Got the gluten free Margherita pizza on a sunday evening. It was pretty empty inside and I didnt have to wait long for the pizza. Theres a completely separate section to prep and cook the pizza in which makes this place celiac safe! I liked the pizza although I should have been more patient when taking a bite. Its literally fresh out of the oven so all of the cheese falls off. I do wish the underside wasnt so soft though. Next time i'd try one of the gf sandwiches read more

Much better than expected, pasta and garlic knots. Served in about 10 minutes. The worker seemed to be confused by the fact that I wanted both meat sauce AND meatballs and got ignored with me so I told him to forget the meatballs. Otherwise a positive experience read more

Excellent gluten-free options! Papi Pasta & Pizza has a dedicated gluten-free station, which made me feel confident dining here. The gluten-free meatball sandwich and pizza were both delicious and full of flavor. Great food, friendly service, and a fantastic option for anyone who is gluten-free or has celiac disease. Highly recommend! read more

I really enjoyed the Spicy Vodka pasta--it wasn't super spicy, but had a nice little kick, and the rigatoni was cooked perfectly al dente. I love their cheese wheel setup--only the Cacio e Pepe and Alfredo get the cheese wheel treatment, and you can see it all happening through the window by the kitchen. read more

We went out of our way to get to Papi's to try the Gluten Free options after seeing a Tik Tok video. We will be coming back! The pizza is not thin crust, but thick and fluffy and delicious. We also had the Caprese sandwich and the bread was soft and yummy, but the star was the arugula and basalmic. High quality ingredients all around and the staff is extremely friendly and up-beat. read more

Alright. The pizza didn't feel doughy, but that's personal preference. Nice location though, I just wasn't a fan of the way it seemed to have been cooked and it was pricey. read more

Passed by and saw the happy hour special..$6 wine...you actually get half bottle! Tried the square upside down grandma. Was just ok..I was a bit hungry after seeing broadway play. Even though the pizza was heated through the mozzarella wasn't melted and kind of rubbery. Sauce was decent and crust had a nice crunch...food 3, hh special 5, service 5 read more

Best pasta place in NYC. Incredible noodles, great price for how much you get, awesome atmosphere and employees. The service is fast and theres always a table open so it is very reliable. read more

8/10 pizza, main problem was the bad customer service. There wasn't too many customers but the workers just ignored us asking for takeout. The atmosphere was pretty good though. In total it's a 7/10 in my opinion. read more

I'm afraid to admit, but I like the pasta here a lot more than the pizza, but the pizza itself is also delicious. It's because the pasta is made fresh in the back, they have a good wide selection too choose from, and it's very affordable on average $15. Portions are good enough to fill you up, but not put you in a food coma. Definitely coming back here again for my pasta cravings! read more

If you're looking for a pizza spot in NYC that actually delivers on flavor and experience, Papi's Pizzas & Pasta is the one. They've got fresh pizza with the perfect crispy-chewy crust, house-made pasta spun in a giant cheese wheel right in the window (yes, you can watch it happen), and the most epic table-side pizza experience I've ever seen. The chef brings all the toppings, and makes your dream pizza right in front of you. It's hands-on, it's hot out the oven, and it's perfect for groups, birthdays, or just treating yourself.

The food was ok. I had the spicy rigatoni and asked for it to be made without the hot pepper. I wasn't expecting much so the taste was average for me. Obviously this is not Carbone level spicy rigatoni. But it gets the job done for a quick lunch in the area. Their website isn't updated and lists the pastas at $12. In person, the spicy rigatoni was $16.99 plus tax. For the taste, I don't think it's worth almost $20. You can have better pasta in a restaurant for $20 and up. I'd go back to try something else. The staff was nice, and they have a decent amount of seating available as well. read more

Unfortunately, the pasta was not al dente at all and tasted cheap. We would not recommend.

i just got the margarita pizza. service was kind and friendly and there was a decent amount of seating around so i would say if you want a pizza place where you can eat and hang with friends, i'd recommend this place. the pizza was good, nothing super special i would say there are better pizza places around new york i'd visit instead. read more

Lived in NY for 25 years and wanted a quick bite. Pizza tastes like it was heated up in a microwave, and it's severely overpriced . Don't eat here read more

Was looking for a quick and easy meal before hopping onto my bus back home. Seeing freshly made pasta hanging behind the window immediately caught my eye, so I decided I had to give it a shot. Immediately, I was impressed by the variety of pasta dishes and pizza slices to choose from! Not only that; for each pasta dish to be less than $20 is quite rare in NYC, especially its location in midtown manhattan. The tri-color square slice was surprisingly good! The bread itself was soft while having a crispy, browned bottom. The trofie pesto pasta was also quite tasty! Pasta was al dente, and the pesto tasted great! Honestly, this restaurant deserves more recognition; it's quick, convenient, and affordable as a pasta restaurant! read more

Pretty good pizza and pasta spot in Midtown, right near the train station. Pros are food is good and staff is nice. Cons are hefty prices.

