Over the past few months, I've stopped into Villa Grazia; a small, family run eatery; for everything from a quick slice to a full dinner, and each visit has reinforced how dependable this place is. Their Grandma's pizza deserves special mention -- a thoughtful, flavorful take on a classic that rewards you with every bite. Lunch brought a well‑executed chicken parmigiana and a crisp garden salad. Dinner was even better: chicken francese paired with angel hair pasta in a beautifully balanced marinara. The sauce is both sweet and savory, the chicken tender, and the pasta cooked with care. Practical notes: * Plenty of parking; exiting through the back makes returning to Middle Country Road easier. * Excellent value for the portion sizes. * Service is warm and welcoming. * One quirk: decaf coffee isn't available after 3 PM. Villa Grazia delivers consistency, comfort, and quality -- a combination that keeps me coming back. If you like the review or a photo please drop a comment. read more

For anyone who is looking at these reviews, keep in mind none of these people giving bad reviews have the first clue what they are talking about. I've been eating pizza my entire life, and this is hands down the freshest most enjoyable pizza you can get in the area by FAR, I mean in a 15mi radius for sure. I have no affiliation with this pizzeria but have been eating their pizza for years, it is consistent, it's great, and it's fresh and I believe it'll stay that way for as long as it's open. -margarita slice by far my favorite, and anything with chicken is good if you like that sort of thing (chicken is fresh, no nasty hard bits) . . Throwing shade at: o-sole-mio, La Grova, Stonybrook pizza, and Luigi's read more

10/10 every time we order from them. We've had them cater for us from our wedding to our children's birthday parties. Just tonight we got a plain, a pepperoni, and a chicken bacon ranch pie. Their sauce is authentic, and my father owned Italian restaurants!! read more

Have always passed by this place for years and have always wanted to stop in and try it. Tonight I finally did. Was greeted nicely by the staff as I walked in. Everyone seemed friendly. Ordered a large pizza half pepperoni to go. Live about 20 mins away so when I finally was able to eat it, it wasnt piping hot but man was it good. Crust was light and crispy. Sauce was on point. Pepperoni even had a slight crisp to it. If I lived closer I would make this my go to spot. Would love to try thier entrees if I ever get the chance. read more

I don't usually write reviews, but this place was such a disaster I feel like I have to warn others. The pizza was borderline inedibl burnt crust, barely any cheese, and the sauce tasted like it came straight from a can. But honestly, the worst part wasn't even the food .it was the owner. He was rude, dismissive, and acted like he was doing us a favor by serving us. When we politely mentioned the issue with our order, he rolled his eyes and told us, "That's how we do things here." No apology, no attempt to fix anything. It's pretty clear he doesn't care about customer service or quality. There are way better pizza spots around don't waste your time or money here. read more

This place gets ZERO stars. We have gone here for 25 years, back to when it was Frank's. After Sal sold it, it was never the same. In the last 6 months their service has gone completely down the toilet. They can't seem to get anything right. Tonight was the 2nd time we ordered heros and they completely fucked up the order causing us to wait an additional half hour while they fixed it. They gave my husband an attitude because he was pissed off that they gave our order to someone else. Are you fucking kidding?? And how about a discount for the inconvenience ? Nope. Nothing. They're idiots and nasty about it when they're in the wrong. Never again. Total incompetence. read more

the food and atmosphere were both so good , staff friendly ..looking forward to trying more things on the menu

I ordered a Greek salad no onions with fried chicken they didn't give me the chicken guy claims he didn't hear me maybe he shouldn't be the one that takes the order if he can't hear read more

We ordered the number three combo which came with a plain pie, wings and a parmesan rice ball. Everything was pretty good just a bit salty. The rice ball had ground meat in it which was surprising. I wasn't a fan of the meat being in it but the sauce was delicious. This is a good place to order from. read more

Lived in the area a while before I finally decided to try them. Should have done so years ago. The pizza is fantastic! We tried the regular pie, white and Sicilian so far and all are wonderful. Definitely planning to try additional menu items soon read more

