Carlos Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Middle Village, New York

One of my favorite spots in all of New York Great pizza. Nice guys that work there. Quaint little neighborhood pizza shop read more

Though it's a good slice, not sure about all the raves and the extremely high rating. Personally, I have been here several times and would rate it a solid 7/10. Unfortunately, I prefer a zestier sauce and theirs lack a zing. Regardless, I would stop by if I'm in the neighborhood, but unlikely drive out of my way. read more

Carlos Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Middle Village, New York

One of the best pizzas in all of NYC. It's a weakness that I eat once a week and it's one of the places I crave over and over again.

Great service & very nice people. Food is awesome! I live in California. My daughter went to St. John's. We were able to go 2xs & enjoyed it both times! We found it driving by after going to Calvary Chapel up the street one Sunday. We do not have anything negative to say about this family friendly restaurant & we want to go back! read more

I'm kind of disappointed Carlos use to be soo good...I feel like depending on the day it's not always great....the slices are barely warmed up they give you cold tomato sauce...last time I ordered a lentil soup and it was chunky like if it was scraped from the bottom of the pot...I'm always giving them a chance to redeem themselves...but it's not giving anymore..time to find a new spot.... read more

Ever since I went to Italy, I've been trying to find pizza and other food that tastes just like it's been in Italy. I have yet to find that until this place. Their rice ball is almost exactly like the one I had in Italy. The people here are so nice and the food is so fresh. The service here is absolutely amazing very attentive very catering. I highly recommend coming here and trying the homemade sauce. It is just like an Italian grandma came to your house and cooked it for you. Highly recommend this place. read more

I've tried a ton of NY pizza places so my expectations might be a bit high. I had the plain slices and they were decent, not overly thick crust with a thin layer of cheese. Prices are more reasonable and they don't charge city prices. Garlic knots are a must have here, they give you a ton of tomato sauce as a dip. Like any pizza place, they offer a decent selection. Ton of seating here so no need to worry. No parking lot and paid meter parking. read more

I've only ordered pizza. Good dough, cheese and sauce. My favorite is the eggplant slice super fresh and tasty. Service is quick so be ready with your order. read more

Carlos Pizza - a view of the counter area - Pizza Near Me - Middle Village, New York

I've never loved the pizza scene close to my place. I found Carlo's purely by accident. We were moving and needed a place that could deliver by noon to feed the movers. Literally everyone said they couldn't get multiple pies out that early. I kept expanding my search area until Carlo's said it wouldn't be an issue. Turns out the pizza was great. The movers asked for the number because they loved it so much. We have since ordered multiple times and everyone has been happy. Carlo took my first call and I promised him I'd be back. Well we have been back multiple times and we now have our go to pizza delivery. read more

Decent neighborhood pizza spot. My food was hot and delicious Portions are large enough that you can save some for the next day to have for lunch. read more

Carlos Pizza - Believe the hype...forget the instagram foodie pic.... - Pizza Near Me - Middle Village, New York

My wife & I moved to Middle Village more than two years ago, from our hometown, "Italian Williamsburg" and luckily Carlo's is a few blocks away. While we haven't dined at there for a meal yet, from going in to get a quick slice, to trying meals on the menu and picking them up, and especially the delivery services, Carlo's has our ultimate compliment. The cuisine is excellent and reminds us of how our old neighborhood's pizza places treated us with service and great meals. read more

I lived in Middle Village my whole life and 13 years ago moved to Long Island! I stopped at Carlos pizzeria on one of the hardest days of my life it was around 9:00 PM with my family. I was at my Father's Funeral all day and never ate dinner. They asked me what I wanted and I told them about 5 slices for my family . Two of the workers or owners there have been there since I was a kid. I'm not sure of there names but I remember them. I always went there as a kid m, and also when I was living there with my wife. We always went to get dinner there because the food was always amazing! The guy behind the counter asked me if we were celebrating a party but I said unfortunately no I had my father's funeral and lived here my whole life and told my kids about the best pizza in the neighborhood. At the end they told me that it was on them no charge and that It was on the house! I was completely blown away and shocked and at a loss for words. This was truly an amazing act of kindness and not to mention the food was still as amazing as I remembered! we will definitely be back! read more

