Pizzeria La Sorrentina

Pizza was great. Light dough, sauce was good. The calamari was amazing, must try. I think it was fried well with good seasoning, but may be salty for some. Wish we can customize the pizza. Th3 pasta was also good.

An undiscovered gem to me. A wonderful pizza restaurant. Run by a true soccer fan, peppered by Diego Maradona mobilia. We started with a Burrata E Bruschetta, delicious, fresh and colourful. My companion enjoyed the crisp Caesar Salad. I ordered the Polpo. Thus was under “Salads” but it was rather an octopus and white bean stew. Incredibly delicious! We finished shed ( and took home extra ) the Mo ster Prosciutto pizza. A thin-crust Italian style pizza. Perfect balance of all the right ingredients. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone, dining in, or to-go.

Chef Daisuke Matsumoto is a master at his craft! I don't think I've ever had a pizza THAT GOOD before!! Even my pizza connoisseur son said it was "the Chef's kiss!" I couldn't get over how soft the crust was. I went with the mushroom special, but will be planning to try the Margherita pizza and their homemade pasta in the future. My son also bogarted the delicious cheesecake. At least he left me a few bites of crumbs. Lol Very nice service, a clean restroom, and clean restaurant. The staff were all working hard and being so efficient with a full house on a weekday at lunch! You can tell they put a lot of love and passion into their work at Pizzeria La Sorrentina and the only thing I regret is not coming here sooner!

We loved La Sorrentina and we will definitely be back! The pizzas and calazone were great! Perfection. Be careful when you read through the reviews. Seems that most of the negative reviews are because people don't understand that the pies are Neapolitan style. Absolutely delicious. I will say that $11 for a glass of house wine is a bit steep but hey, if people are paying, what are you gonna do? In Italy you can get a carafe of house wine which will serve 2 people 2 glasses each with some left over for between 6 to 9 dollars. I only say this because a bottle of good wine at an Italian Ristorante will cost you roughly between 25 to 50 dollars which is fairly comparable to here in the USA. The house wine is served at a lower cost because, well, it's a house wine! Other than that little rant, lol, try this place out. Yum!!!

Excellent place that also has a lot of passion for their craft. I normally prefer light sauce on my pizza, but this place made me realize how well sauce complements the Neopolitan style. They seasonally rotate the menu because the owner wants people to try different foods from the Naples region of Italy, which is quite cool. Not many places do that since “menu rotation” -> “less chance of making money.” I also really liked their ravioli and their lemon-style tiramisu (another original dish by the owner). Highly recommend it, nice to eat at a place that pours their heart out into their food. I would also like to give a shoutout to Mike for being a good and energetic waiter.

After years of this being one of my favorite pizza establishments, the recent changes to the menu have determined that tonight was my last order here. Back when it was a lunch truck, it was worth a drive clear across town. When they opened up this actual shop nearby, I was thrilled. There were several pizzas on the menu that I loved (chief among them the Spicy Little Number). Apparently in the time since I was there last, they found a magical map that took them on a journey straight up their own backsides. A full page of description about how authentic they feel they are, and a strong admonition against making substitutions. Meanwhile, they rewrote the menu such that it seems 3/4 of it contains pork (to which i have an allergy), and the rest is bland, flavorless slop. But it can't be changed. Because their "pizza expert" balanced them "perfectly," just so long as your taste is exactly the same as theirs and you love the taste of pig grease. They'll be pleased to know I had to dip my Primaverata into hot sauce just to make it taste like anything more than salty arugula, and had to roll it into a tube to keep the slop together. Anybody who can't make food with substitutions is a hack and a failure.

Wow I actually can’t believe I haven’t ever reviewed this place. This is the BEST gluten free pizza I have ever had anywhere in my life, and I have traveled to 20+ countries eating gluten free. They deserve my 5 star review and I beg them to never ever change or get rid of their gluten free crust!!! Nothing compares!

After a long day of errands, we were looking forward to quiet evening at home with pizza and beer. Being new to the area, we searched on for a local good pizza place and found ourselves at La Sorrentina. We arrived at 7:15 pm and concerned we may not have time to order food to go as they were closing at 8 pm Sunday. The hostess informed us that unfortunately, they were out of regular pizza dough and that they only had gluten-free dough left. We decided to try their margherita and salsccia e funghi pizzas. Surprisingly, they were delicious!! We thoroughly enjoyed and would definitely order them again. The restaurant has plenty of indoor seating and parking should not be an issue. Staff was friendly and efficient.

