Yum! I came here for lunch over the weekend with my companion because I was craving pasta. We were seated promptly in a booth seat (love booths) and were given menus, water, and bread. The bread was really good. They give you three kinds: fluffy ciabatta, regular italian, and these sesame poppyseed crackers. The ciabatta was so pillowy, soft, chewy, and perfect. The italian bread had a crisp exterior and fluffy interior. And the crackers were perfectly crunchy and I enjoyed the poppyseeds. To start, we ordered some garlic bread with mozzarella, which was so good and the portion was really generous. I actually only ate one piece before realizing I might be too full for my entree. For our main meal, my companion ordered the fettuccine alfredo. The noodles were soft (I speculated that they might be freshly made pasta noodles) and the sauce was buttery and cheesy and really good but not too heavy. I ordered the penne paesana, which had shrimp, broccoli rabe, pignoli nuts, and garlic slices with a bit of tomato. It was really good and the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente (which I love). This would be a good place to have a casual date. The staff is friendly and attentive and I definitely enjoyed myself here. They also have a takeout area with pizzas and calzones. read more

I tried to leave the house but the La Piazza delivery guy decided to block my driveway. So I waited for him to come back to his car. I guess he doesn't know to park on the street. Then the woman that picked up the phone there didn't really care. The lack of care by La Piazza here shows in their food quality as well. read more

Great GLUTEN FREE PIZZA - I only recently went Gluten free and it has been so difficult finding pizza places that sell gluten free pizza so I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in and they had a sign saying Now serving GF pizza. Everything else they make is great & this specialty pizza was no different. Specially cooked on it's oven tray that you keep (if take out) no cross contamination - which is very important read more

Best pizza ever! Thanks for working so hard to get everyone fed during the pandemic. We've been coming to you from NJ for over two decades and never leave Long Island without a margarita pie! read more

Sicilian style. From pizza to pasta everything is fresh and delicious. Veggie crispino pie is the best!

Very disappointed with my last visit to La piazza in Plainview. We've always loved the food there, but has anyone ever heard of a restaurant doing this before....charging more for food to sit down rather than take it out? My family ordered a plain pie with half Buffalo chicken. We were charged $32.95!! I know prices are going up but come on. When I asked the man at the counter what a regular pie with half Buffalo chicken would cost he told me $28. When I asked him why the price difference he said it was because we ate the pizza there. I've never heard of such a thing. Has anyone else? They have definitely lost a customer. read more

Our family "pizza night" from la piazza has become a favorite tradition with my children. Delicious, and fresh and very generous pies! But even more so, the way the owner is treating customers is exceptional and so kind. Can't wait for our next family pizza night from la piazza! read more

La Piazza - Pizza Near Me - Plainview, New York

Best place in town to pick up a slice of pizza. I'm a simple man so I usually go with a plain sicilian or a pepperoni slice and I'm happy. I have to say though, I'm not a big fan of buffalo sauce, but theres something special about the buffalo chicken slice. It's not too saucy and isn't too intense. It's a pretty solid and unique tasting slice of pizza. The restaurant in the back also has a good selection of authentic Italian food. It's better to go for lunch because dinner can get packed quickly and is on the pricier side. read more

This place is disgusting and a rip off. This is the soup they give you for $7. It's the size of a small soup from the Chinese food place that you get for $2. Do not go here read more

We are here twice in one weekend. The food was all homemade and the pasta was the best I have had in years. The starting bread basket is to fie for. It can be busy but it is worth the wait. Such a local gem. read more

Never disappointed here . Everything's great all the time. Best chicken Marsala pizza I ever had. Pass at least a half dozen other pizzerias on the way but will travel the extra mile for it. read more

