Laventina's Big Cheese Pizza

Best “hidden in plain sight” pizza spot in Newport. This little to go joint looks totally out of place on the strip, in the best way. It’s got that big city order at the counter type of vibe except the staff is actually friendly, and the service is quick. The pizza? Hands down the best I’ve ever had. Perfect crispy crust, loads of cheese, and just the right amount of good greasy. Nothing fancy…just damn good pizza. We grabbed ours and ate it down the street, and somehow the whole experience just hit different. A true gem.

Solid pizza, nothing too crazy but nonetheless very tasty. Good cheese to sauce ratio. Honestly the lunch special is unbeatable, 2 slices (pep or cheese) and a drink for $8!

Honestly one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had in my life! The crust has a nice crispy texture with a little bit of a sour tang. The sauce is a perfect blend of sweetness and herbs. The pro move is to get meatball, mushroom and basil…so good! Great place for takeout dinner or a late night slice.

Although I drove here in the eleventh hour for a slice as they were closing, the slice I purchased hit the spot. I wish I had more time, but that'll have to be for next time.

Found LaValentina's Big Cheese on Facebook, Glad we did. The pizza reminded me of the tast of pizza back east and the cheese is better than most california pizzas. The antipasta salad was generous proportions of meat and cheese. This will be our go-to place for to-go Italian food.