Top notch. We are thrilled to have this gem in Vancouver. Fantastic food & impeccable service. Great open kitchen floor plan. authentic preparation & beautiful pizza oven. Well done Chef!

Just a warning I am a pizza snob. Therefore I have higher standards for my pizzas haha. However these pizzas were good! The dough I loved, only negative is that it couldn't hold up the toppings. If you were to eat the slice using your hands it was floppy. The mozzarella cheese you could tell wasn't great quality. But the meats were amazing. Overall great pizza in Vancouver. Would I come here again? Yes, if I didn't want to drive to Portland for better pizza. The service was good, they were busy and seemed to manage well. Also the cannoli was fantastic! Would rate that 8.5/10!

Have been to this restaurant several times. The food is always good. The service, however, gets worse every time we visit. Last experience with our server Nicole, will be our last time eating at this restaurant.

They have really improved their service here. We love this place. Highly recommend the friendly staff An the attention to detail.

Authentic Italian restaurant! We just spent 2 weeks in Italy and we loved the pizza. Coming back to the US was rough for us when we were spoiled with Italian cuisine. This is an authentic restaurant with a family vibe and atmosphere. We had really great service and was well taken care of. My gf got the traditional Margherita pizza and I got the bolognese lasagna. They had a chef from Italy working on seasonal items and is only there for a month or two. I got the almond white chocolate cake and it was just okay. I could have done without. Definitely will make our way back there. Also - if you are looking and are more into American type of pizzas. Come to this place with an open mind and try authentic Italian pizza. It's going to be very different than your traditional American pizza. But don't throw a fit because it doesn't taste like American pizza. We love trying local authentic restaurants and this satisfied our cravings!

Pricey but tasty-the food was good and the atmosphere was pleasant. It was pretty spendy, and while we enjoyed our meal, we haven't had the inclination to go back.

Best pizza in Vancouver! Best Italian in Vancouver! We had the Margherita DOC and the prosciutto e rucola. Both were freaking exceptional. I'm not just talking tasty. I gasped. Chewy. Sweet. Cheesy. Smoky. This is pizza made by people that worship pizza. This is getting bookmarked as my new go to spot. Thank you Pizza Gods!

Fantastic Pizza. The service is kind and excellent. The crust is so thin and delicious it deserves to be eaten in house. The restaurant is a lovely place to be. However, if you have to take it home be prepared to become addicted to Italian style pizza.

The Wife had been meaning to hit this place for a few months after co-workers of hers raved about it. But, sometimes life gets in the way, and it takes a while to circle back. The Wife's recent knee injury was one of them, so she made her first visit on crutches. With that in mind we were thankful for handicapped parking close to the front door. The staff made sure we were comfortable while we waited about 20 minutes for a table. Sidenote: The take reservations. We scanned the menu, which was full of wonderful sounding dishes and pizza combinations. I am a sucker for a calzone and this one sounded like not your usual pizza pocket. The Wife eyed the pesto pasta with prawns, and we decided to start with some focaccia with oil and balsamic. I want to focus on the focaccia for a moment. If heaven was represented as a pillowy soft baked treat, that would be it. Baked, oiled, seasoned and cut into perfect little triangles. The olive oil and balsamic was top shelf stuff. The Wife's pesto dish was amazing, little pesto infused pasta sprinkled with pistachio nuts and a health number of prawns cooked perfectly. I am ordering this next time. The calzone was large, and as advertised in the menu it was nicely stuffed with meats and a creamy ricotta cheese that I'd never experienced before. Fresh basil on top, that same pillowy soft dough, perfect amount of tomato inside. I could go for paragraphs about it. I will spare you. The staff was friendly and quite adept at explaining about each dish. The prices were very good for the food, and The Wife claims the house wine was perfect. Not only are we coming back, but we are also bringing friends!

