Never went here before. Always go to the Hauppauge location. And you know what, the Miller Place location has Hauppauge beat. To be fair I only had their plain regular slice ... but the Miller Place Branchinelli's was def better than Hauppauge . I see a great battle starting to brew. Next I will judge the dinner entrees Let's get it on! read more

Typically I would tell anyone who would listen, that Branchinelli's is one of the best Pizza spots on Long Island. As far as what you would can consider a "Great NY Slice" this place is a must try. If you know pizza, you know that consistency is not easy. Lately, Branchinelli's has been slacking and I can only attribute it to management, turnover and no one paying attention to the kids behind the counter. Whether it is missing items on take-out orders, or lately just rushing through the pie making motions. Two nights ago, we ordered two pies, only to arrive home and find two undercooked slop pies. Pepperoni was thrown on with carelessness with mounds of it all over the place and it was cooked line the pepperoni was an afterthought. The crust was under cooked and overall a soggy mess. This is my favorite place.... Slow it down people and pay attention to detail. Maintain pride and quality along with consistency. The owner needs to be more present and make sure the kids are executing! Attached is a picture of an Undercooked soggy pepperoni Grandma Pie read more

The best meatball heros. Flavorful meatballs unlike most italian restaurants where they're bready and gray looking. I travel for both of their locations read more

Two options- sit down restaurant with larger menu or pizza bar. Opted for quick grab-and-go pizza slices and garlic knots. We sat down at the counter to eat but were kindly told we could enjoy the tables in the dining room if we wanted. Original slice was my favorite, and Margherita was 2nd best. Grandmas slice is thick and super cheesy with flavorful marinara sauce. Garlic knots were great- doughy and warm. read more

Branchinelli's is very generous with their seasonings when it comes to their food and other restaurants should learn from them. Hungry? You won't be waiting long for your food after you place your order! Service 5/5 Food 5/5 Cleanliness 5/5 My boyfriend and I decided to visit Branchinelli's for dinner. I'm really glad we decided on this restaurant because everything was fantastic! Everyone was welcoming and very friendly. The restaurant is very clean and everything smelled delicious. I didn't see any red flags with the staff handling food. Seneca was our server for the evening and we loved him. He did an excellent job, was very polite, professional, very attentive. We were happy was our server and we are very pleased with the service he had provided. We sat down and Seneca served us a basket of warm bread. Well, I should really say that the bread basket was hot and fresh. The two of us agree the focaccia bread tasted great and based off of that, we thought about ordering pizza. We ordered fried calamari (single size), chicken parm (dinner), veal parm (dinner) with a side of ziti. For dessert, we ordered cheesecake and cannoli to take home. My goodness, everything was scrumptious! Guys, I recommend you order dessert. If you'd like more detail on what we've ordered, please continue reading below. Their portion sizes are big. We couldn't finish our meal. A single sized order of fried calamari that was more than enough for us to share. I don't know what they did to the marinara but it was phenomenal. They use real squid and yes, that matters (to me, anyway). Our Chicken and Veal Parm dinners came out piping hot on a metal plate that they've placed on top of the dinner plate. . Two servings of ziti with marinara was served and I was impressed. As I have mentioned at the beginning of this review, the restaurant is very generous with their seasonings! I highly recommend coming to Branchinelli's and we're definitely stopping by again when we're in the area. read more

Delicious baked clams, bread and house salad. Chicken parm and ravioli are also delicious. Very good waitstaff. Thank you for another delicious meal! read more

Garlic knots are $0.50!!!!! Pretty big place, I like that you can sit in or do take out. Grandma pie was yummy, but probably shouldn't eat more than one slice in a sitting because it did feel a bit heavy. Tried the spinach capenollini and was a little disappointed. Didn't feel like a pasta dish as much as a soup of cheese. Waitress recommended adding Alfredo sauce but then it became too heavy. Worked as a good dip for the garlic knots, though! If they offered it as an appetizer where you could dip the knots in this, like spinach artichoke dip, I would definitely be a fan read more

It's. Become my go to Italian food restaurant. I pass at less 3 other Italian restaurants to get there. Best pizza , chicken parm , I've been there with a large group, all gave it 5 stars read more

