Better than Most My family, at one time or another, have eaten at all Pizzerias/Italian restaurants in our town and neighboring towns. All were very good. We discovered Mazzofiato about a year gone. This pizzeria/restaurant surpasses all the others we've been to. They offer a typical diverse menu always served hot. The sauce used seems to taste better. The staff is always accommodating and friendly. If you want extra sauce, they'll provide it. The restaurant is always clean and the atmosphere pleasant. Take-out service is prompt with home delivery available via third-partly. I have no reservations giving a five-star rating. If you're in the neighborhood, please stop in and meet their staff. I'm certain you won't be disappointed. read more

What an amazingly delicious pizzeria serving some incredibly mind blowing pizzas. Their upside down vodka is a show stopper, I would drive an hour just to eat this slice but when every other slice looking equally as incredible, this drive would be a no brainer. One of my favorite pizzeria's period. Such friendly customer service and large dining area to enjoy these great creations. Highly highly recommend if you love Pizza. FYI regular slice is amazing as well as all the other flavor options. read more

Mozzafiato Pizzeria - Eggplant pizza - Italian Near Me - Centereach, New York

One of the best pizza places in Suffolk County. Nice counter with many specialty slice options. The staff is friendly & the pizzeria is clean. I'm more of a plain cheese guy which was excellent, more so than a fancy pizza person but they have the best looking gourmet pizzas around. I want to try them all. Next up, the artichoke slice! read more

I ordered the chicken Parmigiana dinner and am so disappointed,every piece of chicken was tough, also ordered side of meatballs and they were not good either,years ago the food was so good so what happened? Even the mozzarella cheese was tough.. read more

This is the best pizza place in this area. They have the usual regular and white pizzas. It they also make some pretty unusual pizzas like one with chicken and coleslaw and pickles, it was actually pretty good. Their slices are huge as well. I don't go here often cause I don't live in the area but when I am nearby this is the pizza place to go to. read more

Nice variety of slices. I tried the regular slice and the capellini cake. Regular slice was crispy and still fresh for being the only slice left before the next fresh regular pie I saw sitting out. Cheese and sauce were delish. Not burnt or charred on the bottom. They tried to charge for a cup of sauce with the capellini cake. I declined because of the fee, because let's be honest, how can you charge for something that should be automatically with the dish? However they gave it to me anyway, which was nice. They have Italian sodas and that let me know I was in a good place. Will definitely be back if in the area and craving a slice. read more

Easily my new favorite pizzeria! The regular pie w/ pepperoni is everything I could ever want in a slice, just perfection. The sauce is the best I've had. I try to grab a specialty slice when I'm there to pickup because those are also fire! There was a pesto, pepperoni and (hot?) honey slice, wow, that was a treat. Really looking forward to that tri-color sauce I saw once as well. Can't go wrong here, definitely my new go to spot! These folks are clearly passionate about making great pizza. We ordered a salad once as well and that was easily the best salad I've gotten in a while. I'm sure their other food is equally awesome and we're excited to explore more of their menu! 10/10!! read more

Wow, one of the best pizzas I've had on the island in a long time! Since I no longer live in NY, I miss some of the great pizza I had growing up. Whenever I have a chance to return, I am always seeking a great pie, and this was very good. There is a large variety of both round and square slices available with both traditional and unusual toppings. While they looked great, my first order at a new spot is a basic large cheese pie. Ours was piping hot with perfect crust and delicious sauce and cheese. They seem to have a brisk takeout business, but they do have a few booths and tables in the shop where you can sit and eat as well. Our order was baked quickly and the staff was friendly, and the restaurant was clean. I did note that they charge about 3.75% for using a credit card, which seems to be more and more common on LI. Personally not a fan of added fees when dining out. Who wants to carry large amounts of cash when going to a restaurant? read more

