“It’s establishments like this that set the standard by which all future experiences are measured. The taste, texture and freshness of the pizza, eggplant rollatini and garlic were all to die for (shout-out to the marinara sauce!!), but it’s the atmosphere created by the easy, efficient team, and especially Maryellen and John that will make my memories. Something about their familiarity, warm presence and attentiveness made us feel at home immediately, giving us a glimpse into what it would be like to be part of this neighborhood. It was fun just to watch Maryellen interact with the customers, seeming to know every customer by name. If I were a local I would definitely be a loyal customer.“
“Food is always delicious here, however recently I ordered an old favorite of mine the balsamic chicken dinner and it just tasted off, like the balsamic was different or something went wrong with it. Perhaps the recipe was changed, I'm not sure, or the chef had an off day, but please, please bring back the original recipe. Thanks :)“
“Great Italian food and a decent menu, not much choice but not too much. It's located next to Post Office 34 and is very trendy. The view and service are great, but it's noisy as there isn't much to absorb the sound. We ordered focaccia, roasted peppers and pasta. Everything is great and super fresh.“
“Great place.. Amazing dishes and desserts. Amazing staff and host. Will definitely be back. —— If I had one con, it would be the speaker volume. It really needs to be at an appropriate dinner volume in that you can have a discussion with that people at your table and not shout. We asked twice for it to be lowered. But I’m unsure it was ever adjusted. Loud club-music volume while dining is just unnecessary.“
“Best NYC slice I've ever had. They don't seat people after a certain point which was a bummer (mostly cuz the girl telling me so wasn't nice about it).BUT - you can eat a slice outside on the benches. They get that thing super toasty in the oven and it was perfect for a quick meal.“
“It is very good but not worth going out of your way to obtain. Worth trying once if possible. We drove from Jersey, paid the toll, and waited 40 minutes for a margherita pie. We ate two slices freshly served, and they had a nice crispy bottom and balance of sauce. It was lacking a bit of salt for me. We ate another microwaved slice at home, and it tasted no different than any other Jersey pizza. Please note it takes at least 40 minutes to prepare from the time of placing a takeout order.“
“When we came we thought that it is going to be like many other good Neapolitan pizzas but it was simply THE BEST. Very nice environment and great service. The pizzas were so good and delicious so do the desserts. The many attempts we did for getting a reservation were completely worth it. Highly recommended!“
“Seriously most amazing staff. Had a last minute big catering request and they absolutely took care of everything for me, even packaged items seperately so nothing spilled and nothing perished. The manager Michelle and the hostess whose name is also Michelle are the KINDEST and most ACCOMMODATING ladies. Also the food is absolutely AMAZING and for the price too! Thank you again for the wonderful service and kindness. Highly recommend Rubirosa if ever you are in NYC.“
“There's a lot of good pizza in New York, but if you've gotten used to reheated slices to-go, then you owe it to yourself to sit down and enjoy a whole pie, right from the oven. What a difference! John's is the place for perfect, brick-oven, thin-crust NYC pizza. A true landmark, since 1929, and a museum of media and sports, too. Grab a booth and share a meal with Ray Romano, Bruce Springsteen, or Vincent Gambino. You can also leave your own mark on history. The grafitti is epic!“
“We enjoyed our trip to Joe's Pizza. Be prepared to queue around the corner as it is very popular with tourists and locals. Staff were friendly and had fun with my wife asking for a Margherita Pizza (known in the US as a Cheese Pizza). You live and learn.“
“we thoroughly enjoyed eating here! we were a group of 30 and they seated us in their outdoor patio. the owner pointed out which items on the menu are halal and was so accommodating for our group! the entire experience was smooth. service was fast and they were so friendly. i’m going to be a regular here!!!“
“This place is so much fun to go on a date or with a group friends. Such a fun spot , and our Axe expert PJ was absolutely awesome . He was so helpful since some of my friends had zero experience holding an axe . PJ is definitely a good vibe !They have a good selection of beer and hard seltzers. Must try the Pretzel, delishhh !Also, good board games meanwhile you wait for your turn to play Axe . Lol“
