This is the 2nd time l have ordered from this restaurant since l moved to St James. And l had it delivered. First off, both times they delivered they were fast and efficient and the delivery person was happy, polite and had a smile on his face. And he accepted his tip graciously. I ordered baked ziti, a side of meatballs and a conoli. The ziti was positively delicious and they even put ricotta in it, a fav of mine! The meatballs were firm and large and very nicely seasoned swimming in delicious sauce. And last but not least the conoli. l haven't tasted it yet but l imagine it is sweetly scrumptious and it was presented as it might have been ordered when you're inside and sitting down in the restaurant! They added whipped cream all around and sprinkled chips on top! It is evident that they care about what they create and present and the care about their customers. I am a new and solid customer. This is a terrific restaurant! You won't be disappointed! Order from here!! Emmylou. PS. Just tasted the conoli!!! It wasn't whipped cream as l had thought, it was more conoli cream!! And as l said before, sweetly scrumptious! read more

If this was upstate and not LI, it would be OK. But it isn't, and it's not. Pizza Meh. Salads sad. You can do better.

Food was meh but their over- the-top pro- Trump paraphernalia of posters, signs, hats, toys and what ever other they decided to stuff in entrance way was enough to make me sick before I started eating. What a disgusting greeting and an obnoxious way to start a business / client relationship. I'm not looking for an aggressive attitude w/ a facist racist vibe in a nice community like this. Keep your yourself. read more

I hit up Caligiuri's for the 9-millionth time last night. It is SUCH a great deal. Here's the run-down: Me: Iced Tea (unsweetened), Seafood Bisque, Lasagna, Garlic Knots Her: Iced Tea (unsweetened), Pasta Fagioli, Garlic-Broccoli-Mushroom Whole Wheat Penne, Garlic Knots. Food is consistently good here. It's probably 3 star good, to be sure there's better Italian food on Long Island, but there's no freakin way you're gonna get as much food for so little, and there's no way it will be as consistently good. The seafood bisque is just loaded with chunks of crab, fish, and lobster. I mean like there's barely any cream sauce in there, it's all protein. The lasagna is FREAKING MASSIVE. I kid you not, I ate 1/3rd of it. And it tastes great. The rest is residing in my fridge at home and will be my dinner tonight, and I couldn't be happier about that. Same thing with her pasta - lunch/dinner for later! All the above food came to less than $30. Insane. The garlic knots at Caligiuri's are some of the best in Suffolk County. And you don't even pay for them!!! Another great thing - it's a family owned establishment and they're good people. Many times I'd be returning home late from a work trip, and I'd call Patio Pizza and they'd stay open a few extra minutes to provide me with a phenomenal meatball parm hero, which always hits the spot. Without considering price, I'd probably drop 3-stars on them. But when you think value, those 3-stars is really 3.5 and worthy enough of a rounding-up. So four it is. Can't wait for my next meal here. read more

Worst pizza in the area. I would rather have a frozen pizza. Last time I had a chicken parmasean dinner, the chicken was rubbery. There is no skill in their kitchen. DO NOT EAT THERE. read more

The food and service is top notch! We've been eating here for years and have never been disappointed. The old fashioned customer service that is taken by the family is terrific! A really community treasure. read more

Meh. Food is meh, service sucks. We ordered pizza, chicken parm and a small salad. Pizza was chewy, cheese congealed. So many better Italian places locally. read more

The pizza here is decent, but when we've ordered other foods they have been mediocre. Their baked ziti is nothing compared to our old favorite place in Northport, and maybe I got a "bad" batch of garlic knots when I ordered them, but they were stale and flavorless. The worst experience I've had here and the reason for the 2-star rating rather than a 3-star happened last week. We ordered delivery - baked ziti for the kids, chicken parm sub for my husband and eggplant parm sub for me. I started eating my sandwich and something didn't seem right. The "eggplant" was tender but tasted strange. My husband checked the receipt (we were so hungry that we didn't bother to look at it, but honestly, we are usually pretty trusting that we get what we order) and I had been given a veal parm sub. I do not eat veal, I never have and never thought I would. I was nearly sick to my stomach. Sure, it was all in my head and not because of the quality of the meat, but still... Needless to say, I didn't finish my sandwich and my husband called Caligiuri's to let them know what happened. The woman he spoke with was sincerely apologetic and credited our account for an eggplant parm with our next order, which was nice of her to do. It does make me question the competence of their staff to make such a huge error. I have worked in restaurants for many years and while I know mistakes happen, that is a pretty big one. Veal is one of those foods that when people don't eat it, it's usually for a reason - not because they simply don't like it. read more

