What can I say?
I was going to write this review tomorrow because I didn't think I would have the energy to do it when I arrived home.
But I do.
This small section of the 9th district needed this place. In an area dominated by residential apartments and old, dusty businesses which haven't updated their sign for 50 years - this restaurant is a breath of fresh air.
I'm writing this review because I don't want this establishment to be forgotten like many of the small enterprises which try to make money in this square kilometre.
If you're thinking about going here...do it. I'll save you the time and tell you right now that the pizza is delicious. You can tell that their is true craftsmanship behind the dough - and it's well-priced too.
But that's not what made me write this.
I'm writing this because here, you will get special service. You will see beautifully-decorated walls which create a relaxed and fun atmosphere. You will be served by friendly and attentive staff who make you feel welcome. You will eat ingredients which you can taste are fresh from the first bite and you leave with a smile on your face.

The menu covers the classics but also offers something different now and then – a seasonal dish or a more creative take, without trying too hard. The overall quality has been very stable over time.
Service is friendly and respectful without being over the top. You get the sense that the owners genuinely care about the place, and that shows in how it’s run.
Even though I live on the other side of the city, I don’t mind coming back regularly – that alone speaks for itself. A solid choice for anyone looking for well-made Italian food in...
Read moreWhat I like the most about this restaurant is its breezy interior and how spacious it is, with so much natural light. For those who crave pizzas but prefer not to sit too close to your neighbor tables then La Strada is perfect for you. It also can casually pass as a perfect spot for business lunch. The background music was pleasant. It is also the first pizza restaurant I’ve come across that was squeaky clean. From the table top, the floor to the toilet. I was very impressed! The La Strada guys were genuinely nice and chill. They were super duper generous with the toppings. When you take everything into account you’ll easily find their price very reasonable (starting from €8-13.) I held half a star back only because the cheese was a bit too mild...