Food was delicious! I got the Spaghetti and Meatballs, it was a good portion but a little expensive, definitely worth it though. Excellent service by the cashier read more

The food here is amazing! As someone who works nearby the speed and service is amazing. This is something that was truly missing to the area. The chicken Alfredo was so good, that I had to end up sharing with my coworkers as the smell was driving them feral. The staff was so accommodating and I can't wait to come back! read more

Decent stop for a slice! In the city, where you don't want to have a throw away meal, Papi's is a good choice. They have a large list of different variations of pizza including deep dish with a whole burrata on top with spicy honey, to the run of the mill NY style pizza. The bathroom was clean and so was the rest of the space. We were pretty surprised it was fairly empty on a Monday at noon because the pizza was delic. read more

I spent over $20 ($19 + tax and tip) on their stuffed fettuccini. The food didn't come out for twenty minutes. They just forgot, apparently. When I got it, it felt light. Opened it up and I only received eight pieces. Barely enough for an appetizer. And it tasted like garbage. What a ripoff! read more

Do not hesitate to come here! This place was everything I ever look for in a pizza. It was fresh, dough was delicious, it was loaded, cheesy, great variety, delicious! Perfect location. You can have your pizza with the view of the busy New York. Real NY experience Service was amazing! Quick and very friendly. Better than Joe's pizza that everyone is lining up for just to stand outside and eat. Come here instead and eat in great atmosphere and great food. I will definitely come here every time I come to NY! read more

Fantastic! Food and Employees! Some of the BEST pasta in the city! And I'm Italian!

Grabbed a late night slice here and was taken by surprise at how good it was. Definitely worth checking out.

Can't even give this restaurant a one star but had to, to add this review. First and last visit. Ordered a cheese slice and upon first bite realized crust was completely charred and inedible. Couldn't even return as was late to a meeting already. Truly disgusting and will never, ever go back. Should be ashamed of serving someone this. read more

A decent pizza joint in Manhattan that has a extensive menu from pizza in many variations, pasta dishes , chicken rolls , garlic knots , meatballs , potato croquettes, salads , etc. Room inside has enough space if you want to eat in but for me it's strictly take out and a couple of cheese slices with an order of garlic knots should hold me till dinner time or later . Overall good decent pizza shop on 37thst and 7th Ave that keeps it old school with it's pizza slices , 4 stars on my yelp meter. read more

Pizza and other options are over priced. $2 for 1 Garlic Knot. I'll say it again: $2 for 1 garlic knot. These people are cr4khed5 taking advantage of tourists that are dunn8 enough to fall for that. The M3xic44n guy behind the counter has some sort of nnent4l and behavioral problem. We walk up to the counter there is no one else in front of us and he is scratching himself and mumbling something about Maria. Turr3775 syndrome with a peppering of special sauce. To the owner of this place. Check your cameras and send some test customers in... Fire the r3374rd! To customers considering pizzas go somewhere else but not the 99 cent pizza place. Run like hell! read more

The fresh pasta hanging in the window drew me in. I tried the fettuccine bolognese and it was delicious! The pasta and bolognese tasted homemade. The fettuccine had a good bite to it. The bowl of pasta for $15 is very reasonably priced. I wished I would have tried the pizza and some of the other pasta dishes. The staff was friendly. The restaurant was clean, well lit and has ample seating. Will definitely visit this place again whenever I'm back in NYC. read more

Worst service I've received in a long time. Attendant with awful attitude. Bare bones ambiance. Food is commensurate with the price.

Came after a rangers game... as I was walking to hold a seat with my girls, my bf was waiting in line and a worker approached me asking me what I was doing twice??? All we were doing was sitting down patiently and I also didn't appreciate how he kept staring at us as if he had a problem. Pizza was not great at all. weird behavior.. happened on 03/09/2025 around 9PM. We didn't feel welcomed at all read more

Eh, went again a few months later and I can definitely say ownership has changed hands since my last visit in March. What once was a bright, modern, inviting storepost now has dim, tacky lighting and icky plastic tablecloth. Prices have changed considerably (by a few dollars for slices and entrees) as well. Service was slow, though not at the fault of the servers, people were confused with ordering and the drink refrigerator is past the cash register so people take forever not only deciding on what to order, but what to drink as well. The layout of the store is terrible, they built this countertop near the register that blocks all the foot traffic in - when there's long lines, people are bumping into each other left and right: the people ordering, waiting for their food, standing in line, and getting their drinks near the drink fridge - everyone is in everyone's way and it makes things chaotic and less efficient. I'd gladly walk around the corner to the next pizza place just to avoid this kind of chaos...The food is the same quality as before, but now not worth the price, it's just trying to justify the price markup with tacky lighting, terrible decor and adding a cheese wheel... read more