My fam and I go to this restaurant plenty of times throughout the year. They always give you free garlic knots (So good) and bread before you order. I usually order heroes cause they are at great value, but sometimes get the specialty dishes, which are usually a hit or miss for me. My fam is a huge eggplant fan, and says they have the best, I can't comment. The house dressing on the salad is sublime. I cant even start to describe how it tastes. i just wish they would give you more salad. Lettuce is so cheap, give me another hand-full. All-in-all, i would definitely recommend this restaurant read more

Been coming here since 1980, its a iconic pizzeria in St James. Their regular pie is very good but as a huge fan of Sicilian , this is where they excel. Huge pie well balanced sauce, good crust ratio and very creamy cheese. I have had just about all their Hero's and they are all very good, good crusty bread stuffed with generous amounts of parmigiana and sauce. Staff is friendly and prices are about average and delivery is very fast. read more

We no longer live near Caligiuri's, but recently when making a purchase from someone on Craigslist, we found ourselves in the area and hungry, so we decided to return. The four of us ordered some basic parmagiana heroes, and we were just as impressed as we were before when this was our go-to pizza place. We do wish they were closer, but I'm glad to see that the quality has not diminished since our last review nearly three years ago. read more

Delicious pizza. Delicious garlic knots and bread. The staff was friendly and our waitress was awesome!!! I've been to quite a few restaurants on Long Island and this is one of the best. Restaurant itself was clean and had a nice, relaxing atmosphere. read more

Patio Italian Kitchen - Delicious!!! - Pizza Near Me - Saint James, New York

Great family oriented style Italian food and dining. Pizza and all dishes are delicious. Summer time is extra special with outside patio dining in the heart of St. James. read more

Great heros and pizza and also buffalo wings that are a nice surprise for a italian joint. New location is smaller but no problem with parking and outside dining is a nice touch. I also buy my pizza dough for home-made for kids and its is always fresh and delicious. read more

When you want to roll big in St. James, I'm talking rolling in to a joint like 8 deep, you roll in to Caliguiri's. I've been coming here for several years to get my eye-talian pasta/carby fixes satisfied. In a zoo of 4-5 star ratings, I'm sorry to do it Caliguiri's but you get a solid 3.25-3.5 stars. It's not the most authentic Italian restaurants out there, and for that it goes from 5 to 4 stars, and the "pretty decent" Angel hair a la vodka with shrimp on top we had last night, takes it from 4 to 3.5. Caliguiri's is still a charmer, still packs out like a sardine can and will continue to do so because it's extremely fairly priced, they STILL provide you with free/the best garlic knots you will get table side and last but not least, when your bill arrives to the table...they STILL give you one york peppermint patty for every person at the table. It's good to see that the housing market, financial industry debacle, rising oil prices several years ago, Katrina and/or the BP/Gulf Oil Spill disaster haven't caused Caliguiri's to do away with these cute little touches. I really would love to give them 4 stars, but it's a solid 3.25-3.5 and I'm still going to patronize the spot. PRO TIP: Go there on Saturdays for their lunch special, make sure to order the lobster/seafood bisque (it's GOOD) and just nosh on free garlic knots. read more

Love coming to this place with my husband's family. His dad lives just down the street and we always make a point to come and stop in. Their garlic knots are delicious and come to you at the table when you order. I have never been unhappy with the pasta dishes. They have delicious red sauce, clam sauce, and and chicken parmesan. The restaurant could definitely use a face lift. The decor is old and outdated and is starting to look dingy. The food is consistently good and is a little tradition in our family, so we will keep coming back! read more

Used too frequent this place in the 80's when I was in construction and years later the regular pizza is still consistently good and the garlic knots rock! Lots of flavor....yum! Staff is a pleasure to deal with and are very courteous and polite. Ps...they know the secret to keep customers coming back! read more

