I ordered pizza from La Pizzeria, while I was staying in Napanee during my long road trip. This casual pizza shop is very cozy which is order at the counter with several tables for eating in.
La Pizzeria is Avril Lavigne's favourite hometown pizza place, growing up in Napanee. The walls, especially behind the counter area are decorated with several Avril Lavigne pictures, posters, and plaques. A few framed pictures above the counter show Avril Lavigne making pizzas in the kitchen. There's a big Avril Lavigne poster displayed prominently in the front window.
On a side note, I have been a fan of Avril Lavigne for over a decade. I've seen her in concert several times and met her in person three times so far. So this visit to La Pizzeria was a very special one.
Anywho, La Pizzeria offers traditional thin crust pizzas (5 sizes), pasta dishes, subs (6" & 12"), salads, burgers, chicken tenders, fish & chips, fries, poutines, onion rings, and cold drinks. Big pizza slices are available during lunch hours. The prices here seem reasonable, most individual items & entrees under $11. Pizzas (whole pies) are $8 and up.
I ordered a small (10") Avril Lavigne's Special Pizza ($11 plus HST), which is has pepperoni, mushrooms & green olives (I will note Avril's favourite toppings are not the same anymore). My pizza was hot and ready to go in about 15 minutes, which was topped with plenty of green olives, mushroom slices, and pepperoni (seemed more like salami-larger diameter & minimal grease), a thick layer of melted mozzarella cheese, slightly sweet tomato sauce on a thin firm chewy crust. The pizza tasted quite good and it was not greasy either.
I would give the pizza a solid 4 stars. I am giving La Pizzeria an extra star for making their pizza shop sort of like a local Avril Lavigne "shrine" where locals and Avril fans can come for their pizza fix in Napanee.
