  1. I've only ordered pizza for delivery but it is one of the better pizzas in the neighborhood. It is by far one of the biggest pizzas I've ordered while also being the cheapest.  Medium pizzas are $13 and for a single dollar more, you can get a LARGE. They even come with a garlic knot in the center of the pie as a little added bonus.  Delivery is quick and the guys are always friendly.  They even make the hike up a few flights (I live in a walk up).I tried the pasta once and it left something to be desired. If I am ordering, it is for the pizza and maybe an order of fries or a beef patty. I usually ask for everything to be cooked well done to avoid any sogginess that can occur with pizzas or fries. Be aware, sometimes it can be really greasy but nothing a well placed paper towel cannot fix.

  2. Felt like walking into a pizzeria from a movie scene, has that kinda old school aura to it.

    my son tried the sausage/onion and buffalo chicken slices. he loved both!

    Hearty slices, you may have to use knife & fork to start. they're very generous with the toppings.  This is our new upper east side pizza stop.

  3. My hubby and I dropped in to La Nostra because I hadn't eaten all day and was starving.  I'm not a huge fan of pizza but I decided to try it out for a regular slice.

    The staff is extremely friendly and patient, considering the fact that I was hemming and hawing as to which kind of slice I wanted.  I finally chose a nice Tomato Margherita-type slice which had a nice thin crust and was pretty big.  The price was so bad, either.

    If I'm in the area, I would definitely return.  They do a good job with their pizza.

  4. The slices here are always on point and the workers are always nice.

  5. The other weekend a bunch of us descended upon The Duck to do some drinking! Of course the urge to feast came upon us after a few rounds of cheap booze. It's always a plus when a dive bar lets you bring in food from outside. This is where La Nostra comes in. As they are literally across the street from them, and the only pizza joint in the area, I ran over to grab a pie.

    The place is set up as a basic NYC pizza shop, except this one has a kind of gangsta vibe with pictures of famous tv and movie gangsters on the walls. Ordered up a large pie which they made fresh for me. Decent pizza pie here. Heavy on the oil and lots of cheese. I usually like a little more sauce on my pies but this one was ok. Maybe it helped that I had a lot of beer in me. $13 for a large pie, and $2.25 for a regular slice or Sicilian slice. The normal menu of pizza joint items. Not bad at all.

    What was bad were the bathrooms. They are pretty nasty, and the place itself had no AC on and it was humid as heck outside. It's never a good sign when the bathrooms look like you don't want to touch anything in them.

    Go for the pizza. Avoid the bathrooms.