The people who run this place, are SO so difficult to deal with. Rude, difficult, ego maniacal owner/manager with an attitude problem. He would rather argue than make it right. Bad business practices and no regard for hospitality or customer experience. Bad experience #1 I ordered shrimp scampi and asked to add sautéed broccoli. Pretty much the most simple request. Especially since they already have a penne broccoli dish?? Any Italian restaurant would do this without blinking. They had to "ask the manager" about it like they always do if any little thing is deviated or added. I'm sure bc the Micro Manager has told them any changes need to be run past him. Then told me they wouldn't be able to do it unless I ordered an entire order of broccoli... for $9! Really just stupid. Like just throw some broccoli in my pasta jeeez. You wanna upcharge a couple bucks? Sure. Telling me they are INCAPABLE of producing a shrimp scampi plus broccoli dish is so beyond ridiculous. And saying it will "confuse the chef" is so silly. Horrible experience #2 Received horribly burnt, inedible slices of pizza which we discovered after coming home. When I called to tell them and asked to have them replaced "manager" dude made a HUGE deal about it, didn't want to take responsibility, and ended up HANGING UP on me after repeatedly patronizing me, trying to somehow make it my fault that HE burnt the pizza bc I "didn't call sooner"?? Tell me ANY OTHER pizza place that wouldn't just *immediately* apologize and give you fresh slices. Ill wait. All this over a couple slices of pizza?? Wild. We are local and ordered from this place at least once a week. We have always loved the food. And recommended them to people. But MAN does the customer service suck. Mostly that manager guy tho. He's the actual problem it's very clear. They need to replace that "manager" with some who actually likes people a little bit and knows how to handle customers. read more

Incredibly disappointing that they don't take orders past 8pm on Friday nights. Would've loved to try them. read more

Mozzafiato Pizzeria - Italian Near Me - Centereach, New York

"One bite, everyone knows the rules - David Portnoy" What rules? Who makes these rules, a guy who grew up in Boston? People are obsessed with this guy, who made him the authority? I travel a lot for my job and have tried many different pizza styles. Believe it or not, I had a "mustard" pizza in New Jersey. (It was gross) Dave gave a place in New Jersey a 9.4. I tried this place as well, anything with a crunch Dave loves... I have two pizza lists, one for Long Island and one for the best pizza. Mozzafiato Pizzeria is charting at the top 3 on both lists. And don't tell me L&B or Di Faras! Dom is no longer with us (rest in peace) and when was the last time you were at L&B? Sit back and relax, let's get this review started. My wife and I walk in on a busy friday night. As a kid I worked in Mamma Lombardis, Mozzafiato Pizzeria is not as busy when I worked there as a teenager but trust me, there will be a wait. Mozzafiato Pizzeria has a small dining area with two large tables and few outdoor tables. There are three signs: Order. Pay. Take Out. My plan is to order an entire pizza and bring home the leftovers. I'm waiting about 10 minutes on the Order line and when we reach the counter, the gentleman behind the counter tells me that dine in whole pies are at the other register. Not a problem, I walk over, place my order for a Margarita pizza with an Arugula salad, I grab a Peroni and patiently wait. My pizza comes to the table. Piping hot and right out of the oven. There's no need to even bite it yet. I see the bottom crust is perfect, the quality of the cheese is showing and trust me, it smells amazing. My wife splits up the salad, I serve her a very large slice of pizza. We each take a bite. Both of us look at each other but not say anything. We are witnessing pizza at the top of its game. It's a quality, New York style pizza, I know I ordered the upscale Margarita compared to the traditional neapolitan 8 slice but if you're going to try a new place, show me your best. And Mozzafiato Pizzeria brought it last night. I also ordered a Capellini Cake? Perfection. Pure perfection. Tiny pieces of Angel Hair pasta and cheese formed into a square the size of a Knish. Italian style baby! The best pizza on Long Island? It's in my top 3 for sure. Now here's the thing about a David Portney review, I dined at the Jersey spot he reviewed. I waited twenty minutes for Mozzafiato Pizzeria? If Dave came here and gave a 9.1 there would be at least a two hour wait. I went to Sachem around the corner, this is now my little neighborhood spot. Let's keep it between us ok? Dave? You left your mansion in the Hamptons to try a few Long Island pizza spots, I feel you judged them unfairly. Mister, I am the Yelp pizza Pope. This might be your church, right now I'm the Pope of Greenwich Village with this review. read more

This place is legit. Pizza selection is fresh, tasty, and made with great ingredients (Grande cheeses for example). Chicken parm hero on point, to say the least. Excellent Cesear salad. Staff was great, even though they were busy, treated me like gold. Can't wait to head there again. GB read more

