There is everything to love about La Pizzeria. Upon walking into to the restaurant, you would not know it was situated in a shopping plaza. The inside is what you imagine a quaint Italian restaurant in the middle of Naples would be like.
We started the meal with a bang by ordering and splitting a Bruschetta dish on the daily special menu. The toast was topped with chopped tomatoes, small, cubed pieces of mozzarella cheese, fresh basil and a beautifully spiral slice of Prosciutto. Almost like a souped-up slice of a margarita pizza but served on crispy toasted bread.
I love the fact that you can order single slice of pizza. You can still have pizza while ordering other dishes, and each person can order the slice they want. OK, so we both wanted, ordered and enjoyed a slice of margarita pizza. The slice is large, served piping hot, on a thin, very crispy crust, Love the crust
The wife ordered and absolutely loved a pasta dish that was also on the daily special menu. This dish consisted of Freshly made, velvety smooth Fettuccine, with Sautéed clams (sill in the shell) in a white wine sauce
I ordered a past dish with meatballs, then to meatballs. in tomato sauce, than I topped off by ordering and adding a side of meatballs. Just a fantastic dish
Now to the dessert. The very first thing you see upon entering the restaurant is a large (tall) round display of incredible looking dessert. Once you looked at these plates it isn't likely you will pass when it is time for the sweet course. Although we were both stuffed, we had to try the Tiramisu. This Tiramisu isn't anything like we ever seen or tasted. A nice square piece that sits tall on the plate. The cake was bursting with flavor, with an orange taste that hits you in the face, (in a good way), which we are guessing came from an orange liqueur.
The Tiramisu was so fantastic that we had to order another dessert dish even though we were more stuffed than before. This time we went with profiterole dish that had 2 pastries, one covered and chocolate, the other covered in a white vanilla cream. While not as good as the Tiramisu, this was still a very solid dish
Over all an outstanding meal, and one of our new favorite restaurants
