50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Howard Beach

“Simple and delicious! Really nice NYPD favorite place.“

“Not the greatest in selections for toddlers around 2-3yrs old but it’s good for older kids“

“Walked in on a Saturday afternoon around 1:30pm - no wait, were able to sit down right away. Ordered the caesar salad, fried calamari and the sicilian pizza. The caesar salad was delicious - well dressed. The pizza was not very hot - it felt like it was sitting in the back under a warmer for a while. That said, the dough is chewy in the middle and crunchy on the bottom. It is a must try when visiting. Lastly, the highlight of the meal was the spumoni classic ice cream - pistachio, vanilla, chocolate - absolutely delicious.“

“Great and delicious pizza, excellent friendly customer service and cool space.“

“This is the best pizza I have ever had, nice crisp, light crust with just the right amount of toppings, no grease at all. I live in CT and thought no pizza was better than our New Haven ones, boy was I wrong!!! Looking forward to returning……soon!“

“Our favorite pizza place in all of NYC (maybe the world), exceptional service, unbelievably tasty pizza, great beer selection. Try the montak IPA with your pizza, and follow it up with their delicious tiramisu desert, you won't regret it.“

“Anthony Mangieri has created nothing short of a miracle with his pizza. Demure and genuinely kind, he is the rare perfectionist who maintains his humanity while reaching for the transcendent. If you ever have the rare opportunity to eat at Una, be grateful and cherish it.“

“Went for a late dinner last night at the location in Dyker Heights and so glad we did. We had the specials: Rigatoni with braised shredded Short ribs and Reggiano Parmigiano and Escarole and white beans sautéed with fresh garlic and Extra Virgin Olive oil w roasted Atlantic Salmon. It was delicious! This restaurant never disappoints and the food is always consistent and on point. The staff is friendly and welcoming, which makes dining here even more enjoyable. I highly recommend La Villa in Dyker Heights!“

“Delicious wood fired pizza with amazing toppings including vegan options. Wonderful, cozy environment and eclectic playlist. You won’t be disappointed!!“

“Love this place: amazing food, nice atmosphere and friendly service!“

“We have been coming to this place ever since it open. The owner, Steve, always remembers us. It is awesome. Food is great. It is the best pizza we’ve ever had and we know a lot about pizza! Every time We are in Brooklyn, we make a point to stop by. Just awesome place with great decoration. Definitely on top of our list! You won’t be disappointed.“

“Un lugar lleno de historia y con bastante sabor!!! Un gran punto dentro de la gótica cuidad de NY“

“highly recommended“

“I love the delicious salads and pizzas at their store!“

“You really have to try it
The most delicious slice of pizza
The dough is chewy and thin and the ends are crispy.
The tomato sauce, which is not too salty and has the right amount of seasoning, is also different from other places!
Highly recommend the margherita and spinach mushroom!!
I don't like pizza, but this place keeps coming back to me because of the dough and tomato sauce.“

“PIZZA LOVES SAUCE
offers delicious pizza with a good variety of flavors. The service is quick and friendly, and the prices are reasonable for the quality. The place is clean and comfortable. Overall, an excellent experience, and I highly recommend it to pizza lovers.“

“Excellent service and even better food!“

“This is truly a hidden gem that needs more recognition! This was our first time trying Korean Pizza, and it did not disappoint. We ordered a half/half (Bbq Chicken and Bulgogi pizza) with the Ube Latte. The explosion of flavors and texture was the cherry on top for this aesthetically pleasing atmosphere. We absolutely loved the sweet potato that borders the soft and crunchy crust! The Ube Latte was delicious and complimented our meal so well. We highly recommend this place.“

“First night back in the ol' hood in 12 years. The pizza game on Clinton Street and the LES has definitely been elevated by Uncle Sam's! Great crust, just the right amount of toppings and ingredients on each slice! The Square Pepperoni was and the Margherita slice are excellent! Over the top friendly service made it even better!“

“A friend at work recommended we have an office night out here and he probably just won employee of the year off of the pick.

I’ll start out with the drinks… absolutely amazing. I am a bit of a snob when it comes to whiskey and whiskey cocktails so I was skeptical when I saw the Nonino Essence (Bourbon, rye, amaro nonino, cinnamon, orange, angostura) as it was a combo of rye and bourbon… the drink was insanely good. Perfect balance of sweetness from the bourbon and spices from the rye, angostura and cinnamon.

