I don't know what food standards practices are in NYC but that's disgusting, knowing your food was served to someone else before it being served to you. Absolutely not. Especially during busy times, the space is extremely crowded with limited seating. It was quite messy in there as well, since no one was bussing the tables: napkins everywhere, food stains everywhere. I ordered the jumbo pepperoni and it was good, just VERY greasy. Good value for food, but I felt like was gonna have a heart attack after (and yes, I degreased using the napkins, but the napkins they had were not soaking up enough grease, I had to use many napkins).

That being said, thought I give them another chance given all the slice places within a few blocks in this section of Morningside Heights. While a reasonably priced basic cheese slice, but not the cheapest, don't be fooled by their pizza's appearance. Although the crust was OK, the excess grease that slid off of my pizza was: 1) something no one should ingest and 2) required a bib to avoid staining clothes. Maybe Famiglia's "famous" recipe is for clientele are out-of-towners (and a few local bozos) who eat their slice with a knife and fork! My reco - If you're hungry for a classic New York slice and want the real local thing, go to "old school" Koronet immediately across the street!

So I ordered there, what looked to me like their plainest cheese slice.. When I received it, it was Luke warm.. I like it HOT.. Yes I like it hot.. So I requested to have it heated up and they agreed to do that for me.. Nice and hot.. I enjoyed that slice.. Was nice, thin with a crispness.. Perfect Cheese to sauce ratio. Not too much sauce or too much cheese. All around perfect. It was so good I went up to order another one.. This is where it got weird.. so I go to the register and ask for a plain slice. The guy at the register said to me with the most bland expression "We don't have plain slices".. He said "We have a house, Slice".. I'm thinking... hmmmm I just previously ordered what I thought was a plain slice with no problem.. All good.. and all of a sudden it's a BIG deal to ask for a Plain slice.. Anyhow, I thought that last part was just dumb. What I think should have been said was "hey Mr., the closest thing we have to a place Slice is this house Slice that has sauce, cheese, grated whatever type of cheese and some leaves of basil. Or just say this is our plain slices and I can figure it out there. But to tell me that you don't have a plain slice and then point to a pizza that looks like it's a plain slice with the exception of some basil leaves, I mean, come on now. ‍ That was some Bozo stuff.. especially with the tude.. They should also at least pretend to act a little bit enthusiastic about working there... Anyways, it's a good slice.. Attitudes could change for the better.. In the end throw me attitude and baby, I'm really from NYC.. Born and raised.. I throw it right back at you 10 times worse or harder.. and so.. be kind and earn a service tip because kindness is appreciated.. With that sarcasm you earned no tip from me.. There's your Tip that you so appreciate pal! Respectfully... -Ray

V & T Pizzeria & Restaurant

V & T is a family owned Italian restaurant in operational with a long history since 1945 located in…read moreMorningside Heights, NY. It is accessible via 1 local train at 110th Street followed by a reasonable walk towards 1024 Amsterdam Avenue between 110th Street and 111th Streets. This restaurant is ADA accessible as it is street level. I had the great pleasure to be included to feel welcomed for dinner with colleagues. It was the most heartfelt experience that my presence was genuinely invited welcomingly for inclusion. I am desired for my energy and my existence. Reservations for table of seven (7) was a smooth dinner. Price is reasonable as expected for 2026 stagflation and inflation era. Customer service is attentive to our party of seven and very accommodating to our reasonable requests. Cold water was served chilled and extra wine glasses were distributed among our party for one bottle of wine. Unfortunately, my favorite red wine Montepulciano d'Abruzzo was unavailable which I suspected and believed to be a hard find. I opt for my second favorite red wine Chianti Classico from central Tuscany, Italy region which is available. This is a premium bottle that contains a Black Rooster neck seal as a member of the official Consorzio Vino Chianti Classico. There is a numbered DOCG seal, which is typically attached to the neck of the bottle confirms the wine's certification and compliance of Chianti wine classifications. This bottle of Chianti wine was very good. It has a dry, medium-bodied defined by bright sour cherry acidity. The bill was prepared and distributed the old school way handwritten on classic perforated "claim check" forms. Business cards are available for grabs which is added to my growing collection. Restroom facility is relatively clean. The atmosphere decorum appears rather dated particularly the ceiling of vintage dated with relief pressed tin tiles. The table cloth is red checkered gingham tablecloths which is popular in Italian restaurants for low cost, and create a rustic vibe. I think these red checkered gingham tablecloths are classic and timeless. This restaurant is ideal and the optimal atmospheric setting for couple first dates. It is not loud and does not emit boisterously loud background music. My foodie synopsis: Complimentary Italian bread with butter was requested and fresh with softness. I prefer olive oil to accompany bread. Lasagna Parmigiana with meat $22.00 Marinara sauce and the meat was a delight for my colleague. House salad $11.00 This is gargantuan portion size which I thought it was medium size, but not as a side dish. It surely tasted fresh. Arugula with white Goat Cheese pizza $25.00, small 14 inch pie (6 pieces) This small pie was enjoyed and shared with two people. It was fresh with high quality ingredients and very tasty. I actually taste the dressing. The Arugula vegetable was abundant. The crust was thin tender center befitting for New York standards and the goat cheese was sufficient but not strong and not overpowering pungent odor. I actually enjoyed this pizza and like the goat cheese. My favorite pizza is Margherita with mozzarella, tomato and basil embedded with extra virgin olive oil. I like the raised edge of Margherita pizza. The website menu incorrectly spelt as "Margarita." Margarita = tequila and lime cocktail drink Margherita = Italian pizza I cannot recall my remaining party's individual entrées, but it was delightfully engulfed and enjoyed. V & T staff is accommodating to take our group photo for this fellowship of colleagues. Food brings people together as humans we eat to live.

During dinner, we had the absolute pleasure of meeting Marlin. He was a wonderful employee and restaurant family member - honestly, the best we have ever met here. He was incredibly attentive and just so authentically warm. He has a true Italian soul and brought a calm, genuine hospitality to our table that made us feel like we were back in Italy. His service was flawless; he even brought us fresh water before our carafes were empty just to make sure it stayed nice and cold, and he kept checking in on us both quietly and verbally to ensure everything was perfect. We realized we've never seen him before because he's usually off on our regular dining night, but we had to introduce ourselves. He is such a wonderful asset to this restaurant. When you notice talent like that, you just have to go online and write about it.

The sauce was creamy and rich, and the portion size was nice. I even had some to take home. We did not have a reservation and although there was no outside seating available, we were able to geta table inside. Do note- we came around 9:30pm and I suspect it would be harder to walk up earlier on a Friday night. The atmosphere was that of a nice Italian restaurant, and the wait staff was friendly. A great option if you're in the area.

We ordered the burger, chicken sandwich, Cajun fries, hummus and pita and tater tots. For such a spacious location, they must have a play kitchen because most of the food was inedible. The "best" thing about my chicken sandwich (three tenders- was not even a patty) was the brioche bread. The "best" thing about the hummus was the pita. My friend took two bites of the burger and felt sick. We thought we had been pranked but felt sad about throwing so much food away. Just don't do it. I don't want to think about this food ever again.
