Arugula Topped Pies Carry Over 40 Years in Howard Beach
Wood fired pizza anchors a broad menu of pastas, entrees, and salads, with classic sit down plates alongside shareable starters.
🍕 Pies With a Family History
Start with the crust. La Villa brings a wood fired edge to a menu that moves easily from arugula and prosciutto pies to tomato and mozzarella topped toast, then keeps going through pasta, entrees, salads, and shareable appetizers. The crust arrives blistered at the edges, with fresh toppings that keep the pie bright and balanced.
The menu works for a family table, a casual group dinner, or a slower plate by plate catch up. Fresh ingredients keep the cooking straightforward, while the menu gives everyone room to find a lane. That staying power is clear, with over 40 years of service in Howard Beach behind the location at 82-07 153rd Ave.
Diners rate the restaurant 4.5 across 1,513 reviews. The kitchen opens at 11:00 AM Monday through Saturday and at 12:00 PM on Sunday, with Friday and Saturday service running to 9:45 PM. Order with an appetite, notice the blistered edges on the pie, and leave space for the rest of the Italian spread.
