La Villa Pizzeria & Restaurant

I consider myself a pizza aficionado, heck I even considered publishing a guide, a native of Brooklyn I hate to admit the best pizza I’ve ever had was in North Jersey but as of today that has changed, La Villa has a perfect crust, just the right amount of seasoning and good cheese, I have been here many times (been coming for nearly 30 years before it was a restaurant) awesome pizza, regular plain pie just plain good

Yes the food is good I will give them that. BUT the service is not a lot of confusion going on. They are expensive for a local restaurant and look to Nickel and dime you for everything. They have a delivery charge that the owner keeps, it DOES not even go to the delivery person. When calling for take out or delivery the order is ALWAYS wrong. Yes the food is good but there are too many negatives associated with this place

I almost didn’t want to write this because I don’t want more people discovering it, but I just can’t keep it to myself. Hands down one of THE best pizzas I’ve had in NYC, and I L O V E pizza. Had all the greats; Lombardis Grimaldi Robertas what have you. La Villa is probably the closest NYC gets to real Italian pizza (gone all around there too trying pizza). Recommend a classic margherita pia with the onion bread. Their spicy fried calamari was amazing too. I keep coming back even though its miles away from home.

Amazing food. They skimp on nothing here. Sauce is phenomenal. LIttle pricey, but with quality it’s worth it.

The sauce in my veal parmigiana was so delicious. This is one of the best authentic Italian restaurants I ever been to. I totally recommend this restaurant.

Food was good. Ordered wood fire grandma pizza which was delish! Also had the chicken with julienne vegetables, garlic and olive oil which was very tasty. Garlic bread was pretty amazing. Only reason didn’t give 5 stars was because of noise level and didn’t have broccoli to make my favorite dish… salmon with broccoli.

I can only rate them on what food I have tried so far so this review is simply based on there pizza.
The pizzeria/​restaurant is located inside of a mall so parking is not a problem.
The food prices are a bit on the higher scale but there pizza is very much worth it.
The Sicilians will cost approximately 3 dollars a slice and so will the regular slices, sicilians are better! You bite into this hot pillow like textured slice and I’m pretty sure you enter pizza heaven.
The pizza itself is very soft and being a stickler for tomato sauce I usually go for the white slice but oddly there TOMATO SAUCE IS AWESOME. Its fresh, and very authentic and tasty. Definitely go there and grab a slice if you are in the neighborhood. With a lot of pizzerias in the area definitely choose quality over quantity and price.
Service is professional quick and efficient.
Will be headed back for a sit down dinner one day!

So disappointed. Ordered today. Take out. Been eating at la villa for like 16 years or more. Got a chicken wrap today. It was all bread and the chicken was chewy and rubbery. Not to mention there were 4 pieces of chicken in it. One piece of cheese and like four pieces of lettuce. Sick of calling them. If they don’t watch the quality of food produced in their kitchen, it’s their fault. The chicken was either old, reheated, or undercooked. It was so chewy and gross. Basically I had bread for dinner because the chicken was not edible.

Not often do I give 5 stars but this is the kind of place that deserves it. With many «pizza» places in Brooklyn this not only blows them away but serves many other AUTHENTIC Italian dishes as well.
However, it goes beyond the food. The service is top notch and management is not only kind but professional. I think I found my new spot in Brooklyn! Try this place.

The food is delicious, no complaints. My problem is how overpriced they are. I asked for a hero sandwich made in a wrap instead of the hero. The sandwich was $ 15 and they charged $ 3 for making it in a wrap.
Also they charge for delivery and I live 4 blocks away

Always great!
Excellent service.
Love the Organic salad with goat cheese, walnuts and beets.
Specials are always changing.
Seafood is fresh and cooked perfect.
Veal is a go to favorite.
Pasta is fresh.
Nice wine and beer selection.
Pizza crust is crispy.

Famous for their wood fired pizza, but just about anything you order is delicious.
Prices are reasonable. Casual dining.
May be too noisy for some. You can always order take out.

This place is surely a staple! Delicious food, fantastic service and always a little taste of home

The best Italian restaurant I have been to in Brooklyn. The bread basket they bring for starters is great. I got the grandma slice for an app– it was out of this world. Also got the homemade mozz sticks. They were mad with buffalo mozz– great choice!
For entrée got the Bolognese pasta dish. It tasted yummy. A must go to in Brooklyn
It’s in a weird part of Brooklyn– mill basin. But def worth a visit. Enjoy!

I used to live in the area and eat here almost every night. My favorite being the La Villa House Salad with grilled chicken.
They are very pricey and I think they are cause there’s not much competition in the area…
I recently went back to the old hood and had lunch there. To my disappointment, they still charge a lot but reduced the size of the salad. I remember getting a mountainous sized salad, now… it’s just… eh. For that… you lose a star.
The food is great! Seriously good food… you will not be disappointed with the food… just the prices.

Lately I’ve been a bit disappointed in this place. Something has changed over the years and it’s not what it used to be. The service is great and the wait staff is very friendly. The food however, is just not appetizing. I leave this place paying $ 30 for what tasted like a $ 10 meal.
There have been a few occasions where the pasta sauce has this orange hue to it. It reminds me of chef boyardee sauce and it tastes like it. The onion bread, which used to be so good my friends and I could fill up on that alone, is not as fresh as it used to be. It comes out burnt and they only give like 2 pieces now and if you ask for more, the waiter cringes a little.
I love to eat pizza but the pizza here just turns me off. I got a vegetable slice and felt like I was eating a giant veggie salad on bread. Too much veggies not enough sauce or cheese to enjoy.
The only dish I enjoy here is the baked ziti. The cheese is melted very nice and they give a nice portion that it fills you up. The chicken parm is okay too.
While this place is prized as a mill basin landmark, there are better Italian places out there.

I’ve been eating at /​ordering from La Villa since I was 13. I’m 30 now — you do the math. I’ve ordered so many times from them that I have their # fully burned into my memory (718−251−8030).
The food is simple & good and the service is decent. Its a staple in Mill Basin and is always reliable for good Italian.

Hmmm I don’t even know where to start. Their complimentary bread is awesome. Along with their entire menu. Service is always on point as well. When you step into La villa it’s got a good vibe with nice décor.
I’ve been coming here for close to three years now and has never left disappointed. The food is extremely fresh and always served with a smile.
The only problem you’re going to have coming here is, deciding what you want to order.
Rec: La Villa Wrap, grilled chicken Sandwich, and any pizza depending on your toppings. Most important «Don’t get stuffed on the free bread»

The food is always fresh and the staff is quite knowledgeable. I wasn’t sure what to purchase, so the owner didn’t hesitate to help me choose. Took one bite of their food, we got a winner!
My advice is to make sure your stomach remains empty upon arrival, for which you will want to try everything. Especially, their deserts. I guarantee you will return with good friends for a get together.

We went to La Villa on avenue U for lunch today. We were able to sit right away when we got in… and for an early afternoon week day, there was a decent amount of diners in there.
They brought over waters and THE BEST onion garlic bread that they heat up. It’s so good.
We got the La Villa house salad to split, which was delicious, and we both ordered a sandwich for our meal.
I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich. The sandwich was a good size, very big, and could of definitely been shared between two people.
La Villa is always good, and I’ll continue to come back.
