We went here because it was the highest rated pizza place in Springfield, and now I know why! It was also near our ghost tour start. WOW! I overheard the manager say the woman responsible for the food quality was from Sicily. Wow! So delicious! The boyfriend and I each ordered our own pizzas, I ordered the one with the pesto sauce, goat cheese, balsamic drizzle.... So good! Super friendly service (order at the counter, they bring it to you). Fun, local sodas to try also. Yay!! read more

Traveling through and decided to stop for a sit down dinner and received phenomenal food and service! The pizza was delicious with fresh ingredients, but we did wish the crust wasn't as soft (which is why they would have received 4.5). We got the fried risotto balls and biancaneve for appetizers and were very satisfied! As others have mentioned, we walked in and saw signs that said order up front and then they told us to pick a table before we ordered so that was confusing but definitely not a big deal to us. Overall we would go again and recommend it to people who visit/live in Springfield. read more

Pizza was delicious!!! We also had pasta that was really good. The restaurant is laid back and calm. The staff is friendly, but not overly involved, which I appreciate! You walk in, grab a menu and order at the counter. The quality of food is more upscale than that feels, but with staffing issues, I feel they have found a way to meet customers needs, without delays. I thought that was great!! Bathroom was clean, as was the restaurant. Loved it and Would go back! read more

You walk in and order at the counter. Staff were friendly. Service was quick. My entree was linguini with Alfredo sauce snd shrimp which was very tasty. My hubby had the seafood risotto which was ok. I did not care for the olive oil for dipping the bread tasted like flowers. Just ate the bread plain which was good. read more

Great pizzas and many gluten free options both in pizza crust and pastas. Ordered two nights in a row and everyone enjoyed their food!

This was a cozy local place that was perfect for a quiet date night feel. The pizza we ate was delicious - there were several more pizzas on their menu I want to return to try. And who doesn't enjoy tiramisu to finish up a lovely dinner. I would prefer ordering from the table instead of a counter before you are seated, and parking was not as convenient. It's close to the underground lot but that closes at 7:00 so not available. The street parking we found was more than a block away. I both want to promote them and hope they don't get too busy so I can enjoy this quiet place I've discovered. It's perfect for me. read more

Good pizza, good pasta, good wine, good value! Friendly employees. Casual surroundings ... a little too casual to be comfortable, but it was fine. My double espresso was also a little small ... and perhaps there should have been a little more chicken in my pasta. But otherwise, near flawless! I would absolutely be a regular if I lived anywhere nearby. Really very enjoyable. read more

Not much is open on Sundays in Springfield, but here was and had good reviews so we came for lunch. All three of us ordered pizzas and shared a slice with the others, so I was able to try the fig and prosciutto, margherita, and vesuvio. I enjoyed all of them, but would only order the latter two again. There wasn't anything wrong with the fig and prosciutto, I just thought the other two were better. I also had a strawberry soda that was okay but also not worth ordering again. You order at the counter and your food gets brought out, so there wasn't the traditional service. But someone came by to see if we were enjoying our meals, which was nice. This is a good choice if in the area. read more

Oh my goodness was the food delicious! I last visited this restaurant pre-Covid and our group had such TERRIBLE SERVICE I've never returned. Gave them a second chance tonight since they have made it all this time. Food was OUTSTANDING! However, I was taken aback by having to order at the counter. And then, after our appetizers they forgot our pizza. Multiple excuses were given, but no retribution was made. We watched pizza after pizza be delivered to tables who ordered after us. We ended up taking it to go and being late for our event at the Hoogland down the street. Very DISAPPOINTED to have bad service yet again. I guess because the food is so good we will see if anyone delivers it. read more

Great crust!! Fresh ingredients and a super clean restaurant. The staff was friendly and attentive. read more

La Piazza - Sausage, pepperoni and banana peppers - Pizza Near Me - Springfield, Illinois

I almost gave this place 0 stars, because the first 4 times I visited I was unable to order what I wanted or unable to get waited on. I had spoken to the owner before, really nice guy and prides himself on serving authentic Italian food & specifically pizzas, so I had to try the food before I posted...well I finally had one and man they nailed it. Authentic, crisp, light, flavorful, all of the above. These are authentic brick oven Italian pies, and worth the wait. Service can be a little slow, but I give him a lot of respect for staying open late on weeknights and Sundays while the rest of downtown is dead. Try this place, save the trip to Brooklyn and eat this pizza, you will not regret it. read more

