    Sausage Pepper Sandwich
    Zack W.

    Mela pizza is a charming corner stop, manned by one of the friendliest staff I've had the pleasure of interacting with in recent memory. I opted for the hero sandwich, although they also served pizzas (as they're known for) and calzones. I overall had a nice experience, and would definitely stop by again when I'm in the neighborhood. It's decent food, at a decent price.

    Cheese Slices
    Ari R.

    Sleeper spot on Astoria. Incredible crust and cheese and sauce ratio. Astoria has some great pizza but this is in the convo for best in the neighborhood. Some of the best in the city places people talk about aren't as good as this hidden slice.

    Pretty good pizza. The sauce us slightly sweet in a beautiful way with a hint of garlic. Crust us crunchy and soft. The cheese is stretch with a chewy bite. They also make borek here but was still being made as I was leaving. Very friendly staff. Will be back to try their different topping pizzas. Mera's Tip: have a slice

    Have NEVER gotten a bad looking pie from here. Pictured: white pizza. Fresh out the oven.

    STILL OPEN DURING THIS COVID-19 CRISIS! And STILL fire flames pizza. Very good neighborhood shop that is most likely hurting because of this craziness. Support your local dining establishments!

    Pizza! Extra cheese
    Jessica O.

    This is a pretty good pizza spot. The regular slice sauce has a nice kick to it, a sweet kick but not over barring. The place is also clean which is always necessary, it's also a small spot but if you're looking for a quick bite this is perfect for that. The service is quick so you won't have a long wait. Definitely check it out if you're in the neighborhood and craving good pizza.

    Mozzarella sticks and garlic knots.

    I have stopped in a few times, well almost everytime, I walk home from the 30th Street stop. I have a feeling they have been getting more foot traffic now that the Astoria Blvd stop is closed and people like me want a little nourishment before their trek home. I enjoy their plain cheese slice deal (2 slices and a soda for 5 or 6 dollars). Tonight I went in and sat out the rain while munching on mozz sticks and garlic knots. As a mozz stick lover, I was disappointed by the stretch, so that's why 4 out of 5 stars. But good slices and friendly staff ensure I'll be back! Since they are owned by the same folks who own the upscale Trattoria Ora, I'd suggest adding some their phenomenal desserts to the pizza place. That would be 5 star worthy!

    Ordered this last night and that's how it came. Never again

    Ordered this last night and this is how it came. Never again Disgusting not even my dog ate it

    All around the best pizzeria you can find. The service is great and the workers are very hospitable. The food is delicious and come at affordable deals/prices. Even the music they play is awesome! My favorite is the vodka sauce pizza. Mela Pizza House cannot be matched. Highly recommend!

    Burnt Knots :(
    Nabeela A.

    I love the pizza here but when it comes to delivery is not always the best. I was so surprised when I saw the order of my garlic knots so burnt. If you are taking something out of the oven and you see the item totally burnt please don't deliver it. I hate to write a negative review on you guys. Overall, I will most probably have pizza from here again but maybe not the knots.

    Meat Lover Pizza + eggplant parm pizza
    Alice R.

    Awesome corner pizza spot, probably one of the best places to grab a slice in Astoria. Wide array of flavors, so far the Margherita and eggplant parm are my favorite. They have a great pizza special that runs all day: 2 regular slices and a soda for $5 and 2 special slices and a soda for $7. Will be back to try their pasta at some point.

    Just your average pizza spot, nothing crazy. Quick bite off the train. I wasn't a huge fan of the Sicilian slice though.

    MILKFLOWER: I CAME FOR PIZZA... THEN HAD TO COME BACK FOR MORE…read more Saturday night in Astoria, I pulled up to Milkflower thinking I was just grabbing dinner. Rookie mistake. This place had other plans. Started with the wood-roasted octopus -- russet potatoes, shallots, Kalamata olives & dill. Packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. Then came the roasted meatballs with tomato sauce, garlic bread, Parmesan & basil. Classic comfort food, but that wood-fired flavor gave it a serious upgrade. Then came the Local 82 -- tomato, sausage, speck, spicy soppressata, garlic & jalapeño. Bold, spicy, smoky... basically everything I want on a pizza. And the staff? Fantastic. They actually took the time to explain every dish, which made the whole experience even better. Now here's where things got ridiculous... I came back THE NEXT DAY. Why? Because Saturday night, I watched everybody around me ordering the Stun Dunn and talking about how incredible it was. So naturally, I had to investigate. ‍ Caramelized onion, Gruyère, scallion, red onion & mozzarella. They weren't exaggerating. OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD. Smart conclusion: When an entire room of strangers recommends the same pizza, you can either trust the crowd... or be stubborn and miss out. I chose the responsible adult decision: I came back the next day and ordered it. Milkflower didn't just earn a spot on my Astoria food list -- it earned a return visit in less than 24 hours. That's not dinner. That's evidence. #Milkflower #AstoriaQueens #AstoriaEats #QueensFoodie #NYCFoodie #PizzaLovers #NeapolitanPizza #WoodFiredPizza #NYCPizza #FoodieInTheBigApple #QueensEats #NYCFood

