We came for lunch without reservations (5 of us) we were greeted by the hostess and immediately sat us. The server Jorge was great, happy, and extremely attentive to our requests. One of the guests has dairy allergies and he asked the chef If her request would be fulfilled. Needless to say her request was fulfilled, our drinks were promptly served. The food was amazing, omg the meatballs were tasty and fresh. The eggplant and the vegan pasta were delicious. The artwork is amazing would love to purchase one or two painting. We will be back to try the pizza making. Kudos to the staff and the chef! read more

Adoro Lei has become rather mediocre. The pizza remains good but not as great as it once was. It exists because it has a great bar business and a bit of a scene. The food is just ok, the service is a bit better and the ambiance is fun. Go with low expectations and will at least be satisfied. read more

They have a full menu if you don't want to make a pizza We ate at Adoro Lei before taking a short walk to the Soho Playhouse. We arrived early because the show started at 7 PM. By the time we left, all of the larger tables were filled by groups making pizza. The cocktails were good. Perhaps the Smoked Old Fashioned was better than most. The fresh pasta was very good. We enjoyed the Pappardelle. The room is comfortable and the service is attentive. read more

My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate Valentine's Day after seeing the boozy brunch pizza-making featured on social media. When we entered the restaurant, there was dim lighting and it was decorated for Valentine's Day. I admit that the decorations seemed tacky with streamers and paper hearts hanging from the ceiling. Regardless, we were excited for our meal and were first presented with the toppings (cheese, tomato sauce, potato slices, pepperoni, green onions, ground pork, and mushrooms). We were disappointed by the lack of selection in the toppings especially since my boyfriend does not eat pork and some of the toppings were atypical (potato slices and green onions). We were then given balls of pizza dough and provided with instructions on how to work with the dough to stretch it into a pizza shape. We were given very little time to do this and felt very rushed by the staff. We also felt that we did not have enough time to put on the toppings and spread the tomato sauce to our liking before our waitress returned to take our pizzas away. The appetizers were also a bit questionable. We were each given a single poached egg garnished with an avocado slice and cherry tomatoes. We also had waffles with strawberries and chocolate drizzles. The waffles tasted stale despite the appealing appearance. However, once our pizzas came out, they were delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed it! At the beginning of the meal, I was given a rose which was a nice gesture! We finished up with dessert which consisted of cotton candy and beignets/donuts, which I didn't even try since they didn't look appetizing to me. My boyfriend tried a donut and said it tasted stale. Overall, we did not have a great time at Adoro Lei especially for the high price we had to pay ($90). We will admit that the staff was phenomenal at the bottomless aspect of the meal and was constantly refilling our glasses! read more

Slid through here on a rainy Wednesday night for a Boozy pizza making class for our company All Hands event. We were rolling DEEP. 37 of us strolled into Adoro Lei, some already a couple High Noons deep getting loose. It's always fun seeing coworkers go mask off. My social battery was on life support, so I was just tucked in the corner big chilling. Plus I'm really shy and insecure. Our Serbian waitress came over and started instructing us on how to properly make pizza. My first thought was skepticism, as what do Serbians know about pizza? What does Gaga know about cameras? But then I checked myself and realized it's close enough to Italy to get a pass... and she was really sweet. I felt like a 1504 Michelangelo sculpting the dough, meticulously putting on the right amount of sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. They instructed us to name our pizza, and I thought we were really naming the pizza and not just putting our name, so I named mine Schrodinger's Cat. Big up to my guy Schrodinger. Once all the pizzas were cooked, they came around and gave shots to whoever they thought had the best looking pizza. Objectively speaking, Schrodinger's Cat was the clear winner, but they ended up giving it to the top performing sales guy whose pizza looked like it was made by a 4th grader. I think the C-Suite called in the fix on that one. If you can believe it, Schrodinger's Cat tasted even better than it looked. Honestly some great pizza. My compliments to the chef.

