50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Long Island City

“Just have to share how thrilled we are with Levante for hosting our wedding celebration dinner last weekend. The whole experience was wonderful, and we can’t thank the team enough for making our night so special.

From the start, the staff was incredible. They were so attentive, professional, and welcoming, which really made our guests feel at home. Our families especially couldn’t stop talking about how much they enjoyed themselves, and that’s all thanks to the amazing service we received.

Just as important, the food—it was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Our guests were raving about it, and it really added a special touch to our evening. The quality and flavors were top-notch, and it definitely made our celebration even more memorable.

The pricing for our event was also very fair, especially considering the incredible value we got. It was a great investment for such a significant occasion, and everything was transparent and straightforward.

The space itself is stunning and had just the right vibe for our special night. The ambiance was intimate and cozy, creating a perfect setting for our celebration.

Planning our event with Eden from Stella Hospitality was a breeze. She was super flexible and made everything so easy, which really took a load off our shoulders, and the night of our event she was there to make sure everything went smoothly.

If you’re looking for a fantastic venue for a special event, I highly recommend Levante. We’re incredibly grateful for everything they did to make our night so perfect. Thank you so much for being a part of our celebration!“

“My husband and I have eaten here twice: both times we’ve enjoyed delicious pizza, pasta, wine, coffee, and desserts. The staff are attentive and kind without hovering. Most recently, a couple and their young son were having dinner too. Beebe’s is a great choice for so many different people and families.“

“Spotted Gaudio's pizza from a block and a half away. It has a big green vertical awning. Upon entering very clean , calm pizzeria. Seating and eating area very nice . The service is great very freindly and attentive. The pizza is awesome fresh cheese and crust is soft yet crunchy . Pizza not overly saucy like others . Definitely not dry at all , not overly oily but enough that us pizza oil lovers love lol. I am a huge fan of pepporoni pin wheels but i opted for a slice and it was awesome . Definitely a gem tucked just a couple stores length in the middle of the block right off of steinway ?.“

“First time visiting. Great food and atmosphere! Owners were so nice. We will definitely be back!“

“Went in to get lunch. The staff were very kind and friendly. Was allowed to use restroom with no issue. Food was also inexpensive. I got a plate for 9.75 and it tasted amazing. Great for a quick breakfast or lunch stop and it’s cheaper than nearby restaurants.“

“I come to this superb restaurant every couple of days since I love the ambiance that is characterizes this place. The team is exceptionally attentive and skilfull. The service is extremely quick. Most important, the food you get is highly distinguished. I frequent often and I was always pleased. The rate is fair. I highly suggest this restaurant to all my friends.“

“one of the TOP pizzas around !! the BEST in LIC Long Island City vodka slice number #1 #2 bbq chicken slice, they JUST HAD TODAY IVE TRIED 5/22/23 first time I've seen that kind there.. KEEP MAKING THOSE sLICe #3 margarita slice #4 pesto slices in that order.“

“Excellent variety and great staff !!“

“La ensalada fría es muy rica“

“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.“

“Excellent“

“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!“

“One of the top pizza spots in the city for a reason - be prepared for a line but it moves quickly! Tried their Burrata slice which is my god so freaking tasty - definitely a must try. Their Cheese / Margarita - imo amazing slice but i prefer the classic ny cheese without basil or fancy parmesan cheese - nevertheless a great slice.
If you’re visiting NYC definitely should hit this spot, it’s famous among locals!“

“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.“

“The dessert was the best thing I’ve ever had in my life. The pizza crust was also amazing. Only down vote was that our pizza order was mixed up causing one to have added anchovies. Waiter was super nice and gave us free dessert but it wasn’t the best pizza I’ve had.“

“Vodka sauce pizza!! Sooo good.“

“Good service and good food“

“Best pizza in town“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Fantastic pizza. Friendly service. Walter was especially great. Both cheese and Suprema pizza was terrific. I will stop here everytime I come into the city.“

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

“highly recommended“

“We reserved a month in advance for a nice family dinner (party of four on a weekday), and they got us sat 30 minutes before our reservation. We sat on the patio and really enjoyed ourselves. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. We tried all three flights of lasagna: Vegetariano, Carne, and the Mare e Monti. All three flights were pretty outstanding, I don’t believe you can go wrong with one or the other. Nice wine menu to choose from.“

“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.“

“The pizza is very fresh and great quick service. The atmosphere is very family friendly

Vegetarian options: They have salads and pizza with no meats

Kid-friendliness: Area is safe and large space to bring your children“

“Quinoa Salad with chicken so good. The place is clean, the service is friendly. I will be back to try more items off the menu“

“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.“

“My fiancé and I came here for a dinner date and everything was fantastic. Our waitress Riley she was so sweet, so attentive. She recommended a few pizza dishes and specials and they definitely did't disappoint. We had the watermelon salad for appetizer, and for dinner I had the Diablo pie with portobello mushrooms, and my fiancé had the snow white pie. They are big bar pies so its best to split it but we ate with our eyes and stomach so we got a pie each. The pizza is fantastic its a little gem on Bleeker st. We will definitely coming back for more. Thank you Riley for helping us pick some tasty dishes that are now our ultimate favorite.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Now this is what you call Quality Pizza! Not my number one but it's damn close. Would like the slices just a tiny bit thicker. Tomato slices were phenomenal where the tomato sauce was but dry every where else. Still, with that crunchy crust and great flavor... Great job guys. I'll definitely be back to try a bigger variety of your slices. So far, my favorite pizza in Hoboken. But the search will continue.“

“Love everything at this place!“

“My husband came here after seeing a show in the city. We both have gluten allergies and I'm a vegetarian. They have so many options for pizza, sandwiches, and pasta. They have vegan options and gluten-free fried oreos. A lovely and delicious place to eat. Highly recommended.“

“Today, we stopped in to sample our first slice of NYC pizza. The gentlemen behind the counter quickly made us feel at home and not like the tourist from Kentucky who were aimlessly wandering Little Italy trying different foods. The building may be small, but the food is authentic. We opted for a large slice with fresh mozzarella, basil, and a crisp thin crust. Folks it was delish! So head on over to Nolita Pizza at 68 Kenmare St., New York, and tell them the lady from Kentucky sent you.“

“We need a place to eat near Port Authority and found them on google. What a great find! Food is great we have 3 pizzas and the server was wonderful nice and engaging. I will totally be back to try other things on the menu❤️“

“10/10 Luis is an exceptional waiter The ambiance was perfection Loved everything about this place. Will be back“

“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.“

“seriously, one of the best, if not the best. I have tried in other states, and still exploring. This is definitely close to making the cut.“

“Such a magical little respite near red hook! We loved the eggplant appetizer and margarita pizza. The white pizzas were also delicious but quite heavy(maybe lacked some acid / brightness? but I think it’s just a flavor preference thing). Can’t wait to go back and try more of the red sauce pies!“

“My family and I enjoy this place very much and the food is absolutely delicious. I always have a drunken grandma slice and they have the best mozzarella sticks. The sub Sandwiches are a reasonable price and size and the penne vodka is also a favorite dish!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Excellent Roman style pizza, beautifully presented! Truly a diamond in the rough world of NYC pizza.“

“Typical New York pizzeria.
Fast service, about 15 minutes to prepare.
We took a 'Cheese', the classic Margherita... about 8 very large slices. Three of us had our fill.
It's not the classic Italian pizza, but in the end eat them.“
