“Stopped by last night and had a great experience. We made a reservation via Resy and were seated right away. We loved the ambiance. It gave such an intimate, close knit setting. The music is so cool and trendy - goes along well with the vibe. The menu is straight to the point with amazing options. We ordered the Caesar salad, VCR pizza, espresso pot de creme dessert and a cocktail. First of all, my cocktail (Night Rally) is soooo delish!! The Caesar salad is an extreme 10/10. I absolutely loved it! The VCR pizza… another 10/10! The sauce and pepperoni and a bit spicy for those who are sensitive to spice. Nonetheless it was phenomenal. The dessert was such a pleasant, light surprise! I asked if they have an affogato and the substitute was such a relief! We loved it. Just one downside with one of the employees there - she wasn’t too friendly. Good thing she wasn’t our server. Either way, I absolutely would return in a heartbeat!!“
“Gorgeous space, food was amazing. Would definitely come back to try more items off the menu. This time, I had the opportunity to try the hot mess with prosciutto on top. It was delicious. Went at an odd time between 2-3 so place was very quiet. However, it you can do not miss out if you are in the area and try this place out.“
“I went with my family to celebrate my 32nd birthday. The food was 10/10 andres, our waiter was super kind to us. The appetizers were super delicious. When the main course arrived, Andrés recommended that we combine my steak with a wine that was spectacular. I would definitely go back to this restaurant again and again.“
“Went there with my friend today. Hands down, best pizza I have had in Astoria. Order Marinara sauce on the side, trust me. Service was as good as the pizza, ladies inside were really nice. Highly recommend this place if you are a pizza lover like I am. I’ll be back for sure!“
“Pizza was good sauce was also good. The place is small and outdated for the prices. Almost to the point I wanted to skip pizza shop but friends insisted and they did not disappoint. Just wish the outside matched the food so it feels like the prices are worth it.Parking: Lucky if you can“
“A nearly perfect combination of ambiance and food. Got there at 7pm on a Saturday night and was able to snag a table for two. Ordered the ricotta, honey, and pepperoni pizza. It was close the best pizza of its kind I have ever had. Generous selection of wines and smart cocktails. Pastas are also very good. Reasonably priced. Just an overall well executed restaurant.“
“stumbled upon this on a weekend drive out into depths of queens in the early afternoon food was great and savory hand made pasta and alcohol drinks were exceptional citrusy and flavorsome. An overall very well catered place with great food and ambience. great palce for a first date or a couple driving on the weekend.“
“This and Pizza Sam's the last good pizza places in jackson heights. Pizza Sam is overpriced. This place is a bit overpriced but it's not to bad, they gotta compensate for inflation so i get it. The guy at the counter is great. If u guys read this I got a question. U deliver 10 blocks up to 93rd street? Between roosevelt and elmhurst ave?Thanks“
“The service was immaculate. Ana did a fantastic job at giving us a great experience. It was our first time here and she was attentive, kind, and fun! At the end she let us spin the wheel to win a prize and I got a free soda, but I was a little bummed because I wanted to win a free shot, but she gave me it anyways! Not just the service, but the food was actually really good. It is a lowkey place, but with great food with great portions for a fair price. The drinks were definitely potent as well. We ordered the arepas for 2 that came with nachos, colombian hot dog, premium steak fries that came with a fire show, sangria, and a modelo. Everything was so filling that I had to take most of the food to go. I would recommend this place to everyone!!“
“Such an amazing environment with great vegan food. I haven't had much vegan food but, if it tastes as amazing as the Warrior Sandwich I just had here! Definitely one of the best sandwiches I've had in my life. I'm on board. Phenomenal food, great atmosphere, live music and DJs! This place is indeed special! I will be back here.“
“The Margherita pizza is made with whole diced tomatoes, it's very refreshing and not greasy at all. The pepperoni is generously portioned, and as an end to the day, I feel very satisfied. I'm glad to have such a great pizza place in Astoria.“