Had the pleasure of checking out Adoro Lei for my sister's birthday for the Boozy Pizza Making Nite. The establishment had great ambience, their staff was very friendly from beginning to end. They guided us through the process, explained what to expect, and brought out all the ingredients for us to create our pizzas. Once we finished assembling them, the staff labeled our creations, whisked them away to bake, and served us appetizers while we sipped on our drinks. The whole experience was super enjoyable and would recommend for your next celebration! read more

3.5/5 I only came here for the boozy pizza making class. I wasn't a fan of the appetizer options, but it was fun making our own pizza and the bottomless drinks were great. On the weekends it's very loud here so not great for a date night or get together where you're trying to catch up read more

My coworker's and I decided to hang out and try something new. We made reservations for seven people for the pizza making. When we arrived we where seated right away the staff was very nice. The establishment is very nice the bathroom are located down stairs very clean. We had red wine or prosecco then started making our pizza's with toppings. As the pizza was cooking the table was served salad and rice balls. Once the pizza was ready we was served. The food was great the service was excellent. read more

An interesting but one dimensional addition to my outer radius lunch rotation. $18.99 "fixed" lunch menu forces any serious eater to order the meatball app (4 meatballs) and the meatball parm sandwich. In total, this involves 9, 10, maybe even 11, pretty tasty large meatballs. For a high protein diet, this is solid, and the sauce and bread were good, too. The temperature of the meatballs ranged from medium to scalding the roof of my mouth five minutes after being served. The atmosphere of the restaurant is pretty weird, not really an "upscale pizza party" but more of a pizza restaurant with gimmicky nightclub elements. I smelled burnt rubber for half the time that I was here (unsure if this came from inside the restaurant or from the open front door). For what it's worth, the C health grade (accurate as of today, 5/20/25) is really bad and I don't recall seeing this posted prominently. read more

Ambiance: The inside was Christmas themed which was really cute since we went late December. Everything was sparkly. My only complaint are the tables, they are too small for a pizza making class on top of drinks and your personal items! it made it very hard to maneuver and not spill. Service: The service was good the host taught us exactly how to make our pizza and was quick with our bottomless drinks and appetizers. Food: I will say that the food was amazing the appetizers, drinks and especially our pizzas! For the price I would come again but with a smaller group for more space. I would love to come back to try their regular menu one day since I just came for the pizza making read more

Steer clear from here!!!*** Came here with my two friends this weekend and the waiter was extremely rushy and rude during the pizza making experience. We could not even make the dough neatly and put on our toppings without him hovering over our table go take the topping away. Then he proceeds to pass out plates to us for the apps. 2/3 dishes had specs and spots on it. He noticed it because he paused before placing it in front of me and still placed it front of me to eat off of. We had to request to give us new ones. Worst of all they burnt 2/3 pizza. One was baked appropriately, mine was on the darker side but still kind of edible and the last one was completely burnt. Could you imagine that they add $53 gratuity charge automatically for that? $300 for terrible service, burnt pizza, house wine, and dirty dishes. Complete waste. read more

Celebrated my bestfriend birthday in their private room located on the lower level. The party size was at least 16 people. The room was has intimate dining vibe but what I liked is they allowed us to play own music (Bluetooth speakers). We had 2 hours of unlimited drinks. Our server was older male who was so nice, great customer service. Making the pizzas were so cool, the server came around to ensure we were getting it right. Toppings were provided: cheese, pepperoni, jalapeño, sausage, fresh basil, & arugula. Pizza was good, slightly burnt but nonetheless good. I'd definitely recommend for date night or fun girls night to do. read more

