    Margherita Pizza
    Samantha D.

    Made a reservation a few days ahead of time, but there wasn't really a need to as there were seats available as we went in on a Thursday night. Ordered three pizzas to be shared among five people, and it was more than enough. Crust was soggy. It couldn't hold up the cheese and sauce. It was a little gummy due to all the moisture. The end of the crust were okay because it wasn't soaked. Margherita was good, a classic. Soppressata picante wasn't really spicy at all. I liked the cremini mushroom. It was a white pie. I liked that there was saltiness from the olives. The mozzarella had a lot of moisture because the crust was also soggy. It's decently priced as it was less than $20 per person after tax and tip. It was very filling as well just wasn't the best slice I've had in NYC.

    Very small $12 Tiramisu

    The best cold pizza in Manhattan. I have never once had pizza from here that was warm, much less hot. So maybe it is supposed to be cold. We are less than a mile away, and the delivery guy takes about tem minutes maximum. I do wonder what it tastes like warm. Oh and it is such a privilege to get a tiny piece of Tiramisu for $12. Before January 2020 prices were lower and portions were bigger.

    Margherita - light and crisp

    Such a cute little pizza place. We went early on a Friday and was able to get a table. We tried 3 pizzas and their meatball appetizer. Definitely would recommend pizza.

    You know the pizzas are legit when you can see the domed pizza oven through the window. Motorino is a small restaurant but it has a very inviting warmth to it. It feels like a very familiar setting although I've never set foot in the place. I was able to place my takeaway order in person and leave within minutes. The cremini mushroom pie is packed with flavor. Where to begin? They are generous with the mushrooms as I was using every ounce of my dexterity to prevent the mushrooms from falling off the slice. It had perfect amount of salinity and sausages and the olives were not overwhelming. This is definitely one of my favorite mushroom pizzas in New York. It is definitely pricier than the other mushroom pizzas in the vicinity but you get what you pay for here.

    It's been years since I went to the original Motorino in Brooklyn and today we were near the East Village one and decided to go in and have their lunch special. It was very quiet (it's right before Christmas) but we didn't feel uncomfortable in an almost empty restaurant. The room is very nicely done, it's very 'East Village', long and narrow, clean and bright with the pizza oven at the back. Service was excellent, staff were very accommodating and friendly. The lunch deal is a green salad with any pizza for $17. It's a very good deal. The green salad was a good one, a variety of fresh leaves, nicely dressed and a generously sized portion. The pizzas are excellent. The dough is light and soft, the ingredients are high quality, with very good mozzarella, meats, fresh herbs etc. They taste like pizza I have had in Italy. Motorino is my new favorite pizza spot. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and they have deals not only on lunch but on takeout (currently 'buy two, get three'). Highly recommend for the food and it's a cute spot for a date night too!

    I've been craving pizza this week and instead of ordering in, I wanted it fresh out of the oven, so I stopped by Motorino's in person end of day. I ordered roasted artichoke to start and a cherrystone clam pizza. The artichoke was delicious. The capers and lemon vinaigrette paired perfectly. It was pretty meaty. I'd order this again in a heartbeat. The clam pizza however was a bust. It was swimming in juice and was very soggy. They offered to remake it but I was already done with a slice and getting full. I thought when I bring it home, pop it in the oven and crisp it up, it'll be better. On the walk home I started feeling nauseous and my stomach was uneasy. I don't think I'll eat the leftover pizza..I'm afraid that was the culprit. I was feeling really good until then and wanted to come back to try more but not sure anymore. Bummed about this experience.

    Margherita Pizza
    Rehnuma K.

    1/1 Ambience; 1/2 Food; 1/1 Service; 1/1 Value Motorino is a really charming and welcoming Italian restaurant that is great for casual dates or a nice get together with friends or family. This is brick oven pizza, and the kitchen is open so you can see your pizza being prepared and fired. The restaurant is maintained nicely, and the staff is warm, friendly, and quick. We went for a weekend lunch and we were seated quickly despite it being somewhat busy. My friend and I both got the margherita ($20). The crust and undercarriage were light and blistery the way I prefer it, but the flavors fell short being rather bland. The pizza, however, tasted fresh in terms of ingredients and served hot from the oven. Overall, it was a nice experience in a cute restaurant with friendly staff serving up pizza at a good value taking their large portion sizes into account.

    Margherita Pizza and Pugliese Pizza
    Kyle M.

