetarian and Lighter Options
Going by the written descriptions, the meat-free choices include the cheese, Bianca, Spinach, Veggie, White Spinach, White Artichoke and Tomato pizzas. Stuffed shells, manicotti, baked ziti, eggplant parmesan, Alfredo and gnocchi also read as meat-free. The Veggie sub and several salads fit too.
We can’t see how the kitchen prepares each sauce, so confirm with staff. The pages we checked don’t show an allergen chart, a gluten-free section or a vegan section. Anyone with an allergy should ask before ordering. For a lighter meal, the Greek Salad ($6.50) and Grilled Chicken Salad ($6.00) are the obvious choices.
Money-Saving Tips
- Order the two-cheese-pizza bundle instead of two separate large pies.
- Choose a pasta dinner or house favorite, since the salad (and garlic bread on house favorites) is included.
- Use the Appetizers Sampler instead of buying fried items one by one.
- Get a $2.90 slice for a quick solo lunch.
- When we checked, the ordering page displayed a 20% off online orders banner. Promotions change, so read the terms at checkout.
Add-ons are cheap: extra dressing is $0.50 and extra vegetables are $0.81.
How We Verified This Menu
We checked this guide in September 2026 against two sources: the restaurant’s own food menu page and its online ordering page. The two pages don’t always match. The ordering page is the newer one, and some items there cost a little more. This article uses the ordering page for prices and the restaurant’s page for size options.
Prices vary by location, franchise and season. Confirm at your nearest store or the official app. Mona Lisa’s is an independent restaurant, so check the Norfolk restaurant directly by phone or through its ordering page.
We didn’t find calorie or nutrition figures on either page, so this guide doesn’t list any.

What is the healthiest meal to order at an Italian restaurant?
Grilled fish or chicken with steamed vegetables is often one of the healthiest choices at an Italian restaurant. You can also choose a house salad with dressing on the side or pasta with tomato sauce and vegetables. For a balanced meal, limit heavy cream sauces, excess cheese, fried appetizers, and oversized portions.
What is a Mona Lisa sandwich?
A Mona Lisa sandwich is not one universally standardized sandwich; its ingredients depend on the restaurant or deli serving it. It may feature Italian-style ingredients such as salami, ham, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and Italian dressing on fresh bread. If you mean a signature sandwich from a specific Mona Lisa restaurant, check its menu because the exact ingredients may differ.
Conclusion
The Mona Lisa’s restaurant menu rewards people who look past the basic pizza. The white pizzas, the Italian Feast and the salad-included pasta dinners give the best return for the money. Start with the White Artichoke pizza or the Italian Feast on your first visit. Call ahead for pickup and current hours.
