Very overrated and overpriced. The service felt pretentious and unwelcoming, and seeing an employee's child stretched across the customer waiting seats playing on a phone was incredibly unprofessional. I paid $41.02 for a large two-topping pizza and one of the driest cheesecakes I've ever had. Then being prompted to tip 20% on a pickup order was the final straw. I'm honestly surprised this place has stayed popular in Mount Pleasant. The food and overall experience didn't come close to justifying the price. read more

One of my first ever reviews on Yelp was for La Pizzeria back in 2012... no surprise that it was five stars. Then in 2016 I wrote an update since I lived around the corner and would go all the time... still five stars. It's now been almost thirteen years since that first review, and even though I don't live around the corner, I still get giddy about the thought of picking up a pizza or stopping in for dinner at La Pizzeria. So of course, all these years later, La Pizzeria continues to get a resounding five stars from me. The staff is great and most of them have been there for many years which speaks to them running a great operation. My guy Eddie has been there as long as I can remember and he always has a kind word or a smiling face when I call or walk in. Every time I get a bite of their pizza I think why haven't I had this in so long and I vow to start going once a week. Going weekly would be detrimental to my waistline and my wallet, but my taste buds would never tire of that delicious first bite of delicious pizza. This is easily one of my most favorite places in town. read more

La Pizzeria continues to exude excellence & Italian hospitality. It's been around eight years since my previous visit.. shameful, I know. The quality food, presentation, service and ambiance continues to be outstanding. I will not leave it so long again. Excellent neighborhood restaurant!! read more

Went here for dinner tonight, as we wanted something close to the hotel. The four of us have ordered beer with and without alcohol, a coke and a sprite. The soft drinks came in 0.5l bottles which was unexpected, but good. Unfortunately the waitress spilled sprite over my napkin which can happen, but what I did not like is that she took my beer before it was empty. I really don't like this and therefore I took a star off. To eat we had 2x Pizza Promodoro, 1x Spaghetti Marinara and 1x Insalata Spinaci. Everything tasted good, the pizza could have more crust. We paid $96.35 w/o tip. I would have given 4 stars, but as said I took a star off due to taking my beer before it was empty. read more

Pizza was delicious ! One of the best I've had since been in Mount Pleasant. The sauce is very sweet and the crust is perfect. I'm definitely a place. I will come back to many times. read more

Best NY/NJ style pizza in Charleston. Small intimate restaurant with fantastic food and service. Been around for 20+ years and always greeted by Eddie & Laura. No reservations . Also good for takeout. Never a bad meal ! read more

Delicious pizza! Authentic Italian. Great service. Fun atmosphere. Dine-in or take out. Plenty of parking in strip mall.

Needing takeout that would allow me to catch a sunset on time, this place fit the bill. It was a tiny space for dine-in, but my food was fresh and ready at the promised time, and I got more of a welcome than I'd expected for a quick takeout. I had a delicious smell (mostly basil) wafting to me as I rushed to make my appointment with the sunset. The pizza didn't reinvent any wheels, being a thin crust that focused emphasis on the toppings. The cheese was rich and the basil strong. My salad with gorgonzola and roasted nuts was arguably more filling than the pizza, and came with enough dressing for three salads. The amount of food for the money wasn't a ton, but I was satisfied with my decision. read more

We had a lovely [wink] pre-Valentine's day dinner at La Pizzeria. We decided to go the day before V-Day to enjoy a shorter wait (about 15 minutes), fewer people, and better service. The host remembered our name from seating to exit (impressive!) and Sasha (server) was warm and attentive. We started out with the caprese salad and mozz sticks. We loved the Italian dressing so much we ordered an additional dressing "sidecar." Both of LP's entrees were a hit. The chicken parm was solid, served with penne, and had a sweet(er) sauce. The ravioli special was creamy and perfectly cooked al dente. Rather than the traditional Italian dessert, we ordered the moist chocolate cake and (you guessed it) loved it. Our main feedback would be to 1) have real (tearable) bread (versus little "croutonesque" pieces) and 2) to ask us/patrons before removing plates; we were dunking our bread in some extra sauces and dressings, blinked, and all the dippers were suddenly cleared. Yes, we shouted to get the young lady's attention (another server) but she was so quick to grab the dishes, already had her back turned towards us, and was sprinting away. Further, we were charged for two extra dressings even though the second (cleared) one was full/untouched. In general, we (and we suspect most LP patrons) like to feel welcome, *unrushed, and addressed directly (eye contact) when making any/all decisions. read more

Best Italian spot in Mount Pleasant. The pizza is absolutely fantastic and tastes so much fresher than other spots around here. Pasta dishes are also to die for. They can get very busy so you may have longer wait times but with that being said the service is incredible. read more

Pizza was awesome. Thin crust, cooked perfectly and toppings were spot on. Excellent wine list too.