Their web site says they have Vegan Cheese as an option. I call and an Indian lady answers. On 3 separate occasions, I request "vegan cheese." She says yes yes. I pay $15 for the pizza and halfway back to school, I open the box and it looks like real cheese. I call back and a man answers and says they've never had vegan cheese. I explain that it's on the menu on their official web site which has their phone number and address and that I told the lady vegan multiple times and she said yes. He said "nope never had it sorry bye." read more

Thought we would check out someplace different this weekend. Had a great pizza and a salad. They have some local brews available as well as non alcoholic drinks including espresso. Great food and nice atmosphere. Owner is super nice! You can bring drinks from Terra Ferment or order pizza and they will deliver food to there there too. So nice to see businesses supporting one another! read more

La Piazza - Local beer selection we tried! - Pizza Near Me - Springfield, Illinois

Was kinda taken back by the way you look at the menu and order and then you find a seat and they bring it out to you! My pasta was not fully cooked. Bread they served was good. Limited seating. read more

So far we've only had the pizza and often (but not always) as takeout. They do a great selection of pretty authentic Italian-style pizza--delicate crust, range of toppings (i,e. not all tomato sauce & moz). We got a salad once--the take out portion was kind of small, but good ingredients & dressing. Wine by the glass or carafe was fine. Super pleasant service--feels like a small family place. Feels casual but comfortable (I like the combo)--and good site on 6th street w/a view of street life. read more

The staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. We had a group of 19 people. We ordered the day before and when we came in, they seated us in a private party room and brought our food out pretty quickly. The food was delicious and not to mention the price was great! read more

Came during the lunch hour and so glad we came in! The service is impeccable and I hear its a restaurant where its common to see the owner greeting folks. It comes with the benefits of quick service of a fast food joint but all the flavors and ambience of a sit-down restaurant. Ordered the Alfredo Linguini and Lamb Gyro. During lunch you can do the pick 2 for 10$ so its a great value for the amount of food you can get. I was satisfied with the meal would just add to prepare yourself on the amount of cream in the Linguini. I recommend adding on some protein when you order! The pita bread and sauce hit the spot. Looking forward to going back and trying out some pizza! read more

We were in town for youth hockey and wanted to try a local spot for some pizza. Our hotel was close and yelp had some good reviews. Short of it, we ordered a couple pizzas which were great. A couple things to note: 1. If eating in, you order at the register then they give you a number so you can go seat yourself. 2. If you want to order to go, I suggest calling them first and making the order. We were a bit confused to start, and decided to simply order the pizzas to go since the hotel was so close. After ordering (and providing my name) we sat to the side, but still in view, to wait. After 30min of sitting (and both servers seeing us waiting) I had to walk up to the same register attendee who acted like he had never seen us before. Once I asked for the status of our food, he goes back and brings it out to us. The pizzas were warm, but barely. So they had been ready for awhile. Again, the pizza was good. Everyone seemed nice. Id come back to try it again now knowing how this place works. The other food going to tables also looked good. read more

The person who took my order was kind. It did take a while for the pizza to be ready but I was offered a free drink during the wait. The pizza was very tasty. I really enjoyed it. read more

If you're looking for delicious and genuine Italian cuisine that won't break the bank, this is place to go in Springfield. I found this place because it is within walking distance of the Abraham Lincoln Doubletree hotel. It has a very warm family atmosphere. I was here with five other people, four of them visiting from outside of the country and who were looking for good Italian food. For appetizers, we had the shrimp scampi which was very flavorful. We also had freshly baked bread that was soft and went well with the olive oil. The main courses varied; some had the lasagna while others had the traditional carbonara pasta and the mushroom ravioli. I had the monthly special, salmon carbonara pasta. Everything tasted awesome and you could tell that it was made with love. My friends were very impressed with the wine selection and enjoyed a red wine from Italy to go with their meal. As an extra treat, the chef herself (she's from Sicily) came out to greet us and treated us with freshly made cannoli. The owner and the server were super cool as well and really took pride in making sure that we had an excellent experience. I'm not sure when I'll be back in Springfield again, but when I do, I'm definitely coming back here and trying the pizza. read more

The owner and staff are very friendly. The pizza was amazing! Wish I lived closer to be able to come back more often. This would hands down be our favorite place. read more

Great pizza Everyone very kind and fast service Loved the Italian ambiance!!! Will return ! read more

