La Bona Pizza — Restaurant in Old Tappan

Let me tell you—this pizza? It’s not just good. It’s life-changing. One bite in and I felt like I understood every love song ever written. The cheese is perfectly melted, pulling into those satisfying strings when you lift a slice, like it’s trying to hang on to you because it knows it’s about to make your entire day better.

The crust? Don’t even get me started. Golden, crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside. It’s got that slight chew, like it knows how to make an entrance and a graceful exit. It’s not just a base—it’s a foundation. It’s holding up greatness and doing it proudly.

And the sauce. Oh, the sauce. Tangy, sweet, rich, a little bit herby. You can tell it was made with love—or at least by someone who knows tomatoes better than they know most people. It’s not just there to fill space; it’s actively participating in the flavor party happening in your mouth.

The toppings are stacked like they were chosen by destiny. Pepperoni that curls at the edges, catching just enough crisp. Mushrooms that melt like butter. Bell peppers adding a crunch that’s a whole subplot. Every bite is like a perfectly orchestrated scene in a movie where the hero wins and everyone cries tears of joy.

And the smell? That smell is illegal in at least three countries. You get a whiff and suddenly you’re twelve years old again, sitting in your favorite pizzeria after soccer practice, feet swinging off the chair, and life is simple. That’s the power this pizza holds.

I don’t know what kind of magic went into making it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it involved a pizza wizard or some ancient dough recipe passed down by culinary monks in the mountains. I would thank them all personally if I could.

Honestly, if someone proposed to me with this pizza instead of a ring, I’d probably say yes. It’s warm, dependable, and makes me happier than most...

First of all the owner Ally is just as amazing as the food. The pizza has that perfect slight crunch, salads delicious and service fantastic. I work next door, had 20 Realtors in last week and every one of them raved about the pizza we served. Can't wait to try everything else on the menu. A welcome addition to Old Tappan ... thanks La Bona and welcome...

Tried La Bona for the first time tonight it did not disappoint! I’ve been searching for an authentic, “back to the basics” slice, and let me tell you, it was DELICIOUS!! A welcome new surprise in town, and the pizza is seriously so good. The plain cheese pie is how pizza should be made. And don’t miss out on the granny pie...
