Family owned restaurant (they also have one in Calistoga) in quaint and oft-overlooked St Helena. Napa gets the fame for sharing a name with the valley, but there's a couple other locales that are cuter, quieter, and just as a nice experience in wine country. This place has very friendly and helpful service, clean bathrooms, nice atmosphere, and comfortable booth seating. Upstairs there's more seating. The outdoor seating on the balcony! would be an awesome place to replenish from wine tasting and plan the rest of the day to other wineries while you watch the Wine Train roll by. If you choose to give a thumbs-up or not, I hope you found my review helpful! read more

When we left Safari West we need an easy place to eat with kids. They had good service. We ordered spaghetti and meats, pizza, a house salad and fish and chips. The spaghetti is a large portion with good meatballs. It comes with cheese bread and definitely enough for two people to split. The pizza was delicious and the creat had the perfect crunch. Fish and chips were just ok. There was 8 of us and we couldn't sit together. It is a small restaurant. They also charge extra for ranch for the pizza. Over a good place of you need something easy and low key. read more

La Prima Pizza is a solid spot for great pizza in St. Helena. The food is always consistent, which is something I really appreciate. I always go for the Aldo's with a side of ranch--such a good combo. The crust has a nice chew, the toppings are fresh, and the flavors are well-balanced. The only reason I'm giving it four stars instead of five is that while the pizza is excellent, there's always room for a little extra something to make it truly outstanding. But if you're looking for a reliably good pizza in the area, this is the place to go. read more

I love their pizza yummy. They are always great with special request. I get my parents 1 pizza at least every other week.

Excellent service ! Pizza was really really good! The top their pizzas off with tons of your choice toppings. No shortage with that. Really nice place with a balcony that over looks the street. Overall a dang good pace to snag a pie and a few beers! read more

La Prima Pizza - Combo Special Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Saint Helena, California

Horrible. Ordered chicken strips and fries. Cost 24 bucks. Which seemed really steep.Then after waiting 10 minutes thinking my food was almost done the host comes up to me and says I'm sorry we don't have chicken strips anymore. My first thought was than why is it still on your menu. The cooks weren't following food safety procedures, they were eating and also handling food with no gloves on. So I just asked for my money back and now have no lunch. I'll never come back. Should have went to Gilwoods cafe instead. Lesson learned. read more

Really bad costumer service, they never answer the phone, they even hang up on you, when you go in the give you a really nasty face, it's like they don't like their job, it's feels like they are just there for the paycheck, I hope you guys do something about this Nasty customer service read more

As a local, being charged 25 dollars for one of the most mediocre cheese pizzas I have ever had is insulting. I wanted to give them another chance after not ordering from them for years. I would still rather drive the 50 minutes round trip to Napa to get a little Caesars for less than half the price. Pizza was not hot, crust/dough is boring and flat. Don't waste your money here, Station pizza in St. Helena is far superior to this load of disappointment. I have been here for more than ten years and I don't think this place will ever change. read more

this place is awful. called the St Helena place to get pizza for take out. when I got there they told me to go pick it up in Calistoga. never ordering again from here! read more

Ordered some pizza here and to my surprising, it was a really good pizza. I don't know what it was, but the cheese and the crust really made it for me. Cheese had flavor, the crust was crispy enough and also had flavor. Definitely must give this place a chance! read more

Pizza is fair, wouldn't come back for it. Service is good. Nothing too special. Maybe come try for yourself.

Interesting place, kind of small, I chose to do take out, but I did notice there was a second dining area on the roof with a balcony. Honestly I wasn't really that hungry when I walked in, but when I opened the door, I immediately smelled the pizza cooking in the back and already my mouth started watering. They have a sort of small menu with a sort of bland atmosphere, but they do have pretty decent staff. I called in my order before hand, and within five or ten minutes, the food was ready. (Of course, the place was empty at the time, so they weren't busy) This place was actually recommended to my by my friends and I'm glad they did! This was one of the best pizzas I have ever had! read more

La Prima Pizza - the entrance to the restaurant - Pizza Near Me - Saint Helena, California

I live here in St. Helena and have been coming here for over a decade, because the food is great, but I have noticed an uptick in customer service lately over the past few months. Today I realized that the "front of house" Ernesto (Ernie) has really made a difference over the course of the past few months in our at least weekly interaction with this business. I told him in person today but wanted to ensure that management knows. read more

Disappointing!!! Recommended by many... but when I went, I was not impressed. I ordered a few hours ahead, and showed up just before. My order wasn't ready, but didn't wait long. The staff was a little bit odd. The kids in the back were all goofing around. I got a medium Chicken Garlic pizza and an order of garlic toast. Garlic toast- no flavor, surely forgot the garlic! Just cheese. And not even hot when I got it. Asked for marinara to dip- eh. Pizza - tasted like mayo for sauce. Only had chicken and cheese. onions tossed on the top. I'll bet they forgot to put the onions on before they cooked it, so they threw them on after. They were raw! And over powered the rest of the pizza, which was flavorless without them. Had hoped for something amazing. :/ read more