This review is for CARRY OUT. Called and ordered pizza and tiramisu and was told to come in 30 minutes and it would be ready. This place has a great pizza oven powered by WOOD (not gas) and I couldn't wait to try their pizza! They had Italian pop music playing inside and I loved the vibe. Pizza is Neapolitan style and it smelled great. I got the "Honey Formaggi" pizza and it had mozzarella, ricotta, Gorgonzola, and Parmesan cheeses. A touch of basil, walnuts, and a little bit of honey drizzled on for added flavor. I thought it was MISSING balsamic vinegar drizzle. The pizza had A LOT of crust and being at a hotel I didn't have balsamic vinegar to dip my crust in either. Would have been 5 stars with that! The tiramisu was good but portion size was small and I had better tiramisu at nearby Bistro 23 (they were closed today). Still a good meal and worth repeating!

Really tasty pizza, salad, and cannoli. The salad was really intetesting with apple, artichoke, and green olives. The pizza had real buffalo mozzarella. Friendly service and a nice looking restaurant. It was very busy! Having a visible kitchen really adds to the ambiance with the beautiful pizza oven.

Gluten free friends, this is the best pizza you will ever eat. My husband even eats it because he can't tell the difference and I like all their pizzas so we share.

This is the best we've had since moving to the Portland area fourteen years ago. So good in fact that we ended up buying a pizza oven and learned to make Neapolitan style pizza ourselves (because we were going broke eating here way too often). And even though we've finally gotten the knack of it, we still come here when we don't feel like waiting for 48 hours until we can make some (seriously it take some work and skill to make this kind of crust). The restaurant itself has a nice relaxed vibe and the servers are always so affable and attentive. It's truly my favorite restaurant!

We moved here over two years ago and venture out as often as we can with three little kids. We happen to come here after our oldest had their first day of kindergarten. We were pleasantly surprised with both the service and the food. We felt welcomed and cared for. Our server was involved, but not annoying. The food recommended was excellent and we were able to enjoy the sunshine and food on their huge patio. The pizza was so good we took one to go! We will 100% be back!

Great service and nice atmosphere , but pizza was pretty soggy for us. Could have used a few more minutes for a less doughy taste. Also would have loved to have a few more pieces of basil on it as you can see only one leaf was added. Otherwise I would still want to try out their other pizzas.

Love the pizza here, but a bit of a fail this evening. Both pizza's I ordered to go were a bit underdone. The crust had no crisp. It was soft and chewy like undercooked bread dough. One time lapse will not stop me from coming. Take your time. I'll wait for the perfect crust.

Came on a Thursday night and received great service. Ordered pizza and a coke (came in a bottle with a glass of ice on the side). I thought the dough was great that i purchased one myself! Great value as well

Amy and Daisuke Matsumoto ran Pizzeria Las Sorrentina out of a trailer in NW Vancouver, but decided it was time to expand across town to the southwest part of town and am I glad they did! The pizzeria is in a large space with a big dining room, huge kitchen, and massive patio out back on 164th (that will be open soon). The space is attractive and they have a nice selection of appetizers (antipasti), salads (insalate), pizzas (pizze), pastas (tipi di pasta), and desserts (dolci). We were warmly greeted by a young lady and seated by the exit to the patio. I decided on the Pizza Diavola ($18 - in the devil's way) and my son got the Gnocchi alla Sorrentina ($15), looking more like a starter portion than an entree. He was already done with his gnocchi by the time my pizza finally arrived, All of the pizzas are Neapolitan size, bigger than most individual 'wood-fired' pizzas you get in the US, and look just like the hundreds I have eaten in Napoli (Naples - I was stationed there for 3 years). I consider myself a bit of an aficionado when it comes to pizza Napoletana, having been trained as a chef (in my spare time) during my three years living there and having attended Vera Pizza Napoletana (true Neapolitan pizza) training in 2019. Therefore, I am a certified pizzaiuolo in my own right. Pizza diavola is one of my favorites, along with pizza con salsiccia e friarielli (sausage and sautéed broccoli rabe, a Neapolitan specialty). Diavola (the devil's way) refers to the olio piccante (EVO mixed with hot peppers and left to soak for months) sprinkled liberally over a Margherita pizza topped with sliced salami. Daisuke's diavola comes with 'mama lil' peppers'. The pizzas are moderately priced by West Coast standards, so I will not ding them there, but - FYI - a top-notch pizza diavola in Naples goes for around $5.50 and a Margherita is just $4.50 most places, a little less than one-third of La Sorrentina's pies. I am looking forward to returning to try new and different things, and I hope that Daisuke and Amy continue their huge success. CombatCritic Gives Pizzeria La Sorrentina 7 Bombs Out Of 10 ... More Bombs Are Better!

