The pizza was so good! Cru why and flavorful. The vodka slice was just perfect with the amount of sauce and cheese. The pepperoni with the ricotta and hot honey was my fave. Just the perfect amount of kick and the creaminess of the cheese just balanced everything out. The place is small, a few seatings, but perfect to grab a slice and go. Everyone was friendly. read more

While walking along the main drag of stores on Austin St in Forest Hills, we always see people carrying Austin Street Pizza boxes and we were intrigued to try them out. In this corner store, the food prep area is way bigger than the seating area with a couple of stacks of smaller steel pizza ovens instead of the big hulking ones you normally see at other neighborhood pizzerias. The tables are only 2 seaters with both low tops and high tops, so if you have 3 or more people, you have to scramble to grab chairs to huddle around a small square table. You can order your pizza by the slice, in 18" Neapolitan/NYC style, in 14" diameter "personal" size or square/rectangular Sicilian style, also by the slice. The specialty pizzas on the menu come in all these styles. Some of the flavor/toppings are unique and almost artisan style, not your average sausage and pepperoni. I kept hearing people ordering the truffle & mushroom slice, while we were waiting on our fresh baked pies. We tried the Porchetta & Broccoli Rabe and the Bacon, Caramelized Onion & Vodka Sauce, both in the 14" round size for the 3 of us, along with an order of 6 garlic knots. The knots came with a couple of cups of sweet marinara sauce for dipping. I'm not shy about double dipping, so I grab a cup for myself. The pizzas were hot and bubbly when our server brought them to the table. She had brought a couple of pizza stands so that we would have table space to eat, which was very thoughtful. The Porchetta & Broccoli Rabe pie had a mix of cheeses and I could smell the pungent-ness of provolone. The Vodka Sauce on the other pie gave it a nice sweet taste, but I wish there was more bacon. The crust was excellent and had the signature blisters of a well baked crust. I can't wait to come back to try all the other flavor combinations! read more

This is my favorite pizza spot in the area. The pizza is high quality, has a nice crisp to the crust, the sauce is great, and I love all the topping options/flavor combos. The Upside down Pineapple is a sleeper hit - so good! I do wish they had garlic knots, and partnered with delivery apps. But since I do have to travel to get it, it makes it a fun little treat. read more

Okayish pizza. I can appreciate the creativity and modern flavors, especially with a lot of old-timers in the area (and most of Queens, for that matter). But you will hardly see those old-school New Yorkers eat here, and more younger faces. The prices here are definitely on the pricier side given its prime location. I'm usually okay with paying for good quality pizza, but I haven't been able to have a slice where I felt like it was worth paying more than I would at my hole-in-the-wall shops. That said, service is very quick and they move fast with the lines and getting your food warmed up. Nothing special about the seating, but the fact that they are high volume and have a revolving door of customers dining in usually means that tables are filled with crumbs. read more

If you know, you know -- and now I definitely know. 7th Street Pizza just gave me one of the best pizza experiences I've ever had. First off, the slices are massive, thin, and perfectly crisped on the bottom with just the right chew in the crust. You can tell they care about the dough here -- it's got that airy, golden blistered edge that only comes from real skill. I tried their classic Margherita slice and a Sicilian-style slice with pesto drizzle. The Margherita was pure perfection: vibrant tomato sauce with a fresh, tangy bite, creamy mozzarella that melted into every bite, and those fragrant basil leaves that hit you with a burst of freshness. Simple, but executed flawlessly. The Sicilian slice? Unreal. Fluffy yet crisp crust, rich tomato sauce, just the right amount of cheese, and the pesto added a garlicky, herby punch that made it addictive. You can taste the quality of the ingredients -- nothing feels cheap or thrown together. Service was quick and friendly, and even eating in my car felt like an event because the pizza was that good. If you're anywhere near this place, make the stop. It's not just pizza -- it's a slice of happiness. read more

Casual pizza spot that has some really great pizza for good prices! I got the specialty truffle slice which is def one of the best if you're a fan of mushrooms and truffle. Absolutely loved it! The lady working at the front was also very sweet! read more

The very best vegan pie I've ever had! Because it's vegan, you have to order a whole pie. I opted for the all veggie with vegan cheese. I was very hesitant because most vegan cheese is.... gross... this wasn't. It was good. Did it taste exactly like cheese? No... but it didn't have that artifical aftertaste that most vegan cheeses have. It was loaded with veggies, olives, spinach, artichokes and a couple of other veggies. I got the personal pie, 6 substantial pieces.. it took about 10 or 15 to get the fresh steaming hot pie. Thin crispy crust. I also tried the watermelon frozen rose, it was good. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. read more

