Good ambience, family-friendly setting with a diverse menu of appetizers and entrees. The staff was nice and thorough even though my friends and I arrived about an hour before they were closing (good service is always, ALWAYS appreciated- sorry about the inconvenience with timing). I ordered the bruschetta and peanut butter truffle. Personally was not a fan of the bruschetta, but if you all enjoy strong balsamic vinegar and dressing it may delight your tastebuds. The truffle was great! A good size for dessert as well. read more

Two Words: Pizza Margherita. After you over indulge with REAL Italian pizza from Naples .. American pizza means nothing to your taste buds. Thankfully, the owners from this joint hail from that region of Italy. And thankfully, they have a wood stove .. which produces the closest thing to a margherita that I have ever tasted on this side of the pond. This - place - rocks. They also have yummie dinners too! Lots to choose from, but not necessarily your typical run of the mill Italian dishes. AND its BYOB :) There is also a private party room which I have been in on a number of occasions. It is not HUGE but enough for a few long tables and a place for a DJ. It is also decorated beautifully, very charming. .. This is NOT a place you want to walk past. I promise you will regret not stopping in ! read more

La Piazza - Private Dinning Room - Pizza Near Me - Allentown, New Jersey

I had expectations of a decent meal here given the decent Yelp ratings, but I was very underwhelmed with the food here, as were the other people I dined with. The complimentary bread to start off was decent (it's difficult to screw this up). Pizza (2/5) was a major disappointment. It was doughy and almost undercooked, with both sauce and cheese lacking in flavor. The pasta with alfredo sauce (1.5/5) had no flavor and tasted like the sauce came out of a jar you buy at the supermarket. The chicken parmigiana (2/5) also lacked in the flavor department. I expected more from a NJ eatery specializing in Italian food. It may have been an off night in the kitchen as the place was packed with families and teens on a Friday, so La Piazza must have some loyal local customer base. I loved the interior decor (5/5) and the service (4/5) was extremely friendly...the food just wasn't up to par unfortunately, so not a place I'd return to anytime soon. read more

Always go here absolutely love this place. Everything you get is awesome and literally will go here every week if I could

They start you off with warm rolls in a bucket, olive oil, and spices. I had the special lobster ravioli and she had a grilled tuna steak on a bed of spinach. Everything was cooked to perfection. Really tasty and filling for a lunch serving. Staff was helpful and pleasant. Ambiance was airy/open. Reasonable prices. read more

I've eaten from La Piazza on numerous occasions; but this was my first dine in opportunity; usually I order while at work and have my food delivered. This is one of the better restaurants in the area, that I've tried thus far; but today I was somewhat disappointed. I ordered a slice of Pizza to eat in and Shrimp Parmesan over linguini to go. Let's start with the Pizza, to me it was okay; for me this could be Psychological; I say this because I believe the further you get away from NYC, the lower the expectations are for Pizza. This slice lacked the greasiness that I long for. For me Great Pizza is determined by the quality of 3 things, the crust, the sauce & the cheese. The crust gets an A+, the cheese gets a B, while the sauce gets a C. Past experience has brought forth excellent Sicilian style pizza, as well as other varieties, but today's Pizza experience was just okay. My Shrimp Parmesan on the other hand was a disappointment, I felt the linguini was a overcooked & drowned in sauce, while the shrimp was more batter, less shrimp and lacked taste. Will I revisit La Piazza again? Absolutely! Because I know that this visit is not a true reflection of their food as a whole, so for now I then give 3 stars, with hopes that this will be changed in the future. read more

I've been to this place about 30 times as I have been working in the area for about 9 months. I've had many delicious items: pizza, stromboli, calamari, spaghetti, veal parmesan, burgers, and so on. Everything has been top notch and the people are wonderful. I recommend highly to anyone in the area and promise you will not be disappointed. read more

Consistently good service & food! I've been enjoying the venue for years & anticipate continuing to do so. I highly recommend!

This is a review of Sunday lunch: It was decent. The chicken parm boli didn't blow me away, but it was still really good. Even the server said it was a good choice. My friend got a chicken panini and mentioned she enjoyed it. We both doggy bagged our meals, as they were large portions. It was a good start to our Allentown outing, and I'd recommend if you're in a pinch, looking for a casual lunch. read more

Solid pizza. Solid restaurant. Good place for a quick lunch They make like 20 different pizzas you can pick out by the slice And nice people read more

Very good local Italian food. My family's favorite is their Brooklyn Pie. We have never had a bad meal and their takeout is superb.

