    Cheese Pizza Slice, Pepperoni Pizza Slice
    Nathaniel C.

    Came here for a slice and it absolutely did not disappoint! Ordered a plain and a pepperoni and both were fantastic. The slice was thin and the crust was nice and airy with a perfect crunch. The sauce had a sweetness to it and the mozz on top (which I read they make themselves in house) was so fresh. At $3 for a plain slice of this caliber these days, I will absolutely be back ... and I'm excited to try some of that sandwiches & sides from the deli counter, they look excellent. Everyone working was so nice & I loved the old school Italian deli vibes in the store.

    With pizza shops around every corner they definitely have one of the better ones, but thats not all they have. They delicious sandwiches as well. I need to come back to try more.

    This is a solid slice of pizza. Good balance of flavor, cheese, bread. Nothing overpowering. Service was great! Love the layout of the space. I need to try their sandwiches next time.

    Great pizza, one of the top few places in the neighborhood. Good deli options as well, like pasta salads, etc. Aracini rice ball with vegetables was good, had either asparagus or broccoli rabe and cheese, almost a bit too cheesy, but good. Good grocery selection, depending what you're looking for. Known for great owner and great service, they have plenty of people working so the wait isn't long. Smooth systems and clear, robust menu. A professionally-running place.

    Al Pollo. Picture does not do it justice. Quite a delicious hero.

    There's no shortage of great Italian Delis in Astoria. I've tried most of them and I have to say, Rosario's is my favorite. The Al Pollo sandwich is my go to when I want some of the best chicken cutlets around. Portion size is strong, despite many other places cutting back. The prices are fair and quality is high. I've heard their pizza is also the best in town so I'll have to try at some point.

    I wandered into Rosario's on my way to the Astoria-Ditmars (N) station one afternoon, simply because it looked like a charming little vestige of pre-gentrified Ditmars Blvd. The storefront is fairly large, and the shelves are packed with pantry goods ranging from olive oils to tinned fish imported from Italy. I found the prices to be quite reasonable and really enjoyed the large selection of goods available. While I was quietly perusing the shelves, I noticed that a majority of customers who walked in made a beeline to the right side of the store, where the deli/pizza counter was. I wasn't able to try a slice at the time, but after hearing rave reviews about their pizza, I was finally able to get my hands on their Polpette pie ($27) which features meatballs from a family recipe sliced thinly to resemble pepperoni. I'm not a huge meats lover on pizza but I was pretty blown away by how delicious it was. The marinara sauce was bright and perfectly acidic, the meatball discs tender and seasoned, and the dough tossed thin enough for a good crunch but robust enough to prevent any floppiness from the weight of the mozzarella. I've eaten a good amount of pizza in Astoria, and Rosario's easily takes top 3 (maybe even top 1)! I'd love to return and try their margherita slice and their sandwiches too.

    Rosario's is an oldschool gem of Astoria, Queens. The type of oldschool delis & shops that are being runover and pushed out in the city of New York to make room for fancy apartment buildings. Rosario's has survived! They have a huge selection of imported Italian goods. Chocolate croissants, biscuits, sodas & other pantry items. I was here for the pizza though. I've read & heard a lot of rave reviews of the pizza here. I can proudly say they deserve all the hype they get. They make their mozzarella fresh in-house which I appreciate so much. That mixed with their light sauce & slightly char on the bottom & slightly burnt cheese bubbles makes for an epic pizza! You just have to try it for yourself. Rosario's can go toe-to-toe with any of New York City's heavy hitters in the pizza game. Staff is very nice & friendly. Prices are very fare. Large regular 18" pie was $22.50 as of this review 06/2025.

    What a welcoming and friendly old school gourmet deli. Cold cuts and fresh sandwiches galore and let's not forget their beautifully made pizza. Yes you heard right, Pizza! It ranks up there with New York's best. Rosario's is simply a local Astoria delight.

    It's been almost 15yrs since I last visit this fine establishment. Childhood nostalgia hit when I…read moreentered and proudly show the place to my husband and friend. They had revamp the place and it looked nothing like my childhood but the taste was there (unless I put it on a pedestal). It's not your typical pizzeria. They specialize in 10" pan pizza with crispy crusts. They do not do slices... only whole pies. Food quality is still amazing! I remember as a child they had the paper wrapper that had coupons on it. My siblings and I would save all the paper coupons for free pie (collect 10 for 1 free pie). Not sure if they still do that. They used to also offer free balloons to all kids there. They had a huge helium tank and assorted color balloons that they would blow up on the spot for all kids. Very family-oriented/friendly local pizza spot. We order led my favorite pie: Onion & Pepper pie but added Pepperoni and garlic knots. It was soooo goood that I was super happy to come back for another taste. I hope the next visit won't be as long.

    One of my favorite pizza places in all of NYC. I have been eating at this location, as well as the…read moreother location for over 30 years. I only have changed my order maybe three times total over the years. It is one of the few restaurants myself and my family can all agree on. I wish parking was not an issue and it would be awesome if they had more locations spread out. I know that is a challenge for us, otherwise we would be ordering here every time I came home to visit. My absolute favorite pizza is the Indo-Pak. FYI, all the pizzas are individual sizes and measure about 12". The Indo-Pak has curry, garlic, onions, and jalapeños or cherry peppers-not sure which pepper but it gets hot after a couple of slices lol. Other favorites of mine are the garlic and just plain cheese. I usually finish most of my pie, with maybe a slice or two leftover. I am getting hungry while writing this because I miss it and it's that good. They have other items on the menu besides pizza but I have personally never ordered anything but pizza.
