La Pizza

La Pizza is one of the only places in St. Louis where you can get an authentic New York-style pizza. It’s a small shop, mostly set up for takeout with a few small tables for dining in.

The atmosphere is very much a friendly neighborhood joint and the vibes are truly 10/10. We showed up one night when they were busy with take out orders for the rest of the night, and they managed to fit us in and make us a fresh pizza and wings. We got a sausage and pepperoni pizza.

As much as I liked the place and the people, I thought the pizza was just okay. One thing is I’m not a fan of strips of sausage, which I know is just the way it’s often done with NY-style, so I need to learn my lesson and just get pepperoni (the midwest in me just always wants the bulk sausage on my pizza). The crust was a little bland to me. I thought it was an overall decent pizza, I just probably wouldn’t go out of my way for it.
