Pizza is ALWAYS awesome and their cheesesteaks ROCK!! Ciro and the guys know how to do it right!!! read more

Pretty decent pizza for the area. I think it's probably in the top 5 in the Pasadena, GB, SP area.

Pizza is great no arguing that, we get it when ever we feel like going back out to get it . They are busy, I've seen people waiting outside the door but more times than not they aren't the friendliest I get your busy but that's not a good excuse read more

The best pizza in town as well as the best loaded Italian CC! You have to try their Gnocchi!

Best pizza in Pasadena. Super authentic and I've never been disappointed. Keep being awesome, see ya next time.

Such good pizza! We consider it a local hidden gem with NY style pizza. Our favorite order is a large pizza with prosciutto and red peppers, with a side of toasted ravioli. The pizza is always fresh and hot, and the raviolis are perfectly crispy. read more

I was on a quest for the best NY style pizza in, and around Baltimore. Out of the many recommendations on Facebook, this place struck my curiosity the most. On my first visit the owner hooked me up with a few of his signature garlic rolls (knots) along with my slice of meat lover's and slice of Hawaiian. Everything was ON POINT! Make this place a priority if you've never been. You won't be disappointed!! read more

See all

Our go to place for subs, pizza and wings! Great food and customer service. Best in Pasadena!

Good food and great quality. Staff are friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable and we'll definitely be back soon.

Possibly the best pizza in Anne Arundel. Only been here a couple times so far but on both occasions everything was on point and flavorful! Will be back many times read more

Always a winner!! Delicious dishes. On the busy nights they still crank out the orders...Call ahead of you can.

Love love love this place. Love the Philly cheesesteak pizza lasagna and can go on on and yeah garlic knots

We love New York 1978 Pizza! We have had pizza, lasagna, subs, other pastas....everything has been great! The owner is very friendly. Prices are reasonable. Great local place. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious! We got ours delivered and it was still hot. Serving size was way more than expected. There is a reason they are one of the best in the area! read more

I'm on the fence with this place. The cross was okay A little soggy in the middle. Unfortunately we did not know that when you ordered onions when your pizza they were fried onions. Be prepared. Service is very slow. read more

This place is the real deal! Amazing garlic knots and pizzas. The cheesesteaks aren't bad either. Don't care for the fries, so I recommend getting the side salad instead. Can't wait to try the pasta. My only complaint is that they don't have a great way to track people as they come in - it's more of their own ordering system and not first come first served. But it's worth it for those amazing garlic knots! read more

Pretty good subs, my husband likes the pizza. Always fast for takeout orders. They do tend to run out of things and sometimes the service is a little gruff, but overall it's AOK! read more

Oh my goodness the pizza from here is legit! The sauce, the cheese, and the crust...just perfect! So fresh! The pizza even tastes great the following day or two. Definitely New York style pizza. This place reminds me of a small Italian restaurant. The guys who work there make you feel at home. Places like these are not common in this area. I love 1978 NY Pizza!!! read more

Got the Grandma Pizza tonight. Best Pizza I've had in a long time. Best Pizza I've had in all of MD!

Pizza was excellent and I believe he is the owner is very nice! He gave my daughters quarters to use on the candy machines. I thought that was so sweet. read more

I love this place... The food is always amazing. I love the pizza and the chicken sub... Bring the french fries back. I miss them they were so good. read more

New to the area, ordered carry out. Man at the front desk was rude, the fries were cold and soggy (despite having picked them up within 15 minutes of ordering) and pizza was wet on the bottom. I had high hopes because of the great reviews on yelp, but I ended up throwing both items right in the garbage. read more

A little out of the way for me but this is true classic NY style pizza cooked in an actual oven! Everything I have had has been excellent and the garlic knots are truly outstanding. I am a fan. read more

I'm a New Yorker and the pizza here is spot on.. it's not Naples, but a really good slice!

