    Overall, Lazzara's is worth its salt, and you should seek it out. The pizza is outstanding, the pasta is too, even the salads were very tasty and fresh. I like how their pepperoni is cut into little matchstick pieces. You also can't go wrong with their regular cheese pie. Their thin crust is artfully made. I’m no expert, but there is surely some precise science in the ingredients and process for their pizza that make it so excellent. It was all nice on a warm spring day with a limoncello spritz. The service was rushed though. This was surprising because when we arrived (5:15pm on a Saturday with beautiful spring weather), they sat us right down, since they had "so many open tables right now." We were happy to have gotten there nice and early, as we suspected Lazzara's would get much busier a couple hours later. So, we figured we would be able to take our time. Unfortunately, we felt like we were being hustled through the courses. We were only a few minutes into appetizers when they brought out all the entrees, and jam-packed them onto the table because "we always get everything to fit one way or another" - and I was thinking, yeah, maybe because you wait for folks to finish their apps first, and then clear those off to make room for dinner? Also, they kept trying to take our drinks, which we were not finished with. By the end of our meal, half of the tables were still empty - I couldn't understand the need to rush us around.

    Service was terrible! Had to get up and ask for silverware and water! Alfredo was swimming in sauce and bread was burnt! VERY over rated

    Great pizza and ambiance. Only minor complaint is waiter asked for a cash tip. I did so, but to ask beforehand is not appropriate.

    I have been there in the past and the pizza was so very good- worthy of portnoy. This time the pizza was fair at best. Disappointed!!!

    Food was okay, but not a near as good as expected. Service was awful. Was only waited on once and had to wait almost 1 hr to get someone’s attention to bring us a check. Save the time and go to Joe’s! Better pizza, better service!

    Really great New York style thin crust pizza. Highly recommend. Make sure you order a full, it’s only 6 small squares.