“This is a halal Algerian spot with very authentic food. They have sandwiches and platters and some flavorful side dishes. I had the merguez sandwich and chicken sandwich, and a couple side dishes. The Merguez was amazing, very delicious sausage type dish in a hero roll with fries inside. There's not a lot of seating space so it's a great takeout spot.“
“Hidden gem ?Traditional Italian restaurant, loved the authentic experience here.?The atmosphere definitely reminded me of being in Italy, especially the owner who made everything from scratch. It was an amazing experience.?make your way here if you truly want an Italian experience, with no rush, sitting, and socializing... and the food will come when it comes.?the service was on the slow side because it was a full house, so it was understandable.?My favorite was the Buffalo, basil, cherry pizza. It was delicious.?the nutella pizza with strawberries was perfect for dessert & sharing.Vegetarian options: Options available.Dietary restrictions: Options availableParking: Metered parking until 7pmKid-friendliness: High chairs available. Kids menu available. Crayons and paper for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Indoor and outside seating available.“
“Hubby saw Philomena on Social Media and decide to try it since it’s not that far in our neighboring town.Typical pizza joint decor with some seatings inside but they served up some good crispy crust pizza!We came in on a Friday evening and the place was packed. We got the Margherita, Jersey Shore and Dragon Breath by slice. You can also get the pizza in small personal pie as well.The pizzas were tasty plus we are always fans of crispy crust pizza. Their thick slice (dough) was kind of fluffy and not too heavy and dense which we like a lot.“
“Good food, fast, dining room kinda small and sometimes the staff stores supplies or works of one or two of the few tables available for customers. Also wish they had soda options from a dispenser instead of just cans. But none of that will prevent us from going back.“
“I've lived in NYC for over ten years and this is the best tasting pizza I've found so far. The pizza man there, Ciro makes delicious pizza every time, and, speaking from personal experience, he makes it the way it should be made. Handsome guy too. I recommend you go visit.“
“Food was very delicious and would reccomend. I ate a pepperoni pizza with basil and the Caesar salad, and I have also heard the calamari is very good although I did not get it. The service was normally good, although we did have to wait for water refills for a sizable amount of time. The atmosphere was very loud and since I have hearing aids, the seating was not very friendly but the food and service more than enough to make my review go back to 5 stars.“

“As a Queens local, I think the thing that impressed me the most was the variety of fresh ingredients at a reasonable cost. Their cocktails are amazing. We ordered a tuna tartar special, salad, gorgonzola gnocchi, and their famous pressed veal parmagiana. 2 drinks for each of us and a slice of their pistachio tiramisu. We were so impressed by the staff, asking our names, our allergies, etc. Our waitress Isabella was so warm and helpful with any questions we had. We truly truly were so impressed. We can't wait to return. This place is a must try.Vegetarian options: They would be able to accommodateDietary restrictions: They asked ahead of time for any allergies.Parking: Compliment valet. Appears we showed up before the rush and parked on the street at the meter.Kid-friendliness: Children were dining at other tables. Staff brought over booster seats as necessary.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp to enter. They would be happy to accommodate anyone I'm sure.“
“Great happy hour, beautiful decor, yummy small plates, friendly service. If ONLY they didn’t pump this musky woody cologne scent into the air. I still smell it in my hair from last night and I can’t escape it. Would have given five stars if not for the smell.“
“This is the best pizzeria that I have been to all my life, good guys, they taught me what their name is, how to pronounce Kerry, they taught this word and it’s interesting, good dishes, the atmosphere is very good, very good, I recommend it to “
“Since I was a kid I’d get a slice here. Due to unfortunate events in my life I had to switch up my diet so I had to stop eating here. Can you believe I had to settle for boxed pizza?! Had my first fresh slice in years today. I felt like crying a whole ocean. When I tell you the vegan slice reminds me of the regular New York slice, I am not lying to you. Can’t wait to try all their vegan options next time. ❤️“