“So happy with this restaurant!The dishes were plated in such delicate and detailed way, perfect for get you ready to get into all the flavors. The Grandma-style pizza is a must! And arrive just in time!Also it’s such a great place with an amazing staff and the perfect ambiance; the brunch bartender suggested the best cocktails keep in mind my preferences about liquor.Definetly Loring Place continue show dishes full of flavor, color and an open invitation to come back for more.“
“Even though I grew up in LI I never liked NY triangle slices. I always ate Sicilian slices. Detroit style is an ever better version of a square pie with cheesy crusty sides. Insanely good! Ace’s is the only one I have had in NYC and it lived up to the best I have had out of state. It’s also a cool retro atmosphere. Would definitely come here again to try more pies. I had the burrata and it was spicy and delicious!“
“Come for the space, there's a lovely enclosed patio in the back! Stay for the pizza and the drinks, both of which were surprisingly good. Be warned, however, that the menu is a novella. So many options, it's approaching overwhelming. If you like Neapolitan-style pizza, you'll definitely enjoy La Lanterna's. It was the right chewiness, and the toppings and sauce were tasty. I also had one of the many available adult beverages, opting for a hard coffee. It was excellent. The cheese and pate plate was good -- the bread it came with was well seasoned and had a nice crisp. But the presentation definitely leaves something to be desired, it definitely looked like an elementary school science fair project on the plate. Overall, good food, not too pricey, and a nice patio. Solid option!“
“food was really good but I didn't like the way they treated this man standing outside in the rain. they treated him like he was trash and he didn't even do anything wrong. food was excellent but they need to treat all customers the same. treat the tourists the same as the homebodies!!!!“
“Note: Review based on Pizza making class/experience.The atmosphere is so intimate and cozy.All pizzas are made in a wood fire oven. Chef Salvatore is passionate about his pizzas and loves to help the people in the class.We had a great experience. The ingredients were great and easy to handle. Don’t need any level of cooking experience to do the class.You get appetizers (salad + meatballs), followed by pizza and marshmallow Nutella dessert pizza.You mainly just roll out your dough and put toppings on. More of a date activity than a cooking class, loved it and will be back to try pizzas made by the chef.“
“After a breathtaking view of New York from Rockefeller Center, hunger spontaneously drove us straight to Ace's.Without looking for long, we spontaneously decided to eat there. The furnishings in the style of the 80s and 90s appealed to us, and the ever-popular ALF was playing on a tube television.David, who served us, was incredibly personable and warm. At the end of our visit he even became my hero.The pizzas you get here are authentic and vary in dough and are prepared in a pan.We ordered the Hot Burrata, Vodka Meatball and the Buffalo Pizza. And we can say they were simply divine. Crispy, fluffy, juicy and tasty. This Detroit-style pizza blew us away, even as Neapolitans. Our favorite was definitely the Hot Burrata.A little tip: Order the small pan pizzas in different varieties, David will certainly give you good advice.Thank you again, David, for your hospitality and for bringing me my forgotten backpack (my hero). The fact that you found us in the crowd was nothing short of a miracle.In conclusion, if you're in New York, treat yourself to this pizza at Ace's. We will definitely do it again when we visit New York. Until then, we wish you all the best and keep it up!!“
“The Chimi pizza was bomb! The dough was baked just right not too burnt not too soft perfect and crunchy.Don’t get me started on the Dominican Pizza. It was so good it took me back to thanksgiving with my aunt who makes it perfectly. It took me back home and almost made me search the kitchen for my aunt?.Owner was great interacted with us and made conversation very genuine and warm welcomingParking: Parking was pretty decent. Not great not badKid-friendliness: Music was clean and up beat“
“The food was absolutely amazing it was my first time here came from london to nyc and the food was just brilliant , the service was handled very well by a man named Granite , he made sure we were taken care off , given the best food and drinks , made us laugh , brilliant ambient/atmosphere . We will definitely come back to make another appearance for sure !“
“FOOD- Freshly baked dough and rich tomato sauce, the crust, perfectly crisp on the outside yet delightfully chewy inside. Each bite bursts with flavor. The cheese stretches tantalizingly with freshness. An experience that captures the essence of New York's culinary heritage.PRICE - very reasonable.LOCATION -many surrounding shop.ATMOSPHERE- cozy, friendly staffs and clean!“
