Welcome to La Crosta Woodfire Pizzeria Italiana. Here we share our vision of authentic Italian traditional pizza, which dates back to the Greco-Roman period and starts with fresh, high quality ingredients. Many of them are flown in from Italy, including our tomatoes, flour and burrata cheese. Our dough is handmade daily. In fact, La Crosta in Italian means “the crust” and we believe our fluffy crust is the best in the business. In all, I’ve created a comfortable restaurant for you and your friends to spend time together and create new memories.

    We have been frequent diners at Ba-Ba-Reeba for many years. The food and experience has remained consistent. I wish they would bring back some of the staples like endive salad and the banana dessert. The menu feels smaller than it used to, but overall still great!

    Had a great experience at an early Sunday dinner. The happy hour situation allowed us to try a ton of apps. Fantastic... especially the pork meatballs and the prawns. Entrees were great, too -- she had the sea bass and I had the duck curry. We also shared a papaya salad, which was both bright and spicy! The birthday dessert ice cream was a nice touch. Overall, a very pleasant, delicious dining experience!

    Great small Italian pizza spot. We sat in the rear away from door on a snowy night so nice and warm. We were right next to the kitchen but did not even realize until we got up to leave. It was very busy and full but not hectic. The artichoke appetizer was something we had not had before but was delicious and not too heavy before pizza. The Cesar salad was good size, fresh and crispy but could use a touch more flavor. The pizza was excellent, light airy and delicious. Thin crust hot out of the oven, you can easily eat a few slices. The service was quick but not rushed. If you are looking for a nice neighborhood spot for pizza, this is it.