I want to start off by saying we booked a 90 minute boozy pizza making class. Our intentions were to have a fun, holiday activity with eachother that wouldnt break the bank. It came out to $109 per person with gratuity which is a STEAL if you ask me. Dinner, unlimited wine and beer and VIBES. -Pizza making was actually fun, they brought us pork-free toppings upon request, and more cheese. We never had to ask for more wine they always had a carafe ready to fill our cups once they went below halfway. Server was amazing, friendly, quick and attentive. -The reason im giving 3 stars is: The DJ was ATROCIOUS, the only reprieve was when our server let us hook up our phone to the speaker and just play from my personal Spotify. -We were a group of 3 sat with 2 couples on dates and a whopping 18 top of 21 year old girls...... you know the vibes. Screeching, yelling and not listening to their server- these girls were given endless plates of toppings and FRESH Basil ? We had to ask our server after the fact to give us fresh basil after our pizzas already came back out fully cooked. We had to beg for napkins and beg to order another appetizer..... like ? -They put us in the basement.... not the same Christmas decor or vibe -Dessert was not good at all. I would've preferred little rainbow cookies or just a scoop of ice cream tbh. Churros were baked from frozen and soggy, no flavor... Zeppolis were also somehow soggy and tasted like cardboard But it is a fun activity if you dont go in with high expectations read more

I came for the boozy pizza making experience! Doing the activity itself was fun but the salad and truffle rice balls tasted okay. I wish they offered more options for the toppings on your pizza but the experience was still enjoyable. We shaped the pizzas into heart shaped pizzas which was cute. The ambiance isn't romantic and has a bar like atmosphere but it's still a great idea for a date night. It's great for groups as well. The people were really nice so the service was great also. read more

This was a fun ladies night out. The atmosphere was lively and the music was perfect on the night we went. The chef came over and showed us how to form our pizza, some of us went for hearts..because Love month. We shared laughs as we enjoyed making our pizza and waiting for it to cook. While we waited, we enjoyed salad and some other light snacks along with our bottomless wine. There were 5 of us and we received 7 rice balls instead of 10 to equal 2 each, they brought out fresh ones when we mentioned this. The bathroom is downstairs, it was clean. I do wish they had hooks for our purses or jackets (at the tables, they had hooks at the bar) and more variety for toppings (I like pineapple on my pizza lol..yes I'm one of those people) I would do this again. read more

Very nice quick service experience. We came here around 2:45 on a Friday, it was not crowded and we were able to sit right away. They had a happy hour from 2-7, $8 margaritas and well drinks. It's a pretty casual atmosphere, photos on the wall, dark wood floor, but well lit inside. The food and service was very quick, we were in and out in less than an hour. We had the pepperoni pizza and the thin crust pizza for lunch, we left feeling pretty full between the two of us! read more

My friends and I went in on a Friday around 4:15. We were the only party in there until around 5:30p. ( we didn't mind) We did not do the boozy drink option because everyone in the party had to be participating in it. (All you can drink Prosecco, wine & beer) for additional $20 each person. I believe you needed a reservation for the pizza making. I liked that the pizza decorating was simple, fun, but so cute. The meal itself included making the pizza, arancini balls and salad while the pizza was in the oven & a small dessert. When we were leaving around 6pm ish a Dj was starting to set up! I think this spot would be great over break for a first date or a chill date spot or small group of friends. read more

I never feel compelled to leave a bad review but what I have experienced from Adoro Lei was completely unprofessional. I would love to rate it a zero if I could. I found this place on tik tok so I knew they would get busy and that is why I called to book my reservation a month before the actual a date. I called to place a reservation for my boyfriend's birthday dinner a month in advance on 8/29 for the dinner to be in September. They don't take big party reservations online so I had to call them. The hostess I spoke on the phone with asked me for my card information at that time and I gave it to her to book that reservation. A week before my reservation, I called to confirm my reservation and I was informed by another host that my reservation wasn't there. I expressed my frustration on what had occurred for the host to tell me that he will take down my number and have someone call me back in 3 minutes. For starters, the phone was extremely staticky and impossible to hear what he was saying. He hung up the phone after I had given him my number. I called back a few minutes later since no one had called me back yet just for the host to end the call on me without speaking. I called multiple times and they ignored my calls. I called on another phone and that's when he picked up the phone again. I told him that I want to speak to a manager and he again told me that the manager will be coming in soon and that she will call me back. It has been hours later and I have not heard back from them at all. They are completely unprofessional and ruined what was supposed to be a celebration. It was extremely hard to find another restaurant who was willing to take a big party in such short notice and it was all thanks to the staff at Adoro Lei. Thankfully we dodged a bullet with the reservation as the reviews for this place are not that good. They have a history of being bad with their customer service so avoid them at all costs. read more

