I really wanted to like La Pizza Spot, but it just did not do it for me. The service was friendly and welcoming, which was definitely the highlight of the visit. Unfortunately, the food was pretty average overall, and the pizza itself was honestly a little below average. The atmosphere also still feels almost identical to when it was Tostadas, so it came across more like a menu swap than a completely new dining experience. Nothing really stood out enough to make me want to come back, and personally I will not be returning.

We came to La Pizza Spot on a Wed night. The restaurant had a few tables filled and a few people at the bar. We sat right away and requested to sit at the tables (we have bad memories of the booths being so close together that your knees hit the person across from you and your feet touch from when it was Tostada's). What was difficult for me to endure was the extremely strong smell of perfume in the corner we were sitting in. Almost as if someone spilled a bottle. I'm super sensitive to perfume and cologne so it was quite overwhelming. The staff was very nice and answered all our questions. They may need a scootch more training as the dishes were brought with no serving utensils and the appetizer plates were only upgraded to larger plates because we asked. I think maybe it was thought we were each eating one item and not sharing so it's understandable. Now to the nuts & bolts! We ordered two cocktails and they were made quite well. Could've been a little stronger but they were well balanced and tasty. The Amore is just that! It's really yummy if you like tart! The lemon and passion fruit really gave it a nice refreshing zing! The basil smash was also very good but a little confusing as it came with fresh mint leaves instead of basil. You could taste the basil in the drink but when you sipped it, you smelled the mint so I just took the mint out. I did take out the paper straw because we all know how terrible those are. The food! We ordered the rosemary foccacia that should really be called a rosemary roll. It was the shape of a roll, was smooth and quite crunchy on the exterior. Foccacia in the traditional sense is flat, dimpled and soft. This was still enjoyable and the sauce was very good, but it's a bit mislabeled. $7 for a large dinner roll is a bit steep but we appreciated the flavor, the sauce, and the topping. The meatball was a star. We copied someone else in the reviews and requested marinara and alfredo. The meatball was very flavorful, moist, not too much breading and hit the spot. The size was large for one person but no more than 2 people could share it. The mushroom ragu with the pappardelle noodle was what I was moist excited about. The noodle seemed fresh and was cooked well. I would've preferred a little more al dente but it was good. The sauce was a little disappointing. I was expecting a hearty mushroom flavor that almost mimics meat but it had something in the sauce that made it a little sweet and it threw me off. I don't expect sweet with a dark red sauce (unless it's marsala but a ragu, no). The portion was very generous if it was one individual eating it. The pizza! Yes! They have the crust down! I really enjoyed the Funguy pizza. Thin, chewy, flavorful, delicate. Spot on! Some truffle oil would've put me over the top BUT I don't tolerate fake truffle oil and that's what most use so I'm ok with it not being on there. The La Romana was also very enjoyable. Some slices the rosemary was a little over powering but again, they really have the crust perfected! The gnocchi bread bowl! It's huge, it's got so much stringy cheese it's a spectacle! The sauce is very tasty and the gnocchi are the perfect texture. There's NO WAY one person is even two people could finish it! Next time I would ask for a little less cheese because it's really hard to dish out with how stringy it is! The interesting thing is that you don't feel like you have a mouthful of chewy cheese though. It goes down easily. Last but not least, the Pistachio Lemon Gelato! The combination of vanilla Gelato, lemon olive oil, and pistachios was a hit in my book! I could've had twice the amount of olive oil and really been happy! Very tasty for sure! I would give the overall experience a 3 1/2 stars. There were some hits and some misses but we will definitely come back!

This place had good food, but the experience itself needs to be improved. It felt like they were doing a soft launch and didn't quite have everything smooth yet. We had to ask for things multiple times which was kind of frustrating. They knew how many people were coming because of how many seats but not everyone had silverware either. Once the food & drinks came people were a lot happier. The appetizers were delicious as well as the roasted chicken. I don't think people were disappointed with the food at all.

I was looking for places with pasta and this one caught my eye. There's plenty of parking in the back, and very spacious inside with plenty of seating as well. Service was very friendly and attentive, checking in with you a couple times. The only bad thing is that they're only open in the evenings at 5pm :( . Other than that, it's a really nice ambience, and it was nice of the servers to to-go box the food for you. The "build your own pasta" is also affordable and worth the portion size. Pasta is $10 and adding meat is an extra $5. They also sometimes hold wine nights as well. Food: - Braised Short Rib Risotto: the meat is so tender and melts in your mouth, the sweetness complements the lemon citrusy risotto - Billionaire Lasagna: 15 layers of cheese but it still didn't feel as heavy (which is a good thing), savory and flavorful - Funguy Pizza: I love mushrooms and I wish there were more, thin pizza but with big slices, I think olive oil based - Pesto Bread Bowl: favorite, I don't think I have had a bread bowl like this but it's addicting and flavorful. The bread is soft, pesto is really good and feels light, gnocchi is also well-cooked and soft - BYO Pasta (Orecchiette, Vodka Sauce, Beef Bolognese): recommend this pasta for holding sauce well - BYO Pasta (Rigatoni, Alfredo, Beef Bolognese): can't go wrong with alfredo - BYO Pasta (Rigatoni, Pesto): you can really taste the fresh pesto basil leaves, feels light - BYO Pasta (Orecchiette, Alfredo)

