I've had pizza...everywhere and every kind. everyone has a preference and this place is my type! I was told everything was made in house and after the pizza came out of the oven w a perfect crust then came fresh basil torn in front of me and fresh grated Parmesan. I also had a cannoli for dessert, also fresh filled in front of me. The service was great and with a smile. I rarely give 5 stars but they deserve it. I wish I was coming back to Poughkeepsie again soon. read more

Tonight was the second time we got a pizza that wasn't freshly baked. It tasted and had the consistency of a pizza that was a day old. It keeps happening to us and we don't know how to fix this other than kindly ask Pippinelli's to stop selling old baked pizza. We only can tell it was old when we get home and start eating it. This is the most expensive pizza "parlor" in the area so for $30 I expect a pizza that just came out of the oven. This is the only place this has happened to us . read more

They only lose a star for their delivery policy. We were one of their first customers and they did deliver to us ( about 1/2 mile beyond on essentially the same road. The past three orders, we needed to pick up. since there is no legitimate parking, it's a bit of a hassle But the food is wonderful, particularly the pizza which has a great charred crust, excellent balance of sauce, or cheese, and that extra fresh basil on top. My adult children can't get enough of their mozzarella sticks. They are definitely not Sysco standard issue. And this time we tried the Arancino rice balls. They were well received. I usually pass on their salads because it's mostly lettuce with very little toppings. Everything else is a thumbs up. I would recommend the gelato. It is fabulous. And if you stay in, you'll get a cute nostalgic experience an old-fashioned pizza parlor complete with jukebox read more

Updating review because quality improved. they no longer incinerate our pies and we love the crust. New fave is tie dye pie with pesto. read more

Pipinelli’s Pizza Parlor - This was the least burnt slice on the pie. A bit of char is welcome but this pie was badly burnt - Pizza Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

The pizza is great if you aren't looking for a sweeter tomato sauce, which I never am. We had the Pipinelli Pie and wow are they generous with the prosciutto. One improvement we'd have liked to see is for them to remove the "rind" on the prosciutto. You really can't eat it and so it's a bit of a hassle. Staff is great and we'd definitely go back. read more

There was a private parking lot. They have both indoor and outdoor dining. You place your order at the counter and it is brought to your table. Our waitress was friendly and informative. The appetizers came out quickly. We had mozzarella sticks and meatballs. Both were excellent. We tried 3 kinds of pizza: Sausage&onion, Vodka, and pepperoni. We loved the pepperoni the best. Not only was it delicious, there were stacks of pepperoni cups. The Vodka pizza was tasty, allowing the flavor of the crust to shine. The sausage & onion was ok, but I prefer larger pieces of sausage to crumbles. I highly recommend this restaurant. I will return and try different pizzas and the calzones. read more

The pizza was definitely a few notches above the average pizza parlor. One of the best slices I've had in my life. I love the fresh basil and pesto on the Tie Dye Pizza read more

Fantastic slices to go, reasonably priced and friendly service. The pizzeria has quite the fun vibe.

Pipinelli's won't disappoint! Great pizza and service, with a classic slice shop vibe. Just off Hooker Avenue in Poughkeepsie, Pipinelli's recently opened and offers some of the best pizza in the area. We grabbed take out during their first week open, and although they were originally slammed and still working out their kinks, we have ordered at least four more times. Each time it gets better. Great quality ingredients matched with plentiful portions, Pipinelli's is now our go-to pizza spot. I recommend the classic pepperoni pie - crispy, 20", pep cups, and delicious. The unsung heroes of the menu are their garlic knots and unbelievable mozzarella sticks. All made in house and crispy (reminiscent of the now closed Amici's sticks). The staff is friendly and accommodating, providing a great experience for takeout. They are prideful in their quality and won't serve anything that doesn't meet their high standards. Dining room and parking are limited so plan accordingly to avoid waiting. A+ read more