The food at this restaurant is outstanding. They have sauces that will knock your socks off. They had a special that was ravioli stuffed with lobster and shrimp then covered with shrimp and crab meat in vodka sauce that was delicious. There is an extensive menu and on weekends they have specials. My husband always gets the veal Parmesan and is very pleased with it. Their dishes come with a salad or just super choice. They have nice desserts if you still have room. The restaurant is really in the service is very good. Everyone there is very nice. You won't go wrong if you stop in for dinner or lunch. read more

La Piazza - Ravioli special - Pizza Near Me - Allentown, New Jersey

I hosted a rehearsal dinner for my son, his bride and our families. Initially had some difficulty with getting time with the owner, Jerry, to get things organized. As things worked out, Jerry & his staff could not have been nicer and more thorough with the attention to details for the dinner. All the food was spectacular and very plentiful, as we did the family style service. They even set up the bar for the party!! My family is still talking about how great the food was! read more

Vegan pizza was great! Could have been cooked for a little bit longer. Can't wait to go back again!

Absolutely wonderful service, polite wait staff, and amazing food! Tables were staggered for social distancing & all the staff wore masks. 100% recommend you'd try it if in the local area read more

I have dined in person before as well as take out and have always loved the food. My husband and I recently ordered catering for our twins' first birthday. I went in person to place the order and everyone was so helpful and accommodating. I originally planned to order large trays for several items but was told it was too much food for the number of guests I was having. I really appreciated their honesty because they have easily taken my order as-is and made more money, but my positive experience was their priority. The food was absolutely delicious! Among the favorites were the stuffed eggplant, meatballs, and chicken parmigiana. My parents brought home leftovers and my mom looked forward to her dinner every night. I will definitely be ordering again in the future! read more

I have nothing bad to say about this place. No negatives. Pizza is great, and I love their pasta dishes. Best place around. People are super friendly and I never have any problems with my order. read more

We had my daughter's bridal shower here. Jerry was very accommodating! The staff was excellent and the food was amazing! Thank you to all who made the day so memorable. read more

BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD and always love to come back owners are great and food is even better !!!!

Amazing! Highly recommend. My husband and I happened upon this place. All servers and cooks were wearing proper PPE and inside dining tables were socially distanced appropriately. The restaurant is wonderfully decorated and has a family owned feel. Servers were so accommodating and the food was phenomenal. My husband and I live over an hour away and will be back soon! You will not be disappointed. We can't recommend enough. read more

Never a bad meal here and always a full plate. The prices are perfect and the staff are very nice. They even decorated for the super bowl with green lights. GO BIRDS read more

La Piazza - La piazza. In the super bowl spirit - Pizza Near Me - Allentown, New Jersey

This review is for their amazing take-out! I don't normally give out 5 stars but I just couldn't help myself. My family and I ordered the chicken alesso, lasagna, eggplant rolitini and the rigatoni. The portions sizes were very generous and all dishes came with either soup or salad. Bread as an added bonus! High quality ingredients and some old world recipes make for an excellent meal. Way to go La Piazza! read more

Decent food but $48 for 3 sandwiches?! Bbuulll shit. Totally not worth it won't be back

I've had La Piazza many times through parties, I've always thought the food was pretty good which Is why I stopped there on the weekend as I was passing through for take out. I was never greeted, and three men behind the counter made eye contact with me, not one of them attempted to take my order. I waited 10 minutes, always trying to catch someone's eye, but they took three other people who came in after me and never bothered for my order. Terrible customer service, I would never come here again ‍ read more

Excellent Italian food! Nice seating and service. Parking can be difficult On the weekends.

Been here many times when in the Robinsville area, food always great, never had a bad experience here whether it was Pizza or a full meal, highly recommend! read more

My absolute favorite restaurant in the area. Their pizza is the best around, and I've never had an entree there that I didn't love. I'm a harsh critic when it comes to Italian food, but La Piazza never disappoints! read more

The food is usually just fine. Looks cool but nothing to get excited about. Last night we ordered 2 shrimp dishes and lasagna. The lasagna was soup (which i didn't know was possible) and the shrimp were wet and mushy. 3 out of 4 of us got sick right after eating. I called La Piazza to let them know, not even to ask for money back, and the man was very insulted that I even suggested that we got sick from their food. He was rude, and I thought it completely uncalled for, to tell me it couldn't have been their food because it wasn't 24 hours later. Two of the people were visiting for the day, and somehow it must be something we all ate the day before, separately, that got us all sick at the same time after eating La Piazza. That's not how the body reacts when it wants something out now. Never eating there again, disgusted. Serve better food. Not even an apology. Awful. read more