I came here recently on a Thursday night with a friend for a casual dinner. We were seated about ten mins after arriving, which is fine. Upon sitting, the waitress came over and told us she would be back soon and "kill both of you at the same time" (our table and the table next to us) which was a little odd. We got drinks and noticed we were the only table that didn't get bread, but opted not to say anything. The waitress came back, took our orders, and food was out fairly quickly. Now, I have to say, the food was excellent. We had the fried calamari, eggplant rollatini, and shrimp salad, all to share. The salad was especially delicious, and I'm not a big salad person but I found this salad very satisfying. The eggplant was also delicious, perfect ratio of sauce, cheese, and eggplant. The calamari was also good, but def could have been a bit more crunchy. We really had no complaints about the food at all, it was more the waitress. She was just odd. From her first comment, to coming over to our table to ask how everything was while chewing a mouth full of food, to making us feel rushed at 820 when the place closes at 10. Had we had a different waitress, I could have definitely given this place four stars. She was strange, but I would come back for food! read more

Horrible food! The quality has really deteriorated. Chicken parmigiana has 3/4 layer of breading on only 1/4th layer of Chicken. It tastes stale and awful. This place is not the same. Used to be good but not anymore. The prices keep going up and quality keeps going down! read more

Briana is an asset to your restaurant. She is professional, and a pleasure to deal with. She really goes above and beyond for her guests and makes sure all parties are happy and completely satisfied. read more

I really can't understand La Piazza. It's possible I just had a bad experience. I ordered an 18" pie with veggies. Unfortunately the pie was totally soggy. All topping ingredients didn't taste fresh, which could be a matter of personal preference, not for me. The sauce and cheese lacked in flavor, I can only describe it as bland. I'm not sure why, could it be the sauce? The cheese? The fact that all the toppings were wet when put on the pizza (the brine was dripping off as we ate it)? I really don't know. I may try this place again in a few months and update this review, maybe it was just an off day for these guys. read more

This restaurant NEVER disappoints. The absolute BEST food, fair prices and a place you can always count on for excellent tasty quality food. No place better... bring your appetite! read more

The place was crowded. Service felt very rushed. The food was excellent though. I had the eggplant parm. Others had shrimp parm, etc. If you go during a slow time, I'm sure you will have a great experience. read more

If you want traditional NY pizza, this is a good place to go, and they also have a nice dining area with an extensive Italian menu. Not sure what they do here, maybe location, since they have been very busy for years, busier than a place I liked more across the street. But it's a solid choice for traditional NY pizza lovers. read more

My favorite Pizzaria ever. I used to live in New Hyde park and my go to was Umbertos. Nothing could compare. But let me tell you their veggie crispino slice is to die for. If you are not even a veggie fan try it. Trust me. You will thank me later. Best rice balls. Salads are ALWAYS FRESH and not just lettuce. Must try the grilled chicken broccoli rabe hero!!!! OMG. HEAVEN !!!!!! This would be a 5 star review if weren't for all the guys behind the counter hitting on me. When They ask me if I'd like to stay or to go before I even answer to say to go they say no to stay. Yes I understand people joke around but it is every single time I go there for over two years. It would be nice to go have lunch there by myself but I don't because of that and feeling uncomfortable. Fortunately I'm in love with their food so I will continue to order takeout. read more

Last Sunday husband wanted to watch football and I didn't feel well so I said let's get a pizza delivered. I called to order a large plain Neapolitan Pie and a Eggplant Parm Hero. The guy who answered said they weren't delivering they had no drivers, so I hung up. Husband says callback and order, he'll go get it (it was 3 degrees wind chill and husband uses a cane (bad knee). Anyway I call back the person takes the order and doesn't repeat back the 2 items. Hubs comes back with this tiny box and a bag with the Hero. They gave him an ice cold tiny brick oven pizza that must have sat there while they made the hero (the cheese was crusty and thin as a cracker. PLUS hubs says they were running around like crazy with deliveries. Why did that guy lie to me?? When I called back to complain, the girl says the deliveries are taking awhile, well that's different then no delivery, right? I wasn't in a big rush, I wouldn't mind an hour wait, just be honest. So she asked if I wanted a large pizza delivered, I said yes, because that tiny cracker pie I was never going to eat. They charged me the $6 difference and the delivery came quick. I wanted to give back the tiny pizza but the delivery guy wouldn't take it. I don't think they should have charged me for not so much the mistake (that can happen) it was the LIE about the delivery. As a lifelong resident of Plainview and going to this place when it was The Gallery, I won't be back. read more