“The owners is a great guy, very friendly and social makes me wanna sit in or even come back, this pizza was amazing I got a vodka Square slice and I put hot honey on it, it was amazing. I gotta come back for. Not only that slice but I gotta try to the other ones.“
“I love going to this place because the worker are so welcoming and kind, I got free food and I was shown kindness. The food here is also delicious, and I can't thank the worker for giving me a slice when they were already closing. Such great ambiance too.“
“Although it's cash only and on the pricey side, it is worth every penny. Food it delicious, staff remembers you even if you haven't been there for awhile.My wife went in recently, although it was early and they weren't ready to do baked clams, they did it for her.We love their mixed fresh seafood. But their pizza is second to none. Their pizza in our opinion is NY BEST. Any topping you want, they have. You'll eat every bit, not even the crust is left over, in fact you work your way to the crust and that's the finishing point. That leaves you completely satisfied and filled.Love this place!!!I'll update with pictures next visit so you can visualize how delicious their food is.“
“My neighborhood pizzeria and absolute favorite! I love the different options to choose from. I have too many of their different types as a favorite of mine, original, Margherita, chicken tomato, taco slice and many others. Their grandma slice is my mom’s favorite. I grew up getting treat with their eggplant rolls in Thursdays when my mom was a lunch lady at Our Lady of Hope. I used to split it with my best friend. Great food, great memories, still as delicious as ever!Wheelchair accessibility: My dad used to come in here with his mobility scooter. He said the waitresses would help him in and get him setup and he’d go there several times. He found them very kind and helpful.“
“Thank you, for always being there, Brother's Pizzeria. I always stop in when I'm visiting my parents, and enjoy the nostalgia of the place that's been serving the best pizza in the area for over 40 years. This visit, I sat on the same stool I always did when I was a child, and ordered my usual slice with extra cheese. And it was just as I remembered - crispy bottom, holding up the weight of the extra cheese, nice & hot out of the oven - perfection. I also ordered a pie and some beef patties to bring back to California for my family - a new generation of kids who love Brother's. May they continue to do so for 40 more years.“
“There was alcohol, but I went there with teenage kids. Korean idol music videos kept playing on the large TV, and the atmosphere was good.Most of the food was salty, so it was difficult for the kids, but I think it was perfect to go with beer.“
“I was originally going to Sofun noodles around the corner but when I got there they told me nothing could be made gluten free (I have celiac and thought the rice noodles would be ok). So Yelp came to the rescue and I'm so glad I tried this place! The gluten free margherita pizza was possibly the BEST gf pizza I've ever had. Chewy, soft, pillowy crust. I had to ask the server if he was sure it was gf when I saw it. Too bad I don't live around LIC, otherwise, I'd be ordering here all the time!“
“Probably some of the best pizza I’ve had in nyc! Also , excellent service and ambience. They also brought fresh bread and olive oil- a rarity these days in Italian restaurants . So delicious and would love to come back again! Prices a little on the higher side- but the ingredients are super high quality and glass of wine was very generous“
“I had the regular slice, Grandma and Upside Pizza. WOW to all 3. The best one by far was the upside down pizza. The tomato sauce was so fresh. The cheese was amazing. The best part was the crust, it was so soft inside and crispy outside. Phenomenal! Dan L. recommended this spot. Now, I recommend it to all of you. Best pizza in Queens! This is my pizza spot forever!“
