La Strada International Deli

I have gotten pizza from here at least five times and I absolutely love it! The staff is always super friendly and the prices are great. It is hands down my favorite pizza in LA. (and my whole family agrees with me on that!) Keep up the great work!

Among all the overpriced, over-​rated delis in Los Angeles — I’m looking right at you, Jerry’s — La Strada is a refreshing change. I haven’t tried the burgers or pizza, but the sandwiches are exactly what you want from a good deli. There are some classics, like ham and cheese, and some inventive stuff with an Italian twist. All of them are solid. The sandwiches with cole slaw, though, are on a whole other level. They’re generous with the side dishes too.
And, finally, they’re reasonably priced. Don’t even bother with the Subway around the corner. For three bucks more you get far better food at La Strada.

Had the burger and fries special that they advertise on their window. For the price, I feel like I got a decent deal. The only thing that struck me as odd is that the burger consists of two small patties laid across the bun, like a figure eight. It was also obvious that they were some sort of out-​of-​the-​bag frozen patty, which is a little disappointing for a deli.
I’m going to give their pizza a shot before I make my final judgement on whether I will be going back again.

Tried this place using a Groupon and had a good time. The woman who served and greeted us must be one of the Owners. You can just tell because you get the BEST service from an owner. She was divine, very cute, Andre Bocelli was playing when we walked in, everything in the glass display looked fresh and yummy.
I ordered the Margarita pizza and my husband ordered a sandwich (can’t remember the name but very close to a Caprese) We both loved the food we ordered. It wasn’t heavy and tasted great. The sauce on the pizza was one of the best sauces I have had and the crust was not too thick and not too thin, cooked perfectly.
Overall, great meal, excellent service. I’ll be back! ;)

decided to try this place out since we walk past it every night on our walks. I do crave a good pizza, but there are none in the area. the pizza place around the corner is bland.
ordered a medium, but they offered 2 larges for the same price. we thought we found our next hangout. the lady behind the counter was very charming.
the pizzas came & they both had a pool of oil on top. not too bad since New York pizza usually has the same. both my wife & I tasted it & had the same disappointed looks on our faces. this pizza is horrible. we both ate a couple of slices & gave up. I usually take the leftover slices for lunch the next day or better yet a cold slice in the morning. but this was so bad we both left them. I hate wasting food, but there was no way I was gonna finish this.
the cheese was salty & rubbery, the bread texture resembled a pop tart, the sauce tasted like canned spaghetti sauce and the pepperoni gave both of us acid reflux on our walk home. both our pizzas looked identical which made us suspect they were frozen or pre-​made. order 2 pizzas from Mozza or Little Dom and you will see what a handmade pizza should look & taste like.
maybe an indicator of a bad place is if they use stock photos rather than actual photos of their food.

I really liked this place! Got traditional spaghetti and meatballs, enough for dinner and lunch next day! The lady behind the counter was charming and nice. My boyfriend had a great experience here and we are planning on going back.

Came here after purchasing a groupon. Food isn’t bad. We had two pizzas. The pesto e ricotta and the bbq chicken with fries. The pesto was for some reason extremely salty. But the bbq chicken was awesome. Overall, not too shabby and OK for a lazy monday night.

The deli is pretty good as far as deli’s go. There wasn’t a line and the only other customers included Ron Artest and his friends. We ordered the Bellagio Road and the Meatball Sandwich.
The Bellagio Road was the better of the two, the bread was perfectly grilled and all the proportions were what you would want in a sandwich, no taste was overtaking another. The Meatball was pretty good, although I’m not a fan of sweeter red sauce and they use this type of sauce on the sandwich. I think it would be better if the bread was toasted.
The waitstaff was very friendly. I was a little turned off by the pizza sitting in the display case however. It looked cold and unappealing and I love pizza. I’m sure, that fresh from the oven pizza is much better, but pizza by the slice didn’t look so good.

So glad to have found this cute little deli/​café nearby! They have an awesome deal of two slices of margherita pizza and a drink for only $ 5! And the pizza was delicious! Nice and thin crust, very fresh tasting cheese and sauce. Not only that, but the pieces are huge so it’s kind of like you’re getting four pieces of pizza. (shh, don’t tell them that) They also deliver. I’m definitely a fan.

I love the sandwiches and delectable side dishes here. My favorite sandwich is the Montana Ave. The bread is fresh and the ingredients are fresh and crisp. The spicy and hot pasta is an amazingly delish side dish. I’ve been told the pizza here is really good. Since I’m off to Vegas twice in the next couple of months, pizza is a «no no» for my diet. I was taken back when the owner/​chef started chatting me up when I asked the cashier about a side dish. He delved in to each of the sides, describing each ingredient that went in to each side. His enthusiasm and passion for his creations left a warm fuzzy feeling in the cockles of my heart. Enjoy.

