“Wife and I flew into JFK late one Friday. We were famished , it was 1030 by the time we got to Arthur Ave.. We parked and walked , came upon people eating alfresco. We asked if any place was still serving. The "MAN" Vic asked what we would like, from one of the tables. In no time we had a bottle of Vino Tinto in front of us and people were making us try food they were dining on. I felt like I was at my friends ,' THE PIAZZAS " house. The food was excellent and the people better. Can not wait to go back !“

The Frutta di mare seafood pasta was perfect fresh fish, al dente pasta & the red sauce, soooo delicious. The wife's chicken fettuccine Alfredo was very tasty made with fresh cream & perfectly grilled chicken. Our waiter & the staff were very accommodating, he blessed us with complimentary deserts that tasted like they came from the finest bakery. Will definitely be visiting again & next time with friends/family & a big appetite ? P.S. drinks were tasty too.“

“Just tried the sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on a ciabatta roll and it was perfect!“

“Nice set up here with both indoor and outdoor seating. They have a pizza oven in the back that is slanging some good stuff out. The pizza michaelango was pretty good. It had albanian sausage on it. It was a little oily for my liking but still good. The regular pizza was also good. They do a nice job with the crust here. The burrata to start was just ok so would probably just stick with pizza next time.“

“Loved it great outdoor patio and waiter George was very kind and explained all the dishes overall very good and lovely experience“

“All across, the board a good meal. A hidden gem, they have a bbq pizza that’s really a treat. Their other slices are really appetizing as well. Just had a ranch chicken bake slice that really hit. Genuinely good people, and honest service.“

“I Love to shop at the independent vendors of this retail market. All of the vendors offer exceptional quality products & great customer service.“

“large selection..great tasting food..very clean..attentive staff.“

“I tried the plain pizza and the garlic knots. They were amazing. The pizza comes in very large sizes, which is super fun. My friend got the margarita pizza with tomato slices, she said it was good too. The people that took our order is so kind; best service. In the store, there are tables to sit on and there's a TV playing. It's not a cozy atmosphere but it works nonetheless.“

“My home back in the day. Dominic makes the best cappuccino I ever had.“

“Great atmosphere - lots of fun and a bustling fast paced kitchen - attentive staff. Great for large events“

“Great service and their dishes have authentic Italian flavors that make them irresistible“

“Once inside, I find myself tasting all the treats in this veritable abbondanza of pastries, cookies, cakes and, of course, Teresa’s special Italian Ices. I’m especially partial to the Lilly with Nuts. It a uniquely New York flavor that Teresa captures so well. Although I’m not from the neighborhood, it certainly worth the trip. During one visit, I was fortunately confronted by a warm tray of freshly baked miniature sfogliatella sitting in parchment paper. I can still relish the experience. Whether it’s ices or baked goods, one is never overwhelmed by the note of sweetness, it rather the distinct flavor of the treat that shines through. You can’t go wrong here.“

“Love their Pizza . Always hot and fresh. Great Hero's and very tasty. Plates are excellent. Baked Ziti with Sausage a must try. Calzone oozes with cheese. Hero's come in 2 sizes. Nice Pizza place with free delivery ?. And they are on time. Order today. You won't be disappointed Full menu with Appetizers. Take a look.“

“Had homemade lasagna there yesterday and it was amazing the service was awesome I recommend this place with 5 Stars It's awesome“

“Joe is man of his words. And forget about the pizza!!! Best pizza in town. He's truly amazing at his craft. Can't recommend him enough. The whole team in there it's amazing. I love supporting local business also, and here you won't regret.
Thanks amazing soul.“

“the food, the service, old music“

“They food is fresh and delicious Great costumer service“

“This local gem offer an incredible vegan option! Their vegan cheese pizza blew my mind. Classic NYC pizza taste but with a vegan twist. It's close to my house too. Fantastic service. The servers are friendly both on the phone and in person. My questions were answered and my pizza was ready on time. When I got home, it was still hot and delicious. A pie worth every penny!!!

Vegetarian options: They offer pizzas, breads, and salads.

Dietary restrictions: They offer a vegan cheese pizza pie.

Kid-friendliness: Family friendly atmosphere.“

“Ordered the spaghetti & meatballs lunch special with capellini pasta and extra sauce with a glass of ice water. The two meatballs were served sliced on both sides of a serving of al dente capellini. A generous portion of extra sauce was served in a separate bowl. Freshly shaved Parmesan cheese was presented in a stainless lidded container. The meatball slices were generous and soft and flavorful. The marinara sauce was thick and flavorful. It was a simple lunch but flavorful and filling. In the past I have enjoyed the exceptional chicken parmigiana, now one of the cheaper entrees on the main menu, and the tasty sausage and peppers. (These are offered with either pasta or salad.) I have never had their pizza which is one of their main items. Salvatore’s of SoHo is a destination Italian restaurant on Riverdale Avenue on the Bx7 bus route well worth the cost.“

“We just ate there for the first time. My family love pizza. They exceeded our hopes. The cheese stretched so far it was amazing.“

“Great place with good and cheap food and drink.Try Karaoke 🎤 on Friday where you can sing what you want. The DJ is good people he delayed his break so I could sing.“