Outstanding service and food. Rice balls and Sicilian pizza are a must. Vegetable soup with sausage and barley is fantastic. Can't go wrong here. These people love food and people. Very special. read more

I'd say the food is ok. I'm not a fan of their pizzas but I will say this... I'm unable to eat a lot of red sauce so I tried their Shroom Pizza (omg amazing), which has "white sauce" it was so freaking good!!! That's alone is their saving grace. read more

I really hate to do this, as I'm a former restaurant worker and I know what goes on behind the scenes, but wow this was a bad experience. Server was friendly, but kind of lazy as they straight up asked us if we were ready to order. When we asked if there were specials, then the server named off a few. Okay, that happens. Calamari was subpar. Tasted unseasoned and mushy. Waited a solid 15 minutes from appetizers to salad. This happens if it's busy, but the restaurant only had 4 or 5 tables besides us. Food comes out and here's where it got bad. My dish was ordered rare and came out well. If there's one thing I know about working the grill, it's not easy to screw up rare and well done. The server didn't come back for a solid 10 minutes and then when I told the server it was well, they promised to make it right. 10 minutes later and I finally have my dish, but my family had already finished so I'm sitting there eating alone. Overall, the entire experience took 1.5 hours which is ridiculous for a near empty restaurant. My family and I feel ripped off as there was never an offer to compensate for us waiting so long and me having to eat alone. I certainly hope the restaurant can use this review as constructive criticism because a few simple and small changes could have made this horrendous experience better. However, at this moment, my family and I will not be back and it's a shame since I wanted to make my father's birthday special. read more

THEY HAD ME AT THE STARTER BREAD! IM NOT KIDDING! I've been to this place a dozen times in my life and have always been satisfied. I would have written a review of this place sooner but I couldn't remember what town it was in. Seriously it took me a month to remember where this was. (Lol) They gave me garlic starter bread that is hands-down the best restaurant bread I have ever had. it is a cross between a garlic knot and old-fashioned garlic bread. I literally ate a whole basket once and cancelled a dinner order LOL ( NO JOKE) They have authentic wood fired pizza THAT IS AS GOOD AS ITS GETS! I had a meatball slice once that literally was covered in meatball and weight 3 pounds LOL. They have a lot of gourmet pizzas as well that are very good. I have never had a complaint about their pizza. Its Very good pizza, although a little pricey. I've been to the restaurant a few times over the years and enjoyed it. They make very good Spaghetti and meatballs. Meatballs were tender and came in a large portion. Spaghetti was cooked right but it didn't taste homemade. It tasted like high quality pasta from a box. The only major complaint I have was that the service can sometimes be slow and inattentive. There have been times when the waiter failed to check back and I have had to wait an excessive amount of time to get a check even with a near-empty restaurant. It's the only thing that prevents this place from being 5 stars: I would drive 90 minutes to eat here. It's that good! read more

Stopped by after going to the Holland ridge farm. Pizza was ok, too much cheese for sure. Salad was ok. Nothing outstanding or bad bit probably won't be going back. read more

For a consistently good italian restaurant without a wait (or a very short one, no real need to call in advance), this is the place. You can get slices and sit in a pizza booth if you want, but my family goes here for sit down BYOB. I get the fire-oven cooked thin crust pizza, but they have all the classic italian dishes. The prices are good, which is surprising for a BYOB which usually compensates for the lost revenue on alcohol. You can pick up wine and beer at the liquor street a block away. The service has always met my critical expectations. For awesome italian take-out try Phil's II on Rt. 526, which is about a 10 minute drive from allentown. That's the only real gustatory competition. Parking lot fills up but you can park in the church parking lot (say a prayer) or across the street in the municipal parking lot, which can prevent a stressful jam up. read more

I have my favorites here and they never disappoint: salmon salad and several tomatoes sauce dishes.

Love this place, the food is always great, more different types of Pizza than you can imagine! Head cook Jose is always coming up with great new dishes! Parking's a pain but you can park behind the church which is only a block away. Great place for groups, parties, take out, dinner, lunch. Count me in as a big fan! read more
