Tik Tok to the rescue. I saw a post about this family restaurant on my feed because a friend reposted it, so I thought I would give it a try. I love to support local businesses and when it comes to pizza, chain restaurants pale in comparison to neighborhood establishments. So, here's my take on Pizza La Italiana.
It's a cute place with charm, but parking can be challenging. I ordered online and the process was very easy and quick. Prices were reasonable but on the higher side of reasonable. My order was ready before the estimated time and I like when restaurants underpromise and overdeliver. Their ordering system had a glitch. I ordered pepperoni but got cheese. They were very apologetic and said they would correct it the next time I was in.
The salad, wings, and cheese bread were good. I wouldn't say they stood out over any other pizzeria, but they were good. The pizza was good as well. There was more cheese than sauce, which some people may like, but I would have liked more of the sauce, which was delicious. The pizza needed more flavor, so if it had more sauce and the pepperoni it may have been much better. Depending on your preference for the crust, it was more bready than crunchy or chewy. Again, everybody is different.
It's hard to rate a restaurant on one visit with limited items, but I would give it a solid 3.5 based solely on this one experience. A correct order, with pepperoni and more sauce, might bump it up to a 4. I really did like the croutons, so I am going to give it a 4 in hopes that others will check it out and give them a chance.