Caliguiri's patio pizza is the best in town! Don't listen to the hateful lunatic liberals that say otherwise just because the owner is conservative. read more

This was definitely my pizza place growing up around the corner. I can't believe nobody's reviewed it. Very cheesy pizza - almost like grilled cheese with delicious tomato sauce and toppings. Traditional Italian entrees are good too (ziti, chicken parm, etc.) read more

A local pizza joint with adjoining restaurant, Caligiuri's serves plenty of different kinds of tasty pizza. The two slices I had today included an eggplant with fresh mozzarella and a broccoli and onion. The eggplant and mozzarella was particularly delicious, with the eggplant still retaining its texture and the mozzarella still having a bit of chew in it. I found the best part of the pizza to be the dough. It was crusty, but not too dry or crunchy. It had a good amount of flavor and didn't need any sauce whatsoever. I'm hesitant in giving the place five stars simply because I haven't eaten enough pizza there yet, but I will definitely be returning. read more

My wife is from St James and this is her family's long time pizza place. Have only tried the pizza, but always thought the pizza was pretty good. However, not a place to go to get a slice on the spot. When we ordered a few slices they pulled out a pie from under the counter and the pizza tasted like it was made the day before. However if you order a pie to-go, the pizza is fresh and pretty good and tastes much better. The pepperoni is my fav though by far. Not a huge fan of the sicilian, not much flavor there. read more

I grew up eating at the original patio pizza and i loved it! now that they have a patio its a even nicer place. The pasta fagiole soup was always my favorite too, its still really good. The pizza is great too, the sauce and the cheese is great, the crust is really tasty. Matts and Patio were always competing, for me it is now Patio no question! Inside is nice and they've got a bar too. Cant wait to come back. read more

in a Community of pizzerias and Italian restaurants everywhere, this place ranks among the worst. The sauce tastes like it's from a jar. The pizza tastes like cardboard and the entrees not much better. Stay away. Definitely not worth it. read more

Absolutely delicious pizza, the best around!!! Lovely, friendly staff all wearing masks.... outside dining set up to accommodate social distancing. Can't wait to go back! read more

Went in a few weeks ago, the man behind the counter acted like I was a bother. Pizza wasnt bad but it wasnt good either. Went in again a few weeks later and again got attitude, perhaps if you work on making better food rather then rolling your eyes you could keep what ever customers you have left read more

Goodness gracious, the pizza here is out of this world! The kids loved every bit of it. The ingredients are fresh and authentic. The staff is also wonderful, you can thank me later! I appreciate that the recipes are consistent so when I really am craving a good authentic pizza, I can rely on this place! read more

Great local Italian food. So lucky to have Patio Pizza part of our community. A true asset!!! Love this place.

I'll tell you what.. I moved to NY from Seattle back in 1990, and rented a house in St. James. Patio Pizza was virtually one of the first New York pizza I'd ever had, short of a slice or two in the city before moving there. I don't know if it's the same owners, or the same menu as back then, since I now live in Montana, but that place ROCKED! I used to get spaghetti and meatball pizza, with giant pools of ricotta cheese bubbling in between sauce, spaghetti strands and sliced meatball, and I practically died and went to heaven. This is still a place I dream about - honestly. I wish they could send me a pie via Fed Ex... Next time I'm in NY, I will make the trek out to St. James to hit this place and have a pie.... unbelievably good. read more

Been coming here for years and love this place. Awesome garlic knots and good sauces and pasta. Love Joanne in the dining section. Will be coming here for many more years! read more

Only reason I gave them one star cuz attitude of the cashier girl. And she picked up the pizza bare hand without any gloves and put it in the oven to warm it up. But Pizza was delicious read more

First visit to new location and sad to say we won't be back. Only positives were the friendly wait staff and garlic knots. Wood floors and cramped tables make for loud atmosphere. Salad while fresh was served on cutesy little plates, the kind that when you try to cut the salad it flys off the plate all over the table. Sauce was meh, tasted like right out of the can. Eggplant parm was mushy. No semblance of a cutlet at all! Sorry to see this longtime town favorite go south! read more

