Convenient location to Lenox Hill Hospital. Numerous choices for both Neapolitan and Sicilian slices. Also featuring other foods... soups, salads, hot and cold sandwiches and entrees. They move you along quickly. Decent sized seating area. I had two slices - cheese and ch and sausage. On the thin side (which is good). Good undercarriage, little flop. My two slices w a small fountain drink was $10. For the upper East Side of Manhattan???? A bargain and quality was great. 4.5 stars for (coincidentally) proudly serving the community for over 45 years read more

Nice neighborhood pizzeria on Lexington. Came in for lunch and got two slices of pizza, Margherita and BBQ Chicken. The Margherita tasted very good and had big chunks of Mozz. The BBQ Chicken was different for what I'm used to. It's not pieces of chicken that are barbecued, but it's pieces of chicken in bbq sauce. It was ok. It's a tight spot with a lot of tables in the back. Some have outlets where you can plug in a phone. They also have a bathroom. At the front is a little plate scraping station, where you can bring your plates when you're done. I didn't notice it at the time, and when I went back to my plate, one of the staff were already clearing it off. Apologies! read more

I went to this tasty old-school pizza place a handful of times while walking on the east side, though I never took any photos. The plain slices were standard and tasty, and a good example of a typical slice. For a variety of reasons, they unfortunately recently closed after 45 years, as per UESite. The last night was on December 3rd. read more

This place is popular! I went in for 2 cheese slices, drink, plus a beef patty. Beef patty was cold. Only edges were warmed up. Made me nervous to eat, but I was hungry! My body will let me know if I made a poor decision or not. 3 stars bc maybe I just got unlucky. All those other ppl seemed happy. I probably won't come here again, but I do appreciate the business owners responses to reviews. Happy eating everyone! read more

You had me at Arancini. One of the few pizzerias in the Upper East Side--if not all of Manhattan--to serve Arancini, a.k.a. Baked Rice Balls. They have a breadcrumb crust, filled with cheesy rice, and a core of meat and peas. Don Filippo's Arancini are very large. Just one could easily be a very filling lunch or dinner for you. This place doesn't just warm them up for you. They split them in half, coat the two halves with even more melted mozzarella, and serves them with a side of dense marinara sauce. Not too salty. Baked to perfection. Packed nicely for take out. And very friendly staff when I was there on Saturday 10/18/25. My new vice. read more

I've been ordering from this pizzeria for almost 25 years ( Doorman / Upper East Side) and for the most part their food has been pretty good . The Pizza however has been disappointing to say the least . When ordering for delivery, u have a 50 / 50 shot of getting yesterday's pie . The Definition of Yesterday's Pie is when you order pizza today ( hopefully fresh ) and they give you slices from the day before . The cheese on the pizza looked like it was cemented onto dough and the crust you can bounce off the floor . I m hoping that they see this and stop offering yesterday's pie to me and others ... read more

Good place for takeout pasta - reasonable prices and nice people. I do wish they would stop playing Fox News. Of course, they can play whatever they want, but it feels needlessly divisive. Why would a business alienate half of its potential customers? My friends won't meet me here. I'm not asking for MSNBC or CNN. I suggest middle-of-the-road programming like local news or NY Channel 1 (much more unifying) ... or music or cat videos :) read more

We were nearby at the Metropolitan Museum and wanted a quick bite. This was one of the results and had great reviews. Unfortunately, this just didn't live up to the expectations that we had. First of all, they refused to tell us the prices of their slices. We saw they were advertising a $6.30 deal for 2 slices and a soda. I asked what slices were included and they told us all of them. This made sense as their website clearly states that all their slices are between $3-4. We grabbed a margarita slice and a white slice. The pizzas were quite old and hard. Even the oven they through them in didn't help at all! Unfortunately it was very unsatisfying, but the worse part came when they gave us a bill. They charged us $5.50 per slice! I mentioned their deal they had stated before and they said that it didn't apply now. This was unacceptable however we paid our bill and left. The pizza is average at best yet the service is bad as they do try to scam you! read more

At Don Filippo, the slices fell flat, Cheese and veggie weren't fresh and that's a fact. For four stars on Yelp, it's a real head-scratcher, This pizza's a flop, no flavor to capture! read more

Throwback to a better New York, where you'd find many small, neighborhood pizzerias and restaurants serving up good Italian comfort food at reasonable prices. Simple place, no white tablecloths here, but good fare, table service and not-bad prices. Friendly staff and a cozy room on a chilly night. read more

