Went to a local farm with my family and friends. Decided we would try to find pizza for the kids (5 under 5yo). Us adults could enjoy a nice meal before heading back home from a long day. Well after googling “best pizza near me” came back with several restaurants but we decided La Vespa seemed like the place to go. Well I must say “hidden gem” is right on the money. It’s tucked away in a small string of stores, but the minute you walk in you are transported somewhere...

La Vespa Pizza is truly a hidden gem in Shirley. I’ve ordered from them twice, and the quality has been excellent each time. The crust is perfect, and the ingredients are fresh and generously portioned. On one occasion, I went in for pickup and was pleasantly surprised—the restaurant is beautifully decorated with a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it a great spot for a casual date. Their pizza comes highly recommended!

Very nice place and service. Definitely recommend for a slice of pizza or a proper lunch/dinner.
I had a cannoli and it could have been more fresh but the pizza and dinner outweighs it.