Wow Best pizza I ever had since moving to Suffolk county. Blown away and been wanting to come here for a while and was in the neighborhood so I stopped on in, and glad I did. I order a buffalo chicken slice, regular Sicilian, speciality upside down slice, and a chicken roll. Chicken rolls are made fresh which I loved and was about a 12 minute wait but didn't mind because I prefer a fresh chicken over a chicken roll that been out since the morning. Drove home to deer park from center reach and the food was out of this world ! Best pizza I had in the 3 years of living on the island. They specialize in artisan pizza like tagglio in Mineloa and I love that. The quality in the dough and pizza is top notch and highly recommend this place. Prices are a lil steep for pizza my opinion but you get what you pay for. This ain't your typical Long Island mediocre pizza! 3 slices and a chicken roll cost 30 bucks but I guess that's normal with inflation so I can't complain. Overall, the pizza here is A1 and look forward to buying fresh pies next time cause the food here is great and look forward to coming back. read more

I've heard rumblings about this place on Facebook groups and TikTok and thought I would give it a try. The first pie I got was a tad too burnt but the sauce and crust was really good and thought it was a bad pie so I refrained from rating. I then ordered again a week later and was happy the bottom wasn't that burnt. It was really good. I'm not a huge fan of crusts but this pizza had a really good crust. Their garlic knots were great, a little spicy and peppery which I enjoyed but my kids didn't like it due to the spiciness. I also ordered their capellini cake, which tasted similar to a rice ball but with pasta instead of rice. It was fantastic. Luckily I asked for sauce when I picked up because otherwise it didn't come with it or they forgot to put it in. Otherwise, a great pizzeria with a lot of specialty pies. Pricing is a little higher than nearby places ($20 for a cheese pie). read more

This place has gone downhill since they have no nearby competitor. They used to be a friendly neighborhood place, knew your name and your order, and offered a personal touch. the service, quality, and consistency have dropped while the prices peaked. Better off making your own pizza or driving a bit further than going here. read more

Some of the best Pizza on the Island. Have tried several in the area and none come close. Crust cooked to perfection, toppings applied in just the right proportions make for a great tasting experience. I have traveled to Naples and have tried some of the best, Mozzafiato is a very close second. read more

Great food! Came in on a Friday afternoon and then came back in the evening for seconds. Great service, attentive, answered my questions, and good environment for casual sit-down experience. Got some things to-go they had prepped/on display that they heated up in the oven (quick, ~5min): 1.) Capellini cake with side of marinara. This is a fried cake composed of cheese/angel hair pasta. Haven't had it before, delicious, should try! 2.) Eggplant parmesean sicilian style. A highlight for me, the crust and bottom was perfectly nice and crispy complementing the topping that was composed of soft breaded eggplant and thick slices of mozzarella with marinara and basil sauce. 3.) BBQ chicken slice. Really great taste with probably the most solid and plentiful cubed chicken breast pieces, more generous with meat than average. 4.) Chicken calzone, delicious with a good chicken portion. 5.) White slice, very solid. read more

Had a variety of slices and some knots. The Margherita was really good. The buffalo chicken blue cheese sauce was a little sweet for me. The white pizza slice was on point. We like our garlic knots juicy and half ours were. The others were more "dry" yet still tender. Flavor on knots was outstanding. Will definitely return when I'm back on Long Island. It looks like they use sautéed spinach so next time I'm getting a spinach and ricotta pie. Wife really liked the Nashville hot chicken square. read more

Well I had already was eating the garlic knots. When they pulled out a White pie. If I tell you heaven had just placed the tastiest more delicious white slice I've ever had on place. You would never believe it. I'll be back tomorrow. read more

The pizza here is delicious! We ordered a cheese pie, garlic knots and a few specialty slices and all of them were so good. The pizza came out very quickly so we didn't have to wait long, which was awesome considering we were there with our three small children.

This is the best pizza in Suffolk County NY by far. They call it Roman style pizza. All their pizza is great from their chicken, à la vodka pie to their corn beef, Reuben pie with coleslaw and Russian dressing. Their entries are also terrific Their chicken Parmesan ala vodka entrée is fabulous. Their fettuccine Bolognese and their fettuccine Alfredo is spectacular. Will no longer eat pizza anywhere but here.and If I want a very good pasta dish this is your place Sit back, relax and enjoy the food whether you eat it there or take it home. read more