The food is good here but the one thing that is wrong is the staff ! They all have an attitude as if you owe them something !!!! The girl in the front is beyond rude and will be calling to speak to the owner later this is ridiculous that you can't enjoy your meal because she ruined it for me !!!!!! She's nasty read more

Wasn't sure what to expect because of the mixed reviews, but overall I had a good experience! WHAT I GOT hawaiian pizza slice 5/5: very gooey cheese and clumps of ricotta - was surprised that the crust didn't fall apart from all the cheese. Plenty of pineapples. I don't usually like thin crust pizzas as much but surprisingly it was pretty good. chicken panini 3/5: ate this after my pizza slice and it was already colder. Flavor was good though so definitely think it could've been better hot. SERVICE / AMBIANCE It's a smaller restaurant where you pay up front and then they will bring the food to you. Service was pretty quick. Not a good first date spot, more like a casual quick lunch place. TIP - eat while food is hot! read more

Best pizza on the Upper East Side. Margherita is fantastic in particular. Good old school slice/pie.

We found this place by accident, wandered in and had the perfect family Italian lunch. Fine service and just really, really tasty, fresh food. The kids were happy. We were very happy. A great old-school place. read more

Vile. -a cheese slice is $3.75. A margarita is $6. Yes, we're on the UES, but very overpriced -low quality ingredients -tasted awful and old -we found part of a fake nail in the cheese slice -poorly prepared 2Bros or any dollar slice joint puts Don Filippo to shame. 0/5 if it was possible to rate it as such. Save yourself the trouble. If you're up here and have kids to feed, I promise you can do better elsewhere. Will never be returning. And I thought Farinella across the street was bad... read more

Holy moly their chicken sandwich is amazing!!! I was craving a deli like sandwich, and was really in the mood for a quality chicken breast hero. Thankfully I took a chance on Don Fillipo, and they did not disappoint! The portion was generous, and the flavor was immaculate. Their garlic knots are honestly the best I've ever had. On a separate occasion, I got their pizza. To me, the pizza was just okay (minus one star). I felt the pizza was lacking flavor. Overall, I do recommend this restaurant and know I will be returning. Bonus points is that not only do they have an indoor dining area, but they have a pretty nice outdoor dining set up as well. read more

Quick service with good pricing but the food left much to be desired. The outdoor place is down nicely adding value to your meal. read more

When my bestie insisted on finding the same pizzeria we would frequent in college when we would come to the UES for art class over 10+ years ago, I was like, good luck with that. All we remembered were the amazing garlic knots that were stuffed with shrimp parm or chicken parm. After some time digging, she found our beloved Don Filippo, and we made our lunch date. This place is absolutely a GEM. A gem hidden in plan sight. We were so excited to see that they survived COVID, and had outdoor dining, we struggled to make a decision on lunch. I personally opted for two shrimp garlic knot paninis (as they call it here) and two eggplant parm, with a slice of fresh mozzarella, because I didn't think it would be enough for lunch. My bestie ordered more to-go, and got the same paninis as me. They are little presents of delicious joy. They are so simple and yet so damn genius! You cannot pass these little guys up! The flavors come in strong and fresh, and you can't only have one! The fresh mozzarella slice really surprised me as to how amazing their sauce is. The firmness and crispiness of the crush is just pure gold; highly recommended! We're so happy Don Filippo exists and we will be coming here more often once the weather gets even nicer! read more

This review is just for the pizza slices- some delicious, some ok- I loved the white and margherita slices, not so much the other meat slices, which tasted old. I'm on the fence about it-- it's ok, but I really don't feel compelled to return-- the sauce is sweet and not zesty, and salty. The dough is not flavorful, but a little bland and salty. The staff is a bit unfriendly but ok if they are bring forced to be nice to you, seemingly. (I have many favorite pizza slices in the neighborhood- I really don't think this is one of them...) I wanted to try this place due to the other pizza reviews! I disagree. read more

Pizza was so a delicacy, my partner and I got some pretty big slices. The service was nice and the seating inside is cutesy. There's also seating outside with a nice street view. I'd definitely come here again! read more

This review is solely for the food that I ate. I did not eat at the restaurant because I was too tired to leave the hotel, but my family brought me back some food. Ended up eating some leftover Hawaiian pizza(thin, crispy crust topped with quality cheese/sauce, didn't skimp on any of the toppings either!!!) and a vegetable sub(peppers, onions, mushrooms, eggplant) that both hit the spot even when they were cold. Based off the menu and photos my family took, this is a traditional Italian restaurant, large portions well worth the price. My dad also raved about the customer service they received while eating in. We'd definitely come back :) read more