    Food: one of my favorite pizza places in the city. Get their margarita and skip the pugliese. The meatballs also should not be missed. Service: good service, with nice, quick, and friendly servers. Ambiance: simple restaurant with a good number of tables and typically room for walk ins without waiting. This is a bit more upscale than some pizza places. Good place to come to sit and eat a good quality pizza.

    Margherita

    Arguably the next pizza in the neighborhood, the margarita is my personal favorite, literally only minutes to come out piping hot out of their fabulous oven!

    One bite everyone knows the rules. 7.3 a very solid Neopalitan pizza. They have a good price for a lunch special for a pizza and a pie

    Amatriciana Pizza
    Chris B.

    Really great spot in EV for a delicious Neapolitan style pizza. It's small inside but very cozy and their staff are always very friendly. Don't overthink it too much, pizza is the way to go here. I'd say if you're hungry you can take down one of the pies yourself. Love the meatball and amatriciana pizzas. The dough is perfect for a Neapolitan pizza, has a good chew, a little crisp, and is thin without being too floppy.

    Meatball Pizza
    Josh R.

    Pretty good brick oven pizza! Not the most amazing pizza I've ever had, but it hit the spot. I ordered the Meatball pizza. The pizzas are big, so you could probably split one with someone if you aren't starving. This place is in a nice area.

    Joe's Pizza is famous pizza spot around NYC. It is know for its quintessential NYC pizza slice of…read morethin crust. This location was super busy and there was a line outside the door, even at midnight on a Thursday. However, the line did move quickly inside. There are not any chairs inside, just bar tables to stand around, although there did seem to be a small table with a few chairs outside. Some of the bar tables had shakers with extra chili flakes or parmesan. The pizza slice gets put into their oven to be warmed to the crisp (if it has been left out for a while), so I would say that the service was excellent for that consideration. My friends and I shared a slice of the Supreme. It was SO good! I had heard this was an overrated spot, but the taste of the onions and sausage on a thin and crispy crust was fantastic. It was pretty large in size and could be shared with others. I would definitely come back to try their other pizza slices. Very solid spot to me.

Iconically known as the workplace of Peter Parker in the original Spider-Man movie, I knew it was mandatory to pay a visit during a very Spider-Man focused weekend. Now I'm sure there are cheaper slices available elsewhere - these range about $5-6 per slice, but they're really delicious. I'm a big fan of the thin crust and simple yet yummy toppings. We went 2 times during our trip - first ordering 2 pepperoni and later a Caprese, White, and Supreme. They were all great, but my favorite was the classic pepperoni. If you're going with a group of more than 2 people and don't all mind getting the same flavor, I recommend waiting in line next door - which is where they sell by the pie only. Both lines move relatively quickly, but some times are definitely more popular than others (weekend nights). You can honestly expect minimal eating space because there's so many people trying to be in there, but we got lucky and were able to eat at one of the countertops on the side. They also have additional seasonings available such as parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, and chili flakes. Definitely willing to come back next time I'm near Times Square!

I understand that this spot gets busy, but I spotted a few empty tables while we were seated... If anything, I just wished our server checked in on us periodically instead of ignoring us the whole time. I was literally glancing around at every corner trying to find our pizzas every few minutes. We got the an 18 inch pizza with half Tie Dye (which is what they are known for) and half Honey Pie. The crust is pretty good; very thin and crispy with the right amount of char. I thought that the Tie Dye was solid. The mozzarella and pesto definitely added a great flavor combination to each bite. Sadly, the Honey Pie was a bit of a let down. It has spiced honey but there was no kick to the slice at all. Moreover, I thought that there way too much tomato sauce on the pizzas for my liking. Overall, I do not think that Rubirosa lived up to the hype. I would probably rate this restaurant a 3.75/5 if I could. However, I would be down to try it again in the future.

Unlike many of it contemporaries, it never expanded beyond this one spot. My wife and I had to try it, and found the whole experience to be great. They don't serve slices here, so was important to get a sit-down table for our lunch. We arrived around noon (30 minutes after its opening at 11:30). There was a set-up outside for a line, but there was nobody waiting so we peeked inside to get someone's attention. We were immediately seated, with both the host and server being friendly and approachable. Tap water was brought for us, and we ended up ordering the only beer on tap, a peroni for $9.12. PIzzas come in two sizes: 14" ($23) and 16" ($25) for cheese. We added half sausage (+$3.25) and half pepperoni (+$3.25), and extra cheese (+$5.50). We had a view of the coal-oven and the two pizzaiolo who were manning (one who was making, and one who was baking). The pizza came out soon after and it was very good, served hot. The extra cheese was overkill, making it difficult to eat by hand since the molten cheese kept on falling off.
