So yummy.... But so many choices it was hard to choose, guess that means I will just have to go back and try more!! Pizza, pasta, subs, dinners, seafood and more!! Everything looked and tasted fresh, full of flavor. I left happy, stuff and overly satisfied. Greeted and assisted as soon as I walked in and everyone continued being nice till the moment I left. Great food, friendly staff, super clean restaurant and convenient location. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

I've never had the pizza, but the shrimp platter is pretty tasty. It's also a good portion for the price. Restaurant is normally clean, and workers are nice enough. read more

La Vita is still my go to in the neighborhood for a slice of my favorite white pizza. It's just gets more delicious the closer you get to the crust. I love thin slices of pizza the best. My daughter loves the pepperoni slice. If you're in the neighborhood give them a try! read more

I always come here for more pizza every time I'm in nyc. Super thin and chewy dough and fresh cheese. Free wifi and lots of choices of pizza and italían dishes like penne vodka pasta. Up per East side. Super close to the 6 train to 96th Street on 3rd avenue. It's on 94th and 3rd. Always nice staff who was fast and kind. read more

Nope! I've had better beef patties at a deli! I don't think they prepare the food with love at this point. read more

Food is good and reasonably priced. Love that they're open until 2am on weekdays and 4am on weekends. Can't go wrong with any of their food but their stuffed shells and lasagna is the best and get free bread and butter with it too so two meals for one. Staff is friendly read more

Please avoid at all costs. Had a $300 order for my son's birthday party they forgot to deliver. 55 people sitting waiting for food and they "just forgot". I was so embarrassed. Paid extra for the venue to stay longer because once I called they delivered 1.5 hrs late. Went back and they said THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME since pizza was delivered. I had offered to call the morning of the party tonremind them and they said no worries I got you! Horrible customer service! I've never been so beside myself. DO NOT SUPPORT! read more

I ordered this for my team because they had been working nonstop and needed an easy and good tasting lunch. When it got to my floor, two different people found hair in the pizza. I contacted the owner, he asked for a picture, I sent it and he never responded. After 3 hours I reached out and his response was "next time this happens, I will bring you another". No apology, no initial response. Pizza was ok, but customer service was a zero. Very disappointed as my staff did not eat an entire pizza. read more

La Vita Pizza - Margharita Pizza Slice - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

La Vita Pizza replaced Zesty and fortunately it's very good! They have a wide variety to choose from- I'd say more than 20 types. Most are regular shaped slices with some square slices and one or two Sicilian options. For vegetarians or people who prefer veggies on their pizza there's a mushroom slice, an olive slice, an eggplant parm slice, a margherita slice, one with spinach and more. For meat eaters/lovers they have pepperoni, chicken caesar, chicken parm, chicken bacon with ranch, ham with pineapple, sausage with pepperoni and more. I sampled four slices: Baked ziti slice- this was good but not great in my opinion. It didn't have enough sauce for my liking but I asked for some more red sauce on the slide and that made it better. Chicken caesar salad slice- this is a white slice with no red sauce and it's topped with romaine, thin slices of chicken and caesar dressing. It was pretty good! My favorite chicken caesar slice is at Marinara on Lexington and 91st street. Eggplant parm slice- this was really good! It had ricotta, thin slices of breaded eggplant and marinara sauce. I would get this slice again! Sausage slice- this was a cheese slice and I asked them to put sausage on top. It was simple but delicious. I'll be back at La Vita Pizza. They have great variety, good quality and the prices are comparable to other places in the area. read more

La Vita replaced a pizza establishment that was there just before their opening. I really liked the pizza at the place prior and am unsure of why one pizza spot came to replace another. But like anything in NYC, things come and go!  This is not my first time at La Vita and it won't be my last. I really enjoy their selection of pies - there are so many to choose from. I've experimented with a few different styles of pizza, from the traditional triangle shaped slices to rectangular Sicilian style. Everything is just so delicious and flavorful. Also, I really enjoy my pizza being extra toasted and crunchy and every time I make that request they do so without any qualm, which I appreciate. For this particular order, my roommate and I were hosting a Rihanna Concert/Superbowl gathering for some friends and I. The place we wanted to order from was closed (this was around 6:00pm) but La Vita was open and offered pick up, which we wanted to do since they're around the corner from our place. We made our request and wrote a little note for them to cut the pizzas into lots of thin slices. We were happy to receive messages from the application we used to order, which kept us informed on the progress. But we never got a call or notification saying it was ready, just a time frame. So when we went to pick it up, it was already ready and had been sitting which made the pizza cold. We were happy to see that the request we made was granted and it was cut into many slices. Overall, La Vita is a great place, maybe a little pricey, but work it in terms of flavor. read more

Finally a pizzeria in the UES close to home with late closing time!!!!!!! Also, with a bunch of different slices to choose from plus other comfort food options with affordable price! So far so good! As said, so many options, clean place, veey friendly and so fast service! Tried veggie slice, margharita, grandma, sicilian and pepperoni (square). All good except the pepperoni one that was very spicy and lacking of cheese. Will try others! read more

They certainly don't care about nurses- we ordered for the unit, found not one but 2 hairs in one of the pizzas and called them. He said he needed pictures to confirm, which we sent, he told us if it happens again he will send a new pizza. Thanks for making us either starve or eat hair. read more