“came here not knowing what to expect but the pizza was really good. brought my picky brother who only eats plain pizza and they added this delicious puree to it i think it was pumpkin. our waiter was super friendly and attentive! definitely recommend! :)“
“My first time dining here and it was a 10/10 experience, my friends and I were elated!! Food was served hot and fresh, large portions and friendly service — it was amazing! We sat in the outdoor sitting area, it was so great watching people come and go as we enjoyed our meals and chatted. I got the Chicken Parm, it was soo huge and filling. I highly recommend coming here — I look forward to visiting again!Kid-friendliness: Saw some families coming in and dining which was pretty sweet to see!“
“The pizza is first & foremost amazing! Im not a pizza kinda person but i could have their pizza everyday for sure, not even trying to exaggerate. My favorite is a bit basic, margarita/plain slice but they make it better than any other pizzeria ive had in NY?“
“Razza is a very good and delicious pizza spot in Jersey City. I visited with 2 friends on a Saturday night (got there at 5.55pm), we had no reservation, left our name down and we got a seat and 15min later.Pizza was so so good eapecially La Rossa with burrata, Yellow margherita and the special pie of the day with spinach.Cool vibe, they were very busy. No delivery expect for an hour or so right after they open.I will definitely go back and recommend this place.“
“This is one of the few restaurants opens late and took our order 15 mins before the kitchen close. The servicers are friendly and welcoming. Ordered the Shrimp Fra Diavolo and Crispy Octopus.This pizza is the thinner style, the crust is slightly crispy but soft mochi-like inside. It is pretty light and not greasy; it’s stated as spicy on the menu but is not.The crispy octopus is alright, the octopus is on the tough side, so not everyone would like that. However, the vegetable combination and sauce surprised me. The celery and herb are tossed in a light refreshing sauce, with the spiciness and tanginess from pepper dew and crispy potato, overall, a complex flavor profile yet refreshing and savory appetizer.“
“Tried 3 pies incl 2 on the in-house only menu and they were surprisingly VERY dry. The crust was fantastically chewy incl the outer crust but how do you have vodka sauce so thin on a pie that it has almost no effect because overall the combination is too dry?⁉️Why would you make pizza like the El Cubano which is comparable to the sandwich and interestingly great flavor combination but with mostly "cheese" and toppings of ham, pickle and the occasional strip of mustard but on on plain crust/bread & with no sauce or juiciness that you get on a Cuban sandwich so, again, a dry pie?I'm being very generous in my score because one of the three at least felt like there was some sauce & moisture on it.. as well as a great chew all the way out to the edge of the crust was fantastic and tasty dough plus the staff was very attentive but what's going on with the negative moisture factor?⁉️“
“We had an excellent experience at Marcellino. The meatballs were fantastic. The mozzarella appetizer was one of our favorites. I especially loved the raspberry blossom drink. We had no problem making a reservation and the service was excellent.“
“Sitting at Diego’s bar made me a better wife, mother, daughter, and person. He brought me back to life and shared his passion for New York, making me excited about waking up tomorrow. If Sofia’s does not give Diego a significant raise, they will be doing themselves a disservice. Diego is the reason for Sofia’s. He is the light. Go to Sofia’s for Diego… And the orecchiette di salmone. Sofia’s is lucky to have him.“
“This is by far the best vegan Italian food we’ve ever had. Everything was fresh, healthy and delicious! No refined sugar, excellent gluten free pasta and crust, only healthy oils (no canola or soybean oils), and super fresh ingredients. Love their concept of truly healthy food. Sha, our waiter provided stellar, friendly service. He was able to easily answer all of our allergen/ingredient questions. He was the best! All of the chefs and floor staff were incredible too. Can’t recommend this place enough!“
“The Best Pizza in NYC! - If you want the best pizza in NYC you have to go to Pop's Pizza. I'm a native New Yorker of 50 years and Pop's Pizza is my favorite pizza in NYC. They make a perfect slice... thin crispy crust with fresh sauce, toppings and ingredients. If you like garlic, you have to try the Margarita but no matter what you order every slice is amazing and the owners are fantastic. ?“