My company always orders from here. I don't know why. I think it's just a matter of not thinking outside of the box, and for a person who dances on the outsides of said box, I am bewildered every time I hear it's La Piazza. Nevertheless, I've eaten here about once a month for the past few years - so I can pretty much give a good impression about the place. I don't like them, but I admit it, the food is pretty good and they run a tight ship. Truth in that. The staff are rushed and I never felt like I got a personal experience from any one of them. Not exactly the douchebags of Long Island's lore, but more like their older brothers who always had a job and now work here. I only have experience with takeout and the counterguys. So the waitstaff and dining experience, I cannot comment on. Honey roasted Pecan salad with the gargonzola cheese and balsamic vinegar is a great match. The greens are mixed and dark green and everything goes together so well. I can't believe they found this formula. *******Censured for my own protection************ Did you know that this is the XXXXXX Pizzeria? Yep, there was a big XXX XXXXXXX there a few years ago. Unxxxxxxxx things happened with unxxxx xxxx in the xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxx xxxx. It's basically disappeared from the internet, but it remains in the minds of all of us at work. Every time we order: La Piazza?... Oh, the xxxxx xxxxxxx?... Yep, that one. ************** Their pizzas are very good. Not the best, not like umbertos or Phil's but very good. Fried calamari is more than passable. Not bullshit. Buffalo chicken pizza creates it's own standard. Hot and creamy. That chicken hot buffalo sauce plus blue cheese hits the center of the X all the time. The slices in general have a bit of a stiff crust. I'm more of a fluffly sweet kind of guy, but it's not bad at all. It's distinctively La Piazza. Prices are about 20 percent more than other pizzerias in the neighborhood. They can do it though, because they are perpetually packed. I don't mind though, because I never pay. They almost opened a third location but that was abandoned. Sometimes with the amount of business they do, I worry they will get a little too commercial. Makes me concerned about their integrity and accountability. It hasn't been an issue yet, but I worry about the day they hire a "consultant" - consultants perpetually are the ones jumping the shark into Sbarro's terribory. Stay True! read more

When we were going to Long Island, I asked Yelpers in NY where to get some good Italian food on Long Island. Most of them (NYCers) just laughed at me. And maybe they're right. But compared to the Italian culture where I live in California, Long Island is crawling with it. Anyway, we didn't get a chance to try any of the (few) recommendations on Long Island (most were in NYC anyway), but believe it or not the hotel recommended this place and I totally have to agree. We pulled up and I was thinking "Seriously ... in a shopping center ... looks like you order at the counter ... can I get some real food around here?" But my first impression was wrong. Yes, there is an area where you can order pizza slices to go from the counter -- hard to find in the Bay Area suburbs -- but the rest of the place is a regular restaurant. And, by the way, it was packed on a Thursday night. We got seated right away but there was a steady stream of people on both sides of the place. Got the chianti. All the wines were reasonably priced. I ordered the penne caprese and it was pretty good. My fiance got some sort of shrimp entree that the server recommended and he loved it. The bread served on the table was good too. We came back one other time on our visit for a slice of pizza that was pretty darn good too. Anyway, it wasn't exactly old country Tony Soprano territory (yes, I know he was from Jersey, thanks) but it was good. And I loved being somewhere surrounded by locals, as we listened in on their Long Island accents. Classic. read more

