They participate in the Too Good to Go program. The portion size was ample for the price paid. They are a few blocks from Central Park. I have been to New York many times, if you're willing to walk a few blocks from Central Park prices fall greatly. read more

This pizza spot on the west side is very small but has indoor and outdoor seating. I have only been here a few times never sat and ate inside though. Usually do take out from here when I am in area. I got a slice of chicken pizza. It came out of oven very fast. I was sooo hungry so I ate most of it, but it was kind of tasteless. Not sure if it was fully cooked through or what. But the people who work here are nice. The ambiance here is your regular pizza shop. They also make subs and have pasta too. read more

Opera lovers know that, in Verdi's "La Traviata", they don't serve pizza at Flora's fancy party or sing the 'brindisi' while chewing a pepperoni slice. Well, perhaps it's for the best, as "Traviata Pizzeria" serves no gourmet pies, but big fat cheap slices catering to the workmen at nearby construction sites, or starving operagoers making a quick jaunt during intermissions. I ordered 2 slices for $9.50 and could not finish it. Took a walk in Central Park afterward and gave the leftovers to the birds Lol. watch it here: https://youtu.be/s2tq8umiwUU?si=g6eVPRaPXjkZ2_Ln read more

I grabbed a slice here recently as a quick lunch while I was in the area. Classic unassuming pizza joint. Friendly service and the pizza was good! read more

Absolutely crap, dried out, stale, burned up, day old pizza. No reason to put up with this in NYC with hundreds of decent Pizza places. A strong pass on this hole in the wall mess. read more

Ordered a few boxes of pizza online via Slice for a picnic in Central Park. My order was ready at the time I requested and the pickup went smoothly. The pizzas were also very delicious, classic NY pizza, and enjoyed by all :) read more

Rude ! I placed a take out order. Walked over an hour later. The order was incorrect. The staff did not apologize and said I could wait another 15 min if I want. They couldn't care less. read more

Fantastic spot for slices in Lincoln Square area. This place is definitely a hole in the wall type of spot, but slices are great: thin, crispy, great cheese to sauce ratio. Just what you're looking for in an NYC slice. Plain slice and canned soda for under $5 which is pretty good for lunch in this area. They have a nice slice assortment each day, and plenty of beverages to choose from. Service is quick and kind. They offer delivery and also have some outdoor seating. There's not too much "indoor", but the outdoor area is covered so that's nice. I will be coming back regularly, so glad to have found this gem. read more

Busy busy hole-in-the-wall the wall. Foot traffic at noonish was plentiful. Entrance with 3 steps manageable, has handrails both sides. Counter, maybe 4 tables squished together, and a drink refrigerator. Cozy. Line up, state your toppings for a pizza slice and get rung up. All business. My order took longer than most since I ordered a hot eggplant parm hero. Stoic, and almost friendly guys at the oven and cash register keep the locals' bellies full. read more

LA Traviata Pizzeria - Friday, Oct 13, 2023. Hot eggplant parm hero. - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

This is the proverbial hole-in-the-wall place with some seating. THE PIZZA IS TERRIFIC. I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to go back again and try all the choices they have. I went there with serious foodies, and we all agreed. read more

Pizza was very good. They had a lot of different kinds of pizza. Staff was very sweet and polite. Pizza was warmed up in less that 2 minutes. i would definitely go back read more

Service: 3 Food: 2 Space/Ambiance: 3 Price/Value: 3 We stopped for a quick slice before hitting a movie at the AMC on the corner. When we walked in there was a cute older lady waiting for her food and told us "This is the BEST pizza in all of the upper east side!" Needless to say we went into this expecting greatness. Unfortunately, that lady has zero idea what good pizza is. The pizza was lava hot, not a complaint but more an FYI as I am 4 days out and the roof of my mouth is still blistered and hurting. The sauce was okay, but lacking flavor! Even a pinch of salt would assist them. The crust/dough is crunchy like toast. If that's what you're into you'll love it but I'm more a chewy crust with a crunchy base. I want it to have more a great baguette type texture. Crunchy outside and soft and chewy inside. Long story short, I wouldn't go there again. If it were a dollar slice place maybe as that price point more matches the end product you get but for $3 a slice I expect more flavor at the least. Just so we're clear on my rating. I rate as 3 stars being average and we go up and down from there based on the whole experience, not just the food. If I'm giving a 5 star review it's because the experience was exceptionally above average from start to end and everything in between. read more