“Delicious, hot out of the oven pies in a cozy wood paneled old school spot. They have espresso martinis on tap but we opted for the wine - all reasonably priced by the glass and super tasty!Between two people we shared the DelRay (their version of a pepperoni) and a white kale pie. The DelRay was a juicy and savoring slice with perfect tomato sauce, and salty greasy saucers of meat. They have chili oil and chili flakes which only help magnify the flavors. The white kale has a base of a nut-free kale pesto with cheese and garlic. This one was a sleeper hit. I usually don’t like white pies but this one blew my expectations.We also had a tres leches cake which was soaked in sweet milk and had a sponge texture. Not my favorite dessert but it could have been that I was so full at this point.I can’t wait to come back and try my pizzas. Might be my favorite sit down spot in NY for pizza ?❤️“
“Food, drinks, and service were incredible! My husband and I stumbled on this place on a date night in NYC, and it was absolutely perfect for a date night! The only thing is the restaurant is tiny tiny so don't think about having a large dinner party, but for a more intimate dinner or lunch, I would highly recommend it! The burrata was our absolute favorite dish! 10/10 recommend!“
“Solid spot for a slice or two of pizza. A little limited in options, but still delicious for the classic options. Plus their hot honey hits just right. Some limited seating in the back but the turnover is decent. Service was quick and brought it out to the table.“
“I moved to North New Jersey from Brooklyn, NY recently and have been on the hunt every weekend with my wife for decent pizza. When I finally found Pizza Knight, I knew this was it. Their pizza is comparable to NYC and might be even better (depending on what spot you go to). Also got to note that there is no FLOP at all. *chef kiss*“
“I had a lunch at Osteria Barocca and the food was delicious In addition to the spicy rigatoni, I also ordered the fried calamari. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, exactly how calamari should be. The accompanying dipping sauce added a delightful tanginess to the dish. Overall, my dining experience at Osteria Barocca was delightful. The combination of delicious and fresh pasta with the perfectly cooked fried calamari made for a truly memorable meal. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a taste of authentic Italian cuisine.“
“I had been meaning to go for about a year. A friend and I finally went last night. The waitress was awesome! We ordered an appetizer: bruschetta. We shared a pizza...it was absolutely delish! I heartily recommend this place.Vegetarian options: We had a specialty vegetarian pizza. It had spinach, artichokes, garlic and lemon zest.“
“There is another very popular pizza place nearby, but here they taste much better, the pizza is crispy without being burnt. And the bread itself has more flavor. They sell beer, it is larger and they have a bathroom, it is appreciated if you are a tourist“
“Best pizza to get when ur faded as a mf I highly recommend coming here drunkVegetarian options: Yeah but u a bxtch if u a vegetarianDietary restrictions: Just hit the gym if u fatParking: Jus walk u lazy fxckKid-friendliness: Yes but fk them kidsWheelchair accessibility: Yea“
“My family happened upon the best pizza of our lives!.We were waiting for a tour bus and wanted to grab a quick dinner. We saw the cute and vibrant colors of Unregular Pizza and decided to give it a try. WOW!WOW!WOW! It was the best pizza of my life! Staff was so friendly! We are from NC and looking forward to next NYC trip just for this pizza!“
“When a craftsman takes pride in their work, it shows! Let me tell you that this pizza has "craftsmanship" written all over it! To begin with not many pizzerias make grandma slices, whereas they had an abundance when I went in. To top it off the taste is just an explosion of flavor! This is besides a variety of pizza styles they have ready. I'm definitely coming back and can't wait to try out other craft slices!“
“I recently celebrated my birthday at Vic’s with a group of friends, and it was an absolutely fantastic dining experience from start to finish. The ambiance was lively yet intimate, setting the perfect tone for the evening.We started with the ARANCINI, which were fried to perfection and surprisingly light, with a delightful balance of lemon and fontina cheese.The VODKA pizza was special, featuring unique toppings like guanciale and marjoram that perfectly complemented the gooey fontina cheese.The MAFALDINE pasta was a revelation, with its inventive combination of pistachio, chive, and bread crumbs creating a symphony of flavors and textures unlike anything I’ve ever tasted.And of course, the CHITARRA pasta with lobster and spicy tomato sauce was fresh and indulgent.To top it all off, the TIRAMISU dessert was the perfect sweet ending to a memorable meal.The service was friendly and attentive throughout, making us feel welcome and well taken care of. I highly recommend Vic’s for any special occasion or simply for a delicious meal with friends. Be sure to make a reservation, as this gem fills up quickly!“