My family and I had lunch there today. Great service, and the food was delicious. The lunch specials are a great deal and you will be filled up. read more

SO glad I stopped in! I chose the 'pick two' for $10 lunch special, which included an entree, salad, and fountain drink. My food - smoked salmon over bow tie pasta and a berry/spinach salad - was delivered promptly to my table, and had the added bonuses of warm crusty bread, dipping oil, and grated parmesan. Everything was delicious; it was an excellent lunch with great service for a bargain price. I didn't even have to hassle with parking because I just walked the few blocks from the Lincoln Visitor Center where I was parked anyway. read more

Excellent food and service. We were referred to this restaurant for lunch yesterday and it was awesome!!! Got the berry salad and spaghetti. Perfect!!! And the customer service was excellent! Highly recommend. read more

Have you tried La Piazza yet? It is amazing and a great addition to downtown Springfield. I have had the pizza, and lasagne, both were perfection. Staff are polite, proactive, helpful and kind. read more

My only regret is not trying this place sooner! I hope they never close! Truly the first time I've had authentic Italian - absolutely incredible. The food is absolutely incomparable - I highly recommend the Napoli pizza - every component is perfection and balanced. The cannoloni was also delicious and buttery. The bread with cheese and sauce for an appetizer is delicious - my husband raves about it. We also got the Tiramisu (yum!) and the blueberry cheesecake (pretty good but kind of grainy). Michael and the other fella working the front was great and personable and friendly. Cute little place - you do have to order at the counter then find a seat. There isn't a lot of seating (most was reserved). I do wish they had homemade iced tea. Overall, this place is 100/100 10/10 5/5 DELICIOUS! We will happily return and hopefully soon! read more

Very nice . The pizza felt like real Italy . I prefer New York style but real Italian pizza is nice. Spaghetti was great. Phenomenal theming. Nice staff. Somewhat reasonable prices too. Definitely not price gaugers like lots of pizza places nowadays read more

Ate here 2/3 nights visiting Springfield. The service was amazing--the staff were so friendly and hospitable. We tried five different pizzas and the cannolis. Eccellente! You can't go wrong. read more

The food portions for pasta were small. The ambiance is lacking, and you grab your drink out of a fridge. That should've been my sign. The service was poor. Yes, they brought our food out, but all four of us were served at separate times with no smile, no thank you, no you're welcome, no talking at all. Everyone looked sad. read more

They have probably the best value for lunch in the whole downtown area. I worked downtown for a couple weeks and ate a majority of the places and their pasta specials were the best value for the money. You got the most food for around ten dollars compared to the neighboring places read more

This place knows pizza! It was thin, perfectly crispy and just the right amount of burnt to give it a depth of flavor that you look for in good pizza. We got the margherita and a pesto goat cheese pizza to share. I enjoyed them both but am a sucker for a well made margherita. You will not be disappointed! The staff was extremely kind and welcoming, kind even after we stayed a tiny bit passed close. read more

Great restaurant great food great service. Highly recommend. Great place to eat. Everyone is always friendly.

My family and I drove into Springfield on a Friday night. I called La Piazza To see if they had in house dining During the COVID-19 pandemic and also to see if they were busy. The restaurant is walking distance from our hotel. Not only did they have the dining room open, our table was ready when we got there. While we were there we were treated like we were royalty. They assisted me with the WiFi since I needed to be online. Just the overall service and the excellent food will make me want to frequent La Piazza every time I come to Springfield. Darrin read more

This place is a gem. Very casual. Not expensive. They do a good business with takeout pizza so don't let the quieter dining room fool you. The bread looked and smelled fresh and gorgeous although I didn't eat any despite being offered a lovely plate of complementary bread with accoutrements. Had a salad and meatballs and the food was well crafted and plated purposefully. Served by ?HS/college?students over summer months and they were all professional and great. I tried about 4 desserts (not regular cannoli) and they were all marvelous. Pop in and give this place a try! read more

Great addition to downtown Springfield! Very easy to order vegan or vegetarian here. I had the marinara pizza and it was wonderful! I will definitely be back. read more

Great food and service.....located in downtown Springfield. Wanna try the cannoli on our next visit.

Great high quality pizza and options. Try the fig pizza. Excellent side options and Italian drinks and desserts.

Food is top notch - don't love ordering at counter or limited seating ... in the end you are there for the food.

Great pizza. Mixed between a thin and traditional crust. Was cooked to perfection. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Clean and has inside and outside seating. Would highly recommend. read more
