50 Best Pizza Restaurants near North Merrick

“I must have passed Galleria Pizzeria a 100 times. Finally went in. Only had apps but they were all delicious. Had the stuffed artichoke and the chicken scarp wings. The wings were prob the best I have had. Loved the sauce they were in. They had a veal chop special tonight pounded thin on the bone with vodka sauce or red sauce. Looked awesome. Artichoke also excellent. Nice and garlicky !“

“(Edited my og review because it was poorly written and rushed.)So there I was, on a spontaneous adventure, when suddenly, BAM! Google throws me a curveball - "Nutella Empanada." You bet I was intrigued. It was like the universe daring me, "Bet, let's go."Stumble into this place, and it's like I've walked into the heart of the local scene. This guy, just oozing neighborhood vibes, hits me with, "You're not from around here, huh? Welcome to the best Italian spot in town." And he didn't stop there - gave me the lowdown on all the hidden gems nearby. This dude was living and breathing local charm, and I was here for it. The lobby? Packed with the coolest cats you could meet.Turns out, snagging a table at this joint is usually like finding a unicorn - pretty darn rare. But guess what? They worked some magic and got us in... into an outdoor igloo, no less! Yeah, you read that right. An igloo! (Peep the pics for proof - it's as rad as it sounds.)Now, let's talk food. Holy smokes, it's delish. The staff? Angels in disguise, I swear. Super friendly, on-point, and ready to make your experience top-notch.Oh, and if you see anything with Vodka sauce on the menu, just do yourself a favor and order it. It's a solid 10/10. Trust.All in all, this spot isn't just a restaurant; it's a local legend. Do yourself a favor and drop by. You won't regret it.“

“We hosted our daughter's first birthday here with 40 people on a Sunday afternoon. Working with Ervis and Gabriella was fantastic -- great communication and very flexible. The event turned out better than we could have expected. The food is AMAZING. Everybody is still raving about it and a few of our family members have already been back! Would definitely recommend hosting a small event here!“

“They never miss! I'm a pretty faithful patron of Toskana and have never been disappointed no matter what I've ordered. This time around, I stopped in to order catering for my daughters first birthday. I had an idea of what I wanted for the kids but also wanted to make sure the adults had options too. (Parents, we're tired of sharing the leftover inch wide slices at bday parties!! ) Mike was super helpful with taking the order and sharing options that would best suit my party size. We went with some pies, chicken tenders, fries, and the dinner special. Everything was delivered right on time as promised. The adults that attended the party are STILL raving about the spread months later! They were so impressed we considered them and they said everything was delicious. If you're looking for a caterer for your event, GO WITH TOSKANA!“

“Hi I don't usually don't do reviews but I had a surprise birthday party for my wife on 3/23 of a party of 20 people and from the beginning dealing with and planning with EVA she went up and above my expectations walking me threw everything from beginning to end I can't say enough of her and Barbara and just wanted to thank Barbara our server handled all of us with no issues at all and all of the staff who helped with everything from Eva, Barbara and would give both of them 10 stars and more and food was absolutely exquisite“

“Kayla was our server, and supplied the vibe. She recommended the Speck pizza with hot honey, and that pizza changed my life. So damn good! I’m not kidding when I say that I loved it so much I ordered another one to go, to enjoy later that night. That smoked mozzarella ?. The Gnocchi was awesome and they even offer it in a bread bowl! The Italian sodas are also good, if you love natural ginger flavor, the apple ginger one for sure hits.“

“We are regulars of the Anthony’s in Woodbury and can’t say enough about the whole experience. The food is amazing the new additions like the spinach and artichoke dip keep us coming back but what really makes us keep coming back is the hospitality. Phil makes you feel like family from the moment you walk in the door and Sam is the best! We love Anthony’s!“

