I've had takeout from here at least 35 times in the last 5 years. I live in bayside so my husband (or myself) always picks it up. I've had most of their menu. The Roman slice and chicken parm roll is two of my favs, also I love their corn and avocado salad. But my all time fav is their soups, especially their lentil soup. I don't even like lentil soup that much but their lentil soup is so freaking good, it'll convert you. All of their soups are great, but the lentil is unbelievable. I could eat it every single day. I also like the zucchini pie, la villa salad, onion bread, etc.. oh and they recently added zeppoles, and my husband said they were bomb. read more

I've been coming to Lavilla for many years since my son went away to the military. I haven't been there for a while. There was flies landing on us and out of most of the things we wanted to order and the food was so so in the service was very slow, very disappointed read more

We rolled in at around 7:30pm on a Friday after Thanksgiving. There were plenty of tables. We ordered a bottle of white wine, an order of rice balls, a slice of pizza, and the Italian Mac and Cheese. The Mac and cheese was amazing. It was piping hot and cooked to perfection. The sauce was not too heavy but the cheese flavors were hitting you left and right. It was the right amount of food. The rice balls even though they are no longer on the menu, you may order them. They were freshly made and perfectly made. The pizza looked good and had that nice thin crust. The price was right and the places is super clean. The wait staff is great. We will definitely be back. read more

I visited LaVilla today for an early dinner for my daughters birthday . It was a beautiful day so we sat in their outside area . It wasn't too busy and were sat right away . As soon as you walk in you smell the wonderful wood burning oven smell . They have such a nice small but very unique menu . Today my daughter and I ordered the mezza Luna appetizer and for dinner the rigatoni ala vodka . My daughter added fried chicken cutlet to hers . They have the best vodka sauce with a Smokey prosciutto flavor as well as some caramelized onions with cream and of course grated cheese . All the food was good only critic is not too add more grated cheese on top as the sauce already has it and it does get a little salty . No real complaints here will definitely come back especially on a beautiful day. read more

I've been going to La Villa for ages....Even before the renovation that took place years ago. I was always a fan of their pizza, baked clams, the dinner entrees (marinated flank steak), pastas. I moved away and had someone coming down this way and they stopped and brought me back a Grandma's pie. I have no idea what happened. It was dry, not much sauce, the cheese seemed different. The whole thing was not memorable and it wasn't the pie that I loved and would go out of my way for. Not sure what happened, different, cheaper ingredients. Totally disappointed. read more

This place is way overpriced and has poor customer service. They got my order wrong then denied it and refused to remake it. I asked for a small prosciutto pizza with lemon oil on the side. They misheard and put herb and garlic oil on the pizza. I've ordered this pizza multiple times and immediately tasted the difference. It's $30 for a small pizza and an additional $3 for oil, so I expect it to be made correctly. When we picked it up they said they put garlic and herb oil on the pizza. We let them know that's not what we ordered and asked to have it remade then they claimed to have used regular oil. I've never experienced customer service like this. Making a mistake on an order then denying it. If I'm telling you this tastes wrong, and you had originally told me it was made wrong, why are you arguing with me and now denying it? I was previously a frequent customer but I wont be after this experience. read more

La villa is a local Italian restaurant located in kindenwood shopping center: I typically come here to grab a slice of pizza before going into the supermarket. (Don't ever go food shopping hungry! lol) Today my boyfriend and I decided to come for dinner. They have outdoor seating which is nice. I had the chicken parm with spaghetti, it was good but nothing to rave over. My boyfriend had the penne vodka. He enjoyed it He ate it all however, I still found it to be okay. The meatball appetizer was good. Good portion and tasty. The atmosphere in this restaurant is good to have a simple lunch/dinner. Would I consider this a top restaurant ? No. But I would come back. read more

My daughter and son in law always comes to this pizzeria when they're visiting in town. We were seated right away. The waiter was pleasant took our appetizer order and our meal order right away. Drinks were also bought to us right away. The coffee drink with whipped cream is to die for. We ordered large zucchini pies. They have one of the best pizzas in New York. The restaurant has comfy seating floors area is clean and they have outdoor seating as well. Our waiter is an older guy. Very nice. I would definitely recommend this pizzeria. read more

La Villa is, hands-down, the best Italian food anywhere, and I've had it all over, including Italy. La Villa is basically homemade Italian food. They use top ingredients. High quality. If you're cheap, and you prefer to pay less for low quality, La Villa isn't for you then. read more

