Got a take out pizza and salad. The host was very upfront when I asked about the picante saying it is a good pizza but not one that’s ordered a lot. I figured I’d give it a shot and am thrilled I did. The picante pizza has amazing flavor with a subtle heat very tasty. The crust is light weight and thin with a little crunch. I’d definitely order again.
I met a couple in the Dallas airport on my way to Isle of Palm. The couple lives in Charleston. I told them where I was heading, and they suggested La Pizzeria. They said it was.on the way and that I would enjoy the food. So... we did stop there for dinner. Thank you, Alex and Terri... we definitely enjoyed the food. We would not have known about this restaurant, and I had not started talking to complete strangers. We had a salad, veggie pizza, bottle of wine, and cheesecake!!! Restaurant was clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious!!!
Friendly, attentive, nice atmosphere. Calzone reminded me of the ones I used to get as a kid in Connecticut, delicious 10/10. The limoncello mascarpone was pretty good as well 7/10.
We celebrated a friends birthday here. Most of us had the lasagna and the birthday girl had the chicken Parmesan. We added garlic knots after seeing the tiny dish of thin bread slices brought out. The knots are deep fried dough. The oil may have been rancid due to the flavor these had. We had the large Caesar salad which was enough for two to share prior to sharing lasagna. We had a few desserts to top off the night. Both were amazing
We had Spaghetti and meatballs...it was delicious!! Only complaint is wish there was more..lol The meatballs were to die for!! We also had the Carne Pizza it was hot and fresh ...Our waiter Tim did a fantastic job. The atmosphere was very nice quaint. Was on vacation but we are ever back we will stop again
First time trying La Pizzeria last night--impressed is an understatement! While we only got takeout, the atmosphere in this restaurant really encapsulated a true Italian pizzeria. It almost feels like you're in Italy! Eddie was super helpful, welcoming, and kind. He even offered us a slice of cake, not knowing we were celebrating a birthday! We will definitely be back soon, hopefully to dine in.
