Douglaston Salad

After many years of my parents and brothers ordering from Aegea West, I finally came around to making a review because of how consistently good the pizzas and the salads are from here. There aren't many other restaurants that are as consistent with the quality of the dishes and ingredients as Aegea, with dishes like their extra-large pizzas pretty much feeding our entire family for dinner that day (parents and two brothers included). I will add a follow up review when we next order a pizza from them again just for the pictures for size scale, frankly nothing beats it in value, at least locally from personal experience. And whenever I am in the mood for something different, you cannot go wrong with the salads and wraps, a particular favorite and really consistent one being the Douglaston salad/wrap, which has every single ingredient compliment the rest rather well, the chicken cutlet, the honey mustard, the mozzarella, the lettuce and the pita, it all fits so well together we honestly can't stop ordering that dish haha (picture below). Just make sure to eat it when you pick it up/have it delivered when the chicken is still warm and it's perfect!

Horiatiki salad
John W.

My experience getting food from Aegea was a pretty good one. I got my food delivered and the service was great. They processed my order and cranked the food out of the kitchen in no time. There's a great variety of items on the menu, and some interesting fusions of different cuisines. I wanted to try them all, but I ended up getting the Horiatiki salad, gyro sandwich, pesto chicken pizza, and Aegea fries. The price totaled to ~$40 (for the food only), which I think is a reasonable and affordable price. My favorite was the aegea fries (I think their house fries) - they were well seasoned and perfectly loaded with cheese and bacon. The house signature sauce on the side was a nice addition as well. I also thought the other items were really good. The gyro sandwich was filled to the brim with a great combination of meat and vegetables, and put a stop to my hunger. The food I was most excited to eat was the pesto chicken pizza, and although I liked it and thought it was tasty, some aspects missed the mark. I couldn't get much of the familiar pesto chicken taste I was anticipating - most of the flavor was masked by a strong char taste in the crust. I enjoyed eating from Aegea and would recommend this place to anybody in the area craving Mediterranean food.

Regular pie with half pepperoni and half mushroom=delicious

Regular pie with half pepperoni and half mushroom=delicious Ordered online and done in less than 20mins it was all about the crust, crunchy flavorful; as you can see from the picture they were not stingy with the toppings I would definitely order from them again.

Surprisingly excellent pizza!

Aegea in Douglaston, is a Greek restaurant that happens to serve pizza. I wanted to try this place as we always drive by this area. We decided to eat in. Judging from the how often the phone rang and the bags of food waiting to be delivered or picked up, I think we made a good choice. We ordered two slices of pizza, a souvlaki plate, a gyro platter and a Greek salad. In totality, the food was above average. Three things stood out to me. The pizza was surprisingly really good, especially with the tomato sauce that they used. It was tart, in the old school way, and delicious. The souvlaki plate was also above average with tender pieces of pork grilled to perfection. As for the gyro platter, it was classic New York gyro, carved out of a giant gyro block. It was okay. What was very good about this dish was the side of tender bread and white sauce was included in the platter. It was so good, you could eat it on its own. I get the feeling that Aegea is generally a carry out or delivery restaurant as most of the business I saw was done that way. There is a small yet functional seating area, which is fine if you need to eat in. I would come again whenever I need a Greek food fix. I haven't tried the delivery method yet, but might because everyone else seems to do it!

Late night snacks

Stopped in here late at night after getting a Christmas tree on the side of the road. Gyros were great. Staff was very friendly considering how late it was. Has a pizzeria vibe but serving Greek food. Very interesting combination. The place is clean and decorated nicely. I haven't been here until now because it always seemed vey hard to find parking at while driving by. So I would like to come back during a busier time and see what this place is like then.

Love this salad. Must try.

Two years later, and still great food. The delivery guys are very friendly. Order using the online app - it's the easiest.