The pizza selection was spot on. We ordered several of the pies and all were amazing. My personal favorite was the Piccante (the hot honey is a hitter!)

Not only were the food and drinks great but the staff was just as great! Super attentive and an absolute pleasure.

There’s a piece of me that wanted to gate keep this spot because I know it’s going to be tough to be able to get a seat there soon but I have to give them props on checking all the boxes needed to make a great night out successful.“

“Stretch is the creation of Wylie Dufresne, the mad genius behind WD50 and other high-end culinary endeavours. By any stretch of the imagination, pizza is probably one of the more accessible things that he’s put out in some time. And its delicious! We were lucky to be seated by the ‘chefs table’ (my definition, not theirs) and had a nice little chat with the proprietor who was friendly and quick-witted. Its no stretch to say that this place serves up some of the best pies in the area, and the only thing that will feel stretched afterwards may be your waistline.“

“very tasty pizza in NY, fresh ingredients and good quality. friendly staff, I recommend it!“

“Yesterday there was a situation that should have put an end to our orders in this pizzeria! But!!!! The owner of this establishment called personally and we settled all the issues!! Thank you very much! It's insanely pleasant!!! I wish sincere prosperity and success to your business!

And yes, the pizza here is the most delicious in the whole neighborhood!!!!“

“Walked by this place a couple times and finally decided to stop in for a slice of pizza. So glad I did! NYC pizza with a thin crust and nice char, good cheese and pepperoni. Pizza had just come out of the oven and was freshly baked and hot. Service was quick and pleasant. One of the best I’ve had in NYC. Thanks!“

“Was in Rockefeller Center yesterday with a friend and got hungry. We stumbled upon this hidden gem underneath the ice rink called ACES pizza! Wow.. extraordinary Pizza. The owner, Jesse, who’s also a Rangers fan, which always wins points, was awesome and we ate 4 different style pizzas. The hot Burrata slices were my favorite , but the buffalo chicken , cheeseburger and Hawaiian slices were sick too!!! And to top it all off Alf was on and I felt like I walked back into 1992.. what a top shelf place. From food, to service to atmosphere. I highly recommend ACES to anyone who likes food - especially pizza. Great job!“

“This restaurant is the best place for neapolitan pizza outside Italy! Ordered the bee sting pizza Margherita with spicy honey and prosciutto. It was delicious and the first time in a long while that I've consumed an entire 14 inch pizza by myself in a single setting! Of course it helped that I washed it down with a tall glass of Three's local brew pilsner. The service says friendly, the atmosphere was cozy and everyone seemed to be enjoying their meal.“

“I love this Slice Shop! So tasty! I love the regular, the sausage, the pepperoni, the Mootz, Jake's, Freddy Prinze, Hellboy.“

“Our favorite pizza place in all of NYC (maybe the world), exceptional service, unbelievably tasty pizza, great beer selection. Try the montak IPA with your pizza, and follow it up with their delicious tiramisu desert, you won't regret it.“

“Loved this place! 6 of us came for a family meal and it was amazing! Our server, Maxine was so accommodating, attentive and friendly! Drinks were awesome and the pizza was light and delicious! It was crowded but fun and not too loud to talk:)“

“We’ve been here several times, and they have the best Caesar salad in the city. As for the pizzas, I’m still undecided. You can’t go wrong with a classic, but the other options seem a bit lackluster. The dough is perfect but they can work on taste.

I also think their prices might have changed since our last visit a few months ago.“

“Low key might be your best slice in Bushwick/Ridgewood. It bests Robertas and Ops easily yet doesn't get the hype of either of the latter. They also have better appetizer options like a mint watermelon salad that we devoured before taking a picture. The pizza hits all the marks of a good pie and then goes a step beyond with a similar price point to Robertas. This is a great spot that's out of the was but absolutely worthy of the trip.“

“A small spot with a few seats. Pizza is pretty good. I go here maybe twice a month. Gotta get you a meat lovers or the garlic pin wheels. A little pricey for pizza BUT I also remember when pizza was a $1 so I still haven't quite let that go 😅.“

“So glad I found this place. I had the honey vodka square and burrata basil slice. Hiney vodka had thicker crust but which was amazingly soft. The flavours melded very well together. Burrata basil’s really yummy too, if you are a fan of burrata. Price was very decent and the service was very friendly. Place was bright and clean for a pizza joint. Will definitely come back and try their other pizzas which all looked good over the counter!“

“Good service, good pizza taste, cool pizza shape“

“Best Pizza Ever!!! Went today for the 1st time and was amazed. Must try!! I ate there…was so good, I had to get a few slices to go.“

“This spot not only has incredible pizza and an authentic Italian vibe, the owners are extremely friendly and are willing to talk about the history of the establishment!

