La Scala Pizzeria - Commack

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

If you go to La Scala and you think this is just another pizza place, but if you let you know that you have participated in a particular place.

The food did not have flavor but black pepper. Meatballs were almost supermarket worthy, sauce was watery, and the only taste was black pepper. The calamari was gross and the mozzarella sticks were from Costco. I'm truly disappointed. I didn't taste the other dishes we bought but the review was not good. I hate leaving an unpleasant review but coming from someone who cooks authentic Italian dishes, I will not be coming back. If I would have seen a hint of parsley or had a taste of garlic in my marinara this place would have gotten a better review. I hope that you are able to be open minded and see what others are putting out there for take out. Right now this restaurant doesn't compete. I may have ordered the wrong thing but out of 4 dishes something should have hit 4 stars. I also compensate for this coming from take out and not being as fresh as it could have been.

Very friendly. Always fresh food. My go to slice is the chicken cesear salad.