“I am a s***** for discoveries. So I cheated a little and saw a TikTok of a guy going into the middle of Corona to buy pizza, what????? The Tiktok was pretty cool, they highlighted this guy who has a wood fired pizza oven on the corner of 111th st and 37th Ave. I thought the pizza looked great so I decided to drive over, the pizza takes a few minutes to make but it was well worth it. The price was super reasonable at $12-$15 a pie depending on the toppings and comes with 6 slices. Overall, I had a great experience but it didn't occur to me that today was raining, so the crust today felt a little under but because it was raining it would totally affect the outcome of the pie. I will be back to make a second visit. He has a google page and his ig is instagram.com/tauro_wfpi…. I would drive and I would also call ahead if you are in a rush. His hours are Tues-Sun 5pm to 11pm.The food:Quattro Stagion Pizza- Tomato sauce, mozzarella, artichoke, mushroom, ham, basil, black olives. I thought this was great, it was also my fav. I really enjoyed the fresh toppings and the addition of the fresh basil made a huge difference. With all their pies their tomato sauce is amazing. yelp.com/user_local_phot…Mexicana- Tomato sauce, mozzarella, spicy sausage, jalapeno, onion and basil. This was really interesting and of course it had some heat. The sausage which I think was chorizo had a good texture and taste. I think they ran out of jalapeno so they used I think serrano chilies instead and even though they sliced it thin, it did have a punch of heat which I enjoyed. yelp.com/user_local_phot…Margeurita- Tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil and olive oil. This was the most simple but two out of the four of us said it was their fav. I did like it but to me it was a bit bare. Overall, it's good for purist. yelp.com/user_local_phot…“
“Looking for great pizza in Astoria?Hidden in the back of this Italian Grocery Store (which has amazing chicken cutlets, fresh mozzarella and sandwiches) you will see why so many people are walking to the back of the store all day long. Thin crust with a delicious sauce makes you crave more!!! #hollyspizzahotspotsofnyc“
“The staff and owners are very professional, welcoming, and seem to enjoy interacting with customers, especially those who are regulars. The pizza is excellent. I tried the Primavera, Vodka, Grandma, and Neopoliton, and all were delicious. Their entrees are good as well. I enjoyed the Eggplant Rolitini. I definitely recommend that you go there.Vegetarian options: Pasta or Pizza Primavera, Eggplant dishes, pasta, salad.“
“If I were to review this restaurant, I'd say it's a slice of Sicilian heaven right in the heart of Astoria. From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in warm, familial vibes. The staff, from the owner to the chef to the waiters, treat you like one of their own, adding a personal touch that's hard to find elsewhere. The atmosphere is simply enchanting, transporting you back to the cozy kitchens of your childhood. Every dish is a masterpiece, crafted with love and tradition, just like Nonna used to make. This isn't just a restaurant; it's a home away from home, a sanctuary of Sicilian flavors and memories. A truly beautiful place that you'll want to return to again and again.“
“Clean location, great pizza options, friendly staff. I thoroughly enjoyed the following slices! Brown Stew oxtail Turkey bacon Chicken black truffle Alfredo Curry oxtail Curry chicken Sweet chili oxtail Jerk chicken You can definetly tell that the toppings are seasoned to perfection!“
“Nestled in the heart of Sunnyside, Sotto de Stella is a modern pizzeria with a small menu of delightful bites. I had the margarita pizza which was light and crispy with fresh ingredients and a wonderful bubbly crust. The eggplant parmigiana was very good. The meatballs were ok. I am still trying to figure out if they were pork or beef. The hazelnut Nutella cake was very nice. I will definitely be back to try the other pizzas and salads. Try it out! You will not be disappointed.“
“I always come to prima pizza and have never had a complaint. The attention and customer service from the staff is above and beyond. Everytime i come in i have the pleasure of being served by Jimmy or Leo. They always know what i want without me having to say a word, know i love my pizza cut up, and that i will definitely be needing a fork. SHOUT OUT TO YOU GUYS FRIENDS ? keep up the great work!!P.S.management, these gentlemen deserve a raise for their phenomenal work ?❤️“
“Ordered the ECB burger and fries for delivery. Excellent, excellent burger. So satisfying and well seasoned. The fries were addictive. 9 out of 10. Would order again when I'm in the area. It's midnight and I just ate the burger and I wish I had another one and more fries because it's that good.“
“I am a regular in this ambient restaurant. Their employees are just great and so friendly. Their food is excellent as well. I tried almost all kind of pizza slices over there. I am lactose intolerant and I never had any issue having their most cheesiest pizza.“