I am very disappointed at this restaurant. I frequently go there for my son primarily he loves the pepperoni knots. I went there this evening and my son was given a regular slice instead of the Sicilian slice he ordered. i am a single parent and work all the time I actually stopped there on a break from work to get my son food. after I was finished working I went back in hopes of the restaurant rectifying their error. the website states they are there til 10 pm. I arrived at 9:07 pm. I was told u can't bring it back and I have no Sicilian slices I close in 10 min. I said well the website states 10 pm. he responded well we close at 9:30pm on Sunday's . I replied so now I'm basically throwing away money since he won't eat the wrong slice he was given. Well he replied I can throw it out for you. That is disappointing and poor customer service. I didn't ask for the wrong slice nor should I have to waste my hard earned money, I should've been compensated. I told my son we will never go there again that is no way to treat a paying customer. I am very disappointed read more

Excellent pizza and so many options! We ordered mozzarella sticks and they were the perfect combination of the cheese and breading. We all did some individual pies that tasted good. A little greasy, but it's pizza so take it as you want ! read more

Good taste, good food, good service. The pizza, the chicken Cesar salad wrap and the dish Villa Delight are my favorite ones. You must try it !! read more

Underrated - great pizza and good service....difficult getting in and out but worth it

Not my favorite. Pizza came out super soggy, oily, and so bland. It didn't have a taste which was disappointing. Came on a weekday night at the beginning of the week and the counter people didn't even acknowledge us for a solid 5 minutes. Not even a "hello". They were too busy frantically running back and forth/in and out of the kitchen for what seemed like nothing. No orders were being made, no speaking, no food being prepared, just seemed like an act. When we were finally helped, the guy that took my money, used a calculator to ring us up which is obviously fine, but still proceeded to give me the wrong change. $2 less than I should've had. He was also acting crazed and running around - for no reason. It seems like that's a tactic they use to distract you because while we ate our soggy bland pizza, two customers came in. One they charged his card for something he didn't order and when he asked to be refunded they said "don't worry about it, just pick something else out". And another woman paid and never received her salad, so she had to come back in. If you go - I guess don't go during the week, they're too busy. And ALWAYS count your change. I wish I took a photo of the pizza, but you're not missing much or anything at all. read more

This used to be my favorite little hidden italian restaurant. The food and wine is very good but I feel like portion sizes have gotten smaller, and it's still expensive. read more

Our favorite pizzeria in the area! We always get the Sicilian pie and it's hot and fresh every time !!!!

I came here for the first time in about five years. I have nothing but good things to say. We came down for their Pasta Night special, and the price was unbeatable. It came with a salad, a meal (which you had plenty of amazing options to choose from), a soda, a coffee/tea & dessert, and of course bread for the table. The service was amazing. Santiago waited on us, and he was polite, punctual, engaging, and very friendly. The dining room was nice to sit and have a date night. The salad was about average, nothing much to say about that. My husband got the Villa Combo, which was stuffed shells, baked ziti, and manicotti. He loved it. It had lots of cheese, a very generous portion. I got the Rigatoni Florentine, and it was so good. The pink sauce was nice and thick, the chicken was perfectly cooked. The garlic knots were some of the best either of us have had in years, and the dessert (we both got chocolate mousse) was very delicious. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who asks, and I have a new go-to Italian place. read more

Was asked what I wanted for Father's Day and when I responded " A Pie with Anchovies and a Peroni" I was given an answer of " it's your day and you could have whatever you want" Since I wanted simple and pizza makes me happy I decided that is what I definitely wanted. My Girlfriend took me to Villa Grazia and we were so happy we went. The Restaurant is a true throwback to the old school neighborhood restaurants of Brooklyn and Queens. The decor is authentic Sicilian style and combined with the Sicilian Husband and Wife owners who greet you like you are Family, it is worth a visit so you can get a feel for how a true Italian restaurant should be run. When you go make sure you go hungry because the food is spectacular and the portions are enough for a nice leftover meal the next day. Villa Grazia is definitely a place to try, you won't be disappointed! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. A pizza restaurant on Long Island in New York no less is making dishes as if they were in the Great Depression somewhere in the Midwest. Asking for a simple family favorite Baked ziti and what I was served was what could only be called depression pasta. To be more clear under cooked ziti, watered down tomato sauce; not even sure if it even touched a stove at all, and two scoops of right from the fridge ricotta. As an Italian American 3rd generation in this country I say to you, There is nothing Italian about your establishment! read more