“We had dinner with friends here, the food was very tasty and the service is good too.The carbonara pasta is to die for! I highly recommend it.We had chocolate banana desert and it was so tasty don’t miss it if you are a dark chocolate lover!“
“Abbiamo trovato Via Toscana per caso, ed è stata una coincidenza perfetta! Andrea e il resto dello staff sono stati gentilissimi, accoglienti, e precisi. Esperienza italiana di accoglienza vera e calorosa. Abbiamo fatto un aperitivo e dopocena al bancone e siamo stati tutti molto soddisfatti dell’esperienza. Grande chef Alessandro. Molto consigliato“
“I gotta say this as a Southerner who was in town to see Long Island’s own Billy Joel at MSG. I made a total bonehead mistake and typed in the wrong amount online for payment (roughly 10x the amount with tip) and these guys were quick to recognize and contact me, assuring me that they had averted the crisis and would have my slices ready for the correct payment when I got there (which was ~ 5 til close). Not only was their service and conscientiousness appreciated, but the slices were just what this bonehead Southerner’ tastebuds were looking for.“
“Usually I don’t eat pizza (Don’t judge me, New Yorkers) but I got delivery from Ledo today and it was amazing!!! I tried the one with ham and olive and vegan pizza. Both were delicious and fresh! Thin crust and perfect amount of cheese and tomato sauce. The vegan pizza was even better and I’m not a vegan. Definitely 5 stars!“
“I mean, what can I say? I sat at the bar, like a lonely weirdo, and the staff was amazing. Fun people, great food, great service, and every one of the staff members has a great backstory. I’m only here four nights, I’ll probably come back four times.“
“Regarding the review posted by Sole and the response from the owner: To the contrary, I would recommend that the manager remove their reply. It is unprofessional and an embarrassment to the otherwise excellent service provided. Having been to Song’ E Napule, I agree with other reviews. The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is pretty good. However, thinking about the situation more and having read the above review, I will not be back. In a world in which the truth is maligned and that which is sacred openly mocked, the reviewer is absolutely right to express disapproval at what was a blasphemous label. The proprietor really should reconsider carrying a beer that would cause his ancestors to role in their graves could they see it.“
“We walked into Lil' Frankie's, having not been for a few years, and we are SO glad we returned. For many years, it was our go-to for weekend lunches, pizza with our daughter, and late-night dinners with friends.This particular Saturday at 7 pm, the joint was already jumping. There are various rooms at Lil' Frankie's; your experience might differ depending on where you sit. Everyone enters adjacent to the bar, which, if memory serves, is first come, first serve. Adjacent to the bar is the main dining room with seats in the hall and the back; Frank would put tables on the ceiling if he could figure out how. Through an adjacent door is the Pizza oven room with a few large booths and some other tables, and then you enter "the back," which is a long and narrow seating area with an outside patio. Don't worry; it doesn't matter where you sit; you are here for the food.We ordered a bottle of wine ASAP (Gavi, a dry Italian) and the fried calamari. It was exceptional; I might even go so far as to say the Calimari alone is worth the trip. Crisp and crunch with a soft, delicate interior is difficult to achieve with squid. The tomato sauce is tangy with just the right sweetness, and suffice it to say, a huge hit is our table.Not wanting to mess around, we filled the table. Two chicken parmigiana, a spaghetti limone and a pizza prosciutto Di Parma w/ agugala. On the side, we had the Spinach al Forno and some steamed broccoli (which was a little soggy). Otherwise, everything was exceptional, and we loved every bite.Make reservations as soon as possible and make them often. Don't forget because you will be the one who loses out.“
“Not only is this place super delicious as a NY slice but their selection is outstanding along with everyone that works there. The manager Dawn is a sweetheart we’ve hit it off since me and my wife met her. Anyone looking for a great pie this is spot.“