It was a warm Friday night so we decided to go to Campbell. Our first choice was Aqui Cal, but it was packed. So we walked along the street and eventually settled on this place. We were seated at a table for two behind the host station but after a no-show the host moved us to a better table without even being asked. The ambience is comfortable neighborhood chic. Nothing too fancy here. Since I'm allergic to sulfites in red wine, I had a Negroni. It was well made. We had a zucchini appetizer and my wife had a beet salad and I had a pasta dish. They have a nice array of condiments on the table. I would definitely come back

Had a spectacular dinner here tonight at La Pizza Spot. This restaurant has only been open for about a month. And I have to say, they are doing an amazing job! We arrived right when they opened, at 5:00 p.m., and were warmly greeted by the staff upon entering the front door. We were their first customers of the night, with many more people arriving after us. We were immediately seated at a booth, but after a few minutes, my back didn't fare well with that seating. I asked if we could sit across the way at a table for two, with blue velvety chairs. The hostess had no problem with that request. The blue chairs were extremely comfortable, which made my evening better. Our waitress, Ana, introduced herself to us and went over the menu. I really loved that she was very knowledgeable with the menu. She had the best personality. I could tell she enjoyed working there, and it made our experience even better. We had the best time with her. I will definitely ask for her to help us the next time we come. We started off with some sparkling water and ordered the shareable meatball and the citrus fennel salad. For our mains, we tried the squid ink spätzle with added fennel sausage, the mushroom ragu Pappardelle and the roasted chicken. We ordered a variety of things to share, since it was our first time. Our order was spaced out perfectly. Our meatball arrived, and it was huge. My husband and I split that. It was delicious, and I loved the marinara sauce it came with. Next, our salad came out. The presentation was beautiful with the pop of color from the grapefruit. It was amazing. They gave a hefty portion of burrata. The whole salad was delicious and refreshing. The grapefruit was so sweet. We also shared that. Our main course came out next. My husband loved his squid ink spätzle with added fennel sausage. It was very tasty. My mushroom ragu parppadelle was fantastic. I will definitely get this again. The roasted chicken came out next, and we shared this as well. They gave us two chicken drumsticks and thighs. The chicken was served with smashed fingerling potatoes, a cucumber escabeche, and red leaf lettuce, all plated on top of a Romesco sauce. The whole dish was really good. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the fingerling potatoes were crisp. They both paired well with the delicious Romesco sauce, that I loved. The salad was also a nice touch. At this point, we were happily full and had to have some things boxed up to take home. Ana kindly took care of that and returned our leftovers to us in a bag. We did look at the dessert menu and decided to try the Spumoni sorbet. We both loved it. I especially loved the candied cherries in the cherry part of the sorbet. The chocolate and pistachio, along with the cherry sorbet, were all delicious. What a perfect way to end our amazing meal. Overall, an awesome experience with outstanding customer service. Thank you, Ana, for making our night extra special. We look forward to returning and trying other items on your menu.

Came here tonight for their soft opening, the staff is very friendly and I really enjoyed talking to our waitress. 5 stars I ordered the mushroom Ragu Pappardelle. Basically it's a pasta dish with "I think" 4 kinds of fresh, finally minced mushrooms and big pieces of spinach. The Ragu itself was simple put.... wonderful the flavors were just fantastic. The pasta was cooked just slightly under al dente "no complaints" Personally the only thing I had trouble with was the spinach, I felt it was clunky, everything else was finely chopped and beautifully prepared then there was these large pieces of spinach, it kind of felt like it was an after thought. Overall a very very good dish "I could eat that Ragu all day every day" 4.5 stars (if I can make a suggestion, mince the spinach) I ordered the meatball and ask them to give me half marinara and half Alfredo sauce? (because that's how I roll.) they obliged. :-D The meatball itself was a little on dense side and a little too salty 3 stars. The Alfredo sauce was very very good and had delicate, light flavors 5 stars. The marinara was also excellent 5 stars. Wifey ordered the Rosa: gnocchi, creamy marinara, mozzarella, and basil. In a bread crust bowl. Again, delicate, light flavors that IMO took time to develop, nothing overpowering the pallet "very very nice" The Gnocchi were not quite as silky as I expected but still good. 4 stars. Last things: I definitely will return to enjoy more of their wonderful food. I DO HAVE ONE REQUEST TO THE OWNER if you can put a homemade tiramisu on your dessert menu, you will have me hook line and sinker!