I used to love this pizza but they have changes the pizza dough and it's lighter and lacks flavor- I'm really disappointed. I love this place but the pizza is just not memorable anymore :( read more

This little unassuming shop is better than you might think. While on vacation my family of four with teenagers tried this place and found the pizza tastier than nearby options. Great prices too! read more

Amazing and delicious, great place. Pizza is the absolute goat, especially the white pizza. Been going here for the past 6 years after a long school day and it never disappoints. read more

Pretty good pizza! Enjoyed it Very convenient ready made pies and seems to be a neighborhood favorite. read more

Run, don't walk to try their food! One of the few old school pizza joints remaining in the area of the Upper West Side. You want a beautifully renovated space with white table cloths? Cool, you can find that elsewhere. What you get here is earnestly delicious standard New York style pizza - by the slice or by the pie. I live near here and love to go get a beef patty with cheese and a slice once in awhile. The people behind the counter are friendly service is quick and prices are pretty good. Have I had better pizza, yes. But nothing fancy here at all but really pretty good & reliable & nicely priced food - but nothing adventurous or cool (that's fine, go to Artichoke Pizza for that) but a nice chewy crust with lots of toppings and a sauce that is quite tasty. $17 for a large mozzarella pie - where else can you find that and have it taste delicious? Don't poo poo this place - again it isn't chic or renovated (no offense, Traviata; spend you money on food not renovations!) but inside is a gem of a place! Note, I grew up in New Haven, CT and am quite fussy about pizza... give this one a go! read more

What a nice little place on 68th Street just a block away from Central Park West and down the block from Lincoln Center. Had to run to the city today and take my wife to the office and I was starving. We found a spot right in front and in I went. Obviously not a busy day with all going on. I popped in a saw a huge display of pizzas. Chicken cutlet, BBQ, vegetable amongst others were under glass. I just wanted a couple of slices of plain and into the oven they went. The two gentlemen there were cordial and were clearly happy to see someone walking in. (So no-one forgets in the future, we're on Corona Virus lockdown.) Brought the pizza back to Helene's office and I really enjoyed them. Just how I like it, thin crispy crust, a rich-tasty sauce and plenty of cheese. Well, after a one time visit I am a fan. Drop by for a slice if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Pizzas OK. Nothing to write home about. Service was good and the place is a reliable hole in the wall. Good for a quick slice but wouldn't search it out again. read more

Good pizza. I ordered a pizza a couple weeks ago and enjoyed it. However, I found a hair on it. Thought I'd give them another try as the product was good. Guess what I got in the pizza on the second order. ANOTHER HAIR! read more

Awesome pizza, great people, been here forever and will be here another 30 years. Love this place

This place is the hidden gem of the uws! So glad I stumbled upon it and decided to stop in to try a slice. Pizza ratings should be broken down into 3 items so I'll rate each one individually - sauce, cheese and dough/crust. The sauce: 10/10 - I usually like the tomato sauce to be light but this tomato sauce is so flavorful and delicious I couldn't get enough of it. Anil surely delicious Cheese: 9/10 - perfect combo of tastyness, chewyness, and very clearly good quality mozz. Only slight knock is that it's a little oily but that's not the worst thing in the world I guess Dough/crust: 8/10 - great thickness level, nice crunch to it too. Prices are pretty average and service was good too. I thought this might be a cash only type of place but they actually take Apple pay which was great. I will absolutely go back for a slice and probably will order a pie from there next time I have a few friends over. Highly recommend! read more

Traviata pizzeria is appropriately named as it's nestled in the the Upper West Side (Lincoln Center) community. It's a solid choice for a NYC pizza experience. Without asking & without a doubt, I am certain oil & sugar are part of the dough ingredients. Important to know, seating is limited. It's more of a grab & go type place, but enjoy a slice with the locals ...only if you're in the area and it's convenient for you.