Austin Street Pizza a must if you're in Forest Hills and craving standout square slices with amazing flavors - the crust is just so crispy, flavorful and paired nicely with any toppings. The truffle slice is pure decadence--earthy, creamy, and indulgent. Don't like mushrooms? No problem, just pick them off and I guarantee you will still like it. The spicy sausage vodka slice brings the heat in all the right ways, mellowed out by that rich, velvety vodka sauce topped with burrata. And the pesto margarita square? Bright, fresh, and herbaceous with a gorgeous drizzle of basil pesto on every bite. You honestly can't go wrong with any of them. They also serve up sangria, which is such a plus. It's fruity, just sweet enough, and makes the whole experience feel more like a chill hangout than a typical pizza stop. Perfect for a quick bite, catching up with friends, or just treating yourself to a solo pizza party. Staff is very friendly and service is great. read more

A great addition to the area. Love their pizza here. The crust is the best it has a sourdough like flavor and makes it crispy and chewy. Love pizza crust like that. Wondeful toppings like the pepporoni crisped up and with hot honey. Can't go wrong with any of the slices here or buying a whole pie. Friendly service and a nice place. Will be back. read more

Ever since they open every time we try any of their pizza we thoroughly enjoy: from their ultra thin slices (that must be eaten there and fresh) to a whole truffle pie and burrata salad takeout we enjoyed today. They are pretty fast and no long waits and ambiance is bright and open. read more

Austin Street Pizza - Margherita - Pizza Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

Tried this place for the first time and every slice I had was solid across the board. The plain cheese slice hit that classic NYC style comfort zone, good balance of sauce and cheese with a crust that had the right chew. The margherita slice had fresh basil and a lighter, cleaner flavor without losing that satisfying bite. The standout for me was the upside down vodka slice. The sauce had a rich, almost creamy depth to it, and flipping the order of cheese and sauce somehow made it feel more indulgent. Crust held up well on every slice. Highly recommend. read more

Austin Street Pizza has never failed me! As a pizza lover, I don't have just one place that I love. I have preferred pizza shops in various locations and in this area, this is it for me. It's usually packed but you're able to place your order quickly. I love the crust, the slight oven burn and smell, the way that impacts the texture of the crust and the freshness of everything on top. My go to is the margarita. Can't get enough. Pricing is what you'd expect to pay in Forest Hills- their rent is costly I'm sure and for me, the pizza is well worth it. Keep in mind, that a ton of city workers, especially cops and law enforcement favor the space for large group gatherings so it gets pretty loud. This isn't the ideal place for a first date- not if you want to hear each other. Other than that, you can't lose. read more

Good pizza for the area. Prices increased. The pie quality varies. For a grandma slice, I prefer Dantes. read more

I probably hit this spot up at least twice a month. Can't say they're necessarily the cheapest pizza spot around but it's definitely not crazy expensive either but the pizza you get will be very solid. Pizza dough is well flavored, doesn't flop but still chewy and soft. And every slice I've tried has not disappointed. Highly recommend. The place is relatively small but I've almost always managed to find a place to dine in when I go, even when extremely busy. That said it might be harder if you're a larger group obviously. If you're in the area and craving pizza, certainly a worthwhile place to check out. Staff is also very friendly and will happily make a recommendation if you're not sure what you want. read more

Love coming here for some slices my favorite is the mushroom truffle slice and the underrated meatballs this one I definitely recommend eating while it's hot and enjoy the savory cheese pull (it's always packed and full and they don't disappoint). read more

I visited and thought it was just Ok. Seems like a great quick lunch spot in the area. The place is nice and inviting, I could see how this place gets busy and the employees were friendly and helpful. For me, the review is strictly on the food. The food: Pesto Margherita- This was a rec from the employee that was working there, she said this was her fav slice. I agree with her. I thought the pop of the tomato was really nice, it was really pronounced. The pesto added a nice herbal touch to the bright tomato flavor. The crust was a little different than a normal pizza square would be, this one felt a bit more like focaccia bread. It had a lot of holes and it was good but not sure I associate this with pizza dough. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=B5_Ts__vQ-Vmcs9-NxNS1w&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA NY 2.0- It was described to me as a blend of the reg NY slice and a margherita. This kinda felt bland to me and I also wasn't a fan of how un-crunchy the dough was. This didn't have much flavor and there wasn't much texture, this was very average to me. read more

Employees are friendly and fast. Not a huge selection, but the pizza is delicious! The inside is clean and has plenty of seating

You know the pizza is good when you return the next day. The service was amazing as well -- they forgot to add a topping on the pizza and gave us complimentary garlic bread while we waited for the pizza to be remade. It was busier on the weekend, but there was still some seating available and it was still a pretty chill, laid back spot. The garlic bread was soft and flavorful. I'm not a big garlic bread person at pizza places because the garlic bread is typically average, but I would order this garlic bread the next time I return. The pizza was made fresh when we ordered a full pie and had a soft, doughy crust. read more