We recently moved to the area and decided to try an Italian restaurant for my fiancé's birthday celebration. Unfortunately, our experience was far from pleasant. Upon arrival, we were struck by how unbearably hot it was inside the restaurant, which was uncomfortable given the 90-degree weather outside. They served us warm water, and I had to specifically request ice--something you'd expect to be a given on such a hot day. Our waitress was particularly unpleasant. Although it was hot, it's no excuse for her rude demeanor. I had a few questions about the menu. Instead of being helpful, she seemed irritated and condescending. I eventually waited for another waitress to pass by to get some assistance. This other waitress, with dark brown hair in a bun, was very helpful and pleasant, guiding us through the menu and helping us choose an entrée. When my pasta arrived, it was extremely undercooked--something I've never encountered before. When I pointed this out to our waitress, she dismissively said, "It's al dente. You don't want it?" My fiancé tasted it and agreed that it was unacceptable. Her attitude and the poor quality of the food were disappointing. By the end of the meal, I was feeling quite unwell due to the heat. Our waitress, whom I didn't get the name of but can describe as older with lighter brown hair and freckles, left a lasting negative impression. If we ever decide to give this place another chance, we'd leave immediately if we saw that same waitress. Moreover, we'd avoid visiting during the summer. Paying for such a poor experience and being treated rudely is unacceptable.

Amazing food! Authentic food! NOT fast food. Everything is handmade in house. Don't expect fast food, expect delicious food. Don't expect fancy wine glasses, expect great wine. Wonderful, warm and friendly staff.

Gluten free review: Alright, folks, it's time for me to tell you about the gluten-free pizza of your dreams (12" of saucy and cheesy all to yourself). Gluten-free pizza that's actually soft and fluffy? Yes, it exists, and it's a dream come true! Don't believe me? Just wait until you try it. The ingredients are authentic and fresh, and the taste is amazing. My family and I kept asking if it was actually gluten-free, because we couldn't believe how good it was. And let me tell you, we've had our fair share of cardboard-like gluten-free pizza crusts. This pizza, however, is delicious. Just a warning for celiacs, the flour contains wheat starch. So, if you're gluten sensitive and looking for some delicious pizza without the pesky gluten, or if you're just a pizza lover in general, do yourself a favor and head on over to this place. You won't regret it. And to the folks at the pizza joint, keep doing what you're doing! You've got a gluten-free pizza and great service that's worth writing home about. Or in this case, worth writing a Yelp review about. Thanks for the kindness and the great pizza! Everyone else, pop your fat pants on and go get some!

Not your standard pizza! Wood fired and unusually flavor combinations. Well worth checking out!

Service to get us seated was quick but service went downhill from there. Everything we ate was AMAZING. I loved the crust. My son's pizza was slightly burnt (see pic) but still edible. My husband got the calzone, not pictured, and I'd get that next time. I saw someone order the Nutella calzone and that looked amazing. Service was slacking when it came to filling our waters and bringing our drinks. We ordered a sparkling water and had to ask for them to bring it, I think they forgot. I had to ask twice to fill water. It did get busy but not so busy they couldn't refill water. Tip to business:*** Offer each table those glass vases filled with water so customers can refill themselves and take a task off staff. We were surprised to find this pizza gem in the strip-mall and we liked the open view of the kitchen. We'll be back.

After two good meals here, tonight's visit was disappointing. Food, service and timing were all off. The focaccia we ordered was delivered to and eaten by the group next to us. My wife's food arrived first while the server told us that she had put a rush on my calzone (with no apology or explanation for the delay). Will be difficult to recommend to friends or family and a return visit is not likely.

Really good authentic Italian pizza. I enjoyed the ambiance and will defiantly return.