Adoro Lei - The initial call I made about a month ago to place the reservation. - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Came here with a party of 7 for my friends bday celebration. Place seems to be great for happy hour vibes - loud dj music, minimal lightning, fake candles on the table. We ordered a few apps and pasta to share in addition to the one meter long pizza which lets you choose 3 types of pizzas. We choose the niccolo, pietro, and margherita as our pizza of choice. The pietro was definitely my favorite. The Caesar salad was a great app loved the dressing. As for the pasta the penne was a fan favorite. The sauce was great and very Al dente the way we love it. The rigatoni was definitely not as Al dente. While the food was amazing and definitely worth coming for our service seemed to be a little slow. Our waitress was great and very friendly but she seemed to be in charge of many things that night including bartending. Not her fault at all it just seemed like they were understaffed that night causing some delays towards the end of our meal. Would definitely come back! read more

We went for the experience of making our own pizza. The bonus is being able to eat the product that you create. This establishment over cooked my pizza and would not admit their error. My pizza came out with burnt cheese and crust. Adoro Lei's remedy was to make me another pizza; why would that be the remedy, when the whole idea is to make your own pizza? Yes, they gave me 25% off my bill, but I did not get to enjoy my creation. I will not recommend this establishment for the following reasons: 1. I was told that most people like their pizza thoroughly cooked. 2. I was told that my friend's creation looked undercooked. Which would indicate that their kitchen staff needs more training. 3. They would not acknowledge their error. I'm done, actually past done as in my overcooked personal pizza. read more

I can always rely on Adoro Lei for a great lunch or happy hour for a large group. There is a wide variety of specialty pizzas. My faves include The Perfect Pie, Boozy Polito, and the Margherita. For large groups there is the meter size pizza where you choose 3 Adoro pies. As far as ambiance, it has a more upscale loungey feel than your avg pizza joint, plus has a bar. read more

Adoro Lei has been on my list for a while, so when I saw they had Pulsd deal, it was the perfect opportunity to visit. My husband and I came in with a resso for a Friday 4:45 pm. There were a few tables but it was empty for the most part, which is what we were hoping for. For $39, the deal includes a starter (choose from appetizer, pasta, hero, or salad) a 16-inch pizza, and a bottle of house red or white wine. They also have happy hour from 3-7 on weekdays (and 5-7 on Saturdays) with a few drink and food specials. We ordered some of the rice balls. It comes 3 small ones to a plate, but it was a good starter size. It came out piping hot and freshly fried. We considered ordering another one but had to stop ourselves. For the deal, this is what we chose: Charcuterie board for 2 (prosciutto, soppresatta, pepperoni, olives, parmigiano chunks, garlic bread) - so the description said garlic bread, but I'm pretty sure it was just regular bread, which I was fine with. You really can't go wrong with meat, cheese, and bread. I even added some of the meats to one of my slices The Perfect Pie (mushroom & caramelized onions, ricotta, fresh mozzarella, topped with arugula and truffle oil) - this was SO good. The caramelized onions added a nice sweetness to the pie, and you could actually taste the truffle oil despite all of the other ingredients. We had filled up on the charcuterie board so we actually ended up taking more than half the pie home. But I ain't mad at that Malbec - this was pretty basic tasting and it was a twist off. It was very dry - we ended up ordering a coke towards the end to mix it with, making our own Spanish cocktail Overall, it was a good experience (even though the restaurant did have an off-putting chemical cleaner smell, but I think I would come back - even if I didn't have a Pulsd deal. read more