“I love this place. Their red pepper-oni is amazing. It's slightly spicy and Mike's honey oil drizzled on it was an explosion on my tongue!They even have desserts. I hear the Nutella donut is the best but they were out.They sampled a brisket sanwhich they will offer next week. It was delicious. I might have to fly back!“

“Similar to other Mother Kelly’s this place has a fantastic menu of beer (and ciders and wines if that’s your jam). The game changer is the pizza, it is simply amazing. A whole pizza is MASSIVE although quite a thin crust so manageable between a couple of you. They sell it by the slice too. Had some birthday drinks there recently with a group of people and they went down a treat. Don’t know if they still serve the meat and cheese platters, don’t care - get a pizza.“

“Have passed this pizzeria many times and never went in cause I just thought the parking was too difficult . Someone told me today that this was their favorite pizza in Plainview ( it at the border of Plainview and Hicksville on Woodbury road and south oyster bay road). I asked why and he said , it's the cheesiest! Anyway, I decided to try it and was very pleased. I had a cauliflower pizza which was excellent and I could present it was healthier. The regular slice was also good and really cheesy as promised. Inside the dining room is nicer than you can tell from the outside. The staff are efficient and accommodating. You can park on the street , but they DO have a parking lot in back, around the corner. Gotta say, although I haven't been here for 28 years, I plan to return.“

“Very tasty personal pies!!! Slightly on the expensive side but worth it if you are in the area. My misses and I are in our 60's and probably could have just split one pie between us. But then we couldn't enjoy reheated leftover slices.“

“family's and single adults alike this is a place not to be ignored. Apon entering the dining room I was approached by not one but two waitresses. Destin to make me comfortable and welcomed. the food and wine were excellent. cleanliness top notch. Decor was warm inviting and classy. Not to forget the owner . He is a natural with business, quality of food taste and presentation. Between my two favorite servers and he I personally found it very hard to leave the Bar tonight . I will certainly be back.“

“This is the best pizza in the Seaford Wantagh area, which is saying something. I 've worked through the menu in pizza and pasta items, and it is definitely thin crust NYC rooted, but also is just full of flavor. The round grandma is a gimmick, but is still delicious. The spinach and white pizza is the best I ever had. The baked ziti is cheesed top to bottom, not just one drop of ricotta like most places. Found these guys just this year, and now they're my go to. Thanks for opening nearby, and for the WLIR vibe w the music choices.“

“Some of the best speciality squares in the area. Their regular pies are great to, a slightly thinner crust than the traditional NY slice. Service counter is always on top of their game cause the place can get packed, so staff is always working hard to get you your order done. Only a handful of high tops inside to eat your slice at but the business is set up perfectly to go in and grab your order on the go, but in the nicer weather they do a great job setting up picnic tables.outside to enjoy great pizza and the warm weather. Very clean as well.“

“Weekday ladies lunch. Large portions of excellent food. Beautiful ambiance. We weren't rushed (wasn't crowded but still we lingered for a bit) and enjoyed the afternoon out. Staff was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Highly recommend.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Villa Milano, and let me tell you, it was an experience to remember! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that instantly made me feel like family. The crew at Villa Milano is truly exceptional - attentive, friendly, and always ready with a smile.Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the pizza. Oh my goodness, where do I even begin? The pizza at Villa Milano is nothing short of spectacular. Each bite is a symphony of flavors, with a perfect balance of sauce, cheese, and toppings atop a delectably crispy crust. Whether you're a fan of classic combinations or craving something a bit more adventurous, Villa Milano has something for everyone. Trust me when I say, you won't be able to resist going back for seconds (and thirds)!But what truly sets Villa Milano apart is the atmosphere. It's not just a restaurant; it's a place where memories are made and friendships are forged over mouthwatering slices of pizza. Whether you're dining in with friends or grabbing a takeaway, you'll always leave Villa Milano with a smile on your face and a satisfied stomach.In summary, if you're in the mood for delicious pizza served with a side of warmth and hospitality, look no further than Villa Milano. It's a true gem in the world of pizza restaurants, and I can't wait to go back for another slice of perfection.“

