La Strada

Worst customer service I’ve experienced. Did not deliver to the right address. When being asked about the delivery that never arrived, the staff raised his voice and screamed over the phone. Never order from here again

Working in the area can be tough as the selection of places to eat is less than decent. La Strada remains a Go-​To because 1) their pizza is awesome, 2) The hot food (pre prepared for the lunch rush) is even better, and 3) the guys that run the joint still speak Italian (I appreciate that!) The ONLY thing that makes me not give the place 5 stars is during the busiest of lunch hours doctors from the hospital down the block will linger longer than fair after eating, while the rest of us patiently wait for a spot to sit… not the place’s fault, but it is their fault that I am am usually the one left no choice but to ask people to sit. That should be something the staff takes care of.

This place is kept clean. The food is good. The pizza is ok. The owners sal and john are friendly.

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.

Very good lasagna for a pizza place. Lots of meat, good sauce. Fresh cheese and we’ll cooked noodles. Tasty

Was delicious! Thank goodness for Unilocal.Was looking for a good place to get something to eat around the area and stopped at Mixxed first. Saw the reviews, left and went here. Pizza was delicious and usually I do a 4 star if I’ve only had one item from the location. But the man was so friendly and nice when I went. Deserving of a 5 star. Service is everything!

Doing a gig round the block and upon first glance, with a pizza screen nowhere in site, I had to give it a try. After eating a slice down the block, I knew there had to be better. Upon first bite, hands down a perfect pepperoni roll. Crunchy, spicy and damn tasty. Then went for a chix/​tomato/​garlic, that was 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 prince of pizza.

The food here is good I recommend there pastas and fried calamari taste fresh, For pizzeria food.

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 51^st 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.

La Strada has good plain pizza slices. Plain pizza slice is their most popular and freshly made pizza. My husband and I use to like their chicken roll. But the past 5 – 6 orders of chicken roll has been utter disappointment. The chicken in the chicken roll is over cooked. The outside bread is soggy which ruins the taste and chew of the chicken roll. We also liked their grilled chicken ceasar salad. They are slacking off on their chicken. My husband went in last week to get a slice of their chicken pizza. All he asked for was some pieces of chopped onions. The guy behind the counter (one of the brother) charged $ 1.25 for the couple of pieces of onions. I guess the prices have gone up only in this pizzeria. Business owners who take advantage of their customers should have no mercy. Atleast when it comes to restaurant owners. The pictures posted might have been from years past.

Pizza was official, that Brooklyn standard I always keep in mind. Thick crust, minimal oil, sauce that isn’t overpowering, and fresh ingredients. I got a mushroom slice and a chicken and tomato slice, both were made fresh and didn’t have soggy shrooms or fatty or mushy chicken. I’ll be back soon… ish so keep it up! !

I’ve ordered here a few times, each time is worst than the prior. Pizza is often burnt. Don’t even bother complaining, the two owners are rude as heck. When I called in once, they totally forgot my order and tried to make while I wait. Another time, they got my toppings wrong, I called back and they said I gave the instructions incorrectly. Whatever! There aren’t many pizzerias around this area, making this place as hospital employees’ only few alternatives.

Their eggplant rolls are out of this world. They literally melt in your mouth. I’m addicted. The dough is thin and the perfect consistency.
The owners know me by name and are always friendly.
This is by far my favorite place to eat lunch near work at Maimonides hospital

I only give it four stars because I have only tried the pizza. But the pizza is out of this world. I drive 30+ minutes to get to this pizza place because I used to live nearby but moved. I always get either the eggplant with skins (as opposed to the fried eggplant) or the La Strada large pie! Now don’t be put off by the rude phone service. They are really busy and are just rushing. When you get there in person, they are so gracious, I can never tell who was so rude to me on the phone. I wish they would open a La Strada in bed stuy but then again I am glad they don’t. If they did, I would be 500 pounds because I would just eat their pizza.

Pizza is unremarkable. Service is very rude.
Called ordered, asked them how much was everything, was told they were busy and they would call back with the cost.
About an hour later, no call back, so we decided to call them and asked them the cost of everything, was rudely told WERE BUSY and hung up on us.
Pizza finally came, guess what? no one ever called back with the cost. Pizza was chewy and unremarkable.

They have the best fresh eggplant pizza and lasagna I ever tired in borough park .The place is very cozy and neat. And so, the owner are nice and very friendly.

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.

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.

A hidden gem of a pizza place.
Delivery or carry out this is my pie joint of choice. There’s no shortage of pizza places around here but to stand out by leaps and bounds as this place does is noteworthy in and of itself.
The food is always hot, tastes fresh and is reasonably priced. Their pasta is good too, in a pinch. But the bread, oh the bread, this place makes some of the best bread around. If they were to close shop and just become a bakery I wouldn’t mind for a minute… well, I would miss their pies.

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 ilatian food lover; you would not worry about the price if you want good food here. Enjoy!