I don't think it's too much to ask for that when you order out you expect fresh food. I ordered a chicken parm hero and the chicken was so old that it was discolored. Do me a favor and when the chicken is more than two days old feed it to your dog or throw it away read more

Villa Grazia - Chicken Parmigiana Hero - Pizza Near Me - Centereach, New York

Nice place. We don't usually go for pizza & Italian on the road because we have so much of it at home, but my cousin kept telling me how much she loved this place. The sandwiches we ordered were very good. I had chicken parm and brought half of it home. It was a generous serving and very fresh. My husband had meatball, and said he really loved it. We didn't try their pizza or any of their pasta dishes, so I can't comment, but the sandwiches were very good. I'm sure we'll try something else the next time we go out to visit my cousin. read more

They are great, best clams casino I've had in years and my husband's meatball parmigiana sandwich was the best ! Delivered quickly and good was hot. We are very very pleased read more

This is another "pizzeria ristorante," but I'm really surprised this place hasn't been reviewed yet-- it's always busy! I used to come often during my broke-college-student days for a slice. Their pizza is EXCELLENT-- pies are fresh and there's lots of specialty slices. More recently, I came to dine-in. Their bread service is great, and comes with Italian bread & butter, cheesy bread, bruscetta, and garlic knots. Awesome. The menu is expansive; it took me a long time to look through everything. I decided on the Mussels Marinara Appetizer as an entrée instead of a pasta dish, so I could nosh on the bread basket and not suffer from carb-overdose. The "appetizer" was delicious and HUGE-- a mountain of plump mussels with big chunks of tomato in the marinara sauce. I barely got through half. The rest is sitting in my fridge for lunch (and probably also dinner) tomorrow. My dining partner had the Chicken Romano which also came in an enormous portion, and INCLUDED a house salad and a side of spaghetti. Seriously, the value here is unbeatable. Service was knowledgeable and attentive. I'd recommend it for both lunch & dinner, families & date nights, as well as dine-in & take out. read more

Still a terrific family run place to get tasty pizza and Italian food. This pizza joint/Italian restaurant has been in this spot for many years and I can remember my mom bringing home pies from it for our Friday night pizza fests growing up out on Long Island. Well, I returned recently and glad to say that they still make a solid pizza here. Tasty Sicilian pie. Even though it has different owners and a new name the food still tastes good. The menu is actually quite large and offers up a lot of the the normal Italian meal options. They even have a lunch specials menu that looks terrific and has three combo options in the $7 to $9 range. They also offer gluten free penne pasta and pizza's. Check out their website for weekly dinner and pizza specials, along with some discount coupons. The restaurant itself is clean and inviting for a quick sit down meal. It's not the biggest spot but has a nice decor. Still feels as if you are eating in a pizza place overall, but the service was nice and attentive. Worth a try if in the area. read more

Awful customer service here. Employees are very rude especially the owner. Never happy to talk to anyone always has an attitude. Also asked for a side of vodka sauce he said its a $1.50 no problem i looked at the aide of sauce and its about two spoonfuls of sauce. What a rip off this place is i will not be back. Rude and over priced! read more

Great variety of different types of slices. I personally love the upside down slice or the Brooklyn slice as they call it. It has the sauce on top of the cheese. I also love the onion and tomato with balsamic drizzle. Regular slice is ok but this is the place I go when I want a specialty slice. read more

Villa Grazia - Family lunch.... chicken vodka pizza - Pizza Near Me - Centereach, New York

Came back to give them another chance after my last review. I couldn't believe that once again, months later, I received another stale, overcooked pie which was disgusting It was like cardboard, as if it was sitting on top of the pizza oven all day. No gooey cheese, no fresh sauce dripping off. You know the type, I'm sure you've all had at least one slice like this once in your life. Well this is now my second pie from them in this condition. Never going back, we're in the heart of Long Island with so many options. read more

Ordered a bunch of different things. Pasta was cooked well and there was plenty of leftovers. We thought the fresh tomato, mozzarella and balsamic app was going to be cold but it was on top a hero warmed up. Not a cold dish. Still good. They never seem to have all the desserts that are in the menu. read more