The service was superb. That being said, with all the wonderful Italian food in NY, I don't know why anyone would settle for "just okay". Went with a large group from out of state who wanted to experience real NY pizza. While the pizza looked very good, it is not what I would classify as a true example of traditional NY pizza. All of the pastas were extremely average. I was told the meatballs were not so good. The Bolognese was just okay. We called ahead to see if they offered gluten free pasta as one of our members has GF issues. We were told "no, but we have GF pizza shells." The truth is they DO offer GF pasta as well. The desserts were wonderful. They serve Juniors cheesecake which is second to none. Separate checks were accomplished, but caused the management a lot of angst. Even though they were told in the beginning of the meal it was required, it took them 25 minutes to get them to the table. read more

Consistently great food for many years. I now go out of my waY past several pizza places to eat here. Definitely worth giving 5 stars. Everything is delicious AF read more

Growing up in Plainview, I had La Piazza several times a week- it was basically my second home. Simply put, it is a great family restaurant with delicious food and friendly staff. Baked ziti is my go-to dish there but really everything on the menu is great (I'm also a big fan of the pecan salad, penne madiera, and chicken marsala). La p is a hometown favorite and Plainview wouldn't be the same without it. read more

Just went in ,,new owner apparently..kudos he's custumer oriented ,so is the staff, however I order the slice with the caramelized onions,peppers,eggplants,and zucchini, wow what horrible taste ,furthermore the clerk did not let my food get hot enough,my food was Cold. I order the Garlic knots...uffa...so greasy. They taste like spoge and grease,..I will not come back.i won't recommend this place either. read more

Complaint! Very good food, but their regular slice of pizza is very small. They seem to get smaller each time, so it was time to complain. Ridiculous! read more

This is my go to pizza last fifteen years esp since my friend also owned a store in the same shopping complex. However today's experience has left me very disappointed. I've dealt with loui plenty of times as well as Tony the manager there who's awesome. Today I had the esteemed pleasure of dealing with Shane. Please fire him. When I asked him for a new slice of pizza because the existing pie looked like a mouse bit off the ends he said he didn't have any. I said I'd wait then he pulled out a pie from the bottom cut me a small slice and proceeded to sell it to me. I said no I want the slice next to him he then threw it on the counter instead of the plate and sold it to me gave me my change. Why bother coming here if you're going to have employees like this? If you dont like where you work quit bruh!!!! This isn't customer service. read more

My friends are jerks. Seriously, they're jerks. We went to La Piazza for dinner the other day before roller derby (I seriously may have had the best weekend of my life) and as we're waiting to be seated a girl comes up to me and says "Oh hey! How are you? I haven't seen you in like, a week!" ::laughs and walks away:: Everyone in my crew looked at me in disbelief. "you have friends OTHER than us?" Yes, jerks. I don't pine away waiting for my homies to call me. I do ish! I digress. This place was fun - it wasn't expensive, the wait staff (INCLUDING my mystery friend) was very nice - our waiter was the ish, he even hooked us up with biscotti after dinner and gave my JRO a meatball. My salad was great - I got the pecan salad with shrimp and the house salad looked delicious. In fact, the mushrooms in it WERE delicious. No one else at my table knows that cause I walked around sticking my fingers in all their meals, swipin them. That Good. My group can be a little loud, at times. They thought we were charming. They dont take resos, though, so if you have a group you may have to wait in the front - not a ton of room but they walk around with garlic knots and snacks and stuff, so if you're cheap you can use that as your app. Unless they catch on and yell at you - in that case, I didn't tell ya to do it. The meatball was good, as well, apparently. read more

Extremely disappointed with La piazza. While the food is always tasty and reliable, the customer service is beyond awful. My children are currently quarantining so we need to bring food in tonight. My wife and I order a baked ziti and salad to share. When we open the baked ziti it look like a side order that they charge $14.25 for. We had ask for extra cheese for a salad to which they charged 1.25, I normally would not have a problem with this, but when the extra cheese was in a teaspoon cup that was not acceptable. I called the restaurant to express my concerns to be only told everything is already portioned out and the manger hung up the phone. I really wish this establishment would have better customer service because the food is always good. My wife and I are currently still hungry after what should have been more than enough. read more

