La Piazza

Per word of mouth from coworkers this placed is closed as of 2÷8÷2016. Sad because the food and service was top notch.

For years, I have been driving by this place and wondered about it. I always figured «It can’t be good» but never thought past that. Well, about a year ago, I asked a friend who lived nearby and he said that he had never gone their either. I said «Tonights the night». We went and were were pleasantly surprised. It is non-​smoking while the kitchen is open (approx. 8am to 11pm). I said we have to come back for a full meal. When we came back we ordered the Chicago Style deep dish pizza– so GOOD-​their sauce rocks! We have been coming back every week since then. Tonight we found out that it is closing after the Super Bowl on February 7. NOOOOOOOO! We will have to come here ore than once a week.

I’m from Chicago and this was my first time eating here. I had the meatball sandwich with fries and my boyfriend had the pizza slices with garlic knots. Being from Chicago I had high hopes for the food but we both thought the food was ok nothing spectacular. The meatballs on my sandwich were good but unfortunately the marinara sauce that accompanies them was not that good very blah not much flavor. The pizza slices were thin crust (yes Chicago does thin crust) but unfortunately not crispy looked more like a New York floppy slice when you picked it up with less grease, and again the sauce was very blah. They were supposed to come with garlic knots but instead came with garlic bread sticks. The bread sticks were ok your standard ones was hoping for knots with real garlic butter and pieces of garlic. The place doors look like it would be good to come and watch a Chicago game.

Located out of the strips, very nice place to eat. The manager/​waiter is very nice (and that’s one of the best quality of this job). Make sure that he’s gonna do all his possible to make you spend a good time and will make you feel comfortable and happy! The food is really good too! I only tried the pizza but I bet that the rest of the menu is also that good!
If I need to find a place to eat outside of the jungle of Vegas I know where I will go!

Situé en dehors du «Strips», très bon endroit pour manger. Le gérant/​serveur and vraiment super gentil (et c’est bien l’une des meilleures qualités de ce travail). Soyez certain qu’il fera tout son possible pour vous faire passer un agréable moment et il saura vous mettre confortable et souriant. La nourriture est vraiment très bonne aussi. Je n’ai qu’essayé que la pizza mais je parie que le reste de la carte est tout aussi bonne!
Si j’ai besoin de trouver un endroit pour manger hors de la jungle de Las Vegas je sais où j’irai!

La Piazza is located off the strip and in a quiet part of downtown. Owned by a former Chicagoan, Joey offers a very friendly atmosphere and on Sunday he bar turns into a Bears family event. 5 he’s in the bar and 1 in the restaurant. Good food… good prices

Chicago style bar. Great food and good drink specials during games. All the food that I’ve had here is amazing and cooked fresh. None of that frozen stuff like so many other bars do. The steak was cooked perfectly in the steak special and the meat was extremely tender. The wings are great. The chicken fried steak is out of this world. Never had anything bad here. The location is kinda sketchy but there’s nothing that can be done about that.

Stopped in to watch a Bears game because they play all Chicago sports. The place has a lot of potential but is kinda missing the boat. Totally understaffed making the service terrible. As for food, Italian beef was wonderful but the BLT was not. Best thing about it was the bacon but yuck tomatoes and shredded iceberg lettuce ruined the sandwich. If they can improve on things it would be a fun place to watch football.

I don’t eat pizza outside of Chicago, its a waste. This pizza proved me wrong. Still craving it. It was delicious. Sad to say it beat out my favorite pizza in Chicago. Coming back for more!

Horrible service. Had lunch around 12 and took forever to take our orders. Becky was our waitress and took forever to give us our bill and once we paid took forever to get it back. Long time waiting for drink refills as well

I love this place. I have been going here for 15 years. always something new on the menu, and the owner is awesome. being from Chicago this is my kinda town!

Very bad customer service. First of all we checked in America best value inn next to this pizza place. I thought they server free breakfast so I asked the front desk «do you guys server breakfast» she said «yes we do next to this room». Well everyone will assume that it is free so we sat in one lady approach us and ask us to order. Then I thought it’s not free you know and then I asked her «is it free breakfast from hotel?». She said «no nothing is free here «in rude way possible. I asked that America inn hotel front desk lady the breakfast is not free then she said in very rude way not every hotel have breakfast. I told I agree that but you should told have us that it is not free. She started arguing with me. Damn it I got early for this breakfast and for good morning day. But she ruined it and the worst service ever. Do not check in this restaurant or this hotel. Both are worst.