Garlic knots are amazing!! On Saturdays we have done the Sicilian deal they offer, good price and nice size pizza. We always rave about their marinara sauce! Like I said, get the garlic knots! read more

Bottom line: 2 star Sicilian (burned crust), 4 star garlic knots (tasty, warm, and cooked perfectly) so 3 star overall. The pizza was so promising. They simply cooked it too long. That's not acceptable -this is a science, use a timer. As a Sicilian is 16 slices, 12 of those have crust, and all 12 of these were black and hard on the edges. Only the interior four pieces were right. Won't be returning. Carini's has a better Sicilian - cooked right, every time. read more

awesome pizza, its the real deal. The owners are a trip and the staff is great. Will go back after COVID read more

ordered our usual Grandma's pizza... it was horrible.. and didn't even have the smoked cheese!!! Also had sand in my mouth ... I feel like I was sitting a the beach in Aruba eating a pie.. lotsa sand... wonder if that is bad for the teeth!! Bummer really sad as we usually 4/5 star it! We've eating here since they opened and they really blew it! Too bad.. we really love Grandma's when it's done correctly and are wondering if we ate a couple of slices that had some bad substance on it. 3/4 of the pie went in the trash... Salad, ceaser, was just fine... 2019_02_28 order 24 read more

This place has one of the best meatball subs in Maryland . The house made salad dressing may be the best I have ever had in my life !!! Cozy little place in a strip mall , authentic Italian owner always on site working behind the counter exactly the way you want your Italian restaurant to have . Never a bad experience, just wish they had a soda machine , only individual bottles in cooler available. read more

I asked for some slices if pepperoni pizza to go. There wasn't and fresh so the guy just stuck some pepperoni on some white pizza and it absolutely SUCKED. I would like to get what I am paying for, NOT what is convenient and left over. read more

Ordered pizza from here tonight for a baseball team on vacation for a tournament. Unbelievable service and pizza. The owner and workers were so friendly it was amazing. Highly recommend for anyone out of town or anyone who hasn't tried it!!! read more

I am 100% Italian, and I have high standards for any kind of Italian eating out. I have lived in several spots on the east coast. After living close to NYC for several years, and then being deprived of really good Italian restaurants while living in the Midwest, I was excited at the prospect of moving back to Maryland, and the possibility of good pizza. I have tried several pizza places in the past few years, until 1978 Pizza was recommended to us by some native New Yorkers. This. This friends, is the real deal. The owner came to America from Italy in 1978, hence the name, and it shows. While at the restaurant, I texted a friend who is also of Italian decent the following: "Its [the pizza] got a crispy crust like my grandmother made when I was growing up. I just told my husband that I don't ever want to go out for pizza again unless it's here. I have died and gone to pizza heaven." Although of course not comparable to NYC or even Philadelphia pizza, 1978 definitely has the best pizza in our local area. read more

1978 NY Pizza - Pizza Heaven - Italian Near Me - Pasadena, Maryland

5 star pizza every time! Good hot and maybe even better cold the next morning! I wish they delivered but ever since finding this place, I stopped ordering from those sub tier pizza places. The wings are definitely too crispy for my taste but the garlic knots *chefs kiss* read more

The best local pizza. Usually get the meat lovers. Has that old-timey Italian sub shop vibe. Speaking of subs, their cheesesteak is on point as well. Now if only they delivered... read more

Service was good the pizza was just OK . Too heavy too much cheese. Soggy crust red sauce was good

I was somewhat hesitant to enter this business on Yelp simply because I selfishly didn't want it to get too busy and interfere with my enjoyment! I have only had a select few things on the menu; however those things have been fantastic and long overdue for this area. The pizza is truly great. High quality ingredients are where it's at. Good quality tomato sauce with fresh basil (yes fresh, not dried) really makes it exceptional. The owner takes pride in his product and it shows. Also, the garlic knots are a must if you're in the mood for a garlicky, buttery, carbo-delicous experience. I've had a few of the salads and they're good, but not exceptional. They're pretty much what you would expect from a place like this. I haven't tried any of the pasta dishes mainly because I tend to be a pizza junky so if I'm planning on a visit to 1978 NY Pizza I usually get pizza. Oh, and the calzone/stromboli offerings are very good as well. It's all about the sauce. read more

It's a sad day.. 1978 has already jumped the shark. Do NOT order from here if Ciro isn't working. You will get the leavings and horribly overcooked pizza. The guy in the ball cap who works the front can not be any more rude. Ignores customers, my wife and I flip a coin to see who has to call because we're afraid he's going to answer. It was fun while it lasted... RIP 1978 read more

Love this place- best pizza around!!!!! I won't go anywhere else! Large slices and very reasonably priced.

Love their pizza !!!!! The owner is funny and his staff very kind and helpful. But their pizza is some of the best I have had in years