I stopped by over the weekend to pick up a large Sicilian pie ($20 for 18 inches) and 2 rice balls ($6 each). The pizza was very good and not burnt on the side at all. Just the right consistency of dough and cheese. The rice balls themselves were huge and was just ok. My wife and son said they had better. I do adore the customer service as they gave me extra sauce for the rice balls without me asking. Also I had asked for some empty small pizza boxes and they obliged no problem. The place is very clean and I would definitely go back. read more

They deliver to Forest Hills through Yelp which is very convenient. They also delivered when they said they would. We got a Sicilian pie that was generously sized. The sauce and crust were just ok, and could have used more seasoning (maybe basil or rosemary or both, something). The cheese was great. read more

Ordered catering from Carlos through their website. They a very good number of options for separate dishes. They also offer packages to help you decide the combination. I chose package 3: shrimp scampi, baked clams, chicken parm, eggplant parm, penne vodka, sausage & peppers, and cold antipasto. For the chicken, shrimp, and pasta you can tell them how you want it cooked i.e. pasta with meat sauce or chicken francese, etc. I also ordered a pizza pie on the side. They delivered right on time. The food was delicious. Certainly helped me with hosting. No stress. I also think they're decently priced :) I will definitely order from here again. Highly recommend! read more

Carlos Pizza - Package 3 catering - Pizza Near Me - Middle Village, New York

This place is unbelievably good. Moved to the area recently, and I have been looking for my go to pizza spot. We ordered the vodka Sicilian pie and it was unreal. So fresh, and such a good quality. The pie was also huge. We treated ourselves to the rainbow cookie cake and it was amazing. Easily the best pizza I've had in this area, and I'll be a regular. read more

Carlos Pizza - White slice! - Pizza Near Me - Middle Village, New York

Good service/friendly staff, efficient process to order your food. I enjoyed my plain slice and a grandma slice. There was a good ambience, it was spacious with good seating availability. I would come back if I'm in the neighborhood again. And I'm definitely fascinated by the Garlic Knot sliders the offer. read more

Great service and food always as the Penne with vodka sauce is a must and ask for the hot Italian bread.

My all-time favorite pizza joint on planet earth. Given that New York City pizza has the best in the world, Carlo's on Metropolitan & 65 Place is this city's poster child. The best plain slice you'll ever find. The most flavorful grandma slice, and a Sicilian slice to travel the world for. For someone born and raised in New York--having tried thousands of different pizza shops, very few have come close to the way that their pizza makes me feel. Made behind doors with those magic hands, talking about their golden slices gives me a rush similar to winning a large sum of money in a back-alley dice game. I'm inspired to never leave this city, mostly because of the earth-shattering pizza that comes from Carlo's. Carlo's is on my exclusive Best Buds List for exciting my taste buds to point of unfilled consistency. read more

Pizza was good. Crispy bottom. But c'mon, you can do better than ONE basil leaf per slice. read more

Consistently great. Carlo's doesn't disappoint. Heavy turnover means the product is fresh. My favorite slice is the chicken and broccoli. Conveniently located on Metropolitan Ave. and they deliver. read more

I have a couple of friends who swear this place has the best pizza in the Ridgewood/Middle Village area. I was just a couple of blocks away today so I stopped in to see for myself. I had a regular cheese slice and a Sicilian slice. The regular slice was on the small side and much thinner than I like. However, it was pretty good. The cheese to sauce ratio was spot on. The Sicilian slice was also pretty good. A little too much sauce but pretty good. Best in the area? I don't think so. Pretty good? Yes. I would return. read more

Was in the area the other day and craving some pizza so we stopped in for a quick bite. I grabbed the upside-down sicilian and a pepperoni slice and my wife got a regular slice. We each also had a can of coke. The pepperoni slice, for starters, had a ton of pepperoni, which I do like. These slices were a bit greasy, which sometimes is overkill, however this wasn't a bad amount, enough to dip the crust in at the end. The pepperoni was a good slice, the upside-down stole the show for me. My wife enjoyed her plain slice as well. This was some quality pizza, but the staff made it for me. Friendly local people who seemed to welcome everyone. No rush, pay at the end. I like pizza places like this. If I were in the area and needed a quick bite, I would return to Carlo's. read more

