The best clam pizza in the island. Best calamari pizza too highly recommended great service too.

Good neighborhood joint with a friendly vibe, right by the Staten Island RR. Pizza was excellent, we had the Italian pork with peppers and onions. The dough is thin, light and crispy around the edges. Draft beers relatively cheap too. read more

The pizza here is great. The vibes are very Staten Island and old school. The service was on point. I would not recommend the Caesar salad as the restaurant does not make their own dressing. They served us the salad with a plastic packet of store made dressing, which was disappointing. read more

The pizza should be considered "crack"! love it! Great place. I call in order... get there and have a drink and try not to start eating until I get home. read more

Zero complaints. Pizza is arguably one of the better spots on the island. And the buffalo calamari is incredible.

Excellent excellent local watering hole exquisite food. Great drinks and incredible family atmosphere. They must if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Good pizza. Very thin crust. The atmosphere was great - seemed like a classic neighborhood tavern with mostly regulars. We were in Staten island for our kids track meet at Ocean Breeze. read more

The best unadvertised tavern with pizza in all of NYC. Don't expect any ambience here. Its pizza and beer. Enjoy it. T Lees never gets the press like other establishments and thats fine with t the proprietors. They like flying under the radar. read more

Buffalo calamari was amazing! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Bar pies are thin crust and really great. I ordered sausage with fresh garlic... my breath stank but it was well worth it lol. Washed it down with a blue moon. Unfortunately the service wasn't the best. I sat down and didn't get a menu until my friend came about 10 minutes later. Then we waited even longer for the waitress to give us the bill. Would give 5 stars for the food, service was close to 2 stars. read more

This place is a hidden gem on the north shore. I went decades as a south shore guy and never new about this place. I am now obsessed and could not say more about how great the pizza is here. They have a clam pie that is to die for. I also had a corn beef and cabbage pie on st. pattys day that was incredible. I highly recommend this place. read more

My absolute favorite pizza of all time! I'm definitely a pizza brat/snob. Don't give me pizza unless it's from lees! read more

The White clam bar pie is delicious , I can put down 3 at a time. A must try on Staten Island.

No words for how good the pizza is, except that it's been less than 15 min and the entire pie has been devoured. Everything you want in a pizza: super super thin yet holds its shape, sauce on the artichoke half tasted like real, fresh tomato, and the clam pie smelled and tasted like straight garlic Parmesan butter. Drooling just think about it. Only wish they accepted card! read more

Always good! Their clam pie is my favorite. Great atmosphere and staff are always friendly!

Super thin crust pizza with yummy toppings. I took my track team here after an event in Staten Island and decided to treat the boys to some Staten Island pizza. The staff was super cool and my boys loved the pizza. We had a meatball pie, Two fresh mozzarella and basil pies with fresh garlic and I got a clam pie to go. We had to wait a bit for the pizza but it was worth the wait. read more

The best pizza hands down in the neighborhood. Old school Staten Island vibes. Beer is flowing and it's a place where everybody knows your name. read more

I came here for dinner on a Sunday night with a group of 4 people. This is definitely a no frills neighborhood place with paper plates. We ordered the fried calamari appetizer and the large white clam pie. The fried calamari was hot and crispy. The marinara sauce that came with the calamari wasn't that spicy though. It was thick, chunky, and flavorful though. The white clam pie was hot, cheesy, and the crust was crunchy since it was thin crust pizza. It's only $15.50 for a large white clam pie such was a great deal. Service was fast and attentive. It does get crowded later so come before 6pm and there shouldn't be a wait. I would come back just for the pizza. read more

Neighborhood bar vibe. Good place to hang out, have a drink, eat some food. Pizza is always good but service is lacking sometimes. Thin pizza with great flavor. Your food will come out quickly, but sometimes the server lacks overall vision and attention and you'll wait on refills or other requests. Don't let that deter you. Go for the pizza. Sit at bar if you like that sort of thing. read more

Love the food love everything about the place friendliness service. Every time we come to Brooklyn in June from Las Vegas we stop here at Lee's before we go to Brooklyn and have the scunglli. Did you ever think of making a a cold scunglli calamari with celery onions also as appetizer ? Everything we have tried is excellent still have to try many more delicious foods read more

Family owned and operated always consistent with there pizzas and fairly priced a classic

Amazing little place but the food in full of big flavor !!! It's always packed in here because it's just thatttt good

Not your standard NYC pizza. They do it differently and it's worth it. Unique thin crust, almost like a cracker..but, hear me out. It's worth it. Oooh now I need a Lee's pie. When I went it was super crowded. Very unfancy. Did I mention it's worth it? read more

One of the best pizzas I have had in years !!! Family spot , nice staff !! Fried calamari with the hot sauce is also a must try !! read more

Lee's Tavern is a great old fashion bar. They make a wonderful pizza and a service is quick and efficient. This is a local neighborhood place but anybody would feel welcome. Parking is on street and easy. read more

Cool place and a true Staten Island local experience. I stopped by here on my Staten Island exploration, sat at the bar, ordered the everything pizza the bartender recommended, got a jack and coke, and just watched and listened the locals enjoy their Friday afternoon. The people watching and vibe was worth the visit, but the pizza was solid as well. They have a full bar and about 10 beers on tap. If I'm ever in the area again, will try the clam pizza since it's "trending" and does look good in the pics. read more