I've been coming here since I was a little girl, well, the Hauppauge location. This was my first time here. This has become a favorite over the years for our family. Every trip I take up to New York, this is one of my 1st stops and 1 of my favorites. Their pizza is great but they have delicious Italian food as well. My favorite thing to order is the quattro pali, 2 balls of mozzarella and 2 meatballs. It's in the most delicious red sauce. I also enjoy getting the hot and cold salad, which is absolutely delicious with their lemon dressing. The Buffalo chicken pizza is a staple as well. I never knew they had tartufo so I was excited when I found out they had it on the menu as it's my favorite dessert. They also have the best Italian ices. Marco and Anthony were working on this busy Friday night, which is nice to see the owners behind the pizza making. This is a real good family owned, local spot, with authentic food, good service and a homey feel. read more

My favorite restaurant . Everyone does a great job . The food is great! Love the baked clams, Eggplant Parmigiana & chicken parmigiana.

Wanted to try a new Italian spot and decided on this place. We always drive past it and figured it was time to finally try it. It was a busy night so we just decided to do takeout. Glad we tried the food here. Everything we got was do delicious! Here's what we ordered: - small tossed salad with Italian dressing and chicken - grandma pizza (pie): thin crust pan pizza with mozzarella, a touch if garlic and topped with crushed plum tomatoes - buffalo chicken pizza: Neapolitan pizza topped with spicy chicken pieces, blue cheese sauce and mozzarella cheese - quattro pali: 2 meatballs and mozzarella in tomato sauce The food was really good here. I plan to come back and dine-in to try other stuff on their menu. read more

Branchinelli's is my go to local pizza place. Pizza is consistently good every time and they always have great service. I usually go for a classic slice with some garlic knots, and pair it with a Coke. They are great and not overly garlicky. I definitely recommend checking them out! read more

these people are amazing! To open during the snowstorm to provide food for those need such as our drivers fireman is absolutely act of stewardship for our community! today was empty because of the storm as you can imagine, but yet they opened and took a financial hit to do so. Essential workers get a free warm meal before heading out into the brutal cold to keep us all safe thank you Branchinelli's. ! read more

Came here on a weekday lunch! This place was pretty busy, but we were still seated immediately! Great service! She was attentive and nice! The bread basket was delicious! It paired well with the soup and shrimp oreganata! The sauce was delicious in the shrimp! So garlicky and lemony! The bread was used for dipping all that goodness! The soup was perfect for a cold winter day! Very tasty! The prices are also super reasonable! Will definitely be back! A nice casual restaurant to hang out any time and have an anytime meal!!!! read more

"Branchinelli's" is a pizzeria-restaurant. Upon entering the establishment one is greeted by white walls, a retro counter and a chrome glass display on the pizzeria station. Both the restaurant and the pizzeria are spotless. Turning to the left, one enters the booth segment of the restaurant which is now encapsulated by sheets of plastic. Walking past the booths, one enters the table area of the restaurant. We were seated here, in an alcove. Although it was a Friday night, the wait was not long. Regrettably, the restaurant does not take reservations. The menu is not extensive, in my estimation a positive sign. The faire is strictly Italian. My wife ordered the "Spaghetti w/ Rapi" and my son's girlfriend ordered the "Tortellini Marinara." My son, daughter and I ordered a fresh mozzarella pie. As appetizers, we had an the calamari and fried zucchini. To drink, we there was a mixture of iced teas, a house Pinot and San Pellegrino mineral water. The appetizers were tasty. The calamari were firm but not overly cooked and the zucchini were crunchy but not overdone. Shortly after finishing the appetizers, the main entrees arrived. My wife's dish was enough for two. No complaints from that dish. Also, the Pinot blended nicely with the meal. My son's girlfriend liked her dinner very much. My daughter, my son and I dug into the fresh mozzarella pizza with gusto. The crust was cooked just enough to hold the cheese and sauce firmly in place. The mozzarella and the basil were fresh. Combined with the chunky marinara sauce the trio created an explosion of flavor with every bite. Originally, we all ordered "Tartufo" for dessert but they had run out so we settled for "Chocolate Lava Cake" - which came with fresh whipped cream and vanilla ice cream - and cannoli. The lava cake was heated and worked well with the ice cream. The table's consensus on the cannoli: all good. Honestly, I was not impressed with the cake. The cappuccino, on the other hand, was excellent! Hot, high thick froth and flavorful coffee. The price of the meal was reasonable but not inexpensive. The takeaways: 1. Excellent and hearty Italian food. 2. Excellent fresh Neapolitan pizza pie. 3. Attentive staff. 4. Dessert... okay. 5. Cappuccino is a must! 6. Ample parking. 7. Pricey but worth it! read more