The atmosphere is cozy, elegant, and perfect for a date night or dinner with friends. The food was absolutely outstanding--everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared.

    Ive lived in Astoria practically my whole life yet never been to Vite. It off 31st ave on 34th…read morestreet and for some reason ive never ventured there. While deciding where to go one day, this was suggested and im so glad I went. The restaurant is cozy with tables inside the main dining room and in an enclosed outdoor seating area. Im guessing it opens in the summer. I sat down with my niece while waiting for my sister and for a good 5-7 minutes, no one stopped by and gave a menu nor offered water. Finally after about 3 people walked by not saying anything, someone came. The area is not that big and 7 minutes isnt that long but to sit there any not be addressed by all the staff walking by was annoying. Finally my sister came and we were offered water and a menu. After hearing about the specials and asking for recommendations, we settled on the gnocchi (housemade potato gnocchi, burrata, peas, pesto sauce, toasted pine nuts), Pappardelle alla Bolognese (housemade ribbon pasta, meat sauce), and side of sautéed spinach. The food arrived and we were pleasantly delightful by the main. The gnocchi was so soft and creamy, the sauce was delicious. Im not a fan of gnocchi but this was so good. The papardelle was my meal and it was also so good. There was a lot of pasta and a good amount of meat sauce. It was also delicious. The spinach on the other hand was bland. It has no flavor and we had to add some salt. A few times we tried to call someone over to our table but felt like no one was paying attention. When we were done with our meals, my sister had a few pieces of gnocchi left. She asked for a box as it was to be my nieces lunch for tomorrow. I then said, can you also box up the spinach. A few minutes later, the server dropped off a bag with one container and said here's the spinach. We tried to call his attention but he was already walking away. Where was the gnocchi. Finally when we came back, we asked about it and he said oh I thought it was garbage. I said no we asked for it to be boxed. He said let me talk to the kitchen. He came back and said sorry, they cant do anything but one dessert will be on me. I guess thats fine but we more wanted the food for the baby. For dessert we ordered a tiramisu and pistachio gelato. The tiramisu was in a jar as opposed to a cake slice. One bite of the ice cream and I knew it was bad. It was grainy and sandy texture. I looked up why that would be and one reason stated it could be improper storage, like it was unfrozen or melted then refrozen. I wasn't chancing that. I told the server and said I couldn't eat it. He offered another dessert but I said know, then offered a limoncello shot. While I appreciate the offer, we weren't drinking before so that wasn't the best option to offer. I just said im fine without a replacement. When we got the bill, the dessert was taken off like he said he would. We paid and left. Overall the main course/pasta meals were delicious. The sides and desserts could use work. Service was alright. Id definitely come back for the food and to try some of the pizza.

The walls also resemble subway tiles that feels like an extension of the lower level of Grand Central's oyster bar. The food was really satisfying, hearty southern Italian style pasta and pizza. The red sauce is more tangy than sweet, which I appreciate. The pasta is good, and the free bread is top notch. The prices are fair given the large portion size. The service is prompt, and the waiter will make recommendations if asked. And the ambiance is unique and interesting (see the first paragraph).

Our server was very attentive, friendly, and on top of everything throughout the meal. No complaints there at all. As for the food, it was honestly very lackluster. The best thing we had all night was the small original pizza, which I actually really enjoyed. The crust and flavor on that were solid. Unfortunately, the spaghetti with marinara sauce was a huge disappointment. At $22 just for the pasta, plus an additional $4 for ONE meatball, I expected so much more. It ended up being a $26 plate of pasta that, in my opinion, had almost no flavor. I kept wanting seasoning, salt, garlic -- something to make it stand out. It was just very bland. My husband ordered the polenta starter with shiitake mushrooms and bolognese sauce, which was okay, but nothing memorable. For the three food items, one cappuccino, and a sparkling water, the bill came to about $110 with tip. For that price point, I expected to leave impressed, especially after hearing the hype. Sadly, this just wasn't a place I'd personally return to. I truly wanted to enjoy it more.
