Reviews for La Villa Pizzeria in Queens, NY
This is a difficult review to write since I?ve gone to this place often over the years. My last few visits have been... disappointing, and I kept returning hoping for improvement, but that never came. Went for a weeknight dinner back in June. Wewere 1 of only 4 tables. It took an extensive amount of time until a waiter/waitress came for our order. Very long wait forour meal?.it was not a busy night. Food was ok, but not as good as many previous visits. Returned a couple weeks after that. Some menu items not available, food came out before drinks?.no one in my group impressed with meal. Was there a few weeks agojust for pizza?.cash only as credit/debit machine not working. It was just pizza so I had the cash. Pizza bland. Went todayfor lunch. Walked in, was told to sit wherever we liked. A few minutes after sitting at a booth was told credit/debit machinenot working (again). Unfortunately this time didn?t have much cash, so we had to leave. This once very good neighborhood spot needs to definitely step it up to get back to what it once was. It?s a convenient location, but I?m not against traveling for agood meal Read more
The food was good not great. The waiter had a little trouble understanding English. My mom had grilled chicken over salad which... she loved, but you have to pay for everything separately. The salad was $10 and then adding the chicken was another 11. Even myentree, veal cutlet parmesan was $21 and unlike most other places you didn't get salad or pasta on the side if you wanted it youhad to order separately to get it. So that would be 21 plus another 10 for a salad or whatever the spaghetti is. Mostrestaurants have the salad or pasta on the side with an entree like that. That was the thing that surprised me Read more
The bus boy didn?t walk us to a table, and he just pointed to a table across the area outside (since we requested to be seated... outside). The man who took our order didn?t introduce himself. We specifically asked for calamari arabiata, but we were servedthe fried calamari. When we asked about the deep dish zucchini pizza, this unnamed guy said the small is too small to share; so,we ordered a large one. Come to find out we were served 8 sicilian zucchini deep dish slices. The unnamed guy took our order andnever came back to our table. Overall, the food is delicious. The service was very poor.

La Villa has some of the best tasting pizza, small selection of nice toppings along with traditional toppings such as pepperoni.... They use a wood burning oven which cannot be beat as far as Great tasting pizza goes! Excellent jumbo sized wraps with freshmozzarella, grape tomatoes, greens and house made dressings, fresh pasta, baked clams, calamari etc. I've been eating there formany years and the food quality is consistent. Prices are somewhat higher than average but it's always a pleasant experienceeating such wonderful food. There's a little outdoor dining area in addition to indoor seating. Can get somewhat crowded duringpeak times, usually not such a quiet atmosphere. Read more
The experience was above my expectations. My family and I decided to dine in (we usually get pizza to go) and we ordered... appetizers, pizza, pasta, and salad. You can tell that everything was made fresh to order. Their pasta sauce is a hit for me. Itdefinitely is seasoned well and is one of the best I?ve tasted. I?m sure they make it themselves. Me personally, I loved myentire meal. No regrets. The eggplant and cheese, ceased salad, pasta. Delicious. Very clean and great music in the background.I have to dine in more often. Read more
Not the worst and not the best grandma skice pizza, but good. Service was just okay. The lead person or host wasn't warm but he... gave us very basic hospitality. However, our waiter was wonderful. Unfortunately she was responsible for waiting on both insideand outside customers. They needed another waiter not fair to her. Then to top the dining experience, their was a couple in themen's bathroom having a discussion or doing who knows what. I will not be returning unless I had an emergency need to eat. PS.it does have a beautiful decore. Read more
Pizza was good. The sauce was good, the cheese was alright. The wood cooked dough was great. Pepperoni could of been more... flavorful. Customer service was great. Indoor and outdoor tables were clean. The ambiance gives you cozy feeling. They?re in ashopping mall so parking can feel crazy at times. This pizza is worth a first time trip and maybe a second if you?re near by.Would I take a 1hr ride to try this pizza. Absolutely not. Nothing special but it is a great pizza joint. Like many customershave stated, its very EXPENSIVE. The pizza does not justify the prize. You?re paying neighborhood premium. I think you can get abetter deal at New Park Pizza that is a few minutes away(strictly Pizza experience). Read more
