We had a very disappointing experience on Mother's Day. We were only allowed to order from a…read morespecific menu, which had no pizza or sandwiches. You'd think with a smaller menu, the food would come out quicker, but we had the exact opposite experience. We got our apps 20 minutes after ordering, and then we got our mains 1 hour after that. Then we got our deserts 30 minutes after that. For our 1:15pm reservation, we didn't end up leaving until 4pm. They were pretty busy, but there were a few empty tables by the time we sat down. I was also expecting service to be quicker since the menu was leaner. Also, one of the staffs kept coughing in his hands before handing the food to the guests - so that was pretty off putting. Only reason why I'm giving the restaurant any stars is because of the food. The plates came out hot and everything was delicious and they were very generous with the amount of food. Maybe I just have to stick with ordering takeout from them.

He remembers people's orders and is flawless with his service skills. I've met Teresa today Umbertos daughter who is such an amazing person. Her warmth and Excellent vibes shine through.

I've never had a bad experience here and will continue to very supportive to this Umbertos.

Saturday reservation for 4:30pm, early dinner to beat the crowd. Given menus and water. I asked…read moreSabrina the waitress for lemon for my water. A waiter comes to then take our order, but we're not ready. He came a few times, but we were talking/catching up on life. Fifteen minutes goes by and Sabrina the waitress returns to our table and says, "I didn't forget about the lemons and off she went. Sabrina comes back at least five minutes later with the lemons. My friend wanted separate checks, so I specifically asked Sabrina for that, I also asked for a specific dressing on the side and MOST IMPORTANTLY, because my friend was just having two slices of pizza, I asked that she bring our food out at the SAME TIME, so we can eat together. At 5:26 my friend is served his two slices from the girl that works at the pizza counter, I asked her where my food was and she said it'll be coming out. Being when you order slices, someone from the counter serves it in the dining area, I already knew Sabrina never said to the counter people to not serve the pizza until the entree is being served. I decided to time how long it would take to get my entree because my friend did not want his pizza to get cold and he said I hope you don't mind, but I'm eating my pizza. What was I going to say, so I said go ahead. If the reverse happened, I of course would have told them prior to my even touching the plate, to take the pizza back and bring me two new slices when my friends entree is served. Everyone is different and my friend certainly is. By the time I got my phone out and put the timer on, approximately 1-1/2 minutes had passed, attached is a picture of how many minutes it took to get my entree, add 1-1/2 minutes to that which means I waited 14-1/2 minutes to get my entree. Another picture attached is how much pizza my friend had left of the second slice he was eating. The salad picture is with the dressing I didn't want, which a runner brought to the table and walked away. I had to wait for Sabrina to pass by and ask her if that was the right dressing because it didn't look like it. She said it was the wrong dressing, so I had to wait for her to bring the dressing I had specifically asked for. How does the story end you ask, well of course she brought one check, not separated as I specifically asked before she even took our order. She then went away and came back with two checks. Chicken Marsala was okay, not good, just okay. I will never step foot in this establishment again.

I have finally made my way to King Umberto's after all this time. This is part of the trifecta that…read morebrought the grandma pizza to the masses, that being Umberto's, King Umberto's, and Da Angelo's. And with this visit, I have visited all three. With that out of the way, let's get to what I got at this pizzeria. Since I had just come from Dario's, I decided that one slice would be good to get a feel of what KU offers. First off, the ambiance and look of the pizzeria is my favorite of the trifecta and the customer service is fantastic. I got the white slice and on the whole, it was heated to perfection, had a wonderful balance of mozzarella, ricotta and basil. Anywho, the taste of the slice was fantastic and I think this outclasses Umberto's and Da Angelo's white pies by a long shot. The display case had a great selection of wonderfully made pizza and other items for takeout. If you come here, you need to try their grandma pie as that it's claim to fame (I wish I could have it, but damn gastritis! ) I met Giovanni, one of the owners and he was friendly and loves having conversations with his customers and hope to meet him again. This has easily become one of my top favorite pizzerias on Long Island and will make the trek again, this time with my family in tow. Cheers!

