La Pizza — Restaurant in Harrison

La Pizza has OK food, good prices and abhorrent service. Besides ordering food from this location uneventfully on several occasions, here's why this location doesn't deserve your business.

On 10/28/2018 I was returning to my condo on a busy street when a parked car with the La Pizza topper was left unattended with its hazard lights on. As a result, I had to stop and wait in traffic for the driver to return and move his car. If my phone hadn't died right then, I'd have called a policeman to issue a citation or at least taken a proper photo of the license plate. Instead all I've got is dashcam video of it, which isn't enough to issue a summons to the business. Anyway, the owner's response explains why they're not deserving of your business.

I called the location and explained what had occurred. The owner acknowledged it and apologized eventually, to which I explained I was not satisfied. I showed up the following business day and explained once again - the owner, again, didn't care one bit. He didn't care that I was inconvenienced one bit.

I don't know about you, but if I had a delivery driver impede someones access to their home I'd at the VERY LEAST least acknowledge that the driver was incorrect to have done so. That's literally all I ever wanted, though it'd be nice to know the owner cared more. For these reasons and more I cannot...

I live close by which the only reason I go here, and yeah, this is my last straw. On a good day, they have mediocre pie or a bad day, it’s going to dried out with no saving it. Today, I was surprised to find a fresh cheese pie. Score!

First of all, the girl charged me double, and when I pointed it out before swiping, I was met with the Gen Z stare. Again, I pointed it out. She repeated the incorrect number. More staring. I corrected her again. Finally, I paid.

Then, I realized that the fresh pie was untouched. I pointed out that I wanted the fresh pie. More staring. This went on until my slice is ready and the guy handed me the slice. At this point, I’m like, “fine.”

I get home and it’s the most disgusting dried out slice ever. I threw it out.

Also, do NOT order a burger here. I made that mistake a few months ago. Cheap frozen burgers on top of a bun that was burnt, yet frozen bread on the inside. The fries were good, though.

Edited to add: This was not the girl with the glasses. She’s super nice and...

I grabbed the Masala dosa with lentil stew that came with some kind of green stuff for $4 here. It's actually a really filling meal, and cheap, but it felt kind of lacking in flavor for me. It's great that it was mostly Indian families here, but I expected a bit more. I got the more mild version as I don't enjoy the kind of spicy that burns all the way down (as well as on the way out), but I still got that heat in the mild version. I can only imagine how spicy the hot version is.

I'm not a vegetarian or vegan or gluten-free eater or any of that, and I much prefer meat in my dishes, but I can still appreciate meals without meat in them, and this wasn't it.

I'll definitely be back to try something else when I'm in the neighborhood, but I felt like the high rating didn't justify the dosa. You also have a be a freakin' vulture when getting a seat here, I totally lucked out with someone leaving, but boy it...