Just okay. We ordered the Sicilian pizza with pepperoni. They cut it into squares rather than slices which wasn’t a good idea. The wait for 2 small pieces of garlic bread took at least 15 minutes. Service was slow even to get refills on soda.

Pleasantly surprised! We were looking for something to eat near Cashman Center and Unilocal showed that this was close. A basic bar restaurant with great prices, good service, and great food. I had a meatball sub that was delicious! Crusty bread, homemade meatballs, lots of melted cheese. It was perfect.

Preaty good chill place to eat food is Preaty good had the thin pizza with BBw wings and a regular cheeseburger everything tasted great the environment is good and calm would definitely come back

Small little laid back place. Friendly service & atmosphere. Chicago themed. Even better! Good pizza & good deals. Place was kinda smokey. I could do without that.

It states they deliver, so I called to see if they’ll deliver to the D. The guy who answered said no, they don’t deliver. I brought up how on the website it states they do deliver. He says oh that’s only for big orders and business between 11am-​2pm. You should change your info so it’s not misleading.

I have a hard time expressing my gratitude to Joe and the staff at La Piazza for making our weekend in Vegas SO much easier! I was travelling with a group of 40 high school kids and assorted parents. I needed lunch for 60 at the Cashman Center. I called La Piazza Friday morning to see about getting pizzas. Without going in to details, Joe and his staff delivered lunch to us for two days, offered extras, checked back to make sure we were ok, the food was great, and we were under budget! We had pizzas one day and pasta the other. Apparently, the garlic knots are yummy. I wouldn’t know because they got eaten every day before I had a chance to take one!
They work HARD and want to make sure you get what you expected. I definitely recommend La Piazza!

It doesn’t matter if you are from the east coast, west coast, or anywhere in between; La Piazza knocks the ball outta’ the park. And how could you not like a place named after the greatest hitting catcher of all time?!
Mike Piazza’s hall of fame issues aside, I hit up La Piazza after catching the Mets play the Cubs at Cashman Field. Reluctant to walk into a Chicago bar in my David Wright jersey, I was invited by some friendly Met fans I met at the game. La Piazza consists of a standard bar area complete with gambling machines and a dining area. The place appears to be adjoined to a hotel, which is great if you find yourself a little too sauced to drive home after spending time at the bar.
We grabbed a few beers at the bar first and discovered that the bartenders were on their game and extraordinarily friendly. We then took the party to the dining area and put our food order in. We went for a bucket of well done wings, plain sicilian pizza pie, and a sicilian topped with all sorts of protein. I typically don’t order my wings well done but these turned out pretty tasty. The pizza itself was not much to look at upon first glance, but after I took my first bite, I was sold. I hadn’t had pizza this good in quite awhile. The cheese pizza with no frills was decadent. The quality of the cheese and the toppings on the meat pizza was very evident. The meatballs and pepperoni were phenomenal. You could tell that La Piazza does not cut corners when it comes to their pizza.
During our meal the owner came out and made sure we were doing well which was a nice gesture and much appreciated.

This place is great! My friend and I are former Chicagoans and heard this was a Chicago place. The bar has lots of chi sports on the walls and a huge regulation size shuffleboard. I can see this being a great place to watch Blackhawks and Bulls already!
We sat in the dining area and got to meet the owner Joe, who was a super nice guy. The dining area is very comfortable and they have a nice menu selection. They serve breakfast lunch and dinner and serve food til 11pm.
Chicken Milanese with twice baked potato, veggies and garlic bread was the special and my friend enjoyed it very much. She’s Italian and all I heard were compliments on the food.
I went for the pizza. They have three kinds, thin, Sicilian and Chicago deep dish. The thin crust is more like the thickness of a hand tossed pizza. The Sicilian is supposed to be double that thickness and deep dish is, well you know what deep dish is, don’t you?
I ordered a 10″ thin cheese with black olives (my fav). See my picture. It was delicious and perfectly cooked. I had to take most of it home as it was quite filling. I really like the cheese they use.
It’s not far from main st casino– it doesn’t look like much from the outside but don’t let that fool you.
Check it out when you’re in the downtown area!

Last couple of times coming here for my favorite steak sammich was disappointing. The quality was just not there. I’m so sad. I gave’m like three more chances. The last chance was not the business. Soon after, I was not feeling right. Bubblegutitis in my near future. At least I gave them a few more chances. I had to write an update because a few friends wanted to check it out. If you do come through, their other café plates are solid. I’d pass on the steak sammich. Their breakfast isn’t bad either. Then again, how can you mess up breakfast…
ENJOY!!!
