My son lives in California and whenever he visits this is his first stop! Everything is amazing. Customer service always perfect. Food is unbeatable. My favorite is their eggplant Parmesan. Their mozzarella sticks never make it home. I swear they're made in house. There are a lot of pizza places around the area but nothing compares to Caruso's read more

Went in to grab a quick slice. Good service, good pizza, good garlic knots. All around good place

I moved to Riverhead almost 1 year ago. This is THE best pizza place ever. Never even had to try a different place! There is no need to try anyplace else. I got a chicken Caesar slice today & it was amazing. Everyone who works there is so nice. Prices are great. Pizza is perfect. I am a pizza nut, can eat it everyday. Thanks Caruso's. read more

The best ham calzone I have enjoyed in a long time . The ricotta was like velvet with generous pieces of ham. Accompanying sauce was flavorful. Pizza had a nice crust and generous amounts of sauce and cheese . Reasonable prices for the high quality. read more

Perfect place to get something quick to eat right before leaving riverhead. Very good pepperoni pizza.

Amazing pizza and delicious food! The owner and her staff are incredibly friendly and make the experience even better. During the snowstorm, I stocked up on several dishes and everything was excellent. The sauce is outstanding. Highly recommend to anyone in the area! read more

Caruso's is by the TJ Max strip and offers fast, reliable grab and go take out. Sit down tables are there. People were professional and pleasant. Food was fresh and store was busy. Reliable, good and flavorful. read more

Food was very good and plentiful We had stuffed shells. There very nice bread and garlic bread. Waitstaff was were pleasant but not very attentive. The night we were there there was a group of 12 that were fairly loud. But I imagine at other times it would be quiet. We will definitely come again .... or order out. read more

Caruso's Pizza did a fantastic job yesterday. I ordered 30 pizza for an event. The food was great, delivered on time. Gabriella was a huge help coordinating getting 30 pizzas delivered, and still hot! Thanks Caruso's for making our event great read more

The lady and gent who frequently work behind the register when I get there 15 mins before close (sorry!!) are some of the nicest people ever. They've been a godsend when I'm hangry, tired, and leaving work 3 hours later than intended. My go-to items aren't anything fancy, just standard fare; the five stars are for their reliability in pulling off those items perfectly every. single. time. It's a smaller space, sure, but that just means you can get to know your neighbors a little better as they also pick up their orders. 5 stars for me means don't change a thing, you're perfect. I'll never stop ordering your eggplant parm on hero and when I'm feeling wild enough, I know throwing on a grandma slice and Diet Coke will tip me into a delightful, delicious food coma. Thank you folks, for being awesome. read more

Amazing pizza, great variety, very friendly and helpful staff, plenty of seating. Very clean and inviting, definitely recommend.

Great chicken parm hero and the staff is ultra friendly. I will return and I highly recommend.

This is truly a great pizza shop. We've had so many pies over the past month that have been so delicious. Space is inviting with the staff engaging warm and the food quality is exceptional. This is our go to Friday night Restaurant. Couldn't be happier with the quality and the great service. read more

I loved the margarita pizza and plan to try again. It's definitely better than any pizza available back home for me, San Antonio TX.

Was looking for a place to bring home a pie for dinner. Happened to be in the neighborhood so I sat outside and put in an online order so I didn't have to wait. Watched that there were constant traffic to the restaurant so that was promising. When the order was ready, I went in and told them my name. The staff was so nice and thanked me for giving them business. I felt that they genuinely cared that I came to get my food. Not often do you get that type of response from the staff. They made me feel good that I put in an order and that's before trying their pizza. Well, the pizza was really good and tasty and I would not hesitate to go back whenever I am in the area. I highly recommend this place for their hospitality, attitude and great tasting pizza! read more

Though I've lived in Riverhead for several years, this was my first experience ordering from Caruso's. I placed a phone order for a large pizza half pepperoni, half mushroom. I was told it would be ready in 20 minutes. I arrived exactly 20 minutes later and, sure enough, my already boxed pizza was waiting for me. I had a short but delightful conversation with the owner (Ms. Caruso?) who explained that they'd been in business for 50 years. She could not have been more welcoming. Now for the important part of this review. This was one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten. The crust was crisp and done to perfection. The pepperoni and mushrooms were in generous supply, the sauce was tangy and delicious and the mozzarella was fresh and ample. My wife and two of our friends also raved about the pizza. What a delightful surprise Caruso's was! I have found my go-to pizza place and look forward to my next visit. read more

