What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
La Prima Pizza is a family-owned spot praised for its delicious pizza and friendly service, offering a comfortable atmosphere and good value. While many rave about the pizza and pasta dishes, some customers have experienced issues with slow service, incorrect orders, and unexpected fees.
"Family owned restaurant (they also have one in Calistoga) in quaint and oft-overlooked St Helena. Napa gets the fame for sharing a name with the valley, but there’s a couple other locales that are cuter, quieter, and just as a nice experience in wine country.
This place has very friendly and helpful service, clean bathrooms, nice atmosphere, and comfortable booth seating. Upstairs there’s more seating. The outdoor seating on the balcony! would be an awesome place to replenish from wine tasting and plan the rest of the day to other wineries while you watch the Wine Train roll by.
If you choose to give a thumbs-up 👍🏽 or not, I hope you found my review helpful!"

"I'm 54 and grew up in St. Helena. I'm just saying that my parents hung out there as teenagers!! My daughter and my 1 year old granddaughter were with me. Therefore, I thought that La Prima was a perfect choice. Dang, was I wrong! We decided on a chicken and mushroom pizza with a garlic ranch sauce. We decided to order a grill cheese for my granddaughter. Easy!! Of course, we decided to sit outside, upstairs. Perfect!! Our order was delivered promptly and with a smile. We noticed that the grill cheese sandwich had lettuce and tomato on it. When we asked why, we were told that's just how it comes. Moving forward, there was a super thin sauce that didn't have a hint of garlic. The pizza was cooked great, and the toppings were good, but a bit more sauce with actual garlic would have been great. However, next time I'm in town, I think we will be going to Giuni's Deli instead!!"

"Got a pizza here on my lunch break and was told that I was being charged a fee to use an ATM card (after my card was swiped) I asked how much the fee was and the cashier started giving me attitude and said "it's a percentage" and that it "depends on the order". I asked several times what the fee was and this guy just kept saying " I don't know. Like I told you, it depends on the order". I wasn't asking an unreasonable question and not sure why I was getting lip about it. Besides being sick of fees, charging a fee on percentage is bs, then being rude about it is crazy. Never going back or getting pizza here for company events again. Plenty of good food in St Helena."
