My favorite pizza place. It is so good and light. The Alfredo pizza was so good and I can't wait to go back to try their pasta

Pizza was delicious! Yes, they do have a gluten free pizza crust and I believe they have some gluten free pasta options. I believe it was the owner who was checking on tables at the end of our meal. Very friendly and interested how our meal was and what we ordered. They only complaint I have is the waiter didn't check on us after he brought our food. We had to ask another waitress to refill our water and she did quickly and happily. He could have just been having a bad day. We will be back! read more

Great addition to downtown! Great authentic Italian food. Love sitting outside. The people are so nice too. Our server seemed untrained but I think it was her first day. read more

Very good food...authentic,; most important delicious. Exceptional value. Friendly staff and management. Jlh

During the summer I got lunch from here every week. It's totally worth it! All of the staff is amazing. The food is so good. I love their outdoor seating. It's even great to order from if you are at one of the bars downtown to order from! read more

This place is great! Friends visiting from out of town wanted to eat close to hotel. Wanted to try something new. Stopped in - and was very happy with their friendly service and awesome food. Will be sure to be back! read more

From the food to the service we were very pleased! We had been told by several people to check this place out and finally did on Saturday. Amazing! There was a man, not sure if he was the owner or not, but he greeted us as we walked in and checked on us a few times, even striking up conversation with us about what brought us in. He shook our hands as we left and thanked us for coming in. He was really seemed very sincere and grateful that we stopped in. Our waitress was super too. Very sweet and patient. We will definitely be back!! read more

Driving around the country and stopped to see the sights of Springfield, Illinois and stumbled across this place. If you have a favorite Italian restaurant in your hometown and miss it while you are away then this place is for you ( if you don't have a great place for Italian where you live then move here ). Friendly service and a great selection. Lunch for us was calamari, a pizza with toppings of our choice, and a glass of chianti ( ok, two glasses - don't judge ). Everything was just great and we highly recommend a visit to La Piazza Cuccina Italiana. read more

This place is rad. We ate here every day we were in town. The pasta dishes are really good. The pizza is good too, but go with the pasta. Fresh bread. Good customer service. read more

We stopped by last Thursday for an early dinner. We had the cheese balls, I believe my wife had the Trapanese and I had a small pizza. Food was amazing and every single employee in the restaurant made sure we had everything we needed. We were even treated to a tour of their new party room by an incredibly kind young man. What a great experience...... food was great and the service truly made us feel appreciated. No doubt we will be back. read more

Ate here last night. Wow what great food, service, and prices. Wine/Salad/and dinner was 22 bucks. Will definitely come back to this place!!

Came here with my partner yesterday and the food was absolutely fantastic! Ambience is extremely nice and chill, it is a bit confusing when you enter for the first time because you order at the register and then get a number and then sit down at a table, other than that the appetizers we got (The meatballs with ricotta and the fresh baked bread were absolutely the best meatballs we have ever eaten!) Our entrees were good as well! We ordered the rotini with pesto and the chicken Alfredo, the pesto was a thousand times better than the Alfredo, but we will definitely be back! read more

I was in town for business and was in the mood for pizza. La Pizza was a great place that had terrific pizza! I also have their Mediterranean salad which was also very good.

This place is so good!! Service was great and the food was really good....you can tell it is homemade. Recommend this place if you're in the area. read more

It was actually past their closing time by a few minutes when we walked up. We arrived from the west coast so we were on a different time zone. The graciously offered to make us a pizza to go. It morphed into having us sit and serving drinks. Fortuitously- they had someone back out of a pizza order - perfect for us! It was really good- freshly baked pizza. A win- win all around! The were so nice to us. I recommend them!! read more

Besides the food being delicious, the thing that stood out was the customer service. The whole staff was professional and engaging, but not to the point of being annoying. I had the Linguini Alfredo and the sauce was very tasteful and the consistency was ideal. The person I was with had the Gyro and she really enjoyed it. read more

We had a super long work day and we're so excited did some food and to relax, and this was the PERFECT place to do that. Bread was warm and delicious, pizza was incredible! The atmosphere was so relaxing and laid back. The whole staff was welcoming and made you feel at home. Apparently there's an Airbnb above as well. So many good options and the place made you feel like family gathered for dinner. Absolutely wonderful! read more

Always fresh for the short wait. Interesting Alfredo has plenty of pepper in it. Pizza dough has a nice crunch and chew to it.