Delicious pizza and the fastest delivery ever! Tonight we ordered a large cheese pie and two chicken pops (chicken rolls). They were hot fresh and delicious. We've only ordered pizza so can't speak to the dinners or heros but for straight up Neapolitan pizza delivered to your door you can't go wrong with Patio pizza. And I do mean they deliver quick. I ordered at 5:45 and it was here by 6:10 on a Friday not bad! read more

This place is a Saint James staple. We really love their pizza's I've never been disappointed, my 20 something years going here. The philly cheesesteak pizza or the bacon cheeseburger pizza's are to die for. They always have fresh ingredients and are polite and quick. I've read that some of their other menu items leave for improvement, but as far as pizza goes they're elite. read more

The best pizza on the Earth, hands down. This is my go to pizza joint on LI whenever I get back and I love it every time. The pizza is amazing, order a plain pie your first time to taste the virgin simplicity of award winning pizza. Meatball subs, fagedabaudit they're amazing. My brother used to work here years ago and said they made every single ingredient from scratch, that's what I'm talking about. read more

We love this place... the pizza is great, the heroes are very good.... we love eating there and take out and delivery. The people are nice... the only thing I would say I am not wild about.. is the $33 price for the pie with fresh mozzarella & roasted peppers. A few other local places have it and it is never more than $24. which is fine. We have eaten there frequently... for pizza night and I will say everything is good.. just the one thing I have an issue with... read more

After a slow trek up Lake Ave. and navigating a hectic parking lot, I walked into Patio -clearly an aberration as a newbie - and stumbled up to place a $6.04* order for 3 knots ($1) and a regular slice & a sicilian slice. Paid and received my knots to take back to the table (I'd say 90% of the customers on the Friday night I was there opted for call-ahead or order-there takeout) - as good as stated previously flavor-wise, just had to get accustomed to the texture. Observed the rapport the staff seemed to have with every single other customer, perhaps a daily thing or maybe just a Friday night perk. They graciously brought my Sicilian slice out to me, which emanated a different aroma than most and was as piping hot as its counterparts - solid slice. Maybe 5 minutes later, I walked back up to check on my regular slice, assuming it was going to be cut from a freshly emerged pie. Discovered that they thought I was a new customer and were extremely confused when I tried to walk back to my seat with it - a respectable slice but very similar to many other Island iterations. *Fortunately they accept cards for this amount or the 4 cents would've irked me Aside from the relatively cold feeling of being a first-timer, two caveats preventing the 5-spot: 1. they forgot my regular slice, and getting it required an awkward conversation and presentation of my receipt at the counter & 2. there was a pretty substantial accumulation of unwieldy grease accumulation on the corner of my corner slice. The massive hype before me knocks it down to a perhaps unjustified 3.5, so I rounded down in the interest of future potential customers. PS Their web presence is @ www.patiopizzany.com read more

Haven't been to the restaurant in a while. The decor hasn't changed. It's an average meal. Started the meal with baked clams & zucchini sticks. After examining the baked clams I could find no resemblance of clams, chopped or whole. The zucchini sticks were good served with marinara sauce. Followed with seafood bisque & pasta fagioli. Fagioli was flavorful, seafood bisque contained a great deal of "unknown processed seafood". Finally, ordered Chicken Mediterranean. This was tasty, yet rather saucy. All in all, for a Saturday night the place was rather empty, most patrons were primarily 60+. Might be time for the owners to re-examine the dining room read more

A St. James landmark. Wide variety of food all delicious. The gluten free sliders can be made to order and are delicious and reasonably priced. The chicken club slice and sliders with Russian dressing are killer. The staff and owners at Patio are wonderful and know mist customers by name. Delivery is free and always hot even in the middle if winter! read more

The food is amazing! Although it is owned by the same family I was never impressed before. My father loved them and we were always there when I was a kid but I actually had not been there in about 20 years. I just wasn't a fan. Since they moved my husband forced me to go there and I am so happy he did. The food was outstanding!! That was in June and I've been there many times since and they are always on point. Great staff! Guy is the sweetest man ever always asking about my father. I am beyond impressed!! read more

I have been here from time to time. Not a bad place to stop and grab a slice. he chicken rools are pretty good for lunch as well. Overall pretty good quality for a Long Island pizza establishment. read more
