The bad cancels out the good...

I've been to LGO for breakfast and pizza. I have mixed emotions about the whole place. On one hand, the food really is delicious. Especially the breakfast. The pizzaria is where I really start to question everything. The wait to get seated is usually long. This would be okay if the vibe while waiting was pleasant, but it's just not. The music they play is extremely confusing to me. It seems repetitive on top of being really, REALLY bad. On a few occasions in particular, I heard the same awful CD. It was a female singer doing pathetically bad acoustic versions of classic rock songs such as "crazy train" and others like it. Horrible! My group suffered through it cause we were starving...we finally got sat about an hour later. The staff seemed frantic, and at one point we over-heard a female manager yelling at a few of the servers, in plain ear-shot of customers. This was all before the food came. When it finally did it was alright, but not nearly good enough to make us forget about the bad music, stressed vibe, or weird interactions between the staff. My recomendation, get it TO GO.
- Pros: Breakfast
- Cons: Bad music, long wait, rude managers
Relaxing and informal

The menu includes bakery items, sandwiches, salads, and pizza. I tried a strawberry muffin for breakfast one day and it was excellent ($2.50 for a large muffin). I also tried the shaved turkey sandwich for lunch one day. It was excellent and came with a small cup of cut strawberries. The place was very busy each time I went (even off-hours). The parking is the only negative (very little)
- Pros: variety
- Cons: parking

I love to stop by La Grande Orange for lunch or a late breakfast whenever I'm down in that part of town. It's right in that area around
40th Street and Campbell that is becoming so trendy.
Try their breakfast sandwiches or anything they do, it's all good.
Not too expensive and it has that fabulous Euro-hip atmosphere.

This is such a cool place! You can sit outside and have a glass of wine and a casual conversation with a friend, or go inside and have a great meal - try the pizza with avacado! I also recomend the nicoise salad. Breakfast or lunch - it's all fantastic! The only disappointment is the lack of parking!!
Worth Waiting In Line!

Had dinner with a friend here (the Pizzeria, not the market) on a Sunday night in August. We parked directly in front of the door! There was essentially no wait when we arrived, though there was a full house and a quick moving line formed shortly thereafter.
My only complaint is that due to our small party of two, we were seated at the smallest table I'd ever seen which was awkward to eat at due to its triangular shape. The server was friendly and attentive.
If you've heard anything about the pizza here, you'll already know it was so good it'll make you forget the somewhat high price tag (for pizza.) But let me say, the salad was amazing! (I'm sorry I don't remember exactly what is was called.) Not only was it prepared with fresh ingredients, but I'm typically disappointed with restaurant salad dressing. Thier's is not too bitter; not too sweet. L.G.O. got it right!!! Best salad dressing I've had in a restaurant in years! Oh, and the salad portion is plenty for two to share as an appetizer of as a meal for one. Can't wait to go back for more! :)
- Pros: Great salad dressing, nice ambience, friendly/attentive service.
- Cons: A bit pricy. $50 for one pizza, two salads and two soft drinks.

I love this place! I am a frequent patron and have yet to be disappointed. Their pizza with the sourdough crust is oh so yummy! The desserts are fantastic and the salads always look so good yet I cannot break away from the pizza to try them. The market portion has a great choice of imports from wine to cheese. Plus they always have interesting knickknacks to browse as well. Yes they do get busy and anyone should understand that on the weekends you may have a wait. It sure beats the 3 hour wait at Pizza Bianco!!! Granted lots of businesses are busy on weekends. Parking is a little tricky at these times and the lots are small. If you don't want to valet you can usually find parking in the surrounding neighborhood it's not that bad of a walk.
- Pros: excellent food
- Cons: parking

This place is great for a quick but gourmet sandwich or salad. It's also a little market with wine and other gourmet items as well as some fun trinkets. They also have sushi and pizza, so you can always find something to suit your tastes. The only downfall is that it is pretty pricey.
One of my Fav's!!!!
