La Strada is hands-down one of the best pizza spots around Maimonides -- a true Brooklyn neighborhood staple that never disappoints. The pies come out perfectly every time: crispy crust, great sauce, and that right balance of cheese that keeps you coming back. Try their margarita. You won't regret it What really sets them apart is the service. They take incredible care of the hospital community, always friendly, always fast, and always making sure staff get what they need during those long shifts. It's the kind of place that feels like it's looking out for you. Whether it's a quick slice, a pie for the team, or a comfort meal after a long day, La Strada delivers every single time. A must-visit and a forever favorite in the neighborhood. read more

My coworker ordered a grandma pie to share. It was a decent size, crust was really good. Nice and crispy. The sauce however was quite disappointing and one of the most important parts of the pizza pie. The sauce tasted store bought, a little too salty. read more

Was super excited to stumble across a cozy pizzeria with friendly staff and a delicious menu. I visited La Strada a couple of times for lunch. My go to is the chicken parm with penne ala vodka. The bruschetta is fresh and they have big portion sizes. The La Strada staff is friendly and accommodating. There's plenty of indoor seating (and a restroom). It can be difficult to find a place to eat around here, so this spot was super convenient. La Strada is a great go-to for comfort food on the go! read more

Life is short F....it up! Family, Flavor, Friends Was in New York for the weekend and the last few times we missed out on New York slice. Decided to go to this place as it was more of a local pizza shop rather than the touristy spot that everyone knows about . Traditional New York Italian slice good flavor crispy on the bottom And plenty of selection. Glad we stopped by here in the area. Give this a try. read more

This is a cute sit down place. We got a few different items like a pizza slice, pizza rolls chicken parm hero, chicken parm with spaghetti and a fettuccine alfredo. The pizza and lizza rolls were your classic foods. The chciken parm dishes were delicious and definitely an item to get. The fettuccine alfredo was missing a cheesier taste but was still decent to eat. The service was nice. The workers made sure to check in to see if we were happy with the food which we were. read more

Loveeee this place. Prices are affordable. Food is really good. There are a lot of options to choose from. All the employees are pleasantly nice. From their rolls, to wheels, to pizza slices, pasta, everything is good. I'm not sure it deserves to be deemed the "best" in Brooklyn but it's definitely a place worth going to every time you're craving Italian. It is in a very convenient location, right near Maimonides. Even though I have a lot of good things to say about this place, there is one thing negative... They don't use gloves when they make their food, specifically their pizza. So every piece of shredded cheese, ingredient, and dough is touched by hands that you're not even sure were washed. Kinda makes me cringe thinking about it but the food is so good. Ambiance is pretty chill. Very casual. Nothing fancy. It's a good place to eat for lunch and a quick bite. read more

Hidden gem near Maimonides Medical Center that has one of the best eggplant pizzas! Love their pepperoni pizzas too. They also make delicious pastas! Staff are always so friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended! read more

This pizzeria is one of my most favorite in NYC. I have been eating here for years & I love their eggplant pizza the most. Even my picky mother loves their eggplant pizza. I have tried their plain slice, pepperoni slice, and pastas & they were all delicious. Staff is always friendly and attentive. You can call them to order for pick up, because they often run out of eggplant pizzas. read more

After seeing that Jentana across the street was closed for the month, I walked over here instead for pizza. Wasn't mad about it - I had never been to either pizzeria before, so I didn't really know which one's better, what to expect, etc. Upon walking in, I immediately noticed how cozy and inviting the place was. Classic orange tables/booths, floor to ceiling windows, the standard pizza display/counter. There were also people eating outside on the patio chairs - definitely felt like a comfy neighborhood spot. 10/10 ambiance. Unfortunately my mom and I were taking the pizza to the nearby hospital, so we didn't stay to eat. We got 2 plain cheese slices, a chicken/broccoli slice, and a grandma slice. I was holding an iced latte from the nearby Dunkin' and when we went to go pay, the man who took our order joked, "Iced coffee too?" Haha no, charge us for just the pizza pls! The total came out to be a little over $12 for those 4 slices. That sounds about right, but now that I think of it, maybe we should've gotten a cost breakdown to be sure lol Pizza was really good - it was 1pm and I hadn't had breakfast yet. I was also craving a grandma slice. Tasted authentically Brooklyn. read more

