    Side salad
    Juju W.

    I'd have to say, this is one reliable pizzaria. Been coming here pretty regularly and the specials are soooo good. The eggplant lasagna w spinach and mushrooms smothered w mozzarella is always reliable to satisfy you deliciously. My 2nd favorite is the shrimp parm. Huge fried shrimps smothered w sauce and cheese. Served w a cold delicious salad or you can have a side of soup or pasta. You will be stuffed cause portions are huge! Service is always great just like the garlic knots and bread.

    Round of applause for the service I was the last order of the night and they were still happy to serve me not rushing me out not giving me the side eye. Regular degular pizza ambiance with places to sit. Pizza I give it an 8 out of 10.

    A little greasy but that just adds to the authenticity of this New York Pizza. 2 pies fed 4 kids & 2 adults (with leftovers). The half pepperoni pie was delightfully loaded to the point some were falling off as I bit into a slice. Well priced in today's economy

    Local pizzeria with a dinning room that can seat a large crowd. They usually have tables for or 4 but they can put a few tables together for a larger group. The wait staff is friendly and attentive. This place has several specials of the day. Look at the white board and you are bound to find something new to try. They have a great minestrone soup, salads are big, the garlic knots are fresh and soft. Love the spinach lasagna, calamari, eggplant and chicken, the subs.... The pizza is great too! Thin crust and oozing cheese. Yummm

    Always mistakes with this place. Then when you point out the mistakes, they give you a "F you" stare and a shrug of indifference. Bad experience. Bad attitude. If you don't respect your customers, don't like your job or don't really care, then quit or close. This business deserves a bad review, which is what this is. Won't order from again.

    Cauliflower pizza. Really good. Not worth the attitude.

    So I get that this place might be busy, but that is zero excuse for the horrible customer service they provide. The food is excellent, yes. I have a health issue that prevents me from eating wheat. I ordered the cauliflower pizza and called back just to inquire as to whether or not there was anything other than cauliflower in the crust, just to be sure. I ask about the crust and the man goes "It says cauliflower crust, it's cauliflower" with the most condescending tone. So I said "ok I just wanted to make--" and he cuts me off so rudely going "So are you ordering for pickup or delivery?" And when I started to say that I already ordered, he immediately hung up on me. This is not the first time I've encountered this kind of attitude here. They once forgot an entire pie out of our order and I gave them the benefit of the doubt, but I'm over it. Too many good pizza places around to waste money on a place with rude employees like this. I'll stick to Brother's because at least they care about their customers.

    Indoor dining

    This place has indoor dining and a parking lot. I usually get a regular slice/pie. It's so fresh and definitely recommend. For a cheese pie is $21.50

    Grandma Pie
    Daniel B.

    Their specialty pies are the way to go - and their grandma pie is hands down the best grandma I've ever had. Their regular slice is serviceable, nothing special, but the fresh tomato and basil and mozzarella on their grandma is really the perfect combination that I have never found replicated anywhere else. They also make delicious spinach wheels with the perfect dough to cheese to spinach ratio. Huge fan when I'm in the mood for something other than plain pizza from a pizzeria

    This is, by far, the worst service I have ever experienced…read more I was really pulling for this place. I wanted it to succeed. I told everyone about it, that it was some of the best pizza in New York. I gave them so many chances. Last night was the final straw. Made a reservation for Friday night at 8PM. We arrived at 8:05. The waitress who's basically always there, who sounds like she smokes about a pack a day, was the only waitress there that night. I felt for her, but also, not my problem. We didn't receive water or a full set of utensils and menu until about 8:15. At about 8:25, she took our order, and we ordered a few apps and calzone and pizza. I had to ask for my coke about 4 times until she remembered to bring it. Water was NEVER refilled. We were never asked if we were ok. Around 8:50, we finally received our apps. It was ok, they've made it better in the past. Ambiance was starting to die down as the restaurant was clearing out. We felt a bit bad for her, but also, this wasn't our fault, that they were unprepared for a Friday night rush (her words). By 9:15, we were furious and our moods were ruined. We sat down at 8:05, ordered before 8:30, we were the only ones left and our pizza and calzone were yet to be found. Shortly before 9:30, it arrived. And again, it was pretty good, but not wait over an hour for it good. I wanted this place to succeed. The pizza maker from Italy deserves a better crew. The waitress doesn't know how to be a waitress, at all. No apologies, not taking anything off the check, not checking on us. There's no busboy, no one dedicated to take out, no manager. It seems that everyone plays each others roles, and quite poorly. They've lost a loyal customer tonight. We will NEVER give this place another try.

    What started out as a snafu, turned into a lovely afternoon…read more We arrived for our reservation for 15 people on a snowy afternoon to find only 1 person working and no record of our reservation. Alessandro was wonderful and worked so hard to accommodate us all by himself. We decided to keep it simple and order a bunch of pizzas to share as well as a family style salad. Pizza was served one type at a time, it felt like a pizza tasting menu and I loved every second of it. We started off the the Margherita, which was simple and delicious. His dough is perfectly springy and light, but also has great flavor as does the sauce. Prosciutto Pie included mozzarella, arugula, prosciutto and shaved Parmigiano cheese. Another delicious version, you can feel the high quality of the ingredients with this one. Salsiccia Pie used a spicy soppressata, tomato sauce and mozzarella. It's hard to believe but each "course" seemed to be better than the last. Svetonio Pie has meatballs, tomato sauce, ricotta, crispy pancetta, kalamata olives and basil. This was the most complex pie in terms of flavors, but they all worked so well together. The Arugula Salad with cherry tomato red onion, mozzarella cubes was the perfect acidic accompaniment to the pizzas. The restaurant itself is small and rustic, but it felt so homey and made for a perfect spot for our little celebration. Everyone agreed the pizza was excellent all around. I can't wait to return to try more of the menu.

    **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!
