As the saying goes, 'a picture is worth a thousand words.' So why didn't I take any? Honestly, I wasn't expecting to post an update. I've been here several times since my initial review. I wasn't bowled over with Delizia, but my friend is, and I'm pretty easy-going when I'm with people that I like. I realized that most of their clientele is older. I am too, but I enjoy food that shouts out flavor. A hint of garlic doesn't do it for me. So this week I was candid with our server, a lovely person who knows my friend. I asked for chicken marsala with LOTS of mushrooms and sauteed spinach that's VERY garlicy. The chef complied and my meal was pretty darned good. Not the best I've had on the upper eastside, but good enough for me to get again. My husband was with us; the two of us shared a garden salad. Delizia's salads aren't great. I have to remember next time to say 'don't put string beans on our salad!' Who does that?! I didn't want dessert, but I had a taste of T's. The filling in his cannoli didn't look like it would be good ... but it was! BTW, a few months ago we had dinner around the corner at my friend's apartment. She ordered pizza from Delizia and it was really good. I guess you have to find what you like, as in any restaurant. read more

Pretty much a carbon copy of their other location up on 92nd street. Similar look and layout. Pizza parlor with seating in the front and full dining room in the back. Pizza, pasta, salads, desserts all consistently tasty and fairly priced. Even the Sicilian slices here are just as good as their other location. read more

Was at the nearby hospital and stopped by for a slice. OK neighborhood shop with pizza, desserts and pasta with a full restaurant in the back. Slice was $4.36. (Double hi) Ok looking undercarriage. No flop. A little floury on the bottom. Average cheese quality and sauce. Bathroom. Lots of seats and tables. Nice guys. read more

What happened?! Used to love the food in the back room. No More. Now Mediocre to just Bad. Insisted that not going again-- but unfortunately got talked into it. A bad mistake-- the pasta with mussels had tiny tasteless mussels with what appeared to be cheap , possibly stale, pasta while the veal special was bitter. read more

Very good. Always come here get their grandma slice. Crunchy and doughy. I like their slice isn't too huge. So I don't have to concern about my carb intake read more

Easily one of my favorite pizza spots on the upper east. Little bit expensive now though and the only slice I think worth getting is the margherita (and it's good). Mostly nostalgia. The service is good, location is great, and the ambiance is very nice. It's more than simple slice shop so that's an extra point. read more

The workers here are courteous. And the food is good. This is a good go-to spot for pizza.

Takeout. Three stars for the rest of the meal, but do NOT order the meatballs! Zero stars for them. Though generously sized - there were two huge meatballs - they smell bad and it's like they have liver in them or something, a very weird flavor. Inedible. Generous with bread, including garlic knots, and the linguine was cooked perfectly al dente as was the broccoli with garlic, pasta sauce was flavorful but I'm extremely disappointed in the meatballs. read more

I live in the neighborhood, and typically don't go here, but decided to grab two plain slices to go. I was really surprised how good it was. The sauce had depth and flavor to it. I added some salt, garlic powder, and crystal hot sauce to it at home. This is a good representation of a classic New York slice. The chicken roll is very good, also. read more

Our neighborhood spot and the classics never miss - a NY slice and a pepperoni. Place is clean, folks are adequately nice, food is good. The food beyond the pizzas look pretty good too and we're curious to try them out. $10 min for credit card otherwise use cash. read more

At a friend's party over the weekend, the host ordered a few a pies on Sunday to augment the great spread he already had out. Pizza arrived in about 30 minutes, warm and delicious. Slices were very soft and dough, and flopping around every which way when held - if you're a hold in the air / fold-over kind of person, this pizza will not suit your style. That being said, the slices hit the spot and were a welcome addition to our Superbowl party. Based on the other reviews, I guess I'd try eating there if I were to give them another try. read more

Solid pie. A softer pie, not so crispy or thin. Good. Really flavorful. Juicy. Soft soft crust, not dry which I loved. It was all fresh. Hot to go. Cheesy. I loved every bite. The softness was such a nice surprise and refresh. read more

I just moved back to the UES after 10 years. I was a steady customer of both Delizia restaurants. I loved their meatball parm. Tonight the meatball parm was like eating meatballs made out of dog food. No texture, mash meat and a burnt hero when I ask for it to be crunchy. What a total disappointment. Success can make a business blind to quality, texture and flavor. Clearly they forgot how delicious the meatball parm was years ago. My last time I'll walk into a Delizia. Sad. read more

I have always had an excellent experience at this pizza parlor. And you must understand Pizza is okay with me. But they're pasta is superb. And Incredibly reasonably priced for the Upper East side. I can never complain about the service here. The service is impeccable. All of the wait staff are very friendly. I adore the pasta as I already said. But please I recommend highly sit in the back room. Cuz it gets incredibly noisy in the front room. This place I give it 10. And I always will read more

Very dissapointed with staff . I wanted to eat in the back room when I arrived at 5:25 and was turned down because I had no reservation. I came with my mother after church . I have been coming here for over 15 years and never encounter this behavior. The attending waiter was rude and disrespectful. We could have been accommodated easily and eaten without any disruption. Will tell Frankie when I see him next. This is the room an hour later. Very rude staff on 10/18 at 5:30pm read more

Dinners and merlot wine looked so good - but had to race back - so pizza it was. Sicilian looked good but borrring- Neopolitan meat slice was exceptionally good. It just came out and people kept choosing it for slices. Nice enough of a sit down pizzeria to stay for a bite and even have a wine. Next time! read more

I've been a customer to Delizia 73 for over 20 years and they have not yet let me down the food. The service is outrageous and I like to thank Frank for the outstanding hard work.

