Welcome to
La Sorrentina

If you’re hungry for Neapolitan-style pizza, but don’t have a plane ticket to Naples, Italy, get yourself to La Sorrentina. Yes, you can have your Julia Roberts’ Eat, Pray, Love moment here in Vancouver, WA. As much as I love the more common New York Style pizza served everywhere, I also love this style of thin crust, delicately-charred pizza at its base with its puffy, airy crust around the sides. The fresh ingredients that they use here ties everything together so that you can eat it with a fork and knife, just as they do in Naples.

We were also happy with the calamari, spaghetti with clams, and cannoli.
I just knew pizzaiolo Matsumoto would do justice to the fried and tempura-like calamari/shrimp/vegetables and he did—–I could have eaten platters of it. The spaghetti came with a generous amount of plump clams. I didn’t expect to be wowed by the cannoli, but the shell was so light, flaky, fresh and filling so creamy, perfectly balanced by a bite of preserved orange sliver, sprinkling of chopped pistachio, and chocolate. They were also offering basque cheesecake, OMG! I need to go back to try that. It is a cheesecake with what looks like a burnt top (darkened like a creme brulee), charred to develop more flavor, (think notes of caramel or brown butter) and the heart of the cake more melting.

Our server was very attentive and accommodating. Thank you for a wonderful meal.

“Called in our order and picked up four pies today: white buffalo, pepperoni, italian sausage with caramelized onions, and quattro stagioni. Hands down the best pizza I’ve had in quite a long time. The aroma that filled my car while driving home was torturous! The pizzas are almost too gorgeous to eat, almost. All the ingredients are perfectly balanced and compliment each other wonderfully. The slices hold up well, you can actually bite through them and the pizza stays intact (at most pizza places all the toppings either slide off when picking up the slices or come off when you bite it). I had already, prior to tasting, determined which pie would be my favorite but upon eating them I discovered there is no way to choose a favorite. Each pie had it’s own unique flavor identity and they were all equally delicious! We cannot wait to eat our way through the menu, more than once ;-)”

“So I think I’ve had most pizza places in Vancouver, and it’s easy to say that this is definitely the best pizza in Vancouver. I’d go so far to say it can go head to head with some of the Portland heavy weights. It might not top a Ken’s artisan pizza, but it’s right up there with them.”

BEST Neapolitan pizza in Vancouver!!

This pizza place is a dream. I’ve been there many times now and they never disappoint. Staff are super friendly and attentive, and the pizza chef is trained in Italy and does a phenomenal job on the pizzas.

Pizzas are packed with flavor. The ingredients used are high quality and the service is very good. My favorite pizzas are the margherita and the marinara. Simple, yet super rich! The tomato sauce is to die for. I’ve tried the primavera and the pepperoni too and they are also very good! For appetizer, I always go for the focaccia napoletana. Ask for olive oil and balsamic vinegar on the side. Amazing!

We have been looking for good, authentic Italian food and we wanted something other than pizza. La Sorrentina was recommended by a friend.  While we heard other customers commenting how good the pizza was, we chose pasta dishes.  WOW!  There was a lamb special that we had, also the ziti.  I cannot express enough how wonderful both dishes were!  The flavors were over the top!  Our server was sweet as could be.  The chef even brought our meals to us!!  The Easter rum soaked cake was a wonderful finish (we brought a cannoli home because … Italian)  Just amazing food!