I somehow always forget that this is a solid pizzeria on the UWS. The pizza is good (great sauce and the crust is not too doughy) and inexpensive. The staff is always friendly. They have a few tables inside if you choose to stay. There's a nice variety of pizzas to choose from and drinks. They also have salads, calzones, heroes, pasta dishes etc. Its a great place to grab a bite before heading to the AMC theaters around the block read more

Have been coming here for over 15 years - during which time my pizza knowledge has expanded exponentially, with pizza pilgrimages all over the place - and this is still my favorite slice joint on the UWS. It may not look like much, but the flavors are impeccable - garlicky Grandma, e.g. - the service is always friendly, and they have an impressively huge selection of sodas, plus hard-to-find Mexican beers. The new outdoor seating adds a lot of class, as the interior seating still feels a little bit NYC-in-the-1970s read more

La Traviata Pizza is quite literally the best pizza I have ever eaten. I have thought about this pizza for DAYS after leaving NYC. Unassuming from the outside but WOW SO GOOD. read more

I started off with the answer of a slice which was phenomenal. Loved the level of salty minutes. Then went onto the white cheese pizza which was fabulous dad and then from there had a pie of regular slice pizza which was great. Sauce was perfect. Cheese was great. The crust was super. read more

This is the definition of a cozy pizzeria. The staff are the nicest people I've meet. They once gave me and my friends a free slice of pizza just for being regulars. The pizza is heavenly with a crispy bottom and all the classic seasonings. They also have tons of variety for all your cravings. If you're in the area this is a must. read more

Ordered delivery, this unintelligible lady called to say one item wasn't available. It was the item we really wanted so I asked to have the order cancelled. Then she rudely said "call the company to cancel" and "why you order here? Why you order what's not available?" It's not the customers fault when YOU don't have an item available. Obviously intelligence is lacking at this place. So here's your 1 star for being an arrogant ass. read more

I really like this location and layout. It is the epitome of a hole-in-the-wall. The pizza is decent and so are the people. This 70s time-warp is a special place. I would eat here if I were passing it by and hungry. read more

Great pizza. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great all around New York slice. I love pizza and I've eaten at many places around the country, and I can genuinely say that this is the best pizza place I've ever been to. read more

This is where my love for Brooklyn style pizza came from. There pizza are huge slices and are cheap. The only reason why I give it 4 stars is because it's so tiny inside and almost none seating. If I lived in New York this is where I would be getting my pizza from every time. read more

I only tried one plain slice but I guess that was enough for me to write a review. Sauce , cheese and dough all worked harmoniously together with a shake of garlic and oregano on top. It must be something in the water that makes the dough taste so good. You pick it up and the tip bends like it's supposed to. Crust was crunchy and the pizza had lots of flavor. What more do you want. Can't wait to go back to try some other slices. I love the shoebox size of the place too. It just adds to the ambience. I'm hooked. read more

Solid pizza. Nothing special, but a decent slice for sure. I work at a temple around the corner on Friday nights, and I'll frequently stop in at La Traviata on the way to or from work if I'm hungry. With tax, a cheese slice is $3, which for the area isn't too bad. Plus there's outdoor seating and a space to eat, including a standing table if you're on the run. It's nice to know a place like this is in the area. I haven't tried anything yet besides the plain cheese slice, but the other pies with toppings look pretty good! read more

Slightly above standard-issue independent NYC pizza joint, which makes it by far the best choice for affordable eats anywhere near the food desert that is the Lincoln Center area. The spicy garlic sauce condiment makes it my go-to concert night stop, and adds a full star to this rating. read more

Hands down the best pizza on the upper west side! I wish they'd work on their pasta menu and be nicer.