Ate a chicken parm and penne alla vodka last night from La Vita Pizza and it was shockingly very good. I just wanted a late night bite and it most certainly satisfied all of my cravings. The chicken parm arrived hot and was covered in endless marinara sauce. I loved how the chicken was crispy. The pasta's sauce was delicious and I enjoyed that I was provided a side of bread to dip with. We ordered delivery and it was extremely quick. Everything was smooth from the beginning to the end, so the service was good. Ambiance I am not too sure about but will make a visit in-person one day. Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: N/A read more

Ordered take out and the pizza was pretty good. Tried the grandma pie ($22) which was one of the better grandma pies we have had, good texture and flavor with a nice hint of garlic. Also ordered a slice of sicilian which was good but not my favorite. I prefer my sicilian to be thicker and more chewy, this slice was very crunchy (the entire bottom and crust) and the crust at the farthest edge was like a cracker. Overall a solid spot for pizza and reasonably priced as NYC pizzerias go. read more

The cheese pizza was delicious. Very quick service and decent seating space. Also very reasonable prices. read more

The food was great and the service was fast and reliable ...the sandwiches and the pizza taste great

Just landed from LA and was so hungry so we went for a walk in the neighborhood and found this place after the bartender next door recommended we come in for the chicken pizza roll so I went and had my first chicken pizza roll ever! I say it was a 8 out of 10, my boyfriend says it was a 6 out of 10, but I'm also just visiting and he knows more about NYC pizzerias. Anyway, the service was fast and efficient, ambiance was average and clean. Would come back for another one read more

4.5 stars. Tons of pizza options up here in the east 90s but La Vita is now my favorite everyday pizza after a few months of eating there. I've picked up slices and had 3 separate pies delivered and it's always fast and on point. Some other nearby pricier pizza joints are better but, within the price range, I think La Vita is a notch above the others in consistency, quality, and speed. read more

We're so excited this place just opened up. So many options for slices. The pasta slice is my favorite - I'm actively trying not to have it more than twice a week They have late hours and will surely be a favorite late-night stop. The staff is super friendly. A large pie is around $20 which is unbeatable in the area. read more

Best Pizzeria on the UES. This took the old Zesty spot who after one of my highly negative reviews were shut down. So watch out restauranteurs! My reviews pack a punch. Lol.. Jokes aside, this place serves great pizza, numerous options when it comes to toppings. Descent price for a specialty slice. Little too high $$$ for a plain slice or Sicilian. Their hot heros are on point. Meatball Parm is my favorite. Beef patty with cheese is delicious. Garlic knots are fresh and potent. Best hours in the neighborhood by far. I believe they're Open till 4am on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays to coincide with the local bars. As far as a NYC pizzeria, it's the best one in the 90s (streets) from 1st to 5th Avenue. Staff is very friendly and the place is spotless clean. It's a GO! Have to try more food before I can give a 5 star review but as a Pizza joint alone, it's definitely 5 stars. read more

My go-to spot on the UES. Super friendly staff, the perfect crispy crust just barely blackened, and generous toppings. I've gone here multiple times and they are consistent in quality. Eggplant slice and vegetarian options are definitely their strong suit. Their pasta options are large given how cheap they are. read more

I've purchased buffalo wings from here numerous times since they opened the batch this time not the same they were overly drenched in batter and overly tiny wings the celery soggy they pilot inside the plate who does that Pizza good fried zucchini good Worth the order skip the wings if they don't go back to how they were made before !!!! read more

Very tasty! And glad to have this spot in the neighborhood. Ordered food for delivery and it was made and sent quickly. The ambiance passing this place is always bright and clean. read more

I stopped into La Vita Pizza today to grab a bite. I ordered a Margherita slice, and a Margherita with Mushrooms. The space is very nice and the bathroom was very clean. My slices were both good, but nothing to brag about. The sauce on both slices was a bit too sweet, and the crust's could have been a bit crunchier. My bill with a bottle of Poland Spring Water was $11.32. Thank U next! read more

This has become my go to pizza spot in the neighborhood. I have never had anything from here that I have not found to be absolutely delicious. The service is amazing, the food is fantastic and the staff is great. Mo is alway so happy and friendly and accommodating and genuinely cares about what he does. Everything about this place keeps me going back! read more

Pepperoni pizza was delicious and delivered piping hot. Delivery time was estimated at 30 minutes, but the pie was delivered in 20. I highly recommend LaVita. read more

I ordered baked ziti pasta with sausage. Delivery was fast. Portion is big enough for 2 ppl and tasty. Will order from them again.

good pizza. good food. good service. great staff. welcome addition that doesn't close when the sun goes down.

Had take out.. Chicken and eggplant parmigiana. Was quick and hot. Next time will eat in.

Used to be Zesty Pizzeria, which I used to order buffalo wings and garlic knots from time to time. Glad it's another local pizzeria that replaced the old place. Definitely need more local businesses around the neighborhood and not another Popeye or fast food chain. read more

Good slices and variety, not my fave. Topping heavy, not the most balanced. Grandma slices had good crunch but sauce wasn't the best

Very tasty sauce sweet tangy. Thin crust very tasty. Open until 2 am big plus. Will come back here. Slices 2.50 seems very good price compared to most places read more

The pizza quality and the ambiance is about the same as a Sabarro. The chicken salad wrap was particularly dry and the salad was completely wilted and quite gross. Really, really bad. read more

Tried it out today. What a God send! Love the calzone and the margarita slice. They're soft and made to perfection. This place opened up about 2 months ago. My only question is where was I this whole time?!!! read more