Came back to New York State after 22 years in Florida for my Erzats Goddaughters wedding. Poughkeepsie. It's rare that I travel back to New York. It's very rare that I go out to eat. Ever more so for Italian food. Even MORE SO for pizza. So to humor my wife because she said she was craving pizza we asked and Googled and came up with Pipinelli's. Previous 44 years in NY. Between Brooklyn and Long Island. Half way out, Port Jefferson area. Been making pizza for 54 years. Owned 4 pizzerias restaurants and two more that were restaurants only. 3 in NY, 3 in Florida. It was a 25 minute drive. Believe me! It was worth it. A little unconventional set up but super nice place, great atmosphere. Friendly help, very knowledgeable and professional looking as well. Not as common as you might think these days. Clean cut, presentable. You We ordered a couple of regular slices, and a slice of "Tie Dyed". Which had vodka sauce, regular pizza sauce, fresh mozzarella, pesto, and fresh basil. Fresh basil is always a good sign, especially when they use it liberally but not overused. A couple of Pepsi's too. The pizza was absolutely delicious. Perfectly baked crust, thin and crispy. It's needless to say, but I'm gonna say it anyway. And I'm not comparing this to my Pizza because it's practically impossible for somebody else to make a pizza you are going to like better than your own. But, this pizza was as good as the pizzas I got in Brooklyn when I was growing up. Before the industry got a hold of it as an idea and tried to improve upon it with mass production and modern scientific techniques and chemically produced and modified products. No bleached, high gluten flour. Only Sicilian olive oil and imported Italian tomatoes. Not that there aren't great pizzas out there that are made in the modern way. But this place, simply put, does not disappoint in anyway. They also have a nice selection of items other than pizza. A nice menu. A great selection of desserts (homemade fresh, daily),beverages, including glass bottle, Pepsi, Stewart's sodas in a glass bottle, and even though I don't drink it, a great a find. Manhattan, special espresso soda. These guys got everything perfect. They dotted every i and crossed every t perfectly. I may never come back to Poughkeepsie, but I will never forget Pipinelli's Pizza Place read more

Absolutely the best pizza around...the dough is to die for with a sauce that has just the right amount of spices. Nithing in the area compares. Also, its great to know someone finally uses a dough that is good for ypu and nit laden w chemicals and gmos... read more

Pizza is one of the best you'll ever have. Never been disappointed. Amazing pizza. I'm not sure anything else matters.

Friendly staff, and the pizza was delicious. I really enjoyed the pistachio gelato too read more

Pipinelli’s Pizza Parlor - Pizza Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

Run, don't walk, to Pipinellis for a wonderful dining experience! We had lunch here and frankly calling it a "Pizza Parlor" does not do it justice. There is a very nice menu for non-pizza dishes that is exceptionally good. Everything they do is home-made, including Gelato and other desserts. They use DeCecco pasta which is arguably the best pasta you can get - and not cheap. They also make their own bread which you can by for $5 a loaf - a bargain. They really care about using the best ingredients. It is not a big space - maybe holds 25 people for dine-in - but you can take out anything on the menu. They do not have a liquor license yet but they will do BYOB and they will take reservations. If I lived in the area I would be there at least once a week. This is such a great example of a wonderful local restaurant that is so far above chain trash. I don't give out 5 stars often but Pipinellis is a real deal Italian Trattoria that reminds me so much of mom and pop restaurants in Italy. Try it and you will be very pleased. read more

Great crust and soft center ,the honey drizzle was overpowering the other flavors but overall scrumptious ! Every time I come back, it always hits the spot . read more

Maybe it's because I ordered delivery late at night, but their food made me wish I ordered elsewhere lol. Portion size was good they give a hefty amount, but the pasta lacked so much flavor and their fried calamari was kinda dry. I would give them another chance tho . read more

Amazing food and service! We got the plain pie, and Bronx slices, everything was great!

Typical New York Style Thin Crust Pizze with greasy topping, nothing special. Had to take a star Dff because the crust was burnt to black on 1/2 the pizza we were hungry and couldn't wait for another pizza to be made, 2nd star came off because off price for extra cheese and extra price charged for each additional item was very high! $40 for a large with extras seems a bit high especially when I get to go and don't want to pay for the atmosphere read more

Order a chicken parm sandwich through DoorDash. And this is exactly what I was looking for. Crispy but soft bread good sauce and chicken seasoning was perfect. Need I'll try some pizza from here. read more

Haven't been leaving reviews lately. Pipinelli's warrants a change in this behavior... I have not had better pizza in the Hudson Valley area. Luckily this gem is in Poughkeepsie. I kid you not when I say I have probably had pizza from 50+ different pizza parlors since moving up here many years ago. This was the first place where I could honestly say "Yes! This is it..." Needless to say this fat boy's ordered from here like 3 times this week lol. Perfect ratio of sauce to cheese. Nice thin classic nyc reminiscent crust and VERY fresh ingredients to boot. To try and keep this brief I will wrap up by saying the Tie Dye pie is an absolute must and the wings and homemade mozz sticks deserve honorable mention as well. I wish you guys all the best luck in your pizza and business endeavors going forward! read more

A fresh new take on old school NYC sour dough crisp pizza. Another local business doing some good, making my belly happy. read more

Pipinelli's had the best pizza in Poughkeepsie. If you like your pizza well done go try it.

