I am adding a bit of spice to my mundane business travel by trying to hit Diners, Drive Ins and Dives spots. This was my first stop - and it was an overall "wow" experience. Traveling alone, I arrived around 7:30 pm and sat at the counter overlooking the kitchen and pizza prep area, and right into the amazing wood... More

My wife and I met another couple here right after work on a Friday night. I got our name in around 5:30, and everyone arrived within ten minutes and we were seated. Within 1/2 hour there was a fairly significant line waiting to be seated. The place is a bit cramped, but with an interesting decor. There is an outside... More

Great service, great pizza...very original choices. We had one with speck and asparagus...fantastic. Plus the photo booth in back is a cool touch.

We went here for lunch on a Friday. It was very busy but we luckily did get a table. We shared a meat & cheese platter for an appetizer. Everything on it was great - loved the spicy mustard with the meats! We ordered two pizzas, one was a special with asparagus on it, it was tasty but a bit... More

We saw this restaurant on Food network and decided to go visit. We had Lady za-za (kimchi pizza) and Korean BBQ. They were fantastic! Lady za-za can be very spicy for some people. If you remove sliced green peppers, it is less spicy. Korean BBQ was very good - not spicy. Awesome pizzas. I would love to come back and... More

We were intrigued and eager to try Pizzeria Lola after seeing the Diners/Drive-Ins/Dives episode some time ago. Pizzeria Lola is really not a diner, or a drive in... and certainly not a dive. We shared a weekly special pizza, which had sliced asparagus, prosciuttio, and a honey truffle oil...it was absolutley to die for! We both especially loved the thin,... More

We heard great things about Pizzeria Lola, 5 sisters, mother and aunt met here for lunch. We all tried different pizza, their spring special was the best with thin sliced asparagus. Our waiter was great and did a great job putting up with 7 crazy ladies! Nice wine choices, only down side they didn't have outdoor seating for us and... More

Great food, good atmosphere, really cool copper pizza oven. Nice selection of both beer and wine. Bar is SRO, wait is a little long, but worth it.

We had a great lunch at Pizzeria Lola. Located literally in the middle of a residential neighborhood, it was a little odd but the food was great. The restaurant itself has a cool vibe centered around the large copper pizza oven. We arrived around 12:30 on a Saturday and there were people waiting to be seated. Because we just needed... More
