The food is very good and the menu is huge for a place like this. Pizza, sandwiches, subs, falafel, salads etc. The service is standard counter service but if you eat in they bring it to your table. The people are nice. The place is small with 6 tables, a tv and a fish tank. Most people they take out but it's nice to at in as well read more

La Nuova Pizzeria - Lunch with Jade - Pizza Near Me - Johnston, Rhode Island

Good pizza, great calzones. Friendly service. That's what to expect from La Nuova. They've been a staple takeout/delivery location in Johnston for many years and it's for a good reason. There's a wide variety on the menu, but I always still to the staples. Their pepperoni and cheese calzone is an absolute slam dunk. Every time. A good amount of spice, a great amount of crunch, and never a question of if it'll fill you up. A close second is their honey mustard chicken calzone. Whatever sauce they're using is absolute All this talk of calzones but let's not forget about the pizza. A traditional Greek style, good sizes with a nice firm crunchy crust. It ain't anything fancy or new-age, but it's always a reliable pie. My go-to is pepperoni and black olive a little well done, and I've never had to doubt if they'll get it right. Prices are what I'd call industry standard and for what you're getting it feels like you're coming out ahead. Service is always friendly and efficient. I can't say I've ever had issues here so I've never had reason to complain, but it just speaks to the quality of the people and care put into the craft. It isn't all sunshine and butterflies, but it hardly is. Let's be real, the interior leaves a bit (okay a lot) to be desired, but hey...I said it's a staple takeout and delivery spot for a reason. Don't let it deter you from giving this place a try, because the food far outshines the veneer. If you're looking for a new-age aesthetic to mold a unique craft pizza, and prices to patch, look elsewhere. If you're looking for just some damn good pizza (and folded pizza) La Nuova is always a good option! read more

Friendly people, and good food overall. That said, there was nothing to distingish it. Its good, but not good enough to make me want to go again, or hype them up. If I happen to be nearby again sometime, I may give them a look again, but otherwise its a pass. Mind you, this isn't a knock on them, as its definitely not bad but more on the meh side. I wouldn't turn it down if offered, but again wouldn't seek it out. read more

Food was delicious and the staff very friendly! Tried the honey mustard chicken calzone! It was both exceptionally good and very big

We used to order from here 5-6 times a month- pizzas, calzone trays for parties. Unfortunately it's under new a owner who has really let the place go. Wrong order three times in last two months, delivery is always super late, and the pizza is often cold or over cooked. Even when choosing pick up option, they are always 30 minutes later than what they tell you it will take. The last time we ordered they never showed up. After 90 minutes we called and were told they "had register issues" and it would be on its way shortly. An hour later still nothing. Called back and was told by the new owner that she didn't think we still wanted the order but they STILL charged my card!! I had to go there in person to get it reversed!! It's a shame because it used to be a good local place. read more

I recently stopped by for a quick lunch and had ordered two sandwiches and fries. I questioned the high price of the total due and was told that they charge $1 extra for onions, tomatoes, pickles etc. so I instructed the cashier to give me only what the sandwiches come with and apparently it is only lettuce! So the price was adjusted. But wait!!---CREDIT CARD CUSTOMERS BEWARE!! Upon receiving my credit card statement in the mail after a my visit to La Nuova pizzeria it revealed that I was charged twice for the same order. I went to La Nuova to see the owner about getting the extra charge refunded. I was asked to wait while he checked his records. After a good 10 minutes or so I asked him what was the delay. He said that he could not refund my money because he believed the credit card company made the mistake! Needless to say I will never recommend or ever go to this establishment again! You have been warned! I followed up my credit card company and filed a dispute!!! I will also be contacting the BBB and Attorney General's office! read more

Not too bad. They do focus more on delivery. The interior is a great little traditional pizza joint, but they tend to ignore it. So it was cold (no heat), the TV was turned off and there were no place settings. The food was pretty good. Nothing great to make them stand out but not bad. The pizza crust was of the thicker sort, but crispy. The sauce was good, but did not seem to soak into or grip the crust. This matters why? Well, when you went to bite into the pizza, everything slid right off. So it really became a knife and fork ordeal. read more

Me and my brother went in around 7:40pm and were the only customers. Our first thoughts was that it was super quiet in the restaurant which may be a sign that it wasnt going to be good, but gave it a shot anyways. I ordered an italian grinder which on the menu says has onion, tomato, lettuce, and hot peppers. When I went home I noticed they didnt put onions or hot peppers in the grinder, I even asked the cashier to put hot peppers in the grinder. Driest grinder I've had, didnt even finish the bread. My brother ordered a burger. Thought would come on a burger bun, instead it was on a grinder roll which was also dry, says mayo on the menu but still had no mayo on it. I would expect more attention to detail since we were the only customers. Would not recommend eating here. read more

First let me say, because of all the delivery horror stories, we opted to pick up our pizza. We ordered the La Nuova's Special, the person that answered the phone was pleasant and efficient. I was told that the pizza would be ready in 25 minutes and it was bing cut and boxed as I walked in through the door, exactly 25 minutes later. We LOVED our pizza - plenty of fresh crisp vegetables, just right amount of cheese and a great crunchy crust. This was our first visit to La Nuova and it will not be the last! read more

La Nuova Pizzeria - La Nouva's Special - Pizza Near Me - Johnston, Rhode Island

We stopped after a soccer game on the recommendation of another family and we were not disappointed! Split a salad and the chicken part calzone. The salad was typical for a pizza place - nothing to make me write a review. BUT the chicken part calzone was the best I've ever had (well, a tie with the four cheese calzone at the old Luigi's in Manchester, NH). It was HUGE and well made...not a spot was not sauced and cheesy. The leftovers were almost as good -- a total WIN! We will definitely be back next time our travels take us by La Nuova!! read more

I stopped into La Nuova Pizzeria while I was waiting for my car windshield to be replaced. I had just gotten out of work and I needed a little over an hour to kill, so after I had a manicure at Castle Nails, next door to La Nuova, I stopped into the pizzeria for a quite bite to eat. It's a fairly small restaurant; there are several booths and tables for patrons who choose to dine in. You can order pizza by the slice, which I opted for; a slice of cheese pizza. It was... ok. Not the best pizza I've ever had, certainly not the worst. I grabbed a menu to take home with me to add to my collection. They offer the typical pizzeria menu options; pizzas, subs, salads as well as some dessert options. Overall, I wasn't impressed with La Nuova, but it did the job of filling up my hungry belly. There are many other great pizza places out there I would choose over this spot. read more

Don't Waste your time! I have given this place two trys. Both times have been underwhelming. They use very cheap ingredients and you can taste the difference. My grinder bun had not been toasted at all. It was made on a cheap role. Chicken cheap low quality. There are so many other places in RI to choose from don't waste your time here. You could make a better sandwich at home! The frys were cold and old. Even their ketchup is watered down and cheap. The owner should stop using such cheap ingredients!! read more

New owners since my last review, I believe. My go-to has been the bbq chicken pizza. Big difference from then and now, as I've only recently been going back here in the last eight months. The menu looks like it's still the same. In the past the pizza used to seem a bit flimsy, maybe not cooked enough. Now, no problems. A little crisp, as requested, light bbq, light cheese and it makes for a couple good breakfast slices the next day. read more

This place is full of them selves orderd last week a cheese burger club only bacon and cheese it was made wrong so I called they said they will put a credit for a cheeseburger club the next time I call , I tryed to place the order just now and was told they credited my account 2$ lol a cheeseburger club I guess is 2$ when I paid 10$ will never eat again at this place and I suggest you don't either if you want your stuff right all I wanted was what I paid for correct unreal terrible customer service read more

Thus is the worst run pizza place I have ever been to. Food never done on time always wait at least half an hour in the restaurant after time given on phone for pick up. Always an excuse never a sorry for the wait. plus cooks handling food with no gloves in the back. The worst run restaurant I have ever seen. read more

I was a bit disappointed with their Pizza. The dough wasn't very impressive and the sauce was a bit on the bland side. Combining the two obviously makes for a underwhelming experience, especially with as many Pizza places in the area. read more

LOVE their pizza. My only issue is that often their delivery times are VERY slow and I've waited HOURS for their pizza. They need to get more help. It could also be a bit more affordable. But if you're looking for really good, Greek pizza this is the place for you. You just might be required to wait. read more

I'd give them no stars if possible ! Ordered at 5:15 and said 30 minutes. Called after 45 minutes and no one answered phone for 15 minutes solid ! Finally at 7:00 ordered from Dominos's . NEVER AGAIN . WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER !!! Update the driver arrived at 7:20 and when I told him to keep it and he just gave me a look and thru pizza in back seat . read more

( Yummy ) Thier Pizza is Great to ..( hats off to the cook and the staff at LaNuovas ) make sure if you get delivery ( TIP ) read more

We just ordered a large pizza and two salads. The pizza was fair. But wasn't cut all the way through so all the toppings came off when you tried to take a slice out. The chicken on the salad was so dry i couldn't even eat it. Mozzarella was tasteless. I wouldn't go back. read more

Pick someplace else if your hungry or in a rush !! I have such a love / hate Relationship with this place. The food is good and the prices are very fair. The staff is nice enough but it's very understaffed. The wait time is the problem how ever long they tell you add at least 25 mins. Every single time I order delivery or pickup you wait and wait and wait. Sooooo annoying read more

I think I just had frozen meatballs in my grinder?! How appalling for an Italian restaurant to serve meatballs that are not homemade?!!