“So my wife and I just ate at Gino's. It's by far the best pizza in our area. I'm here to rebut the review about the guy who thought the pizza was too thin and burnt. I kill for thin and burnt. I understand we all have different tastes, so let's just say the wrong person got that pizza that night. Gino's is great. The sicilian pie is fantastic. His sandwiches on all on point and he uses the best ingredients because it's not always about the profit. Thank you!“
“Been wanting to try this place for a long time and it did not disappoint! Delicious slices, friendly service, and incredible prices. I only wish it were open on weekends!Deep dish is good, NY style margherita is good, you really can’t go wrong here!“
“Been coming here since I was a kid. Even though I no longer live in the area, whenever I visit family, there's no better place to get a Sicilian slice in all of NYC (not just Queens). And the regular thin crust cheese slices are great too!“
“Hidden gem. Not just a pizza joint. They have lots of hidden options like the Korean Chili Chicken or Chicken Teriyaki. I’ve also purchased delicious naan from here as well. All at reasonable prices and very delicious. I wouldn’t necessarily dine in due to the atmosphere but I always visit because of the quality of food. ??“
“Omg it was so good!!! I have been passing by this place for several years now and telling myself “I must stop by” but they close relatively early since Covid so it’s a bit harder to go. I finally went in today and got the meat burek and it was heavenly. We have something similar in Moldova but I honestly like this version better. Will be stopping by to try the cheese and the spinach and cheese ones. The yogurt is excellent too. Good service!“
“First time buying from this pizzeria and it was great. The staff member in the front was super friendly and kind. She was very accommodating. The garlic knots were so good and the mozzarella sticks were hot and fresh. Glad there is a pizzeria in the area!“
“This place is one of kind. My dad, who passed away, 3 years ago studied for his actuarial exams here in the 80s. My family and myself frequently come here for pizza and Israeli food. This place brings back so many fun memories of my childhood. My son loves the pizza here. The falafel tastes great, coating is nice light and flaky, like many other falafel, I’ve eaten. Prices remained reasonable throughout all of these years. Planning on coming here as long as this place is opened.“
“Recently ordered a panini, chocolate brownie, and blueberry cheesecake on Uber Eats. The food was undeniably delicious—I have to commend them on crafting the best panini I've tasted in a while!However, there was a slight hiccup in the order—they delivered 2 brownies instead of one, and unfortunately, the blueberry cheesecake was missing. Considering the cheesecake's higher value compared to the brownie, it was a bit disappointing.Despite this minor disorder, I must say the food quality itself was top-notch. The flavors were fantastic. Taking everything into account, I'm rating my experience at 4 stars. The service slip-up aside, the overall culinary experience was truly enjoyable.Looking forward to another order for that outstanding panini, and maybe a chance to savor the elusive Vegan blueberry cheesecake next time!“
“I love this place usually take out & more delivery than anything else but during the summer I do dine in after the park w my kid & sometimes hubby either way the place never disappoints!Kid-friendliness: Staff is great & never new“
“We booked the room in the back for a bday party. The room fits a party of 20 comfortably. Our server was friendly and worked diligently to meet our requests. We ordered quite a few things from the menu and they came out quickly. All the food was delicious and their portions were good. This was our second time coming here as a group and they did not disappoint me.“
“Came to L'incontro for a casual lunch on a Saturday around 2p. Did not have a reservation and was immediately seated. I gotta say, the service was excellent! Many waiters were serving us and they were constantly checking if we needed something. They were refilling out waters all the time and it was just very polite. What was interesting is the "daily special menu", the waiter was standing their reading about the daily special for like at least 5 mins and we had to stop him from continuing. Either way, we got the bucatini cacio e pepe and it was very yummy. My husband got the veal and it was not the most photogenic dish, but tasted much better than it looked. We also got the octopus, which was soaked in balsamic, also very nice. Overall a very nice traditional Italian place.“