“Love this place. I live right across the street. I'm in love with their grandma's pizza. The food is delicious. Shrimp scampi is my favorite. And their garlic knots are so garlicky. I usually get a dozen and eat them all myself in way under 2 days. It is my go to place for pizza and pasta. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.“

“North shores local staple. It's my go to, hands down. You'd be foolish to go anywhere else. Weather your in pt.wash., Rosslyn or Glenn head. 100% fresh every time. A true family establishment. Never disappointed.Parking: There's always a spotWheelchair accessibility: 4 wheels or two legs, your always welcome.“

“Really good pizza ! ordered the upside down Sicilian and it was perfect. ordered it well done. The bottom was crispy and the dough was perfect ! Really good pizza sauce ! Also had a plain slice and it was very good! Fried calamari were Very good !“

“Great food at a small local place with ambiance... if you can get a reservation. They change their menu seasonally... Their wood fired pizza -smoked mozzarella, figs, prosciutto, arugula, pecorino, balsamic is amazing! So is the octopus//lemon & squid ink bean puree..pistachio gremolata..pickled chiles & red onions..celery! They should have cushions available for their metal chairs for those with back issues.“

“Delightful Italian experience! We started with sautéd calamari and the Ceaser perfect for the both of us. The penne a la vodka was aldente and creamy, and the halibut was perfectly cooked amazing with the potato and escarole combo. Exceptional flavors, friendly service a must try! True hidden “

“We recently moved to Lynbrook and Gallery Four is one of our favorite restaurants for take-out. We order frequently. Our meal comes with salad and bread. Their food is delicious, fresh, and affordable. We have ordered chicken francese, lasagna, chicken parm, penne alla vodka, and garlic knots. Will continue ordering from them and trying new meals. ?“

“Great family feeling. Delicious food...owner???.Had my birthday dinner tonight....can't wait to go back!!!!Kid-friendliness: My 7 year old granddaughter Abigail loves it there. She can practice the two words she knows in Italian... Ciao Bella and loves the food“

“We love this place, it's the only pizzaria in rvc we'll eat at/from! Even though I believe the owner, John is it? Is a Rangers fan he doesn't hold my being a die hard Islanders fan against me! ? Staff is friendly making for a more comfortable atmosphere! My food suggestion/s would be, try it all! Thank you for the service, sys! And remember, the change...has ? hahahaha ?“

“We hosted a party of 25 at Sapori’s to celebrate our son’s baptism. From the moment we went in to plan for the dinner to the entire dinner experience, we have nothing but great things to say! The staff is incredibly friendly and professional, all while providing us with excellent service - not to mention the amazing food and drinks. They were accommodating of all of our requests and everything was done so well! We highly recommend Sapori’s and will be back for more events in the future.“

“Pretty nice Restaurant, I like this place. Only thing that disappointed me is my entree Easter menu, the lamb chop milanese, the most expensive one on the menu, but it was over deeply fried, too dry, I can bearly taste it's still a lamb.“

“Although the place was busy for a Friday, we were seated immediately at the bar. Food choices is mostly italian and a brick over pizza. Bar service is good Adrian the bartender makes the best Martinis.. Tried the wild berry cosmo and I'm addicted. Also tried the coconut Martini which was also quite good. Pours are generous. For appetizers the Octopus was quite good. Served with Hummus and Crisps.. You will eat everything in the plate.. Perfect compliments. For my entree.. Had the RVC pizza.. White sauce pizza with toppings which included Prosciutto, arugula and parmigiana cheese. Fantastic... Will make this a part of my regular rotation“