I have been hearing about Lee's Tavern for a few years now. It's been on my list of places to check out. I don't live in Staten Island but last night I was there for an event with a group of friends. We decided we would stop at Lee's to see what all the fuss was about. This place did not disappoint. The pints were cold and crisp. The service was great. Staff super friendly. Now on to the main event, the pizza! The pizza was excellent!!! I had the regular pie and also had it with pepperoni. Cooked perfect. Tangy sauce which I loved! Perfect sauce to cheese ratio for me. My buddies got the clam pie. They loved it more than the regular. I don't eat clams so I can't comment on that. However, they talked about it all night. The food and drinks were also very inexpensive. I definitely will be back!! read more

My favorite SI place for BUFFALO CALAMARI. When I'm in SI once a week I get this calamari!!! Their thin crust pizza is good but I feel like they skim out on the topping sometimes especially the pepperoni! This pepperoni pie is the best picture I got out of all the other times I get it. Usually it's like half of the amount so to who ever is making these pies stop being STINGY and throw some more pepperoni on that Btch!! Lol read more

This place was like a hole in the wall but in a quite residential area. Their clam pizza is amazing! Loved the garlicky flavor. Their regular cheese pizza was also on point -- thin crust. It's really a bar but the pizza they serve is stellar. They don't serve chicken wings here but their calamari buffalo style is like a combination of wings and the usual fried calamari. If you are craving for pizza, I think it's worth the trip to Staten Island plus you are supporting family-owned business. read more

I came specifically for the clam pie and to see what's the hype about. I was very disappointed, nothing like a real clam pie from Lombardi's. We also had garlic bread with cheese which was disgusting, it was plain Italian bread with cheese on top and put in the oven. read more

Excellent pizza. If you enjoy Buffalo sauce they have buffalo calamari that is amazing. Cash only spot. Vintage interior but really good bar food. read more

There's a soft spot in my heart for casual, no frills thin crust pizza spots that bring you pizza on a metal tray with ample amounts of paper plates and tiny napkins that you inevitably use up. After leaving New Haven, I had yet to find such a spot until I came to Staten Island. Apparently, the casual thin crust pizza spots are plentiful, but I only came to Lee's Tavern: it did not disappoint. My two hungry friends and I came last weekend around 2:30 so it wasn't packed, but there was a steady stream of people coming in for late lunch. We ordered the Garlic Bread with Mozzarella and a large Everything Pizza with no anchovies. The garlic bread was fine, nothing out of the ordinary. The pizza, on the other hand, was delicious. They piled on the toppings and by the end of the meal, we were all stuffed. I definitely need to make a trip back to Staten Island soon. read more

Pizza is good - but impossible to order ahead. Phone Line is always busy when calling. It's 2024 and you still can't order online. Cash only too - they should use some of the money they've saved on lack of paying taxes to upgrade their phone system perhaps, or add an online ordering option. read more

BEST food on Staten island! DO NOT let the fact that the first thing you see when you walk in the door is a bar.

The Pizza crust/doe etc is horrible, crumples like saltine crackers in your mouth. It's not the best pizzeria in staten island anymore. There are many pizzerias in SI that are way better. Brothers, Deninos, Pizza Giove, etc. read more

Talk about classic staten places. it's A gritty old bar but nothings changed the pizza still good And It's still a solid place to grab a drink and watch a game. just small piece of advice pizza is excellent in-house but because the crust is so thin if you take it out you need to pick it up immediately and eat it immediately otherwise it gets cold and hard Quickly. read more

Best pizza , wonderful service conveniently located from the atmosphere they serve alcohol

Went to Lees for lunch today. usually very good,but disappointed today..took long to order and long for pizza to come..garlic bread was almost cold when it came out and pizza was lukewarm . sat for a while and thought about ordering over the phone while we were seated there..thought it might be quicker..lol one waitress ...who was very busy and running to get things done. she certainly needed help .....if this was my first visit here, I would never go back. read more

This pizza has gone downhill from the last time I tried it. The pizza is a bar style, very thin and crispy and so small that it feeds one. But the crust is too crispy. I know that sounds crazy to say, how could pizza be too crispy? Well, it falls apart, like a cracker when you bite into it, especially towards the end, after the 3rd bite. The entire slice fell apart into pieces when I bit into it. And to make matters worse, there was a thick film of flour still stuck on the bottom of the pizza; and it was as if the pizza wasn't cooked long enough. The dough is so thin that it cooks faster than everything else cooks. I was disappointed in the sauce too, it tasted raw, like canned tomato puree, and not cooked enough. The cheese wasn't tangy at all, and lacked the nutty richness that you get from so many other quality pizzas around NYC. Despite all these issues I have with it, I do acknowledge the fact that the pizza does have it's own character and it's style is unique. If someone were to hand me this pizza and not tell me where it's from I would know right away that it's a Lee's Tavern pizza. It just lacked overall flavor. 6/10 and 3 stars out of 5. read more

Still one of the best pizza places on SI. Service is always good and the pizza/beer is even better!!! read more
