Definitely an historical institution. They invented the white pie. Only open Saturday and Sunday. White pie is still definitely worth going to this place for!!

The pizza is great, but it’s definitely not worth going there unless you want to be treated like crap. Today was my second and last time ever stepping foot in there. The first time I went, the server, an older woman with red hair was plain nasty and was super rude, I didn’t tip her she simply did not deserve it. She makes you feel like your presence alone is the biggest bother to her. There are plenty of servers who are lovely people, and know how to treat their customers. Today I went back and what do you know? The same woman is there, obviously just older and even more nastier than the last time. This time I walked out. I refuse to deal with her arrogant disrespectful self.

Even with an empty table the rude owner refused to let my son and I eat in the restaurant. It is only take out. I told her I was from Long Island and had no place to take the pizza she told me “I don’t care where you came from, people come from Australia. What a dump, don’t waste your time here. Go to L&B. Anthony Totonno is probably rolling in his grave.

Visited Totonno’s Pizza today. Located in Coney Island, this institution is only open on Saturday and Sunday from 12 to 5 PM. There is a lot to love about this pizza. The crust was baked just right. Each bite you heard a satisfying crunch unlike other pizzas that are doughy. The end/crust was puffy and not flat. Lastly, the sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese round out your sensory overload! Coal fired pizzas take on a different flavor vs. wood and gas stoves.
If you are in the area, you must try one of the few remaining coal fired pizza restaurants in New York City. Recent regulations have made it extremely costly for these restaurants to remain in business. They only sell one size starting at $27 for a margarita. Visit them and check out Coney Island along the way.

This place is an old school spot - they don't make anything like this anymore. It was absolute pizza perfection, eaten on a stoop. The crust was perfect, the cheese wasn't greasy, the sauce was easily the best tomato sauce I've ever tasted. Easily my number 1 pizza ever. Worth every calorie. Thank you guys so much!

Totonno’s in Coney Island is a true NYC classic. The pizza is excellent — you can really taste the quality ingredients and the care that goes into making it. The staff are wonderful, straight-up authentic New Yorkers, which makes the whole experience even better. The old-school atmosphere feels like stepping back in time, and you can sense the history in every corner. This place is a real gem and such an important part of New York’s pizza story. Definitely worth the trip.
Totonno’s is a classic. It used to be better back in the early 90s, but maybe my taste buds have changed. The last time I ate there was just before Covid. I think the sauce used to have a bit more zing or something, I recall it lost its luster.
I read in a NY Times article that this place is now for sale. That’s probably for the best. Keep the coal oven running if it’s grandfathered in. It would be a shame to extinguish it.
I’ve always eaten here when it had indoor dining, so that’s why I gave it 4 ⭐️. That being said, I wouldn’t take the train out now just to be told I had to sit on a curb to eat my pizza. (That’s for rubes or pizza nerds, of which I am neither.)

I visited just before the COVID-19 outbreak in 2019. Back then, I had no idea this place was so well-known—I was just in the area for something else and dropped by because I was hungry and wanted a slice of pizza. In the shop, there was a woman with a big nose from the photo, a man making pizzas, and another staff member. The woman and the staff were deep in conversation about something, and I didn’t want to interrupt, so I waited for them to acknowledge me.
I ended up standing there for almost 10 minutes while they kept talking, completely ignoring me. Eventually, I asked if I could buy a slice of pizza, but the woman gave me a strange look and curtly said they weren’t selling any. During those 10 minutes, I stood right at the counter where the pizzas were being made, and we made eye contact several times, but not once did they say a word to me. I got the strong sense that I wasn’t welcome there at all.
It was a very unpleasant experience.

One of NYC's legendary pizzas.
If it was still operated like a normal pizza shop, it would absolutely be destination worthy.
Unfortunately, 5 years after COVID they still are takeout only and their hours are completely random. Supposedly this is because the dude that makes the pizzas now lives in Pennsylvania.
The other rumor is that they are trying to sell the place and don't have anybody to inherit the business so basically mailing it in. Either, way it seems Totonno's is one foot in the grave. 😔
There are many great pizza places in Brooklyn (and frankly, better ones) that don't provide this inexplicable hassle. Would suggest visiting one of those.

Pizza dough was half raw. Good sauce but unfortunately it’s just boardwalk mediocrity

This pizza is fantastic. We got one plain (cheese) and one pepperoni. The crust is thin and crisp, the mozzarella is fresh, and the sauce has a nice tang. We wished we had ordered one more. 10/10, would recommend.
