**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!

Ambiance: cute and cozy Service: friendly…read moreFood: great pastries/desserts I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and I finally got a chance to grab something before I hopped on the LIRR. I got the ube foam topped coffee and the ube butter mochi. The coffee was ok. I couldn't really taste the ube foam on top. I had a feeling their desserts would be good, but I was seriously blown away by how good the ube butter mochi was!! Creamy top, chewy bottom, and crispy edge... YUMM!!! No wonder there was only one left when I got there; good thing I got it. I will definitely be back to try more desserts!

Found this cute Filipino dessert shop on social media and it did not disappoint. Like their page…read moredescribes, their menu changes constantly so they didn't have some of the items I had seen online (was hoping for the pandesal bread pudding and the ube crinkle cookie), but there were so many other mouthwatering things. The ube basque cheesecake was smooth and rich, but not as potent of an ube flavor as I would've expected. IMO the standout was the passionfruit donut. It reminded me so much of a malasada. The dough was perfectly light and airy and paired perfectly with the tart passionfruit filling. I also picked up their pandesal (that was still warm!) which was baked to perfection and was just slightly sweet. I saw online that the head baker previously did pastry and Michelin restaurants and it really showed. All the bakes were so well done and the flavors weren't overly sweet. I can't wait to go back to try more!

This is the second time coming to this establishment and will be my last…read more I gave 2 stars because the employee was nice and it's clean. I ordered the avocado toast with a free hot coffee. The last time I came here the avocado toast had tomatoes,feta cheese, arugula nicely plated. This time is looked bland and tasted bland too. Only a piece of thick multi grain bread and avocado spread with red pepper flakes. I was suprised when I opened my food. I asked "this is it?" The young lady behind the counter explained they changed the menu. I was not happy with the food and the coffee had a after taste. This is the last time I come here.

My coworker's told me about this spot so today on my lunch break I decided to take a drive and…read moreorder. There's meter parking in the front and a lot in the back. Friendly customer service. I ordered a large peach oolong tea with lychee jelly, 50% sugar, less ice, lunch special 4 piece sweet chili wings w/ fries and for my coworker a large fresh lemon green tea. The wings was good alittle spice to them fries was good just enough salt. The peach oolong tea was really good not to sweet. I will definitely come back and order again

I've definitely had better popcorn chicken. The only upside is that it wasn't overly oily, which I appreciated. Meh.