“A big Shout out to GUSTOSO’s Pizzeria for hosting my sister’s 29th birthday celebration. I absolutely adored the family vibe that you feel as soon as you walk in. This is my absolute favorite restaurant in Huntington now :blush:. Owners allowed us to bring our own décor. The food was fantastic and no matter what we ordered we were delighted with our meal! But if you ask me the Chicken Alla Vodka was DELICIOUS! Special thanks to Jasmine our server, she was such a pleasure to be around, very efficient, happy, and polite. Can’t wait to return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a small friendly place that will make it a memorable experience to the ones you love.“

“This long time favorite continues on with great service and delicious food. Parking during the day is hit and miss but that aside for those of us who love a local red table cloth Italian with Italians at the helm DiMaggio's is it. One tip try the Lasagna and you will be hooked for life. Large menu and it is all delicious.“

“What an adorable little place for a cocktail! Cute and cozy vibes. Friendly bartender. Interesting and moderately priced drinks. We stopped in for some pre dinner cocktails and were really impressed with this place. Will definitely be back!“

“My husband and I had Chicken franchese, Gnocchi sorrentino, Sides of caesar salad and penne ala vodka. Everything was delicious. Even the oil to dip the bread in was amazing. I loved everything! We can’t wait to go back and try the family style dinner.“

“First, let me start by saying I don't believe in bad reviews, they can hurt a person's business and I think people should judge for themselves. Having said that, I do, however, believe in good reviews so here goes. I feel like this restaurant is one of the best pizzeria/Italian restaurants that I've ever been to. Aside from the courteous staff and the excellent service, the food is amazing. You can't go wrong with anything that you order. We've been here quite a few times and never had a bad experience. We ordered different things every time and the food seems to be getting better and better. Just an excellent experience overall. Besides all that, the place is very inviting and very clean. Shout out to the staff and owner for making us feel like it was worth it to come all the way from Queens on a Friday night during lent. One of our favorite places by far. I wish I could give it more than just five stars.“

“Amazing team of people! My family has gotten their catering for a long time for different gatherings and events. I couldn’t imagine getting any other caterer for mine & my fiancés engagement party. The food is always amazing, the team is always so helpful and get everything done. Everyone at our party was raving about how delicious the food was & how great the drinks were! I will always recommend Felicos!“

“If you're in the NY area this is a must try, not your ordinary pizzeria. By far the best pizza I have encountered living in NY and the drive is completely worth it. Staff is beyond friendly and the pizza never disappoints. The VodkaRoni Detroit just hits differently.“

“Solid pizza and ingredients. We ordered a Grandma pie and a few slices of white and eggplant+ricotta. The marinara and cheese on the grandma were good. The grandma is also 12 slices which is a nice bump in size compared to other shops which make 9 slices pies. My only knock on their pizza is the crust. It tastes like a low protein/gluten content flour, almost like all purpose or maybe a little cake flour mixed in. So it's not as chewy as I think pizza crust should be. That said, it's still got a solid crispy layer.“

“First time here. Great atmosphere, the place looks great. The service was on point. We shared the excellent meatballs and lasagna as an appetizer. The only critisizm an its nit picky is the pasta in the lasagna was a bit over cooked. It was still delicious. The pizza who's name I regretfully forget (rectangular crust, fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, basil) was excellent, particularly the crust. We will return!“

“Probably the best NY style pizza I’ve had in Long Island. I’m from out of town but this spot has opened my eyes to what’s good in the area.Vegetarian options: There are many vegetarian options for almost all kinds of Italian dishes.Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options and are accommodating to peoples dietary restrictionsParking: Lots of paid street parking, free parking across the street and also free manuciple parking near by.Kid-friendliness: It is very kid friendly and even has a party room that can host birthday parties or any kind of party at that.Wheelchair accessibility: There is rampant access at the end of the street at the street lights.“

“This was my first time at this pizza shop. I was in the neighborhood and wanted something to eat. I was heading to one pizza shop on the main road & I happened to see this one in the cut. Something told me to go there instead & I'm happy that I did. Very welcoming as I walked in through the door. I would definitely revisit when I'm in the neighborhood again.“