We decided to try LaNuova after reading the earlier yelp reviews. We agree that it is inappropriate to call the caller "Honey" and "Sweetie" on the phone and the lady who answers talks awfully fast. Getting past that the promised delivery time was "half an hour, maybe 40 minutes." and at 35 minutes the driver was at our door. Small 'roni pie and a Buffalo calzone came to about 17 bucks. Our immediate reaction upon opening our first delivery was to look at each other and say, "Wow, nice pizza!" A beautifully browned and crispy edge and crust of about an inch thick around a thinner, well cooked but not burnt pie. The tongue was not betrayed by the eyes in that the pizza was nicely balanced between meat and cheese, thoroughly cooked but not overcooked, not greasy and held together well, retaining its sauce when held and bitten. Excellent flavor throughout. The Buffalo chicken calzone was a full 180 degrees of a circle (not a wedge like some.) It was also hot on arrival and generously stuffed with chicken meat and cheese with plenty of Buff' sauce but not outrageously spicy to where you can't eat it. LaNuova included a plastic ramekin of Bleu Cheese of good quality, with some chunks of actual cheese in it. We have since picked up a large 'roni and will ask for a little extra time in the oven for any future large pies as the extra size needs a few more minute to be cooked to the same degree, and our personal liking. It is true that the ambiance at La Nuova is not Capriccio... but I don't think anyone really goes to a pizza place for the ambiance. Most people get delivery anyway and on that note it would be a good idea to adjust the phone verbiage, but overall LaNuova is our new favorite, go-to pizza place. Well, not really "go-to" since we generally get delivery! Try LaNuova, we do not think you'll be disappointed. read more

We moved to Johnston a while back and have been wanting to try this place. Unfortunately, it seemed like they were never open when we called to place an order. Well, good news, they now have extended hours! We've only ordered there once, but were happy with the results. The pizza was delicious, great flavor and thick crust. The fries were cooked just right and the salad was packed with a number of veggies (which I'm a huge fan of!) We will be ordering there again. Prices were reasonable, as well. read more

If I could leave zero stars I would. I've ordered from then a few times now because I believe in second chances and almost every time now they forget to deliver something I order. I called to tell them they forgot something and the answer the phone well aware they forgot it. How can you run a business so terribly that you can't even get my order correct when that's pretty much your entire job. DONOT ORDER FROM THEM UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR FOOD MADE WRONG OR JUST COMPLETLY FORGOTTEN. WASTE. OF. MONEY. read more

Tonight I had the worst experience EVER! I called in my order @ 4:26 PM (a pizza and some chicken tenders) the lady on the phone told me it was going to be 45-50 Mins. This sounds accurate because I have working in the food industry. I waited until 5:55 to call to question the status of my order. The lady on the phone put me on a 7 min hold (fine they were busy) but when she got on the phone she proceeded to yell at me and told me (that delivery would be 45 mins to an hour) again this is OK however we were currently on the hour & a half mark. I told her this and she got mad at me and HUNG up the phone. I then called back and canceled my order because she was very rude and I am not giving this place anymore of my money. The owner should get a new phone girl because apparently she cannot handle her job. She answers the phone frequently and this is not the first encounter me and my family (living in different residences) have had with her. read more

This place sucks the food is not good when you call for a delivery you get you food an hour or two later ice cold save your money or just go get some steaks oh and dont ask for a side or extra sauce you wont get it read more

It was great from start to finish. The owner greeted us with a nice smile. The service was just excellent because of his great care of us. The atmosphere was very pizza place and very local but of course owner and staff are from other part of world. Pizza was very fresh and perfect taste! Wonderful! read more

My thoughts on La Nuova are this - Average pizza place. Thick crust type pizza, extra cheesy, pretty good, but nothing too special. Prices were a bit on the high side. Friendly staff. Good for take-out. There are a ton of other similar pizza places out there, so I'm not dure if I would come back here or not. read more

We ordered a pizza for delivery and it was excellent! When it got here, it was still nice and hot. The best part is, it wasn't greasy like most pizzas. We would definitely order from here again. It seems they have a large and varied menu and I will be trying some other things as well. Very pleased! read more

So we love this place for pizza, but the salad are sooo boring! I struggle to give this a 4 star rating cuz the pizza and price is just perfect. We eat here. All. The. Time. I hope someone on the staff monitors this place and they step up the salad game! read more
