50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Oakland Gardens

“You don't get restaurants like this anymore. This is a locally owned gem. Situated between flashy restaurants, one might pass it up. But don't make that mistake. You will never find better food in such a homely place. The humility and kindness here is beyond imagination.“

“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.“

“I’ll give 5 stars because I want them to stay in business !!!! But they need to change something.
*****IT USED TO BE 5 STARS*****, I used to go at night all the time when the dude that didn’t speak English worked there. But now for the last few months, he’s gone, and the pizza was NOT GOOD the last 3 times I went over the last couple months. Only at night I have eaten here. So i couldn’t tell you about the daytime.

In restaurant business, things need to be consistent, too bad no restaurants are really like this. Because people change up all the time. One little thing can change A LOT in food prep/cooking. I know. I’ve been in restaurant business for 10+ years… hope you guys can fix whatever was wrong with the pizza. I miss it lol“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Visited this pizza shop on my way to the airport and it was such a lovely experience. The pizza was great, and the owner is so friendly! He offered my partner and I a sample slice so we could try the food first. We got the lunch specials which were only $6 for two slices and a soda. Wonderful hospitality, and there's a lot of regulars here too. It is cash only so make sure you have some on hand.“

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

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

“I got the shrimp and lobster pizza and the oxtail. Sandwich with I believe it was jerk sauce. Both were very good. I was a little bit skeptical about spending $20 for a slice of pizza but it was worth it. From the pizza crust to the sandwich bread to the shrimp and lobsters and the oxtail all the ingredients taste fresh. looked it, too The server was very nice. I had been sitting, waiting for my order and he held the package out to me waiting until I came over. I like that he didn’t put it down on the counter and walk away which I thought was very nice. It’s a small location, but that was OK. I wasn’t there very long. This is definitely my new pizza joint!“

“Best pizza in NYC! And their fried calzones are a must 😊“

“I placed an order with Frankie’s today, and they were a little backed up because of all the orders they had. The management team was very accommodating and apologetic when my food came out late. I truly appreciate their professionalism and hospitality. The food was amazing, and I’ll definitely be back. Thank you for the great service!“

“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!“

“If you have a gluten and dairy allergy and you really want a pizza that tastes like the real deal, Austin Street Pizza is the place to go. They have by far the absoultr best gluten free, vegan pizzas. They do not have one of those really thin gluten free crust, you actually get a real crust. A call in is required if you are ordering to go, the online menu does not give you the option to customize the pizza.“

“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!“

“This is pizza to drive miles for!! 😋“

“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“

“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 always order the alfredo pasta with chicken cutlet and spaghetti and meatballs, I feel like they’re 100x more better than the fancy italian resto’s Ive been to before. White pizza and garlic knots are amazing and chicken ceasar salad too. Highly recommended for people visiting maspeth. The prices are fair and the serving is outstanding.“

“Good Pizza Great service Good Beer“

“They make the absolutely best Pizza 🍕 the GRAMMA PIZZA US JUST THE BEST!!!“

“​I visited Dr. Han for neck pain through a referral from my neurologist. Dr. Han explained the available treatments in great details, giving me full confidence in his care.
I’ve already scheduled my next visit. The staff is professional and kind, and the dedicated. parking lot is a plus!“

“Everyone was friendly and casual. The waitress and owner took time to speak with us. The Margherita pizza and meatballs appetizer were good. The tomato sauce was excellent.“

“Absofreakinlutely! Eh yo fuhgeddaboudit!“

“I love their pizzas. They have a brick oven that they make their pizzas in and it really brings out the authenticity of the pizza. Their pizzas are sized just for you to eat. You have a choice of ordering a bigger/“regular” sized pizza that you’d often see at other pizza places but their pizza size makes it so easy for you to just eat that by yourself and go. One recommendation for when you go is definitely the bbq chicken pizza! I love the bbq chicken pizza. I get it all the time but it may be a little too sweet for some as said by others that have tried the pizza but i dont think you can go wrong with bbq chicken pizza even if you do find it a bit sweet.“

“The Best Pizza and Hero’s!! 👍🏻👍🏻“

“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’ve been wanting to try this pizza spot for a while but never made the time to stop in—even though it’s right across from my doctor’s office. I finally went today and I’m so glad I did!

The owner was so genuine and kind, and it was great chatting with him. He mentioned he doesn’t use sugar in his tomato sauce, which I really appreciated.

I ordered the Napoli Special with peppers, onions, sausage, pepperoni, and meatballs—absolutely delicious! Perfectly crispy thin crust with just the right amount of toppings. Easily the best pizza I’ve had in a long time.

My family devoured most of it as soon as I got home. We’ll definitely be back! 🍕“

“I had a late start to dinner, i saw this place was open until 11. I got there at 10:30 and they were cleaning up, so I grabbed a few slices to go... And for pizza at 10:30 before they are closing... Honestly one of the BEST slices!!! Some places have bland taste, but Amore had one of the tastiest sauces and cheese, crispy crust. Just an all around A+. I'll definitely be coming back for this delicious pizza! Thank you“

“Awesome staff and excellent pizza!“

“Best food and pizza around!“

“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!!“

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

“Great Pizzaria, even better company. It reminds me of the old pizzaria I used to go as a kid. I got a Falafel sandwich --Delicious!

I saw someone ordering a dessert. Out of curiosity I asked what it is because I have never saw something like it and with no words at all he simply add some on my plate what a nice gesture.“

“Wish i could give 7 star on service section!! Mr Raj and Mr Amit are two of the best staff I've ever met!!! Very friendly ane welcoming!!! Definitely recommend this place!!! Definitely Will come to this spot every week from now on!!! Forgot to mention that they also serve vegetarian and halal options!!!“

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

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

“Gino’s vs Unberto’s is like the Torchy Taco vs Taco Deli debate in Austin. They are both high-quality products, but I am more old school NY style pizza, and Gino’s edges out the “newcomer” by is more traditional NY slice style and sauce.“

“This Place not only has amazing pizza & food,It’s the old school Mom & Pop atmosphere that doesn’t exist anymore. Family ran to the point you feel like family.. It’s A Must!!!“

“I have to admit this is one of the best pizzas I've ever had. I used to go elsewhere but stopped going there when I discovered Franks pizza. The food here is always fresh, and the service is great. The gentlemen are always so polite and always have smiles on their faces. It's such a pleasure to come here and sit in or take home. Stop by, and you will see what I mean. TOP NOTCH BUSINESS!“

“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 !“

“This has honestly and silently become the most solid breakfast spot in Ridgewood. Super understated, you’ve probably passed by it without even knowing what it was or how good it is but truly it is amazing and so worth a try!

3 varieties of crispy, flaky, flavorful burek (eastern European style pizza) - cheese, meat, or spinach. I’m veggie and the spinach is honestly to die for. Portion is huge and filling, and for $7.50 a slice it’s the cheapest breakfast “sandwich” you’re gonna find in the neighborhood.

There are some tables inside if you want to sit but it’s more of a take out type of place I would say. No frills, not the best ambiance, but the food speaks for itself! So so good. Be advised it’s cash only!“

“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.“

“amazing pizza and amazing service 100% reccomend this place