“Went at a busy time with my 91 year old dad. The owner immediately brought him a chair as we had a bit of a wait and made accommodations to get him seated as soon as she could. She checked on him periodically, held the door for him and couldn’t have been more kind. Added bonus is the food was amazing as it always is!“

“I love the buffalo cauliflower pizza.sweet and tangy.the garlic tomato pizza was equally delicious. dough is crispy and doughy at the same time. fresh ingredients is the key and they don't mask the natural flavor of the ing with a lot of oil pour over the pie,I am not a pizza lover but this is a place that is on my radar screen and I certainly will return too.“

“Best Pizza in town!! Whenever I travel from out state and desiring a pizza, this is true come and the over customer service is superb! Thank you for all you wonderful dedication to serve the public.Parking: Parking is available at the rear of the building“

“Amazing staff . I stopped in when my sugar level happened to plummet I'm diabetic. Also I rank in the top 10% globally on google maps for pizza reviewers and I'd like to thank the staff for their hospitality. If you guys remember me. Thank you. The food is amazing . Top notch. Just crispy enough. Doesn't fall apart and slide off. 100% an all time favorite Umberto's all the way“

“2/15/2024 went for lunch. I ordered a pepperoni slice, that was great, but thenI ordered 2 chicken Caesar salad pizzas and I should have taken pictures. It was a mess. I thought they would out the cheese first to bind the chicken and salad to the pizza, that's not how it was done. They didn't put sauce on the top to help the chicken, it was dry. I will never order it again. They said they will give me a credit which is great customer service. I like Roma Pizza, just not there chicken Caesar pizza. I felt the people should know. Grandma pizza so good.“

“Absolutely delicious. The food is fantastic. I had calamari...perfect, Shrimp Francaise...perfect, literally. I had a slice of Margherita pizza at the first bite, I closed my eyes and threw my head back. The staff was friendly and the place was clean.GO NOW?!!!“

“I've only been ordering pizza from this place for the past year. I guess I got lucky in choosing a good spot because their pizza are straight up bangers!On this current order photo I had the pepperoni, Buffalo chicken and grandma pie.They never gave me a reason to try another pizza spot, this is my only source for my pizza needs.Everytime I order this place is always busy, takes them about 30 - 45 minutes to make a pie, depending how busy they are, definitely worth the wait, order ahead. Just had their wings, Buffalo and plain, also amazing.“

“Overall a very nice experience . The service was fantastic, the drinks were served quick. We had the meatballs as an appetizer and they were perfect... very tasty. We both had the chicken parm. It was clearly freshly made and overall a nice meal. The only thing we didn't like is how oily the chicken parm was. The oil took over the taste a bit, but it was still pretty good.“

“Took my Massachusetts family there last night and they loved it! Great job owners and managers training such a friendly, professional staff. One of the best I've ever seen. Food was outstanding, and the kids loved the garlic knots. Arguably the best pizza place I've ever visited, and I worked at two different ones as a kid.“

“Joey's Pizza is a GEM that I recently discovered in Lynbrook Long Island. The food is amazing and always priced right! Everything from the pizza to the frozen meals are delicious and a must try. You won't believe how little you spend for such quality food. The icing on the cake is the people are very nice!“

“The place is amazing. The best part about it is the fact that a full animatronic 1-stage is there and it’s the best one of its kind. The 2.0 remodels are absolutely horrendous. Replacing the beautiful stage with 5% of it (Video wall) and that dance floor is the least the community wants. I suggest this store should keep the stage as its condition is the full opposite of beyond repair. The store is nice itself but the Animatronics make it a fan favorite. (Photos shown are outdated)“

“Our goto place when we’re hungry and nothing comes to mind. Where the food is excellent, and there are plenty of delicious choices of pizza and pasta’s, the prices are good, but the employees are all friendly and go out of their way to make sure your dining experience is top shelf.Thanks to allParking: Plenty of parking either in the front or back“
