    The Bronx Pizzeria, stomped their way in Throggs Neck a Few months ago. And when The Tasty Ladies documented their visit, Jason M. and I, decided to try a slice and some refreshments. The name is synonymous with old-fashioned neighborhood pizzerias: typical yellow menu boards and wooden tables/chairs decor. It's flashback to that 80s-straight-up-Bronx-corner-pizza-spot! Nothing fancy and definitely, not the spot to grab an artisanal pie or slice. In turn, our slices were decent (thick for my taste, nonetheless, good): my Plain Slice, had a suitable amount of cheese and light sauce and Jason's, 'White Slice' looked divine. Service was warm and friendly and one of the gentlemen, hooked me up with a Vanilla egg cream that came together ok, with a good trace of fizz. Nice to see a family business, opening and thriving every step of the way in The Bronx!

    What type of dough is this?

    Lol where do I even begin? I placed an order through grub hub and decided to trust yelp reviews based on pizza places delivering to my address. This seemed to be the best one apparently. First off, that in itself is a major lie. Delivery time was fast which is always great. Once I had opened my box, I didn't expect to see what I saw. 4 small slices in the hugest box that has now caused my "toppings" to shift off the slices. I had ordered special slices and noted in toppings I wanted in hopes they'd understand that's the type of specialty slice I longed for. Judging from the photos posted by the business owner onto yelp, it's what I expected to get in the special slice. Instead, what I received was the complete opposite. They literally took the saddest plain slices they must of had sitting there and threw the toppings I wanted on them. For example, I asked for any slice that contained eggplant or veggies that they might of had available and they actually just threw a long thin by sliced piece of unseasoned eggplant onto the slice. They didn't even cut the eggplant into pieces lol. (See photos). The chicken on my chicken broccoli was a joke in the entire slice itself. The pizza dough was surrounded by crust that was now eating its way into my pizza so it was pretty much just crust. The dough itself was so paper thin (See photos) that it just tasted like cardboard. And the chicken was chewy and just not edible. To be fair, I asked for crispy but did not realize that today the crust would be paper thin causing it to just burn instead. The greatest part of this all is when I called the pizza place to complain about it, what I heard what he last thing any consumer should hear. I imagined it to be better like maybe say "I'm sorry that Your pizza didn't come out right", "I'm sorry for this, let us remake it for you" - honestly, a simple sorry would of been great. Instead, I have this poor, poor girl on the end of the other line dealing with me and the owner now. I could hear the owner in the back screaming at the top of his lungs. At first, I thought there was a game on their tv and maybe a customer was getting excited. As I listened closer, it's the actual owner arguing with me in the background about how I have shitty taste and how his pizza is the best I will ever have. Insulting me and cursing at me through this poor girl he has on the phone. Didn't even have the guts to pick up himself and say these things to me. To the owner, you are so rude and disgusting, so disrespectful that I am even surprised at how you even have a customer base. I'm actually even shocked that you've managed to gain 4stars on Yelp and maintain it. Wow. Your pizza is actually one of the worst I've ever had. I've had frozen pizza that tasted better than this trash you serve. At this point, I would've been happier with papa johns or lil cesers as much as it kills me to say that. This is the first and last time I will ever be ordering from this establishment. So much better to actually drive out of my way to get better pizza like Full Moon. This place is an absolute joke and a nightmare!

    Over 10 different kinds of pizza!

    So I went to review a new Pizzeria today in the Bronx. Like we need another pizza joint in the Bronx! It's taking the place of another Pizza place that went out of business, so I wasn't that excited. The Bronx Pizzeria & Restaurant has a full menu with over 10 varieties of pizza, fresh made calzones, pasta dishes, entrees, chicken wings, etc. Yada Yada Yada! I ordered about 6 different items to start and no I did not eat it all! Remember Bikini season is coming! I started with their famous "Grandma's" pizza. The sauce, the cheese and crust is top notch and delicious with fresh basil sprinkled on top! Plus on Mother's Day it will be 1/2 off for moms! ( $10 a pie instead of $20!!) I can understand why it's famous now! The Hawaiian slice was so flavorful with the ham and juicy pineapple! The sausage was great with big chunks of spicy sausage!! White pizza is not my cup of tea because I love the sauce, but this slice of white was really surprising! It was seasoned perfectly with gobs of gooey cheese atop and a crunchy crust! Onto the calzones, we had the chicken Parmignia ( of course) calzone that was stuffed with a lot of tender chicken, mozzarella and sauce in a crunchy shell. But my favorite has to be the Pepperoni Pinwheel roll !! These were amazing and put me right on the flavor train to fulfillment vile! You HAVE TO TRY ONE OR TWO!! The place is not fancy but owners Chris and Claire have jazzed it up with colorful pictures and one long runner that is very attractive! But you don't go to a Bronx Pizzeria for ambiance but great pizza, the best in the world!! And this Bronx Tastyladies NY should know being raised on great Bronx Pizza! Check out all their specials on their beautiful web site at http://www.thebronxpizzeria.com/ and their Facebook and Instagram pages! Delivery is free and they are also on Yelp24 and Grubhub for online convenience.