I've been a resident of Clark County for almost 15 years and have frequented many restaurants in Vancouver and Portland. In my opinion, La Sorrentina is the best in Clark County as well as many Italian restaurants in Portland. All the pasta dishes are unique but made with either imported or homemade pasta. There is a large selection of pizzas with no substitutions. For the price, you can't beat it. This is definitely a "go to" restaurant for me.

Love their pizzas. Tasty dishes and Authentic carbonara. Staff has always provided Great service.

UPDATED Review(9/31): somehow reviewing the service we received is now a "liturgy war?" Is there a reason religion is being brought up in a response to a review on food service (when there has been no mention of it before)!?! Astounded at this business' reply. Ridiculous! Somewhere we will NEVER recommend to anyone in the future. 9/30: Pizza was good . We ordered our pizza before 3 other tables, but we received our 1 pizza about 10 minutes after all the other tables were served. Only 3 stars because we were forgotten.

Excellent Clam Appetizer,Specialty Pizza and Ceasar Salad Comfy atmosphere and friendly service. Will ŕeturn for bajed goods.

The food is good, but the waitress attitude ruins my appetite and everything. She asks me to read the menu and impatient to answer the question. What's a good service

Just came back from Italy and so glad to have found this hidden Napoli pizza gem to get our fix - all pies for the table had phenomenal bite, crunch, and airiness to the crust - bravo! Diavola (4/5): the middle of the pie was a little too wet/soggy but overall the flavors were really delicious. To add more texture to the pizza, we added some house salad on top :) Prosciutto & arugula (5/5): better balance of flavors and textures than the Diavola. Felt lighter in both flavor profile and in-stomach. Definitely getting this again next time we're back The wine we selected was good and went well with the pies Grazie mille e salute, La Sorrentina!

Everything was excellent! Service outstanding and everything amazing. Pizza soft and thin crust. Ceasar was excellent. Croutons made from leftover pizza dough. Watched them slice the prosciutto on the beautiful red slicer. Drool.... ordered the calzone to end the meal.. perfecto. Protip: Happy hour 2-5 pm..

La Sorrentina is our family's favorite restaurant. The food is authentic and tasty. The service is top notch. It's tucked away off 164th in Vancouver with a little patio with outdoor seating. The cannolis!!! The BEST!!

If I could give zero stars I absolutely would. First let me start by saying we eat out a LOT. I've been waiting to try this place for awhile since I came across it on yelp. The server Nicole was rude. I asked to add mushrooms to my sausage and onion pizza and got a lecture, adding that beginning March 1st we cannot add anything to an order. My husbands food came out cold and he was not sure if it was his order because the man who delivered it said genovese a couple times but my husband wasn't sure if it was his since the ragu we have had at other places had been much different. He dropped it off but our other food wasn't there. My pizza arrived with onion and mushrooms but no sausage. The calzone was fine. We asked for boxes. I didn't plan on taking the pizza because it really wasn't what I wanted. When I was paying I mentioned that the pizza was incorrect. She said it wasn't. I said it was missing sausage. She replied she would take it off the bill which I did not ask her to do. When I said I didn't need a box she looks at me and says " None of this is necessary" I paid and still left a tip. We never send food back. Ever. We just pay and move on but honestly I don't see how adding mushrooms to a pizza or being confused over an order warranted any of that and I 100% gave the attitude back that I got. We will keep frequenting places like La Bottega, Galeotti's and La Uva Fortuna where they actually act like they would like you to dine there again. The shining star of the evening was the young man who seated us who was very friendly and sweet.

First time here, we were curious to try this type of crust. Unfortunately for me, there wasn't anything special about the flavor, toppings or crust. Which btw was kinda burnt. And the price seems high for what you get.

The pizza is really good. The red sauce is very refreshing and not overpowering. The service is quick and there are a lot of options.

This is my third time there. First time there, it took over 45 mins to make my pasta and when it came out, the pasta was undercooked. I needed to send it back. Anyways, in the end the food was great. The second time I went there, I ordered the same thing. This time they made it perfect and it took around 15mins to deliver it. The third time I went there and ordered a pizza. I love their sauce and dough. I will definitely be back.

Gluten free pizza was amazing. Hard to believe it was gluten free. Definitely a new favorite!