We ordered from Delizia 73 a few times while we were visiting NYC, and it was exactly what we needed! The pizza was absolutely delicious, with the perfect blend of cheese and sauce. My daughter had one request a few days after her surgery, and Delizia 73 delivered beyond expectations. The service was impressively quick, and everything arrived hot and fresh. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we'll definitely be ordering again next time we are in town. read more

Can't tell if the staff is Mexican or Italian. Either way, if Mexicans are making Italian food this good, Nonna might want to watch her back. 10/10. Try their Garlic Knots read more

My husband went here to get a slice - just a plain slice of pizza and a drink. And that is what we got. I don't think it has changed in all these years and that's a good thing. I would have liked it hotter but we were so hungry I didn't feel like going back up to tell them. NY Pizza is the best. I'm sure there other dishes are wonderful as well but this is usually what I go here for. Well priced and lots of varieties to choose from. read more

Really enjoyed the plain cheese pizza. It's not mind blowing but it's a solid choice for the UES, and it works well even when delivered. Arrived hot with a crispy crust (not soggy!), and I liked the cheesy flavors - not too salty! Definitely will be a go-to for me in the future. Also tried their garlic knots (meh) and their Caesar salad (awful). I didn't have high expectations for the salad but it was near inedible because it was drenched in dressing. Never again. read more

Got a little surprise in my chefs salad today. Squiggly little pubic hair. I'm willing to cut some slack for a misplaced strand of hair from someone's head falling here and there. But in no scenario can I imagine pubic hair in food that's not a misdemeanor at worst or the most disgusting hygiene imaginable at best. Full on barf. No excuses for this. read more

A family member's surgery brought us to NYC for the first. We were starving after a 5 hour drive, 40 minutes if which were spent standing still to get on to the George Washington Bridge. 20 minutes of searching Google and Yelp, we finally landed and agreed on Delizia 73. I must say, BEST decision!!! I ordered a small White, my fiancé ordered a Large cheese with pepperoni and onion, and an order of stuffed mushrooms. Their website estimated a 45-60 minute delivery window. The food showed up in about 30 minutes. The delivery driver was very nice and polite! The food arrived hot, as if it had literally just left the kitchen! The pizza was flavorful, and the crust was perfect! The mushrooms were delicious and large. The prices weren't outrageous, and we definitely got more food than expected! We are only supposed to be here 3 days and 2 nights. I have a feeling we will be ordering again!! read more

It's a typical 80s pizza place. It's a self-service place with metal plates. You know how it looks inside. The pepperoni wheel is ok. The veggie wheel is lame. read more

I'm definitely not a snob when it comes to pizza. This place did not disappoint. Ordered a bunch of different slices to go and the crust was crispy and thin, the cheese was greasy and good, and the tomato sauce was sweet and yum. I especially loved the grandma pizza....so greasy and flavorful. The veggie slice was also delectable and loaded with lots of veggies. I was not a big fan of their garlic rolls tho. It was not garlicky enough IMO and a bit on the harder side. The only thing that was super disappointing was the tilapia francese with a side of spaghetti. The tilapia was very bland with no taste at all. And the spaghetti was soggy. I can't wait to come back and get a whole grandma pie to go! read more

I took my wife to Delizia for a momentous anniversary as we used to go there all the time when we lived in NYC years ago. The staff treated us to a wonderful experience (manager Gustavo set up a beautiful table with flowers and cards, and the owner even came by to give us a gift). The food was excellent -- as I remembered it -- and our server Raul was a gem. I highly recommend this place (don't be fooled by the pizza parlor in front). The back room is an oasis! read more

Delizia 73 has really delicious pizza, which we had delivered. We had the margherita pizza and a slice of the white and both were so good. I would definitely order from Delizia again! read more

This is the worst food and rude service for the outrageous prices they charge! I ordered a Caesar salad and they gave me lettuce ?!? with a couple of croutons really.... A real Caesar Salad has croutons dressed with lemon juice, olive oil, egg, Worcestershire sauce, anchovies (which I'm not a fan of) but at this point I would of taken anything more than just lettuce, garlic, Dijon mustard, Parmesan cheese, black pepper and Chicken for what DELIZIA 73 was charging me $9.50 read more

The service was awesome! Raul, was our server, he was friendly and attentive. Our meal was delicious! I had the sole limone, my husband had the lasagna, both awesome! We also had the caprese salad as an appetizer, delicious! The garlic knots were an added bonus. The atmosphere is very quaint, a small authentic Italian place. We loved everything, the food, service and ambiance. We will be back! Thank you Raul!! read more

You can't go wrong with this establishment! The customer service is impeccable! There's many options to choose from (sandwiches, pizza, pasta, salad, etc.) I've had a standard slice here a few times, however, I decided to splurge once and got a chicken parmigian hero. It was one of the best decions of I've made because it was delicious and satisfying. A majority of people tend to eat half and save the second half for later. I did no such thing. I devoured the entire thing and looking forward to trying the penne pasta next time around. read more

I love this pizza spot. Been coming since 2013 and it's stayed wonderfully consistent. My favorites are the vodka Sicilian slice, regular Sicilian slice, regular slice, and garlic knots. The sauce is slightly on the sweeter side which I like, but not too sweet, because my husband loves it too! read more

I have to give this place a 3* rating because they are still stuck in the 1980s. The place looks like it's out of a sitcom from that era. Plus they have a minimum $10 credit card rule. Even though I'm a regular customer, they refused to make a one time exception. When I offered to pay by debit card, they still enforced the rule - contrary to card policies. So sadly, I had to let them keep their pizza and can of soda (I only had $1 cash). There are plenty of other joints in the area. It's 2023 - hardly anyone keeps cash. Oh well. read more
