    House Slice & House alla Vodka with Pepperoni
    Rostam Z.

    Good pizza but there are definitely better ones out there. The House slice had good texture but lacked in overall flavor. The House alla Vodka w/ Pepperoni was flavorful but the addition of Pesto did not pair well in my opinion. I actually asked for no pesto when ordering but they put it on anyways.

    Watched them put the pizza in here after we asked again.

    I love the pizza from mama's too, it is one of my favorites and I really wanted to rate it higher, but their service was terrible. I waited 30 minutes for my pizza, and it only came out at 30 mins because I went and asked them about it multiple times. They also did not apologize at all, instead they were rude about it. It seems like a lot of other people have issues with the service here too. I still really like their pizza but I am incredibly disappointed in this location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There isnt much to say about the inside. Not much seating, I feel like there is empty room to add more tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Uncle Joe

    I'll start by saying I ordered the wrong thing. Hand up. I'm partially to blame because I ordered a round slice instead of the Sicilian which is what they are seemingly known for. If I ever return, I'll have to try a square slice. I was able to order right away which was nice. Having waited in line for 15 minutes and then another 10 or so immediately before at the supposed #1 place within about a 1 minute walk nearby; I was glad that this had no wait to order. I did the Uncle Joe which was a vodka pepperoni sauce and I added pesto. The total was $8.50. WTAF. NYC I guess. I waited less than 5 minutes before getting the pizza. Of the 6 slice spots I had, this was by far the best tasting dough/crust. I had an audible reaction when tasting the crust. Extremely good. Unfortunately, the pizza had too much sauce. It was overwhelming. Simply too much sauce. I could only have about half before giving up. Both sauces tasted good, but the vodka sauce was so loaded that it was hard to taste anything else. A shame because this had potential to be a great score.

    Pepperoni!

    I'm not a pizza person but I love this place! Maybe it's the thick, focaccia-like crust... but that is my vibe all the way. Something about regular crust is just meh to me...but this thick crust is fluffy, chewing, soft, and is the perfect canvas for some toppings! I was telling my brother that to me, the perfect pizza would be mama's too crust and the L'industrie toppings... and THAT my friend, would be the BEST pizza in the world, haha. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I ordered the pepperoni on a saturday evening... or was it friday evening? around 9:45pm. It wasn't too crazy busy, but it was busy and loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The line to order was quick, roughly a 1 minute wait? But to get your slices... the wait wasn't too bad, even though it felt longer than it did. I probably waited 15 minutes or so? Given the fact that there were 20 others ahead of me, that was not bad at all. [[HIGHLIGHT]]By the time you get your food, if you wanted to eat there, you could easily find a spot to slide to, to stand and eat[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Pepperoni pizza was delicious. Sauce is on the tangier/more acidic side, more tomatoey. and the pepperoni was great. Slight spice to it, but not as good as L'industries. Nonetheless, this slice was delicious. Hot, melty gooey cheese and lots of pepperoni overload. Crust is divine. I could just eat that by itself. Definitely a great bite whether on the go, drunk, or just because.

    Had several slices at Mama's TOO!, including the Angry Nonna, Cacio e Pepe, House Pie, and Upside Down pizza, and every single one was amazing! What makes their pizza special is the focaccia-style crust--super crispy on the bottom while staying incredibly soft and fluffy in the middle. The texture is just perfect and unlike most pizzas I've had before. The Angry Nonna was packed with flavor, the Cacio e Pepe was rich and cheesy, and honestly, all the slices were fantastic. Everything tasted fresh and well-made. Definitely worth the hype and absolutely worth a try if you're in New York. One of the best pizza spots we visited!

    Disappointed that this pizza place got so much hype, and felt it did not live up to my expectations. Long line out the door- which they did move QUICKLY (churning and burning)! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Crowded store but a few tables and a long bar (standing room only) along the back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered a slice of the "Angry Nonna" Detroit-style pizza- hot soppressata, mozzarella, Calabrian chili oil, and hot honey. The slice tasted like it lacked seasoning, and had been sitting out for awhile. ALL of the ingredients were dried out, as well as the crust. One bite and the bottom of the pizza was breaking apart into crumbs. Not impressed by this place and quickly moved onto the next.