Karla greeted me at the front counter before she took my order. I didn't have my food yet but I can tell it will be delish. The atmosphere was great. It was chill and relaxing. Just the feel I needed right after work. I was watching X-Men on their T.V. So cool. Anyway, Karla greeted me a good bye and I was off to go. If you any of you guys are looking for great service. This is your place to go!Peace and Love. read more

Last week I stumbled upon La Prima because the girl at the front desk of El Bonita recommended it to me. They were one of only a few places open late in town, so I went in and enjoyed a glass of red while my pizza was being made. Because it was near closing, they were only offering pizza but I had my eye on the Big Family Salad. The extremely nice young man said he could go ahead and make it for me. Yay! We got to talking and I found out his name was Ernie, the son of the owners. He was so friendly and professional. It was very clear that he was proud of his work and really cared about the restaurant. I enjoyed talking to Ernie about Yelp and the restaurant biz. Anyway, when I got back to my motel room with the pizza - a combo with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions and bell peppers - and salad, I was very pleasantly surprised. This was by far the best pizza I've ever had!! The crust was perfect: crispy but not too thin. It was cooked perfectly. And then the salad! Fresh iceberg lettuce, fresh tomatoes, beets, and a huge mound of cheddar cheese and perhaps the best Ranch dressing (aside from my homemade) that I've ever had! I wanted to drink it! The portion of the salad and dressing was very generous! My salad and pizza that night was my dinner then my lunch and dinner the next day. With my glass of wine, 2 Sprites, a large salad & large pizza, my bill was $50 before tip. I fully intended to return before leaving St Helena 5 days later. Well, on our last night in Napa, we just had to get that pizza one last time. This time, Ernie my young new friend, was not in, but his dad Aldo was. Not as chatty as his son, but very nice and efficient. This time we got a veggie pizza with white and green onions, mushrooms & black olives. A medium pizza cost only $22 before tip. I'm not kidding when I say that I would literally drive back to St. Helena from San Rafael just for their Big Family Salad and that excellent pizza! See you soon, Ernie! You are a gem and your parents must be proud of you! read more

I was really excited to try this place but honestly way overpriced for what you are getting and underwhelming!

It was a cracker of a pizza. Burnt and one bite out of the slice the rest was the cracker no enjoyment. read more

La Prima Pizza - The menus - Pizza Near Me - Saint Helena, California

Good pizza. great crust and lots of toppings. I order out a lot.

I have gotten pizza from La Prima for more than 30 years now, and this past time on Labor Day I ordered two pizzas for my nursing staff and myself, and there was something way off with the dough. It was like frozen pizza dough, no rise and no color, and it was very sad to see. Perhaps they changed the recipe or now just order them pre-made but it was inedible in my opinion. read more

placed an order tonight with 45 min left before they closed. Thinking I called the Calistoga one but I called St. Helena one. hahaha Placed an order w a nice young man that was super chill and very very accommodating. By far the best service I've gotten at any pizza spot. We ended up going to St. Helena but for some odd reason I closed out of maps and picked the Calistoga location and it was Turing us around lol poor guy had to wait for us after they been closed FOOD was great combo (med pizza) Personal salad He guy was hands-down amazing, if the owner see this please let him know we need nore hard working cats out here. He deserves some love. Thank-you! read more

I have to say I'm not one to leave bad reviews on any restaurant but I had to today, my family of 4 went to La Prima because I used to love it years ago and I wanted my daughters to try it. From the beginning the girl taking our order was not very friendly, you have to order before you sit down, I had to ask where to get the drinks because she didn't offer any info, no thank you nothing. She was also the one that brought us the food and she would literally drop the drinks, food etc on the table and we would say thank you and she would just walk off without even looking at us. I wish they would allow to tip after the fact because I gave her a pretty good tip for the service we received, we thought we had ordered buffalo wings but the wings were plain and she gave us bbq sauce on the side, we also had a Hawaiian pizza which was ok, but for $30 I was expecting more. All in all we paid over $100 for plain wings, an ok Hawaiian pizza, a small bbq chicken pizza that my husband took one bite and said it tasted like little Caesar's pizza, one pitcher of beer and 1 soda + tip. We will not be going there again mostly because we felt like the worker we dealt with could care less about us when there's so many other places in Saint Helena that make us feel welcome and the food is way better. read more

This pizzeria is what Wifey grew up with which happens to be one of her all time favorite spots for pizza and every time we come back to St.Helena, we have to get a pizza. I guess its the same for me and Leonard's Malassadas and Liliha's Chantilly Cake. It's a pretty good tasting pizza, and is a favorite spot among the locals as well that they have expanded and now have other shops in the Napa Valley. if you're craving other things, La Prima also sells pastas. sandwiches, burgers, salads, and appetizers as well. Prices are decent and the staff is always nice which are among the reasons locals and tourists keep coming back again and again...ALOHA!!! YELP 365 CHALLENGE-(347/365) "Hometown Pie" read more