Always had good food and a good experience ,til today. My first venture for take out since the pandemic and this is what I walk in to. Sal.. a self important, entitled owner with no mask..directly In front of food. Thankfully his restaurant men who are cooking and packing up orders had gloves and masks on . I get that its 91 degrees and restaurants are struggling but if your customers have to wear a mask and social distance..you're not setting a good example. read more

Nice place,nice pizza. Few outside table that make sort of Al fresco style. I have been there few time,always a place to go back to. Only disappointment are some of the younger employees behind the counter,very bad attitude. Not the Italian guy,he is funny and friendly. See you soon read more

I ordered stuff shells they weren't the best I wouldn't order anything else but pizza , pizza is good . Kinda Sucks cuz they been here there for a long time in the past they were better . But beware prices are high . Which is to be expected but not for what I had received with those stuffed shells . The sauce for that was acidic as hell too . I'm sorry I had to say it read more

Horrible place to order from over priced for bland food. Ordered penne vodka which did not taste like it. And to top it off asked for extra sauce and they said they will charge me for the jar $20 had also a chicken wrap tasted horrible.. would not recommend this place don't even know why people go there. I know not much around the area but would travel to any other place then to eat from there not giving them a cent again... crazy part is other pizza places would give you a huge discount on food they about to throw out but they will charge you regular for things that been out all day not fresh food... thumbs down for not being good to their customers read more

I expected better . Way better. How the hell is this place rated so highly ? This food is uninspiring and on the fringe of simply being flat out , bad . I am only giving two stars because of the portion size . I only ordered two things . Baked Ziti with Chicken Parm and a slice of Pizza . Two staples of Italian restaurants you'd think . The Chicken Parm is a huge portion like I said, and extremely cheesy with tons of mozzarella and cheddar . The pasta even with the accompaniment of the sauce was just uninspiring . It's like they overloaded the ziti with cheese because they don't know how to season and attempt to make even marginally more complex flavors. If I wanted Mac and cheese I'd go elsewhere . Anyhow , onto The chicken . Omg what a disaster ! I think this is the worst chicken I've had in my life . Normally, chicken should cut easily with a spoon or fork . Not this time ! The chicken was so hard to cut even with a knife that I ended applying so much force. All that force ended up with me busting through the container trying to cut it . Needless to say the chicken was inedible (I sadly still tasted it ) and I am Still Absolutely disgusted just thinking about it . As for that pizza , . The Sicilian slice is edible . The crust is soft sorta like a bread . But the sauce was undetectable. It also seems like they put maybe butter on the crust which added an underlying weird salty burnt oil after taste from each bite . The pizza was just underwhelming but again massive in size which I give credit for. Overall this was some of the worst quality Italian food I have ever eaten and will definitely not return . It's mind boggling this place is rated so well . Maybe I tried their less inspiring foods but at this point I don't want to taste anything else from here . read more

Great service and people and the food is awesome been going there for the pizza it's the best in all of Brooklyn

Two stars because it was clean, the staff was kind and the drinks were good. I would never eat here again. The food was frankly terrible. The appetizer sampler was melted together bread crumbs. It had no presentation, just a bunch of fried foods piled on top of eachother which stopped some family members with food allergies from eating. The calamari was overcooked which is an epic fail in Staten Island. We hosted an event where I selected penne alla vodka and they served Rigatoni caprice that tasted cold and had no appeal. The mozzarella was low quality. And frankly the main course was ehhh. I had expected better for what I paid for an event. Also, the party room had absolutely no ambiance and the speakers were broken so no atmosphere music. The food tasted as if the person making it didn't care if it came out wrong, or looked like crap. They served it anyway. I will not be returning. read more

Funny and nice man behind the counter. Pizza was okay, yummy if you are hungry. I am a pizza snob too and I didn't find this extraordinarily delicious but food enough to fulfill my hunger at the time. read more

Great food.....as always. Good pizza and calzones....Nice job guys...Thank you much!!!

