BEST PIZZA IN THE LAKE RIDGE, RIDGEFIELD, DALE CITY AREA! WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS!
For years I have been looking for a non-large chain pizza place. I was looking for the traditional pizzeria, with good quality pizza, subs and salad, as well as first class service. After trying every pizzeria in the area, I was about to give up on my search when I found "La Porchetta Kitchen."
Like in all my reviews I like to talk about service and food quality separately.
SERVICE. I have been at La Porchetta as least 1/2 dozen times in the past month. The service has been consistently EXCELLENT. This is a small pizzeria, and they offer, dinning-in, carry-out, and delivery through a third party. The dining area is a work in progress, since due to getting permits from the County and the Fire Marshall they are behind schedule preparing the place. Still is one of cleanest places I have been.
Food. OUTSTANDING! Like I said, best pizza in the area. I have tried their subs, specialty pizza, as well as the traditional NY Style Pizza. I had the "Steak, Ham & Cheese" and it was awesome. I had never tried adding ham to a steak and cheese, but I was pleasantly surprised with the flavor. Another surprise was the way the sub was put together, the lettuce and tomatoes were put in the bottom of the sub followed by the meats. The bread was incredible, and it was big enough to hold all the "stuff." I have attached a photo.
The Pizza. Of course, the star of the show. The first pizza I ordered, on my first visit, was a Supreme specialty pizza. The best way to describe is as an addictive orgy of flavors that makes you feel you are paradise. The combination of pepperoni, sausage, and red onions give it enough of a kick to keep you wanting more. Add the fresh mushrooms and the green peppers and you are eating what I consider an award winning pizza.
They also have in their menu NY Style Pizza. Yes, it tasted like REAL NY Style Pizza. I order a plain cheese NY Style pizza, and although it was an X-Large, it was so good I couldn't stop eating. Yes, Me, Myself, and I ate the "whole thing." Yes, I would like to hear from New Yorkers who try the NY Style Pizza. Is this a real NY Style pizza.
One final note. When you order carry out, they include grated parmesan cheese, and crushed Red Peppers packets. Nice touch.
