Fantastic food and great service! There were lots of fun pizza flavors and toppings to enjoy that were quite unique. And don't sleep on the starters! I enjoyed the shrimp toast the most, but I really appreciated how tasty the sauces of each dish were. Great vibe for dinners with friends or a date night, and reasonable prices for food of this quality and restaurant of this vibe. Would definitely love to come back! read more

Fantastic atmosphere, great food! 3 stars for the price. Over $60 for a pizza and salad due to an automatic 20% tip on top of a 4% kitchen fee. Definitely great food and vibes, but make sure you're prepared to pay for it. read more

Beautiful restaurant with intimate and chill ambience. Great place to enjoy with a friend or loved one. The pizza dough is delicate and full. My favorites were the chimney sweep packed with flavor from the pine nut agrodolce and blue cheese. Shuggies is classic. This is where the dough shines. The basil Schug has a bit of a kick to it, fyi! The cocktails (both NA and not) were delicious also, well thought out and refreshing. It's a popular place, be sure to make a reservation, and don't expect to hang out too long after you're done eating! read more

The ambiance & service is always so perfect at June Bug. Tried the Pinto Beans as an appetizer and they were a flavor bomb! read more

Stellar Thursday night dinner at June Bug last week. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, helping us find a bottle of wine that would fit my husband and I's differing preferences (me: skin contact wine enthusiast, him: funk- and tannin-averse). We loved the recommendation, and it paired well with our meal. The ambience is a mix of funky, retro, Gen Z and Japandi vibes, with confetti resin tables, brightly colored dishes, rattan counter stools at the bar and interesting wall art. Fits perfectly with the Union Square atmosphere. We also loved that our pizza stand wasn't your typical wire getup, but instead a repurposed, empty jumbo sized can of crushed tomatoes. We ordered the bluefin tuna crudo, shrimp toast and "the garlic one" pizza with "dylly ranch" dip on the side for our crusts. Tuna was deliciously fresh, spicy and heavy on the cilantro (big cilantro fans here). Shrimp toast was very savory and filling, and the basil aioli was a nice touch. I would come back solely to eat the entire garlic one pizza on my own-- I think they achieved my ideal slice. Globs of ricotta and hot honey... guh. So good. We ultimately passed on dessert because Gracie's Ice Cream is a block away, but we will definitely be back. read more

Managed to get a last minute Friday night reservation for two. While the restaurant was crowded, our server was very attentive and super knowledgeable about the whole menu, wine list included! Ordered one pizza to share along with several appetizers (pinto beans, skate wing, and fluke). While I'm not a fan of raw garlic, all the garlic on the garlic pizza is cooked and mellowed out. The pizza dough was thin but not burnt. Would totally come back to try another pizza or more of the menu. read more

Will be dreaming about this pizza for a long time - WOW. So soft & perfectly cooked with out of this world flavors! Friendly, attentive, and kind staff members. Definitely pricey but worth the money for a fancy night out. read more

wont lie im not the biggest pizza person but i really enjoyed my meal here! the toppings r all pretty creative, but i especially liked the smoky nduja and onions on the 'like a pepperoni.' the crust was so soft but at the same time not too thick, coming from someone who is usually a crust hater. there r also small shared plates on the menu; we got the cucumber salad but the pizza was definitely the standout of the night. the ambience is very playful and cozy, with an impressive wood fired pizza oven being the first thing u see walking in read more

4.5. Great food selection, the mushroom/ shuggies pizza was phenomenal along with this the tuna crudo, kitchen sink salad and the squid. Would go back read more

Should be mandatory for a pizza place to serve a standard cheese or a Margherita pizza. I got a spicy margherita and my nose was running. My date got a really gross onion and bean pizza. Tips were automatically factored in at 20%. Pizza crust was really good. Sauce was a little runny. I'd give the crust a 9.5 out of 10 and the rest of the pizza a 6/10. read more

- Got an early dinner here on a Wednesday night around 6 with a reservation for the bar. Plenty of parking available at the lot right outside the restaurant. - The bar seats were quite comfortable to my surprise and there was hooks to hang your purse or any bags underneath the counter. - For cocktails we got the heartbreaker and the menagerie. - We ordered the blue fin tuna crudo, the Shrimp toast and one of their pizzas, I believe it was called the Nettle. - We felt the blue fin tuna crudo was fresh but a lot more spicy than we expected. I felt like the spiciness overpowered the dish a bit in terms of flavor. - We both enjoyed the shrimp toast. The dish was quite buttery and their pizza was delicious! - Service at the bar was average. The decor, candles and touches of color inside the restaurant were cute. I'd say a great place for a date or to just catch up with friends and family. - I would definitely return and try more dishes off their menu as it seems they add/switch out items seasonally. read more

Their pizza is so delicious, the crust cheese with a touch of pesto. It's like brick oven pizza and it's not floppy. Nice menu but I've only had the pizza so far. read more

Good meal here last night. The drinks were solid, the beef carpaccio is a must-get, and the woodfire pizza was really good. Ambience is great as well. I will say the auto-grat they add on all checks is a bit weird; if you're going to do that you need to be explicit when handing the check over to avoid customers double-tipping, which we almost did. We will definitely be back. read more

Had a wonderful evening at the beautiful June Bug! Drinks, small plates, and pizza were all delicious. Perfect spot for date night or dinner with friends with their warm candlelit and colorful aesthetic. We loved the scallop and fluke tartar and speciality squash and sausage pizza. read more

Excellent first meal at June Bug. The food, service, service, and vibe was awesome. The Snack Break Martini might be a top 5 all time drink and the pizza was great. read more

Pizza was just okay, not amazing. Staff were very nice but it wasn't as good as I'd hoped. I didn't even eat the leftover pizza because it wasn't that good. Hideous topping choices and they should really go back to the basics of pizza - aka cheese on pizza, the current menu options aren't great. The one with garlic smash wasn't great, sorry. read more

the food was pretty good but went home feeling like it was way more expensive than it was worth. as a user mentioned below, it's because they add a 20% tip for all tables in addition to a 4% tip for the kitchen so i tipped an additional 20% on top of that. this left a pretty sour taste in my mouth as this wasn't mentioned at all and while it was mentioned in the fine print on the bottom of the menu, i don't really read it as i don't have dietary restrictions and that's what it typically pertains to. super cute ambiance but i probably won't be back. read more

I really wanted to love this place as I loved the pizza at T&B, the wood-fired pizza place previously in this location. I ordered a vegetarian version of the groundbreaker pizza (white bean purée, italian sausage, broccolini, pecorino) with mushrooms as a substitute for the sausage. The pizza arrived with small pieces of broccoli, not broccolini and we were not informed in advance of the substitution. I would not have ordered this if I had known. While the dough was nice, the pizza was pretty tasteless, even after adding some red pepper flakes. Perhaps this pizza needed some more grease and would have worked better with the sausage, as intended, though they should test out their substitutions to see what works and what doesn't.. For 2 people, the bill came to $153 (for 2 cocktails, 2 glasses of wine, 2 pizzas and a salad) and while the cocktails were good and salad was decent the rest of the meal was not that enjoyable and did not seem worth the $. I may give them one more try and order differently but was disappointed that they did not live up to expectations.. read more
