After checking in walked 5min to astarita and I am glad we did! Great Svc from the owner and wonderful pizza!

Really a special place.. warm inviting with kind hard working people. The food was really delicious. Honestly that was the best calzone I've had in my life (wife agreed!) and the pizza was chef's kiss. There are places like a certain one that will go unnamed on Henry Street that are honestly overrated. La Astarita however deserves a line out the door. Look forward to returning. Thank you for a lovely Sunday evening!

This is such a wonderful spot for a local family dinner date year round - cozy in winter and a sunny patio in summer. Great atmosphere, excellent food, and really welcoming warm staff, and an owner who goes above to take care of you. A real neighborhood gem! Love the Seasonal Salad, the Mr. William pizza, and our 5 year old inhales the Pesto Pasta every time. If you still have room you will not regret treating yourself to the Miss Sofia Nutella dessert pizza!

Came in looking for a quick bite after work. Heard good reviews from this place. Always get food around my work and out of all days decided to give this place a try. Came in looking for a few slices to take home to try. Waited a couple of minutes but no one helped me. Asked one of the staff if they sell slices and he didn’t even look at me , just said no. It was a damn shame because the pizzas were coming out and looked decent. I would have brought a pie to try at home but the staff were not friendly or welcoming at all. Looked like they judge on appearances. Have never came across a pizza place in park slope or sunset that made me feel like that way . What a terrible shame .

Went to the Astarita on a cold Saturday night. It was a great experience! The atmosphere was so cozy, warm, and inviting. The service was top notch and everyone was very attentive. The Caesar salad was delicious and the pizza was so fresh with a thin crust, and amazing sauce and toppings. We will definitely be back!!

I can’t say enough about how great The Astarita was with a big group (17 people!) for my birthday dinner! Every pizza was stellar, the Mr. William hot honey pepperoni and Nutella were my favorites but there was something for everyone and lots of vegetarian options. The service was awesome and so flexible/accommodating with the big group reservation and planning. Will definitely be back but for anyone looking to have a big group and have a great and relaxed experience (which is so hard to find in NYC!) this should be your go to place! Thank you to the Astarita team! ?

Love this wonderful neighborhood restaurant! We were in town this past week visiting our kids and had a delightful time. Service was outstanding too We ordered the meatballs, Rose pizza and Caesar salad and everything was delicious! Often Caesar salads have too much dressing for my taste but this one was utter perfection. We will be returning soon, and we are all dying to try the Nutella pizza!

If you don't want to trek to Greenpoint for Pauli G or deal with the insane wait at Lucali, this place is for you. The pizza is amazing, the service is friendly and the ambiance is warm and welcoming. We had the margarita pie. The crust had a good char with a nice balance of cheese and sauce. We also ordered the meatballs and antipasto. Nothing special but certainly worth ordering to round out the meal. Recently I tried farina, lots of hype around that place, and for me Astarita delivers a much better pizza experience.We will make this place a regular spot in our dining rotation.

This is a great recent addition to the neighborhood. The food is fabulous and the service is great. We have picky kids and they love the pizza, all the pastas, and the dessert Nutella pie. Plus you can get any pizza with vegan mozzarella which is great for us because we have a lactose intolerant family member. We have been several times already and we will be back.
