“My new favorite place in Port Jeff! Food is delicious, staff are great!! I used to manage an Italian restaurant in Manhattan, I tend to scrutinize restaurants, 2 thumbs up for Pasta Pasta, say it again!!! 😋 🍽 🍷“

“Happened upon this restaurant while visiting Port Jefferson. And glad we did. Got here early enough that we could get a table right away. Steve took great care of us without being overbearing. We started off with the stuffed mushrooms, which were so freaking good. For main course my husband got the Chicken & Sausage Scarpiello, and I had the Veal Scallopini - both were delicious. We finished off sharing the Rainbow Cookie Cheesecake. This exceeded my expectations. Everything was so good that my husband wants to go back tomorrow!“

“Love the food. Service and atmosphere.“

“The food here is great and the people are amazing. My husband and I had our wedding catered by CP Lamannos and I can’t even begin to tell you about the compliments we received. Michelle and her staff are the best!!! Please don’t take my word for it come down to the restaurant and try it for yourself.“

“Great service, delicious food!“

“6 of us had dinner ,don't understand why this place isn't packed each night. The food here is always fabulous. Had a lovely waitress and the food did not disappoint. Rice balls and sausage with cherry peppers as appetizers both excellent. Chicken franchise was tender and the side of spaghetti is usually a throw in but this place makes it special.

Parking: Plenty of parking.“

I definitely will be back in recommend this place to my friends and family. Haven’t had Italian food like this in a while. awesome experience if I could give a 10 star I will Definitely in place to check out“

“Pizza and calzones are always burnt, effecting the taste. Even when you ask the staff to cook it lightly, they still burn them. Calzones have way too much mozzarella cheese, and not enough ricotta cheese. Burnt is the norm here. Staff are friendly.“

“Amazing staff and food best pizza on Long Island by far“

“Portion sizes have downsized for sure. $5.75 for 1 white slice seemed high. Asked for garlic knots over plain bread several times but no ONE Is listening. Take out orders need more attention. We are in full renovation and are relying on Alfredo's“

“Picked up Three pies two hero’s the price is great. we ordered three different types deep dish. Thin. Crust and regular pie with meatballs five stars the meat balls really made the pie.“

“You can't find a single thing on the menu that isn't delicious. I've been here several times, and each time I try something different and am always happy with my choice. The portions are generous and the prices are in line with what you should pay for what you get. The servers are always pleasant, and the bussers are like ninjas in clearing used dinnerware. This is a restaurant to surely be a repeat customer.“

“Oh my God! This is the place I've been searching for. My years long hunt for 'authentic' Carbonara pasta is over. This restaurant is a perfect blend of comfortable surroundings, upscale finishes, and well presented, lovingly prepared cuisine. Wrapped in lovely ambience with friendly service dining here is a delight.“

“The BEST pizza in the world!“

“I came in there over the summer with my wife and my grandson, Gerald. We were greeted by a young lady by the name of Brooke. Let me tell ya, she was a wonderful waitress to mi familia y yo! She brightened up out dinner experience and made the whole restaurant glow with positivity. I have never experienced such amazing service in my 73 years of life. I especially want to thank her for being nice to my grandson. he has severe autism and she was just a doll! She even sang him happy birthday (he was turnin 7). I tell ya what, if I hadn't lost so much money to these darn taxes, I would've left a $100 tip for this sweet girl. PLEASE give miss Brooke a nice raise. And give her my best wishes. Hugs & Kisses, -Rupert, Gerald and family <3“

“I am the Executive Director at a local senior living community. Our residents have been requesting that we order takeout pizza to switch things up a bit for our dinner service. I placed a large order at the last minute and couldn't be more impressed with how kind and generous they were in the process. The pizza was delicious and our residents are now begging me to schedule another pizza night for them. Thank you Via Pizza for being a great local business that we are proud to support. I can't imagine we will be ordering pizza from anywhere else for the foreseeable future.“

“Their food is delicious...great service in a relaxed casual atmosphere..will definitely be back..❤️“

“Amazing food and service. So cute!“

“We love their vodka margarita pizza (if you haven’t it’s a must have). So we decided to have them cater our daughter’s birthday dinner. The catering packages were affordable, good selection, plenty of food and delicious. Everyone enjoyed their food and the pizza. They also delivered which was a huge plus. Thanks so much!! Definitely will be ordering again. Shout out to Autumn who was so helpful, easy to place an order with and pleasant.“

“Pizza was fantastic and the cheesy garlic knots are a must! They are open later than most places on a Saturday too!“

“I have ordered from Goomba Johnny's many times and have never been nothing more than satisfied. I usually order the 2 pie deal, granny pies are phenomenal. Will be a customer for many more orders! Thank you.“

“Wonderful food and relaxing atmosphere. I has the chicken special, which comes with entree, salad, side, dessert, and coffee for a very reasonable price. My ceasar salad was great. The bread with olive oil dipping sauce was tasty. My Chicken Marsala was hot, juicy, delicious, with no hint of oversalting. My angel hair side was hot and cooked to perfection. For dessert, the cannoli is to die for. Little explosions of sweetness and creaminess. The decaf is an honest cup of coffee. Not too strong, not too weak, no weird flavoring, and accompanies the cannoli perfectly.I’ve had the same meal here twice and it was fantastic both times.“

“Amazing! The Pupusas, carne asada tacos and the horchata was the best and freshest I’ve had. Will be a frequent flier here!“

“Some of the best pizza in Suffolk! Sal and his staff offer the absolute best service! Highly recommended. 💪“

“Last night was our 3rd time ordering from them. 2 times we did pick up and last night due to weather we did delivery! All 3 times we were blown away with the quality of food, taste and customer service we received! Amazing food and taste delicious. Everyone who works there is awesome and this is definitely our go to pizza place for now on! Thank you all“

“I was frantic trying to plan a last minute party … they were amazing with helping us with everything ! I got a trey of chicken franchise a salad and the meatball sliders and it was absolutely amazing ! The portions were great the taste was great and the price was great ! Highly recommend them to “

“Great food and great staff!!!“

“I mistakenly placed a catering order with Victor not realizing it was the wrong Luigi’s restaurant in a different state! Victor was kind and told me not to worry and I don’t owe a dime. Thank you!!!“

“Excellent food and staff was awesome!“

“This was my first time dinning in house, I highly recommend this restaurant, there is no doubt that I will be going back, from here on, this will be my hot spot.“

“Great atmosphere for a date night, but for takeout the personal pie is goated. For some reason it seems cheesier, tastier, and the temperature is much warmer than a full-size pie. And it is a great size for two people. It even reheats closer to fresh. On lunch special (check schedule) its a tad cheaper AND you get a drink.

My only peeve is that the heroes are pretty stingy. Compared to my nearby spot the Setauket Pastaria probably has half the meat. Granted the meat tastes slightly higher quality.

Love the employees. Never an issue with them.

I guess if I had any suggestions for improvement, I'd ask for a way to order zeppolis fresh. They go from a 5 to a 9/10 when they are fresh. I'd pay a premium for that.“

“Been going here for a while now. Very friendly staff always helpful. A lot of excellent food choices. Everything from pizza, Italian food, green gyros and salads, and even empanadas! Would highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area.

Parking: Parking spaces are shared with the general plaza but pretty close to the store. Plenty of spots to park usually.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes. They have wheelchair accessible parking on site.“