This is our go to restaurant for dinner. Large menu from salads to heroes and everything in between. Pizza is also available for takeout or eat in. My favorite is veal parm with ziti. Second is rigatoni Branchinelli. read more

Branchinelli's Miller Place is a casual Italian pizzeria restaurant. Hubby and I started with the fried calamari and fried zucchini. They were both crispy and well prepared. The marinara sauce that accompanied them was light and flavorful. Hubby ordered the baked pasta Branchinelli, which was a rigatoni like pasta with sausage, mushrooms and a tomato sauce with melted mozzarella. It was an ample portion and it was served piping hot. He enjoyed it very much. I opted for the chicken bruschetta. Fried chicken cutlets topped with ripe tomatoes, basil, and fresh mozzarella. The topping was very fresh and flavorful and the cutlets were crispy. It was a very large portion and I had to take some of it home. This was our first experience at this location and we enjoyed the food very much. read more

A Paula S. summarizes my feelings on this Miller Place facility. Whether eating in or during the chaos of picking up one of maybe over 50 a take out orders ( we live about 1/2 mile away) that we have bought since it opened.... the staff is very robotic and unfriendly, the counter staff is also lacks any emotion or eye contact .... negative aspect of the millenial workforce. However the real measure when you get past the service and people is the food. A LOT of pizza and italian competition in RP, MP, MS, SB etc They are not the best plain pie by about 5 places according to my "experts" (smile) However the buffalo chicken pizza has NO PEER and is stunning and tasty. Also their vegetable lazagna which they sadly only have on Friday and Saturday is worth the trip. While portions are large pound for pound 9f per entree per person its a bit pricey. I would prefer a less impressive pile of food in the teens $$ instead of having to take half my plate home for $26. Quality not quantity. And looking at Americas waistline we could use some restraint. (I get it from the business andn turn of the table per minute $$$ perspective.) Just saying expensive. read more

Pizza very good. However, dinner was a huge disappointment. Would not go back for lunch or dinner. I asked for clams with angel hair pasta. They didn't have this so I ordered spaghetti. The clams were canned, not fresh, and there was way more garlic than clams. Awful. Partner asked for linguini. They didn't have it do he got spaghetti. There was a pool of red water in the bottom of the bowl. Awful. read more

Their Neapolitan pizza and garlic knots are solid staples! Along with their marinara sauce, too. We are new to the area and have been searching for our local pizza spot for almost 2 years, and we were surprised that it took us so long to realize it was right in front of us the whole time! We haven't had any pizza here that we didn't like. Grandma's pizza is great, too. Sicilian is solid. Our favorite is always keeping it simple with the Neopolian + meat, because the crust is just so good! Staff is very friendly and accommodating as well. read more

Best Sicilian slice on Long Island. Great salad and dinners as well! Highly recommend the rigatoni alla Branchinellis

Went on a Thursday afternoon. At 2pm the place was packed. There was a bit of confusion because the guy behind the pizza counter told us to have a seat in the dining area, but there was no hostess or anything. Eventually the server noticed us and took our order. Very sweet young girl, got our order exactly correct and never missed refilling the drinks. She also seemed to be the only one there serving about 15+ tables. We gave her a good tip. A+ on service. Food was good. I guess I was expecting to be blown away based on reviews. But good. They brought a complimentary bread basket which had DELICIOUS focaccia (as well as regular bread). Soft, buttery, tomatoey, garlicky. Very tasty, especially if you're hungry while waiting for entrées. Baked whole clams- good. Reasonably priced. Served with a nice buttery sauce that you could mop up with that focaccia (if you had any left)! Grandma pie- great. Excellent crust, nice and fresh. Spaghetti with white clam sauce- good. Not the best I've had. No whole clams in the shell and I almost cracked a tooth on a piece of shell mixed into the sauce. That wasn't too great. Atmosphere- typical pizzeria front, restaurant behind. Seems like they're doing quite well. Would recommend, for pizza especially. Pics next time. And that focaccia was *chefs kiss* read more
