Stopped by one of my favorite local restaurants today and as usual was greeted with a warm smile from Becki, the waitress. No sooner had I removed my jacket and situated she was next to me with my ice tea and ready to take my order. No need for a menu here as I have it permanently etched in my mind. If you are ever in the Indian lake region whether it be business or pleasure, LaPizzeria Restaurant is a must stop for good food, service and friendly atmosphere. LaPizzeria is a locally owned restaurant that genuinely appreciates it's customers and keeps them coming back. LaPizzeria is located on St. Rt. 366 on the south east side of Indian lake at the entrance to the Indian Isles. Ask any local and they will steer you in the right direction. Restaurant is open Wednesday thru Sunday for lunch and dinner. Also open Saturday and Sunday morning for breakfast. Give the breakfast pizza a try, you won't be disappointed. Their lunch and dinner menu ranges from daily specials, appetizers, salads, sandwiches, spaghetti, steaks and of course their excellent pizzas. TJ and the crew in the kitchen are always hard at work to get your order out to you. They also deliver locally. Great way to have lunch delivered to work, but call ahead. Stop by and introduce your self to Randy, the owner. A great guy who also does a lot for local youth organizations and activities, but don't bring up sports. You may not get away!