One of the best white pizzas I've ever had. I absolutely loved that the ricotta was piped down the slice so if you folded it over, you got ricotta in every bite. The ricotta was flavored well with something herby and almost garlicky and was so melty, creamy and delicious. I've never had a Bianca pizza with the ricotta seasoned so I was so satisfied with this. The deep dish was very bready but I think it's possible because we got delivery the steam might've played with the texture of the dough so would need to give it a second try straight from the oven to comment anymore on it. That being said, with how different the pizzas looked size wise, I would do wood fired over deep dish the next time without question. The grandma was satisfying but nothing to call home about. read more

Ordered over $100 worth of food for delivery. Sicilian pie came with almost all of the sauce off the pizza and all over the box because the delivery driver clearly doesn't know how to hold a fresh pie straight. Also ordered penne all vodka which cost $23 that barely had enough pasta in the dish to cover the bottom of the pan. Not sure what's going on with this place but they need to make some adjustments. There never been the friendliest people when you go inside and order from the counter but the food at least was better. Too much competition in the area to have to put up with this nonsense. read more

So I came here on Mother's Day for lunch with my daughter and my husband. I've eaten here many times before. they have a large selection of wines and only three beers. I had the Peroni. I'm not a big beer drinker, so I liked that it was mild. The food is always excellent, we sat outside, which is a great amenity they have for the summer. They also took the ravioli off of the menu which was a big disappointment. I had pizza with fresh mozzarella, tomato and basil. My daughter had the rigatoni that was baked and my husband had a meatball hero. The prices are expensive, but I think it's definitely worth it . read more

This is a Lindenwood staple. I've been here dozens of times and they never disappoint. My favorite thing on the menu is the grilled chicken Caesar wrap & it always lasts me two meals. The service is typically fast & always courteous. Never heard anyone complain about anything on the menu so enjoy a good slice of pizza or a classic italian dish. The most recent time we frequented we had the zucchini slice, a grilled chicken Caesar wrap, the La Villa wrap, grilled chicken escarole, & the rigatoni Bolognese with grilled chicken. Everyone surely went home stuffed & satisfied. read more

I've been going to this La Villa location for years. I don't live very close, but it's worth it because of the consistently good food and service. The ambience is simple with a pizza counter in front and patio outside that you can enjoy during the warmer months. I love their Neapolitan pizza and a lot of their non-pizza options too. read more

La Villa has been a staple in the neighborhood and a favorite of mine for years. Sadly I no longer live in the area but when I am around I make it a point to come here. They have one of the BEST Sicilian slices (I've tried plenty. NO ONE compares). All of the food I've tasted from there has been excellent, zero complaints on taste or texture. Service is good even during peak hours. Everyone has been attentive and friendly. Do yourself a favor and try LaVilla read more

We went on Mother's Day a just a boy and his mamí. He was so happy to get dressed in his suit, and take me to a restaurant. The food is good. The service is fine. We not fans of the pizza. That's just our opinion. It's a bit crispy for us, but if you like it like that, then come visit for a slice. They have an outdoor, enclosed patio, that's private, restaurant seating, and bar stool seating for your pizzeria orders. There's a free parking lot, as it's located inside of a shopping center read more

Called in an order for pick up at 7:27pm, was told 20 min- get a text message at 7:43 that its ready- great! I pick up the pizza, drive my two blocks home and its luke warm at best. So much for fresh hot pizza had to put it in the microwave and it ruined the whole taste but who wants to turn on the oven after they just ordered a whole fresh pie. I'm willing to wait for a fresh pie, I wasn't in a rush but of course I didn't know until I got home. read more

The La Villa House Salad is absolutely delicious, and once in a while, when I have the extra money to shell out (since it has gone up significantly in price), it is truly what I crave the most. I love the garlic crostini's with roasted pepper bruschetta on top of the piled high varieties of lettuce, black olives, corn, cucumbers, shredded carrots and purple cabbage, provolone and mozzarella. The balsamic vinaigrette is outstanding but so is the lemon vinaigrette; all depends on your mood that day! read more

This neighborhood pizza/place restaurant has it all. First the food is so delicious. It's clean. Service is friendly. The calzones are amazing. One is large enough for two people. I think it's the best I've ever had. This place is worth a visit for take out or sit down. It's also easy access from the Belt Parkway and across Bay Boulevard. Worth the trip! read more

Best veggie slice, Roman slice, balsamic chicken & pasta Fagioli in town! Just like homemade!

I have been eating here for well over a year now, always take out. A Grilled Chicken caesar wrap. And I'm in love. The best filling wrap ever on pita bread. The other day was actually my first time walking in the store to pick up an order. The staff is nice. I had a square slice while I waited ( Sicilian ) the restaurant was very clean. It's very spacious and they have outdoor seating. read more

Great pizza as well as main courses. Fell in love with their baked clams, so tasty pasta dishes were plentiful and tasty. Service was very attentive and answered questions about menu. Environment can be a bit loud if there are loud children, but overall a very nice atmosphere. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

Prices are way too high young kids working that are disrespectful Not a good atmosphere not a pleasant experience

Not that a great experience. I always pass by here, wondered how the food is. Came here once, and thats it. We sat down pretty quick. Right after us, a lot of people came and waited a very long time. The server gave us the regular menu and specials menu. We looked thru, i picked rigatoni with short ribs, also we wanted to order a shrimp dish from the specials menu. Then the server told us, oh that item we don't have!! Shouldn't you tell us when you give the menus! Then we had to take more time to pick an item. Meanwhile i ordered homemade fried mozzarella. Which was good. While looking at the menu for main course, i see server is getting annoyed and rolling her eyes because we are taking our time.. Well you should have done your job, so I wouldn't take more time!! So, my rigatoni with short ribs were too salty, pasta was over cooked. I must say, they serve pretty fast and attentive, but when the food is over seasoned, that doesn't make it good. Also, we got rigatoni a la vodka with chicken, that was too salty and over seasoned as well!! We ate it just because we were hungry. Then i asked for check, gave my credit card. The check book came, just my credit card in it. No receipt!!! Then i called the server and asked where my receipt is?!?! She said you guys are all set, we don't give receipts!! So i am gonna sit over there and you are not gonna tell me this!!!! I hate service like that! 2 stars just for the fried mozzarella! read more

La Villa Pizzeria - 40$ for one wrap crazy - Pizza Near Me - Howard Beach, New York

I keep updating my review because La Villa is consistently inconsistent. Sometimes the food is good, sometimes it isn't. Sometimes I get sick from it, sometimes I don't. One thing that is consistent is the increasing price for mediocre Italian food. The tomato sauce frequently tastes like it has been sitting in a pot for a very long time and has gotten acidy. The garlic and oil has no flavor. The pasta primavera has julienne vegetables in it, instead of whole vegetables. I know restaurants need to cut corners because of the pandemic but that is ridiculous. They put bruschetta in their salad so there is more bread and less salad. They do mention it in the description but that is a new addition. Definitely not my favorite place. read more

I asked if I could please sit on the other side of the brick oven ? The place was Smokey in the front where they make the pizza, so they asked us to sit straight in the back bc the other side was close .. I told them I had a lung transplant, can they please sit us on the other side ? Michael the pizza man said NO absolutely not, are u kidding me? It's dinner time 5:30 pm .. guess what u just lost 5 customers.. bc Michael could accommodate someone that had a lung transplant and couldn't breathe in the wood burning from the brick oven. I guess it was a blessing in disguise because their prices are outrageous... Bye Lavilla !! read more

I have been a customer here since they were neighbors of McDonalds. ( yes , there was a McD on the end of the strip). While, for the most part, the food and pizza have maintained its quality, the prices, especially recently, have been getting more and more ridiculous. I stopped in today for 3 slices. Price 2 weeks ago was 3.75, now, 4.00 but the worst part was I was charged TAX on top of the 4.00. Is it me, or do most pizzeria's charge tax on slices? I can't recall ever paying tax on a slice. The pizza is good, but not 4.25 a slice. Plus the slices have gotten smaller as well. No more. read more

Excellent food and large portions. The staff are very nice with good service. I would recommend this place for eat in or take out.

We ordered delivery from La Villa directly through them. The food was delivered within 30 minutes of us placing the order! They have mobile credit card processors so they can collect credit card payment at your door. Super quick and convenient. Food arrived hot. One of the best delivery experiences we've had. The food was great as always. They have great consistency among their restaurants even with a large menu. We had lasagna, chicken parm, Caesar salad, sautéed spinach, and burrata. Everything was great! Will be my go to for Italian delivery. read more

Never a bad night of food. Can be over priced but service is always amazing and quick. Classic Italian restaurant - very clean.

The food is so fresh and tasty. Pleasant ambiance and warm staff. I hadn't been here in years due to moving, but the expectations were still met. They for sure are consistent in their service. read more
