Motorini Pizzeria truly stands out as a gem for pizza lovers. The pizza, with its perfectly charred crust and fresh, high-quality ingredients, strikes a delightful balance between traditional Italian flavors and innovative culinary twists. The staff at Motorini is friendly and attentive, ensuring that every visit is memorable. This pizzeria is not just about eating; it's about enjoying a slice of Italy right in the heart of the city.

Great place! Pizza is delicious. We tried both vegan pizzas and loved them. (Note: the red vegan pizza doesn't come with vegan cheese, so you have to order it as an add-on... But it's fantastic either way!). And try the Chardonnay--it's really tasty.Our server Joe was exceptional -- a real pro's pro!Can't wait to go back! (Update March 2024: Went back tonight for a second time--did takeout. Amazing! So Delicious! We got one of each of the vegan pizzas and they were both so good! Thank you, Motorino!).Highly recommended!!!

Don't place an order for pickup. This place can't follow simple instructions, and then argues with you on the phone about their mistake.

I was really impressed with the clam pie. Meatballs are also great.

Food is great and prices are reasonable esp for Manhattan. The style is light on the sauce which is great if that's your thing.

Ordered through UberEats. Took longer than expected, so called the restaurant directly. The guy stated that they don’t accept their orders after 21:30 and that there is nothing they can do except for me to call UberEats. Their pizza is amazing but very disappointed at the service I received. If you’re not accepting orders past 21:30, why don’t you guys just put the closing time on 21:30 on UberEats so that no one can order past that time???

Best service ever! Great food. Our dirinks and food were the best. Incredible service.

I did Uber eats from here on a stormy night, while I was craving for some carbs. I got mozzarella and peppers (oily and not seasoned, hard pass!), white pizza with prosciutto (the best thing) and tiramisu (buy it from Whole Foods instead, the crust was not even wet from the coffee mix - hard pass again!). I might come here for in person dining at some point, but never doing delivery again.

Really great spot in EV for a delicious Neapolitan style pizza. It's small inside but very cozy and their staff are always very friendly. Don't overthink it too much, pizza is the way to go here. I'd say if you're hungry you can take down one of the pies yourself. Love the meatball and amatriciana pizzas. The dough is perfect for a Neapolitan pizza, has a good chew, a little crisp, and is thin without being too floppy.

It's been years since I went to the original Motorino in Brooklyn and today we were near the East Village one and decided to go in and have their lunch special.It was very quiet (it's right before Christmas) but we didn't feel uncomfortable in an almost empty restaurant. The room is very nicely done, it's very 'East Village', long and narrow, clean and bright with the pizza oven at the back. Service was excellent, staff were very accommodating and friendly.The lunch deal is a green salad with any pizza for $17. It's a very good deal. The green salad was a good one, a variety of fresh leaves, nicely dressed and a generously sized portion.The pizzas are excellent. The dough is light and soft, the ingredients are high quality, with very good mozzarella, meats, fresh herbs etc. They taste like pizza I have had in Italy. Motorino is my new favorite pizza spot. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and they have deals not only on lunch but on takeout (currently 'buy two, get three'). Highly recommend for the food and it's a cute spot for a date night too!