Today is "Pi Day" and I wanted pizza. I asked my friend Owen who lives here for his recommendation on the best pizza in Mount Pleasant. Without hesitation, he said La Pizzeria is Italian style pizza. I told him that I had just returned from Napoli last month where I had pizza at the restaurant that invented margherita pizza https://www.yelp.com/biz/pizzeria-brandi-napoli?hrid=O3obg38llMaAt-0iJHP9PA and so the standards are going to be high. He said not to worry and that the owner is Italian and she doesn't speak much English. Okay, Owen. Let's see. (Oh, and I see good reviews from some of my Charleston Yelp buddies Amy Lauren S. https://www.yelp.com/biz/la-pizzeria-mount-pleasant?hrid=fAaHhFLdWkBf_32SwVHlLg and Scotty C. https://www.yelp.com/biz/la-pizzeria-mount-pleasant?hrid=TEaGXHxvqsec9LLtE4ocww.) Warmly greeted and seated immediately when I arrived at around 5:30 pm, a friendly waitress took my order and returned with my beer and a bowl of bread with olive oil. The bread was excellent. All good so far. Small caesar salad to start. Nice fresh greens, excellent croutons, delicious dressing. Is this fresh grated parmesan? I'm thinking not. Then the pizza arrives. I chose the San Gennaro, having had pizza at the famous Porta San Genarro https://www.yelp.com/biz/capasso-napoli?hrid=XwvTHOIKzYJx_1eINbZspg. Sausage, carmelized onions, green peppers. Presentation? Excellent. Hot, melted cheese. Charred edges. Nicely topped. How was it? Absolutely excellent. A little fresh red pepper on top and it was perfect. And as tribute, I ate with knife and fork like a proper Neapolitan. Molto delizioso! Perfect Pi Day pizza! [Review 19340 overall - 922 in South Carolina - 310 of 2023.] read more

We have bought pizzas to go for several years but decided to go inside and try out their menu. My husband and son both got the lasagna and i got the chicken marsala - we all three agreed the food was delicious! The portions are a tad bit on the small side but between the bread etc, we were full. They added a bit more decor to outside eating so i will have to find out if we can bring our dog for the next time. Staff was very attentive - not just one person attending to us so a family like feel. read more

What an amazing experience. Looking for pizza on a late rainy night. We stumbled upon La pizzeria, the prochuitto pizza and tiramisu was to die for. It reminded me of my visit to Italy.

I can't believe I forgot to post about this amazing dinner my good friend and I had at La Pizzeria in Mt. Pleasant back in November! We started off the meal by sharing their Caesar salad which is a huge portion with the most delicious dressing in the world (the pic doesn't do it justice). Yum. For our meals I got the linguini with clams and my friend got the Veal special with fusilli and we washed it down with a bottle of Impero Collection Montepulciano D'Abruzzo red wine. As always Lana and staff always make you feel welcome and like you are part of the family. If you haven't checked it out, you should. Would make a great "date night" place if you are lucky enough to have a date, lol. @mtp_lapizzeria read more

I ordered from La Pizzeria to-go for a birthday celebration, and it was absolutely delicious! The staff were easy to order with over the phone, the restaurant had a nice ambiance as well when I went to pick up the pizza. The pepperoni calzones are hands down my favorite - perfectly baked with just the right amount of cheesy goodness and pepperoni. The pizza is great too, especially for thin crust lovers - crispy and full of flavor. I also really appreciated the fresh marinara sauce; it was the perfect accompaniment to everything. Highly recommend for a tasty, satisfying meal, whether you're dining in or taking it to go! read more

So you're in Mt. Pleasant for the weekend and it's late -- late enough that a lot of restaurants are starting to close soon. Not really sure what to eat but you could always go for a slice (or two)? One restaurant, two words. La pizzeria. Nestled into the corner of a strip mall, inside this cute little restaurant is a cozy little front section adjacent to the register, stacked dessert case and the giant pizza oven you see as you walk in. I noticed they also have additional seating in another dining room to the right (though we chose to carry out vs dining in). As a lover of gourmet pizza, I always get excited when I see a sicilian or grandma type of pizza on the menu -- or anything thick, square cut, and with crispy edges. We tried to order online but quickly got stopped. One quick phone call later, we discovered that you can only place Sicilian pizza orders over the phone or in person because they only make a certain amount of those pizzas per day. Having never been here before I wasn't sure if this pizza would be large enough to adequately feed two pizza lovers without being hungry afterwards -- spoiler, alert: it was. The guy on the phone informed me that the pizza is 16 x 16 and this pizza was fairly giant. He was super helpful as a first time customer, explaining that we needed several boxes as even a large standard to go box would only fit about one slice of pizza. We went with the Pomodoro pizza (as pictured) which turned out into eight giant but equally delicious slices. It's not often when you increase the size of the pizza, the quality also increases at the same rate but this place nailed it. This particular pizza was a little pricy at about $28 before tax ($31 total) but considering the size you can definitely get several meals out of it. The photo doesn't do it justice because one slice of pizza is about the size of a person's forearm. This was the first visit but will not be our last. read more

