Since opening its doors on Clove Road late last year, La Vera Pizzeria has quickly become a local favorite — and for good reason. What started as a hopeful replacement for a beloved neighborhood layer has transformed into a consistently praised stop for pizza lovers and Italian food fans on Staten Island.
A Welcome Return to Thin-Crust Tradition
Residents who had sorely missed a great thin-crust slice say La Vera delivers exactly that. Reviews recently shared online emphasize the crisp, light bite that sets this pie apart from heavier, doughier alternatives. Whether it’s a quick lunch slice or a whole pie for dinner, the crust — balanced with flavorful sauce and quality cheese — is winning repeat customers.
Delivery That Doesn’t Disappoint
In an era where delivery quality can vary widely, multiple diners note that La Vera’s delivery game is dependable. Orders tend to arrive hot and on time — with pizzas intact and sides like garlic bread and fried zucchini still fresh and flavorful upon arrival. This combination of speed and quality has helped La Vera carve out a solid reputation among local carry-out and delivery orders.
More Than Just Pizza
While the pies remain the centerpiece, reviewers appreciate that the kitchen executes a broader range of Italian classics well. From pasta dishes cooked “just right” to apps and salads that round out a meal, La Vera isn’t being pigeonholed as just “another pizza place.”
What Locals Are Saying
Highlights from recent reviews include:
-
“Perfect replacement for what we lost… quickly becoming a favorite.”
-
“Reliable, excellent food, and strong delivery.”
-
“Pizza crisp without being greasy.”
There are some more moderate notes from wider pizza review communities (e.g., scoring in the low 7s), but these tend to favor the classic, comforting pizza experience over trendier, “gourmet” pies — which is exactly what La Vera’s local fan base seems to enjoy.
Final Take
After about three months in operation, La Vera Pizzeria isn’t just surviving — it’s thriving as a community staple. With strong word-of-mouth, solid delivery performance, and consistently praised food quality, this spot has earned itself a place in Staten Island’s local pizza rotation.