So a new pizza place recently opened named La Pizza Spot at 200 E Hamilton Ave, Campbell, CA 95008 where Tostadas used to be, so I decided to try it. Since this was a soft opening it had a very limited menu (see picture). The owners of the restaurant are the same as Tostada's. The restaurant was very clean and identical to what Tostadas looked like. It is a full service restaurant where you're greeted, seated and a professional server (obviously had major training) takes your order. Everyone worked as a team, helping each other as there wasn't a moment that somebody didn't come by asking if I wanted refills or answered questions about the menu. Another item to point out is they have a large banquet room available which was really nice. All the food is house made fresh daily-Yum! Now to the food! I had a make your own cheese, mushroom, and pepperoni pizza. Absolutely fantastic! Not greasy with quality ingredients. I really liked the crust and the sauce. The pasta starter wth pesto sauce was also excellent. The blue cheese house made dressing was superb. Even the pepsie zero was perfectly mixed. For desert, I had the featured Gela-tini. This is a great family restaurant with great food and Superior Service! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND La Pizza Spot!

(Campbell) Food: ROSA 9.4/10 Gnocchi, creamy marinara, mozzarella, basil. My favorite dish that we ordered. Gnocchi was perfectly hot and melts in your mouth. The consistency was spot on. The entire marina cream and cheese tasted so tasty/fresh and the bread bowl was baked well. Only thing it needed for me is protein, which we later found out after I asked that you can pay for them to add on or extra protein in every dish. SPICY PANTALONES. (8.8/10) Fennel sausage, pepperoni, mozzarella, tomato sauce, jalapenos, hot honey. Thin crust pizza tasted and baked well. Dough stayed in place which other thin pizzas fall apart usually. Ingredients were delicious but lacked pepperoni. You can add protein for an extra pay. Really enjoyed the addition of the hot honey which they were generous enough to give us a bottle SMOKED SALMON SPREAD 6/10 Potatoe crisps, chives. - this is more cream than salmon. You can't taste the salmon at all SPUMONI SORBET 6/10 Strawberry, pistachio, chocolate. Very basic sorbet. Consistency is a bit too soft. Flavors were a bit generic. Ambience: great for single, small, or larger groups. Each table is well organized with a clean look. One of the rooms had a beautiful ceiling with plants decoration. It was a little hot. Wish they had an AC or fan. I was sweating a little. Service: Very attentive service and professional. Almost every server asked us how we were doing, if we needed anything. Immediately cleans our table on each dish we finish. A staff member asked us for our honest review to see what we liked and what they can improve on which I appreciate and is a good sign. Reminder that this is a soft opening which staff in these cases are normally more attentive. However if they can keep this up, it's definitely one of the best service in the business. Price: worth the price. Quality ingredients, great service, and entrees were cooked well Parking: back and side parking space

Arrived when it just opened. Upon entering, we were getting apprehensive vibes. You can tell they are just starting out in the pizza business. We were not sure we wanted to stay. Glad we gave it a chance. By the time we were leaving, every table was occupied. Beautiful deco. Service was friendly and they constantly checked on us. We tried the meatball as an app. They did have a large amount of fillers in them, but tasty. I ordered the Gnocchi in a bread bowl with marinara sauce. The bread was pretty dense when baked onto the plate. But if you dig in to the inside and dip it into the sauce- pretty yummy. My date ordered the bolognese with pasta. You can pick the pasta and the sauce. He's a tough critic and he thought it was good. We agreed to return for the pizza. It was on every table of other diners.

La Pizza Spot is a new pizza and pasta place that's currently in its soft opening phrase. Everything here was amazing and delicious, especially their pastas. It's hard to choose my favorite dishes because everything was so good, but the build your own pastas and lasagna definitely stood out to me. Service was exceptional and staff was very friendly and helpful

Upon walking in what caught my eyes were the two separate dining areas one with large screen and the booths . The lighting was perfect not too bright not too dark. We were greeted upon arrival and sat promptly . The service my the waitress and manager were on point . They gave us awesome drink recommendations the lemoncella mule and a Hugo spritz both were very refreshing and perfect . The waitress suggested the arincinis which were great especially with their house made sauce . My daughters Alfredo pasta was on point as well as out Beet salad . The rosa bowl was a hit with gnocchi a creamy tomato sauce and their pizza crust bread bowl . We were too full to get dessert but for sure will have their butter cake . We will for sure be back . I was bad and forgot to take pics of the food cause I couldn't stop eating it but here are pics of the drinks .

Came here last night for dinner with a friend and had a great overall experience. Food. Service. Drinks. Vibe. It was all on point. Server was friendly and helpful. Made great recommendations including popular items and her own favorites. We decided to start with the tempura shrimp and Caesar salad, followed by the spicy pantalones pizza (served with honey) and the fungi pizza. All ingredients were fresh and the tempura shrimp was perfectly crisp. 10/10. Honestly it was tough to decide on what to order because everything looked so good. Their cocktail menu is on point. A ton of different spritz's to choose from. I chose the Hugo spritz which was *chefs kiss* and my friend had a limoncello mule which was also very refreshing. They also have espresso cocktails and their own signature cocktails. Only thing I would ding them on is their wine pour. I also ordered a glass of wine and the pour was definitely smaller than it should have been for any restaurant. The ambience/vibe of the restaurant is great. Inside is super cute. A ton of seating. Feels very cozy but also trendy, and not in an Instagrammy type of way. They also had really good music playing. I will definitely be returning. I hope this place sticks around because it really has potential!