The sandwiches were nothing to write home about. I tried three and the best by far was a vegetarian one on ciabatta, but was nothing special… The redeeming factor was the staff who were very friendly and the fresh squeezed juice that, despite the high price, was delicious

Another neighborhood find! I had the Federal Avenue sandwhich because it had sprouts (love!). It was pretty good, wrapped in a Pesto and Garlic tortilla. The Harvati cheese made it a little better than a normal turkey sandwhich.
My friend ordered the panini special that had chicken with BBQ sauce and some other deliciousness. It was really good! I’ll probably try a panini next time.
The only negative things I have are 1) the prices. $ 10 for a sandwhich is a little absurd and 2) the pasta salads were absolutely covered in mayo, which is disgusting. If they had a vegetable pasta salad made with olive oil, that would be fantastic!
Large menu, cool little boxes of teas with built-​in infusers, and free delivery within 90 049!

There’s nothing like trying food in a restaurant, or café, you’ve never dined in before, as your anticipation is high and your taste buds are ready for action. However, my high anticipation turned into killjoy after entering this place. Reason being, the staff appeared to be quite stern, maybe because it was early but that’s no excuse to not be welcoming to customers.
Anyway, we looked at the menu and quickly realized the breakfast omelettes are named after areas in New York such as Times Square, Manhattan, Central Park, and the like. So, I settled on the Manhattan Omelette, which was topped with cheese and complimented with hash browns and toast. My meal was passable, for lack of a better word, but left much to be desired. The food looked good, in presentation, but it just wasn’t a thrilling creation, in my opinion. My friend really didn’t have any comments, but left a clean plate, probably due to hunger. Well, this place has a rather lengthy menu so, if I return, I’ll certainly make a different food selection.

I liked this little hole in the wall restaurant. I liked the variety of sandwiches… lots of different combos to try… proprietors were friendly and I really liked the espresso…
better than Le Pain and Starbucks around the corner. prices aren’t too bad and at least its not Subway… dings for lack of seating and I haven’t tried it more than once… I’ll do a few repeat visits.
Had a turkey/​roast beef with coleslaw and russian dressing… its not like a jewish deli sandwhich but in a pinch it satisfies the craving.

This hole in the wall deli sucked me in last summer with a white sandwich board advertising fresh watermelon juice. It took about 10 minutes to make and strain it, and it cost like $ 5, but it was the über good.
I’ve been back several times. Their sandwiches are named after streets. So, you can have the 101, 405, Wilshire or even some tiny little streets which may not exist.
The ambiance is quaint and the opportunity to dine al fresco makes this a fun spot to have lunch.
I’d give the juice a 4 star and the sandwiches 2 stars.
Still looking for a good place to eat lunch in Brentwood.

When you walk into a place like this, and all they have is sandwiches, scribbled on the wall, and no take out menu even, the sandwiches better be good! But, they are just okay. I was expecting a monster deli sandwich for 8 bucks, but what I got was a couple slices of turkey and a little piece of cheese on a small piece of rye bread. One of the smallest deli sandwiches I’ve ever ordered.
It was good… saving this place from a 1 or 2 star rating, and it came with a pickle and a little pasta salad which was good too, but overall I expected a lot more. There are so many sandwich places on this little corner at Barrington Village, and I thought this one would finally be worth going to over Subway… but no… I’d rather have a 5 dollar footlong. Sorry La Strada.

I’m a fan. Good corned beef, good fries, what more do you want from your deli?
Friendly folks too!
Some of the other reviews seem a little tough. Somebody is really upset that the bologna tasted like Oscar Mayer? I guess what I’m saying is, if you’re looking for quality, don’t order balogna.
In sum, good place.

I had the Palermo panini. It was good, but not great. I’d probably go again to try a different sandwich.

Sandwiches are all named after Streets/​Towns in Los Angeles area. Clever, but you gotta back it up with tasty food. I wish this place was good since I live so close by, but alas, it was not to be…
The ingredients look so good, so why does the food taste so bland? I swear, it’s like eating air. I thought it might just be the sandwiches, so I tried a burger, and nope, still bland. It’s like the taste fairy passed over this restaurant and just hangs out at Bay Cities.
Oh, and the staff is incompetent. Can’t handle a 3 person line. The order is up and it just sits there while the employee keeps slicing meat or wiping down his stations. Priorities, people!

It’s risky and maybe unfair to judge a restaurant/​deli on the basis of a single item of the menu, but I’m doing it anyway:
The «Bellagio» sounded promising on paper: choice roast beef, sharp cheddar, hickory smoked bacon, avocado slices, sliced tomato on french roll.
Wow — what a disappointment — imagine being hyped up for a great film and then getting the equivalent of Pirates of the Caribbean 3.
The roast beef was tough, the bacon tasted like bacon bits, the avocado just plained sucked. No reason not to use fresh-​tasting produce in California. None at all.
But the kicker was the bread. I think they forgot to bake it.