This place has been in my list forever and never gotten a chance until recently. We went to celebrate my birthday with the family. We always ordered pizza to go, but it was time to sit down in this cozy place. We ordered the specials with fusilli pasta and sausage. The best was the pistachio cake to fill the hearts with happiness from Italy if I am not wrong. Need to go back soon. read more

We were seated for about 1 min before we asked if we were ready to order. It was my suggestion to go there. My sister had never been so she most certainly needed a little time to figure out what she wanted. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana. They put one slice of eggplant with sauce and cheese for $26. I would have never ordered that had I know I would get one slice and of eggplant. It was also very salty. The waitress was very pushy and took the dessert plate before my nephew was finished with his dessert. I felt rushed through out our visit . I will not be returning to this establishment. read more

Food is amazing, service is even more amazing, ambiance is like you are in Italy. From the front door to the kitchen, to the food and service, to the owner, it is a wonderful and unique experience. My family favorite place in Mount Pleasant. We call it our little piece of Italy in Charleston area. Lasagna is my favorite, but the pizza, seafood pasta, and all desserts are so good, especially the Tiramisu and profiteroles. read more

Tried this place out this week since it's highly recommended online and is authentic. We tried the burrata, prosciutto pizza, margarita pizza and a bottle of moscato. The service was not the greatest. Loved our waiter but had to wait a long time to get a seat and then we found out we were taken off the list so they said they would add us to the list again... waited again. It was a busy Friday so I get it. The only problem being it's 30 degrees out and no where to wait inside so after 40 min of waiting outside we couldn't feel our hands lol. Then we ordered food at about 6:20 pm. Our waiter said they have amazing oil that comes with the complimentary bread. And then we never received bread for over 30 minutes. Once we got our bread, we finally got to eat at 7:35 pm. I don't think I have ever waited over an hour for two small pizzas. The waiter apologized and said they ran out of dough for the first time? The ambiance is very cozy! Kind of a hole in the wall place from the outside but has a nice inside. The food was good, not amazinggg and not worth a 2 hour wait unfortunately. Definitely worth a try but service could be better. read more

My husband and I discovered the most extraordinary Italian pizzeria Stuckey away in a corner of Northcutt Plaza in Mount Pleasant off Coleman Blvd. we had been looking for a nice restaurant in which to have a wonderful celebratory birthday meal, but due to enjoying sights around Charleston we found our intended restaurant closed. We looked down the strip and saw La Pizzeria, and it was love at first bite. We met the owner who went out of her way to make sure we were well-cared for. She and her staff were professional et very personable. We were made to feel as though we were simply joining a family meal around the table in Italy-even though our order was takeout. Through our conversations we discovered that all the ingredients they use in food preparation are imported directly from Italy and traditionally made. Although the name is La Pizzeria and the two varieties of pizza we received were the absolute best we have ever eaten. The lasagna was to die for. We give this restaurant our highest possible recommend, and we will make it a point to dine here each time we visit Charleston. Thank you La Pizzeria for the delicious food experience. read more

There is everything to love about La Pizzeria. Upon walking into to the restaurant, you would not know it was situated in a shopping plaza. The inside is what you imagine a quaint Italian restaurant in the middle of Naples would be like. We started the meal with a bang by ordering and splitting a Bruschetta dish on the daily special menu. The toast was topped with chopped tomatoes, small, cubed pieces of mozzarella cheese, fresh basil and a beautifully spiral slice of Prosciutto. Almost like a souped-up slice of a margarita pizza but served on crispy toasted bread. I love the fact that you can order single slice of pizza. You can still have pizza while ordering other dishes, and each person can order the slice they want. OK, so we both wanted, ordered and enjoyed a slice of margarita pizza. The slice is large, served piping hot, on a thin, very crispy crust, Love the crust The wife ordered and absolutely loved a pasta dish that was also on the daily special menu. This dish consisted of Freshly made, velvety smooth Fettuccine, with Sautéed clams (sill in the shell) in a white wine sauce I ordered a past dish with meatballs, then to meatballs. in tomato sauce, than I topped off by ordering and adding a side of meatballs. Just a fantastic dish Now to the dessert. The very first thing you see upon entering the restaurant is a large (tall) round display of incredible looking dessert. Once you looked at these plates it isn't likely you will pass when it is time for the sweet course. Although we were both stuffed, we had to try the Tiramisu. This Tiramisu isn't anything like we ever seen or tasted. A nice square piece that sits tall on the plate. The cake was bursting with flavor, with an orange taste that hits you in the face, (in a good way), which we are guessing came from an orange liqueur. The Tiramisu was so fantastic that we had to order another dessert dish even though we were more stuffed than before. This time we went with profiterole dish that had 2 pastries, one covered and chocolate, the other covered in a white vanilla cream. While not as good as the Tiramisu, this was still a very solid dish Over all an outstanding meal, and one of our new favorite restaurants read more
