    Shrimp platter
    Sunshine A.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Baked ziti. $10.83 after tax enough for 2-3 people, weighs 5 pounds

    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

    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.

    Came in to get a slice and was overwhelmed by the variety of pies! Ended up with the Margherita pizza and it was great! Speedy and friendly service. Atmosphere is typical pizzeria - no fuss. Would return !

    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.

    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.

    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!

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

    Vodka Pizza plus sausage and peppers
    Tony C.

    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.

The crust was very thin, even for a NYC slice, and was alright, being a bit doughy at the top. I found the sauce too sweet for my liking, which almost reminded me of the rather terrible Little Italy chain. There was plenty of cheese, and it had a good pull, even if it looked a bit overcooked on top. I'm presuming the average ratings here and on other sites are because of their location and the fact that a lot of tourists who go here can't tell the difference between Joe's and a dollar slice. Perfectly decent slice on the level, if not worse than many slices in the city, as I disliked the sauce, while the rest was fine.

Definitely not your average pizza joint. This place is popular -- there were plenty of people eating -- but surprisingly, our wait wasn't long at all. And even with all the bodies in there, it never felt crammed or uncomfortable. We ordered a small pizza and did half Shrimp Fra Diavolo and half Margherita. The Fra Diavolo had a little kick, but nothing crazy -- and this is coming from someone who cannot handle big spice The Margherita had just the right amount of basil and mozzarella, and that crispy crust was exactly what I wanted. Although there was no major cheese pull, it was still perfect. The small was plenty for the two of us and honestly just perfect. We also had a couple cocktails, which were delicious too. I always say NYC food pricing is kind of deceiving. You look at the price and go, "Ummm..." but then the food comes out and you realize they give you A LOT. Definitely felt like we got our money's worth here. Great pizza, really cool atmosphere, and a fun first NYC pizza experience for the husband. Happy Eating, Chass

Seriously, none of the pies stood out in grand memory. All I can think of is, well, nothing. Nothing positive anyway. The names of the pies are funny, and the staff is friendly, but besides that, the quality of the food for lack of a better word, dare I say it, sucks. Hoping to salvage the meal, I ordered their Chicken Parmesan. It was the Hail Mary pass that unfortunately did not connect. The cutlets are overcooked and dry, and the red sauce cooked with it has minimal tomato flavor. At least the spaghetti is cooked to a nice al dente and mellow garlic butter flavor, but like the sauce cooked in, it is also minimal. Part of the problem I feel is they are trying to go for a vibe that has a New York and modern feel. It does not work. Stay true to one or the other. Or at least look at other business models. I will use another pizzeria in Bushwick that exemplifies it perfectly. It is a hipster pizzeria in a hipster neighborhood. Through balance, it creates an ambiance both welcoming and warm without losing any of its Bushwick character. It does this by not beating you over the head with hipster vibes, just enough to let you know that you are in Bushwick. The band Franz Ferdinand was playing as I was wrapping up. Rather than take the pizza out, I suggest you throw it out. Overall pizza rating: 1.7/5

I have to say the centerpiece of the entire narrow room is the bar itself, and let me tell you, it is an absolute stunner of a contrast. Instead of the usual dark, sticky tavern wood, they've dropped in a long, continuous slab of pristine, elegantly smooth white stone. It glows under the soft lighting like a block of polished marble. There are no strobe lights and no obnoxious, skull-rattling bass in this joint. Instead, the room is wrapped in a blanket of incredibly chill music that matches the pulse of the room perfectly. It's just loud enough to drown out the noise in your own head, but quiet enough that you don't have to scream over the smooth white counter to be heard. People aren't here to be seen on TikTok; they're here to disappear for an hour or three. You slide into a chair, order a proper Old Fashioned from a bartender who doesn't rush the pour, and watch the ice melt against the amber-lit brick. It's the ultimate underground exhale--a perfect, narrow slice of peace in a city that never shuts up. Cheers!
