The waitress was very friendly despite the language barrier (French/Dutch). The place had a nice atmosphere and decor. However, the pizzas were average... the dough was elastic... there wasn't much variety (only ham and cheese)... the desserts were mediocre. An unordered drink was added to the bill... in short, if there's anything else to do in Laren, go for it!

Atmospheric restaurant with friendly (partly Italian) staff. Delicious pizzas and pasta on the menu.

The food was delicious, and the price and quality were excellent. There were eight of us, and the service was also fantastic. Highly recommended, until next time! 🫡

Avoid if you are celiac and care for any type of decent service.

Did not have gluten-free pizza dough, despite being notified during the reservation in addition to a follow-up call. During the call, La Vespa confirmed they would have gluten-free pizzas. However, upon ordering, we were notified they had run out of gluten-free dough. Brought the wrong bottle of wine and overall extremely poor and rude service from the dark-haired assistant manager.

- Pizza: Nothing special very normal quality for a wooden oven; dough need better fermentation
- Free parking (max 4 hours)

Very cute Italian place with a lovely design. Even the toilets are pretty and the food tasted awesome. It’s something you can only achieve in such a stone oven and we recommend the Italian ice tea ❤️

Me and my friends stumbled upon this place while looking for dinner. And the pizza’s were really good, only the service was lacking a bit. Unsure if they don’t have enough staff or if they just lack some training. Additionally, I ordered a “cheesecake”, however this was not a cheesecake. It was nice, however they should not advertise it as such and should rename to just a cake.

Greatly recommend this wooden oven pizzeria, the dough is simply amazing, airy and crispy, just yum. Also sampled both the cheesecake and tiramisu, the tiramisu is hands down the winner, the mascarpone is so fluffy, an absolute delight !
You do have to reserve to make sure you get a spot
