The meatballs arrive with a scoop of ricotta and the speck on top of the pizza really benefitted from the char (restaurant's namesake!) with a nice crisp that balanced out everything else. I just found the rest of the slice to be a little flimsy (soggy sort of, but not in a bad way!), likely because of the truffle oil and the hot honey drizzle this particular pie comes with. Everything was good but, aside from the kids meal and the drink, felt priced $2-$3 higher than it should have been. I suspect they just folded their CC fees and maybe a bit more into their menu, since we didn't get hit with an extra charge when the bill came. Service was friendly and the pasta dishes looked great too (money bags seems like a fan favorite!).

She was very attentive, and I believe she knows our friends dine here often. I must admit, their portions are sizable, and their entrees are delicious. I am still amazed that pizza can be made and left in the open air for so long before someone buys a slice. In Florida, it's rare to find places that sell just a slice; they typically sell only whole pies. This pizzeria is quite busy, and I find it hard to believe their pizza in the glass cases sits there long. Overall, I highly recommend this pizzeria restaurant.

First and foremost I've been reading the reviews and what is so consistent are the complaints about…read morethe portions and prices which is what I'm going to address exactly. First of all, I come in with a clipp coupon which is an incredible thing I highly suggest for everybody to look into the deals are incredible and the whole idea is to bring in brand-new customers which is what I was, this was my first time there a couple of weeks ago. I was really excited to try out this place, but yes, as many of the reviews say it's just a Pizzeria with some tables thrown inside. So it's not a fine dining restaurant by any chance but boy I can tell you from looking at the size of the menu and the outrageous prices you would have thought it was a five star restaurant!!! Seriously, many of the appetisers are in the $30 range, which is ridiculous- So when I walked in to pay the server who I assume is a waitress, maybe more, was named Maria and I see that she's been mentioned many times in the reviews so she's probably a regular there--- she seemed visibly disappointed and annoyed when I told her I have a clipp Certificate, to let people know who are not familiar. It's extremely similar to Groupon but much much better and much cheaper -- again the idea is to bring a new people although you can use it every time you go there which I have been told by people in the advertising business that the business owners actually hate this sort of thing because they actually lose money they're just taking a chance on bringing a new customers and introducing them to the business which could be beneficial in a long run So that was a turn off. Then I was told that I most likely wouldn't be able to use it because it's for Dine in only , however the one good thing is that somebody who apparently was the owner came over and told her basically to knock it off and stop worrying about that stuff and he said not a problem this time so I can say he was extremely nice and pleasant to speak with And that was nice of him to do that for me that one time if I do go back there at least I know moving forward that it's for dine in only and not takeaway- But the primary complaint here is I couldn't believe that my Dish was $37 and I was excited to try it out only to open it and find SEVEN Shrimp !!!! I mean they gotta be kidding me!! this dish is the shrimp or Renata of course you can see the thing that cost nothing which is pasta was packed to the brim.... Extremely disappointing, I was also purveying the pizzas and asking the prices and the prices were also a little bit ridiculous for a slice ... stuff look pretty good and the food tasted good but you gotta be kidding me for almost $40. I only got seven shrimp????? This is just another one of those restaurants that get over on the people... sad .

I am a first time customer -- I recently ordered 2 pies and 12 garlic knots to be delivered to a…read morelocal shelter for the volunteers there. The shelter is literally about a 4 minute drive away, right down the block. We tipped $4.00, which I thought was reasonable for such a short delivery, although maybe I should have tipped more. I'm not sure. Unfortunately, the delivery driver was clearly unhappy with the tip and asked for more money. I was honestly flabbergasted. He told me to go inside and ask them if they're willing to give him more. He kept asking for more, became angry and rude, and the interaction lasted a solid 2-3 minutes before I finally walked away and called the store to report it. Mind you, it takes A LOT for me to want to complain... The first manager I spoke to was a woman who basically just said sorry, and that was it. However, I later spoke with Rich, who I believe is either a manager or the owner, and he completely changed how I felt about the situation. Rich took the time out of his day to go over everything with me in detail, listened to what happened, made sure the situation was made right with us, and handled things with his driver. He could have easily been rude, dismissive, or just brushed me off, but he did the exact opposite. He immediately took action, handled the situation professionally, and resolved it to the best of his ability. I genuinely found that commendable. Because of how kind, respectful, and professional Rich was, I still plan on supporting the business moving forward. For our next event, I actually plan on ordering 3 pies and other items from them. Their food is absolutely amazing! I'll personally be doing pickup moving forward rather than delivery, but I truly do want to support Rich and his business because of how well he handled everything. Thank you again Rich. Wishing you and the business well.

I see my friends mostly at wakes now and my ride fell down on me, so here in Jamaica i stand. For all who've not been, it is about the dirtiest, most germy place per square foot in NYCs transportation world. Its the kind of place I hope you'll never ever see in your life. Everybody's bumping into you and yelling about track changes, looking like a bunch of morons who think they're going somewhere important. ​Anyway, I ended up getting off at Massepequa and going to Leonardo's Pizza hoping they had a beer but they didn't, figures. ​First, I had the Italian Wedding Soup. It arrived looking like a drowned swamp with all those stringy, pale noodles swirling around in the broth like a bunch of white wigglers, similarto what i had for first lunchies. They were just sitting there next to these limp green leaves and the carrots were just floating in it. It's like the soup is trying to convince you it's healthy, but the whole thing just looks depressing. You take a bite, and it tastes, well, it tastes rather good, but the name is what really gets me. "Italian Wedding Soup." That's a odd name if I ever heard one. What does soup have to do with getting married? It just makes you think of a bunch of grandmothers crying and guys in rented tuxedos talking about their golf handicaps and portfolios. Plus I'm never getting married again, never ever - i learned my lesson. ​Then came the Detroit Slice. It sat there on a paper plate next to my copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, which was the only thing in my whole damn life that's keeping me company. Look at the edge of that crust--it's burnt to a crisp. Black as night, dark as spadesbut maybetgats how they do it on Long Island. The sauce is piled right down the middle like a thick red streak, covered in all these little dried oregano herbs I applied. I sat there eating this cheesy crusted square, staring at Mark Twain on the cover, and I swear it made me feel sad. Not because the book is terrible, it reminded me of my childhood, another complete disaster. The pizza actually had that crispy, cheesy edge going for it, I'll give them that, but because it felt lonely eating alone in public,vi never do that. Me, Samuel Clements and a thick slice of pizza on a cheap paper plate. Next time I'll be sure to eat out with someone fun.

Really great Neapolitan style pizza! Stopped in for lunch with a coworker yesterday (Thursday) and…read morethe place was packed. Thankfully, we were able to get a table. Many pizzas to chose from, as well as some pasta/hero options. We both went with a pizza because it seemed to be the specialty. Pizza itself was decently sized, made to order, came out quickly, and overall delicious! They also have a decent soda/beer selection. I had the al prosciutto pizza and it came with a very generous portion of prosciutto. The location is a bit hidden in an industrial spot. You enter through a small Italian grocery store and the pizza place is to the right. The place itself was a bit chaotic/server was overwhelmed so service was abrupt. It's sit down/table service (no ordering at a counter), but we were told the drinks were self-serve from the coolers (odd). We were also asked to leave the moment we paid our check so they could turn the table over. Despite the chaotic atmosphere/service, still highly recommend and I would still come back for the pizza, especially because you're guaranteed to be in and out very quickly which could be useful if you're in a time crunch.
