I am a 62 year old NYer and have been eating pizza since I had teeth. Regularly. To put it mildly I'm a pizza snob. Admittedly, I can eat any local joint's slice, but never with pure pleasure and abandon. But now it's all changed. The pizza at Americano is without question the best pizza I've had anywhere in The States, much less Long Island. It is truly the best foodie-find of the past six years for me (the last was a place in the city that unfortunately is now gone as a result of the pandemic mom&pop restaurant assassination). To be fair I ordered two of their simpler slices- I'm not one for all the nouveau pizza topping additions. The regular square and the white square are MAGNIFICENT. Crunchy bottom, soft interior, great char with just enough sauce and cheese to not cause an overload. The sourdough base is sublime. It really shouldn't be masked and it truly shines. My only dilemma now is living so nearby. I see too much Americano in my future. read more

A few friends told me about the sourdough pizza and I knew I had to try it when I was in the area. I went in around 430ish. It wasn't crowded at all. After a quick overview of the menu I decided on the fig and pig and the bee sting slice. The fig and pig was tasty! Think of a charcuterie slice...cheese, meat and fig jam. I enjoyed the sweet and salty balance. The bee sting was great! Cheese, pepperoni, hot honey and ricotta. I loved the dollops of ricotta! It paired well with all the other flavors on the slice. The sourdough really does make a difference and I'm a fan! There are a few tables inside as well as outside. Slices are about $5.50 each which isn't bad at all and I feel it's worth it. I will definitely return. read more

Visited today, placed my order with an unpleasant young man and was told it will be about 8 minutes. After sitting and waiting for 15 minutes, I went back to the young, unpleasant man and asked him for an update. It turns out, my order was never put in. So not only was he unpleasant, he was also inattentive. After several insincere apologies, I just asked for my money back. Here is the kicker- he calls the OWNER for approval, and the OWNER does not even attempt to understand, apologize or make it right. He doesnt say a word to me. The only person who tried to make it right was a sweet young lady behind the counter. She is more personable, self-aware and accountable than the OWNER. Its a shame because they have good pizza, but maybe they dont need the business. I will take my money to Dough and Co. The OWNER there actually cares about customers. PS- Business is good until its not. Learn to cherish your biggest asset- your customer. read more

Have been wanting to check out this pizza spot for a few months now and finally had the chance to! They offer sourdough pizza and have many flavor options so there is something for every taste. My boyfriend and I shared a regular slice, Sicilian slice, and vodka slice. The Sicilian is some of the best I've ever had, but the regular ended up being my favorite. Will definitely be back! read more

Thank you for ruining other pizza places for me! I will only be ordering from here moving forward. Sourdough pizza. Unbelievable! The fig and pig. A ying-yang of salty prosciutto baked to a crispy perfection against the sweetness of fig jelly on a paper thin, perfectly airy crust. Devine. The lightness of the dough makes it feel guilt free while the flavors grip your taste buds and take them on an epic roller coaster. The bee sting. Pepperoni cups baked to perfection, topped with hot honey on the same airy dough spotted with burrata cheese. A smooth sail through the seas of spicy and sweet. Each element balancing the other while exciting the tastebuds. How can something so light be so filling? Be warned, you want be hungry but you will be left with the yearning for more deliciousness once this culinary experience is over. Hats off to the chefs. They are in a small spot in the little shopping strip. Hard to miss but regardless of where you are coming from, well worth the journey. Staff are of course very friendly and pizza ordered online was done before the expected time read more

Americano Pizza Shop - Half fig & pig half bee sting - Pizza Near Me - Syosset, New York