Love the atmosphere and service was great. The pizza was alright.. it was watery and not much flavor. We just got back from Italy and needed a fix, this was not it. The seafood pasta was amazing, and the cannoli's were pretty good, the filling was a little grainy but had good flavor.

Amazing food for good prices, best wood fired pizza in the area we have tried. Awesome bruschetta as well. Great service and large space for bigger groups. Clean and nice outdoor area!

My husband and I have been on a wood-fired pizza journey in Vancouver, Washington. La Sorrentina's neapolitan-style pizza tasted soooo delicious!! We'll be back to try their Italian sausage pizza. LOVED their Margherita pizza and pepperoni pizza.

Sadly i was a naive person and read the poor reviews and still decided to give the benefit of the doubt... My boyfriend and I came here on a Saturday night at 8pm, waited for about 15 minutes to be sat at a TINY table crammed near a few other tables (when i tell you tiny i mean we got an appetizer 2 drinks and it took up the whole table) so we're sat at this small table and our waitress greets us after a couple minutes and we order two drinks from the bar, an aperol spritz and a peach bellini, we get the drinks and the spritz is very bitter, understanding it's a bitter drink typically, we excuse it thinking maybe it's that bitter because it's to be paired with our meal... well we order the calamari she drops off plates and the person next to us gets up to leave and knocks our plates around and knocks our silverware/knives around, this startled us and our table mate apologized and left... that's literally how close we are to the next table. for 18$ you get 7 tiny rings of calamari 2 shrimp and some fried carrots. at this point i'm kinda feeling ripped off because the food had literally no seasoning and the portion was laughable. few red flags at this point 25-30 min pass, we started feeling a bit uncomfortable with the environment because all of the tables are in the middle of the room with no sense of privacy , and there is no sign of our food. By this point i'm very unimpressed with the cost of everything plus the portions and quality of food. i'm trying to convince my bf to leave without our pizza but he insisted we atleast try the pizza. so we asked for it to go. when i got home 10 min later the pizza was soaking wet on the bottom, the pizza was cut like an obtuse triangle, hard to hold in your hand and when you try to take a bite all of the toppings fall off. honestly just so so disappointing, we left a tip for the server but seriously i would never pay for an experience like that ever again. I don't think i've ever written a review for a place but after losing 100$ bucks on some less than mediocre food i need to warn others to stay away. it's genuinely not worth it. if it cost 40$ total it would have gotten 3.5stars

Yoooo! This place is a LEGITIMATELY ITALIAN WOODFIRED PIZZA SPOT! They have an open kitchen and a chef/owner who walks around greeting everyone. I can tell you that I haven't had great pizza since moving up to the PNW and this may have honestly been the best meal I've had since moving here! Let's get down to everything we ate: Caesar Salad 6/10: This is a standard Caesar. A bit overdressed, croutons a little over toasted/stale, and very cheap on the parm. Burrata & Prosciutto 8/10: I absolutely LOVE Burrata. Who doesn't?? This Burrata wasn't the creamiest but it was good nonetheless. It paired quite nicely with the balsamic, prosciutto, and arugula. My only gripe is the prosciutto could have been displayed nicer. The slices were weirdly just stacked on top of each other. Margherita DOC Red Pizza 5/10: I was expecting to LOVE this. Sadly, it just seemed like so much was missing! There wasn't enough cheese or basil and the tomato sauce just tasted like tomatoes. The crust, however, was OUT OF THIS WORLD. It was so light and chewy and bouncy and flavorful. It legit has more flavor than the tomato sauce! This is a crust you never leave behind. Prosciutto e Rucola White Pizza 8/10: my preference has and always will be white pizza. This one was light, savory, chewy, crispy, flavorful, overall delightful. Definitely the best thing of the night. Each perfectly constructed bite would consist of a crispy, chewy crust, peppery arugula, sweet pop of a cherry, and the salty string pull of prosciutto. It was bliss. The only thing that could have made this better was a drizzle of olive oil, or more if they already added some. Cannoli 2/10: This was just okaaay. Pastry tasted as though it was fried a few nights prior and left to sit till an unlucky patron decided to order one. Definitely not something I'd order again. Angioletti 9/10: This was phenomenal! Their super light and airy pizza dough is cut and deep fried into these crispy donut pillows, covered in cinnamon sugar, and then drizzled with Nutella and pistachio cream. The only reason this doesn't get the full 10/10 is that the sauce to donut ratio was way off. Only the top layer had Nutella while the bottom ones were left naked and vulnerable, waiting to be scavenged and smeared along the lining in search of any creaminess left behind. Order this, you will not be disappointed. Just bring your own Nutella if naked donuts make you mad. Overall, dinner at La Sorrentina was fantastic. Service was great, a bit over the top at times but nothing too cringe. Parking is plentiful so pick up some of your favorite people and be prepared to have some amazing pizza! Also, you should call ahead to make sure they're open. We dropped by on 2 separate occasions for dinner but found them closed earlier than their stated closing time!