Manager Beatrice is truly a gem -- very attentive, super sweet, and made my family feel so welcome. The atmosphere was warm, family-oriented, and comfortable. The prix fixe menu was excellent from beginning to end. For appetizers, my mom had the burrata with heirloom tomatoes, and my sister and I had Nonna's meatballs, which were delicious. My sister had the rigatoni, my mom had the salmon, and I had the short rib of beef, which melted in my mouth like butter -- that's how tender the meat was. For dessert, I had the cannoli's while my mom and sister enjoyed the chocolate lava cake. Everything was flavorful and beautifully prepared. The bathrooms were also nice and clean, which is always a plus. My family and I will definitely be coming back again -- even if it's just to stop in for a lychee martini and the grilled octopus, one of my favorite meals. Highly recommend for a family dinner, date night, or casual night out

Our server was very pleasant and happened to be the only one working at the time, though with so few guests, it seemed to be all that was needed. We ordered the three-course lunch special. One set included the meatballs to start, followed by the chicken Parmesan and bomboloni for dessert. The other included a Caesar salad, tagliatelle Bolognese, and tiramisu. There was a bit of a longer-than-expected gap between the appetizer and the entrée, especially considering we were essentially the only table being served, as the other guests had already finished their meal. That was a little frustrating. Aside from that, most of the food was solid. The only real disappointment was the chicken Parmesan, which was quite overcooked. It was unfortunate given that the kitchen was only cooking for the two of us. That said, the mashed potatoes, an unusual pairing with chicken Parmesan were excellent: perfectly creamy and incredibly smooth. The tiramisu was also quite good, but the real standout was the bomboloni. I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed them, since fried doughnuts wouldn't normally be my first choice for dessert. I would definitely return.

This is because the food was overpriced for the quality of dishes served. The bread was room temperature and was obviously purchased from a bakery. I was expecting warm bread, recently baked in an oven--the kind that would instantaneously melt butter smeared with a knife. I had the fried calamari appetizer. The calamari was somewhat rubbery, and it was coated in a tad too much flour. I prefer mine flash fried in a dusting of flour. The calamari did not taste fresh caught, either, and It was served with a side of garlic aioli. My preference is for a side of marinara sauce, which pairs perfectly with calamari. I had the Lobster Il Toscano, which cost $85. It was lobster meat from two, one pound lobsters sautéed out of their shells. The lobster was between firm and mushy. It did not taste fresh caught, like what I get in the summertime for a similar price while dining in any of the seaside restaurants in the Hamptons or Montauk. I also ordered the New Old Fashioned, whose main ingredients are Maker's Mark and Vermouth. I did not like it because I do not like Vermouth. I overlooked that it had Vermouth in it when I was looking at the cocktail menu. My dinner cost me $132 because they put a mandatory $20 mandatory tip on the check. The bill was originally $112. CAVEAT EMPTOR: There is a sign saying that they want CASH TIPS! There is free parking in the lot across the street once the ticket is validated in the restaurant. The restaurant is in a Tudor-style dwelling, and it is big enough for celebrations and events.

I told everyone about it, that it was some of the best pizza in New York. I gave them so many chances. Last night was the final straw. Made a reservation for Friday night at 8PM. We arrived at 8:05. The waitress who's basically always there, who sounds like she smokes about a pack a day, was the only waitress there that night. I felt for her, but also, not my problem. We didn't receive water or a full set of utensils and menu until about 8:15. At about 8:25, she took our order, and we ordered a few apps and calzone and pizza. I had to ask for my coke about 4 times until she remembered to bring it. Water was NEVER refilled. We were never asked if we were ok. Around 8:50, we finally received our apps. It was ok, they've made it better in the past. Ambiance was starting to die down as the restaurant was clearing out. We felt a bit bad for her, but also, this wasn't our fault, that they were unprepared for a Friday night rush (her words). By 9:15, we were furious and our moods were ruined. We sat down at 8:05, ordered before 8:30, we were the only ones left and our pizza and calzone were yet to be found. Shortly before 9:30, it arrived. And again, it was pretty good, but not wait over an hour for it good. I wanted this place to succeed. The pizza maker from Italy deserves a better crew. The waitress doesn't know how to be a waitress, at all. No apologies, not taking anything off the check, not checking on us. There's no busboy, no one dedicated to take out, no manager. It seems that everyone plays each others roles, and quite poorly. They've lost a loyal customer tonight. We will NEVER give this place another try.