I've come here on several occasions during my lunch break and I've mainly ordered the pizza slices or salads. The pizza they sell is delicious and very good. They don't skimp on ingredients here either so you are getting your money's worth. The grilled chicken salad that I had was also very good, however I do really wish there was a different salad type rather than just lettuce. I am gonna ask them next time because the chicken was really delicious and the size of the salad was very generous. I don't have any complaints about La Strada, it's a good neighborhood italian pizza restaurant catering to most of the hospital staff and the neighbors around the area. read more

Good pizzeria here. Nice Air-conditioned feels very homey inside. Plus next to the hospital so if you choke on a slice the ER is right next door read more

What. The. Heck? We ordered chicken cacciatore with ziti, chicken marsala, sausage with ziti, mozzarella sticks, fried calamari and penne alla vodka. Fails: -Peppers in the chicken cacciatore were bitter. WHY were they bitter?? That made the whole platter bitter, including the mushrooms and chicken. -Chicken in the chicken cacciatore was really tough to chew compared to the chicken marsala. -Ziti in both platters were beyond al dente. It came out to be near mush. The pasta was so soft that it fell apart every time we tried to use the fork to scoop it up. It was horrible. My friend referred the ziti as baby food. Can you imagine how unpleasant that comparison is?? -Mozzarella sticks taste like the frozen package kind and was extremely salty. We had to dunk them in the dipping sauce to mask the saltiness. Ok: -Penne alla vodka was decent but we've tasted better elsewhere. -Sausage was any regular sausage you'll find at any pizzeria/italian joint, nothing special Good: -Fried calamari Looks like we'll be sticking with Rocco's. read more

Pizza comes late so by the time it arrives, it's not warm and cheese is hard. Won't be eating from here anymore because of that... but delivery man was friendly! Pizza isn't DELICIOUS either... I'm gonna stick to Papa John's read more

Pizza here is good. Thin and crispy. Close to Maimonides hospital if you are visiting a loved one. Parking here is very hard due to the hospital setting. I would only recommend the pizzas here. The pastas look like they sit there for hours and is opened to air. Looks pretty dry as well, but it most likely would look different when heated up. read more

Aside from the fact that the place is within walking distance from my residence, I dont really go to this place. I'm not a huge fan of Italian food, but one day last year, my friend was craving for some. I knew from the fact that this place has the best Italian food in the area, so I took her there. THis place is usually occupied by hospital workers on lunch break from Maimonides Medical Center or construction workers that are huge italian food fans. I remember having their spinach panini. Wow, it's really good. The chesse actually stretches, the bread was perfect, the spinach was chopped into pieces so you don't feel as if you are chewing the spinach apart with your teeth. I actually enjoyed the food. But it's a bit pricey for me. I guess if you are an Italian food lover; you would not worry about the price if you want good food here. Enjoy! read more

This is one of the few places walking distance from my work, it's pretty pack during lunch time but the serive is quite friendly. I tried their philly steak w mush and grilled chicken w roast pepper and fresh mozerella panini. philly steak was fill w ungreasy steak, maybe slightly on the lighter flavor for some people but it's good for me, the bread was soft and crispy at the same time. A bit disappointed about panini, first they use the different kinda of bread that normally serve in panini, second, the bread was not grilled, lastly the roast pepper was very moist so it saps the entire panini even in a short time, I prob won't order it again. Cesear chicken salad is great, w generous amount of grilled chicken that's delicious. The menu has varieties items that i haven't try yet, it's definately an advantage for a quick lunch bite place. read more

