La Scala Pizzeria - Commack

The best pizza, garlic knots, and wonderful people—this is my favorite pizza place in the world!

Came here to celebrate a Birthday, but was worried because I haven't been here since before Covid. And I was concerned the food and service changed. Well I was concerned over nothing. The food was better than I remember. The waitress was great, after we were seated, they immediatly brought Garlic Knots to the table. The Garlic Knots were so soft it was like eating an out the oven biscuit, with Garlic baked in and garlic oil and Parmesan cheese on top. And they had some tomato spread that went well with it. I could of eaten a dozen of them. But that bread saved us money, because we didnt order appetizers. She ordered Angel Hair Primavera with Chicken. The portion was nice. Definitely food to take home, which was the next day's lunch. I wasn't sure what to get, so I went with their special, Honey-Glazed Half-Chicken over spicey/sweet Brussel Sprouts. I don't know how they cooked the chicken but I was tasting the Honey-Glaze within the meat. It was so good. Not huge fan of Brussel Sprouts, but it was the perfect compliment to the sweetness of the chicken. We enjoyed the meal so much, and glad we got there when we did. Because by the time we noticed the place was very busy. As we ate our meals, we enjoyed watching the other dishes being served. They do a great job with food presentation. But the waitress made the night for us, but definitely for me. Like i said, it was a birthday dinner, and we said that to the waitress as we were seated. When we finsihed and was enjoying the ambiance, without me asking the waitress, she brought over a small cup filled whip cream and a candle and sang Happy Birthday. Again, I didnt ask her to do this, she took it upon herself to do this. It's those small gestures that made the night even better. Love this place.

Food was okay, but the service was excellent. Ordered the following: 1. Spaghetti (Sauce 6/10) and meatballs (8/10) Okay 2. Lasagna (5/10) Meat was salty and excessive cheese on lasagna. I would've given 8 if the meat was not salty. 3. Pasta (Rigatoni Alla Vodka) Loved it and recommend it 9/10

I ordered the stuffed filet and it was absolutely amazing! Initially, I was a bit uncertain because La Scala is famous for its pizza and pasta, but I’m so glad I went with my choice. The garlic bread was the best I’ve ever tasted, and the staff were incredibly friendly! Thank you, La Scala!

The service is outstanding, but unfortunately, that's where the positive experience ends. Lately, the food has been just okay. Tonight, the meat was overcooked, and the meal was exceedingly salty. The Merlot was the worst I’ve ever tasted. Even the garlic knots are not what they used to be. It's all quite disappointing. I’ll still come by for a slice at lunchtime, but I'm done dining here in the evening.