    Line outside
    Andy P.

    Pizza here is fire. I have sampled 4 different locations in NY, and this is by far the best! Depending on when you visit, the line can be manageable, but during peak hours or holidays, expect to spend an hour or so before you can sink your jaw into this amazing flavor and texture profile. One of the biggest elements I like about my pizza is the crispy bottom. Mama delivers this consistently between their thicker slices and thin ones as well. Pizzas were topped with fresh cheese. House slice is a must. Based on what I have seen, it's best to call in and pre-order a whole pie. This will cut down the wait time and hassle. I've seen several people come in to pick up and share the entire box outside. Had I had more peeps with me, we would have executed this play. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside, your only chance for a table is by the wall. Everyone else is queued for food[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Enough reading.. go get a slice and never look back. Can't wait to visit them again.

    Chicken Al la vodka sub
    Michael S.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is small and you order at the counter.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There are a few tables inside. I was really excited to try this place. There is so much buzz around it. Unfortunately it did not live up to the hype. The sub was average at best. We also got to square slices, which are not pictured, the pepperoni and the pear. The crunch was real but it really was nothing special. It was really disappointing.

    Poached pear and pepperoni
    Becca S.

    We went as part of a self created pizza crawl. I did not expect this style pizza as one of the most popular in New York right now. The pepperoni was really good, but the poached pear was a little too out there. I get excited with different flavors, but this was a little too different for my taste. The sub was also not what I expected. They kept the chicken very crispy which is often not a thing with a drunken type sub, but it still wasn't my favorite. Overall, I'd say try it because it's different, but next time I'm in New York, I don't need to go back.

    Tracey P.

    I need to come back and try other flavors! The slices are fairly big and semi thick so it's hard to eat more than 2 but there's just so much more to try. Every slice I ordered were flavorful and had a crunch to every bite! I would def come back with a group of friends and order their sandwiches and other unique flavored slices

    Poached pear and house slice
    May L.

    Pizza was incredible but man this place is jammed! After ordering our poached pear square and house slice we sat at a bench across the street. As soon as we bit into our pizza we understood and if you've tried it you understand too. Service is almost militant but yeah this place has to churn out a lot of pizza. Would I make the line again? Yup. I love pizza, especially GREAT pizza. 10/10

    Cheesesteak
    James S.

    The food is delicious but it's always a zoo. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very crowded and loud inside, and it takes a long time to get your food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You have to eat it elsewhere because seating is very limited.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They didn't have any sausage pizza today which sucked. But the other options are good, like mushroom and cacio e pepe. I did get the much talked about cheesesteak and it was delicious. But sandwiches take much longer to come out than the pizza. Because of my antipathy to crowds, I can only come here once or twice a year.

    Raine P.

    The pizza was good--thick, satisfying, and flavorful--but not quite as amazing as the hype made it sound. We were lucky that the line wasn't too long when we arrived, which was a nice surprise. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is very small, with only two tables inside and a small standing area for those eating in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Unfortunately, the service really took away from the experience. They don't seem to have appropriate to-go containers for leftover pizza. We had three slices left, and the only option they offered was a large pizza box, which wasn't practical to carry around the crowded city, especially during the Pride Parade. When I asked if they had a smaller box, they simply stacked the slices on a flimsy paper plate and placed them in a brown paper bag. I even asked if I could have one of the sturdier sandwich trays to better protect the pizza and keep the grease from soaking through while carrying it in my bag, but I was told those were "only for sandwiches." We also had leftover chicken parmesan and asked for an extra plate, but they refused, saying we already had one. The whole experience came across as unnecessarily stingy and lacked basic customer service. For a popular pizza shop where many customers take food to go, I'd expect better packaging for leftovers. A simple, sturdy to-go box would make a big difference and prevent greasy slices from getting crushed or leaking through the bag. Unfortunately, I wouldn't go back. The pizza was decent, but it wasn't worth dealing with the poor customer service. There are better pizza spots in the city, like L'Industrie Pizzeria, where I've had a much better overall experience.

    Top: the Angry Nona, the Upside Down, and the vodka pizza. Bottom: the bruschetta and the buffalo chicken pizza.