Brooklyn pizza yumm! I'm a devote Queens girl but man oh man, brooklyn pizza got some special seasonings or something. The crust is crispier and the sauce is just perfect. If you are visiting Maimonides Hospital, this is a great alternative the the cafeteria food. It's only a 5 minute straight walk from the main entrance. The staff here is very friendly and you will notice that a lot of people coming here will sit down and eat alone (hospital staff or visitors) so don't feel weirded out. They create a very comfortable environment for that! read more

Solid italian joint with decent food. My chicken parm was hot--very tomato-y, with slightly overcooked pasta. I'm told the spinach pie was nice, too. I wouldn't go out of my way to go to La Strada, but if I was in the neighborhood and wanted a quick bite? I'd stop in again. read more

In the land of Borough Park, there's not a whole lot going on in terms of life. Are there people? Yes. But that's about it. As a result, finding a decent pizza place is tough. But alas, there is La Strada. Located on the lonely corner of 51st St and 10 Av near Maimonides Medical Center, La Strada does a great job of bringing pretty good pizza to the area. Don't get me wrong. It's not the best pie in NYC. But considering what is around, this place is great. Now I'm a sucker for a good slice. In fact, I prefer slices over the whole shebang. Why? No idea. Crispier crust maybe? Regardless, a slice at La Strada is delicious. And at about $2.50 a slice, it's not too shabby. I'm also a big fan of the Pepperoni Rolls. It's pizza dough and pepperoni rolled into one and baked til crispy. Yum! If you're looking for actual kitchen food, they make a really good plate of Rigatoni alla Vodka and a great Chicken Parm sandwich. read more

I would say this is one of the best places to get pizza in the Sunset Park area. I kind of didn't realize this place even existed for a very long time, until I realized, how on 51st and 10th they actually have a pizza place, and that's nearby! I have eaten there a few times, but mainly I get the pizza(Although it appears as though they have a rather extensive menu) The pizza is very good. Its better then any other pizza place in Sunset Park(which is not saying much, I know). The crust is really good, the thing is covered in a thick layer of cheese, the sauce has the taste of real tomatoes. This is truly a good old-fashioned pizzeria. The delivery is relatively quick as well. If you live in this area, this is probably your best bet for decent pizza. read more

This place has great food. Loved the stromboli and pizza i had. I just took a bite and was in heaven. It was just delicious. Took my food to go. Realized i asked for a stromboli and pizza and a snapple. I asked how much stromboli was and guy at counter said $6 so if i got my math correct pizza was $3. Because i got charged $10.50 and i think a typical snapple is $1.50. I kind of feel like either he charged me more or pizza is $3 now. I remember when it was .75 cents. Last time i got a pizza it was $2. Yeah feeling like the guy jipped me. But food was good. Just make sure you dont get jipped. Also no napkins. Yeah cheap owner or whatever definatly jipped me. read more

Doing a gig round the block, and upon first glance, with a pizza screen nowhere in site, I had to give it a try; cause after eating a nasty slice down the block, I knew there had to be better. Upon the first bite, this was hands down a absolutely perfect pepperoni roll. Crunchy, spicy and damn tasty. Then with reckless abandon went in for seconds with a chix/tomato/garlic, that was flat out crunch for crunch perfection. My hats off to the dude at the counter. May he take the crown as the boro park culinary king of the crust, and the reigning prince of pizza! read more

Good pizza. There's another pizzeria a block closer to me, but this place is much cleaner. Not much to say that makes this place stand out otherwise. It can get crowded during lunchtime because its a block from Miamonides. Pasta and sandwiches are very good. Various rolls (chicken, meatball, etc.) are about a quarter cheaper than at other spots. My biggest complaint is the crap on TV whenever I'm there. read more
