Tonight was our final dinner at Adelina's, which closed for good after tonight's dinner service. The restaurant had a great selection of natural wine and was one of the few places in the city that specialized in a Roman-style pizza called the Pinsa Romana. Often described as the "cloud pizza" due to its light, airy and soft texture, pinsa comes from the Latin word "pinsere," which means "to press" and it sort of describes how the pinsa is made with the dough pressed down and stretched into an oval shape. Adelina's had a great selection of pinsas, even vegan ones for those who are vegan. We've tried several types, including the Genovese, Cacio e Pepe, l'Originale and the Il Carciofino and all of them were really good. Out of all the ones that we've tried the one that I always returned to was the Genovese with stracciatella, potatoes, post-oven pesto and cherry tomatoes. This was a true gem in Greenpoint that had a casual vibe and friendly service. We'll miss this spot a lot, but we are glad to have been able to dine here more than once during their final week and wish the team the best of luck in their future endeavors.

This place is off the hook. The low-gluten pizza dough is fluffy and moist. (Unfortunately they do not have gluten-free pizza.) The toppings are sublime: cremini mushrooms, artichoke hearts, potatoes, fresh parsley sunchoke cream. There is just enough pizza sauce and cheese to add flavor but not to overwhelm. My friend was thrilled with her salad, too. Unfortunately, they didn't have any deserts last night but perhaps that's because of pandemic-related limitations. Don't miss it!

After leaving the expo center we wanted to grab some food, we decided to give this place a try. Very small location but they had room open at the bar worked out perfect for the 5 of us. To begin with we gave the Panelle appetizer a try these are chick pea fritters wow very good. Drinks we had a bottle of white wine gave the CA 4008? A try this was very good went well with our food. On the pizza's non vegan Cacio e Pepe very good great taste the cheese combo , La Genovese was amazing really good with the pesto a favorite of the night. On the vegan side tried La Terrosa good artichoke taste & rosemary also tried La Contadina another great one the parsley , potato & white truffle taste was delicious another favorite of the night. This place was a great find, small dimly lit nice atmosphere, good service at the bar & prices were reasonable we enjoyed our food will definitely be back from time to time.

Adelina's pizza for the price is not a place I would recommend. Great ambiance and great service, but unfortunately the pizza just falls short. NYC has thousand s of amazing options when it comes to pizza and this place does not fall into this category.

It's with a heavy heart that I hand out negative reviews to restaurants that cater to vegans but they're not all going to excel at their craft. I made a reservation for a late slot on Valentine's Day and arrived exactly when I was supposed to. Unfortunately the restaurant overbooked and we had to wait almost an hour to be seated. Overbooking is common practice in the airline industry because the companies hold power over passengers. They've run the numbers and when there aren't enough seats on the plane, they know that they can buy out enough people who need the money more than they need to be somewhere. But at least they offer cash incentives. Adelina's fails to honor reservations and offers nothing but apologies in return. This was obviously the consequence of greedy or incompetent management and does not reflect on the staff whatsoever. Everyone from the hostess to the bartender to the waitstaff were very lovely people who were trying their hardest to do their jobs under the circumstances. The food was delicious and the wine intoxicating. I hope to go back to try more of their pizzas. You would be wise to skip the reservation system and just arrive whenever; the wait will probably be comparable.

One of the most charming spots in Greenpoint - highlights are the wine flight, focaccia, arugula salad & really any pinsa romano!

Overall fantastic experience. Staff was very friendly, food was delicious (as a vegan I really appreciate their menu), and atmosphere was very cool. I never leave reviews but this place deserves a 5 star.
Beautiful little location. Very warm theme o ordered "La Ferrosa" and "La Rucola". Very very delicious. Perfect with drinka and a wonderful date night.

I ordered delivery. I was little nervous because I never heard of it before but I was in desperate need of vegan pizza and Vinnie's, Paulie Gees and Screamer's weren't available. I got the margarita and the potato pizza and they were amazing!!

This place exceeded my expectations. For starters, the owner is so friendly and helpful. Everything on the menu sounded delicious. We ordered the panelle, arugula salad, and a pizza with vegan parmigiano, sun dried tomatoes and arugula. Everything was delicious, but this was hands down the best pizza I've ever had. The crust alone was to die for. Highly recommend stopping in Adelina's when you're in Greenpoint!

The place was small with a huge atmosphere. The appetizers was fried gnocchi and a chickpea fritter it was light and delicious. I ordered the vagan pizza la treviggiana, the crust was nice and crispy and the gorgonzola was amazing such a great combination for a great vegan pizza !

though Adeline's is a great vegetarian pizza spot, the menu could be expanded a bit. My husband and I love great pizza and Adelina's does not disappoint. We started with the Panelle which are these delicious chickpea fritters with amazing aioli! For the pizza, or piinsa, we decided on Cacio e Pepe. The flavor of the mozzarella and sauce were simply divine! The service was good and very attentive. As mentioned above my only complain is the lack of menu items. I longed for a meat substitute like 'fake pepperoni' or something to that effect. I would definitely come back to Adelinas as I feel they make a mean pie and have great wine. Thanks for a wonderful date night with my husband, we are excited about trying other items on the menu in the future.