I tried margarita and marinara pizzas - I liked both. I loved the dough/breading of neapolitan style the most. Very nice people, and I would come back. read more

We went there for lunch after visiting the Lincoln museum based on a local recommendations. The lunch menu is great! And my son loved his pasta and ice cream, he already asked to go back. Very friendly service, good food and reasonable price. We went back for an ice cream and then for dinner because it is very good and they are really nice! read more

Nope! Really wanted to like this place based on the reviews, but the service was horrible and the food was mediocre. Our group is pretty easy going, but when you have to ask for plates, silverware, wine, to go containers, and the check......Enough is enough! read more

Great food. Grateful people. Excited to have an authentic Italian place so close to home.

This is definitely my new favorite restaurant in town, the pesto pasta is the best I have had ever. My boyfriend got a slice of pepperoni pizza and alfredo and also agreed it was the best in Springfield, not to mention how friendly and helpful the staff is! read more

Very friendly, food and wine excellent! Sat outside with our dog, great, but the inside is what you would expect for an Italian restaurant, very pretty decor. Prices are reasonable too.!Definitely will be back here! read more

Absolutely delicious!! I had the cannelloni and my husband had Vesuvio pizza. Wonderful environment. Very clean, very friendly, very enjoyable experience. read more

I visited here with my wife Sunday night as we were passing through Springfield. We shared a pizza along with some pasta and salad and they provided us with some bread to go along with it and while I'm not particularly crazy about Italian food we both greatly enjoyed everything we had ordered. The inside was clean and we were warmly greeted at the door. Staff was friendly and pleasant to chat with. The sauces are made in-house and the bread was served warm and was an instant hit for us. Of particular note was their pesto- one of the dishes we ordered was the Fusilli Al Pesto and myself, again not a huge fan of Italian, would rate this as one of if not my favorite basil pestos. The wife mentioned that it was probably due to it being a milder pesto than most and I'm inclined to agree. She's a pesto lover and enjoyed it as well though I could see some people being disappointed with the pesto instead. Other reviews here mentioned confusion and frustration with seating and ordering and we had noted this and it all made sense when we visited- the place is set up to order at the counter but they'll gladly seat you at a table as they did with us. That being our only real complaint our visit was a great experience and we will likely visit again if we're ever passing through the area. read more

So delicious! We had the ravioli and the pizza with goat cheese, pesto, onions and peppers. Both had salads that were so fresh and homemade blood orange dressing-reasonably priced too! Yummo read more

Had a really good meal at La Piazza last night. It was my first time to this unassuming spot just north of Maldaner's and I would definitely go back. Had the calamari appetizer and enjoyed the fact that the breading was light and you could taste the squid. Spilt a pizza with eggplant and garlic and the crust was nice and the flavor was excellent. Was not in the mood for meat, but it looked like they had some interesting pizzas on the menu. My father had the linguini Alfredo and it was excellent. That's always a risky order but his dish was well-prepared. The only miss was the cannoli. Not terrible, but the shell was a little tough. They had a rainbow cake that looked great and will be my dessert order next time. Service was friendly. I recommend La Piazza if you're in the mood for casual Italian in downtown Springfield. read more

Stopped in late Wednesday after class during a snowstorm, and we were so lucky they stayed open! We had several pizzas and a s as lad and everything was fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back! read more

Tried this place for the first time with my family (8 of us plus a baby!) while on vacation. The staff was super friendly and helpful, the meals came out quickly and were delicious! The pesto was the only thing we tried that wasn't "spectacular" but it wasn't the worst we've had either. Thanks so much for a lovely afternoon and early dinner read more

So we've heard about this place and drove by more times than I can count. Finally decided to give it a try. Had to get curbside pickup since we're going through the Covid19 shutdown. Was greeted immediately and chatted the entire time I waited for food. He even carried everything out for me. We had pepperoni pizza, linguini alfredo and a house salad. Everything was amazing! I can't say enough good things about this place. We're already talking about when we will be going back. read more

Walked in with a large group of kids and parents. Everyone was wonderful. Offered suggestions to get the best value as well as a couple of desserts. Good pizza slice, soup, and sandwiches! read more

Not much open due to COVID, and we stumbled on this place. Such a happy accident! It doesn't look like much, but, oh my goodness, the food was wonderful, real Italian cooking. Our table was right by a large screen that ran YouTube videos of places in Italy, which made me sad because I wanted to BE there! read more

I really have no complaints. Had the Vesuvio pizza, was delicious. Wife had the Margherita, also delicious with fresh mozzarella. Waiter checked up on us regularly and co-owner Mike asked if we found things to our liking. I'd say yes. Clean, good food, no wait for seating. read more
