Lazzara's Pizza is a hole in the wall amidst a bunch of smoke stained factories in the Garmnet District. It was a good find by Cindy who used to work in the area. One would have to be very familiar with the area to know the restaurant. It's not very noticeable at the corner of 38th St. & 7th Avenue. It doesn't have a bright sign or exterior. Like The Holy Basil, it just looks like a walk-up apartment unit. We had a little cousins' get-together there to celebrate Evelyn's belated Birthday. It was a good central location for everyone to meet after work.


Since they're known for their pizza, we ordered 3 to share + one bowl of pasta. For details on each food item, visit the Picasa album.

The service was pretty good. They got us seated and were OK with waiting for the whole party to arrive. The value was not bad. It's about normal to spend $12-15 for an Italian dinner. I just thought the pizzas were a little on the small side. It's about $12-16 per pie and each one is sliced Sicilian style into 6 pieces.