La Sorrentina has been recommended to me by a few, and I finally got the chance to try out their pizza. I walked into an everyday "strip mall restaurant" kind of feeling place, and wasn't expecting too much. The service was a tad bit slow, but I credit it to them making every dish by order. We ordered the Gnocchi alla Sorrentina, Diavola and the Primaverata. My absolute favorite has to be the Diavola though -- perfectly spicy, salty, and supported by the lightly charred crust that passed my "crust test" (it droops!!). I'd definitely come back to try every single one of their pizzas soon.

What a surprise! La Sorrentina may not be as "hype" as other pizza locations in Portland (Ken's, Sizzle Pie, Life of Pie, etc), but their pizza is authentic and legit. We came on a weekday and they weren't too busy. Located in a strip mall, the atmosphere is casual and laid back. It's not the most intimate or cozy spot, but the food should be the star of the show. And it is. We ordered the Gnocchi alla Sorrentina, Diavola, and Primaverata. Everything was delicious! The gnocchi was soft and pillowy. The tomato sauce could've been a tad saltier though. The Diavola had mozzarella, salami, garlic, Calabrian peppers, red chili flakes, and grana. It was spicy and savory, which balanced well with the lighter Primaverata pizza. The Primaverata was so refreshing! Loaded with fresh burrata, smoked mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, pesto, arugula, and grana, it was spring on a pizza. Everything tasted extremely fresh and the crust was amazing. It had a "wood-fired char" and it was thin, chewy, and had the perfect tang. While the toppings are generous, the pizzas weren't oily or greasy and had great balance. Service was friendly and welcoming. Some customers were also chatting up with one another, a very family-friendly and homey vibe. A hidden gem in Vancouver, don't pass up La Sorrentina for some authentic wood-fired Italian pizzas!

What's not to love? From the pizzas to the pastas right on through to the cannoli. I have yet to try anything that disappoints. Only wish I'd tried it years ago after passing by countless times.

I tried La Sorrentina's food truck several years ago in the hot summer. Chef Daisuke was serving up the Italian flavors which he mastered in Italy. Great pizza. Stopped by to try the brick and mortar store and was amazed at the setup. A large wood fired pizza oven imported from Italy, amble seating and a warm interior. Service was top notch with attentive staff. We arrived near happy hour so ordered two pizzas and I had to try some pasta so I ordered the egg noodles and meatballs. The pizza arrived hot and bubbly, with crisp and chewy edges. The cheese was melted and gooey. Take note pizzerias this is how your make the sauce, rich and balanced San Marzano tomatoes topped with fresh basil. The egg noodles were nice and dense but chewy allowing the sauce to coat each bite. Meatballs had spice and depth and didn't fall apart and weren't too soft. A nice sample from this order but there are a ton of pizza options pastas and desserts to choose from. During the holidays the Chef mentioned he also makes a Pantone dessert in house!

Pizza is literally the easiest food to add an item to. As an experienced chef myself, I know it's an honor to serve food that pleases the palate of those whom I cook for. This "NO SUBSTITUTION" policy tells me there's a lazy kitchen here. And I will want to add to my order. If u want to honor ur culture, cook food that pleases, not just to feed the people. It's not difficult if u care.

Authentic Italian food. If you've been to Italy and loved the food then you will love this place. It does take some time to cook but that is the Italian way...slow cooked, quality food, and enjoying your company. Highly recommend trying their cooking classes. The owners are very kind.
