La Pizza Italia
7.8
A true late-night utility shop on Avenue A—open deep into the night—where the pizza is the practical move when you need something hot and filling without a sit-down. Best when you keep it simple: one or two slices and you’re out, before the order turns into a long wait.

Cheese slice, Vodka sauce slice, Pepperoni slice

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited late at night and competitive on weekends.
Dress code: Very casual—jeans, hoodies, and late-night comfort wear are the norm.
Noise level: Moderate to loud—quick orders, open door traffic, and late-night energy.
Weekend wait: 5–10 minutes per slice late night; longer if ordering multiple specialty slices.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait; quick in-and-out service.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—cheese, vodka, and veggie slices are usually available.
Vegan options: Very limited—no dedicated vegan cheese; plain sauce-only slice may be possible.
Gluten-free options: No—standard flour crust only.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal—this is a functional late-night slice stop with minimal seating and a fast pace.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There’s no reservation system—this is counter service with limited or no seating.
Is it kid-friendly? Fine for older kids during earlier hours, but late-night crowds and noise make it better for teens and adults.
Best For
Better for: Reliable late-night slices when most Avenue A options are closed; fast, filling, and inexpensive.
Skip if: You want artisanal pies, sit-down dining, or dietary accommodations—look elsewhere for quality-forward or daytime pizza.