5 stars because the pizza is by far my favorite, however customer service is a hit or miss. The last time we went, there were two young girls at the front taking orders; they were arguing and saying curse words here and there to each other. It honestly just made me super uncomfortable and mostly since I had my nieces with me. We'll probably just continue to order takeout vs eating there. read more

La Prima Pizza - Me watching the NFL games at the prima having a good time - Pizza Near Me - Saint Helena, California

Pizza tasted like an expensive hot pocket. Crust tasted like saltine crackers.

If you yelp search for a pizza delivery spot when you're in St. Helena, chances are, La Prima Pizza will be on the top of the list. However, delivery hours aren't what you expect so inquire before placing your order. The staff is helpful and are eager to answer your questions. Call LaPrima if you're trying to get a quick bite or if you need some pizza to cater for your company party, etc. read more

Inconsistent at best. When they are REALLY on their game, it's a decent pizza. Unfortunately, they consistently get something wrong. Whether it's clueless people taking phone orders, their "large" that is more a medium, and recently, their cardboard crust with no rise, it's a shadow of what it used to be. VERY overpriced for an average pizza place, they are taking advantage of being one of only two games in town. read more

Why is the grill constantly "closed" early? Full menu not readily avail so don't count on them for what you want.

Good local spot, out of the way and casual. Usually get it to go, not much atmosphere.

Avoid!!!! Unfortunately, we had a horrible experience. Rolled in at lunch time after a bit of wine tasting. We had to find our own seat, our own hostess, tried serving our own beer because they were no where to be found but they were naturally out of if, ordered food and got old sauce, and listened to foul language from the kitchen the entire time. Angela was the waitress in our ticket. Ultimate thought.... avoid avoid avoid. Wasted 2 hours of our day (because we were patient) and we still had to find lunch somewhere. The seat next to us had food. They left and it was moved to another seat and not cleaned up for the 48 minutes we could stand to be there. read more

We decided to go back after a year hoping that things had changed. We arrived on a Thursday afternoon around 1 o'clock only to be totally ignored. Two women were working, one of them eventually said, " I'll be with you in a minute", but after her returning in and out of the kitchen for the third time and not helping us we walked out. This review is based solely on service as we never got to even try the food again. Living locally, I had hoped that they had changed a bit and were offering better service, but apparently not. read more

I've personally never dined in at this restaurant, I've always had it delivered to work here in town whenever we have a pizza craving, but this pizza is pretty darn great! The garlic chicken pizza is AMAZING! It's so flavorful! It's definitely one of the must-order pies every time! I've tried the pepperoni, Hawaiian, and bbq chicken pizzas from here as well. They're good, but definitely not as great as the garlic chicken. Service is very friendly on the phone, and they deliver pretty quickly. One of these days I'll actually pay a visit in person! Lol. Until then, this will remain the go-to pizza delivery place for my coworkers and I! read more

La Prima Pizza - Garlic chicken pizza! So flavorful!!! - Pizza Near Me - Saint Helena, California

I work nearby and we love ordering pizza for the night! We always order from La Prima and are never disappointed, except when we order past 8pm and they deny delivery to us at that time. (We now know we have to order before 8pm for delivery) We usually get the garlic chicken pizza and pepperoni. The garlic chicken is out of this world!! Highly recommend!!! Their crust size is average, not super thin, not super doughy. A good medium, if you ask me. Sauce is always the right ratio to toppings. We really love ordering La Prima and have nothing negative to say about this place! Subtracting a star for their early delivery hour cut off though. Price is great too! We usually order two large pizzas-garlic chicken and pepperoni+mushroom and total is around $45. read more

La Prima Pizza - Garlic chicken!!! - Pizza Near Me - Saint Helena, California

Usually very good pizza. But here is an annoying trend: "I am not sure if I have a delivery driver tonight" So often we have called and heard this excuse. Solution: Fire him. Get someone who is reliable and predictable. You are a business. We do not care that your driver cannot make it. Not our problem. read more

Online ordering was easy, delivery was easy, delivery driver was nice and garlic chicken pizza was delicious!

Good food, good hours... Oh! And here's a good idea: GET SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE PIZZA! The Philly Cheese steak for example, served with fries. Or the crispy chicken wrap, or spaghetti and meatballs or ravioli florentine. They have REALLY good food here but I will honestly say that pizza is not their strongest point when it comes to the menu. They make dough fresh every morning and sauce regularly too but for some reason it's never been my favorite. DELIVERY: 5-9 every night with no extra charge ( but $20 minimum). I can't give this place 5 stars because it simply isn't that type of scene and is not a full service 5 star restaurant but I do give them my compliments read more