OMG, the Shoom pizza was a game changer! In Syosset no less, why can't these pizzaiolos start somewhere closer to my home in Stony Brook? What intrigued me about Americano Pizza Shop is a Long Island success story. The owner started with a pizza truck and parlayed that success into a brick-and-mortar location. What makes the pizza interesting is the use of sourdough. Me personally? I never had it before in pizza dough. Americano Pizza Shop is taking on some crazy twists with their pizza. I have been to similar NYC spots like Mama's Too which offers a spin on the classics. Same concept, except it's on Long Island with no 90 minute wait. I walk into the pizza place and see there's a light lunch crowd. Lots of choices I see on the large menu board. I'm going with the Bee Sting and Shoom Pizza. These combinations are nothing like I grew up with as a kid. I worked in Mamma Lombardi's after school, the most outrageous pizza they made in the 80s was meatball. The Shoom pizza has fresh mutz, mushrooms and a drizzle of truffle oil. Now add the sourdough crust and it becomes a complex pizza with an explosion of different flavors. The tangy sourdough mixed with the taste of truffle and freshly cut mushrooms? Holy moley, a complete game-changer. The same with the Bee Sting. The first time I had this combination was at Roberta's in Brooklyn. Hot Honey on pepperoni pizza? Sounds weird, but hot honey on pizza? If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be right. Again I have to mention, the addition of sourdough crust? It's something unique that I never had before on pizza. I'm sure in San Francisco they're like, welcome to the party New York. This was a really good pizza, I'm glad I experienced it. Americano Pizza Shop, it was my pleasure to dine at your establishment and try your unique pizza. read more

After going to Dario's, I decided to drive up to Syosset to hit up a brand new pizzeria from the man behind the Americano Pizza Truck. The fact that the pizza is made with sourdough is something that excited me as it is very digestible and easy on the stomach. I had a white slice and the Shrooms slice. The dough had a nice tang that comes with the sourdough flour. After eating both slices, didn't feel heavy, showing that this pizza is well fermented and made so good. The service was fast and I had my slices within a few minutes and the restaurant is small, but perfect for what they are going for and love the vibes. This is definitely worth a visit and if you love sourdough pizza, you can't go wrong with Americano. read more

Americano Pizza Shop - White slice and the Shrooms slice - Pizza Near Me - Syosset, New York

Heard a lot about this place on Facebook so decided to give it a try. There are two parking lots one on each side of the strip, which made parking easy. Small place with a few tables, definitely feels more like a takeout place. The slices are thin and crispy, which I like. The ones I chose were good but felt like they were missing a bit of flavor. I'll be back to try some other slice options. read more

Cute pizza place serving sourdough pizza. The crust is light and crispy with a slight chew and hint of tanginess. It's great that you can order by the slice so we got to try a variety of slices. My daughter loved the pesto slice and hubby loved the pepperoni with hot honey slice (bee sting) and the sausage slice. The mushroom s slice was pretty good too. They also have a few outdoor tables on the sidewalk to enjoy your pizza on nice warm weather days. We took ours to go and warmed it up in our toaster oven. read more

Tasty bread, overall way too salty for us. Very light on the cheese, with an exaggerated wide cheeseless void around the crust. So it's expensive sourdough bread with some seasoning/flavor/toppings. While it might be new and exciting for some, it's not a top 5 contender. read more

If you're anywhere near Syosset, do yourself a favor and stop into Americano Pizza Shop. From Pizza Truck to Pizza Shop, Vin and his village have been serving up delicious, healthy sourdough pizza at catered parties, family gatherings, and neighborhood events for 2 years--and now they've brought that same love and quality to their beautiful new brick-and-mortar. Walking in felt special. There's an amazing picture wall honoring Vin's humble beginnings, his family and friends, and even celebrities he's met along the way. It's a reminder that this place was built on passion and community. And Vin himself? He's the living embodiment of "practice makes improvement!" Just about two years ago he said, "I couldn't make a round pizza pie." Look at him now! I stopped in to show my support and grabbed a margarita slice while waiting for my pie to be made--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. I took home two regular slices plus a pie: half Bee Sting and half Sausage. Let's talk favorites: Bee Sting (my personal go-to): Tomato sauce, shredded mozzarella, ricotta, cup & crisp pepperoni, and hot honey. The Bee Dolce hot honey is top-notch--sweet with the perfect kick. Make sure you ask for extra to take home for that added sting! Sausage (my sister Angela's pick): Classic cheese topped with sliced sausage--simple and done right. Regular slice with light sauce for our mini-me Kennedy--proof they'll make it just how you like it. The sourdough crust is a game changer. It's light, satisfying, and didn't upset my stomach like other pizzas sometimes do. I demolished three slices myself--which is rare--and didn't feel weighed down. Vin and his wonderful crew greet everyone with a welcoming smile, and you can truly taste the heart behind every pie. Stop in, support local, and say hello to Vin. You'll leave happy--and probably carrying extra hot honey home with you. read more