You can just tell by the regulars who come in here and know exactly what they want as if they are here every day!

If I could give it 10 stars, I would!“

“This NYC pizzeria serves 100% Halal meat and offers an Indian twist on classic pizza, blending the best of Italian and Indian flavors. Their menu features everything from classic Napoletana and Romana styles to bold, Indian-inspired creations, each topped withsignature spiced Tadka oil.

The flavors are insane & Every bite is crafted to perfection! The Chicken Tikka Pizza & dosa waffles and chicken are a must! They both left me speechless! And the Paan Lemonade? Pure genius. you're in NYC, this spot is a must for adventurous food lovers!“

“By far our favorite restaurant we visit in the city. Have been here over 500x and the tagliatelle with sheep’s cheese cabbage and shrimp will never get old ! Carmine runs a beautiful establishment on the UWS“

“Riccardo & his team are simply amazing! Their hospitality, ambience, & food is truly unmatched!

We held a private event a couple of weeks ago & I have received nothing but compliments raving about the service & the food. People are still messaging me “thinking of the food from your event”

Thank you, Figlia!“

“Delicious Pizza, Attentive Service, Bustling Atmosphere
This pizzeria impressed me with its mouthwatering pizza and friendly staff. The slice I had was bursting with flavor, and the crust was perfectly cooked. The service was attentive, despite the crowded atmosphere. However, be prepared for a lively environment, which might not be ideal for everyone.“

“I'm sooo sad. I just found out about the closing today, because I wanted to drive to the city to get a favorite slice from my childhood days. My dad used to bring me home a plain slice on Saturdays back in the 70s, on his way home from Lyric HiFi a few blocks away. Best wishes to Mimi's. I'll never find another slice like yours.“

“Omg I love pizza it’s my favorite food to eat while traveling and I also buy a slice for my dog“

“A lovely little spot in Clinton Hill, the original Emily's pizza is always buzzing with young adults and families in the neighborhood. It's small, but intimate and they do have some outdoor seating for those warmer months. I got the Vivrant and Breydan pizzas with the Ceasear salad and everything was very good and affordable for a party of 2. We also had the "off the menu" banana pudding and it was SO GOOD. I couldn't stop eating it. Highly recommend for a causal dinner spot that never disappoints.“

“I love the delicious salads and pizzas at their store!“

“Today was my first time trying Baked by Luigi and let’s just say it won’t be my last. Cute comfortable spot on 23rd st in Manhattan and the owner is simply amazing. Despite it only being him he’s so full of life and energy! Definitely made me want to come back before even having my food. Normally when eating pizza I have a napkin just to take the grease off, that wasn’t the case this time and I’m so glad! Can’t wait to have my next slice.“

“Little Pizza Parlor is an NYU Tandon classic. It was first discovered by my roommate, who put all of us on to the spot. She is a regular there and orders the French Onion slice, which she would rate 10/10. We all went there late one night and the ambiance was incredible. This place deserves more applause.“

“It had been many years since our last meal at Double Zero. We had been missing out. We enjoyed everything we ordered and the three of us are a rather discriminating bunch. We kicked off our meal with the Sunflower Ceasar which was very shareable. Loved the creamy dressing. Next up we tried two pizzas—the Arrabbiata and the Squash Blossom—and one pasta—Cacio e Pepe. All three were delicious although the Arrabbiata was a tad soggy toward the center. For dessert we had the cheesecake which was creamy and flavorful without being too sweet.“

“Amazing pizzas. Cacao e Pepe. Vino🍷🍷“

“Great tasting food and nice atmosphere. Also a very attractive waitress, beautiful“

“Have been meaning to try this pizza store for a while. Looks so clean from the outside. Wow, I was impressed! Food is priced competitively with the pizza stores in the area (both non-kosher and kosher). Seating was really nice + had outdoor seating. Slices were very good, generous with the cheese on top and had a good crust. We also got sushi. Pleasantly surprised and happy to have a gem like this in the neighborhood. Wishing them hatzlacha!“
