Review: La Nella Pizza in Flower Mound

Postby Common Sense Al » Fri Apr 11, 2008 8:20 pm

For lunch today my wife and I decided to order a pizza from La Nella Pizza since they deliver to Lantana and someone had asked about them on this forum. They are located near Sprouts on 1171 in Flower Mound.

We ordered an extra large thick crust Sicilian special pizza that comes with 6 toppings. It was $20.95 plus tax.

It took 1 hour and 20 minutes to get here (Larkspur, Lantana)! Part of the reason is that these thick crust pizzas take longer to cook, but also they are far away and the construction probably slowed them down. I'm a bit surprised that it makes sense for them to have free delivery to Lantana considering how far away they are, the price of gas, and the delays caused by the distance to Lantana and the road construction.

Pizza temperature upon arrival (2 out of 5):
:( :(

The pizza was good but not great. I think it was worth a tad bit over 3 smileys but not 3.5. It did have a lot of toppings on it but may have been a little soggy in some areas. Also, I thought it would be a square pizza, but it was rectangular and thus smaller than I expected, especially for "extra large".

Sicilian pizza rating (3.25 out of 5):
:) :) :) 1/4

For the price, I'd say Nick's Pizza Pasta Delivery is a better pizza and it's also cheaper.

i have found that now it takes me so long to get home that I don't like to get takeout and bring it home because it usually is cold and doesn't taste good. I guess pizza is becoming one of those things due to the construction that will be difficult to get in a timely tasty fashion.

Ugh, I was hoping for a better review! :cry:

Al, in comparing your reviews, is it safe to safe you would prefer Johnny Brusco's (that's where we've been going lately)?

Closest Chicago pizza is in Keller. Little Joe's famous Chicago Pizza. They have 3 locations on the South Side (of Chicago that is). They have both thin and pan.

Al,

After reviewing your reviews, do you think you could take a picture of all your reviews? I like seeing the pictures of what they look like. Oh, by the way, I guess you like the supreme pizza, but I would like to see one with just pepperoni and mushrooms :lol:

You mean provide photos in all reviews? I try to do so when I can... but if I eat out, I'm usually with my wife and she doesn't like me taking out the camera and taking pictures of the food. :lol:
