50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Oakland Gardens

“I can't honestly review Vito's because i haven't been there since 1976. As a kid we would ride bikes there and get slices and it was heaven. I bet it still is since they've been around nearly 50 years . If I ever get back to Queens I will definitely be there“

“Not enough words to describe how much I love this place.

It is consistently delicious. I will always start off with a Bruschetta or Raddichio Caesar and it hits every time. The pizzas are fantastic and they always have some funky flavor pairings that are surprisingly tasty. There is hardly a wait except on super busy nights (and then barely a wait at all) and the atmosphere is vibey. I have brought many friends and the reviews are always the same: amazing.

I’d recommend this as a great neighborhood spot any day.“

“Loved it here! Just stopped in at the spur of the moment and I am so glad I did! Felt like I was in a Manhattan Bar! Eva the bartender was great and so was the rest of the staff. Felt like I was with friends.“

“I work near this location and have been coming here as a regular since it opened. Also met Hakki (founder and CEO) at the Astoria location near my home. Awesome guy. Awesome pizza. I have particular menu favorites as well such as the truffle mushroom and chipotle chicken slices.“

“The young lady helping me today was super attentive, I didn't get her name, but it's 12-13-2025 at 11AM .
I wanted to tip her, it's Holiday season, but she kindly said they don't accept tips.
I feel that the owners should leave that up to us whether we want to recognize an employee by tipping and not dictate it whatsoever.
That is my only complaint.
Sincerely.
Monica.“

“Great service and Pizza to die for. My favorite spot for Queens“

“I’ve lived in New York City my whole life. From Brooklyn, to Queens and even the Bronx. I’ve tried pizza from all the 5 boroughs and non are as good as Eddies. You get a high quality slice with great service. You don’t get service like this from anywhere these days. When you go into Eddies you go back to a simple time where ingredients are fresh, conversations are warm and welcoming and the pizza is hot and delicious. Don’t sleep on this spot. It’s worth the trip and is some of the best pizza you can find in all of New York and Long Island“

“fantastic. great feel, friendly owners and workers. thank you“

“12/10!!! Great place! Awesome family owned restaurant and the pizza was amazing!! From Buffalo Ny!! We’ll be back !“

“Ordered for the first time last night, they were super accommodating since we called at 8:45 and they close at 9:00…. They made us 5 pies and I’m was so appreciative. They were so nice and even recommended one which I absolutely loved (with potatoes!) we can’t wait to go back but to eat there so we get the Pizza Hut out of the oven! Amazing owners and such a delight to have in valley steam!! The owner explained the ingredients and concept to my husband and his friend. They can’t back telling us so about it!“

“Visiting from Pennsylvania and I used to work in the area, I haven’t had good Pizza in a REALLY LONG TIME“

“Me and my mother went to get some pizza yesterday (9/27/25) and we were welcome by the owner and he explained all the different flavors of the pizza and they all sound so good. While we were waiting, the owner gave us free cookies and he gave us an extra slice of pizza and when we ate the cheese and BBQ chicken pizza, I felt like my spirit was leaving my body. Make sure you go here and you will be loved and left in shock of the atmosphere and the love of the staff that will keep you coming back! HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR YOU TO COME HERE WITH YOUR FRIENDS OR FAMILY.“

“La Pizzeria & Bagel in Valley Stream is a fantastic neighborhood spot! Their bagels are fresh and perfectly bakek. The pizza is always tasty, and they also serve excellent pasta dishes and hearty, flavorful soups that are perfect for a cozy meal. The variety on the menu means there’s something for everyone. The staff is friendly, and service is consistently fast and welcoming. A great go-to for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!“

“The pizza is first class! The crust is perfect! It snaps instead of biting into a pillow of heavy dough. the sauce is just right, not tart where you’ll have instant heartburn & not sweet where it tastes like some garbage out of a jar! All their food is equally delicious! The restaurant is spotless & has a rustic beautiful welcoming look. The staff & owners are respectful, friendly & attentive! I highly recommend this establishment!“

“My aunt was served spoiled food at the 5 burros cafe up the block from Austin Street Pizza. We were really upset because they simply gave us a refund and my aunt was left so hungry. I remembered Austin Street Pizza was down the block. We went there and even though they were shutting down for the night the gentleman behind the counter let me get a pizza for her. I am so grateful I was able to get her something to eat. Thank you for your kindness and graciousness. She said her pizza was delicious.“

“I was referred to NY SPINE CARE by my Neurologist and my PCP almost 4 years ago as I was in utter agony for 24/7 and didn't know where to turn to receive help and relief from the perpetual pain I was experiencing ad nausea. I was unable to get out of bed, sit up for any length of time and when I tried to get up, this feat was like climbing Mt. Everest for me. All seemed lost. The life I lived was completely negated and I was truly lost and at the end of my rope UNTIL I began receiving treatments from Dr. Han. My life came back in increments and my capabilities were back!!! I couldn't believe how much better I was feeling and functioning. I hope to never have to not be able to relinquish my treatments. Dr. Han is outstanding and I cannot sing his accolades enough. Choosing NY SPINE CARE was one of the best health decisions I have made.
I also want to acknolodge how wonderful Sunny, Nestor, Alfie and the entire staff is for their help, patience, assistance, knowledge, care and support during every procedure

With my eternal gratitude, appreciation and thanks!!!“

“Awesome staff and excellent pizza!“

“Absofreakinlutely! Eh yo fuhgeddaboudit!“

“Honestly one of the best New York ‘orange’ slices I’ve had. Been craving another slice ever since, usually a sign of a great pizza place to me. A true no frills slice joint, always fresh and truly the best tasting I’ve had in a very long time. Recommended.“

“We arrived at the restaurant and were seated by our host/waiter, Nick K. He was very attentive, went over the specials and gave his opinion to the best plates at the restaurant. He was very accommodating and told us that we can upgrade pastas and sauces with our meals. He started us off with warm Focaccia bread, I then ordered the veal parm. and mixed it with the Cacio e Pepe and a glass of Cabernet. My wife ordered the Bolognese with an Aperol Spritz. I had put in my reservation that we were celebrating my wife's birthday and Nick brought three desserts to the menu which was a nice touch. We were pleasantly surprised and will definitely be going back to try other delicious plates.“

“Wanted some authentic NY pizza during my stay. They nailed it! Antipasto is amazing and they couldn’t have been nicer. Kind of want to move to NY just for the food 🤣“

“I recently went for dinner with a small group of- it was the first time for all of us. I didn't have high expectations, but was very pleased with our meal and the service.
The restaurant is on the small side (I suggest a reservation), but very attentive, and the bar area is very cute and modern. Our waitress was very attentive, and everything we ordered was delicious, including my spicy cucumber margarita. To start we shared the falafel platter, large enough to be shared, and the fire roasted eggplant in a green herb tahini sauce (I think that's what it was) - tender and delicious! I had the special brussel sprout Cesar salad w/ added grilled chicken, and others ordered the salmon and enjoyed it. We didn't order dessert, but I'll definitely try something sweet next time!“

“There pizza is so yummy. my son and daughter love it very much.“

“So glad to see Joe’s on Uber Eats this has been by go to for years! Not only is their pizza the best but the customer service is impeccable! Ordered through Uber Eats and the courier delivered the wrong order to my daughter’s school. Joe personally called me back and immediately rectified the situation. He sent a new order and called Uber eats to get my refund!!“

“Best food and pizza around!“

“Staff was incredible and the food was delish! Highly recommend! Did I tell you the drinks were awesome?!“

“This pizzeria has been here for a long time and that says something. I’ve been coming here for over 20 years and it’s still fire. I don’t live close by anymore but every time I come back I always find myself here first. 8.3“

“the food is phenomenal and the decor transports you out of the Bronx“

“Gino's Pizzeria of Lynbrook is fantastic.
I had been going there since I was a young kid. The guys there are the best and treat all their regulars like family.
Back in 2015 I had to move abroad for work and when I returned back to the States I had to setttle in the Midwest.
After almost 10 years of not being able to visit Gino's one could say I missed it a lot.
Ass soon as I got back to NY on a family visit I made sure to stop there.
They remembered me the second I walked in and that speaks to the great level of how they treat their customers.
I can't say enough good things about them.
My absolute favorite place.
Their pizza is the best. Recommend their Cesar salad Pie as most places just don't get it right but Gino's Lynbrook gets it spot on.
Very traditional NY pizzeria from the atmosphere to the service not to mention their delicious menu options.

100% recommended.“

“After my wife and I were married in 1976, we lived for a time in an apartment building on East Superior Street, next door to Gino East's pizzeria, in Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood, steps from the Magnificent Mile. At least once a week, usually after we returned from our day's work, we had dinner at Gino East's. It was our introduction to one of the best pizzas in town. But that was then and this is now. I'm at Gino East's of Chicago in Los Angeles and I want to see how the West Coast version of Gino East's pizza compares to its original in Chicago. Located at 12924 Riverside Drive in Sherman Oaks, one of Los Angeles' most fashionable suburbs, it has been voted the best pizza for two years in a row by the Los Angeles Times, deep dish and thin crust. Open from 11:30 to 9 Sunday through Thursday and 11:30 to 10 on Friday and Saturday, this location was opened in 1969, three years after the flagship restaurant was launched at 162 East Superior in Chicago. To be sure I could enjoy the same kind of pizza that I have been enjoying since I was in high school in the 1950s, I opted for Gino East's "Build Your Own" offer, a 16-inch large thin crust pizza with chunky tomato sauce, Italian sausage and real aged mozzarella cheese. Just what the doctor ordered. I'm told that Gino's East of Chicago also makes a mean batch of spaghetti and meatballs. Next time.“

“Amazing food! We order from them every week! I love their salad pizza and the fact that they have gluten free options makes it even better! Their minestrone soup is delicious as well! The food is always piping hot & ready, we never have to wait! Their staff is super friendly and always get our order right! Highly recommend Rustica!!! 🙂💗“

“Best pizza in town.. highly recommended 👍🏼“

“amazing pizza and amazing service 100% reccomend this place

Dietary restrictions: have anything you can eat whether youre on a diet or not

Kid-friendliness: amazing and friendly to everyone no matter age or race“

“One of my favorite spots in Ridgewood! Limited menu but something for everyone, order and grab a spot outside to take in the neighborhood vibes. The spinach and cheese burek is consistently packed with flavor. Always get the side yogurt to pair.“

“Phenomenal pizza and friendly staff. Plus, they have Dr. Pepper and Gold Peak Tea. Can’t wait to return! 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Five stars without hesitation! This tandoori pizza brought the heat in all the right ways. Juicy chunks of smoky chicken, charred peppers, and just the right kick of spice layered over gooey cheese — pure perfection. It’s like my favorite tandoori platter decided to become pizza, and I fully support its career change.“

“The best are the meatballs and the Hooks Specialty pizza. The meatballs tasted just like grandma’s on a Sunday afternoon and the Hooks specialty pizza was fantastic. We are hooked on Hooks!!!“

“Service terrible and tomato soup tasted like it was watered down plus cold.Waitress was visiting with colleagues more than giving us service. We were the only ones in the restaurant during lunchtime. When it came to receiving our bill she put the wrong price down she said there was no manager to talk to which she lied to us. Overall Service and Food at the St.Albert location I would definitely not recommend on the other hand McGrath on the southside excellent for service food everything etc.“

“My wife and I have ordered from Previti for several years now thru Door Dash. the food has always been excellent. The other day I had a call from Previti. It was the owner, Joe. He told me that my mother had wandered in after having her car bumper come completely loose on Marcus Ave. She had no phone, and was shaken up by the whole ordeal. Joe called me for her, and gave her a cup of hot tea. I went over, picked her up and got her home. Later my wife and I returned to pick up her car. We decided to eat dinner there and take advantage of the pasta night specials. The lasagna and the rigatoni with meat sauce were both excellent. Thank you Joe and staff for taking good care of my mother, and providing us with an excellent meal! All the best!“

“Great Sicilian, if you can catch them open. If you want to order ahead for pick up, do it at least 2 hours in advance or you will be turned down and they don't deliver. Cash Only.“

“I stopped by here on my way home from work. I just searched pizza on my route home. Best decision I’ve ever made. I haven’t had a true NY slice in a while, especially a specialty slice. The pizza was fresh, the crust had crispy edge but the pizza was still light and fluffy. The place is cash only and the slices are a bit pricey for the size but honestly I would go back it was pretty worth it. I got a plain cheese and BBQ chicken. Plain slice is $3.50 bbq $4.50“

“It's our first time here, we wanted a more regular style of pizza vs the regular Danni's pizza that we normally get in the neighborhood so we decided to give this one a shot. There pene slice was delicious and the garlic knots were fabulous, best ones I've had yet actually. We also ordered a cheese slice and the pepperoni , I found the pizza to be to floppy I would have preferred more of a slight crunch and sturdy slice. But none the less it satisfied my craving for a classic regular NY slice“