Don't be fooled; this place is so much more than the best pizzeria in Riverhead! The lunch and dinner entrees are prepared to perfection! The fish and seafood is always the freshest! The wine selection is also quite good! The counter servers and the waitstaff are all epic!! They are friendly and efficient!! Eating in the dining room is a pleasure! Gabriella has created a casual and relaxed atmosphere and it feels like we are family! read more

Food quite tasty Service is excellent Nice ambiance Don't pass this delightful place up..... read more

Best pizza in Riverhead. Caruso's is a throwback to the old school pizzerias we used to see all over Long Island. Nothing fancy inside, but great pizza and very friendly staff. My only wish was that their slices were a little bigger. That would be my only negative...but not enough of a negative to not give five stars. read more

this place is an absolute Homerun! My family and I have been there many many many times; it's our favorite pizza place! definitely try the homemade chicken roll, it's out of this world! read more

Caruso's Eggplant Parmigiana is the best on Long Island and I have tried many. You can actually taste the eggplant and not just fried bread crumbs. read more

We love the staff, the ease of pick up in addition to the actual pizza. Now, we are from Queens,Brooklyn and Nassau county originally so we know pizza. And yes there are better pizza places but the people are so nice and the pizza is fine that , that all counts! Its always ready when they tell us to come. Gabriella is the nicest so all in all these aspects count in our review! Go there!! Its homey and we love the place! read more

Amazing people! Amazing pizza! They are the best they go out of their way for you and they are like family!!

Regular slice is great. The crust is very crispy Just needs a little more cheese. Also purchased a grandma slice. The grandma slice was excellent Better than the regular slice. Great staff very friendly. read more

They never disappoint. My girlfriend and I agree this is the best pizza in New York. We always get 2 plain slices and 2 mushroom slices and leave wanting more. Every other pizzeria on the island never compares to Caruso's level of quality. Everyone is always so nice in there too read more

Caruso's is one of my favorite pizzerias, my husband and I always stop in when we are in Riverhead. The staff is amazing and the food is delicious. My favorite slice is the Chicken Caesar, very simple, straight forward, executed well. read more

There are lots and lots of pizza places around here and most of them are good to great. That said, when I want to just get a good plain slice, Caruso's is the best. The sauce is tangy and there is just a great balance between sauce and cheese. Crust is thin but not too thin and it's cooked just enough to be a little doughy but strong enough to hold all the goodness. Yummy. read more

I love their Sicilian pizza. Well done, nice and crisp. Yum Lots of good food at this restaurant in the TJMax parking lot. read more

This is review about their pizza and pizza only from my grandson who is a pizza lover par excellence. He is 11 years old. He had two huge slices of the traditional Neapolitan pizza. It was very cheesy and the sauce was delicious. Even the crust was to his liking. Thin, crisp, and not burnt. I had a white pizza which was good but a bit too much garlic for my taste. My son had a slice of their vegetable pizza, and he concurred with his son, good crust and tasty. We will come again to try their other varieties. read more

Amazing pizza. My boyfriend kept telling me about this place and I always avoided it until he convinced me and I was mind blown. We usually eat at franchescas in Hampton bays but there is no comparison. Their pizza is perfect!!!!! The staff were supper friendly and polite. Best part was the price! read more

The food is very good. the service on the other hand is exceptional. from the moment i called my order in i knew something was different about this restaurant. on pickup i learned it was how nice everyone is and how much they aimed to please. i highly recommend dining here if you are in the area read more

See all

Whenever I'm back at home visiting, this is my very first stop. It's not just me either. Friends that now live in Chicago, Boston, and Portland still meet at Caruso's, bringing back high school lunch period nostalgia, just to taste what real pizza should taste like. There is nothing better than just getting a plain cheese pizza. I think pepperoni can sometimes overpower their thin-crust pizza. Try whatever you like, but make sure you do plain cheese at least once. read more

From Nassau county but placed an order here as donation for the peconic bay medical center, the women I spoke with over the phone was super friendly even offered to throw in some extra for the employees which was super nice of her. Received some pictures of the pizza and it looked amazing, definitely will make the trip out there some time hopefully soon read more

Shocking to get cold subs that have one thin slice of meat topped by one thin slice of cheese. Cheese only? Same one slice thick. A sandwich should not have more onion than meat or cheese! I stay away from the chains but I'd have been better off at Subway. I just spent $20 on bread and dressing. read more

literally THE BEST PIZZA IN TOWN! This place never fails! The wonderful customer service, the friendliness, the greatness ! This pizza is the absolute best! I love it here read more

One bite everyone knows the rules.... average pizza. Doesn't taste like anything. Staff seemed friendly...the crust saved this review from dropping any lower. read more