HOLD THE SIDE SALAD, PLEASE!!!! As a longtime Plainview/Old Bethpage resident, I've eaten at LaPiazza more times than I can count or remember. I only hope I can forget this time soon! While the pasta, pizza and main courses never disappoint, the side salad and general manager, Tony, need updating and/or replacement. The side salad comes with a dressing that contains so much artificial thickeners in it that you can stand a spoon up in it. Ugh!!!! Tony claims unconvincingly that the dressing is "homemade." Seriously, oil and vinegar don't defy gravity and aren't gelatinous and full of sugar in my home. What in God's name is in that salad dressing?!? Yuck!!!! After complaining about the salad, he had the great idea to send me back the same slimy iceberg lettuce (what respectable resturant even serves iceberg lettuce anymore?) and claim the slime was not really leftover dressing or rotten produce, but the "juice from two very tiny cherry tomatoes." The juice from tomatoes is pink water, not yellow oil in my home. If Tony can't get a simple side salad right or satisfy a loyal customer, I can only wonder what damage he will do to the restaurant's reputation given enough time and responsibility. Good luck Louis! read more

La Piazza is great the first three times you're there, but then you realize how over priced they are compared to some of the other smaller chains on Long Island that are just as good or better. For me I will continue to go here because of the proximity to my house, but wish they would drop their prices by $3/dish. read more

This was a go-to place for my in-laws for years and I will always have great memories from there. This is a busy place in a large strip mall in Plainview. The decor is "fancy pizzeria" but the food is really good. All the pastas, chicken & veal dishes that I've had our really good. The wine selection is meh but this is a place for good Italian food. Ample parking a plus but no reservations taken and all parties must be present to sit [ really really hate this policy in places]. I give it 4 stars only because of seating policy. read more

Great place, right in my backyard. What surprises me though is that people apparently travel far and wide to dine here (it's great don't get me wrong, but not the best place you'll ever eat). Pizza, pasta, and entrees are all good. Buffalo chicken pizza is exceptionally good (although I like Bella Vista's better which is half a mile down the road). Prepare to wait a bit for a seat during the normal dining hours. read more

3 words.... BUFFALO CHICKEN SLICE! Simply the best buffalo slice anywhere, and in fact, the best I've ever had. Their meals are very tasty too especially the gnocchi al pesto. The food is very fresh and always flavorful. I have never had a bad meal at La Piazza. A little on the expensive side but for good Italian food that can't be beat, it's worth it. Again, grab a buffalo chicken slice and good luck with the parking lot around lunch, it like all the other local lots here in Plainview, it's a pain in the butt. read more

This pizza is always yummy in my tummy. When I come back home to NY for a visit, I come to this shopping center (and brave the war zone they call a parking lot) and between La Piazza and Town Bagel, I shovel my face full of carby carbs topped with some form of cheese. Does it get better than that? No. I've had a bunch of other food over the years and it is mostly all decent. They have good soups, I like the minestrone and the straciatella when they have it on special. read more

I grew up right near here and thought it was a great spot, and upon returning after 10 years its still is. Great pizza, good chicken dishes and good pasta. Their chicken rolls and garlic knots are also pretty good. The last time I was there I got the Chicken Francese with a side of pasta with meat sauce and it was very good. Also a lot of times I will get the Penne E Gamberi and sub the shrimp out for chicken and it is great. It has a perfect light garlic sauce with a few veggies and is one of my favorites. A great spot for pizza and chicken rolls for lunch, or for a nice dinner as well. I do recommend take-out over eating in the restaurant as the place is nothing special and usually gets pretty packed due to its popularity. read more

Big fan of the whole wheat bar pies! It's like a personal pie that can be shared since they are filling after a few slices. The salad one has so much flavor you don't need to add dressing. The buffalo chicken one doesn't leave your mouth on fire because of the blue cheese sauce. read more

Our first time here , l want to say the food and service was amazing the restaurant is absolutely beautiful .So if you have not been here, I highly recommend this restaurant the owner Tom is outstanding and his help as well enjoy because we did and we will be back... read more