I chose the hot pepperoni and split a regular slice. I paired it with a watermelon rose. Well everything was delicious! The cheese, the sauce and the delicious crust. I am disappointed I took so long to try this location. I will be returning to try their other options. There are some seating locations but I can imagine if it is busy, seating may be sparse. read more

Amazing amazing amazing pizza. I'm usually not a fan of square slices, but Austin Street Pizza does it differently. The crust is so incredibly crispy and the dough doesn't feel too heavy and carb-loaded like other places (looking at you L&B's). We actually ordered online but forgot to hit send, so when we showed up to the shop to pick up, the staff were incredibly patient, and made them quickly on the spot for us in about 10 minutes. You really can't go wrong -- except for us, who live in another borough. Please open one up in Brooklyn! read more

Friday, 5/8, I placed an in-store order for a pizza to take out. I provided my name, once I Paid. My husband and I were told it will take about 20 minutes.. We stepped aside inside the front of store to wait. When I realized we had been waiting a long time, more than 20 minutes, I walked over to the register to ask about my order. This very unprofessional Girl said she did not know my name? Why did they place my large pie above the oven, instead of calling my name out to come to the counter to pick up my order. This was a very unprofessional service. The Girl at the counter was the Worst Service Staff person with an unpleasant attitude. Also, the guy who took my name was whispering with her and laughing at me. He is just as guilty of bad customer service. He took my name, they let my order sit, until I asked about it. read more

I have walked by here before but didn't get a chance to go in since it recently opened. I bought one plain slice. The crust is thin and light, crispy with a slight chew. The sauce is tangy and the cheese is mild. It did remind me of a slice from back in the day. And since there are no other pizza places on Austin Street anymore it's great to have these guys in the neighborhood. Since starting this review (and it somehow was stuck in drafts forever) I've had many slices and taken home a few pies. Loved them all. The pepperoni square slices are also delicious. read more

It took me way too long to try this spot but I'm so glad that I did. From what I read the pizza is made similar to Neapolitan pizza which I had the pleasure of consuming when in Naples a few years ago! I can definitely see the similarity. The crust is puffy and airy and the center is just a little wet very much resembling the Neapolitan style. I was actually shocked how light this pizza was until I opened the box and saw just how thin this pizza was. Honestly super cost effective on the part of the business to have such thin dough lol. I definitely would've preferred something a little thicker because it wasn't all that filling. Still, the taste was excellent. Not sure if the price makes it worth it considering the fact you'd probably need to eat double what you usually would to feel full but the pizza was definitely good and I would like to try other pies here. read more

The crust of the square pizzas is truly unique, rich, layered, pliable yet crunchy. The pesto slice is tremendous. The truffle slice is rich and deep in flavor. Or the regular NY style slice is a lighter and faster eat. This is the best pizza I've had in New York City these days. The staff has become much friendlier with a few different people working there. read more

We needed a simple and quick lunch and decided to finally try this spot. I tried takeout before at a party and it was just okay. Trying it in person, right out of the oven made a huge difference! Service is quick and fast. The female cashier was kind and thoughtful. She saw we had our two young kids with us and asked if we wanted the slice cut in half. I love that she asked as it shows her attentiveness. The slice was heated thoroughly with the best crispy crunch. Flavor was good and not salty. It's a smaller slice than what I'm used to and the price is okay for a plain slice. We also tried a margarita slice and that was good, too. There are a few seats, mostly high top, and there is bar style seating. I would certainly eat here than take it to go. read more

Good for this part of Queens but sub when you're from Brooklyn and used to great slices. Crust was light, although on the thicker side. The Margarita sauce is fresh crushed but no flavor overall, including the cheese. The cheese is thick on the Sicilian but again, no flavor. All of that bread with a lack of nutty, cheesy goodness or acidic tomatoey juiciness is disappointing. The Regular is good but can be gotten anywhere. Not destination Pizza. It has potential but for now, we'll stick with BK & the City! read more

The service was quick, staff were very friendly, and the food was absolutely mouthwatering. The store was a bit small, but cozy nonetheless. Although keep in mind that it was noisy, so take care if you have sensitive ears. 10/10 will come again! read more

I was at Austin Street Pizza on a Sunday with Scott's Pizza Tours. I got to try two different slices. We tried the NY 2.0 (Organic Sauce, Aged Mozz, Fresh Mozz, Parmigiano Reggiano, Fresh Basil) and the NY 3.0 which was the same with a different dough. If possible the NY 3.0 was even lighter and airier than the NY 2.0. The 3.0 had more leopard spotting and char. I eat a lot of pizza and they were both dreamy perfection. I tasted 9 pizzas on this trip to NY, including some really famous ones, and this one was top 2! If I lived anywhere near Forest Hills I'd be here once a week. Well done! read more
