Let's have lunch [with] just the two of us

It'd be a waste to let the food get cold after all, so let's get to it without further ado and have lunch with just the two of us.

I think "would you have lunch with me" and "can I have lunch with you" is reasonable, without the subject in "with" phrase.

But "let's have lunch with just the two of us." doesn't sound to me reasonable.

I think it should have been "let's have lunch just the two of us" without "with."

I was wondering if I have a right idea.