This is an updated review after my 5 star review back in August 2018. Not sure what happen but the food is good but the service is HORRIBLE. I never seen anything like this In my life and I'm done with this place. Here's a few things that happen since I wrote that 5 star review. I placed a order to come pick up with the coupon they have on their website. I go there to pick it up and they said we need the coupon. I pulled it up on my phone and the guy didn't want to take it. Really? I have it on my phone. Why you need the copy?So you can throw it in the garbage. They gave it to me but we're nasty about it. Another time I placed an order and when it came, they gave me a black burnt chicken parm hero. I never seen anything like that before . You would send that out? It was insane. I'm not a person that complains about little things and all but this is uneatable. I called and they sent it back after like 45 minutes when my family ate the pie already so it kinda messed up my night. Didn't even say sorry when he brought me another. Now I should have said I'm done with this place but I gave it more chances and here's more. I came there for Valentine's Day with my wife and son. There was a new waitress that I never seen before. I heard the really nice Italian lady had left. She was the best. She knew who we were. She was nice to my son.We really enjoyed coming there for her. Now this girl was young but she seemed out of it. I don't know. I ordered a app and she brought out our entrees first! Wtf? I said what about the pizza and she's like ooo they dropped it? Ummm ok. She brought it out after. Why would I want it now?!?? She did give us a free dessert and I appreciate that but I decided to give it another chance. My wife,son, and I come for lunch after we see lunch specials on their website. We sit down and he tries to give us the main menus. I said no we want the lunch special. He then gives us a menu with 4 things on it. I said no, we want this and I show him the menu on his website. He said that's old and we don't use it. But he did finally give it to us but it was like why do you have it on your website then? That made me upset but now I'm getting to the last one were we will never ever come back again. Ever! My wife,son, and mother in law come there at 4:45 to have an early Sunday dinner and of course there's no on eating there( and why is that? That hAs to be a reason this place is always dead) anyway, it's the same young girl from Valentine's Day but I didn't think anything bad because last time was last time but anyway, she doesn't come to our table for about 10 minutes. Then we ask for a cup with lid for my son. Doesn't come back until 20 minutes after because she takes forever to bring things. She even came to our table about 40 minutes after we ordered our food to ask what kinda pasta we want again!!! We were all getting fed up. It was getting too long and slower and slower. She had a story but then don't come to work there. My mother in law had enough and went to go talk to the boss( bald, 4 eyed douchebag) who tells her to relax and all. Really? Lucky I didn't hear this until after. We were there over an hour and all we had was water and small salad. We walked out and not a I'm sorry or anything. It was the first time that ever happen to me. Overall, Even tho the food is good. This place is a sh*t hole. There's tons of other places around. This place needs Gordon Ramsay ( Kitchen Nightmares) read more

Have eaten here five times. The counter food is very good but is overpriced. The restaurant side has always been a great experience. Service and food was excellent!! Awesome marinara sauce. Very generous with bread, garlic knots and infused oil. Definitely going to be my regular spot for Italian dining. Had to take a star away for the counter prices. Overall, highly recommend dining in! read more

This place was good. We came for chicken bite and the food tasted amazing. They were hurrying us though and made some mistakes but took off some of our bill. I will come back in the future for even more good stuff here! read more

Ah! This place is soo good! My boyfriend brought me here for our first date, and ever since we tried it we go pretty much every chance we get to go out and have a nice dinner. Be warned: their portions are enormous! We made the mistake of ordering appetizers along with our entrees and I thoroughly ate myself into a food coma. The pasta is delicious, and the bread they put out for the table is hot and orgasmic. The staff is really nice, too! I'd recommend anything there, just decide whether you'd like to share a couple of appetizers or just have an entree and stick with that. Actually, A whole entree would probably feed about three mildly hungry people. Whatever, it's always fun to have leftovers so I won't complain. But! You must go there and try everything. read more

I live in Staten Island which is VERY VERY far from this place so I would have never known of it. I was invited to a party out in Long Island that was catered by Villa Grazia. This food was DELICIOUS!!! It was catered so there was a large selection of things, but I had to have tried it all. Everything was delicious!!!! If you look at my other comments you can tell I am honest with my comments! I have lived in Brooklyn all my life and now am in Staten Island and have not tasted a better tasting Italian restaurant! read more
