Amazing, amazing, amazing! Some of the best pizza on the island, and hot heroes second to none.

If you are sleeping on their lunch specials, you're missing out. The only thing better than their Heroes are getting their Heroes at 2 for $25 and enjoying it with a co-worker

Was invited for an event, however the moment you walk in you feel the hometown welcoming vibe like you belong, not usual for Staten Island. They offer sangria which was good but the food was just knocked it out the park sooooo delicious. 🤤 I wasn’t even hungry but my friends decided to order so I figured I’d also order and I’m so glad I did. Everything tasted fresh and made with tons of love. I got the artichoke pie and added chicken on it, that was just the perfect crunch with a savory taste (so good I forgot a picture 😣)
My friends decided on the Alfredo (which let me tell you is usually not good at pizzerias) but it had this freshness to it I had to try another big bite from her. My other friend got a burrata dish and it too was tasty. I can’t wait to come back for more deliciousness! The staff and owner were lovely ā˜ŗļø, let us taste a coffee drink she’s offering. I can’t wait to bring my son, see you there. šŸ’›šŸ’›

I had a birthday party for my daughter here. In all we were about 20 guests. Kim and husband created a special menu for the occasion. It was absolutely amazing! Everyone raved about how delicious everything was. We had cold antipasto, rice balls, eggplant rollatini, calamari, chicken wings and pizza. There was so much food! I highly recommend Ungaro for any occasion or just dinner which is how I came about going there in the first place. Thank you again for a wonderful, memorable occasion!

Ungaro Pizza is hands down one of our favorite spots! From the moment we walk in, we’re always treated like part of the family, which makes dining here so special. The coal-fired pizza is absolutely fantastic crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every dish we’ve tried is delicious, from appetizers to desserts, and it’s clear that the kitchen takes pride in every plate. My kids love the calamari!

The service is equally impressive our waitress is always attentive, and always friendly, especially with the kids. Kim goes above and beyond to make our little ones feel welcome, which makes the experience stress-free and enjoyable for the whole family.

Whether you’re coming for a casual family dinner or a night out with friends, Ungaro Pizza delivers amazing food, warm hospitality, and a welcoming atmosphere every single time. We can’t recommend it enough!

Ungaro’s is one of my absolute favorites. Their ā€œMeat Me at the Cornerā€ is the perfect way to sample a variety of their incredible pizzas — every slice is top-notch. The calamari is outstanding, crisp and flavorful. But the real showstopper? The Nutella pizza. Absolutely mind-blowing!

Kim and Dom make every visit special — they’re the best, no other way to say it. I always leave satisfied and looking forward to the next time. Ungaro’s never disappoints.

The margherita is the best pizza I've had in years. Frozen espresso drink was a unique but pricey treat. Lovely owners and staff.

My Husband and I, love coming here to eat. Everyone is so polite and welcoming. The ambiance is so relaxing even down to the music. And the best is the FOOD! We love that its small but it hits the spot. Definitely a great place for a Saturday evening date night. We highly recommend Cafe Ungaro...

We discovered this place about 2 years ago on our way back from JFK to Philly. Now, every time we are making a trip out of JFK, we make an effort to stop by. Such a great mom & pop restaurant with the best gluten free pizza that we’ve had anywhere. The services is awesome and the food is top notch. Will be back soon.

I usually order pizza - which I ABSOLUTELY LOVE! ā€œPepperoni Sicilian with Hot Honey & Fresh Basil!ā€ - Crust is crisp but soft - like focaccia. The cheese pull still on point even after delivery. But my BF & I decided to dine in on date night and we were so happy we did, we brought the kids for family dinner and my sister for her 21 Bday all in the same month.

Courteous & Attentive staff.
Cute & comfortable but stylish little spot - it’s like a ā€œIYKYKā€
Mexican coke! Always a +++

Highly recommend for a ā€œcalm and vibey & literally THE BEST PIZZA on the islandā€kind of outing!

If you can’t make it - you should order.

Haven’t wasted time eating pizza anywhere else since I found Ungaro.

The crust...chewy and a bit of char. That coal adds flavor.