Wonderful lunch! Shopping upper east side and stopped in for soup, salad and pizza slice and it was better than expected. We popped in and the smell of freshly baked pizza and sauce grabbed us. 3 of us decided on an antipasto salad, Italian wedding soup, slices of pizza. Then we couldn't stand it and got the garlic knots w sauce. Garlic knots were hot, so soft with crunch edges, sprinkled with olive oil, garlic flakes and salt and were delicious. Everything was delicious and the service was fast, friendly, and helpful with recommendations. We have made a note to go back next upper East trek. read more

Standard pizza joint! Stuff doesn't get heated super hot unless you tell the staff. Got the Sicilian slice and the spinach/cheese calzone. Both were enjoyable but calzone had waaaay too much cheese. Ended up kinda pulling it apart and eating the outside. Well-priced :) read more

Yeah the pizza's really good but we come here for the entrees. The chicken francese is just terrific as is the escarole and bean soup. A pasta (maybe orecchiette?) with broccoli rabe and sausage was also excellent. Haven't made a bad choice yet. In other words, this is a simple, non-descript, neighborhood place that serves great food at very reasonable prices. And the ambience is perfect - ever so slightly in need of an upgrade that hopefully doesn't happen - if you like that kind of thing. And the staff is very friendly. read more

Meh. Whatever passion once existed here (if ever), is long since gone. Garlic rolls are cold and not made fresh; pasta was overcooked; red sauce was lukewarm and uninspired; and I sense microwaves are used in this joint. Everything was just "fair," and a bit sad. This is about as far from "Italian" as one can get. If you absolutely must eat here, maybe try the pizza. Otherwise, this is a poor excuse for an Italian trattoria. read more

This place has stood the test of time. I remember passing this place on my way to The Dalton School when I was a kid. (I'm 43 lol) It's got something unique that most in the neighborhood do not have. Garlic knot chicken parm minis! Think they are $3 bucks or something. Back in the day they were the best two bucks you could spend on the upper east side haha. Now it's the best 3 bucks up here. I have not tried more than what's served at the counter and it's a hit every time. Love this place. Don't buy to many of the minis. They might hike the price again read more

Came out with my gf to enjoy some pizza. This restaurant has adapted nicely to covid, with quite a large outdoor dining space. The space has some really beautiful green plants and is covered with a tent! I enjoy how their menu is simple, yet has a wide variety of italian comfort foods. I kept eyeing the chicken parm but really wanted pizza. Luckilty, you can get both because they have little bite sized chicken parms sanrwiched in between garlic knots - tasty! I think one unique aspect of the restaurant is their ability to accommodate your pizza. Most places ive been to wont split the toppings half and half but here they said it could be done easily. My gf ordered the Margherita and I had a hawaiian half. Paired with wine, the pizza was a hit -- fresh mozzarella and they didnt skimp on the ham and pineapple. The crust didnt overwhelm the pizza either and it felt quite balanced. My gf enjoyed her pizza and the hearty lentil soup. Service is excellent. Really enjoyed my outing here! read more

I went here last year for my Father's Birthday weekend. We had just came back from The Met. It was my first time ever in New York and having Italian in my blood, I suggested we try an Italian restaurant. We looked up which was the closest and this restaurant popped up. I had a slice of cheese pizza then I decided to try the pasta. I don't remember which one I ordered but it was so delicious I craved it the rest of my pregnancy wishing there was A Don Flippino restaurant in Miami *sigh* the sauce was so on point, sea food was fresh. You can literally taste the love in the dish. This dish was made with care and consideration. Next time I visit NY, this will be my first stop after getting settled in. My mouth is just watering remembering this dish created by Godly hands . Not to mention my heavenly cannoli ! MMMMHMHM ! read more

$135 in various food ordered for a table of four, and they had the gall to charge me $1.50 for hot sauce. This is unacceptable. They don't charge for ketchup, parmesan cheese, parsley flakes, olive oil, etc... why are they charging for hot sauce (which is cheaper than ketchup and is simply vinegar and pepper). Shameful! read more

At 5:55pm on 6/15/23 a delivery person from this restaurant nearly ran me over at high speed while I was on the sidewalk near 78th and 1st. I proceeded to walk after him and tell him that it's illegal to ride on the sidewalk and besides he nearly ran me over and he said in clear fluent sounding English that he doesn't speak English. Then he smiled widely and laughed at me. Then he rode against traffic west on e. 78th which runs east. I called the restaurant to report this but was told there is no indication of when the manager might come back in. read more
