🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 La Traviata Pizzeria is an absolute gem! 🍕 We enjoyed a delicious Margherita and Pepperoni pizza, paired perfectly with Coca-Cola 🥤. The flavors were authentic and mouthwatering! The place has been owner-operated for 35 years, and I was delighted to be served by the owner's son, who provided really good service. 😊 The warm and welcoming atmosphere made the experience even better. Highly recommend for a great meal and excellent service! 🍕❤️

Fantastic spot for slices in Lincoln Square area. This place is definitely a hole in the wall type of spot, but slices are great: thin, crispy, great cheese to sauce ratio. Just what you’re looking for in an NYC slice. Plain slice and canned soda for under $5 which is pretty good for lunch in this area. They have a nice slice assortment each day, and plenty of beverages to choose from. Service is quick and kind. They offer delivery and also have some outdoor seating. There’s not too much “indoor”, but the outdoor area is covered so that’s nice. I will be coming back regularly, so glad to have found this gem.

La Traviata on the Upper West Side serves up one of the best slices of pizza that you will ever have. (Our favorite is their margarita style pizza) We found this place by total accident as the establishment looks like, and is, a hole in the wall as you walk by it. Make no mistake, though. The pizza here is out of this world. We have ordered take-out from La Traviata many dozens of times over the years. Between Patsy's up the street, and here, you have two homeruns as far as amazing pizzas go on the UWS and in all of NYC, for that matter.

Best NYC pizza period. I’ve tried many a regular slice all over this country and from my experience this is the gold standard. Not too much cheese, sauce is a little sweet, crust is thin, bottom of the crust is crisp. And the consistency is excellent. You can get a tourist slice of pizza for a dollar at Times Square, and if that’s what you want good for you. But this is a real NYC pizzeria.

Maybe it's a little bit too oily and too salty for my standards. But while I was there there was a lots of people coming in the store. So it must be a popular one.

A simple NY-style pizza place. Only 4 small tables inside and a few standing tables outside. I grabbed a slice and fan of soda for about $5.50. The service was quick and the pizza good. I recommend it for a quick bite.

Excellent place to grab a quick slice before a movie. The lrg drinks are the tradional size for lrg but seems xtra large because of the shrinkflation we are experiencing.

Great small spot with a large, delicious looking selection of pizzas right when you walk in the door. Extensive menu, nice amount of toppings (flavorful pepperoni!), and they heat your slice up in the oven when you order it. Worth stopping by if it’s late, you’re in the area and want a quick slice of something tasty.

Wednesday Jan 28, 2026: Picked up one order of "end of the day" pizza. Asked how many slices the order comes with - the man behind the counter said 4 slices and gave us a choice. Everything was going well up until this point. Then all of a sudden out of nowhere, a female employee came up and said we only get 3 slices. We asked if they could heat up pizza so we could eat there - they said no. Since they wouldn't allow us to dine in, I asked for an extra bag so my friend and I could split up the slices (1 person take home 1 slice, another person take home 2 slices). The female employee immediately got upset and said NO! Simply over asking for another PAPER bag that probably costs 10 cents?! Unbelievable. As we were leaving, a well-dressed man entered the store. The same female employee who had just berated me greeted him sweetly "Hello Sir." My friend later told me that perhaps the employee mistakenly thought I was asking for "another bag of pizza" instead of another PAPER bag. She should have clarified before jumping to conclusions. In my years of living in NYC, this is the only pizza place I've been to which puts pizza slices into paper bags (typically 3+ slices go into a box). Morale of the story: DON'T ASSUME, TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS WITH RESPECT, TREAT THEM EQUALLY. The man who initially helped us was so kind. I feel bad for employees who have to work with this female employee. We won't return because pizza wasn't that tasty (FROZEN broccoli) and lady's customer service left a sour taste in our mouths. It's also a very small store with only 3 tables and questionable cleanliness.

Preordered 2 pizzas with a scheduled delivery time of 7pm through the restaurant’s website. Our order delivered almost 2 hours late and neither of the pizzas had any of the toppings we had ordered (one was supposed to be pepperoni and the other pepperoni and sausage but both came with just cheese). Including tip, I spent $96 for this.

They stole money off my card. I ordered 2 slices and a drink. I look on my bank account and it’s $115 taken out. I return to the place to get things straightened. Owner says it was a mistake. At 3 pm he’d return the funds. It’s been 5 days now and my bank says they took another payment out $11 for the original charge but there is no refunds. I called and the owner acted like he wasn’t there and hung up on me. I called back and explained what the bank said, miraculously he’s the owner now. I am filing a police report for theft. I plan to bring charges and awareness because I may not be the first person they’ve done this too. I will also bring media attention to the restaurant and their scams.

Horrible service , I come here on a daily basis actually really nice in person but when you order on uber eats there are very rude , i placed an order and they changed the price as my order is being prepared, didn’t call me or send me a message or anything , it wasn’t a big change it was an extra 5$ but I think the respectable thing to do is call customer and advise price change because “we forgot to update menu prices” . But not catch an attitude when customer calls to ask y prices was updated by 5$ . Lost a loyal customer