And when it came, it was the wrong pizza. Asking for Water was like standing in line for free food, getting passed over several times. Everyone's pizza came out at different times and pies were getting cold. There was a portable heater at one end which didn't help keep us warm. The pizza crust tasted almost like frozen pizza. Fountain sodas were $3.31 with no refills. This a major disappointment. Btw, its brick oven pizza not wood fired like one of us thought and that's why we came. Plus the toppings were unevenly distributed. So some slices were missing some toppings.

**Toskana Pizzeria -- grandma pie excellence, plus legit Neapolitan and Sicilian**…read more Toskana Pizzeria is one of the few neighborhood spots that can pull off *multiple* pizza styles without any of them feeling like an afterthought. If you're the type who actually notices crust structure, bake quality, and balance--not just "is there cheese on it?"--this place earns the five stars. **Grandma pie (the headline act):** This is the standard. The crust has real integrity--crisp edges, that satisfying caramelized corner bite, and a base that stays structured instead of collapsing into a soggy regret. The sauce tastes clean and well-seasoned (not overly sweet), and the cheese-to-sauce ratio is dialed in so each layer is doing its job. **Thin-crust Neapolitan:** Excellent bake and flavor. You get that lighter, more delicate feel with a proper chew, and the toppings don't overwhelm the dough. It's the kind of pizza that tastes "simple" in the good way--because the fundamentals are right. **Sicilian:** A lot of places treat Sicilian like a dense bread block with toppings. Not here. Their Sicilian is actually well-made--airy enough to enjoy, sturdy enough to satisfy, and baked so it has texture instead of being a soft slab. The common thread is consistency: everything feels deliberate, properly baked, and balanced. If you live in the area and you're not ordering from Toskana, you're basically choosing to make your life harder for no reason. Five stars.

Toskana is really close by and after seeing Dave Portnoy's review, I decided to check it out…read more Plain slice: Really solid. Nice cheese pull, good balance of sauce, and probably my favorite of the bunch. It held up well, not floppy at all, with a slight crisp on the bottom. BIG FAN! Chicken broccoli: Just OK. I've had better. The chicken was slightly burnt, which was disappointing. Grandma spinach & artichoke: Pretty good overall. It's similar in style to Artichoke Basille's Pizza, but not as rich or creamy. Margherita: Underwhelming. Nothing really stood out and I've definitely had better elsewhere. That said, I'd still go back just for the plain slice. You really can't go wrong with it. It's a thumbs up for me!

Just by these ingredients I knew 100% that this would tingle my taste buds. First off I noticed the sweetness which was the hot honey not too strong and not too weak a taste just right. The Crispy Pepperoni was awesome and was one of my favorite experiences eating this slice. I've always loved Pesto and this taste also didn't disappoint. The crunchy Pinsa dough is always a big plus I don't know how Vito comes up with such delicious and amazing combinations but he does. With the sweet honey crunchy pepperoni and crunchy Pinsa This Pinsa Trio originated from the man himself Vito is now my All time favorite creation.

Plus, they're a lifesaver for those last-minute orders after kids' sports practices. Always open, always reliable, always delicious.

What a waste of time and the system they have going there is questionable. Worked in a pizzeria all…read moremy childhood, never seen such nonsense..... I walked in, immediately was waived to the counter to order 2 slices. I paid....then I waited. The worker didn't do anything, didn't even take the slices from the pies i asked for on the counter, they never moved off the tray. I waited and waited.. people came in ordered, there was an older couple next to me experiencing the same issue for 1 single slice.... It took about 20 minutes and back and forth with the staff, who blamed it on being busy with orders, but paying absolutely zero regard to walk ins ordering a "quick slice of pizza" doesn't exist at this place. The workers took slices from the back of the pizzeria, not from the counter where I pointed and this is not typical. Main guy running the show didnt want to hear the fact that it should take no longer than 5 minutes to grab the slice I ordered in front of me, throw It in the oven...hell, I would have even taken it cold to go but they clearly avoiding standard practices for whatever reason. Instead I stood waiting close to 25 minutes for 2 slices of pizza to go.... Not good. Pizza has gone downhill as well. Laughable.