Carlos Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Middle Village, New York

I have been eating food from Carlo's since I was in the womb (literally.) My whole family has been patrons of this place since their opening in 1986. I am writing this review on all of their behalves- Carlo's is undeniably the best pizza in New York. I will never ever get sick of their slices and chicken rolls. (I'm craving one right now, which is what inspired me to write this review to begin with.) Carlo's is also notable for their traditional Italian cuisine. I've never had anything bad in there. I have never had a bad experience with the service there. The employees are like friends and family. It boggles my mind how someone could give this place less than 5 stars. Whenever my family can't decide on what to eat, we just go to Carlo's because we know you can never go wrong there. read more

Ehhh...for the price it's not good...the environment of the workers seems great but it's barely average for pizza spots.

This place never stops to amaze me. FYI, this place is on Grubhub. The food is just as great as the staff is friendly and courteous. I have not had an issue. When there is times I come in from work late and I don't have the chance to cook, they are there fast. I am so glad that they have been giving me great service for over two decades. My comment when I give directions about my order? -Well, wouldn't you like to know. read more

The good was amazing service was also great the serving size are very big potions we enjoy our dinner very much read more

Carlos Pizza - Sicilian Slice ! - Pizza Near Me - Middle Village, New York

This is my local pizza place and their pizzas are awesome. The Garlic knots are great too. Regular, peperoni, grandma, and margarita pizzas are the best. The staff is friendly and very hardworking. One Halloween landed on a Friday (perfect storm for them) and it was so crowded I latterly had to throw my money at them :) But nothing is perfect. While their pizzas are great, their French fries are not. They use crinkle fires and are usually over cooked. To get around it and still get my fix of fries by ordering them from the diner down the street and pizza from Carlos. read more

** 3.5 stars ** A stop on the tour of long-standing neighborhood pizza joints, characterized by counter self-serve, cafeteria-style dining areas, and pizza by the slice. Carlo's is located on commercial Metropolitan Avenue in Middle Village, in business since 1966. The front of the restaurant has a large dining area with plenty of seating. The back counter shows off ready-made pizzas behind glass. Besides the classic pizza choices of cheese slices and Sicilians, there are brick oven, deep dish, and even stuffed pizza. Toppings include classic pepperoni, sausage, anchovies, and meatballs, but still more dressed up versions topped with pasta (baked ziti, lasagna), ricotta, and chicken with broccoli. But Carlo's is not just a typical pizzeria; besides pizza, rolls, and heroes, there's also a full menu of Italian appetizers, pasta dishes, and meat and seafood entrees. But this visit is for a New York slice. The very friendly staff slide the ordered slices into the oven to heat up. All the classic condiments you'd expect, like garlic powder, dry oregano, and chili flakes, are by the soda dispenser near the counter. Hot out of the oven, their plain slice had a bonafide thin and crisp crust, keeping that crispiness for as long as 10 minutes. Not too oily nor overtopped, there's a good balance between cheese and tomato sauce. Flavor not exceptional, but perfectly fine and satisfying. A solid 3-star slice, with bonuses in seating and service that is better than most pizza joints. read more

I'm crazy for pizza. I could eat it every day. We have a large variety of pizza places in this area so finding good places can take some time after trying them all. Not only is the pizza really great but their sit down dinners are even better! I love to come here and order veal parmigiana (loaded with mozzarella cheese) and spaghetti (yum!). & They give you pizza bread while you wait for your dinner! Their chicken rolls = YUM!! Stuffed with the perfect amount of amazing chicken cutlet, cheese, and sauce. One of my favorites! Parking on Metropolitan Avenue can be a pain at times. They don't deliver so when we come for pick ups whoever is driving goes around the block a time or two while the passenger runs in to grab the order but that doesn't stop us from coming here. read more
