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.“

“In a city of delicious pizza, this pizza is DELICIOUS. Shared some apps and pies, cleaned our plates. Only regret not leaving room for dessert. Had a res for around 6 on a Saturday, they’re definitely popping around that time. Good atmosphere, not too loud, friendly service.“

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

“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“

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

“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.“

“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!“

Best and fresher lunch at Reagan Airport and on my 34th Wedding Anniversary!👏🏽👏🏽 Steak for Dinner! And I added the soda pop for a deal $14.75. Enjoyed!“

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

“The quintessential pizza parlor. I think the crust is the best around the area. Owner/operator/pizza maker seems to treat everyone like a friend, even new friends. You probably won't find a better slice for the price and quality. Full pie was around $20 - $25, which is rare these days, too.“

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

“Came to this place by chance and I didn't not regret it! The staff is very welcoming and friendly. He gave me a garlic bread to try and took the time to explained the ingredients. I'm touched by Halal King Pizza's hospitality and service. The foods are great and warm (super fresh), 100/10 would recommend this spot for anyone who's looking for a quick and yummy bite!“

“We’ve gone several times, and it is always worth it! Food is great and the service is always above par. The owner, Arthur, is an amazing host and really makes sure everything is to your liking. His brother, the chef, not only makes spectacular food (including fresh bread!) but also the best limoncello. The sauce is made from tomatoes grown and distributed by their family in O
Italy, which aligns with the authenticity and quality of the food. Already counting down to our next visit!“

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

“Went on a Friday afternoon and the restaurant wasn’t too busy. What really stood out was the team’s efficiency and one particular staff member, Kim. Not only was he friendly when taking care of my order, but as my kids and I dined we witnessed him just being awesome and friendly with everyone, having him in the store completely elevated the atmosphere.“

“All the food is quality and very tasty .From the pasta dishes to the chicken ,meatballs, eggplant ,lasagna,shrimp dishes. .Everything is made on premise and homemade.The specialty pizzas and slices at the counter are outstanding. Plus they will make you ant variation of pizza you like even if its not the menu. highly recommend this establishment. Family run and totally respectful and pleasant at the counter.“

“I always have a great experience at NY Spine Care. The staff is welcoming, professional and efficient from the time I arrive. Dr. Han takes the time to listen to my concerns , explains everything clearly and make me feel comfortable throughout my visit. I would highly recommend anyone looking for back pain management to come to this facility.“

“My husband and I have been going to Austin Street Pizza for years. We absolutely love everything about this place! One special thing - we love their rock music playlist. It would be really cool if they can also add Forest Hills rock bands that fit the style, like the band Spread Eagle.“

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

“The Best Pizza and Hero’s!! 👍🏻👍🏻“

Great food and hospitality! Will be back whenever we’re here in New York!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **John's Pizza in Elmhurst, Queens is the REAL DEAL.** If you want authentic New York pizza, stop what you're doing and go here. The crust is thin — and I mean *perfectly* thin, the way it's supposed to be. The sauce is delicious, the cheese is real, and every bite reminds you why NYC pizza is in a class of its own. But what truly blew me away was meeting **Susan**, the owner. Her parents opened this pizzeria back in the **1960s**, and she is still there, carrying on that legacy with so much pride and love. I watched her make my pizza right in front of me — this is a woman who genuinely cares about what she puts out. That kind of dedication is rare. We talked for a while about how much the neighborhood has changed over the years, and she still works hard to keep her prices as low as possible for the community. That says everything about who she is. Susan, you are a gem. Queens is lucky to have you. 🍕 I'm already planning my next visit — every time I'm in the area, I'm stopping by. Highest recommendation possible. Don't sleep on John's Pizza!“

“Went here on advice from a co worker. Had their classic Grandma slice and a Margarita slice. The grandma has a crunchy thin crust and a lot of very flavorful sauce. I enjoyed it after taking some sauce off to give it more balance. The margarita was good with a thicker crust that had a slightly sweet taste to it. I enjoyed both slices. Good neighborhood pizza.“

“Absofreakinlutely! Eh yo fuhgeddaboudit!“

“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!“

“Delicious Vietnamese food! Have had several different items here and keep coming back. The broth of the pho is so silky and delicious. I have only done takeout so far but the waitstaff has always been incredibly friendly at each visit, and there’s always lots of customers. Highly recommend!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious food! The nicest people work there with smiling faces! such a pleasure ❤️🤘🏽🍕 stopped in for lunch after driving from NH all morning 😙👌🏽 totally worth the drive!“
