Slice of Pizza
Taxi G.

Portnoy rated this joint a 8.6 for a good reason. I'll leave it in the top 5 Bronx Pizza joints. Fresh hot pizza excellent crust. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Old world Bronx charm. Stools at front counter small booths in the back Open till 11 pm (2025) Very good prices Worth the drive.

Thanks for the great conversation, tasty food, fast service and making us laugh!

Tommy's is a hometown local joint with a no frills menu of good pizza. You can order by the slice at currently 2.50 or by the pie. They have a pan pizza with 4 slices for like $7 too. You can eat in or take out. Every pizza is made the way it has always been made with cornmeal crust in the oven by hand. The crust is the right ratio of crispy and doughy with a tasty sauce and good cheese to sauce ratio. You need to make sure that you have cash though since they don't take cards. If you are in the area, check out Tommy's for a slice or a pizza and help keep this neighborhood institution serving up pies for years to come.

Nice crust to cheese ratio

Hidden gem. Been coming here since my Lehman days. This was back in the 90's. Top 5 pizza joint in the Bee X, Hands down. Slices are $3 and maintain that Italian flair and culinary integrity. Crunchy crust, modest cheese fill, and oil drippings.

I hardly do Updates, but felt this one was warranted. For me, someone who isn't into pizza much, Tommy's I believe is the best in Throggs Neck. Crisp crust, perfect imo tasting sauce, with a nice distribution of cheese and toppings. When you see Cops, Sanitation workers, Traffic Enforcement, DEP, and others line up in front of a spot, you know it's got to be good. They do one thing, and that one thing well. Definitely recommended. TIP: They also sell the occasional Beef Patty.

For what it is it's pretty good. It's a small, thin slice with a decent crunch. Not the friendliest staff you'll ever meet.

The GOAT of Bronx Pizza. Period…read more If you want to know what real New York City pizza is supposed to taste like, stop looking and get to Louie & Ernie's on Crosby Ave. This isn't just a meal; it's a Bronx institution. The Vibe: Old School & Authentic This place is as "old school" as it gets. It's located in the basement of a house, and walking in feels like stepping back into 1959. There are no fancy decorations or "artisanal" gimmicks--just the smell of fresh dough and a gas oven that's probably seen more history than most museums. * Pro Tip: It is CASH ONLY. Don't be that person who gets to the counter with a card; come prepared. The Pizza: The Best in the Bronx I've had a lot of pizza, but this is easily the best in the borough. * The Crust: Paper-thin, perfectly salty, and has that signature "Bronx fold" with just the right amount of char on the bottom. * The Sausage: This is their claim to fame. They use huge, fresh chunks of sausage that are packed with flavor. It's heavy, it's greasy in the best way possible, and it's legendary. * The Sauce/Cheese: The ratio is perfection. The sauce is tangy and bright, and the mozzarella is creamy and never "rubbery." The Service The staff here are exactly what you want in a legendary neighborhood spot--friendly, fast, and no-nonsense. They keep the line moving, but they treat you like a regular even if it's your first time. Verdict: 10/10. It's simple, it's classic, and it's the king of the Bronx. If you haven't been, you're doing NYC wrong.

It's a decent slice. I don't live in the area but came for a ride to check it out because there…read morewere some pretty glowing reviews. Nothing wrong but just a pretty typical slice of nyc pizza. For a place that does slices there's a LOT of searing options, both inside, and this area out the back which is pretty good.

We started with the Patate Salsiccia e Provola, and I immediately understood why Italians talk with their hands my mouth was too busy eating to say anything. Crispy potatoes, savory sausage, and gooey provola cheese... comfort food at its finest. For my main course, I had the Pollo Capriccio with a glass of red wine. The chicken was so tender I barely needed a knife, and the wine had me looking around for a Vespa to ride back to the Bronx. The service was fantastic friendly, attentive, and patient enough to let me butcher every Italian word on the menu without judging me. At least not out loud. If this isn't what Italy feels like, don't tell me. I'm happy living in this delicious fantasy. Now excuse me while I search for affordable flights to Rome... or just uback to Arthur Avenue.

This place is tiny inside and it's on a highly traveled street.

After you get situated with finding parking, better yet, take mass transit if you can, you'll find a non descript pizzeria. It's CASH ONLY ** they have ATM's inside for your convenience, which I had to use and I think the fee was 2.50$ but I'm not sure. The pizzeria slices are HUGE.-ginormous- colossal!! I thought it was going to be superficially large pizza with a horrible taste. ON THE CONTRARY - NO! The pizza was delicious and I found the salt content to be reasonable, perfectly salted. I paid 38$ for the super sized pizza. My kids devoured it, while my wife took pictures of of the kids eating their kite sized pizza slices. I highly recommend this "Bronx Style" pizzeria. The pizza is well cooked, medium to thin sized pizza and the ratio of cheese to tomato sauce is distributed evenly with a slightly cheesier taste than tomato.

Yes it a big slice. Probably the biggest you have seen and yes, it is a big pie. Probably the…read morebiggest you've seen. But the fact of the matter is the quality of the cheese and dough is not up to par. The pizza resonates of low quality mozzarella cheese and poor quality bread. I've been eating here on and off for many years and the quality of the product has deteriorated. I would not recommend this place to anyone unless they wanted to "try that place that they heard of on social media or from a friend who ate here 20 years ago. it's just not worth it. They are better pizza places in the Bronx (Circle, Yankee Pizza, Ernie's, Tony's on Throggs Neck, Pugsley Pizza)z If the owner were able to improve on the pizza by incorporating better quality ingredients, I would definitely give it a shot again. I wouldn't even mind if they charged seven dollars a slice for that mammoth slice because it is very very big. But in its current incarnation, I would have to pass on a second round. It's just not worth the money because the taste and quality of the slice is so poor. What happened?!??

They came up highly recommended, that always makes me a little apprehensive. They were right! Got there around 1is, not crowded but there were some patrons - looked like regulars. We got seated right away. Service could not have been better and I base a lot of my reviews on that. One of the staff was clearing the table and accidentally brushed against me, he barely touched me - he couldn't have been more apologetic. Very impressive, I assume management trained him and kudos to them for that! Food was next level! Calamari app was tasty, fresh, tender and delicious. I had the Filet of Sole and it was in an egg batter that was very tasty and perfect. I know it was good because my son had several bites!

The Mediterranean salad had no tomatoes or cucumbers which is pretty standard in a Mediterranean salad. No bread came on the side. Typical Italian restaurants will always provide a bread on the side. The chicken was ok. The seafood pasta lacked flavor. It's as if the seafood was just boiled without lemon, butter, wine etc. it had no flavor ! I requested utensils and to go items (plates, napkins) and the ordered came with nothing. Big disappointment won't be returning.
