The GOAT of Bronx Pizza. Period…read more If you want to know what real New York City pizza is supposed to taste like, stop looking and get to Louie & Ernie's on Crosby Ave. This isn't just a meal; it's a Bronx institution. The Vibe: Old School & Authentic This place is as "old school" as it gets. It's located in the basement of a house, and walking in feels like stepping back into 1959. There are no fancy decorations or "artisanal" gimmicks--just the smell of fresh dough and a gas oven that's probably seen more history than most museums. * Pro Tip: It is CASH ONLY. Don't be that person who gets to the counter with a card; come prepared. The Pizza: The Best in the Bronx I've had a lot of pizza, but this is easily the best in the borough. * The Crust: Paper-thin, perfectly salty, and has that signature "Bronx fold" with just the right amount of char on the bottom. * The Sausage: This is their claim to fame. They use huge, fresh chunks of sausage that are packed with flavor. It's heavy, it's greasy in the best way possible, and it's legendary. * The Sauce/Cheese: The ratio is perfection. The sauce is tangy and bright, and the mozzarella is creamy and never "rubbery." The Service The staff here are exactly what you want in a legendary neighborhood spot--friendly, fast, and no-nonsense. They keep the line moving, but they treat you like a regular even if it's your first time. Verdict: 10/10. It's simple, it's classic, and it's the king of the Bronx. If you haven't been, you're doing NYC wrong.

It's got a thin crust, nicely charred, and the sauce was well balanced, not too tart or sweet. We followed with a penne vodka slice to which I added the recommended hot pepper oil. The pasta was cooked just right and quite tasty and chewy. Finally, I had to try the new tricolor slice - thick stripes of red sauce, vodka sauce and pesto. Delicious combo. Pugsley's is not easy to find but definitely worth seeking out. If you attend Fordham, you already know it, but otherwise, its located in a building that hasn't changed much - outside or inside - that looks like a high school hangout from the 60s or 70s.

It's a small joint full of locals and pictures of all the kids sports teams that they sponsor in the neighborhood. Pizza is simple, with a delicious crunchy crust. We went as a stop on Scott's Pizza bus tour and quickly overwhelmed the space. It was an odd hour so that probably helped and Scott did call ahead for our order to keep up moving and to give them a heads up. All that said, Tommy couldn't have been friendlier. Regulars were friendly and spoke highly of the product. It looks like one of those places where the slices would have been exactly the same 20 years ago as they are today.

We started with the Burrata and butternut squash appetizer. It was an interesting combination and flavorful, though I wish the squash had been cut into smaller pieces. For my entree, I ordered a chicken sandwich. While the cutlet was generous and tasty, the sandwich felt a bit too busy for me--there was a lot of mayonnaise and an overload of chopped lettuce, which I ended up removing. We also shared their famous Miele Di Melanzane, which was delicious. The pizza was good too, and I really enjoyed the spicy honey on top. The staff was friendly and attentive which is always a plus!

After you get situated with finding parking, better yet, take mass transit if you can, you'll find a non descript pizzeria. It's CASH ONLY ** they have ATM's inside for your convenience, which I had to use and I think the fee was 2.50$ but I'm not sure. The pizzeria slices are HUGE.-ginormous- colossal!! I thought it was going to be superficially large pizza with a horrible taste. ON THE CONTRARY - NO! The pizza was delicious and I found the salt content to be reasonable, perfectly salted. I paid 38$ for the super sized pizza. My kids devoured it, while my wife took pictures of of the kids eating their kite sized pizza slices. I highly recommend this "Bronx Style" pizzeria. The pizza is well cooked, medium to thin sized pizza and the ratio of cheese to tomato sauce is distributed evenly with a slightly cheesier taste than tomato.

Yes it a big slice. Probably the biggest you have seen and yes, it is a big pie. Probably the…read morebiggest you've seen. But the fact of the matter is the quality of the cheese and dough is not up to par. The pizza resonates of low quality mozzarella cheese and poor quality bread. I've been eating here on and off for many years and the quality of the product has deteriorated. I would not recommend this place to anyone unless they wanted to "try that place that they heard of on social media or from a friend who ate here 20 years ago. it's just not worth it. They are better pizza places in the Bronx (Circle, Yankee Pizza, Ernie's, Tony's on Throggs Neck, Pugsley Pizza)z If the owner were able to improve on the pizza by incorporating better quality ingredients, I would definitely give it a shot again. I wouldn't even mind if they charged seven dollars a slice for that mammoth slice because it is very very big. But in its current incarnation, I would have to pass on a second round. It's just not worth the money because the taste and quality of the slice is so poor. What happened?!??

They came up highly recommended, that always makes me a little apprehensive. They were right! Got there around 1is, not crowded but there were some patrons - looked like regulars. We got seated right away. Service could not have been better and I base a lot of my reviews on that. One of the staff was clearing the table and accidentally brushed against me, he barely touched me - he couldn't have been more apologetic. Very impressive, I assume management trained him and kudos to them for that! Food was next level! Calamari app was tasty, fresh, tender and delicious. I had the Filet of Sole and it was in an egg batter that was very tasty and perfect. I know it was good because my son had several bites! He also had the gnocchi and I don't think he took a breath while eating it. Definitely be back if I'm in the area again.

Well, we gave this place a try by recommendation. Unfortunately, it fell below expectations…read more We tried the veal saltimbocca and the Linguine Alle Vongole. The veal looked great but the flavor was truly lacking. Marsala-like sauce was watery without the rich flavor. Could be so much better. The clams were plentiful but needed a bit more linguine. The sauce was so watery and tasted like just clam juice with barely any flavor at all. Lacked the wine garlic deliciousness that normally comes with this dish. So, we won't be returning. Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant was pleasant overall. Just needs major improvement with food preparation. Flavor makes all the difference.