Food was so yummy! We went during brunch in Sunday. So we made our own pizza, unlimited mimosa (had options for beer, wine and other stuff). The staff Laura Maria was lovely, very attentive and sweet. Music was being played not too high not too low. The ambiance was good and I was told it's even better on Friday and Saturdays. We all for deserts that isn't shown in the picture or was various ones. Strongly recommend good for date outings. Will be back. read more

Perfect for date night or girls night! read more

Came for a double date and while it was a lot of fun, the service was really lacking. The "class" itself lasted probably a solid 10 minutes, which was just a simple demonstration of how to spread the dough out into a circle. We were also told that they'd pick a winner with the "best looking pizza" for a prize and they never did that. We wanted to celebrate our friend's birthday and requested a birthday surprise after seeing another table getting those sparkling candles. We finally got them after waiting for about 20-30 minutes and reminding them not once, but twice, even though the place was half empty and not busy at all. Lastly, I prepaid a portion of our bill upon booking our reservation ahead of time but was still charged for what I already paid on top of the bill. They got it fixed after I brought it up but that was just a wtf moment because I booked directly through them so how did they not keep note of that? If I had been careless, that would've been an extra $65 out the door. This was a fun experience but I don't think I'd do it again and would rather pay a little more for a legitimate cooking class. read more

Very nice ambience. The decor is really pretty. The service it was great. Their food is so delicious. We came in with a Groupon and they honored it, which was so awesome. This isn't your typical pizzeria. It's a very upscale looking restaurant that offers a great selection of pastas and pizzas. We got their vodka pie, chicken cutlet sandwich, and a couple of glasses of wine and moscow mules. Everything was so yummy. The pizza pies are about $25-$30 and they're definitely huge enough to fill you up without extra appetizers or entrees. When I say huge, I mean HUUUUUUGE. Our server, Denitsa, was so attentive and friendly. It's definitely a chill vibe if you go right when they open, which is when we went at 5PM, but it definitely looks like a place to go to with friends on a late Saturday night. They also have comedy specials going on downstairs which is awesome in case you want to catch a show after a quick bite. Groupon or no Groupon, definitely coming back here. You won't be disappointed in their service or food. read more

Like many others lately, we came for the boozy pizza making. It was such a fun night and an unbeatable value! At $85 per person, you get to make and eat a personal pizza, bottomless beer/wine for 2 hours, appetizers, and dessert. You make the pizza right at your table. The fried risotto balls we had as one of our apps were also delicious. They kept coming by to top off our prosecco and we were very well taken care of.

I came to adoro Lei March 23rd, a Saturday around 9pm. From the moment my boyfriend and I walked in, it felt like a huge nice party vibe with everyone enjoying themselves, the Dj playing the right tunes and everyone just having a good time. Initially, we almost left the place because the waiter wanted to seat us in a corner looking at a scooter out the window . I asked if there was another available seating as I had seen am empty table in the middle , to which she stated " yeah it's empty but it's going to be used for something else " whatever that meant . It truly felt like she didn't want to seat us in the middle . I guess she read the demeanor of my boyfriend and I because within 2 minutes she changed her tune and allowed us to sit at the empty table in the middle that I previously showed her . We got seated and we came for the boozy pizza making experience, we were both super excited for it as neither of us had made pizza before . We were given the option of white wine , red wine , beer or prosecco for our unlimited drinks , I loved the options but we chose white wine. For appetizers we were given salad and "truffle" rice cheese balls . I put the truffle in quotations because there was no sign of truffle, just cheese and the paired marinara was lackluster . The salad disappointed me because this is not how you present a salad , you can tell it's been sitting in a bucket drenched in the balsamic vinaigrette because the salad was soggy , not fresh at all . Rating for appetizers 4/10 Honestly I wish I could give a higher rating because the ambiance , music and experience was a 9/10 but the pizza was so mid ! All the food was mid or below mid .The pizza had no flavorrrrr , no amount of toppings could of saved that lol . Pizza 5/10 Dessert were cinnamon sticks and zeppoles , flavor was good but the dough or breading used was cheap , it was hollow inside , no bite at all . read more