    The lap cheong mala wrap alone is enough reason for me to come back…read more Bolo bao sandwiches seriously need to catch on in NYC, since they're quite common in Hong Kong. This was my first time seeing one with roasted duck though. Just a heads up that the street felt a bit sketchy even though it's near the edge of Chinatown. We were unfortunately harassed by someone outside of the store and ended up giving him a few dollar bills... *Chinese Sausage Mala Wrap $10 ** The lap cheong was spread so evenly throughout that I got some in almost every bite. The mala aioli was quite spicy, but not overpowering or lingering. The crispy shallots added such a nice crunch too which I loved! *Duck Tsangwich $16 I was quite surprised that the roast duck skin stayed crispy! The crackly cookie topping could've been thicker since it was pretty flat. They give you chili oil on the side, but it was already super flavorful with the hoisin sauce. Only thing I wished for was more cucumber and scallion to help balance out the richness.

    Pretty good. I wished it had a little bit *more* though. The Duck Tsangwich was really tasty, but…read morewhen I was done with it I was left thinking "that's it?" It was heavy on the duck, but actually a rather small sandwich, and with not that much room for any of the other toppings, so I didn't get a great sense of the mix of flavors. It kinda just felt like I was eating a bolo bao with some duck. Does that make sense? You know how a grilled cheese sandwich does not taste like eating bread and a piece of cheese, like how there's a special new thing that gets created when you make food that specific way? I didn't get that from this sandwich. It felt like I was eating two separate things in one bite instead of an interesting new thing. That's maybe too critical but the ingredients were really exciting, I just wish they were tuned differently.

Next visit, which will be my next visit to NYC, I intend to try the roast beef and turkey hero, extra lettuce, tomatoes, onions, hot peppers. Overall, I still rate 5/5. They do a fantastic job here.

    ((4.5 stars)) Sunny…read moreand Annie's is very much a 24/7 neighborhood gem of a corner store and deli. it's packed with packaged foods--candy, chips, cookies, ice cream, soft drinks, beer, and a lot more plus the deli counter serves ups an endless list of creative sandwiches. i am not going to say this place is cramped but it kinda is. for example, if people stand in the wrong areas of the store, it will cause a complete standstill of a traffic jam in the store. my advice: order from the deli (and stand somewhere people aren't trying to get to) or grab whatever you need, pay, and leave. this place is not a place to linger. keep it moving. anyway, the obvious draw of Sunny & Annie's is the endless list of sandwiches that are handwritten cards that are stuck outside glass of the deli counter. there is literally something for the pickiest eaters--from hot sandwiches, cold sandwiches, wraps, and more. some sandwiches are named celebrities, politicians, etc. i have ordered a bunch of different sandwiches and have not made it through much of the menu. you can also create your own Frankenstein monster of a sandwich. while the sandwiches are a big part of the draw, the insane amount of snack foods crammed into the store is quite remarkable from the large stand of Doritos, Takis, Cheetos and other popular branded snack foods in the front to the separate stand of Wise snacks to an entire back corner of the store filled with all kinds of chips, popcorn, etc. imo, Sunny's has the freshest-tasting Smartfood Cheddar Popcorn. i know an insane take consider it's a packaged popcorn snack from a megacorp (PepsiCo), but i'll die on this hill. maybe it's cause Sunny's sells a lot of Smartfood popcorn so it gets refreshed often, maybe they have a secret in/pipelinbe from the factory, or it's just magic/alchemy. i don't know, but the Smartfood Cheddar Popcorn never tastes stale-ish like it does at grocery stores, the bags never feel deflated because they have been on shelf long, and the popcorn never has that soft mouthy feel but still has the crunch to it. maybe it's just me, but Sunny's serves a great list of sandwiches...AND the freshest Smartfood Cheddar Popcorn. beyond the snacks, the service from the deli to cashier is upbeat and friendly. in all seriousness, Sunny and Annie's is an Avenue B institution at this point and remains a charming family-owned store--and is NOT a sterile modern clone of a neighborhood business.

    Huge sandwiches. Would recommend eating on a roll vs a wrap only because a wrap falls apart more…read moreeasily. Lots of flavors going on. Expected there to be a more accurate pho-palette, but the fusion is fun and appetizing nonetheless.