I visited for the first time during their soft opening. I ordered a regular slice, a sausage and white slice. I enjoyed all of them and thought that they were cooked the perfect amount. The employees were friendly and provided fast service. They have a few tables inside along with bar seating along the window. There's also a parking lot to the left side. I highly recommend checking out this new local business. So excited to have them in the neighborhood. read more

Not only is this guy living my dream, but he nailed it. Pizza is great. It's perfected. Hard pressed to find someone who's creative and really knows what he's doing. Sourdough is a pain in the ass and he's really got it down. Besides that the staff is awesome. A dude with glasses and the owner helped me out. Super friendly and helpful. Came in with my kids, one is 7 months and while I was stressing out, the owner hooked me up with some water for my 3 year old on the way out. If I didn't live out in Wantagh I'd be back again and again. Wish these guys all the luck in the world. Though I dont know if the need it. read more

Gave 5 stars in the beginning, place is gone way down the guy puts almost no cheese on the pies now, I say he goes under from here people are talking no one likes creepy cheap, he cracks you for a pie and that's fine , but not when he's putting half the cheese on it , it happened last 3 times we went we gave him the benefit of doubt the first 2 times, 3 strikes your out, and all our friends say the same , so I'm willing to bet a for rent sign is up within 18 months at best. read more

Awesome, tasty, chewy flavorful pizza is how I would describe the pizzas here. We tried a slice of broccoli burrata and margarita. They are thin crust pizzas. It would have been much better if the slices were bigger for the prices though. read more

Best pizza I've had in New York (even better than my favorite places in Manhattan). I was worried about it being sourdough at first, but now I want nothing else. The dough, sauce, and cheese created the perfect flavor and texture. This stuff was manna from heaven. I was already full when I got there, so I only got one slice. I couldn't stop myself from getting seconds (I regret not getting thirds). Even weeks later, my stomach yearns for more. read more

Delicious pizza in a cozy place that also has a nice outdoor area to eat! We've tried many of the different slices and they've all been unique and delicious! I really loved the bee sting. My kids never finish two slices of pizza unless it's from Americano! So happy this place opened so close! read more

This place was so good. I ordered regular cheese, and pepperoni and sausage. Probably the best pizza I've ever had. After I ate my two slices, I had to go back to get a third. Would strongly recommend read more

Went again (3rd time) Had the mushroom truffle.....great flavor. This has to be the best pizza in the area. Vinnie is going to need a bigger place. read more

New small pizza spot in Syosset. Ok to eat a quick bite, definitely not a sit down spot. The spot was packed so it was a little rushed and hard to communicate with people serving. Now to the food: short menu, very thin and light slices. Flavor is good. HOWEVER, I took the slices to go and they are so thin that they are terrible after reheating. When we opened them at home most of them were carbonized and ended up in the trash. I am giving 3 stars hoping to try a fresh pie that I can eat immediately as I think that could be good, but don't go for slices. read more

Went there because of their pizza truck, I thought that they lost a little quality since moving into the storefront. I would say it's not as good as it was but you should give it a shot and see how you like it. I am not local but if I'm in the neighborhood I might stop by, I have recommended to my chiropractor who is right around the corner and they love it. read more

to dry and no cheese more like cardboard i saw many excellent reviews so i tried it! read more

Wow! What an amazing slice!!! Must try brand new. Top spot in Nassau for sure. I put it up against tagliatelle and Dario's.

Pizza was amazing. Especially enjoyed the sour dough crust they used. Looking forward to trying other things on their menu.