Delicious food, wonderful service, great ambiance. Definitely stop by for a slice or even come to sit

The best pizza in Poughkeepsie since Provenzano's closed years ago! The Grandma pizza has a thick snap crust with fresh tomatoes and mozzarella. The Vodka chicken parm is delicious !The amount of chicken and pasta in the dish, easily can serve two or plenty for leftovers. Welcome to the neighborhood! read more

Pipinelli's is a great little place. People are nice and pleasant as is the atmosphere. I haven't had anything other than their pizza but it needs help. The sauce has no flavor I added some when I got home but no help...and the dough is a little tough. They need to ramp it up...too bland. Maybe I had an day old piece but no flavor. Needs a little more umph. Hope they get the kinks out. 1st year is the hardest. Good Luck!! read more

For the area, this is one of the better pies. Thin crust, good sauce, fresh basil. Interesting new technology ovens. Certainly not old school coal fired but seems to work. One recommendation....eat it fresh in the shop if you can. If in a box, expect a soggier, flatter tasting pie. Like all pizza in a box. One more thing, stick to a simple pie topping like pepperoni, sausage, whatever. If you get a ton of items on it like those stupid pies with dinner on top (chicken with vodka pasta and broccoli, LOL) you have killed the beauty of thin crust. You might as well go to Little Caesars. read more

Ordered delivery on website. They use Toast if you are close. Otherwise, you need to use Grubhub or Doordash. Good pizza. Thin crust. Tasty. Wish it had more cheese. As another reviewer mentioned, tends to be a little burnt. read more

Stopped by while traveling. Some of the best pizza I've ever had. Very friendly staff

There's honestly no better pizza in Dutchess County! Everything at Pipinellis is top-notch. You can tell they really care about the food they make. And the people? Even better than the pizza. Everyone who works there is so friendly and welcoming. It just feels like a place you want to keep coming back to. Definitely a local gem! read more

Pipinellis Pizza Parlor is exactly what Poughkeepsie needed. Hands down, one of the best pizzas I've ever had! Perfeflty crispy crust, fresh ingredients, just amazing. The salads? Massive. I actually had to take half home. Don't even get me started on the Philly sandwich... unreal. And the homemade pistachio gelato? Life-changing Whether you're dining in or grabbing something to go, this place hits every time. Personally, I love dining in because the vibe is always on point. The music is so good I've actually stayed longer just to finish my meal to the soundtrack. Great food, great atmosphere, and definitely a new local favorite. Run, don't walk! read more

Cute atmosphere great service! Best gf pie I've had in the area. Will definitely be back! My son said his slices were great and he'd love to go back! Great new place ! read more

First time trying yesterday..Pizza was delicious and the crust was perfect......Charcoal markings. This is what makes the pizza. The garlic wings were the best I've ever had. Can't wait to order next week... read more

Ordered a few times from here. Pizza and wedges. Pizza is good, but they tend to over cook it, to burnt. The wedges were good. Pretty pricey for a pizza joint. Not sure the value is there, but it's local. read more

Wow somebody finally started making great pizza in Poughkeepsie! No other place comes even close. Really light crust, great sauce, thin NY style pizza. I had plain and pepperoni with jalapeños. Sweet, salty and savory. The owner and the staff are very nice also. The renovation is pristine. Definitely coming back. read more

Oh my goodness! The most delicious pizza in Dutchess County has been found! Finally! Thin and tasty crust. The service was excellent and friendly. Highly recommend this place! read more

Stopped in finally to try a slice, outstanding I highly recommend and I'm a pizza snob.

Pizza was ready on time. Crust was amazing as was the homemade meatballs. The pizza itself was a little too salty and it could have used a little more oil on the top. I would definitely give it another try! read more

Ordered a slice with pepperoni and Jalapeño. The sauce was dry, the cheese; what cheese?, very greasy, two dried up jalapeños, and I kept tasting something sweet that didn't belong in it. One word: Gross. My first time, and last. I know a good pizza when I taste it the first time; this is not it. Bye Pipinelli's read more

I went with my daughter for the first time because we were in the area. Let me tell you, I'm from NY and when I took a bite from my pizza it brought back memories from when I was a kid. It took me way back, back into time! The Best Pizza in Poughkeepsie. What a GEM! I was happy eating. No more fake pizzas for me. Pipinelli's is in a class by itself! read more