    All the raw dough in my Pepperoni Roll. NOT CHEESE ! Trust me I tasted it

    THE BEST GLUTEN FREE PIZZA EVER!!!
    Dee M.

    Went in last night and ordered a pizza for my family. It looks amazing perfect crust standing straight out the way a NY pizza should be. Unfortunately I am gluten free so I couldn't have any. I had met the owner who was exceptionally nice and told me anything I wanted to have he would modify it so I could enjoy his food. I asked if he would consider a gluten free pizza and he said he would try to figure out how. Today I went in with a thought and he met me with a solution for me. I'm getting my gluten free pizza!!! He spoke to one of the workers who are familiar with the gluten free pizza crust and they are going to be carrying it starting early next week!!! I can't wait to have my pizza again I am so stoked now instead of making it on a night I don't feel like cooking I can have my pizza and eat it too!!! Very grateful for the new owners who care about the community enough for a simple request on just a single person. May he have many years ahead of him!!! OMG they got the gluten free pizza and it's TO DIE FOR!!!

    We got a little bit of everything...try it all. You won't be disappointed :) Your newest fans from Michigan

Their Bloody Mary remains one of my absolute favorites from any nearby establishment. If you know of any great ones in the area that I haven't tried yet, let me know! They season each one to order, which I really appreciate. This time I thought it could have used a little more horseradish, but they were busy and I still really enjoyed it. The pickled green bean is my favorite part! They also have a rotating specials board, and every time I see the pork, broccoli rabe, and peppers sandwich, I order it. It's a perfect sandwich. Every bite hits all the right notes- savory, tart, sweet, and salty. I also love that some of the specials come with macaroni salad. I'm usually not the biggest macaroni salad fan, but theirs is excellent, not too wet and simple. I also ordered a bowl of chicken noodle soup, and it was just as satisfying. It's a classic, with a rich, flavorful broth. Personally, I prefer diced chicken over shredded in my soup, but it didn't take away from the dish. I did add a little salt and pepper to brighten the flavors, but only a touch. I'd much rather season it to my taste than be served an overly salty soup. The hospitality here is on another level. Everyone is friendly, quick, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. It's such a wonderful local establishment to support, and one I'll happily keep coming back to.

    Great specials! Always great service!!…read moreGreat bloodys! Love the charming classic countertop diner! We will def be back! Cheers!

    Amazing! When you see reviews this high by other Yelpers, you wonder if a restaurant lives up to…read morethe reviews. Orrico's does. The food is amazing. The pasta dishes were excellent and inventive. The standards were all there and perfectly prepared. Restaurant has a clean modernist decor with elegant touches. The service was top notch and attentive. My whole family loved it. Don't miss the desserts! The cannolis and cheesecake were out of this world. Highly recommended!

I am delighted to announce that I have finally tried the neighborhood-famous short rib egg rolls. As much as I wanted to get another order to go, I decided to be nice and save them for others to try. Next time I am totally getting one to-go so that I can extend the magical experience. They run them as a special often since they're so popular, if they have them-- get them. Orrico had awesome specials going on but I was in the mood for comfort classics. They still uphold, in my opinion, the BEST chicken parm in the neighborhood. The chicken is not dried out, the texture is perfect and the sauce to cheese ratio is on point. We also ordered the sole franchese. That dish is so light, fresh and classic. Last but certainly not least, the short rib egg rolls are just so good. Fried perfectly but not oily, the tender shortrib, the awesome cheese pull, the rich brown gravy. Truly, a masterful creation. I always knew that service and food were great but what I didnt know was that they are also mixologist! Usually I would just get wine but every table around me were ordering martinis and they looked great so I ordered a classic dirty. Perfect amount of olive brine and nicely balanced. Everytime we go visit we leave with leftovers and I still have the feeling of looking forward to my next visit. In our neighborhood they are a diamond-- great establishment. Toniann you were a delight and I am happy to formally meet you.
