    a slice of pizza on a paper plate
    Sherry S.

    New to the neighborhood so trying all their pizza places. Not bad. Buffalo chicken pizza was pretty good as well as the broccoli rabe and mushroom slice. Crust was crunchy as it should be. Slice wasn't soggy. They were kind and clean. That's the 4th star. They get an entire star just because of the friendliness. Will go again.

    three slices of pizza on a paper plate
    Jackie L.

    One of THE BEST pizzerias I have ever been to. Unfortunately I moved to LA which is nearly impossible to find a decent slice... but any time I'm in NY I travel over to CDV and grab a ziti slice. They have so many other pizza options as well that are incredible. I can't even begin to explain how delicious the ziti slice is, I think about it 24/7. Highly, highly recommended. It's worth traveling from anywhere to give it a try. PS. The garlic knots are bomb af as well!!

    Bug in salad

    I order from here basically weekly and never had a problem. This used to be my go to pizza place until tonight when I ordered a house salad and found a dead bug in the salad. When I called to inform them just so they were aware they asked me what kind of bug it is and "what I wanted them to do about it?" I am so disappointed by this. Trigger warning: insect in food

    The best chicken franchise. However if it comes to the specialty pizza their buffalo chicken is amazing.

    Pizza sucks, it's small, thin and greasy. There are much better places on DPA for pizza and cheaper.

    Mama Sbarro's of Deer Park - Sicilian pie with no tomato sauce

    If you haven't been to Mama's Brick Oven Pizzeria & Restaurant at 30 Deer Shore Square in North…read moreBabylon, you're missing out on one of the South Shore's finest Italian dining experiences. Whether you're popping in for a quick slice or settling in for a full sit-down dinner, Mama's consistently delivers -- and then some. Let's start with the basics: the grandma pizza is exceptional. Thick, pillowy, perfectly crisped on the bottom with a rich, flavorful sauce -- it's everything a grandma pie should be. But don't stop there. The chicken parm hero is, without exaggeration, one of the best you'll find on Long Island. Generous, satisfying, and packed with flavor, it's the kind of sandwich that makes you close your eyes on the first bite. For those seeking something more elevated, the chicken francese is a standout -- light, lemony, and beautifully balanced. And the Bolognese sauce is a slow-simmered masterpiece, rich and deeply savory, the kind that makes you want to mop the plate clean with a piece of bread. What truly sets Mama's apart, though, is the people. Manager Nicole runs the front of house with warmth and genuine care, making every guest feel like a regular from the moment they walk in. Server Carol is an absolute delight -- attentive, friendly, and the kind of server who makes the whole experience feel effortless and personal. Mama's is the rare restaurant that works for every occasion. Date night, birthday celebration, graduation dinner, anniversary -- or just a Tuesday when you need a great slice. The atmosphere is welcoming, the food is consistently outstanding, and the staff makes you want to come back. Simply put: Mama's is a neighborhood treasure.

    I probably should've read the recent reviews instead of just looking at the amount of stars. I was…read morestarving and had no groceries in my fridge so I decided to give this shop a try. I was starving so anything would taste good - you would think. Based on previous pictures they seemed to give a generous amount of protein (2-3 pieces stacked of chicken in chicken parm pics). I'm not really a sandwich person because I find it quite rare to be wowed by them besides some really good ones on the must eat sandwich list of nyc. I agree with other reviewers that it's odd how there are no prices listed when previously they had the prices written. That does make the cost subject to change but I would hope that is that not the case on a daily basis. I ordered based on the yelp pictures and went with the chicken parm and big mitch. When we got the order. I was like wow these are big. The two sandwiches were a tad over $28. I was honestly surprised a sandwich cost this much but it does help that they are big and hopefully good. Anything is worth the price as long as it's good. I take a bite of the mitch and gave my partner a look. He's like let me guess, chicken is dry? Replied yeah..and no flavor. Maybe add more pesto and put it on both sides of the sandwich? Not sure. My Italian friend owns a shop in the boroughs and makes killer sandwiches. I don't know their secret for success that they always get long lines everyday but I do know you will never get a dry bland chicken. As for the chicken parm, there was only one layer of chicken! Man I was super disappointed. I specifically ordered this for more chicken. I understand why they put less sauce - so it's not soggy but maybe a tad more sauce would be helpful. This was equally dry and soggy. The cheese was really good and helped. I'm a huge supporter of local business, especially mom and pop shops. I think growing up in the boroughs really spoiled me with food choices. If you're hungry and just care about portion, I guess this is a good option around here. Honestly, I just drive back to the boroughs for food. Probably not economical and gas friendly but anything I intake needs to be worth my calories. I workout way too hard to consume food not up to par. This shop looks very clean and welcoming.

    This is the best chicken vodka parm sub I've ever had. Steaming hot juicy chicken, perfect vodka…read moresauce, and gooey melted fresh mozzarella. And the bread is perfection: thin crisp shattering crust, soft chewy elastic interior, not too dense, not too airy, not crumbly, just perfect. Service is so friendly, too. Will definitely be coming back to try some other things even though I just want to that chicken vodka parm for the rest of my life.
