| - We tried La Pizzetta with very high hopes but unfortunately left very disappointed. When we arrived we were met very nicely by one of the waitstaff and sat immediately. I have to say that all of the staff were very nice, so no issues with the staff or the service. The restaurant is quite small and it was pretty full when we got there. Shortly after we sat the main table left and the restaurant was pretty calm. For some reason it took over an hour to get our food. We ordered three pizzas and one pasta dish, nothing that should take so long. I was not bothered by the wait though as we like to sit and talk, never being in a rush to eat. Also, the staff realized that something was not right and offered us some warm bread and oil as a result of the delay. Once the food came we were happy to finally eat. I ordered a pasta dish and to be honest it was quite good and I would eat it again. However, my wife and kids did not like the pizzas at all. My daughter had a simple Margherita pizza, but it was soggy and under cooked on the bottom.She ate two pieces and left the rest. I tried it as well and did not even finish one piece. My son had a pepperoni pizza which had almost no pepperoni to speak of, and he said the taste was just not very good. This one was well cooked, not soggy, but the flavors were not authentic. My wife had a pizza as well, with vegetables and some meats, she finished most of it but said she would not go back. Keep in mind that we are a very diverse pizza family. We do not eat garbage pizza like Dominos, Pizza Hut, or Papa John's...we only eat traditional NY style pizza as well as Neapolitan style, traditional style from Italy. We hunt all over the valley for good pizza, and we travel all over the world as a family and search out great pizza wherever we go. We also make our own pizza in home with 100% authentic ingredients from the flour to the San Marzano tomatoes, so we know good pizza. Unfortunately this restaurant did not make the grade for us and we will not be returning or recommending this place to any of our friends. It is sad as they have a nice convenient location and good pizza of any sort would be welcome to the neighborhood.
